CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

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

 

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

 

· The speculative nature of the business we intend to develop;

 

· Our reliance on suppliers and customers;

 

· Our dependence upon external sources for the financing of our operations, particularly given that there are concerns about our ability to continue as a “going concern”;

 

· Our ability to effectively execute our business plan;

 

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

 

· Our ability to finance our businesses;

 

· Our ability to promote our businesses;

 

· Our ability to compete and succeed in highly competitive and evolving businesses;

 

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

 

· Our ability to protect our intellectual property and to develop, maintain and enhance strong brands.

 

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

Section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934

 

Our shares are covered by section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended that imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker/dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouses). For transactions covered by the Rule, the broker/dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchase and have received the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction prior to the sale. Consequently, the Rule may affect the ability of broker/dealers to sell our securities and also may affect your ability to sell your shares in the secondary market.

 

Section 15(g) also imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker/dealers who sell penny securities. These rules require a one-page summary of certain essential items. The items include the risk of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary marketing; terms important to in understanding of the function of the penny stock market, such as bid and offer quotes, a dealers spread and broker/dealer compensation; the broker/dealer compensation, the broker/dealers’ duties to its customers, including the disclosures required by any other penny stock disclosure rules; the customers’ rights and remedies in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions; and, the FINRA’s toll free telephone number and the central number of the North American Administrators Association, for information on the disciplinary history of broker/dealers and their associated persons.

 

Dividends

The board of directors presently intends to retain any earnings to finance our operations and does not expect to authorize cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Any payment of cash dividends in the future will depend upon the Company's earnings, capital requirements and other factors.

RISK FACTORS

______

 

The following is only a brief summary of the risks involved in investing in our Company. Investment in our Securities involves risks. You should carefully consider the following risk factors in addition to other information contained in this Disclosure Document. The occurrence of any of the following risks might cause you to lose all or part of your investment. Some statements in this Document, including statements in the following risk factors, constitute “Forward-Looking Statements.”

 

The price of our common stock may be volatile.

 

If we are able to get a trading market for our stock, the trading price of our common stock is likely to remain highly volatile and could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to various factors, some of which are beyond our control or unrelated to our operating performance. In addition to the factors discussed in this “Risk Factors” section and elsewhere, these factors include: the operating performance of similar companies; the overall performance of the equity markets; the announcements by us or our competitors of acquisitions, business plans, or commercial relationships; threatened or actual litigation; changes in laws or regulations relating to the provision of health care or the sale of health insurance; any major change in our board of directors or management; publication of research reports or news stories about us, our competitors, or our industry or positive or negative recommendations or withdrawal of research coverage by securities analysts; large volumes of sales of our shares of common stock by existing stockholders; and general political and economic conditions.

 

In addition, the stock market in general, and the market for developing companies in particular, has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of those companies’ securities This litigation, if instituted against us, could result in very substantial costs; divert our management’s attention and resources; and harm our business, operating results, and financial condition.

 

Doubts About Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

 

The Company is an early stage enterprise and has not commenced planned principal operations. The Company had no revenues to date and minimal capitalization. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

There can be no assurance that sufficient funds required during the next year or thereafter will be generated from operations or that funds will be available from external sources, such as debt or equity financings or other potential sources. The lack of additional capital resulting from the inability to generate cash flow from operations, or to raise capital from external sources would force the Company to substantially curtail or cease operations and would, therefore, have a material adverse effect on its business. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that any such required funds, if available, will be available on attractive terms or that they will not have a significant dilutive effect on the Company’s existing stockholders.

 

The Company intends to overcome the circumstances that impact its ability to remain a going concern through a combination of the commencement of revenues, with interim cash flow deficiencies being addressed through additional equity and debt financing. The Company anticipates raising additional funds through public or private financing, strategic relationships or other arrangements in the near future to support its business operations; however, the Company may not have commitments from third parties for a sufficient amount of additional capital. The Company cannot be certain that any such financing will be available on acceptable terms, or at all, and its failure to raise capital when needed could limit its ability to continue its operations. The Company’s ability to obtain additional funding will determine its ability to continue as a going concern. Failure to secure additional financing in a timely manner and on favorable terms would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial performance, results of operations and stock price and require it to curtail or cease operations, sell off its assets, seek protection from its creditors through bankruptcy proceedings, or otherwise. Furthermore, additional equity financing may be dilutive to the holders of the Company’s common stock, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants, and strategic relationships, if necessary to raise additional funds, and may require that the Company relinquish valuable rights.

 

There are numerous material contingencies in our proposed acquisitions.

 

The Company intends to acquire other companies to expand its business. In connection with these acquisitions, including the currently proposed acquisition of Yuengling's, there are numerous material contingencies to consummation of these transactions, including, but not limited to, financing, satisfactory due diligence, and execution of a final purchase agreement. There is no assurance that any of these transactions will close, and if they close, that they will be successful.

Risks Related to the Food Business

 

Unfavorable publicity could harm our business.

 

Food businesses such as our proposed acquisitions can be adversely affected by publicity resulting from, among other things, complaints or litigation or general publicity regarding poor food quality, food-borne illness, personal injury, food tampering, team member relations, adverse health effects of consumption of various food products or high-calorie foods (including obesity), perceptions of corporate and social responsibility, or other concerns. Negative publicity from traditional or digital media, or from on-line social network postings may also result from actual or alleged incidents or events involving our products. Regardless of whether the allegations or complaints are valid, unfavorable publicity relating to our products could adversely affect public perception of the entire brand. Adverse publicity and its effect on overall consumer perceptions of food safety, or our failure to respond effectively to adverse publicity, could have a material adverse effect on our business.

 

Changes in consumer preferences or discretionary consumer spending could harm our performance.

 

The success of our proposed acquisitions depends, in part, upon the continued popularity of our concepts and shifts in these consumer preferences could negatively affect our future profitability. Negative publicity over the health aspects of certain food items may adversely affect consumer demand for our products and could result in a decrease in our revenues, which could materially harm our business. Additionally, our success depends, in part, on a consumer preference for eating our products and to an extent on numerous factors affecting discretionary consumer spending, including economic conditions, disposable consumer income and consumer confidence. A decline in consumer spending or in economic conditions could reduce guest traffic or impose practical limits on pricing, either of which could harm our business, financial condition, operating results or cash flow. We will be required to disclose calorie counts for our products, due to federal regulations, and this may have an effect on consumers’ eating habits. Shifts in consumer preferences could also be based on health concerns related to the cholesterol, carbohydrate, fat, calorie, sugar or salt content of certain food items, including items featured on our menu.

 

Litigation, including the defense and resolution of class and collective actions, could materially impact our business.

 

We could be subject to various lawsuits, administrative proceedings and claims that arise in the course of business. We could be party to class and collective actions, along with other complex legal disputes, that could materially impact our business by requiring, among other things, unanticipated management attention, significant attorney fee and settlement spend or operational adjustments implemented in response to a settlement, court order or in an effort to mitigate future exposure.

 

Increased wage and hour litigation, including claims relating to the Fair Labor Standards Act, analogous state laws, or other state wage and hour laws could result in significant attorney fee and settlement costs. Resolution of non-litigated alleged wage and hour violations could also negatively impact our performance. The potential settlement of, or awards of damages for, such claims also could materially impact our financial performance as could operational adjustments implemented in response to a settlement, court order or in an effort to mitigate future exposure. Additionally, an increased volume of alleged statutory violations or matters referred to an agency for potential resolution could result in significant attorney fee and settlement costs that could, in the aggregate, materially impact our financial performance.

 

We may have litigation in a variety of matters, some matters may be unpredictable or unanticipated, and the frequency and severity of litigation could increase. Our legal and regulatory environment includes matters such as food safety and food borne illness, premises liability, advertising and promotions, employment, franchise relations, shareholders, intellectual property, data privacy, and a variety of other matters. Because lawsuits are inherently unpredictable, assessing contingencies is highly subjective and requires judgments about future events. A judgment that is not covered by insurance or that is significantly in excess of our insurance coverage could materially adversely affect our financial condition or results of operations.

 

We may be unable to compete effectively in the food industry.

 

The food industry is intensely competitive and heavily saturated. We believe we compete primarily with ice cream products, and to a lesser extent to other desert products. In addition, independent owners of local or regional food companies establishments may enter our markets without significant barriers to entry and such establishments may provide price competition for our products. Competition in the relevant segments of the food industry is expected to remain intense with respect to price, quality, marketing and the type and quality of food. We also face intense competition for qualified management personnel.

We may not be able to attract and retain qualified team members and key executives to operate and manage our business.

 

Our success and the success of our business depends on our ability to attract, motivate, develop and retain a sufficient number of qualified key leaders and employees. The inability to recruit, develop and retain these individuals may delay the marketing of our products or result in high employee turnover, thus increasing our costs. This could inhibit our expansion plans and business performance and, to the extent that a labor shortage may force us to pay higher wages, harm our profitability. Volatility or a lack of positive performance in our stock price may adversely affect our ability to retain key employees, some of whom may be granted equity compensation. The loss of any of our key leaders could jeopardize our ability to meet our financial targets.

 

Changes in employment laws or regulation could harm our performance.

 

Various federal, state, regional and local labor laws govern our relationship with our employees and affect operating costs. These laws include minimum wage requirements, overtime pay, paid time off, work scheduling, unemployment tax rates, workers’ compensation rates, citizenship requirements, union membership, and sales taxes. As the regulatory landscape continues to change and become more complex, it can be difficult to know all of the regulations, understand them clearly, and comply timely and consistently. A number of factors could adversely affect our operating results, including additional government-imposed increases in minimum wages, scheduling laws, overtime pay, paid leaves of absence and mandated health benefits, mandated training for employees, increased tax reporting and tax payment requirements for employees who receive tips, a reduction in the number of states that allow tips to be credited toward minimum wage requirements, or changing regulations from the National Labor Relations Board, other agencies or an administration occupying the White House.

 

We may be subject to increased labor costs.

 

Our operations are subject to federal and state laws governing such matters as minimum wages, working conditions, overtime, and tip credits. As federal, state, and local minimum wage rates increase, we may need to increase not only the wages of our minimum wage employees, but also the wages paid to employees already earning a wage rate above minimum wage. Labor shortages, increased employee turnover, and health care mandates also could increase our labor costs. This, in turn, could lead us to increase prices which could impact our sales. Competitive pressures beyond regulatory requirements may affect our cost to attract, reward and retain Team Members and managers. Conversely, if competitive pressures or other factors prevent us from offsetting increased labor costs by increases in prices, our profitability may decline.

 

Our strategic growth and innovation activities may not perform in accordance with our expectations.

 

Our ability to grow gross sales and increase profitability is dependent on designing and executing effective business strategies consistent with those described in our strategy. If we are delayed or unsuccessful in executing our strategies, or if our strategies do not yield the desired results, our business, financial condition, and results of operations may suffer.

 

Our brands may not be successful.

 

We will have a majority investment in our brands. If these brands do not succeed, we risk losing all or a substantial portion of our investment in that brand. In addition, our overall long-term growth may be affected by the level of success achieved by either of these products.

 

Shortages or interruptions in the availability and delivery of ingredients and other supplies may increase costs or reduce revenues.

 

Possible shortages or interruptions in the supply of ingredients and other supplies to us caused by inclement weather, terrorist attacks, natural disasters such as floods, drought and hurricanes, global warming, avian influenza, pandemics, the inability of our vendors to obtain credit in a tightened credit market, or other distribution dependencies, food safety warnings or advisories or the prospect of such pronouncements, or other conditions beyond our control, could adversely affect the availability, quality and cost of items we buy and our products. Our inability to effectively manage supply chain risk could increase our costs and limit the availability of products critical to our operations.

 

 

 

  6  

 

 

We are dependent on information technology and any material failure of that technology could impair our ability to efficiently operate our business.

 

We rely on information systems across our operations, including, for example, sale processing, management of our supply chain, collection of cash and credit and debit card payments, payment of obligations, and various other processes and procedures. Our ability to efficiently manage our business depends significantly on the reliability and capacity of these sometimes-complex systems, including reliance upon third-party service and technology providers. The failure of these systems to operate effectively, disputes with our technology vendors, problems with maintenance, upgrading or transitioning to replacement systems, or a breach in security of these systems could cause delays in customer service, reduce efficiency in our operations, require significant investment to remediate, require significant legal expense, or cause negative publicity that could damage our brand. Significant capital investments might be required to remediate any problems.

 

Risks Relating to Our Financial Condition

 

Our management has a limited experience operating a public company and are subject to the risks commonly encountered by early-stage companies.

Although management of Aureus Inc. has experience in operating small companies, current management has not had to manage expansion while being a public company. Many investors may treat us as an early-stage company. In addition, management has not overseen a company with large growth. Because we have a limited operating history, our operating prospects should be considered in light of the risks and uncertainties frequently encountered by early-stage companies in rapidly evolving markets. These risks include:

 

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

 

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

 

We have limited operational history in an emerging industry, making it difficult to accurately predict and forecast business operations.

 

As we have little or no operational history and have yet to generate revenue, it is extremely difficult to make accurate predictions and forecasts on our finances. This is compounded by the fact that we operate in transforming industries. There is no guarantee that our products or services will remain attractive to potential and current users as these industries undergo rapid change, or that potential customers will utilize our services.

 

As a growing company, we have yet to achieve a profit and may not achieve a profit in the near future, if at all.

 

We have not yet produced a net profit and may not in the near future, if at all. While we expect our revenue to grow, we have not achieved profitability and cannot be certain that we will be able to sustain our growth rate or realize sufficient revenue to achieve profitability. Our ability to continue as a going concern may be dependent upon raising capital from financing transactions, increasing revenue throughout the year and keeping operating expenses below our revenue levels in order to achieve positive cash flows, none of which can be assured.

 

We will require additional capital to support business growth, and this capital might not be available on acceptable terms, if at all.

 

We intend to continue to make investments to support our business growth and may require additional funds to respond to business challenges, including the need to update our technology, improve our operating infrastructure or acquire complementary businesses and technologies. Accordingly, we will need to engage in continued equity or debt financings to secure additional funds. If we raise additional funds through future issuances of equity or convertible debt securities, our existing stockholders could suffer significant dilution, and any new equity securities we issue could have rights, preferences and privileges superior to those of our common stock. Any debt financing that we secure in the future could involve restrictive covenants relating to our capital raising activities and other financial and operational matters, which may make it more difficult for us to obtain additional capital and to pursue business opportunities, including potential acquisitions. We may not be able to obtain additional financing on terms favorable to us, if at all. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing or financing on terms satisfactory to us when we require it, our ability to continue to support our business growth and to respond to business challenges could be impaired, and our business may be harmed.

 

 

 

  7  

 

 

We are highly dependent on the services of our key executives, the loss of whom could materially harm our business and our strategic direction. If we lose key management or significant personnel, cannot recruit qualified employees, directors, officers, or other personnel or experience increases in our compensation costs, our business may materially suffer.

 

We are highly dependent on our management, specifically Mr. Everett Dickson. As of March 31, 2019, we have an employment agreement in place with Mr. Dickson. If we lose key employees, our business may suffer. Furthermore, our future success will also depend in part on the continued service of our management personnel and our ability to identify, hire, and retain additional key personnel. We do not carry “key-man” life insurance on the lives of any of our executives, employees or advisors. We experience intense competition for qualified personnel and may be unable to attract and retain the personnel necessary for the development of our business. Because of this competition, our compensation costs may increase significantly.

 

We may be unable to manage growth, which may impact our potential profitability.

 

Successful implementation of our business strategy requires us to manage our growth. Growth could place an increasing strain on our management and financial resources. To manage growth effectively, we will need to:

 

· Establish definitive business strategies, goals and objectives;
· Maintain a system of management controls; and
· Attract and retain qualified personnel, as well as develop, train, and manage management-level and other employees.

 

If we fail to manage our growth effectively, our business, financial condition, or operating results could be materially harmed, and our stock price may decline.

 

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

 

We operate in a highly competitive environment. Our competition includes all other companies that are in the food business. A highly competitive environment could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and prospects.

 

We may not be able to compete successfully with other established companies offering the same or similar services and, as a result, we may not achieve our projected revenue and user targets.

 

If we are unable to compete successfully with other businesses in our existing market, we may not achieve our projected revenue and/or customer targets. We compete with both start-up and established companies. Compared to our business, some of our competitors may have greater financial and other resources, have been in business longer, have greater name recognition and be better established in our markets.

 

We expect to incur substantial expenses to meet our reporting obligations as a public company. In addition, failure to maintain adequate financial and management processes and controls could lead to errors in our financial reporting and could harm our ability to manage our expenses.

 

We estimate that it will cost approximately $50,000 annually to maintain the proper management and financial controls for our filings required as a public reporting company. In addition, if we do not maintain adequate financial and management personnel, processes and controls, we may not be able to accurately report our financial performance on a timely basis, which could cause a decline in our stock price and adversely affect our ability to raise capital.

Risks Relating to our Common Stock and Offering

 

If we are able to develop a market for our Common Stock, our Common Stock may be thinly traded, so you may be unable to sell at or near ask prices or at all if you need to sell your shares to raise money or otherwise desire to liquidate your shares.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

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

 

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

 

· our ability to market our products and services;
· our ability to execute our business plan;
· operating results below expectations;
· our issuance of additional securities, including debt or equity or a combination thereof;
· announcements of technological innovations or new products by us or our competitors;
· loss of any strategic relationship;
· industry developments, including, without limitation, changes in healthcare policies or practices;
· economic and other external factors;
· period-to-period fluctuations in our financial results; and
· whether an active trading market in our common stock develops and is maintained.

 

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

 

Natural disasters and geo-political events could adversely affect our business.

 

Natural disasters, including hurricanes, cyclones, typhoons, tropical storms, floods, earthquakes and tsunamis, weather conditions, including winter storms, droughts and tornadoes, whether as a result of climate change or otherwise, and geo-political events, including civil unrest or terrorist attacks, that affect us, or other service providers could adversely affect our business.

 

We do not expect to pay dividends in the future; any return on investment may be limited to the value of our common stock.

 

We do not currently anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. The payment of dividends on our common stock will depend on earnings, financial condition and other business and economic factors affecting it at such time as the board of directors may consider relevant. Our current intention is to apply net earnings, if any, in the foreseeable future to increasing our capital base and development and marketing efforts. There can be no assurance that the Company will ever have sufficient earnings to declare and pay dividends to the holders of our common stock, and in any event, a decision to declare and pay dividends is at the sole discretion of our board of directors. If we do not pay dividends, our common stock may be less valuable because a return on your investment will only occur if its stock price appreciates.

 

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

 

We are entitled under our articles of incorporation to issue up to 500,000,000 shares of common stock. We have, as of the date of this Offering Circular, 82,050,000 issued and outstanding share of Common Stock. Our board may generally issue shares of common stock, preferred stock, options, or warrants, without further approval by our shareholders based upon such factors as our board of directors may deem relevant at that time. It is likely that we will be required to issue a large amount of additional securities to raise capital to further our development. It is also likely that we will issue a large amount of additional securities to directors, officers, employees and consultants as compensatory grants in connection with their services, both in the form of stand-alone grants or under our stock plans. We cannot give you any assurance that we will not issue additional shares of common stock, or options or warrants to purchase those shares, under circumstances we may deem appropriate at the time.

 

 

 

  10  

 

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Our common stock will be deemed a “penny stock,” which will make it more difficult for our investors to sell their shares.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

 

 

  11  

 

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

A reverse stock split may decrease the liquidity of the shares of our common stock.

 

The liquidity of the shares of our common stock may be adversely affected by a reverse stock split given the reduced number of shares that will be outstanding following a reverse stock split, especially if the market price of our common stock does not increase as a result of the reverse stock split.

 

Following a reverse stock split, the resulting market price of our common stock may not attract new investors, including institutional investors, and may not satisfy the investing requirements of those investors. Consequently, the trading liquidity of our common stock may not improve.

 

Although we believe that a higher market price of our common stock may help generate greater or broader investor interest, we cannot assure you that a reverse stock split will result in a share price that will attract new investors.

 

We are classified as an “emerging growth company” as well as a “smaller reporting company” and we cannot be certain if the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies and smaller reporting companies will make our common stock less attractive to investors.

 

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act, and we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies, including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive because we may rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and our stock price may be more volatile.

 

Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an “emerging growth company” can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have irrevocably opted out of the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards pursuant to Section 107(b) of the JOBS Act.

 

We could remain an “emerging growth company” for up to five years, or until the earliest of (i) the last day of the first fiscal year in which our annual gross revenues exceed $1 billion, (ii) the date that we become a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act, which would occur if the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter, and (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt during the preceding three-year period.

 

 

 

  12  

 

 

Notwithstanding the above, we are also currently a “smaller reporting company.” Specifically, similar to “emerging growth companies,” “smaller reporting companies” are able to provide simplified executive compensation disclosures in their filings; are exempt from the provisions of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requiring that independent registered public accounting firms provide an attestation report on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting; and have certain other decreased disclosure obligations in their SEC filings. Decreased disclosures in our SEC filings due to our status as an “emerging growth company” or “smaller reporting company” may make it harder for investors to analyze our results of operations and financial prospects.

 

Because directors and officers currently and for the foreseeable future will continue to control Aureus Inc., it is not likely that you will be able to elect directors or have any say in the policies of Aureus Inc.

 

Our shareholders are not entitled to cumulative voting rights. Consequently, the election of directors and all other matters requiring shareholder approval will be decided by majority vote. The directors, officers and affiliates of Aureus Inc. beneficially own a majority of our outstanding common stock voting rights. Due to such significant ownership position held by our insiders, new investors may not be able to affect a change in our business or management, and therefore, shareholders would have no recourse as a result of decisions made by management.

 

In addition, sales of significant amounts of shares held by our directors, officers or affiliates, or the prospect of these sales, could adversely affect the market price of our common stock. Management’s stock ownership may discourage a potential acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of us, which in turn could reduce our stock price or prevent our stockholders from realizing a premium over our stock price.

 

Current Management has Voting Control of the Company.

 

As along as at least one share of our Series A Preferred Stock is outstanding, such Preferred Stock shall represent 66 2/3% of all votes entitled to be voted at any annual or special meeting of shareholders. All outstanding shares of our Series A Preferred Stock are held by Everett Dickson, the Company's President. Thus, Mr. Dickson has and will continue to have, voting control of the Company. See “DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES – Series A Convertible Preferred Stock” and ”PRINCIPAL SHAREHOLDERS – Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.”

 

Since we intend to retain any earnings for development of our business for the foreseeable future, you will likely not receive any dividends for the foreseeable future.

 

We have never declared or paid any cash dividends or distributions on our capital stock. We currently intend to retain our future earnings to support operations and to finance expansion and therefore we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future.

 

Risks Relating to Our Company and Industry

 

The following risks relate to our proposed business and the effects upon us assuming we obtain financing in a sufficient amount.

 

Intellectual property rights claims may adversely affect an investment in us.

 

We are not aware of any intellectual property claims that may prevent us from operating; however, third parties may assert intellectual property claims relating to our technology. Regardless of the merit of an intellectual property or other legal action, any legal expenses to defend or payments to settle such claims would be extremely expensive and be borne by us. Additionally, a meritorious intellectual property claim could prevent us from operating and force us to liquidate. As a result, an intellectual property claim against us could adversely affect an investment in us.

 

Statements Regarding Forward-looking Statements

______

 

This Disclosure Statement contains various "forward-looking statements." You can identify forward-looking statements by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "believes," "expects," "may," "will," "would," "could," “should," "seeks," "approximately," "intends," "plans," "projects," "estimates" or "anticipates" or the negative of these words and phrases or similar words or phrases.

As shown above, we will use a substantial portion of the proceeds to pay bank loans. YIC Acquisitions assumed three loans. The first loan was an SBA loan with a balance of $1,061,077.80 and annual interest of 7.5%. The loan has monthly payments and matures March 13, 2026. The second loan is a line of credit with a balance of $816,831.51 and an annual interest rate of 6.5%. Payment on this line of credit are monthly. The third loan is for a truck with a balance of $17,944.87 and annual interest of 4.95%. This loan has monthly payments and matures May 6, 2020.

 

As indicated in the table above, if we sell only 75%, or 50%, or 25% of the shares offered for sale in this offering, we would expect to use the resulting net proceeds for the same purposes as we would use the net proceeds from a sale of 100% of the shares, and in approximately the same proportions, until such time as such use of proceeds would leave us without working capital reserve. At that point we would expect to modify our use of proceeds by limiting our expansion, leaving us with the working capital reserve indicated.

 

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

 

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

DILUTION

______

 

If you purchase shares in this offering, your ownership interest in our Common Stock will be diluted immediately, to the extent of the difference between the price to the public charged for each share in this offering and the net tangible book value per share of our Common Stock after this offering.

Forward Looking Statements

 

This Offering Circular contains forward-looking statements. For this purpose, any statements contained in this Offering Circular that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Forward-looking information includes statements relating to future actions, prospective products, future performance or results of current or anticipated products, sales and marketing efforts, costs and expenses, interest rates, outcome of contingencies, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, business strategies, cost savings, objectives of management, and other matters. You can identify forward-looking statements by those that are not historical in nature, particularly those that use terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “contemplates,” “estimates,” “believes,” “plans,” “projected,” “predicts,” “potential,” or “continue” or the negative of these similar terms. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a “safe harbor” for forward-looking information to encourage companies to provide prospective information about themselves without fear of litigation so long as that information is identified as forward-looking and is accompanied by meaningful cautionary statements identifying important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in the information.

 

These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that we cannot predict. In evaluating these forward-looking statements, you should consider various factors, including the following: (a) those risks and uncertainties related to general economic conditions, (b) whether we are able to manage our planned growth efficiently and operate profitable operations, (c) whether we are able to generate sufficient revenues or obtain financing to sustain and grow our operations, (d) whether we are able to successfully fulfill our primary requirements for cash, which are explained below under “Liquidity and Capital Resources”. We assume no obligation to update forward-looking statements, except as otherwise required under the applicable federal securities laws.

Our First Acquisition – Yuengling's Ice Cream

 

The Yuengling Family began making ice cream in 1920 when Frank D. Yuengling, President of D.G. Yuengling & Sons Brewery, started a separate company - Yuengling’s Ice Cream - to keep the Yuengling Brewery solvent despite the onset of Prohibition. In 1935, upon the repeal of Prohibition, Frank transferred ownership to son, Frederick G. Yuengling, and, from 1963 to 1985, Frederick’s eldest son, Frederick G. Yuengling, Jr., proudly produced ice cream, serving up generations of memories for folks in and around Pennsylvania.

 

In 2014, after a near 30 year absence from store shelves, Frederick G. Yuengling Jr.’s son, David Yuengling, and Rob Bohorad relaunched the Yuengling’s Super Premium Ice Cream brand through regionally focused Retail, Wholesale and Food Service channels in and around the Keystone State.

 

Looking ahead to 2019, Yuengling’s Ice Cream agreed to be acquired by Aureus, Inc. The Aureus/Yuengling’s union provides the capital needed to address our organic expansion plans, tactically reduce accounts payable and iii) dramatically reduce the Parent Co. debt. All of there activities managed and overseen by our team of C-level corporate finance, turn around, marketing, logistics & transport specialists to help guide this nationally recognized, award winning, high value, exceptional quality Super Premium artisan ice cream brand to profitability by 2020.

 

Our first acquisition, is the operating assets of Yuengling's Inc Cream Corp. Developed by American businessman Frank D. Yuengling as a dairy business to help support the Yuengling family brewery during the 1920s Prohibition period, Yuengling's Ice Cream has a strong tradition of making exceptional gourmet ice cream products in central Pennsylvania. This fan-favorite brand continues advancing its legacy and its renowned dairy quality, by using locally sourced dairy ingredients that contain no added hormones.

 

The Acquisition

 

Aureus has purchased substantially all of the assets of Yuengling's Ice Cream Corp. and placed these assets in a subsidiary of Aureus, YIC Acquisition, Inc. The consideration for the purchase is a $150,000 promissory note payable over 24 months, plus the assumption of the secured indebtedness of the Company and such other obligations of the Company as the Aureus subsidiary may elect in its sole discretion.

 

 

 

  21  

 

 

The full principal amount of the promissory note has been remitted to the Yuengling by Aureus, reducing the outstanding principal amount of the promissory note.

 

YIC Acquisition has assumed three loans. The first loan was an SBA loan with a balance of $1,061,077.80 and annual interest of 7.5%. The loan has monthly payments and matures March 13, 2026. The second loan is a line of credit with a balance of $816,831.51 and an annual interest rate of 6.5%. Payment on this line of credit are monthly.

The existing shareholders of Yuengling’s will have the right to exchange their stock in the Aureus subsidiary at any time after six months from the Closing Date into $1,200,000 of the common stock of Aureus, valued at its volume weighted average sales price for the twenty (20) trading days preceding the date of the Closing.

Yuengling’s Mission Statement

 

Our mission is to provide the highest quality ice cream and dairy-related products to our consumers, offer an enjoyable work environment for our employees, establish lasting relationships with our customers and vendors that are centered on trust, strive to surpass our customers’ expectations, always act ethically, and give back to the communities that support us.

 

Brand Strengths

 

Yuengling’s is an American and family owned company with high brand recognition & loyalty. Its products are considered in the super premium category and are all natural. Yuengling’s exceeds whole foods market® ingredient quality standards. The product is Kosher with no added growth hormones, steroids or antibiotics.

 

Yuengling’s is a strong, recognized brand with a long, positive family history, an experienced management team and Board of Directors. We are smaller and more responsive than larger competitors.

 

At a time when national brands continue to reduce the quality of their offerings and downsize their products, Yuengling’s products compare favorably, providing good “value” to our customers, and regularly out-perform competitors in samplings. We offer innovative new products and flavors.

 

Operating Strategy

 

The Yuengling’s operating strategy is three-phased centering on development and acceptance in a defined core area; expanding once specific volume and metrics are attained. The company has accomplished Phase One and Two and since mid-2015, has been executing Phase Three.

 

Marketing

 

The core marketing area is defined as the area from Scranton, Pennsylvania in the North, central Virginia in the South, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to the West, and the New Jersey shore to the East. We offer higher than average overall margins for retailers.

 

We originally focused on forming an on-going relationship with a strong local super premium ice cream manufacturer and utilization of certain industry contacts that allowed initial platform development and flavor testing. Then we established critical mass distribution as well as specific consumer acceptance levels in the defined core marketing area. This was accomplished through brand promotion at store level and top of mind focused marketing programs, including large scale and small scale direct consumer product sampling. We are now expanding and establishing the brand outside the core marketing area. Our first expansion was in New England, Western Pennsylvania/Ohio, and North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia.

 

Development Strategy

 

Our development strategy began with market entry in February, 2014. The target was to establish distribution in retail grocery stores within the core marketing area with six quart flavors of ice cream per store.

 

The brand is a slight bargain compared to super premium brands such as Ben & Jerry’s and Haagen-Dazs and on par with other brands such as Gifford’s. The promotional pricing strategy depends upon the retailer with the brand positioned as a super premium offering. We sometimes engage in short-term Every Day Low Price (“EDLP”) program pricing in an effort to undermine the existing premium and super premium players.

Distribution is warehouse based.

 

 

 

  25  

 

 

Production

 

Production currently is being done at Hunter Farms in High Point, NC and the Galliker Dairy Company in Johnstown, PA. Hunter Farms and Galliker Dairy produce ice cream for several other national and regional brands. These locations are advantageous for delivery to our current retailers and for further expansion. They have high quality, modern facilities that allows us to produce at cost effective rates.

 

Product Specifications

 

Our packaging consists of six quarts to a case and eight pints to a case. We offer super premium butterfat (14%) basis with super premium flavorings and super premium ingredients. Our products have high solids and mid-range weight (50% over-run/air) for a super premium mouth feel.

 

Product History

 

In February, 2014 Yuengling’s brand was launched in quart containers in ten flavors. Quarts were the best way to gain access to shelf space without displacing an existing 48oz or 16oz products. In October, 2014 we launched two seasonal flavors and we added four new flavors in February, 2015. In July, 2015 we launched six pint flavors in 800 Ahold stores and began 3 gallon tub food service sales. In May, 2016 we were granted trademark for “Black & Tan” for ice cream category, and in September, 2016 we were granted trademark for “Butterbeer” for ice cream category.

 

Primary Retail Competitors

 

At the national level, the primary retail competitors are Ben & Jerry’s and Haagen Dazs. At the regional level the primary retail competitors are Giffords (Maine), Graeter’s (Ohio), and Turkey Hill (Pennsylvania).

 

Primary Advantages

 

We have a higher quality than most national brands, comparable to Ben & Jerry’s and Haagen Dazs. We have better value to consumers in terms of cost per ounce. We have new and different flavors, strong brand loyalty, and close relationships with retailers.

Director Independence

 

We are not currently subject to listing requirements of any national securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system which has requirements that a majority of the Board of Directors be “independent” and, as a result, we are not at this time required to have our Board of Directors comprised of a majority of “independent directors.”

 

Family Relationships

 

There are no familial relationships among any of our directors or officers.

 

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

 

None of our directors or executive officers has been involved in any of the following events during the past ten years: any bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time; any conviction in a criminal proceeding or being subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses); being subject to any order, judgment, or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting his or her involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities; or being found by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil action), the Commission or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended, or vacated.

 

Audit Committee

 

We currently do not have a separately standing Audit Committee due to our limited size and our Board performs the functions that would otherwise be performed by an Audit Committee.

 

Compensation Committee

 

The Company does not have a Compensation Committee due to our limited size and our Board performs the functions that would otherwise be performed by a Compensation Committee. Our Board intends to form a Compensation Committee when needed.

 

Other Committees

 

We do not currently have a separately-designated standing nominating committee. Further, we do not have a policy with regard to the consideration of any director candidates recommended by security holders. To date, no security holders have made any such recommendations. The entire Board of Directors performs all functions that would otherwise be performed by committees. Given the present size of our Board, it is not practical for us to have committees other than those described above, or to have more than two directors on such committees. If we are able to grow our business and increase our operations, we intend to expand the size of our board and our committees and allocate responsibilities accordingly.

 

Potential Conflicts of Interest

 

Because we do not have an audit or compensation committee comprised of independent directors, the functions that would have been performed by such committees are performed by our directors. The Board of Directors has not established an audit committee and does not have a financial expert, nor has the Board established a nominating committee. The Board is of the opinion that such committees are not necessary since the Company has only five directors, and to date, such directors have been performing the functions of such committees. Thus, there is a potential conflict of interest in that our directors and officers have the authority to determine issues concerning management compensation, nominations, and audit issues that may affect management decisions. We are not aware of any other conflicts of interest with any of our executive officers or directors.

 

Significant Employees

 

We do not have any significant employees other than our current executive officer and director named in this report.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

______

 

The Common Stock

 

We are authorized to issue 500,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $0.001 par value. The holders of Common Stock are entitled to equal dividends and distributions, with respect to the Common Stock when, as, and if declared by the Board of Directors from funds legally available for such dividends. No holder of Common Stock has any preemptive right to subscribe for any of our stock nor are any shares subject to redemption. Upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, and after payment of creditors and any amounts payable to senior securities, the assets will be divided pro rata on a share-for-share basis among the holders of the shares of Common Stock. All shares of Common Stock now outstanding upon completion of this Offering and conversion of any Preferred Stock, are, and will be, fully paid, validly issued and non-assessable.

 

Holders of our Common Stock do not have cumulative voting rights, so that the holders of more than 50% of the shares voting for the election of directors will be able to elect 100% of the directors if they choose to do so, and in that event, the holders of the remaining shares will not be able to elect any members to the Board of Directors. No holder of shares of capital stock possessing voting power shall have the right to cumulate his or her voting power in the election of directors.

 

At each meeting of holders of shares of capital stock for the election of directors at which a quorum is present, a nominee for election as a director in an uncontested election shall be elected to the board of directors if the number of votes cast for such nominee's election exceeds the number of votes cast against such nominee's election. Abstentions will not be considered votes cast for or against a nominee at the meeting. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the number of candidates exceeds the number of directors to be elected, then, in that election, the nominees receiving the greatest number of votes shall be elected.

 

An "uncontested election" means any meeting of holders of shares of capital stock at which the number of nominees does not exceed the number of directors to be elected and with respect to which no holder of capital stock has submitted notice of an intent to nominate a candidate for election at such meeting in accordance with the by-laws, as they may be amended from time to time, or, if such a notice has been submitted with respect to such meeting, on or before the tenth day prior to the date that the corporation files its definitive proxy statement relating to such meeting with the Securities and Exchange Commission (regardless of whether or not it is thereafter revised or supplemented), each such notice with respect to such meeting has been (a) withdrawn by its respective submitting stockholder in writing to the secretary of the corporation, (b) determined not to be a valid and effective notice of nomination (such determination to be made by the Board of Directors (or a designated committee thereof) pursuant' to the by-laws, or, if challenged in court, by final court order) or (c) determined not to create a bona fide election contest by the Board of Directors (or a designated committee thereof).

 

No holder of shares of stock of the corporation shall be entitled as of right to purchase or subscribe for any part of any unissued stock of this corporation or of any new or additional authorized stock of the corporation of any class whatsoever, or of any issue of securities of the corporation convertible into stock, whether such stock or securities be issued for money or for a consideration other than money or by way of dividend, but any such unissued stock or such new or additional authorized stock or such securities convertible into stock may be issued and disposed of to such persons, firms, corporations and associations, and upon such terms as may be deemed advisable by the board of directors without offering to stockholders then of record or any class of stockholders any thereof upon the same terms or upon any terms.

 

The Company has never paid any dividends to shareholders of our Common Stock. The declaration in the future of any cash or stock dividends will depend upon our capital requirements and financial position, general economic conditions, and other pertinent factors. We presently intend not to pay any cash or stock dividends in the foreseeable future. Management intends to reinvest earnings, if any, in the development and expansion of our business. No dividend may be paid on the Common Stock until all Preferred Stock dividends are paid in full.

Before taking any action which would cause an adjustment reducing the Conversion Price below the then par value of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, the Corporation will take any corporate action which may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary in order that the Corporation may validly and legally issue fully paid and non- assessable shares of Common Stock at such adjusted Conversion Price.

 

Effect of Conversion. All shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock which shall have been surrendered for conversion as herein provided shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding and all rights with respect to such shares shall immediately cease and terminate at the Conversion Time, except only the right of the holders thereof to receive shares of Common Stock in exchange therefor, and to receive payment of any dividends declared but unpaid thereon. Any shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock so converted shall be retired and canceled and may not be reissued as shares of such series, and the Corporation may thereafter take such appropriate action (without the need for stockholder action) as may be necessary to reduce the authorized number of shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock accordingly.

Adjustment for Certain Dividends and Distributions. In the event the Corporation at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date shall make or issue, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable on the Common Stock in additional shares of Common Stock, then and in each such event the Conversion Price in effect immediately before such event shall be decreased as of the time of such issuance or, in the event such a record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, by multiplying the Conversion Price then in effect by a fraction:

 

(1)   the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date, and
(2)   the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable in payment of such dividend or distribution.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing (a) if such record date shall have been fixed and such dividend is not fully paid or if such distribution is not fully made on the date fixed therefor, the Conversion Price shall be recomputed accordingly as of the close of business on such record date and thereafter the Conversion Price shall be adjusted pursuant to this subsection as of the time of actual payment of such dividends or distributions; and (b) that no such adjustment shall be made if the holders of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock simultaneously receive a dividend or other distribution of shares of Common Stock in a number equal to the number of shares of Common Stock as they would have received if all outstanding shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock had been converted into Common Stock on the date of such event.

 

Adjustments for Other Dividends and Distributions. In the event the Corporation at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date shall make or issue, or fix a record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable in securities of the Corporation (other than a distribution of shares of Common Stock in respect of outstanding shares of Common Stock) or in other property, then and in each such event the holders of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall receive, simultaneously with the distribution to the holders of Common Stock, a dividend or other distribution of such securities or other property in an amount equal to the amount of such securities or other property as they would have received if all outstanding shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock had been converted into Common Stock on the date of such event.

 

Adjustment for Merger or Reorganization, etc. If there shall occur any reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation or merger involving the Corporation in which the Common Stock (but not the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock) is converted into or exchanged for securities, cash or other property (other than a transaction covered by Subsections 6.5 or 6.6), then, following any such reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation or merger, each share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock shall thereafter be convertible in lieu of the Common Stock into which it was convertible prior to such event into the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property which a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Corporation issuable upon conversion of one share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock immediately prior to such reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation or merger would have been entitled to receive pursuant to such transaction; and, in such case, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Corporation) shall be made in the application of the provisions in this Section with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the holders of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, to the end that the provisions set forth in this Section (including provisions with respect to changes in and other adjustments of the Conversion Price) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as reasonably may be, in relation to any securities or other property thereafter deliverable upon the conversion of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Subsection shall be construed as preventing the holders of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock from seeking any appraisal rights to which they are otherwise entitled under the Nevada Revised Statutes in connection with a merger triggering an adjustment hereunder, nor shall this Subsection be deemed conclusive evidence of the fair value of the shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock in any such appraisal proceeding.

DIVIDEND POLICY

______

 

We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our capital stock. We currently intend to retain any future earnings for use in the operation of our business and do not intend to declare or pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Any further determination to pay dividends on our capital stock will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors, subject to applicable laws, and will depend on our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, general business conditions, and other factors that our Board of Directors considers relevant.

 

SECURITIES OFFERED

______

 

Current Offering

 

Aureus Inc. (“Aureus Inc.,” “We,” or the “Company”) is offering up to $570,000 total of Securities, consisting of Class A Common Stock, $0.001 par value (the “Common Stock” or collectively the “Securities”).

 

The Common Stock

 

We are authorized to issue 500,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $0.001 par value. The holders of Common Stock are entitled to equal dividends and distributions, with respect to the Common Stock when, as, and if declared by the Board of Directors from funds legally available for such dividends. No holder of Common Stock has any preemptive right to subscribe for any of our stock nor are any shares subject to redemption. Upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, and after payment of creditors and senior securities, the assets will be divided pro rata on a share-for-share basis among the holders of the shares of Common Stock. All shares of Common Stock now outstanding upon completion of this Offering are, and will be, fully paid, validly issued and non-assessable.

 

Holders of our Common Stock do not have cumulative voting rights, so that the holders of more than 50% of the shares voting for the election of directors will be able to elect 100% of the directors if they choose to do so. In that event, the holders of the remaining shares will not be able to elect any members to the Board of Directors.

Our transfer agent is Action Stock Transfer Corporation 2469 E. Fort Union Blvd., Suite 214 Salt Lake City, UT 84121.

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

_____

 

Prior to this Offering, there has been a limited market for our Common Stock. Future sales of substantial amounts of our Common Stock, or securities or instruments convertible into our Common Stock, in the public market, or the perception that such sales may occur, could adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock prevailing from time to time. Furthermore, because there will be limits on the number of shares available for resale shortly after this Offering due to contractual and legal restrictions described below, there may be resales of substantial amounts of our Common Stock in the public market after those restrictions lapse. This could adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock prevailing at that time.

 

Rule 144

 

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

 

· 1% of the number of shares of our Common Stock then outstanding; or
· the average weekly trading volume of our Common Stock during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing by such person of a notice on Form 144 with respect to the sale;

 

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

 

LEGAL MATTERS

Certain legal matters with respect to the shares of common stock offered hereby will be passed upon by John E. Lux, Esq. of Washington, D.C.

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

Aureus Incorporated (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on April 19, 2013. The Company was organized to develop and explore mineral properties in the State of Nevada. On October 1, 2014, the Company entered into a Purchase Agreement with Gold Exploration Management Services, Inc. (“Gold Exploration”) pursuant to which the Company purchased 100% of Gold’s Exploration’s interest in one claim block of 11 claims or 220 acres, in Elko County, Nevada (the “Gold Creek Property”) for $15,000. The claims were registered in the name of Gold Exploration. On August 31, 2015, Gold Exploration’s title to the mining claims on the Gold Creek Property expired but has been re-staked by the Company. In September 2015, the Bureau of Land Management (“BLM”) imposed a prohibition on mining activities on 10 million acres of public and National Forest System Lands, including the Gold Creek Property, in order to protect the greater sage-grouse and its habitat from adverse effects of locatable mineral exploration and mining activities, subject to valid existing rights (the “Land Freeze”). Due to the Land Freeze, the Company has not been able to have the title to the Gold Creek Property transferred into the Company’s name or to conduct any activities on the Gold Creek Property.

 

On July 21, 2016, the Company entered into that certain Purchase Agreement (the “MMLH Purchase Agreement”) with Montana Mine Land Holdings LLC, a Montana limited liability company wholly-owned by Tracy Fortner (“MMLH”) pursuant to which the Company acquired a 100% undivided interest on MMLH’s patented mining’s claims and the property located in Broadwater County, Montana (the “Mining Interests”) in consideration for $112,000 payable in 45,000,000 shares of common stock valued at $0.00248889 per share for a total of $112,000 (the “Property Shares”). The Company had not issued the Property Shares due to the fact there was not a sufficient amount of authorized common stock available at the time. The $112,000 debt was included to the existing balance of a non-interest-bearing Loan from Related Party.

 

Pursuant that certain Cancelation of Acquisition and Stock Purchase Agreement, dated November 7, 2017, by and among the Company, MMLH, Tracy Fortner (the “Seller”), and Hohme Holdings International Inc. (the “Buyer”), the Company return the Mining Interests to MMLH, MMLH relinquished its claim to the undelivered Property Shares owed MMLH under the MMLH Purchase Agreement and the Buyer purchased 90,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company from the Seller for $0.0001111 per share, for a total of $10,000. Sadiq Shaikh has voting and dispositive control over the Buyer.

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial information. It is management’s opinion, however that all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) have been made which are necessary for a fair financial statement’s presentation. These financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and are expressed in United States (US) dollars and do not contain certain information included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2018. The accompanying unaudited financial statements of the Company should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and accompanying notes filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2015. Operating results and cash flows for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that can be expected for the entire year.

 

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less from the date of purchase that are readily convertible into cash to be cash equivalents. As of April 30, 2019, and October 31, 2018, there were no cash equivalents.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 those estimates.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company tests its assets for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amount may not be recoverable, which includes comparing the carrying amount of a long-lived asset to the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. An impairment loss would be measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of a long-lived asset exceeds its fair value. For the Company’s mining claims, this test includes examining the discounted and undiscounted cash flows associated with value beyond proven and probable reserves, in determining whether the mining claim is impaired.

 

Start-up Expenses

 

The Company expenses costs associated with start-up activities as incurred. Accordingly, start-up costs associated with the Company’s formation have been included in the Company’s general and administrative expenses.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company utilizes FASB ACS 740, “Income Taxes,” which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

 

 

 

  F-8  

 

 

The accounting guidance for uncertainties in income tax prescribes a comprehensive model for the financial statement recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in income tax returns. The Company recognizes a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position in the financial statements only when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits and a consideration of the relevant taxing authorities widely understood administrative practices and precedents.

 

Interest and penalties on tax deficiencies recognized in accordance with ACS accounting standards are classified as income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740-10-50-19.

 

We have implemented certain provisions of ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”), which clarifies the accounting and disclosure for uncertain tax positions, as defined. ASC 740 seeks to reduce the diversity in practice associated with certain aspects of the recognition and measurement related to accounting for income taxes. We adopted the provisions of ASC 740 and have analyzed filing positions in United States jurisdictions where we are required to file income tax returns, as well as all open tax years in these jurisdictions. We have identified the United States as our “major” tax jurisdiction. Generally, we remain subject to United States examination of our income tax returns.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASC (Accounting Standards Codification) 820-10 (SFAS No. 157), “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” for financial assets and liabilities. ASC 820-10 provides a framework for measuring fair value and requires expanded disclosures regarding fair value measurements.

 

FASB ASC 820-10 defines fair value as the price that would be received for an asset or the exit price that would be paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. FASB ASC 820-10 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs, where available. The following summarizes the three levels of inputs required by the standard that the Company uses to measure fair value:

 

· Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

 

· Level 2: Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices 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 related 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.

 

Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share

 

Net loss per share is calculated in accordance with FASB ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, for the period presented. ASC 260 requires presentation of basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share. Basic income (loss) per share (“Basic EPS”) is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share (“Diluted EPS”) are similarly calculated. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. For the three and six months ended April 30, 2019 and 2018, there were no potentially dilutive securities.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

The Company has reviewed all recently issued, but not yet adopted, accounting standards in order to determine their effects, if any, on its results of operation, financial position or cash flows. Based on that review, the Company believes that none of these pronouncements will have a significant effect on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-12, “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718), Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period.” This ASU provides more explicit guidance for treating share-based payment awards that require a specific performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period as a performance condition. The new guidance is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

 

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern (Topic 205-40),” which requires management to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern for each annual and interim reporting period. If substantial doubt exists, additional disclosure is required. This new standard will be effective for the Company for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted this new standard for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2014. In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-3, “Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30),” related to the presentation of debt issuance costs. This standard will require debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability to be presented on the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the debt liability rather than as an asset. These costs will continue to be amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method. This pronouncement is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015, and retrospective adoption is required. We will adopt this pronouncement for our year beginning January 1, 2016. We do not expect this pronouncement to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

 

NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN

 

The Company has sustained operating losses since inception. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent on its ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations to meet its obligations and/or obtaining additional financing from its shareholders or other sources, as may be required.

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern; however, the above condition raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to do so. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Management is endeavoring to begin exploration activities however, may not be able to do so within the next fiscal year. Management is also seeking to raise additional working capital through various financing sources, including the sale of the Company’s equity securities, which may not be available on commercially reasonable terms, if at all.

 

If such financing is not available on satisfactory terms, we may be unable to continue our business as desired and operating results will be adversely affected. In addition, any financing arrangement may have potentially adverse effects on us or our stockholders. Debt financing (if available and undertaken) will increase expenses, must be repaid regardless of operating results and may involve restrictions limiting our operating flexibility. If we issue equity securities to raise additional funds, the percentage ownership of our existing stockholders will be reduced and the new equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of the holders of our common stock. For the quarters ending April 30, 2019 and January 31, 2018 the Company had losses of $35,436 and $10,433 respectively and the accumulated deficit is $551,859.

NOTE 6 – DEPOSIT ON MINERAL PROPERTY ACQUISITION

 

On October 1, 2014, the Company entered into a Purchase Agreement with Gold Exploration Management Services, Inc. to purchase 11 claims in Mineral County Nevada known as the Gold Creek Property (the “Gold Creek Property”). The Company paid a total of $15,000 for the purchase of the Gold Creek Property, and was reflected in the financial statements as a deposit, until such time as the ownership transferred to the Company. In September 2015, the Bureau of Land Management (“BLM”) imposed a prohibition on mining activities on 10 million acres of public and National Forest System Lands, including the Gold Creek Property, in order to protect the greater sage- grouse and its habitat from adverse effects of locatable mineral exploration and mining activities, subject to valid existing rights (the “Land Freeze”). Due to the Land Freeze, the Company has not been able to have the title to the Gold Creek Property transferred into the Company’s name or to conduct any activities on the Gold Creek Property. On October 31, 2015 the Company recorded an impairment of $15,000 due the Land Freeze.

On December 5, 2017, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of Nevada in order to effectuate a 1-for-8 reverse stock split of its outstanding common stock with fractional shares being rounded up to the nearest whole number. However, on January 12, 2018, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) informed the Company that the Company’s corporate action submission notice with FINRA concerning the reverse split was deemed to be deficient under FINRA Rule 6490(d)(3)(2) due to the fact that the Company had failed to file its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended July 31, 2016 and annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 231, 2016 prior to deregistering the Company’s common stock under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, by filing a Form 15 with the SEC on March 7, 2017. As a result, the reverse split was not implemented in the OTC marketplace.

NOTES TO CONDENSED UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

October 31, 2018

 

 

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

Aureus Incorporated (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on April 19, 2013. The Company was organized to develop and explore mineral properties in the State of Nevada. On October 1, 2014, the Company entered into a Purchase Agreement with Gold Exploration Management Services, Inc. (“Gold Exploration”) pursuant to which the Company purchased 100% of Gold’s Exploration’s interest in one claim block of 11 claims or 220 acres, in Elko County, Nevada (the “Gold Creek Property”) for $15,000. The claims were registered in the name of Gold Exploration. On August 31, 2015, Gold Exploration’s title to the mining claims on the Gold Creek Property expired but has been re-staked by the Company. In September 2015, the Bureau of Land Management (“BLM”) imposed a prohibition on mining activities on 10 million acres of public and National Forest System Lands, including the Gold Creek Property, in order to protect the greater sage-grouse and its habitat from adverse effects of locatable mineral exploration and mining activities, subject to valid existing rights (the “Land Freeze”). Due to the Land Freeze, the Company has not been able to have the title to the Gold Creek Property transferred into the Company’s name or to conduct any activities on the Gold Creek Property. On July 21, 2016, the Company entered into that certain Purchase Agreement (the “MMLH Purchase Agreement”) with Montana Mine Land Holdings LLC, a Montana limited liability company wholly-owned by Tracy Fortner (“MMLH”) pursuant to which the Company acquired a 100% undivided interest on MMLH’s patented mining’s claims and the property located in Broadwater County, Montana (the “Mining Interests”) in consideration for $112,000 payable in 45,000,000 shares of common stock valued at $0.00248889 per share for a total of $112,000 (the “Property Shares”). The Company had not issued the Property Shares due to the fact there was not a sufficient amount of authorized common stock available at the time. The $112,000 debt was included to the existing balance of a non-interest-bearing Loan from Related Party.

 

Pursuant that certain Cancelation of Acquisition and Stock Purchase Agreement, dated November 7, 2017, by and among the Company, MMLH, Tracy Fortner (the “Seller”), and Hohme Holdings International Inc. (the “Buyer”), the Company return the Mining Interests to MMLH, MMLH relinquished its claim to the undelivered Property Shares owed MMLH under the MMLH Purchase Agreement and the Buyer purchased 90,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company from the Seller for $0.0001111 per share, for a total of $10,000. Sadiq Shaikh has voting and dispositive control over the Buyer. Simultaneously with the consummation of the Stock Purchase Agreement, Tracy Fortner resigned as the President and Chief Executive Officer and as a Board member of the Company, Sadiq Shaikh was appointed as the President, Chief Executive Officer and as a member of the Board of Directors of the Company and Deborah Engles was appointed as the Secretary and Treasurer of the Company.

 

On March 7, 2017 the Company filed at Form 15-12g for certification and notice of termination of registration under section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or suspension of duty to file reports under sections 13 and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

 

 

 

  F-20  

 

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for interim financial information. It is management’s opinion, however that all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) have been made which are necessary for a fair financial statement’s presentation. These financial statements and related notes are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and are expressed in United States (US) dollars and do not contain certain information included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2017. The accompanying unaudited financial statements of the Company should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and accompanying notes filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2015. Operating results and cash flows for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that can be expected for the entire year.

 

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less from the date of purchase that are readily convertible into cash to be cash equivalents. As of October 31, 2018, and October 31, 2017, there were no cash equivalents.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles 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 those estimates.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company tests its assets for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amount may not be recoverable, which includes comparing the carrying amount of a long-lived asset to the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. An impairment loss would be measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of a long-lived asset exceeds its fair value. For the Company’s mining claims, this test includes examining the discounted and undiscounted cash flows associated with value beyond proven and probable reserves, in determining whether the mining claim is impaired.

 

Start-up Expenses

 

The Company expenses costs associated with start-up activities as incurred. Accordingly, start-up costs associated with the Company’s formation have been included in the Company’s general and administrative expenses.

 

 

 

  F-21  

 

 

Mining Interests and Exploration Expenditures

 

Exploration costs are expensed in the period in which they occur. The Company capitalizes costs for acquiring and leasing mineral properties and expenses costs to maintain mineral rights as incurred. Should a property reach the production stage, these capitalized costs would be amortized using the units-of-production method on the basis of periodic estimates of ore reserves. Mineral interests are periodically assessed for impairment of value, and any subsequent losses are charged to operations at the time of impairment. If a property is abandoned or sold, its capitalized costs are charged to operations.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company utilizes FASB ACS 740, “Income Taxes,” which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

 

The accounting guidance for uncertainties in income tax prescribes a comprehensive model for the financial statement recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in income tax returns. The Company recognizes a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position in the financial statements only when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits and a consideration of the relevant taxing

authorities widely understood administrative practices and precedents.

 

Interest and penalties on tax deficiencies recognized in accordance with ACS accounting standards are classified as income taxes in accordance with ASC Topic 740-10-50-19.

 

We have implemented certain provisions of ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”), which clarifies the accounting and disclosure for uncertain tax positions, as defined. ASC 740 seeks to reduce the diversity in practice associated with certain aspects of the recognition and measurement related to accounting for income taxes. We adopted the provisions of ASC 740 and have analyzed filing positions in United States jurisdictions where we are required to file income tax returns, as well as all open tax years in these jurisdictions. We have identified the United States as our “major” tax jurisdiction. Generally, we remain subject to United States examination of our income tax returns.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASC (Accounting Standards Codification) 820-10 (SFAS No. 157), “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” for financial assets and liabilities. ASC 820-10 provides a framework for measuring fair value and requires expanded disclosures regarding fair value measurements.

 

 

 

  F-22  

 

 

FASB ASC 820-10 defines fair value as the price that would be received for an asset or the exit price that would be paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. FASB ASC 820-10 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs, where available. The following summarizes the three levels of inputs required by the standard that the Company uses to measure fair value:

 

Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

 

Level 2: Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices 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 related 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.

 

Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share

 

Net loss per share is calculated in accordance with FASB ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, for the period presented. ASC 260 requires presentation of basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share. Basic income (loss) per share (“Basic EPS”) is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share (“Diluted EPS”) are similarly calculated. Dilution is computed by applying the treasury stock method. Under this method, options and warrants are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period (or at the time of issuance, if later), and as if funds obtained thereby were used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. For the three and six months ended October 31, 2017 and 2016, there were no potentially dilutive securities.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

The Company has reviewed all recently issued, but not yet adopted, accounting standards in order to determine their effects, if any, on its results of operation, financial position or cash flows. Based on that review, the Company believes that none of these pronouncements will have a significant effect on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-12, “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718), Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period.” This ASU provides more explicit guidance for treating share-based payment awards that require a specific performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period as a performance condition. The new guidance is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

 

 

 

  F-23  

 

 

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern (Topic 205- 40),” which requires management to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern for each annual and interim reporting period. If substantial doubt exists, additional disclosure is required. This new standard will be effective for the Company for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted this new standard for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2014.

 

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-3, “Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30),” related to the presentation of debt issuance costs. This standard will require debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability to be presented on the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the debt liability rather than as an asset. These costs will continue to be amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method. This pronouncement is effective for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015, and retrospective adoption is required. We will adopt this pronouncement for our year beginning January 1, 2016. We do not expect this pronouncement to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

 

NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN

 

The Company has sustained operating losses since inception. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent on its ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations to meet its obligations and/or obtaining additional financing from its shareholders or other sources, as may be required.

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern; however, the above condition raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to do so. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. For the years ending October 31, 2018 and October 31, 2017 the Company had losses of $74,869 and $206,151 respectively and the accumulated deficit is $502,607.

 

Management is continuing exploration efforts and endeavoring to begin production activities however, may not be able to do so within the next fiscal year. Management is also seeking to raise additional working capital through various financing sources, including the sale of the Company’s equity securities, which may not be available on commercially reasonable terms, if at all.

 

If such financing is not available on satisfactory terms, we may be unable to continue our business as desired and operating results will be adversely affected. In addition, any financing arrangement may have potentially adverse effects on us or our stockholders. Debt financing (if available and undertaken) will increase expenses, must be repaid regardless of operating results and may involve restrictions limiting our operating flexibility. If we issue equity securities to raise additional funds, the percentage ownership of our existing stockholders will be reduced and the new equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of the holders of our common stock.

NOTE 5 – LOAN FROM RELATED PARTY

 

During the period from April 19, 2013 to October 31, 2015, the Company received advances totaling $24,656 from Dong Gu Kang and Min Jung Kang, the Company’s former executive officers and directors (the “Selling Stockholders”). The advance was unsecured, non-interest bearing and due upon demand giving 30 days written notice to the borrower. In connection with the Stock Purchase Agreement, dated September 30, 2015, among the Company, the Selling Stockholders and Maverick, LLC, a Nevis limited liability company (“Maverick”), pursuant to which Maverick purchased 90,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company from the Selling Stockholders, Maverick assumed $24,656 in outstanding debt owed the Selling Stockholders by the Company; constituting 100% of the debt owed the Selling Stockholders of the Company, pursuant to a Debt Assumption Agreement, dated September 30, 2015, between the Company, the Selling Stockholders and Maverick. Maverick beneficially owns 71.7% of the common stock of the Company.

 

On July 21, 2016 the Company entered into an agreement with Montana Mine Land Holdings LLC to acquire a 100% undivided interest of its Patented Mining Claims or the Property named: Keene Placer, M.S. located in Broadwater County, Montana. The terms of this agreement are for the Company to issue 45,000,000 shares of its common stock to Montana Mine Land Holdings LLC. The parties to have agreed the value of this purchase shall be $112,000 or $0.00248889 per share. As of July 31, 2017, the Company has not issued the shares and $112,000 is included to the existing balance of Loan from Related Party.

 

On November 7, 2017, the Company entered into a certain Cancelation of Acquisition and Stock Purchase Agreement with Montana Mine Land Holdings LLC, ("MMLH"), Tracy Fortner (the Seller), Hohme Holdings International Inc. "(Buyer"), to which the Buyer purchased 90,000,000 shares of common stock of the Corporation (the Stock Purchase") from the Seller for $0.0001111 per share, for a total of $10,000.00, Tracy Fortner is the Managing Member of Montana Mine Land Holdings, LLC resulting the debt no longer being considered a loan from a related party.

NOTE 7 – DEPOSIT ON MINERAL PROPERTY ACQUISITION

 

On October 1, 2014, the Company entered into a Purchase Agreement with Gold Exploration Management Services, Inc. to purchase 11 claims in Mineral County Nevada known as the Gold Creek Property (the “Gold Creek Property”). The Company paid a total of $15,000 for the purchase of the Gold Creek Property, and was reflected in the financial statements as a deposit, until such time as the ownership transferred to the Company. In September 2015, the Bureau of Land Management (“BLM”) imposed a prohibition on mining activities on 10 million acres of public and National Forest System Lands, including the Gold Creek Property, in order to protect the greater sage- grouse and its habitat from adverse effects of locatable mineral exploration and mining activities, subject to valid existing rights (the “Land Freeze”). Due to the Land Freeze, the Company has not been able to have the title to the Gold Creek Property transferred into the Company’s name or to conduct any activities on the Gold Creek Property. On October 31, 2015 the Company recorded an impairment of $15,000 due the Land Freeze.

 

On July 21, 2016, the Company entered into that certain Purchase Agreement (the “MMLH Purchase Agreement”) with Montana Mine Land Holdings LLC, a Montana limited liability company wholly-owned by Tracy Fortner (“MMLH”) pursuant to which the Company acquired a 100% undivided interest on MMLH’s patented mining’s claims and the property located in Broadwater County, Montana (the “Mining Interests”) in consideration for $112,000 payable in 45,000,000 shares of common stock valued at $0.00248889 per share for a total of $112,000 (the “Property Shares”). The Company had not issued the Property Shares due to the fact there was not a sufficient amount of authorized common stock available at the time. The $112,000 debt was included to the existing balance of a non-interest-bearing Loan from Related Party.

 

Pursuant that certain Cancelation of Acquisition and Stock Purchase Agreement, dated November 7, 2017, by and among the Company, MMLH, Tracy Fortner (the “Seller”), and Hohme Holdings International Inc. (the “Buyer”), the Company return the Mining Interests to MMLH, MMLH relinquished its claim to the undelivered Property Shares owed MMLH under the MMLH Purchase Agreement and the Buyer purchased 90,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company from the Seller for $0.0001111 per share, for a total of $10,000.

NOTE 8 – COMMON STOCK

 

On November 17, 2015, the Company, authorized a fifteen-for-one (15:1) forward stock split of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share, without changing the authorized number or par value of the Common Stock and with fractional shares resulting from the Forward Split being rounded up to the nearest whole number. The Forward Split became effective on November 25, 2015. As a result of the Forward Split, the number of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock were increased from 8,430,000 to 126,450,000. The amounts are being presented retroactive in the financial statements at October 31, 2015.

 

On December 5, 2017, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of Nevada in order to effectuate a 1-for-8 reverse stock split of its outstanding common stock with fractional shares being rounded up to the nearest whole number. However, on January 12, 2018, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) informed the Company that the Company’s corporate action submission notice with FINRA concerning the reverse split was deemed to be deficient under FINRA Rule 6490(d)(3)(2) due to the fact that the Company had failed to file its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended July 31, 2016 and annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 231, 2016 prior to deregistering the Company’s common stock under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, by filing a Form 15 with the SEC on March 7, 2017. As a result, the reverse split was not implemented in the OTC marketplace.

 

The Company amended the Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation to authorize the issuance of 10 million (10,000,000) shares of "blank check" preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share.

 

NOTE 9 – INCOME TAXES

 

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes, which requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets at currently enacted tax rates for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. A valuation allowance is recognized to reduce the net deferred tax asset to an amount that is more likely than not to be realized.

ASC 740 provides guidance on the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company’s financial statements. ASC 740 requires a company to determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination based upon the technical merits of the position. If the more likely-than-not threshold is met, a company must measure the tax position to determine the amount to recognize in the financial statements. Net deferred tax assets consist of the following components as of October 31, 2018 and 2017:

 

    October 31, 2018     October 31, 2017  
Book Income (loss) from Operations (at 34% Federal Rate)   $ (170,886 )   $ (145,431 )
Change in Derivative Liability            
Change in Valuation Allowance     170,886       145,431  
Total provision for Income Taxes   $     $

Gentlemen:

 

I have acted, at your request, as special counsel to AUREUS, INC., a Nevada corporation, (“AUREUS, INC.”) for the purpose of rendering an opinion as to the legality of 228,000,000 shares of AUREUS, INC. common stock, par value $0.001 per share to be offered and distributed by AUREUS, INC. (the “Shares”), pursuant to an Offering Statement to be filed under Regulation A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, by AUREUS, INC. with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on Form 1-A, for the purpose of registering the offer and sale of the Shares (“Offering Statement”).

 

For the purpose of rendering my opinion herein, I have reviewed statutes of the State of Nevada, to the extent I deem relevant to the matter opined upon herein, certified or purported true copies of the Articles of Incorporation of AUREUS, INC. and all amendments thereto, the By-Laws of AUREUS, INC., selected proceedings of the board of directors of AUREUS, INC. authorizing the issuance of the Shares, certificates of officers of AUREUS, INC. and of public officials, and such other documents of AUREUS, INC. and of public officials as I have deemed necessary and relevant to the matter opined upon herein. I have assumed, with respect to persons other than directors and officers of AUREUS, INC., the due and proper election or appointment of all persons signing and purporting to sign the documents in their respective capacities, as stated therein, the genuineness of all signatures, the conformity to authentic original documents of the copies of all such documents submitted to me as certified, conformed and photocopied, including the quoted, extracted, excerpted and reprocessed text of such documents.

 

Based upon the review described above, it is my opinion that the Shares are duly authorized and when, as and if issued and delivered by AUREUS, INC. against payment therefore, as described in the offering statement, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

 

I have not been engaged to examine, nor have I examined, the Offering Statement for the purpose of determining the accuracy or completeness of the information included therein or the compliance and conformity thereof with the rules and regulations of the SEC or the requirements of Form 1-A, and I express no opinion with respect thereto. My forgoing opinion is strictly limited to matters of Nevada corporation law; and, I do not express an opinion on the federal law of the United States of America or the law of any state or jurisdiction therein other than Nevada, as specified herein.

 

I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as Exhibit 12.1 to the Offering Statement and to the reference to our firm under the caption “Legal Matters” in the Offering Circular constituting a part of the Offering Statement. We assume no obligation to update or supplement any of the opinion set forth herein to reflect any changes of law or fact that may occur following the date hereof.

 

Very truly yours,

 

/s/ John E. Lux
