Business of OpenLocker

Established on August 25, 2021, OpenLocker is dedicated to offering marketing solutions for collegiate and professional sports organizations and athletes using non-fungible tokens (NFTs) to create more immersive experiences for fans. The OpenLocker platform is designed to offer a seamless experience for users who have no prior experience buying or trading digital tokens. Utilizing the Flow blockchain, a fast, scalable and reliable blockchain, OpenLocker is able to use less energy than some other blockchains including Ethereum.

OpenLocker connects the digital and the physical worlds by offering real world utility and a physical token of ownership to fans who purchase a digital collectible on its Web3 platform. The limited-edition Platinum Cards are wallet-sized, metal collectible cards that are hand-signed by the athlete and feature the digital art on one side and QR code on the back which directs to the digital viewer. The digital and physical collectibles will grant access to VIP experiences and enable fans to receive rewards from local, regional and national retailers.

The fan communities in development will feature unique branding and strategic marketing campaigns to bolster fan awareness without the use of university-licensed marks. For instance, the Radford University fan community has been dubbed the Rowdy Redz to pay homage to the school’s rich history while incorporating a fun and edgy feel. OpenLocker collects feedback from student-athletes and die-hard fans to create the collectibles, experiences and utility that will resonate with each fan base.

The OpenLocker mission is to empower athletes to monetize their fan engagement with innovative digital collectibles and to create meaningful experiences for fans by using OpenLocker’s technology to build communities. Each digital token is authenticated on the blockchain with a unique serial number which is assigned to the buyer upon purchase. The selection and pricing of each collection is determined by such factors as the size of the target audience, the athlete’s popularity, and associated utility and goals set forth by the community manager. To further engage super fans and boosters, as well as increase athlete’s earning potential, a one-of-one NFT may also be offered for sale by auction and includes autographed gear/ memorabilia and personalized experiences (meet-and-greet or customized activity) with the athlete, arranged by OpenLocker with the athlete’s input and approval.

The Bone Yard Huskyz Club (BYHC) was created by OpenLocker in January 2022 for the University of Connecticut using the Name, Image and Likeness (NIL) of all 14 eligible members of the men’s basketball team as a proof of concept. The OpenLocker creative team designed a BYHC logo and Huskyz avatar (a takeoff on the university’s Huskies mascot) in the likeness of each of the athletes which were used for branding and promotional purposes. A website with a project roadmap outlining the perks and rewards of club membership was activated two weeks prior to the NFT release date, which was strategically timed around the basketball team’s season schedule. OpenLocker’s comprehensive marketing campaign included digital programmatic advertising, organic and paid social media strategy (including pre- and post-drop Twitter conversations with fans, blockchain experts, athletes and parents of athletes), podcasts, email blasts and gorilla marketing at several home basketball games. The OpenLocker athlete liaison also provided the athletes with graphics and talking points they could use to leverage their social media followers and promote sales of their own NFTs by word-of-mouth.

A majority of the revenue from the BYHC project was generated on the first day of sales of the NFTs. The first two hours were the busiest as fans were incentivized by the free autographed “Platinum card” that was included with purchase for the first 25 NFTs sold per athlete. This unique collectible is a metal, wallet-sized card hand-signed by the athlete with the digital art printed on the front and quick response (QR) code that directs to the NFT viewer on the back. Another stream of revenue was generated in March 2022 as the University of Connecticut basketball team wrapped up their regular season and played post-season tournaments.

OpenLocker’s plan is to take the exclusive fan club model (Bone Yard Huskyz Club), originally created for the University of Connecticut, to other universities in partnership with independent groups working to provide college athletes with NIL opportunities. Since the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) changed its policy to allow college athletes to benefit from their NIL, alumni and boosters are eager to raise funds in a way that meets NCAA, state and university compliance requirements. OpenLocker anticipates expanding to four to six more colleges in the third quarter of 2022 (prior to the start of the fall football season) and another four to six colleges in the fourth quarter of 2022 (to coincide with basketball pre-season).

OpenLocker’s current revenue model includes (i) profit sharing of primary sales on the OpenLocker platform with partners and athletes, (ii) collecting transaction fees from transactions on OpenLocker’s trading portal, as well as (iii) service fees for additional creative design work, development and product fulfillment services.

OpenLocker has also negotiated deals with several professional lacrosse players to release an NFT collection leading into the 2022 Premier Lacrosse League season. OpenLocker plans to open an online portal for individual athletes to create and sell their own NFT collections and physical collectibles by the third quarter of 2022. While OpenLocker currently does not have licensing agreements with any professional sports leagues, teams or institutions, OpenLocker anticipates finalizing one or more such deals by the end of 2022 and into 2023. However, there can be no assurance that the foregoing can occur as planned, or at all. OpenLocker believes that licensing the NIL of athletes directly with each athlete allows OpenLocker to retain more revenue, while giving the athlete a larger percentage of the profit, which is an important differentiating factor for OpenLocker in the sports NFT space.

Moreover, OpenLocker has been in discussions with athletes outside of the college sports arena, including related to golf and race car driving and foresees opportunities in NASCAR, Ultimate Fighting Championship, and beyond.

OpenLocker launched the OpenStable marketplace in April 2022 to engage the next generation of thoroughbred racing enthusiasts. Through its relationships with owners, trainers and influencers in the racing industry, OpenStable aims to be able to give fans access to exclusive information, real life experiences, and memorabilia so that they may engage in a truly immersive journey covering a racehorse’s career.

The launch strategy for the OpenStable marketplace involved reaching the largest audience of racing fans (both casual and committed) by creating a collection of NFTs featuring the leading contenders in the Kentucky Derby and Kentucky Oaks, as well as scheduling their release on the weekend prior to each of those two prominent races. Per a Memorandum of Understanding (the “MOU”) dated April 15, 2022, OpenLocker and Horse Races Now established terms for a marketing collaboration, whereby Horse Races Now agreed to drive traffic from its app and e-mail marketing campaigns targeted at its existing user base of racing fans, in exchange for OpenLocker paying Horse Races Now 12.5% of its retained revenues (after transaction fees) generated from sales of all NFT collections, on OpenStable.

The MOU has provided OpenLocker with access to the Horse Races Now’s (horseracesnow.com) database of 600,000 users and placement in the app. OpenLocker also executed a weeklong digital promotion in the Daily Racing Form and conducted media interviews, as well as social media campaigns. While the racing season was at its height, OpenLocker benefited from significant traffic to its website and generated some sales of gear, including apparel, hats, pins, and other items featuring each racehorse’s unique brand (also featuring the OpenStable logo). Additional NFT releases are expected to be made over the course of summer 2022, in connection with various racehorses.

Finally, the user-friendly interface that OpenLocker created for college sports fans and emphasis on fan community building is an important differentiator for OpenStable as it seeks to position itself as the next-generation marketing solution within the thoroughbred racing space. As the average fan is currently over 50 years old and likely unfamiliar with blockchain technology, simplifying NFTs is vital for piquing their interest. Offering ownership of digital tokens along with rewards and experiences, both in the virtual and physical realms, also makes OpenStable products attractive to a younger audience with a goal to develop a next generation younger fan engagement around the thoroughbred racing sport.

OpenLocker believes that it has found a unique and attractive market for the application of NFTs by focusing on the college athlete market. For example, pursuant to a Statista survey published on April 8, 2022, in a survey conducted in March 2022, 11 percent of respondents stated that they were avid fans of NCAA men’s college basketball in the United States, whereas 26 percent of respondents stated they were casual fans. The NCAA men’s basketball is the college level of basketball played in the United States and is seen as the final step up before the NBA.

OpenLocker Proprietary Marketplace & Platform

OpenLocker has designed an NFT platform for sports fans with no prior experience with cryptocurrency or digital wallets. The primary marketplace accepts both fiat and cryptocurrency with a variety of payment method options. By operating on the Flow blockchain, OpenLocker is energy-efficient and therefore does not charge minting or gas fees. The platform also supports token-gated access to exclusive information, virtual experiences and gear shops.

To further enhance customer adoption of the technology, OpenLocker provides online documentation and promptly responds to inquiries submitted via email and social media 7 days a week. A step-by-step instruction guide on how to set up a Blocto wallet and claim an NFT after purchase is available on openlocker.io. OpenLocker also publishes information for sports fans about the benefits of NFT ownership and how to navigate the OpenLocker platform.

OpenLocker offers a secondary marketplace for peer-to-peer transactions of only those NFTs that it mints. By creating its own ecosystem for fans to buy, sell and trade NFTs, OpenLocker is able to offer rewards and incentives for fan engagement. A 7.5% fee is collected by OpenLocker, which covers the cost of the blockchain transaction and development while also enabling OpenLocker to pay athletes an additional royalty on residual sales.

Customers

To date OpenLocker’s customers primarily include existing team, athlete, and horse fans such as students, alumni, parents and friends of the athletes as well as new fans that wish to support community engagement. As the NIL market grows and expands, potential customers include any person interested in purchasing an NFT and exploring the burgeoning Web3 environment.

Industry Overview and Market Opportunity

We believe one of the most notable developments in financial markets during 2021 was the rally in digital assets and the changing of the public perspective on digital assets, as well as increased institutional interest. In April 2021, CNBC reported that the total market capitalization of the cryptocurrency space had eclipsed $2 trillion for the first time. We believe this evidences that the digital asset phenomenon has deeper roots and, not withstanding its unpredictability, we expect it is here to stay for the long run.

In our opinion, the issue is no longer whether digital assets will survive, but rather how they will evolve. While the cryptocurrency market is often volatile at this time, we believe this could be a phase preceding broader acceptance of a fairly new asset class.

We believe many digital assets are built on a technological foundation that grants them a unique and lasting advantage over traditional assets. However, we believe it is far too early to predict which cryptocurrencies will actually survive the ongoing shifts that are likely to redefine the future digital asset landscape. Therefore, we plan for our Company not to be structured based on any one cryptocurrency to succeed. Instead, we plan to provide our stockholders the opportunity to diversify their digital asset portfolio with an investment in our Company.

2021 was a significant year for digital assets and as the market continues to develop, the world’s financial institutions, policymakers, and investors are watching carefully. Whatever the future holds for digital assets, we believe that we will be the digital asset investment platform that many investors are looking for.

OpenLocker Industry Overview and Market Opportunity

Deloitte Global predicts that NFTs for sports media will generate more than $2 billion in transactions in 2022, approximately double the figure for 2021. By the end of 2022, it is expected that 4 to 5 million sports fans globally will have purchased or been gifted an NFT sports collectible. Interest in sports NFTs is likely to be spurred by activity in the wider NFT market, including that for digital art. In fact, the top five most valuable sales of sports NFTs generated over $100 million by August 2021, and sales figures for the top five most valuable sales are predicted to grow by the end of 2022.

NFTs and NFT marketplaces specifically devoted to college athletes have played an increasingly important role in the rising popularity of digital tokens among sports fans. Our business model has been enabled by the recent change in NCAA policy, effective July 1, 2021, which now allows college athletes to profit from their NIL. A majority of the general public and close to three quarters of college sports fans believe that athletes should be compensated for their NIL, with stronger support among those between the ages of 18 and 34. The younger demographic are also interested in the digital tools enabled by blockchain technology, as well as being part of an exclusive like-minded community. Millennials use social media to connect with peers and others around them; therefore, they are more likely to desire ownership of digital art that they can display online and use as a profile picture.

Principal Products and Services

We plan to: (i) own, develop, consult on, and provide funding for new and existing digital assets; (ii) hold digital assets for the benefit of our stockholders; and (iii) be founders of new digital assets.

We believe that our value will grow if the digital assets we invest in succeed. We live in a world that is increasingly global - digital natives control a growing share of the world’s wealth, and each year we see more commerce happening online. We feel that with proper execution of our business plan and the success of our digital asset portfolio, we will provide value to our stockholders. More importantly, we feel we have a tremendous opportunity to actively drive our business by:

OpenLocker Principal Products and Services

OpenLocker aims to provide a comprehensive suite of NFT products and services, adopting a hybrid flexible model creating products both licensed and non-licensed with colleges, professional sports teams, leagues, brands, etc.

OpenLocker creates and sells non-fungible tokens with a license to use an athlete’s NIL. NFTs for each individual athlete are minted on the Flow blockchain in limited edition series to create verifiable digital scarcity and store metadata of value to collectors. Each digital token also includes other benefits such as access to exclusive information, collectibles, memorabilia and experiences.

OpenLocker also plans to pursue partnerships and licensing opportunities with universities, amateur and professional sports organizations, as well as brands.

Each NFT which OpenLocker sells comes with a Platinum Card autographed by the athlete. This metal, wallet-sized card has the digital art print sublimated on one side and a QR code printed on the other side which directs to the NFT viewer. The serial number is laser engraved on the card and there is space reserved for the athlete to hand-sign. The physical collectible connects the digital asset to the physical world for fans new to the technology and provides a canvas for the athlete’s authentic signature to be delivered to customers.

OpenLocker also sells exclusive gear, including t-shirts, sweatshirts, hats and pins, in its token-gated gear shops for NFT holders.

The OpenLocker NFT Marketplace provides a user-friendly shopping experience for sports fans to purchase NFTs of their favorite athletes using fiat or cryptocurrency. To reduce friction and expedite the checkout process, first-time customers connect their non-custodial digital wallet (Blocto) to the OpenLocker NFT viewer after purchase. Once connected, the customer can then “claim” the NFT purchased to his/her wallet and gain access to utility and rewards program.

The OpenLocker Trading Portal allows peer-to-peer transactions on the Flow blockchain. NFT holders can list their tokens for sale in USD with FUSD, a USD-backed stablecoin, issued as the fungible token for transactions. To purchase an NFT, customers can easily purchase FUSD through the Blocto wallet app in just a few clicks.

OpenLocker also provides branding services for individual athletes, university collectives, horse owners/trainers, and other entities interested in creating a distinctive identity, building their fan base, and maximizing revenue. From logo creation and styling to social media messaging and activation campaigns, OpenLocker’s team can provide enhanced support to collaborating colleges and athletes.

Competition

Our competitors include other companies focused on investments in, development of, and provision of consulting services to, digital assets and digital asset companies. Venture funds such as Pantera Capital, Blockchain Capital and Union Square Ventures invest in and advise the cryptocurrency space in similar ways that we intend to do, and have significantly greater resources than us for such endeavors. However, we believe we have a number of key strengths that will allow us to compete effectively against other participants in this space. We believe the following advantages set us apart from our competitors:

Competition—OpenLocker

There are several companies that have launched NFT marketplaces featuring college athletes and sports and entertainment in general. Several of those companies are backed by celebrities, venture capital funds and other larger funding sources. In addition, numerous others create digital art for minting and list tokens for sale on OpenSea. OpenSea is the largest NFT marketplace which allows users to both buy and sell NFTs minted on the Ethereum and Polygon blockchains and supports numerous digital wallets. To date, however, there are very few sports focused marketplaces.

The following advantages set OpenLocker apart from its competitors:

OpenLocker’s user-friendly platform empowers athletes to monetize their fan engagement with innovative digital collectibles. In addition to designing and minting NFTs with the athlete’s NIL, OpenLocker also invests in helping athletes build their “digital currency” with branding support services and integrated marketing strategies. OpenLocker facilitates the distribution of autographed collectibles, gear and any memorabilia that athletes wish to deliver to fans, along with experiences or appearances agreed to by the athlete.

Even in the digital age, the value of an authentic autographed or game-worn jersey is significant for sports fans of all ages. OpenLocker also offers a physical, hand-signed platinum card with the purchase of an NFT on its platform. This metal wallet-sized card is intended to mimic the look and feel of an American Express Black Card so that the fan can feel like a member of an exclusive club.

The release of each NFT collection is designed to target an athlete’s, group of athletes’ or team’s fan base and community. A combination of organic and paid social media campaigns, public relations, advertising and campus activation strategies are used to drive sales. Scheduling drops around peak interest and special events is also critical to maximize the impact of sales and marketing efforts, the most effective times being just prior to the start of a season.

While digital collectibles and Web3 applications are gaining attention and wider use among mainstream brands, OpenLocker strives to remove obstacles to the adoption of blockchain technology. The OpenLocker development team has designed its proprietary NFT platform to be user-friendly, accepting credit and debit cards.

In addition to a searchable NFT marketplace, the OpenLocker and OpenStable platforms support community engagement features such as a token-gated information portal and gear shops. The creative design team and project manager also collaborate on the development of social media and additional digital domains for community building initiatives.

The OpenLocker Business Development team leverages its relationships with college coaches and athletic departments to explore potential partnerships, school licensing opportunities and gain direct access to athletes. OpenLocker is in negotiations with several university-specific collectives established to help college athletes sign NIL deals.

The OpenLocker platform differentiates itself from other NFT platforms by being a one-stop shop for sports fans to purchase both digital and physical collectibles, as well as gear and memorabilia. The varied product offering is particularly attractive to fans who are not familiar with NFTs, less technologically savvy and more inclined to purchase gear and memorabilia.

Government Regulation

Our anticipated business activities are not currently subject to any particular regulation by government agencies other than those routinely imposed on corporate and/or publicly traded businesses.

Notwithstanding the above, as digital assets have grown in both popularity and market size, the U.S. Congress and a number of U.S. federal and state agencies (including FinCEN, SEC, CFTC, FINRA, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), the Department of Justice, the Department of Homeland Security, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the IRS and state financial institution regulators) have been examining the operations of digital asset networks, digital asset users and the digital asset exchange markets, with particular focus on the extent to which digital assets can be used to launder the proceeds of illegal activities or fund criminal or terrorist enterprises and the safety and soundness of exchanges or other service-providers that hold digital assets for users. Many of these state and federal agencies have issued consumer advisories regarding the risks posed by digital assets to investors. In addition, federal and state agencies, and other countries, have issued rules or guidance about the treatment of digital asset transactions or requirements for businesses engaged in digital asset activity.

In addition, the SEC, U.S. state securities regulators and several foreign governments have issued warnings that digital assets sold in initial coin offerings (“ICOs”) may be classified as securities and that both those digital assets and ICOs may be subject to securities regulations. Ongoing and future regulatory actions may alter, perhaps to a materially adverse extent, the nature of an investment in us or our ability to continue to operate. Additionally, U.S. state and federal, and foreign regulators and legislatures have taken action against virtual currency businesses or enacted restrictive regimes in response to adverse publicity arising from hacks, consumer harm, or criminal activity stemming from virtual currency activity.

Law enforcement agencies have often relied on the transparency of blockchains to facilitate investigations. Europol, the European Union’s law enforcement agency, released a report in October 2017 noting the increased use of privacy-enhancing digital assets like Zcash and Monero in criminal activity on the internet and in May 2018 it was reported that Japan’s Financial Service Agency has been pressuring Japanese digital asset exchanges to delist privacy-enhancing digital assets. Although no regulatory action has been taken to treat Zcash or other privacy-enhancing digital assets differently, this may change in the future.

Various foreign jurisdictions have, and may continue to, in the near future, adopt laws, regulations or directives that affect the digital asset markets and their users, particularly digital assets and their service providers that fall within such jurisdictions’ regulatory scope. For example, on March 5, 2020, South Korea voted to amend its Financial Information Act to require virtual asset service providers to register and comply with its AML and CFT framework. These measures also provide the government with the authority to close digital asset exchanges that do not comply with specified processes. The Chinese and South Korean governments have also banned ICOs and there are reports that Chinese regulators have taken action to shut down a number of China-based digital asset exchanges. Further, on January 19, 2018, a Chinese news organization reported that the People’s Bank of China had ordered financial institutions to stop providing banking or funding to “any activity related to cryptocurrencies.” Similarly, in April 2018, the Reserve Bank of India banned the entities it regulates from providing services to any individuals or business entities dealing with or settling digital assets. On March 5, 2020, this ban was overturned in the Indian Supreme Court, although the Reserve Bank of India is currently challenging this ruling. There remains significant uncertainty regarding the South Korean, Indian and Chinese governments’ future actions with respect to the regulation of digital assets and digital asset exchanges. Such laws, regulations or directives may conflict with those of the United States and may negatively impact the acceptance of digital assets by users, merchants and service providers outside the United States and may therefore impede the growth or sustainability of the digital asset economy in the European Union, China, Japan, Russia and the United States and globally, or otherwise negatively affect the value of digital assets.

In July 2019, the United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority (the “FCA”) proposed rules to address harm to retail consumers deriving from the sale of derivatives and exchange traded notes (“ETNs”) that reference certain types of digital assets, contending that they are “ill-suited” to retail investors citing extreme volatility, valuation challenges and association with financial crime. In addition to ETNs, the proposed ban would affect financial products including contracts for difference, options and futures. Public consultation on the proposed restriction closed in October 2019. As of November 15, 2021, the FCA has not yet finalized its proposed ruling.

In January 2021, the United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority (the “FCA”) banned the sale, marketing and distribution to all retail consumers of any derivatives (i.e. contract for difference – CFDs, options and futures) and exchange traded notes that reference unregulated transferable cryptoassets by firms acting in, or from, the UK. The FCA stated that the products cannot be reliably valued as these have a history of market abuse and financial crime, extreme volatility in cryptoasset price movements. The FCA also maintains that there is an inadequate understanding of cryptoassets by retail consumers and lack of legitimate investment need for retail consumers to invest.

The effect of any future regulatory change on us is impossible to predict, but such change could be substantial and adverse.

Securities Act of 1933

Certain regulatory considerations may exist under the Securities Act with respect to the digital assets we acquire. We have adopted a facts and circumstances-based policy for determining whether or not the digital assets considered for investment by our Company are securities, as the determination of an asset’s status as a security is a highly fact-specific determination.

1. First, we consider the facts and circumstances relative to each digital asset we are considering investing in.

2. Second, we will apply the Howey test when reviewing those unique facts and circumstances. Each of the prongs of Howey will result in discussion of the facts, depending on the level of complexity related to making the determination.

If this does not produce a result we feel confident in, we may also apply and consider each of the unique facts and circumstances questions related to each digital asset as described in the remarks of William Hinman, the Director of the SEC’s Division of Corporation Finance at the Yahoo Finance All Markets Summit: Crypto in June 2018.

Because an “investment contract,” pursuant to the terms of Howey, must satisfy all of the prongs of the test in order to be deemed to be an “investment contract,” if we think any digital asset fails one of the prongs of the Howey Test, the further tests need not be applied.

As of November 15, 2021, we do not yet hold any digital assets. Once we have invested in digital assets, in the event we invest in assets that are deemed securities, we may become subject to additional regulatory requirements, including under the Securities Act. For example, typically, offerings of securities in the United States are required to register under the Securities Act with the SEC and, in compliance with state law, with applicable state regulators, and to the extent any digital assets we invest in was originally distributed in connection with an illegal securities offering, those assets may lose value. In addition, our plans to make purchases and sales of digital assets may be substantially constrained or prohibited with respect to transactions if determined to be a security. We may need to find a suitable exemption from registration for these sales. As a result, we may not be permitted to operate our business as we intend.

Securities Exchange Act of 1934

We do not currently contemplate investing in any cryptocurrencies that constitute securities under the U.S. securities laws.

In the event we do invest in assets that are deemed securities, however, we may be required to make certain filings with the SEC in connection with any acquisition or beneficial ownership of more than 5% of any class of the equity securities of a company registered under the Exchange Act. Generally, these filings require disclosure of the identity and background of the purchaser, the source and amount of funds used to acquire the securities, the purpose of the transaction, the purchaser’s interest in the securities, and any contracts, arrangements or undertakings regarding the securities. Also, if we become the beneficial owner of more than 10% of any class of the equity securities of a company registered under the Exchange Act, we may be subject to certain additional reporting requirements and to liability for short-swing profits under Section 16 of the Exchange Act.

Investment Company Act of 1940

The Investment Company Act regulates certain companies that invest in, hold or trade securities. In general, a company with more than 40% of the value of its non-cash assets held in investment securities is an “investment company.” We believe that our Company will not be subject to the provisions of the Investment Company Act since we do not intend to invest in assets that constitute securities under the U.S. securities laws. Accordingly, stockholders are not afforded the protections of the Investment Company Act.

In the event that we do invest in assets that are deemed securities, however, we may be subject to additional regulatory requirements, including under the Investment Company Act. For example, we may be required to register as an investment company. Registered investment companies are subject to extensive, restrictive and potentially adverse regulations relating to, among other things, operating methods, leverage, management, capital structure, dividends and transactions with affiliates. Registered investment companies may not be permitted to operate their business in the manner in which we operate our businesses, nor are registered investment companies permitted to have many of the relationships that we have with our affiliated companies.

Investment Advisers Act of 1940

The Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the “Advisers Act”) regulates persons who for compensation are engaged in the business of providing advice, making recommendations, issuing reports, or furnishing analyses on securities, either directly or through publications, to others. We believe that, because the assets of the Company are not expected to constitute securities under the U.S. securities laws, we will not be subject to investment adviser regulation under the Advisers Act.

In the event we do invest in assets that are deemed securities, however, we may be subject to additional regulatory requirements, including under the Advisers Act. For example, we may be required to register as an investment adviser. Registered investment advisers are subject to extensive, restrictive and potentially adverse regulations relating to, among other things, operating methods, disclosure, advertising, and fees. Registered investment advisers may not be permitted to operate their business in the manner in which we intend to operate our business. its businesses.

Commodity Exchange Act

We will not hold or trade in commodity futures contracts or other derivative contracts regulated by the CEA, as administered by the CFTC. We do not believe we are a commodity pool for purposes of the CEA.

Foreign Considerations

Our primary place of business and market of operation is the United States. We may, however, also be subject to a variety of foreign laws and regulations that involve matters central to our business. These could include, for example, regulations related to privacy, blockchain technology, data protection, and intellectual property, among others. In certain cases, foreign laws may be more restrictive than those in the United States. Although we believe we are operating in compliance with the laws of jurisdictions in which we operate, foreign laws and regulations are constantly evolving and can be subject to significant change. In addition, the application and interpretation of these laws and regulations are often uncertain, particularly in the new and rapidly evolving industry in which we operate. As a result, cryptocurrency networks, blockchain technologies, and coin and token offerings such as those we intend to be involved in face an uncertain regulatory landscape in many foreign jurisdictions, including but not limited to the European Union, China and Russia. Other foreign jurisdictions may also, in the near future, adopt laws, regulations or directives that affect digital assets that we may invest in.

Government Regulation—OpenLocker

We are subject to an extensive and highly-evolving regulatory landscape, and any adverse changes to, or our failure to comply with, any laws and regulations could adversely affect our brand, reputation, business, operating results, and financial condition. We are also subject to governmental regulations routinely imposed on corporate and/or publicly traded businesses.

Blockchain and digital assets are increasingly becoming subject to governmental regulation, both in the U.S. and internationally. The technology underlying blockchain technology is affected by a number of industry-wide challenges and risks relating to consumer acceptance of blockchain technology, including but not limited to government and quasi-government regulation of NFTs and their use, or restrictions on or regulation of access to and operation of blockchain networks or similar systems, the maintenance and development of the open-source software protocol of blockchain networks, changes in consumer demographics and public tastes and preferences, the extent to which current interest in NFTs represents a speculative “bubble”.

Digital assets have grown in both popularity and market size, the U.S. Congress and a number of U.S. federal and state agencies (including FinCEN, SEC, CFTC, FINRA, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the Department of Justice, the Department of Homeland Security, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the IRS and state financial institution regulators have each been examining the operations of digital asset networks, digital asset users and the digital asset exchange markets. Particular focus has been given on the extent to which digital assets can be used to launder the proceeds of illegal activities or fund criminal or terrorist enterprises, as well as the safety and soundness of exchanges or other service providers that hold digital assets for users.

Many federal and state agencies have issued advisories and general public inquiries regarding the risks posed by digital assets, crypto currencies and solutions. In addition, federal and state agencies, and other countries have issued rules or guidance about the treatment of digital asset transactions or requirements for businesses engaged in digital asset activity, both at a “Know Your Customer” and at “Know Your Transaction” levels.

As discussed above, the SEC, U.S. state securities regulators and several foreign governments have issued warnings that digital assets sold in ICOs may be classified as securities and that both those digital assets and ICOs may be subject to securities regulations. Our anticipated business activities, however, do not involve any ICOs nor any fractionalized NFT offerings.

On March 9, 2022, President Biden signed an executive order on cryptocurrencies entitled “Ensuring Responsible Development of Digital Assets” and issued with an accompanying fact sheet, regarding the U.S. government’s strategy for digital assets, defined to include cryptocurrencies and other forms of exchange that are recorded on the blockchain. Citing the need for the federal government to address the role of digital assets in the financial system, the executive order represents the first whole-of-government approach to the benefits and risks of digital assets. It is a general policy statement that reflects the views of the administration, as opposed to a specific proposal for regulation. While the executive order did not mandate any specific regulations, it instructs various federal agencies to consider potential regulatory measures, including the evaluation of the creation of a U.S. Central Bank digital currency. Accordingly, depending on the rules, regulations and laws stemming from this executive order, it may have a substantive effect on our current and planned operations. Digital assets currently face an uncertain regulatory landscape in not only the United States, but also abroad.

Ongoing and future regulatory actions may alter, perhaps to a materially adverse extent, the nature of the services provided by OpenLocker or the ability of OpenLocker to continue to operate. Additionally, U.S. state and federal, and foreign regulators and legislatures have taken action against virtual currency businesses or enacted restrictive regimes in response to adverse publicity arising from hacks, consumer harm, or criminal activity stemming from virtual currency activity.

The U.S. Financial Crimes Enforcement Network is planning to release new requirements relating to digital asset activities in the first half of 2022. Various foreign jurisdictions have, and may continue to in the near future, adopt laws, regulations or directives that affect the digital asset markets and their users, particularly digital assets and their service providers that fall within such jurisdictions’ regulatory scope. They will further require crypto asset service providers to register and comply with its anti-money-laundering (AML) and counter-terrorism financing framework. These measures also provide the government with the authority to close digital asset platforms and service providers that do not comply with specified processes. Such laws, regulations or directives may conflict with those of the United States and may negatively impact the acceptance of digital assets by users, merchants and service providers outside the United States and may therefore impede the growth or sustainability of the digital asset economy in the European Union, China, Japan, Russia, the United States and elsewhere. Otherwise, they may also negatively affect the value of digital assets.

Federal Regulatory Authorities

The regulatory schemes – both foreign and domestic – possibly affecting DApp technology (“DAPP”), a decentralized application that runs on blockchain network, and other Digital Asset networks may not be fully developed as of the present time. It is possible that any jurisdiction may, in the near or distant future, adopt laws, regulations, policies or rules directly or indirectly affecting the Digital Assets, generally, or restricting the right to acquire, own, hold, sell, convert, trade, lend or use Digital Assets, or to exchange Digital Assets for either fiat currency or other virtual currency, or to operate or participate or transact with a DAPP. It is also possible that government authorities may claim ownership over or ban certain types of Digital Assets or DAPPs or law enforcement agencies (of any or all jurisdictions, foreign or domestic) may take direct or indirect investigative or prosecutorial action related to, among other things, the use, ownership or transfer of Digital Assets, or the operation, participation or transacting with DAPPs, resulting in a change to the value of a Digital Asset or to the development such asset (e.g., the closure and seizure of Silk Road and the closure and seizure of www.libertyreserve.com—the domain name for Liberty Reserve, an online, virtual currency payment processor and money transfer system that the U.S. government alleges acted as a financial hub of the cybercrime world) or DAPP.

CFTC

The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) has asserted its regulatory authority over Digital Assets, stating that both Bitcoin and Ether are Digital Asset commodities. See IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Chairman Tarbert Comments on Cryptocurrency Regulation at Yahoo! Finance All Markets Summit, Release Number 8051-19 (Oct. 10, 2019). In addition, the CFTC has brought close to 50 enforcement actions involving the Digital Asset space. See Testimony of Chairman Rostin Behnam Regarding “Examining Digital Assets: Risks, Regulation, and Innovation” (Feb. 09, 2022). For example, the CFTC fined the stablecoin issuer Tether for making misleading statements regarding USDT in October 2021. See CFTC Orders Tether and Bitfinex to Pay Fines Totaling $42.5 Million, Release Number 8450-21 (Oct. 15, 2021). As the primary regulator of derivatives (i.e., futures, options and swaps), the CFTC also has jurisdiction over all such digital currency-linked derivatives, including the platforms that list them and the clearing houses that clear them.

SEC

Although the SEC has not formally asserted regulatory authority over any certain Digital Asset, on April 3, 2019, the SEC published a framework aimed at assisting in determining whether a cryptocurrency is a security (the “Framework”). Alongside the Framework, the SEC also published a no-action letter for TurnKey Jet, Inc. (the “TurnKey Letter”), which marks the first ever no-action letter regarding cryptocurrencies. Per the Framework and the TurnKey Letter, cryptocurrencies cannot be used to raise capital without implicating U.S. securities laws.

Prior to the Framework, the SEC had addressed the regulatory status of cryptocurrency in various contexts. For example, on November 16, 2018, the SEC settled charges against CarrierEQ Inc. (“Airfox”) and Paragon Coin Inc. (“Paragon”), two companies that sold digital tokens in ICOs in 2017. The SEC determined that both AirTokens and PRG tokens were “securities” and that, in turn, Airfox and Paragon violated Sections 5(a) and 5(c) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (together with the rules and regulations thereunder, the “Securities Act”) by offering and selling those securities without having a registration statement filed or in effect with the SEC or qualifying for exemption from registration with the SEC. The orders imposed $250,000 penalties against each company and both companies agreed to return funds to harmed investors, register the tokens as securities, file periodic reports with the SEC, and pay penalties. Airfox and Paragon consented to the orders without admitting or denying the findings.

The SEC has also engaged in an enforcement action involving decentralized finance, charging two individuals, along with their Cayman Islands company, for (1) the unregistered sale of more than $30 million of securities via smart contracts and DApp technology, and (2) for misleading investors regarding the operations and profitability of their business, DeFi Money Market. See SEC Charges Decentralized Finance Lender and Top Executives for Raising $30 Million Through Fraudulent Offerings, SEC Press Release No. 2021-145 (Aug. 06, 2021).

In the event that the DAPPs were deemed to be “issuers” within the meaning of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (together with the rules and regulations thereunder, the “Exchange Act”) with respect to the Native Tokens, such Native Tokens could be considered unregistered securities. Such a determination could adversely affect OpenLocker’s liquidity and negatively affect the valuations of the OpenLocker’s Digital Assets.

FinCEN

To the extent that OpenLocker and/or the DAPP engages in money services business activity, including money transmission, as defined by FinCEN, OpenLocker and/or the DAPP may be deemed to fall within the Bank Secrecy Act’s definition of a financial institution, and subject to the Bank Secrecy Act, 31 U.S.C. §§ 5311-5314; 5316-5330, and its implementing regulations, and as such required to register as a money services business with FinCEN. OpenLocker and/or the DAPP would also be required to develop an AML program and adhere to U.S. federal reporting and record keeping requirements. Owners, operators, participants and others who assist in the operation of an unregistered money services business may be subject to civil money penalties under 31 U.S.C. § 5321, and/or criminal liability under 31 U.S.C. § 5322 and 18 U.S.C. § 1960. Such additional legal and regulatory obligations may cause OpenLocker to incur extraordinary expenses and ongoing expenses, possibly affecting an investment in OpenLocker in a material and adverse manner. To the extent OpenLocker limits or reduces the scope of certain activities, investors’ rights or investment initiatives, in order to ensure compliance with laws, or to limit the applicability of government regulation and supervision, investments in OpenLocker may be adversely affected.

State Regulatory Authorities

To the extent that the activities of OpenLocker cause it to be deemed a “money transmitter” (and/or other type of regulated financial services provider, for example, a “virtual currency business” in New York) under state statutes or regulations, it may incur significant fees in becoming licensed in each state in which it does business and may also be required to adhere to state statutes or regulations. To the extent that a state requires an additional license or registration for the DAPP’s activities involving Digital Assets that require the DAPP to obtain a license or register with the state for its activities involving Digital Assets, the DAPP may cease or limit its operations or activities, which may have an adverse effect on OpenLocker. In either case, states may impose fines or penalties with respect to any unlicensed activity. Owners, operators, participants and others who assist in the operation of an unlicensed money transmission or virtual currency business may also be subject to fines or penalties and/or criminal liability under state laws or 18 U.S.C. § 1960, if applicable.

In the event that OpenLocker is required to adhere to state statutes and regulations applicable to money transmitters or virtual currency businesses, such additional legal and regulatory obligations may cause OpenLocker to incur extraordinary expenses and ongoing expenses, possibly affecting an investment in OpenLocker in a material and adverse manner. To the extent that OpenLocker limits or reduces the scope of certain OpenLocker activities, investors’ rights or investment initiatives, in order to limit the applicability of government regulation and supervision over OpenLocker, investment in OpenLocker may be adversely affected.

The effect of any future regulatory change on OpenLocker is impossible to predict, but such change could be substantial and be materially adverse to OpenLocker’s business and results of operations. This risk and others are described below under the heading “Risk Factors”.

Organizational History

Descrypto was originally incorporated in Delaware in 1986. Descrypto changed domicile to Massachusetts in 1987. Until July 7, 1992, Descrypto was engaged in the sale of an automated luminometer and an accompanying reagent system that measures raw material for microbiological contamination. Descrypto discontinued operations and liquidated the remaining inventory of reagents on April 16, 1993. Descrypto changed its state of domicile again in Delaware in May 1996 and concurrently changed its name to IMSCO Technologies, Inc. At the time, Descrypto switched its focus to developing technology that achieves molecular separation with innovative applications of electrostatics. Descrypto ultimately abandoned these endeavors and continued to go through shifts in its business operations. In 2001, Descrypto changed its name to Global Sports and Entertainment, Inc. In 2002, Descrypto changed its name to GWIN, Inc. Descrypto changed its name to Winning Edge International, Inc. in 2006 and in 2007, to W Technologies, Inc.

In June 2021, the Company closed upon a share exchange agreement with Krypto Ventures pivoting the Company into the blockchain technology and digital asset business. While remaining focused on blockchain technology and digital assets, in November 2021, the Company redeemed a large portion of the common stock issued in the Krypto Ventures transaction and current management took over the Company operations.

Effective December 31, 2021, the Company changed its name to “Descrypto Holdings, Inc.”, and on April 12, 2022, the Company began trading under its current symbol - “DSRO”.

Descrypto is now a holding company focused on blockchain technology and digital assets, including the burgeoning world of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and the metaverse. Descrypto is currently focused on the sports and entertainment aspects of NFTs including building out a creative studio and NFT platform for the development of crypto art, NFT development and digital entertainment. Descrypto also intends to provide consulting and support services related to the development of decentralized autonomous organizations.

Through the acquisition of OpenLocker, Descrypto is connecting fans and athletes with innovative digital collectibles and through OpenStable, which is part of the OpenLocker ecosystem, Descrypto is providing the first thoroughbred racing digital collectibles to a growing next generation of fans.

Series A Preferred Stock

On January 10, 2022, the Company filed a Certificate of Designations of Preferences and Rights of Series A Preferred Stock with the Delaware Secretary of State, authorizing 200,000 shares of Series A preferred stock (the “Series A Preferred”). Each share of Series A Preferred is convertible into 1,000 shares of common stock, at the election of the holder, at any time. On any matter submitted to the holders of common stock for a vote or on which the holders of common stock have a right to vote, each share of Series A Preferred will have a number of votes equal to the number of shares of common stock into which the Series A Preferred is convertible. The Series A Preferred will vote together with the common stock as one class. The Series A Preferred will participate in any dividends, distributions or payments to the holders of the common stock on an as-converted basis. Series A Preferred is not entitled to receive any distribution of the Company’s assets or surplus funds upon a liquidation, merger or similar event.

On January 13, 2022, the Company entered into and closed upon a Share Exchange Agreement (the “ACV Agreement”) by and between the Company and ACV. Pursuant to the terms of the ACV Agreement, the Company acquired 88,800,191 shares of common stock from ACV in exchange for the issuance of 88,800 shares of Series A Preferred stock.

Also on January 13, 2022, the Company entered into and closed upon a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Leone Agreement”) by and between the Company and Leone. Pursuant to the terms of the Leone Agreement, the Company acquired 88,800,191 shares of common stock from Leone in exchange for the issuance of 88,800 shares of Series A Preferred.

Series A Preferred Redemptions

On February 18, 2022, the Company entered into and closed certain Redemption Agreements (each, a “Series A Redemption Agreement”), by and between the Company and ACV and Leone (together, the “Redeeming Series A Stockholders”). Pursuant to the terms of the Series A Redemption Agreements, each of the Redeeming Series A Stockholders sold, and the Company purchased, 80% of the Redeeming Series A Stockholders’ holdings of Series A Preferred, for an aggregate purchase price of $2.00.

On February 18, 2022, pursuant to the terms of the Series A Redemption Agreements, the Company paid an aggregate of $2.00 to the Redeeming Series A Stockholders in exchange for the transfer of a total of 142,080 shares of Series A Preferred (the “Redeemed Series A Shares”) to the Company. As a result of the Series A Redemption, the Redeemed Series A Shares were returned to the status of authorized and unissued shares of Series A Preferred Stock.

Following the Series A Redemption, ownership of the Series A Preferred was as follows:

The Series A Redemption Agreements will be null and void and the Redeemed Series A Shares will be reissued to the respective Redeeming Series A Stockholders if the Company does not raise at least $1.5 million in financing and enter into a definitive agreement for the acquisition of a blockchain based company within 12 months of February 18, 2022. As of October 26, 2022, the Company has satisfied the condition to enter into an agreement for the acquisition and has raised $860,000 in financing through the sale of 2,150,000 shares of Company’s common stock, at $0.40 per share.

2022 Common Stock Redemption Agreements

On February 18, 2022, the Company entered into certain Redemption Agreements (each, a “2022 Redemption Agreement” and collectively, the “2022 Redemption Agreements”), by and among the Company and each of the following holders of the Company’s common stock: Balance Labs, Aleksandr Rubin, Ronald Cons, Avon Road, 2018 Investor Trust, Congregation Boro Minyan, Rachel Jacobs, Jessica Beren, Aros, LLC, Lyons Capital, MACA, and J and K Ventures, LLC (collectively, the “2022 Redeeming Stockholders”). Pursuant to the terms of the 2022 Redemption Agreements, each of the 2022 Redeeming Stockholders agreed to sell, and the Company agreed to purchase, 80% of such 2022 Redeeming Stockholders’ common stock holdings at a purchase price of $0.00001 per share.

On February 18, 2022, pursuant to the terms of the 2022 Redemption Agreements, the Company paid an aggregate of $773.82 to the 2022 Redeeming Stockholders in exchange for the transfer of a total of 77,382,494 shares of common stock (the “2022 Redeemed Shares”), representing 80% of the shares of common stock held by the 2022 Redeeming Stockholders. As a result of the redemption, the 2022 Redeemed Shares were returned to the status of authorized and unissued shares of common stock.

The 2022 Redemption Agreements will be null and void and the 2022 Redeemed Shares will be reissued to the respective 2022 Redeeming Stockholders if the Company does not raise at least $1.5 million in financing and enter into a definitive agreement for the acquisition of a blockchain based company within 12 months of February 18, 2022. As of October 28, 2022, the Company has satisfied the condition to enter into an agreement for the acquisition and has raised $860,000 in financing through the sale of 2,150,000 shares of Company’s common stock, at $0.40 per share.

Organizational History of OpenLocker

RISK FACTORS

An investment in our securities carries a significant degree of risk. You should carefully consider the following risks, as well as the other information contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, including our historical financial statements and related notes included elsewhere herein, before you decide to purchase our securities. Any one of these risks and uncertainties has the potential to cause material adverse effects on our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results which could cause actual results to differ materially from any forward-looking statements expressed by us and a significant decrease in the value of our common shares and warrants. Refer to “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements”.

We may not be successful in preventing the material adverse effects that any of the following risks and uncertainties may cause. These potential risks and uncertainties may not be a complete list of the risks and uncertainties facing us. There may be additional risks and uncertainties that we are presently unaware of, or presently consider immaterial, that may become material in the future and have a material adverse effect on us. You could lose all or a significant portion of your investment due to any of these risks and uncertainties.

Below is a summary of material risks, uncertainties and other factors that could have a material effect on the Company and its operations:

Risks Related to Our Business and Industry

Risks Related to Cryptocurrency and Digital Assets

Risks Relating to NFTs

Risks Related to Our Common Stock

Risks Related to Our Business and Industry

Our OpenLocker subsidiary is an early-stage company with a limited operating history. Such limited operating history may not provide an adequate basis to judge our future prospects and results of operations.

OpenLocker was incorporated in Delaware on August 25, 2021. We have limited experience and a limited operating history in which to assess our future prospects as a company. In addition, the market for our products and services is highly competitive. If we fail to successfully develop and offer our products and services in an increasingly competitive market, we may not be able to capture the growth opportunities associated with them or recover our development and marketing costs, and our future results of operations and growth strategies could be adversely affected. Our limited history may not provide a meaningful basis for investors to evaluate our business, financial performance, and prospects.

Our current business model, including operating the OpenLocker subsidiary has a limited operating history. Such limited operating history may not provide an adequate basis to judge our future prospects and results of operations.

We pivoted into the blockchain based business in July 2021. We have limited experience in this business sector and a limited operating history in which to assess our future prospects as a company. In addition, the market for our products and services and Web3 in general is highly competitive. If we fail to successfully develop and offer our products and services in an increasingly competitive market, we may not be able to capture the growth opportunities associated with them or recover our development and marketing costs, and our future results of operations and growth strategies could be adversely affected. Our limited history may not provide a meaningful basis for investors to evaluate our business, financial performance, and prospects.

We may fail to successfully execute our business plan.

Our stockholders may lose their entire investment if we fail to execute our business plan. Our prospects must be considered in light of the following risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to, competition, the erosion of ongoing revenue streams, the ability to retain experienced personnel and general economic conditions. We cannot guarantee that we will be successful in executing our business plan. If we fail to successfully execute our business plan, we may be forced to cease operations, in which case our stockholders may lose their entire investment.

Since inception, we have experienced losses, and may have to further reduce our costs by curtailing future operations to continue as a business.

Since the original incorporation of OpenLocker on August 25, 2021, it has experienced operating losses. We have also experienced operating losses and in the last several years, prior to the acquisition of OpenLocker, have had no revenues. Our cash flow may be inadequate to support our ongoing operations. Our ability to fund our capital requirements out of our available cash and cash generated from our operations depends on a number of factors, including our ability to gain interest in our products and services and continue growing our existing operations and our ability to raise funds as needed. If we cannot generate positive cash flow from operations, we will have to reduce our costs and try to raise working capital from other sources. These measures could materially and adversely affect our ability to execute our operations and expand our business.

Our auditors have indicated that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Our auditors have indicated that there is a substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We had a loss from operations of $2,494,217 for the year ended July 31, 2022. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern ultimately is dependent on the management’s ability to obtain equity or debt financing, attain further operating efficiencies, and achieve profitable operations. Management intends to raise additional funds by way of a public or private offering. Management believes that the actions presently being taken to further implement its business plan and generate revenues provide the opportunity for our Company to continue as a going concern. While we believe in the viability of its strategy to generate revenues and in its ability to raise additional funds, there can be no assurances to that effect or the timeframe in which it may occur. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to further implement our business plan and generate revenues. For further discussion about our ability to continue as a going concern and our plan for future liquidity, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

We may suffer from lack of availability of additional funds.

We expect to have ongoing needs for working capital in order to fund operations and to continue to expand our operations. To that end, we will be required to raise additional funds through equity or debt financing. However, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in securing additional capital on favorable terms, if at all. If we are successful, whether the terms are favorable or unfavorable, there is a potential that we will fail to comply with the terms of such financing, which could result in severe liability for us. If we are unsuccessful, we may need to (a) initiate cost reductions; (b) forego business development opportunities; (c) seek extensions of time to fund liabilities, or (d) seek protection from creditors. In addition, any future sale of our equity securities would dilute the ownership and control of your shares and could be at prices substantially below prices at which our shares currently trade. Our inability to raise capital could require us to significantly curtail or terminate our operations altogether. We may seek to increase our cash reserves through the sale of additional equity or debt securities. The sale of convertible debt securities or additional equity securities could result in additional and potentially substantial dilution to our shareholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased debt service obligations and could result in operating and financing covenants that would restrict our operations and liquidity. In addition, our ability to obtain additional capital on acceptable terms is subject to a variety of uncertainties.

In addition, if we are unable to generate adequate cash from operations, and if we are unable to find sources of funding, it may be necessary for us to sell all or a portion of our assets, enter into a business combination, or reduce or eliminate operations. These possibilities, to the extent available, may be on terms that result in significant dilution to our shareholders or that result in our shareholders losing all of their investment in our Company.

Our management team’s attention may be diverted by acquisitions and searches for new acquisition targets, and our business and operations may suffer adverse consequences as a result.

Mergers and acquisitions are time intensive, requiring significant commitment of our management team’s focus and resources. If our management team spends too much time focused on acquisitions or on potential acquisition targets, the management team may not have sufficient time to focus on its existing business and operations. This diversion of attention could have material and adverse consequences on our operations and its ability to be profitable.

We may be unable to scale our operations successfully.

Our growth strategy will place significant demands on our management and financial, administrative and other resources. Operating results will depend substantially on the ability of our officers and key employees to manage changing business conditions and to implement and improve our financial, administrative and other resources. If OpenLocker is unable to respond to and manage changing business conditions, or the scale of its operations, then the quality of its services, its ability to retain key personnel, and its business could be harmed.

The current outbreak of the coronavirus may have a negative effect on our ability to conduct our business and operations and may also cause an overall decline in the economy as a whole and could materially harm us.

If the current outbreak of the coronavirus continues, the effects of such a widespread infectious disease and epidemic may inhibit our ability to conduct our business and operations and could materially harm our operations, including any in person fan events or experiences. The coronavirus may cause us to have to reduce operations as a result of various lock-down procedures enacted by the local, state or federal government. The continued coronavirus outbreak may also restrict our ability to raise funding when needed and may also cause an overall decline in the economy as a whole. The specific and actual effects of the spread of coronavirus are difficult to assess at this time as the actual effects will depend on many factors beyond our control and knowledge. However, the spread of the coronavirus, if it continues, may cause an overall decline in the economy as a whole and also may materially harm our business.

Economic conditions or changing consumer preferences could adversely impact our business.

A downturn in economic conditions in one or more of our markets could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition, business and prospects. Any sustained failure to identify and respond to trends could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition, business and prospects.

The requirements of remaining a public company may strain our resources and distract management, which could make it difficult to manage our business.

We are required to comply with various regulatory and reporting requirements, including those required by the SEC. Complying with these reporting and other regulatory requirements are time-consuming and expensive and could have a negative effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. We are required to comply with certain provisions of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”) including maintaining internal controls over financial reporting, and if we fail to continue to comply, our business could be harmed, and the price of our securities could decline.

Currently, our President’s law firm is providing legal services necessary to maintain our reporting obligations under the Exchange Act without charge. If our President were to leave or otherwise cease providing these services without charge, we could incur significant additional expenses which could harm our business.

We rely on technology, such as our information systems, to conduct our business. Failure to protect our technology against breakdowns and security breaches could adversely affect our business.

We rely on technology, such as our own information systems, vendors’ information systems and third-party application programming interfaces (APIs), to conduct our business. This technology is vulnerable to service interruptions and security breaches from inadvertent or intentional actions by our employees, partners and vendors, or from attacks by malicious third parties. Such attacks are of ever-increasing levels of sophistication and are made by groups and individuals with a wide range of motives and expertise, including organized criminal groups, “hacktivists,” identity thieves, nation states and others. The techniques used to breach security safeguards evolve rapidly, and they may be difficult to detect for an extended period of time, and the measures we take to safeguard our technology may not adequately prevent such incidents.

While we have taken steps to protect our confidential and personal information and invested in information technology, there can be no assurance that our efforts will prevent service interruptions or security breaches in our systems or the unauthorized or inadvertent wrongful use or disclosure of confidential information. Such incidents could adversely affect our business operations, reputation, and client relationships. Any such breach would require us to expend significant resources to mitigate the breach of security and to address matters related to any such breach, including the payment of fines. Although we maintain an insurance policy that covers data security, privacy liability and cyber-attacks, our insurance may not be adequate to cover losses arising from breaches or attacks on our systems. Insurance coverage may not be available in the future or may not be available at affordable prices. We also may be required to notify regulators about any actual or perceived personal data breach as well as the individuals who are affected by the incident within strict time periods.

Any actual or perceived failure of our platform to block malware or prevent failures or security breaches or incidents could harm our reputation, cause the platform to be perceived as insecure, underperforming, or unreliable, impede our efforts to attract and retain customers, and otherwise negatively impact our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We face security threats from malicious third parties that could obtain unauthorized access to our internal systems, networks and data. Computer malware, viruses and computer hacking, fraudulent use, social engineering (including spear phishing attacks) and general hacking have become more prevalent, and such incidents or incident attempts have been initiated against our customers in the past and may occur against our customers in the future. This risk is accentuated because hackers may be more inclined to hack us in anticipation of stealing our cryptocurrency. We may become the target of cyber-attacks by third parties seeking unauthorized access to our customers’ confidential data, which could disrupt our ability to provide some or all of the services on the platform or lead to exposure of customer information. Additionally, we use certain third-party service providers to store and process data on our behalf, and they face a variety of security risks. We have taken steps to protect customer information that might pass through our platform. However, our security measures or those of our third-party service providers could be breached or we could suffer data loss or unauthorized access to, or use of, our platform or the systems or networks used in our business.

It is virtually impossible for us to entirely mitigate the risk of these security threats, and the security, performance, and reliability of our platform may be disrupted by third parties, including competitors, hackers, disgruntled employees, former employees, or contractors. Certain kinds of viruses or malware can corrupt basic functionalities of device operating systems to allow hackers to access or misdirect our customers’ digital assets.

We also process, store and transmit our own data as part of our business and operations. This data may include personally identifiable, confidential or proprietary information, and we use third-party service providers to store and process certain data for us. There can be no assurance that any security measures that we or our third-party service providers have implemented will be effective against current or future security threats. While we take steps in an effort to protect the security of our platform and the availability, integrity, confidentiality and security of our data, our security measures or those of our third-party providers could fail and result in unauthorized access to or use of our platform or unauthorized, accidental or unlawful access to, or disclosure, modification, misuse, loss or destruction of, our or our customers’ data.

Whether or not accurate, a market perception that our platform is insecure, underperforming or unreliable could result in:

Any actual or perceived security breach or other incident may also lead to the expenditure of significant financial and other resources in efforts to investigate or correct a breach, address and eliminate vulnerabilities and prevent future security breaches or incidents, as well as the incurring of significant expenses for remediation that may include liability for stolen assets or information, repair of system damage that may have been caused, and other liabilities. We have incurred and expect to incur significant expenses in an effort to prevent security breaches and other incidents, including deploying additional personnel and protection technologies, training personnel and engaging third-party experts and consultants.

Furthermore, because data security is a competitive factor in our industry, we make statements publicly, including in our privacy policies and terms of service, providing assurances about the security of our platform, including descriptions of our security measures. Should any of these statements be untrue or become untrue, even though circumstances beyond our reasonable control, we may face claims, investigations or other proceedings by U.S. federal and state regulators, as well as foreign regulators and private parties.

If we fail to integrate our platform with a variety of software applications, operating systems, and platforms that are developed by others, our platform may become less marketable, less competitive or obsolete, and our business, operating results, and financial condition would be adversely impacted.

Our customers and prospective customers expect our platform to integrate with a variety of software systems, and we need to continuously modify and enhance our platform to adapt to changes in software, browser, and database technologies. In general, we rely heavily on the fact that the providers of such software systems continue to allow us access to their APIs to enable these customer integrations. In the future we expect to integrate our platform with additional third-party APIs and we anticipate that we will be unable to rely on long-term written contracts to govern our relationships with these providers and instead will be subject to the standard terms and conditions for application developers of such providers, which govern the distribution, operation, and fees of such software systems, and which are subject to change by such providers from time to time. As such, our business, operating results, and financial condition could be adversely impacted.

We may acquire other assets or businesses, or form collaborations or make investments in other companies or technologies that could harm our operating results, dilute our stockholders’ ownership, increase our debt or cause us to incur significant expense.

As part of our business strategy, we may pursue acquisitions of businesses and assets or enter into strategic alliances and collaborations, to initiate and then expand our operations. We may not identify or complete these transactions in a timely manner, on a cost-effective basis, or at all, and we may not realize the anticipated benefits of any such transaction, any of which could have a detrimental effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. We have limited experience with acquiring other companies and assets and limited experience with forming strategic alliances and collaborations. We may not be able to find suitable acquisition candidates, and if we make any acquisitions, we may not be able to integrate these acquisitions successfully into our existing business and we may incur additional debt or assume unknown or contingent liabilities in connection therewith. Integration of an acquired company or assets may also disrupt ongoing operations, require the hiring of additional personnel and the implementation of additional internal systems and infrastructure, especially the acquisition of commercial assets, and require management resources that would otherwise focus on developing our existing business. We may not be able to find suitable strategic alliances or collaboration partners or identify other investment opportunities, and we may experience losses related to any such investments.

To finance any acquisitions or collaborations, we may choose to issue debt or equity securities as consideration. Any such issuance of securities would dilute the ownership of our stockholders. If the price of our common stock is low or volatile, we may not be able to acquire other assets or companies or fund a transaction using our stock as consideration. Alternatively, it may be necessary for us to raise additional funds for acquisitions through public or private financings. Additional funds may not be available on terms that are favorable to us, or at all.

Because we do not have an audit or compensation committee, shareholders will have to rely on our entire Board of Directors to perform these functions.

We do not have an audit or compensation committee. These functions are performed by our Board of Directors of as a whole. 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 expect to face intense competition, often from companies with greater resources and experience than we have.

To acquire qualified companies, we are likely to face competition from companies that have substantially greater financial, technological, managerial and research and development resources and experience than we have. In addition, if we are successful in closing an acquisition of one or more target companies, these acquired companies are likely to face competition for their service and product offerings from large and well-established companies that have greater marketing and sales experience and capabilities than we have. If we are unable to compete successfully, we may be unable to grow, sustain our revenue or be successful in achieving our business plan.

Current global financial conditions have been characterized by increased volatility which could negatively impact our business, prospects, liquidity and financial condition.

Current global financial conditions and recent market events have been characterized by increased volatility and the resulting tightening of the credit and capital markets has reduced the amount of available liquidity and overall economic activity. We cannot guaranty that debt or equity financing, the ability to borrow funds or cash generated by operations will be available or sufficient to meet or satisfy our initiatives, objectives or requirements. Our inability to access sufficient amounts of capital on terms acceptable to it for its operations will negatively impact its business, prospects, liquidity and financial condition.

We are growing the size of our organization, and we may experience difficulties in managing any growth we may achieve.

As our growth plans proceed and development and commercialization plans and strategies develop, we expect to need additional development, managerial, operational, sales, marketing, financial, accounting, legal, and other resources. Future growth would impose significant added responsibilities on members of management. Our management may not be able to accommodate those added responsibilities, and our failure to do so could prevent us from effectively managing future growth, if any, and successfully growing our Company.

Our potential for rapid growth and our entry into new markets make it difficult for us to evaluate our current and future business prospects, and we may be unable to effectively manage any growth associated with these new markets, which may increase the risk of your investment and could harm our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flow.

Our entry into new markets as we seek to expand our business and seek to acquire complementary businesses may place a significant strain on our resources and increase demands on our executive management, personnel and systems, and our operational, administrative and financial resources may be inadequate. We may also not be able to effectively manage any expanded operations or achieve planned growth on a timely or profitable basis, particularly if the number of customers using our technology significantly increases or their demands and needs change as our business expands. If we are unable to manage expanded operations effectively, we may experience operating inefficiencies, the quality of our products and services could deteriorate, and our business and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

If we are unable to develop and maintain our brand and reputation for our service and product offerings, our business and prospects could be materially harmed.

Our business and prospects depend, in part, on developing and then maintaining and strengthening our brand and reputation in the markets we will serve and for the companies we acquire. If problems arise with our future products or services, our brand and reputation could be diminished. If we fail to develop, promote and maintain our brand and reputation successfully, our business and prospects could be materially harmed.

Any failure to protect our future intellectual property rights could impair our ability to protect our technology and our brand.

Our success depends in part on our ability to enforce our intellectual property and other proprietary rights of the companies we expect to acquire. We expect to rely upon a combination of trademark and trade secret laws, as well as license and other contractual provisions, to protect our intellectual property and other proprietary rights. These laws, procedures and restrictions provide only limited protection and any of our intellectual property rights may be challenged, invalidated, circumvented, infringed or misappropriated. To the extent that our intellectual property and other proprietary rights are not adequately protected, third parties may gain access to our proprietary information, develop and market products similar to ours or use trademarks similar to ours, each of which could materially harm our business. The failure to adequately protect our intellectual property and other proprietary rights could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our expansion into new products, services, technologies, and geographic regions subjects us to additional risks.

We may have limited or no experience in our newer markets, and our customers may not adopt our product or service offerings. These offerings, which can present new and difficult technology challenges, may subject us to claims if customers of these offerings experience service disruptions or failures or other quality issues. For example, the NFTs on which we have recently focused may prove to be speculative and not sustain the value they currently have to our clients. In addition, profitability, if any, in our newer activities may not meet our expectations, and we may not be successful enough in these newer activities to recoup our investments in them. Failure to realize the benefits of amounts we invest in new technologies, products, or services could result in the value of those investments being written down or written off.

The impact of epidemics or pandemics may limit our future business both from the demand and supply sides. Our sale people may not be able to effectively engage with customers due to restrictions on travel, conferences and in-person meetings. Our supply chain may be impacted by production and distribution delays. Due to these factors, we may limit future operations to reduce expenses until events support and allow normal business procedures.

Our current business and future acquired businesses and/or operations both domestic and abroad, and the businesses of our potential customers could be materially and adversely affected by the risks, or the public perception of the risks, related to a pandemic or other health crisis, such as the outbreak of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) as well as the variants.

The growth of the businesses we acquire may, in part, be reliant on the willingness of customers to invest in their products and solutions. The risk, or public perception of the risk, of a pandemic or media coverage of infectious diseases could cause customers to avoid purchases which would delay sales of those products and solutions.

Our financial results fluctuate and may be difficult to forecast, and this may cause a decline in the trading price of our stock.

Our revenues, expenses and operating results are difficult to predict given our limited history of current operations. We expect that our operating results will continue to fluctuate in the future due to a number of factors, some of which are beyond our control. These factors include, but are not limited to:

Due to all of these factors, our operating results may fall below the expectations of investors, which could cause a decline in the trading price of our common stock.

We intend to make acquisitions that could disrupt our operations and adversely impact our business and operating results.

We intend to attempt to acquire complementary Web3 businesses and to support the transition and integration of acquired operations with our ongoing business as a part of our growth strategy. Other than as disclosed herein, we currently have no binding commitments or agreements with respect to any such acquisitions and there can be no assurance that we will eventually consummate any acquisitions. The process of integrating acquired assets into our operations may result in unforeseen operating difficulties and expenditures and may absorb significant management attention that would otherwise be available for the ongoing development of our business. In addition, we have limited experience in performing acquisitions and managing growth. There can be no assurance that the anticipated benefits of any acquisition will be realized. In addition, future acquisitions could result in potentially dilutive issuances of equity securities, the incurrence of debt and contingent liabilities and amortization expenses related to goodwill and other intangible assets, any of which could materially and adversely affect our operating results and financial position. In addition, acquisitions also involve other risks, including risks inherent in entering markets in which we have no or limited prior experience and the potential loss of key employees.

Our plans for expansion cannot be implemented if we lose our key personnel or cannot recruit additional personnel.

We depend substantially on the continued services, specialized knowledge and performance of our senior management, particularly but not limited to Howard Gostfrand, Laura Anthony, Brian Klatsky, Lauren Klatsky, Kemah E. P. Washington, and Rafi Goldman . We do not have employment agreements with these individuals, and they could terminate their employment with us at any time. As a result, these officers may elect to pursue other opportunities at any time. If one or more of these individuals choose to leave our Company, we may lose a significant number of relationships and operating expertise which they have developed over many years and which would be difficult to replace. The loss of the services of any executive officer or other key employee could hurt our business.

In addition, as our business expands, we will need to add new information technology and engineering personnel to maintain and expand our systems and customer support personnel to serve our growing customer base. If we are unable to hire and successfully train employees or contractors in these areas, users of our platform may have negative experiences and we may lose customers, which would diminish the value of our brand and harm our business. The market for recruiting qualified information technology and other personnel is extremely competitive, and we may experience difficulties in attracting and retaining employees. Should we fail to retain or attract qualified personnel, we may not be able to compete successfully or implement our plans for expansion.

We have an evolving business model with still untested growth initiatives.

We have an evolving business model and intend to implement new strategies to grow our business in the future. Among other strategies for organic growth, we intend to recruit partners to sell our NFT products and other digital assets. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in developing new product categories or in entering new specialty markets or in implementing any other growth strategies. Similarly, there can be no assurance that we already have or will be able to obtain or retain any employees, consultants or other resources with any specialized skills or relationships to successfully implement our strategies in the future.

We rely on third-party systems to conduct our business and relationships with payment processors, advertisers, third party sellers of our NFTs, and our revenues and market share may decrease if these third-party relationship and systems are unavailable in the future or if they no longer offer quality performance.

We rely on third-party computer systems and third-party service providers, including payment services such as Stripe, and Wyre for credit card verifications and confirmations, to host our website and to advertise and deliver the products sold on our website to customers. We also rely on third-party licenses for components of the software underlying our technology platform. Any interruption in our ability to obtain the products or services of these or other third parties or deterioration in their performance could impair the timing and quality of our own service. If our service providers fail to deliver high-quality services in a timely manner to our customers, our services will not meet the expectations of our customers and our reputation and brand will be damaged. Furthermore, if our arrangements with any of these third parties are terminated, we may not find an alternate source of systems support on a timely basis or on terms as advantageous to us. In addition, our contracts or arrangements with suppliers do not provide for the continuation of particular pricing practices, for the availability of any specific services and generally may be terminated by either party. If we are unable to develop and maintain relationships with these third-party suppliers that will allow us to obtain sufficient levels of service on acceptable commercial terms, such inability could harm our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

We are subject to cyber security risks and risks of data loss or other security breaches.

Our business involves the storage and transmission of users’ proprietary information, and security breaches could expose us to a risk of loss or misuse of this information, and to resulting claims, fines, and litigation. We have been subjected to a variety of cyber-attacks, which have increased in number and variety over time. We believe our systems are probed by potential hackers virtually 24/7, and we expect the problem will continue to grow worse over time. Cyber-attacks may target us, our customers, our suppliers, banks, credit card processors, delivery services, e-commerce in general or the communication infrastructure on which we depend. Any compromise of our security could result in a violation of applicable privacy and other laws, significant legal and financial exposure, damage to our reputation, and a loss of confidence in our security measures, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial results and business. Moreover, any insurance coverage we may carry may be inadequate to cover the expenses and other potential financial exposure we could face as a result of a cyber-attack or data breach.

We may not be able to compete successfully against existing or future competitors including larger, well-established and well-financed NFT companies.

Many of our current and potential competitors have longer operating histories, larger customer bases, greater brand recognition and significantly greater financial, marketing and other resources than we do. In addition, some of our competitors may be able to devote greater resources to marketing and promotional campaigns, adopt more aggressive pricing and devote substantially more resources to systems development than we do. Increased competition may result in reduced operating margins, loss of market share and a diminished brand franchise. We cannot provide assurance that we will be able to compete successfully against existing or future competitors.

Our business depends on effective marketing, including marketing via email and social networking messaging, and we intend to increase our spending on marketing and branding, which may adversely affect our financial results.

We depend on effective marketing to attract customers and merchants. We depend on email and social networking messaging to promote our site and offerings and to generate a substantial portion of our revenues. If we are unable to develop, implement and maintain effective and efficient cost-effective advertising and marketing programs, it would have a material adverse effect on our financial results and business. Further, as part of our growth strategies, we intend to increase our spending on marketing and branding initiatives significantly, which may adversely affect our financial results. There is no assurance that any increase in our marketing or branding expenditures will result in increased market shares or will ultimately have a positive effect on our financial results.

If we do not respond to rapid technological changes, our services could become obsolete and we could lose customers.

To remain competitive, we must continue to enhance and improve the functionality and features of our NFT platform and design studio businesses. We may face material delays in introducing new services, products and enhancements. If this happens, our customers may forego the use of our platform and use those of our competitors. If competitors introduce new products and services using new technologies or if new industry standards and practices emerge, our existing technology and systems may become obsolete. Our failure to respond to technological change or to adequately maintain, upgrade and develop our computer network and the systems used to process customers’ orders and payments could harm our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

Use of social media may adversely impact our reputation.

There has been a marked increase in the use of social media platforms and similar devices, including blogs, social media websites and other forms of internet-based communications that allow individuals access to a broad audience of consumers and other interested persons. Consumers value readily available information concerning retailers, manufacturers, and their goods and services and often act on such information without further investigation, authentication and without regard to its accuracy. The availability of information on social media platforms and devices is virtually immediate as is its impact. Social media platforms and devices immediately publish the content their subscribers and participants post, often without filters or checks on accuracy of the content posted. The opportunity for dissemination of information, including inaccurate information, is seemingly limitless and readily available. Information concerning our company may be posted on such platforms and devices at any time. Information posted may be adverse to our interests, may be inaccurate, and may harm our performance, prospects or business. The harm may be immediate without affording us an opportunity for redress or correction. Such platforms also could be used for the dissemination of trade secret information or otherwise compromise valuable company assets, all of which could harm our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

Risks Related to Digital Assets

Whether a particular non-fungible token (NFT) or other crypto assets is a “security” in any relevant jurisdiction is subject to a high degree of uncertainty, and if we are unable to properly characterize an NFT or other crypto asset, we may be subject to regulatory scrutiny, inquiries, investigations, fines, and other penalties, which may adversely affect our business, operating results, and financial condition.

The SEC and its staff have taken the position that certain crypto assets (which includes NFTs) fall within the definition of a “security” under the U.S. federal securities laws. The legal test for determining whether any given crypto asset is a security is a highly complex, fact-driven analysis that evolves over time, and the outcome is difficult to predict. The SEC generally does not provide advance guidance or confirmation on the status of any particular crypto asset as a security. Furthermore, the SEC’s views in this area have evolved over time and it is difficult to predict the direction or timing of any continuing evolution. It is also possible that a change in the governing administration or the appointment of new SEC commissioners could substantially impact the views of the SEC and its staff. For example, Chair Gary Gensler has repeatedly remarked on the need for further regulatory oversight on crypto assets, crypto trading, and lending platforms by the SEC. Public statements by senior officials at the SEC indicate that the SEC does not intend to take the position that Bitcoin or Ethereum are securities (in their current form). Bitcoin and Ethereum are the only crypto assets as to which senior officials at the SEC have publicly expressed such a view. Moreover, such statements are not official policy statements by the SEC and reflect only the speakers’ views, which are not binding on the SEC or any other agency or court and cannot be generalized to any other crypto asset. With respect to all other crypto assets, there is currently no certainty under the applicable legal test that such assets are not securities, notwithstanding the conclusions we may draw based on our risk-based assessment regarding the likelihood that a particular crypto asset could be deemed a “security” under applicable laws. Similarly, though the SEC’s Strategic Hub for Innovation and Financial Technology published a framework for analyzing whether any given crypto asset is a security in April 2019, this framework is also not a rule, regulation or statement of the SEC and is not binding on the SEC.

Several foreign jurisdictions have taken a broad-based approach to classifying crypto assets as “securities,” while other foreign jurisdictions, such as Switzerland, Malta, and Singapore, have adopted a narrower approach. As a result, certain crypto assets may be deemed to be a “security” under the laws of some jurisdictions but not others. Various foreign jurisdictions may, in the future, adopt additional laws, regulations, or directives that affect the characterization of crypto assets as “securities.”

The classification of a crypto asset as a security under applicable law has wide-ranging implications for the regulatory obligations that flow from the offer and sale of such assets. For example, a crypto asset that is a security in the United States may generally only be offered or sold in the United States pursuant to a registration statement filed with the SEC or in an offering that qualifies for an exemption from registration. Persons that effect transactions in crypto assets that are securities in the United States may be subject to registration with the SEC as a “broker” or “dealer.” Platforms that bring together purchasers and sellers to trade crypto assets that are securities in the United States are generally subject to registration as national securities exchanges, or must qualify for an exemption, such as by being operated by a registered broker-dealer as an ATS in compliance with rules for ATSs. Persons facilitating clearing and settlement of securities may be subject to registration with the SEC as a clearing agency. Foreign jurisdictions may have similar licensing, registration, and qualification requirements.

We have policies and procedures to analyze whether each NFT that we seek to facilitate listing and sale on our platform could be deemed to be a “security” under applicable laws. Our policies and procedures do not constitute a legal standard but rather represent our company-developed model, which permits us to make a risk-based assessment regarding the likelihood that a particular NFT could be deemed a “security” under applicable laws. Regardless of our conclusions, we could be subject to legal or regulatory action in the event the SEC, a state or foreign regulatory authority, or a court were to determine that an NFT listed and sold on our platform is a “security” under applicable laws. Because our platform is not registered or licensed with the SEC or foreign authorities as a broker-dealer, national securities exchange, or ATS (or foreign equivalents), and we do not seek to register or rely on an exemption from such registration or license to facilitate the offer and sale of NFTs on our platform, we only permit listing on our platform of those NFTs for which we determine there are reasonably strong arguments to conclude that the NFT is not a security. We believe that our process reflects a comprehensive and thoughtful analysis and is reasonably designed to facilitate consistent application of available legal guidance to crypto assets to facilitate informed risk-based business judgment. However, we recognize that the application of securities laws to the specific facts and circumstances of crypto assets may be complex and subject to change, and that a listing determination does not guarantee any conclusion under the U.S. federal securities laws. We expect our risk assessment policies and procedures to continuously evolve to take into account case law, facts, and developments in technology.

There can be no assurances that we will properly characterize any given NFT as a security or non-security for purposes of determining whether our platform will allow the listing of such NFT, or that the SEC, foreign regulatory authority, or a court, if the question was presented to it, would agree with our assessment. If the SEC, state or foreign regulatory authority, or a court were to determine that NFTs offered or sold on our platform are securities, we would not be able to offer such NFTs until we are able to do so in a compliant manner. A determination by the SEC, a state or foreign regulatory authority, or a court that an NFT listed and sold on our platform was a security may also result in us determining that it is advisable to remove NFTs from our platform that have similar characteristics to the NFT that was determined to be a security. In addition, we could be subject to judicial or administrative sanctions for failing to offer or sell the NFT in compliance with the registration requirements, or for acting as a broker, dealer, or national securities exchange without appropriate registration. Such an action could result in injunctions, cease and desist orders, as well as civil monetary penalties, fines, and disgorgement, criminal liability, and reputational harm. Customers that purchased such NFTs on our platform and suffered losses could also seek to rescind a transaction that we facilitated as the basis that it was conducted in violation of applicable law, which could subject us to significant liability. We may also be required to cease facilitating transactions in other similar NFTs, which could negatively impact our business, operating results, and financial condition.

We rely on third party platforms to operate our NFT Marketplace.

We rely on third-party platforms and software providers such as MetaMask and OpenSea to operate our NFT marketplace and perform auctions of NFTs. If we are unable to maintain a good relationship with such platform providers; if the terms and conditions or pricing of such platform providers change; if we violate or cannot comply with the terms and conditions of such platforms; or if any such platform loses market share or falls out of favor or is unavailable for a prolonged period of time, access to and use of our NFT marketplace will suffer.

There are risks associated with operating a marketplace for NFTs.

The regulatory regime governing blockchain technologies, cryptocurrencies, and tokens is uncertain, and new regulations or policies may materially affect our NFT marketplace and our business generally. There are risks associated with marketplaces for NFTs that sell user generated content, including but not limited to, counterfeit assets, intellectual property violations, unregistered sales of securities, assets on smart contracts with bugs, and assets that may become untransferable. These risks could create liability and have an adverse effect on the Company.

Our risk management efforts may not be effective to prevent fraudulent activities by third-party providers or other parties, which could expose us to material financial losses and liability and otherwise harm our business.

We contract with third-party providers for applications available through our platform, as well as some services required to maintain the platform. We may be targeted by parties, including customers, hackers, or third-party providers, who seek to commit acts of financial fraud using techniques such as stolen identities and bank accounts, compromised email accounts, employee or insider fraud, account takeover, or other types of fraud. We may suffer losses from acts of financial fraud committed by our employees or third parties.

The techniques used to perpetrate fraud on our platform and the applications accessed through our platform are continually evolving, and we expend considerable resources to monitor and combat them, and to inform customers of the limits to the control we have over third-party provider activities. Additionally, when we introduce new products and applications, or expand existing products, we may not be able to identify all risks created by the new products or applications. Our risk management policies and procedures may not be sufficient to identify all of the risks to which we or our customers are exposed, to enable us to prevent or mitigate the risks we have identified, or to identify additional risks to which we or our customers may become subject in the future. Furthermore, our risk management policies and procedures may contain errors, or our employees or agents may commit mistakes or errors in judgment as a result of which we may suffer large financial losses.

The growth of our business will continue to place significant demands on our risk management efforts, and we will need to continue developing and improving our existing risk management policies and procedures. As techniques used to perpetrate fraud on our platform evolve, we may need to modify our platform, services or agreements with third parties to mitigate fraud risks. Further, these types of fraudulent activities on our platform can also expose us to civil and criminal liability, governmental and regulatory sanctions as well as potentially cause us to be in breach of our contractual obligations to our third-party providers.

Digital assets were only introduced within the past decade, and our success will be impacted by number of factors relating to the capabilities and development of blockchain technologies and to the fundamental investment characteristics of digital assets.

Digital assets (such as cryptocurrencies) were only introduced within the past decade, and the medium-to-long term value of such assets is subject to a number of factors relating to the capabilities and development of blockchain technologies, such as the nascency of their development, their dependence on the internet and other technologies, their dependence on the role played by users, developers and miners and the potential for malicious activity. As our primary business plan involves dealing directly with digital assets, the realization of one or more of the following risks could materially adversely affect our business:

Moreover, because digital assets, have been in existence for a short period of time and are continuing to develop, there may be additional risks in the future that are impossible to predict at this time.

Digital assets represent a new and rapidly evolving industry, and the value of OpenLocker depends significantly on the acceptance of digital assets as payment, such as cryptocurrencies.

Cryptographic and algorithmic protocols governing the issuance of digital assets represent a new and rapidly evolving industry that is subject to a variety of factors that are difficult to evaluate. For example, the realization of one or more of the following risks could materially adversely affect our value:

Changes in the governance of a digital asset network may not receive sufficient support from users and miners, which may negatively affect that digital asset network’s ability to grow and respond to challenges.

The governance of decentralized networks, such as the Bitcoin and Ethereum networks, is by voluntary consensus and open competition. As a result, there may be a lack of consensus or clarity on the governance of any particular decentralized digital asset network, which may stymie such network’s utility and ability to grow and face challenges. The foregoing notwithstanding, the protocols for some decentralized networks are informally managed by a group of core developers that propose amendments to the relevant network’s source code. Core developers’ roles evolve over time, largely based on self-determined participation. If a significant majority of users and miners adopt amendments to a decentralized network based on the proposals of such core developers, such network will be subject to new protocols that may adversely affect the value of the relevant digital asset.

As a result of the foregoing, it may be difficult to find solutions or marshal sufficient effort to overcome any future problems, especially long-term problems, on digital asset networks.

Digital assets may have concentrated ownership and large sales or distributions by holders of such digital assets could have an adverse effect on the market price of such digital asset.

As of December 31, 2021, the largest 100 Bitcoin wallets held approximately 15% of the digital assets in circulation. Moreover, it is possible that other persons or entities control multiple wallets that collectively hold a significant number of digital assets, even if they individually only hold a small amount, and it is possible that some of these wallets are controlled by the same person or entity. As a result of this concentration of ownership, large sales or distributions by such holders could have an adverse effect on the market price of digital assets, increasing risk for investment in our Company.

Certain cryptocurrencies may rely on a public or third-party blockchain and the success of such blockchain may have a direct impact on the success and value of cryptocurrencies held by us.

Some cryptocurrencies are built on existing third-party blockchains and are partly dependent on the effectiveness and success of such blockchains, as well as the success of other blockchain and decentralized data storage systems that are being used by the issuer of the cryptocurrencies. There is no guarantee that any of these systems or will continue to exist or be successful. This could lead to disruptions of our operations and could negatively affect us.

Digital assets held by us may be negatively affected by technological advances that undermine the cryptographic consensus mechanism underpinning blockchain and distributed ledger protocols.

Advances in cryptography or technical advances such as the development of quantum computing could present risks to the viability of digital asset by undermining or vitiating the cryptographic consensus mechanism that underpins blockchain and distributed ledger protocols. Similarly, legislatures and regulatory agencies could prohibit the use of current and/or future cryptographic protocols which could limit the use of cryptocurrencies, resulting in a significant loss of value for our shareholders.

Risks Relating to NFTs

The market for NFTs is relatively new and subject to significant volatility.

The valuation of NFTs depends considerably on scarcity and the perception of potential and existing owners and buyers of an NFT’s worth and each other, along with other cultural factors and the exclusivity and availability of distribution channels. It is extremely difficult to anticipate the market for an NFT, however the value of NFTs, like many other digital assets, may change substantially and in a rapid and unpredictable manner. NFTs are a hard-to-value asset and valuation methodology is still developing. As such, the valuations of the NFTs held and sold by us may change significantly over time. Additionally, a decline in the market for collectible NFTs generally or specific types of NFT collectibles, or adverse market conditions generally (due to general economic conditions, market preferences or cultural factors) would result in either the failure of our NFT collectibles to maintain or increase in value or alternatively a decrease in value of our NFT collectibles compared to the acquisition price. There is a limited basis for us to evaluate the possible merits or risks of offering any particular NFT product or service. For these and additional reasons, offering NFT products and services, are speculative and involve a high degree of risk.

NFT collectibles may be a relatively illiquid asset.

While many digital assets can be bought and sold easily, in the case of NFT collectibles, we will need to identify buyers who are willing to pay a certain price for a particular, one-of-a-kind item. If we elect to dispose of an NFT collectible through an auction house, commissions will be to the auction house that will reduce our returns. In addition, following a sale at auction, a successful bidder may fail to pay in accordance with the timescales laid down by the relevant auction house resulting in either (i) delayed payment by said bidder; or (ii) the need for us to sell the work either privately, via a gallery or at a subsequent auction, in either case resulting in losses for us.

There may be virtual currency tax implications.

On March 25, 2014, the Internal Revenue Service (the “Service”) issued a notice regarding certain U.S. federal tax implications of transactions in, or transactions that use, “virtual currency” (the “Notice”). According to the Notice, virtual currency is treated as property, not currency, for U.S. federal tax purposes, and “general tax principles applicable to property transactions apply to transactions using virtual currency”. In part, the Notice provides that the character of gain or loss from the sale or exchange of virtual currency depends on whether the virtual currency is a capital asset in the hands of the taxpayer. Accordingly, in the United States, certain transactions in virtual currency are taxable events and subject to information reporting to the Service to the same extent as any other payment made in property.

Additionally, the Service recently issued a revenue ruling regarding certain tax consequences of “hard forks” and “airdrops” of a virtual currency (the “Revenue Ruling”). The Revenue Ruling provides that a taxpayer does not have gross income as a result of a hard fork of a virtual currency the taxpayer owns if the taxpayer does not receive units of a new virtual currency. However, an airdrop of a new virtual currency following a hard fork generally results in ordinary income to the taxpayer if the taxpayer receives units of new cryptocurrency.

Although the Service has issued the Notice and the Revenue Ruling, the U.S. Department of Treasury and the Service may publish future guidance that provides for adverse tax consequences to our Company. Those tax laws and regulations change on an ongoing basis and that they may be changed with retroactive effect. Moreover, the interpretation and application of tax laws and regulations by certain tax authorities may not be clear, consistent or transparent. As a result, the U.S. federal tax consequences impacting us are uncertain, and our net asset value at the time any subscriptions, withdrawal or exchanges of Interests occur may not accurately reflect our direct or indirect tax liabilities, including on any historical realized or unrealized gains (including those tax liabilities that are imposed with retroactive effect). In addition, our net asset value at the time any subscriptions, withdrawals or exchanges of Interests occur may reflect a direct or indirect accrual for tax liabilities, including estimates of such tax liabilities, that may not ultimately be paid. Accounting standards may also change, creating an obligation for our Company to accrue for a tax liability that was not previously required to be accrued for or in situations in which it is not expected that we will directly or indirectly be ultimately subject to such tax liability.

Risks Related to Our Common Stock

Our common stock is subject to risks arising from restrictions on reliance on Rule 144 by shell companies or former shell companies.

Under a regulation of the SEC known as “Rule 144,” a person who beneficially owns restricted securities of an issuer and who is not an affiliate of that issuer may sell them without registration under the Securities Act provided that certain conditions have been met. One of these conditions is that such person has held the restricted securities for a prescribed period, which will be six months for the common stock. However, Rule 144 is unavailable for the resale of securities issued by an issuer that is a shell company (other than a business combination related shell company) or, unless certain conditions are met, that has been at any time previously a shell company.

The SEC defines a shell company as a company that has (a) no or nominal operations and (b) either (i) no or nominal assets, (ii) assets consisting solely of cash and cash equivalents; or (iii) assets consisting of any amount of cash and cash equivalents and nominal other assets.

As a result of a transaction reported on Form 8-K on August 4, 2021, we ceased being a shell company as such term is defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act. While we believe that we ceased to be a shell company, the SEC and others whose approval is required in order for shares to be sold under Rule 144 might take a different view.

Rule 144 is available for the resale of securities of former shell companies if and for as long as the following conditions are met:

Our common stock price may decrease due to factors beyond our control.

The stock market from time to time has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations, which have particularly affected the market prices for early-stage companies and which often have been unrelated to the operating performance of the companies. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of our stock. If Descrypto’s stockholders sell substantial amounts of their stock in the public market, the price of our stock could fall. These sales also might make it more difficult for us to sell equity, or equity-related securities, in the future at a price we deem appropriate.

The market price of our stock may also fluctuate significantly in response to the following factors, most of which are beyond our control:

Any such fluctuations may adversely affect the market price or value of our common stock, regardless of our actual operating performance. As a result, stockholders may be unable to sell their shares, or may be forced to sell them at a loss.

Our common stock is subject to the application of the “penny stock” rules which could adversely affect the market price of our common stock and increase transaction costs to sell those shares.

The SEC has adopted rule 3a51-1 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 or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, Rule 15g-9 requires:

In order to approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must:

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:

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 and cause a decline in the market value of our stock.

The market price for our common stock is particularly volatile, which could lead to wide fluctuations in our share price. You may be unable to sell your common stock shares at or above your purchase price, or at all, which may result in substantial losses to you.

The market for our common stock is 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. As a consequence of this enhanced risk, more risk-adverse 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 stock of a seasoned issuer. Many of these factors are beyond our control and may decrease the market price of our common shares, regardless of our operating performance. We cannot make any predictions or projections as to what the prevailing market price for our common stock shares will be at any time, or if our common stock shares will ever be able to trade, or as to what effect the sale of shares or the availability of common stock shares for sale at any time will have on the prevailing market price.

We do not intend to pay dividends for the foreseeable future.

We have never declared nor paid any cash dividends on our stock and do not intend to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. We anticipate that we will retain all of our future earnings for use in the development of our business and for general corporate purposes. Any determination to pay dividends in the future will be at the discretion of our Board.

If we are unable to comply with the financial reporting requirements mandated by the SEC’s regulations, investors may lose confidence in our financial reporting and the price of our common stock could decline.

If we fail to maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting, our ability to produce timely, accurate and reliable periodic financial statements could be impaired. If we do not maintain adequate internal control over financial reporting, investors could lose confidence in the accuracy of our periodic reports filed under the Exchange Act. Additionally, our ability to obtain additional financing could be impaired or a lack of investor confidence in the reliability and accuracy of its public reporting could cause our stock price to decline.

Not applicable.

Our principal executive offices are located at to 625 N. Flagler Drive, Suite 600, West Palm Beach, Florida 33401. This office space is provided to us at no charge by one of our executive officers and directors. In addition, OpenLocker maintains an office at 320 Broad Street, Red Bank, NJ 07701. The lease for OpenLocker’s office is for an initial term of two years at $500 per month. The lease does not contain any renewal options. During the period September 1, 2021 through May 31, 2022, no rent was due. The Company is required to pay a total of $7,500 over a 15-month period from June 1, 2022 through August 31, 2023. The Company is leasing the office space from a family member of OpenLocker’s Chief Executive Officer. We believe that these properties are adequate to support the Company’s existing operations and that we will be able to obtain appropriate additional facilities or alternative facilities on commercially reasonable terms if and when necessary.

From time to time, we are involved in various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. To the knowledge of our management, there are no legal proceedings currently pending against us which we believe would have a material effect on our business, financial position or results of operations and, to the best of our knowledge, there are no such legal proceedings contemplated or threatened.

PART II

Price Range of Securities

Since October 2022, our common stock has traded on the OTCQB tier of OTC Market Group LLC’s Marketplace under the symbol “DSRO.” Prior to April 2022, our common stock traded under the symbol “WTCG.”

The OTC Market is a network of security dealers who buy and sell stock. The dealers are connected by a computer network that provides information on current “bids” and “asks,” as well as volume information. The trading of securities on the OTC Pink is often sporadic and investors may have difficulty buying and selling our shares or obtaining market quotations for them, which may have a negative effect on the market price of our common stock.

The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated the high and low bid quotations for our common stock. These quotations represent inter-dealer quotations, without adjustment for retail markup, markdown, or commission and may not represent actual transactions.

On October 28, 2022, the closing price of our common stock was $0.53. As of October 28, 2022, we had 38,637,506 shares of common stock issued and outstanding.

Holders

As of October 28, 2022, there were approximately 513 holders of record of our common stock.

Dividends

The Company has not paid any dividends on its common stock to date. The existing covenants under certain of our credit facilities also place limits on our ability to issue dividends and repurchase stock.

It is the present intention of the Company to retain any earnings for use in its business operations and, accordingly, the Company does not anticipate the board of directors declaring any dividends in the foreseeable future on our common stock. Consequently, you will only realize an economic gain on your investment in our common stock if the price appreciates. You should not purchase our common stock expecting to receive cash dividends. Since we do not anticipate paying dividends, and if we are not successful in establishing an orderly public trading market for our shares, then you may not have any manner to liquidate or receive any payment on your investment. Therefore, our failure to pay dividends may cause you to not see any return on your investment even if we are successful in our business operations. In addition, because we may not pay dividends in the foreseeable future, we may have trouble raising additional funds which could affect our ability to expand our business operations.

Business of OpenLocker

Established on August 25, 2021, OpenLocker is dedicated to offering marketing solutions for collegiate and professional sports organizations and athletes using non-fungible tokens (NFTs) to create more immersive experiences for fans. The OpenLocker platform is designed to offer a seamless experience for users who have no prior experience buying or trading digital tokens. Utilizing the Flow blockchain, a fast, scalable and reliable blockchain, OpenLocker is able to use less energy than some other blockchains including Ethereum.

OpenLocker connects the digital and the physical worlds by offering real world utility and a physical token of ownership to fans who purchase a digital collectible on its Web3 platform. The limited-edition Platinum Cards are wallet-sized, metal collectible cards that are hand-signed by the athlete and feature the digital art on one side and QR code on the back which directs to the digital viewer. The digital and physical collectibles will grant access to VIP experiences and enable fans to receive rewards from local, regional and national retailers.

The fan communities in development will feature unique branding and strategic marketing campaigns to bolster fan awareness without the use of university-licensed marks. For instance, the Radford University fan community has been dubbed the Rowdy Redz to pay homage to the school’s rich history while incorporating a fun and edgy feel. OpenLocker collects feedback from student-athletes and die-hard fans to create the collectibles, experiences and utility that will resonate with each fan base.

The OpenLocker mission is to empower athletes to monetize their fan engagement with innovative digital collectibles and to create meaningful experiences for fans by using OpenLocker’s technology to build communities. Each digital token is authenticated on the blockchain with a unique serial number which is assigned to the buyer upon purchase. The selection and pricing of each collection is determined by such factors as the size of the target audience, the athlete’s popularity, and associated utility and goals set forth by the community manager. To further engage super fans and boosters, as well as increase athlete’s earning potential, a one-of-one NFT may also be offered for sale by auction and includes autographed gear/ memorabilia and personalized experiences (meet-and-greet or customized activity) with the athlete, arranged by OpenLocker with the athlete’s input and approval.

The Bone Yard Huskyz Club (BYHC) was created by OpenLocker in January 2022 for the University of Connecticut using the Name, Image and Likeness (NIL) of all 14 eligible members of the men’s basketball team as a proof of concept. The OpenLocker creative team designed a BYHC logo and Huskyz avatar (a takeoff on the university’s Huskies mascot) in the likeness of each of the athletes which were used for branding and promotional purposes. A website with a project roadmap outlining the perks and rewards of club membership was activated two weeks prior to the NFT release date, which was strategically timed around the basketball team’s season schedule. OpenLocker’s comprehensive marketing campaign included digital programmatic advertising, organic and paid social media strategy (including pre- and post-drop Twitter conversations with fans, blockchain experts, athletes and parents of athletes), podcasts, email blasts and gorilla marketing at several home basketball games. The OpenLocker athlete liaison also provided the athletes with graphics and talking points they could use to leverage their social media followers and promote sales of their own NFTs by word-of-mouth.

A majority of the revenue from the BYHC project was generated on the first day of sales of the NFTs. The first two hours were the busiest as fans were incentivized by the free autographed “Platinum card” that was included with purchase for the first 25 NFTs sold per athlete. This unique collectible is a metal, wallet-sized card hand-signed by the athlete with the digital art printed on the front and quick response (QR) code that directs to the NFT viewer on the back. Another stream of revenue was generated in March 2022 as the University of Connecticut basketball team wrapped up their regular season and played post-season tournaments.

OpenLocker’s plan is to take the exclusive fan club model (Bone Yard Huskyz Club), originally created for the University of Connecticut, to other universities in partnership with independent groups working to provide college athletes with NIL opportunities. Since the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) changed its policy to allow college athletes to benefit from their NIL, alumni and boosters are eager to raise funds in a way that meets NCAA, state and university compliance requirements. OpenLocker anticipates expanding to four to six more colleges in the third quarter of 2022 (prior to the start of the fall football season) and another four to six colleges in the fourth quarter of 2022 (to coincide with basketball pre-season).

OpenLocker’s current revenue model includes (i) profit sharing of primary sales on the OpenLocker platform with partners and athletes, (ii) collecting transaction fees from transactions on OpenLocker’s trading portal, as well as (iii) service fees for additional creative design work, development and product fulfillment services.

OpenLocker has also negotiated deals with several professional lacrosse players to release an NFT collection leading into the 2022 Premier Lacrosse League season. OpenLocker plans to open an online portal for individual athletes to create and sell their own NFT collections and physical collectibles by the third quarter of 2022. While OpenLocker currently does not have licensing agreements with any professional sports leagues, teams or institutions, OpenLocker anticipates finalizing one or more such deals by the end of 2022 and into 2023. However, there can be no assurance that the foregoing can occur as planned, or at all. OpenLocker believes that licensing the NIL of athletes directly with each athlete allows OpenLocker to retain more revenue, while giving the athlete a larger percentage of the profit, which is an important differentiating factor for OpenLocker in the sports NFT space.

Moreover, OpenLocker has been in discussions with athletes outside of the college sports arena, including related to golf and race car driving and foresees opportunities in NASCAR, Ultimate Fighting Championship, and beyond.

OpenLocker launched the OpenStable marketplace in April 2022 to engage the next generation of thoroughbred racing enthusiasts. Through its relationships with owners, trainers and influencers in the racing industry, OpenStable aims to be able to give fans access to exclusive information, real life experiences, and memorabilia so that they may engage in a truly immersive journey covering a racehorse’s career.

The launch strategy for the OpenStable marketplace involved reaching the largest audience of racing fans (both casual and committed) by creating a collection of NFTs featuring the leading contenders in the Kentucky Derby and Kentucky Oaks, as well as scheduling their release on the weekend prior to each of those two prominent races. Per a Memorandum of Understanding (the “MOU”) dated April 15, 2022, OpenLocker and Horse Races Now established terms for a marketing collaboration, whereby Horse Races Now agreed to drive traffic from its app and e-mail marketing campaigns targeted at its existing user base of racing fans, in exchange for OpenLocker paying Horse Races Now 12.5% of its retained revenues (after transaction fees) generated from sales of all NFT collections, on OpenStable.

The MOU has provided OpenLocker with access to the Horse Races Now’s (horseracesnow.com) database of 600,000 users and placement in the app. OpenLocker also executed a weeklong digital promotion in the Daily Racing Form and conducted media interviews, as well as social media campaigns. While the racing season was at its height, OpenLocker benefited from significant traffic to its website and generated some sales of gear, including apparel, hats, pins, and other items featuring each racehorse’s unique brand (also featuring the OpenStable logo). Additional NFT releases are expected to be made over the course of summer 2022, in connection with various racehorses.

Finally, the user-friendly interface that OpenLocker created for college sports fans and emphasis on fan community building is an important differentiator for OpenStable as it seeks to position itself as the next-generation marketing solution within the thoroughbred racing space. As the average fan is currently over 50 years old and likely unfamiliar with blockchain technology, simplifying NFTs is vital for piquing their interest. Offering ownership of digital tokens along with rewards and experiences, both in the virtual and physical realms, also makes OpenStable products attractive to a younger audience with a goal to develop a next generation younger fan engagement around the thoroughbred racing sport.

OpenLocker believes that it has found a unique and attractive market for the application of NFTs by focusing on the college athlete market. For example, pursuant to a Statista survey published on April 8, 2022, in a survey conducted in March 2022, 11 percent of respondents stated that they were avid fans of NCAA men’s college basketball in the United States, whereas 26 percent of respondents stated they were casual fans. The NCAA men’s basketball is the college level of basketball played in the United States and is seen as the final step up before the NBA.

Plan of Operations

Over the next 12 months, we expect to require approximately $2,000,000 in operating funds to carry out our intended plan of operations.

We are planning to obtain the funds necessary to execute our plan of operations from various capital raises, including potentially through private placements or our common stock or the issuance and sales of convertible notes, as well as potentially through a registration statement or an offering statement filed with the SEC.

There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain the necessary funds for our foregoing operations on terms that are acceptable to us or at all, and there can be no assurance that our plan of operations can be executed as planned, or at all.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Revenues

During the year ended July 31, 2022 and the seven months ended July 31, 2021, we generated revenues of $208 and $0, respectively. The lack of revenue was a result of an inability to execute on any business due to limited capital and management resources.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses for the year ended July 31, 2022 and the seven months ended July 31, 2022 were $2,494,425 and $16,045, respectively. The increase in expenses was due to a rise in fixed general administrative expenses and increased research and development.

Loss from Operations

Loss from operations for the year ended July 31, 2022 and the seven months ended July 31, 2022 was $2,494,217 and $16,045, respectively. The increase in expenses was due to a rise in fixed general administrative expenses and increased research and development.

Net Loss

Net loss for the year ended July 31, 2022 and the seven months ended July 31, 2022 was $2,556,714 and $27,219, respectively. The increase in expenses was due to a rise in fixed general administrative expenses and increased research and development.

There is significant uncertainty projecting future profitability due to our history of losses and lack of revenues. In our current state, we have no recurring or guaranteed source of revenues and cannot predict when, if ever, we will become profitable. There is significant uncertainty projecting future profitability due to our minimal operating history and lack of guaranteed ongoing revenue streams.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of July 31, 2022, we had $607,135 in cash and did not have any other cash equivalents. The following table provides detailed information about our net cash flow for all financial statement periods presented in this Annual Report. To date, we have financed our operations through the issuance of stock and borrowings.

The following table sets forth a summary of our cash flows for the year ended July 31, 2022 and the seven months ended July 31, 2021:

Since inception, we have financed our cash flow requirements through issuance of common stock and debt financing. As we expand our activities, we may, and most likely will, continue to experience net negative cash flows from operations. We anticipate obtaining additional financing to fund operations through additional common stock offerings, to the extent available, or to obtain additional financing to the extent necessary to augment our working capital.

We anticipate that we will incur operating losses in the next twelve months. Our lack of operating history makes predictions of future operating results difficult to ascertain. Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in their early stage of development, particularly companies in new and rapidly evolving markets. Such risks for us include, but are not limited to, an evolving and unpredictable business model and the management of growth. To address these risks, we must, among other things, obtain a customer base, implement and successfully execute our business and marketing strategy, continually develop and upgrade our website, provide national and regional industry participants with an effective, efficient and accessible website on which to promote their products and services through the Internet, respond to competitive developments, and attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in addressing such risks, and the failure to do so can have a material adverse e

Effects of Coronavirus on the Company

If the current outbreak of the coronavirus continues, the effects of such a widespread infectious disease and epidemic may inhibit our ability to conduct our business and operations and could materially harm our Company. The coronavirus may cause us to have to reduce operations as a result of various lock-down procedures enacted by the local, state or federal governments. The continued coronavirus outbreak may also restrict our ability to raise funding when needed, and may cause an overall decline in the economy as a whole. The specific and actual effects of the spread of coronavirus are difficult to assess at this time as the actual effects will depend on many factors beyond the control and knowledge of the Company. However, the spread of the coronavirus, if it continues, may cause an overall decline in the economy as a whole and also may materially harm our Company.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported period. In accordance with GAAP, we base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Going Concern and Management’s Plans

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.

As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, for the year ended July 31, 2022, the Company had:

Additionally, at July 31, 2022, the Company had:

We manage liquidity risk by reviewing, on an ongoing basis, our sources of liquidity and capital requirements. The Company has cash on hand of $607,135 at July 31, 2022. Although the Company intends to raise additional debt or equity capital, the Company expects to continue to incur significant losses from operations and have negative cash flows from operating activities for the near-term. These losses could be significant as operations ramp up along with continuing expenses related to compensation, professional fees, and regulatory are incurred.

The Company has incurred significant losses since its inception and has not demonstrated an ability to generate sufficient revenues to achieve profitable operations. There can be no assurance that profitable operations will ever be achieved, or if achieved, could be sustained on a continuing basis. In making this assessment we performed a comprehensive analysis of our current circumstances including: our financial position, our cash flows and cash usage forecasts for the twelve months ended July 31, 2023, and our current capital structure including equity-based instruments and our obligations and debts.

The Company has satisfied its obligations from the issuance of common stock; however, there is no assurance that such successful efforts will continue during the twelve months subsequent to the date these consolidated financial statements are issued.

If the Company does not obtain additional capital, the Company will be required to reduce the scope of its business development activities or cease operations. The Company continues to explore obtaining additional capital financing and the Company is closely monitoring its cash balances, cash needs, and expense levels.

These factors create substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within the twelve-month period subsequent to the date that these consolidated financial statements are issued. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a basis that assumes the Company will continue as a going concern and which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the ordinary course of business.

Management’s strategic plans include the following:

Principles of Consolidation

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates

Preparing financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and those estimates may be material.

Goodwill and Impairment

In financial reporting, goodwill is not amortized, but is tested for impairment annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Events that result in an impairment review include significant changes in the business climate, declines in our operating results, or an expectation that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. We assess potential impairment by considering present economic conditions as well as future expectations. All assessments of goodwill impairment are conducted at the individual reporting unit level.

The Company uses qualitative factors according to ASC 350-20-35-3 to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of goodwill is less than its carrying amount. During the year ended July 31, 2022 and the period ended July 31, 2021, the Company determined there were no impairments of goodwill.

Intangible Assets and Impairment

Definite-lived intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Indefinite-lived intangible assets are reviewed for impairment annually. The Company reviews definite-lived intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.

There were no impairment losses for the year ended July 31, 2022 and the period ended July 31, 2021, respectively.

Revenue Recognition

OpenLocker generates revenue from two main sources, primary sales of NFTs on its online store and commissions collected from sales on the secondary marketplace.

Revenue is recognized in accordance with FASB Topic ASC No. 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”. The Company recognizes revenue when its performance obligations are complete, which occurs at a point in time related to the transfer of an NFT to its customer. Currently, all sales contain a single performance obligation.

All payments are received from third-party payment processing providers. The Company receives payments from sales on its primary marketplace (Shopify site) as well as two other sources. Each of these sources of payment relate to the completion of a single performance obligation completed at a point in time, which occurs upon the transfer of an NFT and where no further performance obligations are required:

The Company also recognizes revenues generated from the 5% commission fee collected on secondary marketplace sales transacted on the OpenLocker Trading Portal site, operated by Mint Blockchain Solutions, which is deposited into a blocto wallet. The platform uses FUSD (1:1 USD-backed stablecoin) as the fungible token on the Flow network. Conversion from FUSD to USD and transfers to company bank account will be made on a monthly basis.

Shipping fees collected from customers for physical collectibles are included with revenues received from Shopify payouts. The majority of those collectibles have not yet been shipped due to a delay in receiving the goods from our vendor. Prior to the product shipping, any amounts received in advance are accounted for as contract liabilities (deferred revenue).

Software Development Costs

Internal-use software development costs are accounted for in accordance with ASC 350- 40, “Internal-Use Software”. The costs incurred in the preliminary stages of development are expensed as research and development costs as incurred.

Once an application has reached the development stage, internal and external costs incurred to develop internal-use software are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the software (typically three to five years).

Maintenance and enhancement costs, including those costs in the post-implementation stages, are typically expensed as incurred, unless such costs relate to substantial upgrades and enhancements to the software that result in added functionality, in which case the costs are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the software.

The Company reviews the carrying value for impairment whenever facts and circumstances exist that would suggest that assets might be impaired or that the useful lives should be modified. Amortization expense related to capitalized internal-use software development costs will be included in cost of goods sold in the statements of operations.

For the year ended July 31, 2022 and the period ended July 31, 2021, the Company expensed $46,667 and $0, respectively, in software development costs.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

Not applicable.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in company reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of July 31, 2022. Based upon this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of July 31, 2022, our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were not effective.

We do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all instances of fraud. Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Further, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all disclosure controls and procedures, no evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures can provide absolute assurance that we have detected all our control deficiencies and instances of fraud, if any. The design of disclosure controls and procedures also is based partly on 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.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of July 31, 2022. Our management’s evaluation of our internal control over financial reporting was based on the 2013 framework in Internal Control-Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, our management concluded that as of July 31, 2022, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective.

The ineffectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting was due to material weaknesses that we identified in our internal control over financial reporting, including a lack of formal documentation of controls and processes, a lack of segregation of duties, and a lack of formal review process. A material weakness is a deficiency or a combination of control deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. We expect to address the material weakness by hiring additional qualified members of management. Management believes that the material weaknesses set forth above did not have an effect on our Company’s financial results.

This Annual Report on Form 10-K does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm in accordance with applicable rules of the SEC.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During the three months ended July 31, 2022, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. 

None.

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

No executive officer, member of the board of directors or control person of our Company has been involved in any legal proceeding listed in Item 401(f) of Regulation S-K in the past 10 years.

Corporate Governance

Committees

We do not have a standing nominating, compensation or audit committee. Rather, our full board of directors performs the functions of these committees. We do not believe it is necessary for our board of directors to appoint such committees because the volume of matters that come before our board of directors for consideration permits the directors to give sufficient time and attention to such matters to be involved in all decision making. Additionally, because our common stock is not listed for trading or quotation on a national securities exchange, we are not required to have such committees.

Director Independence & Stockholder Director Nominee Recommendations

We have no independent directors, as such term is defined in the listing standards of The NASDAQ Stock Market, at this time. The Company is not quoted on any exchange that requires director independence requirements. We do not have a policy regarding the consideration of any director candidates that may be recommended by our stockholders, including the minimum qualifications for director candidates, nor have our officers and directors established a process for identifying and evaluating director nominees. We have not adopted a policy regarding the handling of any potential recommendation of director candidates by our stockholders, including the procedures to be followed. Our officers and directors have not considered or adopted any of these policies as we have never received a recommendation from any stockholder for any candidate to serve on our board of directors.

Given our relative size and lack of directors’ and officers’ insurance coverage, we do not anticipate that any of our stockholders will make such a recommendation in the near future. While there have been no nominations of additional directors proposed, in the event such a proposal is made, all current members of our board will participate in the consideration of director nominees.

Until such time as our Company further develops our business, achieves a stronger revenue base and has sufficient working capital to purchase directors’ and officers’ insurance, we do not have any immediate prospects to attract independent directors. When we are able to expand our board to include one or more independent directors, we intend to establish an audit committee of our board of directors. It is our intention that one or more of these independent directors will also qualify as an audit committee financial expert. Our securities are not quoted on an exchange that has requirements that a majority of our board members be independent and we are not currently otherwise subject to any law, rule or regulation requiring that all or any portion of our board of directors include “independent” directors, nor are we required to establish or maintain an audit committee or other committee of our board.

Code of Ethics

We have not yet adopted a code of ethics that applies to all of our employees, officers and directors, including those officers responsible for financial reporting. We expect that we will adopt a code of ethics in the near future.

Family Relationships

Brian Klatsky and Lauren Klatsky are siblings. Other than the foregoing, there are no family relationships among any of our executive officers or directors.

The following table summarizes all compensation recorded by us in the past two fiscal years ended July 31, 2022 for:

For definitional purposes, these individuals are sometimes referred to as the “named executive officers.”

2022 Summary Compensation Table

(2) Ms. Anthony was appointed President on or around November 18, 2021.

None.

Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End

Compensation Plans

As of July 31, 2022, the Company reserved 750,000 shares of Company common stock for issuance to OpenLocker employees as options, restricted stock or similar incentive compensation, as may be determined by the Board.

Executive Compensation Philosophy

Our Board determines the compensation given to our executive officers in its sole determination. Our Board reserves the right to pay our executives or any future executives a salary, and/or issue them shares of stock issued in consideration for services rendered and/or to award incentive bonuses which are linked to our performance, as well as to the individual executive officer’s performance. This package may also include long-term stock-based compensation to certain executives, which is intended to align the performance of our executives with our long-term business strategies. Additionally, the Board reserves the right to grant performance base stock options in the future, if the Board in its sole determination believes such grants would be in the best interests of the Company.

Incentive Bonus

The Board may grant incentive bonuses to our executive officers and/or future executive officers in its sole discretion, if the Board believes such bonuses are in the Company’s best interest, after analyzing our current business objectives and growth, if any, and the amount of revenue and profits we are able to generate each month, both of which are a direct result of the actions and ability of such executives.

Long-Term, Stock Based Compensation

In order to attract, retain and motivate executive talent necessary to support the Company’s long-term business strategy we may award our executives and any future executives with long-term, stock-based compensation in the future, at the sole discretion of our Board, which we do not currently have any immediate plans to award.

Director Compensation

Historically, the Company’s directors have not received compensation for their service. In the future, we expect that a board committee will review and make recommendations to the board regarding compensation of directors, including equity-based plans. We will reimburse our non-employee directors for reasonable travel expenses incurred in attending board and committee meetings. We also intend to allow our non-employee directors to participate in any equity compensation plans that we adopt in the future.

Accordingly, each share of Series A preferred stock has 1,000 votes. The Series A preferred stock votes together with the common stock as one class.

DESCRYPTO HOLDINGS, INC.

INDEX TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of Descrypto Holdings, Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Descrypto Holdings, Inc. (the Company) as of July 31, 2022 and 2021, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, deficit, and cash flows for the year ended July 31, 2022, the seven months ended July 31, 2021, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of July 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the for the year ended July 31, 2022, the seven months ended July 31, 2021, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has a working capital deficit, has generated net losses since its inception and further losses are anticipated. The Company requires additional funds to meet its obligations and the costs of its operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis for Opinion

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

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

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

Acquisition of OpenLocker, Inc.

On May 31, 2022, the Company. The Company acquired 100% equity interest in OpenLocker, Inc.. (Openlocker) for total consideration of $5.14 million. The Company determined that the acquisition was a business combination and accordingly, the purchase prices were allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at fair value as of the transaction dates. The Company utilized a third-party valuation specialist to assist in determining the fair value of the consideration granted and identifiable intangible assets acquired. We identified the estimation of the fair value of the consideration transferred, assets acquired, and liabilities assumed in the acquisition as a critical audit matter.

We identified the valuation of the consideration transferred, assets acquired, and liabilities assumed as a critical audit matter because of the significant estimates and assumptions management made to determine the fair value of certain of these assets. This required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort when performing audit procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of valuation methodologies applied and the assumptions used such as forecasted sales growth rates, cash flows, attrition rates, market-based royalty rates, and estimated discount rates. In addition, the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge.
