NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of presentation
The Company’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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. Significant estimates include the estimated useful lives of property and equipment. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Management’s Representation of Interim Financial Statements
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared by the Company without audit pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Company uses the same accounting policies in preparing quarterly and annual financial statements. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) have been or omitted as allowed by such rules and regulations, and management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These financial statements include all of the adjustments, which in the opinion of management are necessary to a fair presentation of financial position and results of operations. All such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.
F-8 |
NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Concentrations of Credit Risk
The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts, the balances of which at times may exceed federally insured limits. The Company continually monitors its banking relationships and consequently have not experienced any losses in its accounts. The Company is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash.
Cash and cash equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid temporary cash investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. On September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company’s cash equivalents totaled $383,595 and $776, respectively.
Accounts Receivable
Revenues that have been recognized but not yet received are recorded as accounts receivable. Losses on receivables will be recognized when it is more likely than not that a receivable will not be collected. An allowance for estimated uncollectible amounts will be recognized to reduce the amount of receivables to its net realizable value when considered necessary. Any allowance for uncollectible amounts is evaluated quarterly.
Fair value of financial instruments
The Company follows paragraph 825-10-50-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for disclosures about fair value of its financial instruments and paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Paragraph 820-10-35-37”) to measure the fair value of its financial instruments. Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three (3) broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The three (3) levels of fair value hierarchy defined by Paragraph 820-10-35-37 are described below:
Level 1: | Quoted market prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. |
Level 2: | Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date. |
Level 3: | Pricing inputs that are generally observable inputs and not corroborated by market data. |
The carrying amount of our financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, prepaid expenses and accrued expenses approximate their fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments. Our notes payable approximates the fair value of such instruments based upon management’s best estimate of interest rates that would be available to us for similar financial arrangements.
The Company does not have any assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring or a non-recurring basis as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Revenue recognition
The Company follows paragraph 605-15-25 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for revenue recognition when the right of return exists. The Company will recognize revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned. The Company considers revenue realized or realizable and earned when all of the following criteria are met: (i) The seller’s price to the buyer is substantially fixed or determinable at the date of sale, (ii) The buyer has paid the seller, or the buyer is obligated to pay the seller and the obligation is not contingent on resale of the product. If the buyer does not pay at time of sale and the buyer’s obligation to pay is contractually or implicitly excused until the buyer resells the product, then this condition is not met., (iii) The buyer’s obligation to the seller would not be changed in the event of theft or physical destruction or damage of the product, (iv) The buyer acquiring the product for resale has economic substance apart from that provided by the seller. This condition relates primarily to buyers that exist on paper, that is, buyers that have little or no physical facilities or employees. It prevents entities from recognizing sales revenue on transactions with parties that the sellers have established primarily for the purpose of recognizing such sales revenue, (v) The seller does not have significant obligations for future performance to directly bring about resale of the product by the buyer, and (vi) The amount of future returns can be reasonably estimated.
Income taxes
The Company follows Section 740-10-30 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, which requires 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 based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the fiscal year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent management concludes it is more likely than not that the assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the fiscal years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the Statements of Income in the period that includes the enactment date.
On December 22, 2018, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) was signed into law by the President of the United States. TCJA is a tax reform act that among other things, reduced corporate tax rates to 21 percent effective January 1, 2018. FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes, requires deferred tax assets and liabilities to be adjusted for the effect of a change in tax laws or rates in the year of enactment, which is the year in which the change was signed into law. Accordingly, we adjusted its deferred tax assets and liabilities at March 31, 2020, using the new corporate tax rate of 21 percent.
The Company adopted section 740-10-25 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Section 740-10-25”) with regards to uncertainty income taxes. Section 740-10-25 addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under Section 740-10-25, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent (50%) likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Section 740-10-25 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures. The Company had no material adjustments to its liabilities for unrecognized income tax benefits according to the provisions of Section 740-10-25.
Stock-based Compensation
The Company accounts for equity-based transactions with nonemployees under the provisions of ASC Topic No. 505-50, Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees (“ASC 505-50”). ASC 505-50 establishes that equity-based payment transactions with nonemployees shall be measured at the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The fair value of common stock issued for payments to nonemployees is measured at the market price on the date of grant. The fair value of equity instruments, other than common stock, is estimated using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. In general, the Company recognizes the fair value of the equity instruments issued as deferred stock compensation and amortize the cost over the term of the contract.
The Company accounts for employee stock-based compensation in accordance with the guidance of FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, which requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values. The fair value of the equity instrument is charged directly to compensation expense and credited to additional paid-in capital over the period during which services are rendered.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Net income (loss) per common share is computed pursuant to section 260-10-45 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially outstanding shares of common stock during the period.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements
The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect and that may impact its financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN
The Company’s financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that it will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. As of September 30, 2022 the Company had $383,595 of cash on hand and an accumulated deficit of $33,024,185. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its generating profitable operations in the future and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet obligations and repay liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. The Company’s management intends to finance operating costs over the next year with the public issuance of common stock and related party loans. While the Company believes that it will be successful in obtaining the necessary financing and generating revenue to fund its operations, meet regulatory requirements and achieve commercial goals, there are no assurances that such additional funding will be achieved or that it will succeed in its future operations. The Company’s financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
NOTE 4 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Risk Factors
Risks Related to Our Business
Our independent registered public accounting firm has issued a going concern opinion; there is substantial uncertainty that we will continue operations in which case you could lose your investment.
Our financial statements dated September 30, 2022, have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes that we will be able to realize our assets and discharge our liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. We had an accumulated deficit of $32,902,485 at September 30, 2022, had a net profit of $618,427 and $380,270 in cash provided from operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our generating profitable operations in the future and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet our obligations and repay our liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. Our management intends to finance operating costs over the next twelve months with existing cash on hand and public issuance of common stock. Although we may be successful in obtaining financing and/or generating revenue to fund our operations, meet regulatory requirements and achieve commercial goals, there are no assurances that such funding will be achieved at a sufficient level or that we will succeed in our future operations.
If our Social Networking Platform technology becomes obsolete, our ability to license our Platform and generate revenue from it will be negatively impacted.
If our Platform technology becomes obsolete, our results of operations will be adversely affected. The market in which we compete is characterized by rapid technological change, evolving industry standards, introductions of new products, and changes in customer demands that can render existing products obsolete and unmarketable. Our Platform will require continuous upgrading, or our technology will become obsolete, and our business operations will be curtailed or terminate.
Litigation may adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations
From time to time in the normal course of its business operations, we may become subject to litigation that may result in liability material to our financial statements as a whole or may negatively affect our s operating results if changes to our business operations are required. The cost to defend such litigation may be significant and may require a diversion of resources away from our core operations. There also may be adverse publicity associated with litigation that could negatively affect customer perception of our business, regardless of whether the allegations are valid or whether we are ultimately found liable. Insurance may be unavailable at all or in sufficient amounts to cover any liabilities with respect to these or other matters. A judgment or other liability in excess of the insurance coverage for any claims could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
If we fail to develop or acquire technologies that adequately serve changing consumer behaviors and support our evolving business needs, our business, financial condition and prospects may be adversely affected.
In order to respond to changing consumer behaviors, we need to invest in new technologies and platforms to deliver content and provide products and services where consumers demand it. If we fail to develop or acquire the necessary consumer-facing technologies or if the technologies we develop or acquire are not received favorably by consumers, our business, financial condition and prospects may be adversely affected. In addition, as our business evolves and we develop new revenue streams, we must develop or invest in new technology and infrastructure that satisfy the needs of the changing business; if we fail to do so, our business, financial condition and prospects may suffer. Further, if we fail to update our current technology and infrastructure to minimize the potential for business disruption, our business, financial condition and prospects may be adversely affected.

New social network, online marketplace or application platform features or changes to existing features could fail to attract new users, retain existing users or generate revenue.
Our business strategy is dependent on our ability on behalf of our licensees to develop and maintain networks, online marketplaces, and application platforms and features to attract new users and retain existing ones. Any of the following events may cause decreased use of our properties:
● | Emergence of competing websites and applications; | |
● | Inability to convince potential users to join our network or that of our licensees; | |
● | Technical issues related to mobile and desk top compatibility; and | |
● | Rise in safety or privacy concerns. |
Should any of the above factors or a combination thereof have a material effect on our business, our revenues and results of operations will be negatively affected.
Our future success will depend on our key executive officers and our ability to attract, retain, and motivate qualified personnel.
We are highly dependent on our management team consisting of Kenneth Tapp, our Chief Executive Officer/Chief Technology Officer. Our future success largely depends upon the continued services of our executive officers and management team. If one or more of our executive officers are unable or unwilling to continue in their present positions, we may be unable to replace them readily, if at all. Additionally, we may incur additional expenses to recruit and retain new executive officers. If any of our executive officers joins a competitor or forms a competing company, we may lose some of our customers and potential customers. Finally, we do not maintain “key person” life insurance on any of our executive officers. Because of these factors, the loss of the services of any of these key persons could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
Our continuing ability to attract and retain highly qualified personnel will also be critical to our success because we will need to hire and retain additional personnel as its business grows. There can be no assurance that we will be able to attract or retain highly qualified personnel. We face significant competition for skilled personnel in our industries. This competition may make it more difficult and expensive to attract, hire, and retain qualified managers and employees. Because of these factors, we may be unable to effectively manage or grow our business, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition and as a result, the value of your investment could be significantly reduced or completely lost.
Should we lose our licensing revenues during any given period that have historically represented the majority of our revenues, our financial condition will be negatively affected.
We have generated a majority of our revenue for the 9 months ended 2022 from licensing revenue. The loss of the majority of our licensing revenues or any other revenue categories in future periods will negatively and materially affect our results of operations.
We expect to incur substantial expenses to meet our reporting obligations as a public company.
We estimate that it will cost approximately $100,000 annually to maintain the proper management and financial controls for our filings required as a public reporting company, funds that would otherwise be spent for our business operations. Our public reporting costs may increase over time, which will increase our expenses and may decrease our potential profitability.
We will need substantial additional funding to continue our operations, which could result in dilution to our stockholders; we may be unable to raise capital when needed, if at all, which could cause us to have insufficient funds to pursue our operations, or to delay, reduce or eliminate our development of new programs or commercialization efforts.
We expect to incur additional costs associated with operating as a public company and to require substantial additional funding to continue to pursue our business and continue with our expansion plans. We may also encounter unforeseen expenses, difficulties, complications, delays and other unknown factors that may increase our capital needs and/or cause us to spend our cash resources faster than we expect. Accordingly, we expect that we will need to obtain substantial additional funding in order to continue our operations. To date, we have financed our operations entirely through equity investments by founders and other investors and the incurrence of debt, and we expect to continue to do so in the foreseeable future. Additional funding from those or other sources may not be available when or in the amounts needed, on acceptable terms, or at all. If we raise capital through the sale of equity, or securities convertible into equity, it will result in dilution to our existing stockholders, which could be significant depending on the price at which we may be able to sell our securities. If we raise additional capital through the incurrence of additional indebtedness, we will likely become subject to further covenants restricting our business activities, and holders of debt instruments may have rights and privileges senior to those of our equity investors. In addition, servicing the interest and principal repayment obligations under debt facilities could divert funds that would otherwise be available to support development of new programs and marketing to current and potential new clients. If we are unable to raise capital when needed or on attractive terms, we could be forced to delay, reduce or eliminate development of new programs or future marketing efforts. Any of these events could significantly harm our business, financial condition and prospects.

We do not have an independent board of directors which could create a conflict of interests and pose a risk from a corporate governance perspective.
Our Board of Directors consists mostly of current executive officers and consultants, which means that we do not have any outside or independent directors. The lack of independent directors:
● | May prevent the Board from being independent from management in its judgments and decisions and its ability to pursue the Board responsibilities without undue influence. | |
● | May present us from providing a check on management, which can limit management taking unnecessary risks. | |
● | Create potential for conflicts between management and the diligent independent decision-making process of the Board. | |
● | Present the risk that our executive officers on the Board may have influence over their personal compensation and benefits levels that may not be commensurate with our financial performance. | |
● | Deprive us of the benefits of various viewpoints and experience when confronting challenges that we face. |
Because officers serve on our Board of Directors, it will be difficult for the Board to fulfill its traditional role as overseeing management.
Because we do not have a nominating, audit or compensation committee, shareholders will have to rely on the entire board of directors, no members of which are independent, to perform these functions.
We do not have a nominating, audit or compensation committee or any such committee comprised of independent directors. The board of directors performs these functions. No members of the board of directors are independent directors. Thus, there is a potential conflict in that board members who are also part of management will participate in discussions concerning management compensation and audit issues that may affect management decisions.
We may have difficulty obtaining officer and director coverage or obtaining such coverage on favorable terms or financially be unable to obtain any such coverage, which may make it difficult for our attracting and retaining qualified members of our board of directors, particularly to serve on our audit committee and compensation committee, and qualified executive officers.
We also expect that being a public company and these new rules and regulations will make it more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance, and we may be required to accept reduced coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain coverage or financially be unable to obtain such coverage. These factors could also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified members of our board of directors, particularly to serve on our audit committee and compensation committee, and qualified executive officers.
Security breaches and other disruptions could compromise the information that we maintain and expose us to liability, which would cause our business and reputation to suffer.
In the ordinary course of our business, we may collect and store sensitive data, including intellectual property, our proprietary business information and that of our customers and business partners, and personally identifiable information of our customers, in our data centers and on its networks. The secure processing, maintenance and transmission of this information is critical to our business strategy, information technology and infrastructure and we may be vulnerable to attacks by hackers or breached due to employee error, malfeasance or other disruptions. Any such breach could compromise our network, services and the information stored there could be accessed, publicly disclosed, lost or stolen. Any such access, disclosure or other loss of information could result in legal claims or proceedings, liability under laws that protect the privacy of personal information, regulatory penalties, and disruption to our operations and the services it provides to customers. This often times results in a loss of confidence in our products and services, which could adversely affect our ability to earn revenues and competitive position and could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

The products and services that we develop will result in increased costs.
We expect that our development costs to increase in future periods as we expand into new areas, and such increased costs could negatively affect our future operating results. We expect to continue to expend substantial financial and other resources on our current business operations and the creation of organized virtual -events and digital marketing and advertising initiatives. Furthermore, we intend to invest in marketing, licensing and product development programs, as well as associated sales and marketing programs, and general administration. These investments may not result in increased revenue or growth in the business. Our failure to materially increase our revenues could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
Our inability to effectively control costs and still maintain our business relationships, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
It is critical that we appropriately align our cost structure with prevailing market conditions to minimize the effect of economic downturns our its operations and, in particular, to build and maintain our user relationships. Our inability to align our cost structure in response to economic downturns on a timely basis could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition. Conversely, adjusting the cost structure to fit economic downturn conditions may have negative effects during an economic upturn or periods of increasing demand for services/products. If we too aggressively reduce our costs, we may not have sufficient resources to capture opportunities for expansion and growth and meet customer demand. Our inability to effectively manage resources and capacity to capitalize on periods of economic upturn could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
If we are unable to accurately predict and respond to market developments or demands, its business, results of operations and financial condition will be adversely affected.
The cannabis industry is characterized by rapidly evolving technology, government regulations and methodologies, which makes it difficult to predict demand and market acceptance for our services/products. In order to succeed, we need to adapt the products we offer in order to keep up with technological developments and changes in consumer needs. We cannot guarantee that we will succeed in enhancing our services/products or developing or acquiring new services/products or features that adequately address changing technologies, user requirements and market preferences. We also cannot assure you that the products and services we offer will be accepted by end users. If the products and services that we offer are not accepted by customers, they will no longer purchase them, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition. Changes in technologies, industry standards, the regulatory environment and customer requirements, and new product introductions by existing or future competitors, could render our existing services/products obsolete and unmarketable, or require us to enhance current products/services or develop new products and services. This may require us to expend significant amounts of money, time, and other resources to meet these demands, which could strain its personnel and financial resources. Furthermore, many modernization projects deal with customer mission critical applications, and therefore encapsulate risk for the customer.
We may be unable to identify, purchase or integrate desirable acquisition targets, future acquisitions may be unsuccessful, and we may not realize the anticipated cost savings, revenue enhancements or other synergies from such acquisitions.
We plan to investigate and acquire strategic businesses with the potential to be accretive to earnings, increase our market penetration, brand strength and its market position or enhancement of our existing product and service offerings. There can be no assurance that we will identify or successfully complete transactions with suitable acquisition candidates in the future. Additionally, if we were to undertake a substantial acquisition, the acquisition may need to be financed in part through additional financing through public offerings or private placements of debt or equity securities or through other arrangements. There is no assurance that the necessary acquisition financing will be available to us on acceptable terms if and when required. Acquisitions could also result in dilutive issuances of equity securities or the incurrence of debt, which could adversely affect our operating results. We may also unknowingly inherit liabilities from acquired businesses or assets that arise after the acquisition and that are not adequately covered by indemnities. In addition, if an acquired business fails to meet our expectations, its operating results, business and financial position may suffer.
If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal controls, we may be unable to accurately report our financial results or prevent fraud; as a result, current and potential stockholders could lose confidence in our financial reporting, which would harm our business and the trading price of our stock.
Effective internal controls are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and effectively prevent fraud. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, our brand and operating results will likely be harmed. We may in the future discover areas of our internal controls that need improvement. We cannot be certain that any measures we implement will ensure that we achieve and maintain adequate controls over our financial processes and reporting in the future. Any failure to implement required new or improved controls, or difficulties encountered in their implementation, could harm our operating results or cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations. Inferior internal controls could also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information and materially harm our business, which would have a negative effect on our operations.

We may be unable to effectively manage our growth or improve our operational, financial, and management information systems, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
In the near term and contingent upon raising adequate funds from this Offering, we intend to expand our operations significantly to foster growth. Growth may place a significant strain on our business and administrative operations, finances, management and other resources, as follows:
● | The need for continued development of financial and information management systems; | |
● | The need to manage strategic relationships and agreements with manufacturers, customers and partners; and | |
● | Difficulties in hiring and retaining skilled management, technical, and other personnel necessary to support and manage the business. |
Should we fail to successfully manage growth could, our results of operations will be negatively affected.
If we fail to protect or develop our intellectual property, business, operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.
Any infringement or misappropriation of our intellectual property could damage its value and limit its ability to compete. We may have to engage in litigation to protect the rights to our intellectual property, which could result in significant litigation costs and require a significant amount of management time and attention. In addition, our ability to enforce and protect our intellectual property rights may be limited in certain countries outside the United States, which could make it easier for competitors to capture market position in such countries by utilizing technologies that are similar to those that we develop.
We may also find it necessary to bring infringement or other actions against third parties to seek to protect its intellectual property rights. Litigation of this nature, even if successful, is often expensive and time-consuming to prosecute and there can be no assurance that we will have the financial or other resources to enforce its rights or prevent other parties from developing similar technology or designing around our intellectual property.
Our trade secrets may be difficult to protect.
Our success depends upon the skills, knowledge, and experience of our technical personnel, consultants and advisors. Because we operate in several highly competitive industries, we rely in part on trade secrets to protect our proprietary technology and processes. However, trade secrets are difficult to protect. We enter into confidentiality or non-disclosure agreements with our corporate partners, employees, consultants, outside scientific collaborators, developers, and other advisors. These agreements generally require that the receiving party keep confidential and not disclose to third party’s confidential information developed by the receiving party or made known to the receiving party by us during the course of the receiving party’s relationship with us. These agreements also generally provide those inventions conceived by the receiving party in the course of rendering services to us will be our exclusive property.
These confidentiality, inventions and assignment agreements may be breached and may not effectively assign intellectual property rights to us. Our trade secrets also could be independently discovered by competitors, in which case will be unable to prevent the use of such trade secrets by our competitors. The enforcement of a claim alleging that a party illegally obtained and was using our trade secrets could be difficult, expensive and time consuming and the outcome would be unpredictable. In addition, courts outside the United States may be less willing to protect trade secrets. The failure to obtain or maintain meaningful trade secret protection could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
The consideration being paid to our management is not based on arms-length negotiation.
The compensation and other consideration we have paid or will be paid to our management has not been determined based on arm’s length negotiations. While management believes that the consideration is fair for the work being performed, we cannot assure that the consideration to management reflects the true market value of its services.

We are subject to data privacy and security risks
Our business activities are subject to laws and regulations governing the collection, use, sharing, protection and retention of personal data, which continue to evolve and have implications for how such data is managed. In addition, the Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”) continues to expand its application of general consumer protection laws to commercial data practices, including to the use of personal and profiling data from online users to deliver targeted Internet advertisements. Most states have also enacted legislation regulating data privacy and security, including laws requiring businesses to provide notice to state agencies and to individuals whose personally identifiable information has been disclosed as a result of a data breach.
Similar laws and regulations have been implemented in many of the other jurisdictions in which we operate, including the European Union. Recently, the European Union adopted the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), which is intended to provide a uniform set of rules for personal data processing throughout the European Union and to replace the existing Data Protection Directive (Directive 95/46/EC). Fully enforceable as of May 25, 2018, the GDPR expands the regulation of the collection, processing, use and security of personal data, contains stringent conditions for consent from data subjects, strengthens the rights of individuals, including the right to have personal data deleted upon request, continues to restrict the trans-border flow of such data, requires mandatory data breach reporting and notification, increases penalties for non-compliance and increases the enforcement powers of the data protection authorities. In response to such developments, industry participants in the U.S., and Europe have taken steps to increase compliance with relevant industry-level standards and practices, including the implementation of self-regulatory regimes for online behavioral advertising that impose obligations on participating companies, such as us, to give consumers a better understanding of advertisements that are customized based on their online behavior. We continue to monitor pending legislation and regulatory initiatives to ascertain relevance, analyze impact and develop strategic direction surrounding regulatory trends and developments, including any changes required in our data privacy and security compliance programs.
COVID-19 RELATED RISKS
The outbreak of the coronavirus may negatively impact our business, results of operations and financial condition.
In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China, which has and is continuing to spread throughout China and other parts of the world, including the United States. On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) a “Public Health Emergency of International Concern.” On January 31, 2020, U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Alex M. Azar II declared a public health emergency for the United States to aid the U.S. healthcare community in responding to COVID-19, and on March 11, 2020 the World Health Organization characterized the outbreak as a “pandemic”. The significant outbreak of COVID-19 has resulted in a widespread health crisis that could adversely affect the economies and financial markets worldwide, and could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
The outbreak of the COVID-19 may adversely affect our customers or subscribers and have an adverse effect on our results of operations.
Further, the risks described above could also adversely affect our potential licensee’s financial condition, resulting in reduced spending by our licensee to pay us our license fees. Risks related to an epidemic, pandemic, or other health crisis, such as COVID-19, could negatively impact the results of operations of one or more of our l licensees or potential licensee operations. The ultimate extent of the impact of any epidemic, pandemic or other health crisis on our licensees and our business, financial condition and results of operations will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information that may emerge concerning the severity of such epidemic, pandemic or other health crisis and actions taken to contain or prevent their further spread, among others. These and other potential impacts of an epidemic, pandemic, or other health crisis, such as COVID-19, could therefore materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Certain historical data regarding our business, results of operations, financial condition and liquidity does not reflect the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and related containment measures and therefore does not purport to be representative of our future performance
The information included in this Annual report on Form 10-K and our other reports filed with the SEC includes information regarding our business, results of operations, financial condition and liquidity as of dates and for periods before and during the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and related containment measures (including quarantines and governmental orders requiring the closure of certain businesses, limiting travel, requiring that individuals stay at home or shelter in place and closing borders). Therefore, certain historical information therefore does not reflect the adverse impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and the related containment measures. Accordingly, investors are cautioned not to unduly rely on such historical information regarding our business, results of operations, financial condition or liquidity, as that data does not reflect the adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and therefore does not purport to be representative of the future results of operations, financial condition, liquidity or other financial or operating results of us, or our business.

During 2021 and 2020, we experienced material decreases in our revenues due to Covid-19; should material decreases occur in subsequent periods, our results of operations will be negatively impacted.
During 2021 and 2020, we experienced material decreases in our revenues and results of operations due to Covid-19 when comparing our 2019 results to our 2020 and 2021 financial results. Should this downward Covid-19 related trend continue, our revenues and results of operations will continue to be materially and negatively impacted.
THE OUTBREAK OF COVID-19 HAS RESULTED IN A WIDESPREAD HEALTH CRISIS THAT COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT THE ECONOMIES AND FINANCIAL MARKETS WORLDWIDE AND COULD EXPONENTIALLY INCREASE THE RISK FACTORS DESCRIBED ABOVE AND BELOW.
RISKS RELATED TO OUR SECURITIES
An investment in our shares is highly speculative.
The shares of our common stock are highly speculative in nature, involve a high degree of risk and should be purchased only by persons who can afford to lose the entire amount invested in the common stock. Before purchasing any of the shares of common stock, you should carefully consider the risk factors contained herein relating to our business and prospects. If any of the risks presented herein actually occur, our business, financial condition or operating results could be materially adversely affected. In such case, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.
The market price of our Common Stock may fluctuate significantly in the future.
We expect that the market price of our Common Stock may fluctuate in response to one or more of the following factors, many of which are beyond our control:
● | competitive pricing pressures; | |
● | our ability to market our services on a cost-effective and timely basis; | |
● | changing conditions in the market; | |
● | changes in market valuations of similar companies; | |
● | stock market price and volume fluctuations generally; | |
● | regulatory developments; | |
● | fluctuations in our quarterly or annual operating results; | |
● | additions or departures of key personnel; and | |
● | future sales of our Common Stock or other securities. |
The price at which you purchase shares of our Common Stock may not be indicative of the price that will prevail in the trading market. Shareholders may experience wide fluctuations in the market price of our securities. These fluctuations may have a negative effect on the market price of our securities and may prevent a shareholder from obtaining a market price equal to the purchase price such shareholder paid when the shareholder attempts to sell our securities in the open market. In these situations, the shareholder may be required either to sell our securities at a market price, which is lower than the purchase price the shareholder paid, or to hold our securities for a longer period than planned. An inactive or low trading market may also impair our ability to raise capital by selling shares of capital stock. You may be unable to sell your shares of Common Stock at or above your purchase price, which may result in substantial losses to you and which may include the complete loss of your investment. Any of the risks described above could adversely affect our sales and profitability and the price of our Common Stock.

We have authorized 300,000,000 Preferred Shares and 400,000,000 Class B Common Shares that may result in our officers having the ability to influence stockholder decisions.
The board of directors has the power to establish the dividend rates, liquidation preferences, and voting rights of any series of preferred stock, and these rights may be superior to the rights of holders of the Shares. The board of directors may also establish redemption and conversion terms and privileges with respect to any shares of preferred stock; as such, if we establish such terms and privileges to our preferred shares and we sell or issue preferred shares in future transactions to new investors such investors in subsequent transactions could gain rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of holders of our common stock. Any such preferences may operate to the detriment of the rights of the holders of the Shares, and further, could be used by the board of directors as a device to prevent a change in control of the Registrant, include additional voting power to our officers giving them control over a majority of our outstanding voting power, enabling them to control future stock-based acquisition transactions, to fund employee equity incentive programs, and give them the ability to elect certain directors and to determine the outcome of all matters submitted to a vote of our stockholders. This concentrated control eliminates other stockholders’ ability to influence corporate matters
We expect to seek additional financing in order to provide working capital to our business. Our board of directors has the power to issue any or all of such authorized but unissued shares at any price they consider sufficient, without stockholder approval. The issuance of additional shares of common stock in the future will reduce the proportionate ownership and voting power of current stockholders.
Any market that develops in shares of our common stock will be subject to the penny stock regulations and restrictions pertaining to low priced stocks that will create a lack of liquidity and make trading difficult or impossible.
The trading of our securities will be in the over-the-counter market, which is commonly referred to as the OTC Markets as maintained by FINRA. As a result, an investor may find it difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations as to the price of our securities.
Rule 3a51-1 of the Exchange Act establishes the definition of a “penny stock,” for purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a minimum bid price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to a limited number of exceptions that are not available to us. It is likely that our shares will be penny stocks for the immediately foreseeable future. This classification severely and adversely affects any market liquidity for our common stock.
For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the penny stock 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 and objectives of the person and make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and that that 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 prepared 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. |
Disclosure also must be made about the risks of investing in penny stock in both public offerings and in secondary trading and 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. Additionally, monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.
Because of these regulations, broker-dealers may not wish to engage in the above-referenced necessary paperwork and disclosures and/or may encounter difficulties in their attempt to sell shares of our common stock, which may affect the ability of selling shareholders or other holders to sell their shares in any secondary market and have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in any secondary market. These additional sales practice and disclosure requirements could impede the sale of our securities when our securities become publicly traded. In addition, the liquidity for our securities may decrease, with a corresponding decrease in the price of our securities. Our shares, probably, will be subject to such penny stock rules for the foreseeable future and our shareholders will, likely, find it difficult to sell their securities.

If we are unable to establish appropriate internal financial reporting controls and procedures, it could cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations, result in the restatement of our financial statements, harm our operating results, subject us to regulatory scrutiny and sanction, cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information and have a negative effect on the market price for shares of our common stock.
Effective internal controls are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and to effectively prevent fraud. We maintain a system of internal control over financial reporting, which is defined as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by our board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
The forward-looking statements contained herein report may prove incorrect.
This filing contains certain forward-looking statements, including among others: (i) anticipated trends in our financial condition and results of operations; (ii) our business strategy for expanding our business through regional centers; and (iii) our ability to distinguish ourselves from our current and future competitors. These forward-looking statements are based largely on our current expectations and are subject risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from these forward-looking statements. In addition to the other risks described elsewhere in this “Risk Factors” discussion, important factors to consider in evaluating such forward-looking statements include: (i) changes to external competitive market factors or in our internal budgeting process which might impact trends in our results of operations; (ii) anticipated working capital or other cash requirements; (iii) changes in our business strategy or an inability to execute our strategy due to unanticipated changes in the environmental cleanup industry; and (iv) various competitive factors that may prevent us from competing successfully in the marketplace. Considering these risks and uncertainties, many of which are described in greater detail elsewhere in this “Risk Factors” discussion, there can be no assurance that the events predicted in forward-looking statements contained in this Prospectus will, in fact, transpire.
Cautionary Note
We have sought to identify what we believe to be the most significant risks to our business, but we cannot predict whether, or to what extent, any of such risks may be realized nor can we guarantee that we have identified all possible risks that might arise. Investors should carefully consider all of such risk factors before making an investment decision with respect to our common stock.

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This document contains “forward-looking statements”. All statements other than statements of historical fact are “forward-looking statements” for purposes of federal and state securities laws, including, but not limited to, any projections of earnings, revenue or other financial items; any statements of the plans, strategies and objections of management for future operations; any statements concerning proposed new services or developments; any statements regarding future economic conditions or performance; any statements or belief; and any statements of assumptions underlying any of the foregoing.
Forward-looking statements may include the words “may,” “could,” “estimate,” “intend,” “continue,” “believe,” “expect” or “anticipate” or other similar words. These forward-looking statements present our estimates and assumptions only as of the date of this report. Except for our ongoing securities laws, we do not intend, and undertake no obligation, to update any forward-looking statement.
Although we believe that the expectations reflected in any of our forward- looking statements are reasonable, actual results could differ materially from those projected or assumed in any or our forward-looking statements. Our future financial condition and results of operations, as well as any forward-looking statements, are subject to change and inherent risks and uncertainties.
Overview
We are a Nevada corporation formed on August 30, 1985. Our headquarters are in Englewood, Colorado. We have been engaged in our current business model since June of 2016, as a result of our having been discharged from a receivership and acquiring Life Marketing, Inc., which was in a different industry as our previous business.
We have experienced recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception, including in our current business model. We anticipate that our expenses will increase as we ramp up our expansion, which likely will lead to additional losses, until such time that we approach profitability, or which there are no assurances. We have relied on equity and debt financing to fund operations to-date. There can be no guarantee that we will ever become profitable, or that adequate additional financing will be realized in the future or otherwise may be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all. If we are unable to raise capital when needed, we would be forced to delay, reduce or eliminate our expansion efforts. We will need to generate significant revenues to achieve profitability, of which there are no assurances.
Trends and Uncertainties
Our business is subject to the trends and uncertainties associated with expansion of niche industry social networks and ecommerce solutions are increasing in popularity and availability. At some point, industry saturation of technology solutions that we provide to, and support for TBI participant tech startup companies will make it more difficult for our business model to expand. This will force us to innovate new technology solutions, which will undoubtedly cost more money to fund.
Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that we will be able to realize our assets and discharge our liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. We had an accumulated deficit of $33,024,185 at September 30, 2022, had a net profit of $496,727 and generated $380,270 in cash from operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our generating profitable operations in the future and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet our obligations and repay our liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. Our management intends to finance operating costs over the next twelve months with existing cash on hand. While we believe that we will be successful generating revenue to fund our operations, meet regulatory requirements and achieve commercial goals, there are no assurances that we will succeed in our future operations.
We will attempt to overcome the going concern opinion by increasing our revenues, as follows:
● | By increasing our TBI licensing to additional tech company startups; |
The foregoing goals will increase expenses and lead to possible net losses. There is no assurance that we will ever be profitable. The consolidated 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 we be unable to continue as a going concern. There is no assurance we will be successful in any of these goals.

COMPARATIVE RESULTS FOR FISCAL YEARS
Consolidated Performance - Results of Operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021
Revenues
For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022, we recognized $651,638 in revenues, compared to $237,389 in revenue from licensing during the nine month period ended September 30, 2021. The $414,249 increase in revenue is primarily attributable to the sale of seven new digital asset platforms, the addition of one new TBI client licensee, and revenue share from the existing TBI licensees, resulting in additional combined revenue of $450,513 for the nine month period ending September 30, 2022.
Cost of Revenue
Cost of revenue was zero for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022 and $22,238 for the nine-month 2021 period ended September 30, 2021.
Operating Expenses
For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022, we recorded $181,902 in operating expenses compared to $458,914 in operating expenses for the nine month period ended September 30, 2021, a material decrease of $277,012. The decrease is attributable to a reduction in 2022 in all expense categories including a reduction of $52,681 in compensation expense, a reduction of $8,353 in sales and marketing expense, and a reduction of $215,978 in general and administrative expense.
13 |
Other income
During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, we generated $41,411 of other income and ($1,707,087) of other expense, respectively. The key contributing factor in the 2022 period being the $41,111 PPP and EIDL loan forgiveness, and other expense of $14,420. The loss in the 2021 period is attributable to the loss of $1,551,768 on the extinguishment of debt, and other expense of $155,319
Net Proft (Loss)
As a result of the foregoing we generated a profit from continuing operation $496,727 in net income during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to a loss of $1,950,850 during the nine months ended September 30, 2021.
For the nine month period ended September 30, 2022 we had $-0- in net loss from discontinued operations compared to $27,700 during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was $380,270 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $158,432 in net cash used during the period ended September 30, 2021. The material increase in net cash provided during the 2022 period is primarily attributable to an improvement in profitability during the 2022 period.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $2,548 during the nine month period ended September 30, 2022 compared to $161,950 during the nine month period ended September 30, 2021. The reduction in cash provided by financing activities is attributable to the Company raising $100,000 from the sale of common stock in the 2021 period compared to zero in the 2022 period and the Company’s CEO advancing $61,950, net, in related party loans in the 2021 period, compared to $2,548 during the 2022 period.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
None.
ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Not applicable
ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer/Chief Accounting Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
As required by SEC Rule 15d-15(b), we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in providing reasonable assurance in the reliability of our report as of September 30, 2022.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well-conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. The design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdown can occur because of simple error or mistake. In particular, many of our current processes rely upon manual reviews and processes to ensure that neither human error nor system weakness has resulted in erroneous reporting of financial data.
During the three months ended September 30, 2022 we have implemented new procedures to improve our internal control procedures. The new procedures include an extensive review process of our financials statements by our CEO, and CFO consultant who has extensive public company experience. As a result our internal controls over financial reporting was effective as of September 30, 2022.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings.
Peak One Opportunity Fund, L.P.
On April 9, 2021, we commenced legal action in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida against Peak One Opportunity Fund, L.P. (“Peak One”) and Jason Goldstein (“Goldstein”), alleging, among other things, that Peak One is acting as an unregistered dealer in violation of Section 15(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Act”) and, therefore, certain debentures and warrants entered into by and between the Company and Peak One should be declared void ab initio and, further, that Peak One is liable for recessionary damages to us pursuant to Section 29(b) of the Act.
On June 11, 2021, Peak One and Goldstein filed a motion to dismiss our complaint, which the Court subsequently granted on June 28, 2021, on procedural grounds, and without prejudice, and closing the action for administrative purposes.
On July 2, 2021, we filed an amended complaint against Peak One, Goldstein, Peak One Investments, LLC (“Peak Investments”, and together with Peak One and Goldstein, the “Peak Parties”) and J.H. Darbie & Co. (“Darbie”), along with a motion to reopen the action, alleging, among other things, that the Peak Parties are acting as unregistered dealers in violation of Section 15(a) of the Act.
On July 8, 2021, the Court denied our motion to reopen the action, without prejudice, as the amended complaint contravened the Eleventh Circuit’s prohibition against “shotgun” pleadings.
On July 22, 2021, we filed a motion for clarification and/or for leave to file its second amended complaint.
On August 5, 2021, Peak One and Goldstein filed opposition to our motion for leave to file a second amended complaint and, further, moved for sanctions pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1927.
We intend to litigate the causes of action asserted in the amended complaint against the Peak Parties and Darbie, including but not limited to Peak One is acting as an unregistered dealer in violation of Section 15(a) of the Act and, therefore, we are entitled to have the debentures and warrants entered into by and between us and Peak One declared void ab initio and, further, that Peak One is liable to us for recessionary damages to the Company pursuant to Section 29(b) of the Act. We contend that the foregoing arguments are brought in good faith, particularly in light of recent SEC enforcement actions against other unregistered dealers.
LGH Investments, LLC
On April 19, 2021, we commenced legal action in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California against LGH Investments, LLC (“LGH”) and Lucas Hoppel (“Hoppel”) alleging, among other things, that LGH is acting as unregistered dealer in violation of Section 15(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Act”) and, therefore, certain convertible promissory notes and share purchase agreements entered into by and between the Company and Peak One should be declared void ab initio and, further, that Peak One is liable for recessionary damages to the Company pursuant to Section 29(b) of the Act.
On June 25, 2021, LGH and Hoppel filed a motion to dismiss our complaint.
On July 8, 2021, we filed a motion for extension of time to respond to LGH and Hoppel’s motion to dismiss our complaint. The Court granted our motion for an extension of time on July 13, 2021.
On July 16, 2021, we filed our first amended complaint against LGH, Hoppel, and J.H. Darbie (“Darbie”) alleging, among other things, that LGH is acting as unregistered dealers in violation of Section 15(a) of the Act.
In turn, on July 23, 2021, the Court denied LGH and Hoppel’s motion to dismiss as moot.
On July 28, 2022, the Court granted LGH’s motion to dismiss. On August 15, 2022, we filed a notice of appeal to the California Supreme Court. .
We intend to litigate the causes of action asserted in the amended complaint against LGH, Hoppel, and Darbie, including but not limited to LGH is acting as an unregistered dealer in violation of Section 15(a) of the Act and, therefore, we are entitled to have the convertible promissory notes and share purchase agreements entered into by and between us and Peak One declared void ab initio and, further, that LGH is liable to the Company for recessionary damages to the Company pursuant to Section 29(b) of the Act. We contend that the foregoing arguments are brought in good faith, particularly in light of recent SEC enforcement actions against other unregistered dealers.
