Corporate History

 

SportsQuest, Inc. (“the Company” or “SPQS”), was formed under the laws of the State of Delaware on April 3, 1986 under the name Bay Head Ventures, Inc. On July 29, 1988 the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of A.B. Park & Fly, Inc. On December 8, 1988, the Company changed its name to Air Brook Airport Express, Inc. On August 16, 2007, Lextra Management Group, Inc. acquired 51.16% of our issued and outstanding common stock and an outstanding account receivable due to Air Brook Limousine by us in the amount of $340,000. At the closing, Air Brook Limousine terminated the August 10, 1993 agreement referenced above. On August 16, 2007, we issued 6,800,000 shares of our common stock to Lextra in exchange for the forgiveness of the $340,000 receivable. On August 21, 2007, we acquired all of the assets of Lextra pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement dated August 21, 2007, in exchange for the issuance of 2,000,000 shares of common stock to Lextra and the forgiveness of our $500,000 loan to Lextra. The assets of Lextra were transferred to our wholly-owned subsidiary, SportsQuest Management Group, Inc. At that time the company changed its name to SportsQuest, Inc.

 

The Company developed, owned and managed high end sports events and their operating entities, as well as executing a growth strategy involving acquisition of diverse and effective sports marketing platforms. The Company also managed the US Pro Golf Tour.

 

In 2021, the Company changed its focus to the acquisition of innovative products and services.

 

Our Current Business

 

SportsQuest intends to franchise consulting systems, infrastructure, and services to individuals who will become Franchise Consultant Professionals (“FCPs”) and subsequently utilize SportsQuest’s expertise to assist their clients in identifying the franchise opportunity which provides them with the best opportunity for long term success. As an FCP we counsel people who are considering franchise ownership. By definition, a franchise is an exchange of the rights and licenses of a business for a fee. With this business consultant role, we look at a prospective candidate’s background, financial situation, goals, and more. Many FCPs are part of a franchise consulting company such as Business Alliance Inc. (BAI  ). BAI, through its website, provides resources for franchise brokers, buyers and franchisors. We have an affiliate agreement with BAI allowing us to to tap into over 350 current franchisors that are offering franchise units for sale. We help prospective candidates identify the best fit franchise based on the potential franchisee’s needs, lifestyle, personality, and financial situation assuring they invest in the most ideal franchise for them.

 

With the candidate’s best interests in mind, FCPs guide candidates through the franchise selection, evaluation, and buying process. Once a candidate decides on a brand, an FCP may also assist in acquiring the necessary capital to own and operate the business.

 

An FCP is also thought of as a matchmaker, connecting hopeful entrepreneurs with franchise opportunities. Once people find out about FCP opportunities and why people use FCPs, they want to hear more. The FCP acts as a broker/buffer between the franchisor and the potential franchisee at the introductory stage and further as required.

 

From a franchise candidate’s perspective, an FCP is a trusted advisor, counselor, educator, and guide. FCPs start by assessing the most crucial issue—determining if franchise ownership is even the right path for the candidate. If it is, the FCP helps narrow down several opportunities to explore. Good FCPs will collaborate with their candidates until they have found the right opportunity and have a signed contract (franchise agreement) with a franchisor. The best FCPs always stay connected with the people they placed in business to find out about the experience with the brand. This not only helps consultants identify other candidates who might be a good fit but also those franchisors who may no longer be ideal franchisors.

Franchise consulting is one part counseling and one part artistry. The FCP must be an active listener to best serve the candidate. The FCP's role involves understanding a candidate’s background, interests, and desired lifestyle and then translate it into an ideal franchise opportunity. At times, an FCP may understand what the candidate wants more than the candidate does. Above all, an FCP must consider what is best for the candidate.

 

Company Mission Statement

 

Our mission is to help clients structure a franchise strategy based on the uniqueness of their situation and what they find most compelling as to brand, culture, and operating models in order to attain their goals.

 

Company Philosophy and Vision

 

a. Our corporate philosophy is based on providing entrepreneurs with honesty, integrity, value, innovation, comparables, and to be the buffer they need so they can make a non-pressured and educated decision with respect to their franchise opportunities.
   
b. Our Vision is to establish ourselves as the go-to FCP for honest information and resources required for entrepreneurs to make educated and informed decisions.

 

Target market

 

Our target market is entrepreneurs that wish to start a franchise. These are generally strongly motivated, business-minded individuals of varying ages and backgrounds.

 

Industry

 

As an FCP, we have the experience and knowledge to help entrepreneurs find the business that fits their needs. We will walk them through what it means to be a franchise owner, and we will help them navigate any obstacles they may encounter along the way. Once we determine their capabilities and the orientation that fits their lifestyle, the next leg of their journey is exploring the industry. With over 3,000+ registered franchise companies available in the marketplace, determining the right one can certainly seem like an intimidating task.

 

Collaborating with us as their guide, potential franchisees will learn and understand how to evaluate various franchise opportunities; thus, simplifying, what can be for some, an exceedingly difficult process. Working together, we will determine the best way to articulate their interests and how they would partner with potential franchises.

 

The final part of our journey together provides candidates with an opportunity to do a deep dive on their final franchise options. We then leverage our extensive network of legal advisors, financial advisors, other franchisees, the franchisor, etc. to help the candidate make a final decision and close the right franchise opportunity.

 

With the economic uncertainty that exists as a result of damages done to various industry sectors due to the recent pandemic, current economic conditions, and other attributing factors, people are looking for strong business models. The economic downturn triggered overspending and inflation, forcing many entrepreneurs to either lose their job or lose their business.

 

Our competitive edge will rely on staying on top of the latest changes and new potential franchisors in the industry by constantly researching and reading the latest events that can potentially affect one franchise over the other. Providing optimum support for our prospects and providing them with timely information so that they can make educated decisions. Additionally, we will put the prospect’s interest first, as a happy customer will generate more leads for us in the form of future referrals.

Technology & Services Technology

 

Franchise Brokerage – Our unique technology is what sets us apart from the competition. Our portal, ieFranchise.com, works as a closed loop network of over 350 franchisors. SPQS agents and representatives can represent the franchisor and the purchaser of the business simultaneously or separately and earn a favorable commission which is split between us and BAI. We estimate that the average commission we will earn on a franchise sale will be at least $20,000.

 

Lead Generation The portal is designed to be user friendly, and it integrates with almost all leading customer service or CRM-type   utility tools offered by companies such as Salesforce, Pipedrive, and similar suppliers. Through our portal, franchisors are able to advertise their franchise opportunities. Typically, they receive a tile type advertising with their company logo which, once clicked by the end user, spawns a landing page with detailed description of the franchise. The end user is given the opportunity to complete their contact information. This lead is prepopulated in the CRM back-office back engine so that the salesperson can follow up on the lead and convert it to a sale. There are many lead providers that offer this exact same service such as franchisegator.com, franchise.com, entrepreneur.com, and others. Typical monthly advertising costs range between $400 per month to over $2,000 per month. The average portal has virtual real estate of approximately one hundred tiles on their portal. In addition to the tile advertising these portals also offer banner advertising under stitch advertising where the advertising or landing page lands or displays after you leave the web page, favorable positioning throughout the portal cookie tracking and other technologies. These auxiliary services are in high demand and are reserved for up to 6 to 10 advertisers per month and range in price between $5,500 to $15,000 per month.

 

The uniqueness of our company is that we provide both lead generation as well as full-service brokerage services. This is an ideal situation and set up for those franchisors with a weak sales force or for those that do not fare well with introduction of their business to new operators. The franchisors that do not fare well are usually as a result of lack of funding or lack of resources to hire a good sales team. We provide both a virtual sales team and a robust advertising portal.

 

The Portal ieFranchise.com portal is the key to our success. We have affiliations and established relationships with over 350 nationwide franchisors we can represent. Without the portal, the company is nothing more than a franchise broker with a static web page. The portal provides a complete turnkey solution for the enterprise. The portal is highly customizable and in compliance with many search engines such as: Google, Yahoo, and others. In addition, the portal offers many plug and play features which allow the end user and the franchisor to have the best user experience, thus providing the optimal return on their time or money spent in the portal. ieFranchise.com is a tier1 domain meaning it has been in constant use for trade and commerce for over 20 years.

 

Artificial Intelligence (AI) (under development) – One of the biggest challenges of any franchisor is selecting a suitable franchisee to operate their business in a manner described by the franchisor. Many franchisors spend enormous amounts of money on personality tests such as Myers Briggs. Some of these compatibility tests cost the franchisors anywhere between $10 for a simple topography compatibility test up to several thousand dollars depending on the complexity and scope of the test they wish to conduct. With the portal, we can provide algorithms and selection processes including those basic topography type overtures which benefit the franchisor in having artificial intelligence deployed in the selection process to assist them in selecting the best qualified candidate. Right now, our AI program is under development, however it will use all of the aforementioned attributes and deploy them in the system for the franchise selection.

 

Services SportsQuest provides potential prospects with the ability to connect with franchises on a consultative basis taking the edge off of the strong sales tactics from franchisors and looking at the best interest of the prospect looking to purchase a franchise. Our close association with the latest updates on all franchises/franchisors as well as resources for our prospects utilizing an unbiased approach will ensure that we find the most suitable business opportunity for our prospects.

Competitive advantage

 

Due to the fact that we come from a franchise background and have sold over three hundred franchises we have experience on what franchisors look for in franchisees and the importance of franchisors to find a mutually fitting franchisee. We also have available artificial intelligence software that we are in the process of developing for the purpose of qualifying not only employees but also potential franchisees so that we can find the best matching franchise opportunity for them.

 

Service Pricing

 

We do not charge the potential franchisee for our consulting services. Rather, we charge the franchisor anywhere between 25- 50% of the franchise fee. We have over 350 franchisors we represent with pre-determined already agreed upon fees.

 

The Franchise Market

 

Primary market: Services will be marketed in various social media portal, blogs, press releases, newsletters, franchise portals, our website, YouTube, and via social events where we will be presenting our business card containing a bar code people can scan.

 

Secondary market research: Registering with BBB (Better business Bureau), Chamber of Commerce, attending Franchise Shows and handing out our business cards, may be worth having a booth at the franchise show, AFA (American Franchise Association), IFA (International Franchise Association), Franchise journal publication, The Great American Franchise Expo, Franchise times, Franchise Business Review and a blog that discusses franchise news such as Blue MauMau. In addition to this we will network by attending various events on Eventbrite and other such networking events as they arise.

 

According to the International Franchise Association's (IFA) 2024 Franchising Economic Outlook, the U.S. franchising sector is projected to experience continued growth in 2024.

 

Franchise Establishments and Employment:

 

·The number of franchise establishments is expected to increase by more than 15,000 units, or 1.9%, reaching 821,000 units in 2024.
·Franchising is anticipated to add approximately 221,000 jobs, a 2.6% growth, bringing total franchise employment to 8.9 million.

 

Economic Output and GDP Contribution:

 

·The total output of franchised businesses is forecasted to rise by 4.1% to $893.9 billion in 2024, up from $860.1 billion in 2023.
·Franchises' GDP is projected to grow by 4.3% to $545.8 billion, maintaining a stable 3% share of the overall U.S. economy.

 

Industry and Regional Trends:

 

·Service-based industries, particularly personal services, are expected to lead growth, with the personal services sector projected to expand by 3% to nearly 125,000 establishments.
·Quick-service restaurants (QSRs) are anticipated to grow by 2.2%, reaching over 199,000 units.
·The Southeast region continues to have the largest franchise concentration, with approximately 30% of all U.S. franchised businesses, employing 2.6 million workers and contributing $268.2 billion in output.
·The top ten states for franchise growth in 2024 are projected to be: Texas, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Maryland, Arizona, Colorado, and Virginia.

Regarding projections for 2025, specific statistics are not yet available. However, the IFA's 2024 report indicates that anticipated interest rate cuts may boost business by improving financing terms for small businesses. Real wage gains and cautiously optimistic consumer confidence are expected to contribute to sustained consumer spending. While labor continues to be a concern, with 47% of franchisees citing labor issues as their top challenge in 2023, the overall outlook suggests a positive trajectory for the franchising sector moving into 2025.

Short-term goals

 

The short-term goals for the business are to ensure that our source of lead generation is working without any glitches, that staff gets cross trained by creating Standard Operating Procedure Manual that they can refer to if and when needed, lastly that KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) are established.

 

Long term goals

 

The long-term goal for SPQS is to focus on developing opportunities for people in Florida and then grow our business into other states. Developing a strong Customer Relationship Management tool that allows us to manage staff and cater to their needs by providing them with all the necessary resources they need to succeed. 

 

Service features and benefits

 

Franchise Consulting service will be provided without any charge to the end-user by SportsQuest. It is only after the sale is made by the franchisor will the 25-100% of the franchise fee be received by the FCP. This methodology proves to have no pressure tactic for the potential franchisee or end-user. As FCPs we ensure that the franchisee or the potential franchisee receives valuable information and support without the direct pressure tactics some franchisors utilize to close the sale. Moreover, the support provided by the franchise consultant continues until the end-user becomes a franchisee. The best part is that as FCPs we do not favor one franchisor over another, as we work with the potential franchisee by finding out exactly what their needs are, based on their lifestyle and financial capability. As one can see there are numerous benefits to working with a franchise consultant versus going directly to a franchisor.

 

The secondary service provided by SportsQuest is selling unused or excess leads to franchisors, similar to franchise portals such as franchisegator.com

 

Our third source of revenue is from speaking to potential private businesses that wish to franchise their business.

 

The fourth revenue source comes from referrals we provide to potential franchisees for funding or legal advice.

Key competitors

 

The Leading Players involved in the global Franchise Consulting market are:

 

Competitor How they differ How we differ Benefits we have
Franchise Direct Franchise advertising portal We advertise on our portal as well for franchise opportunities However, we focus on utilizing a consultative approach based on the needs of the prospect and not on the wants, by educating prospects on the realities of owning one franchise over another that suits their lifestyle.
FranNet Use a consultative approach with training of their FCPs Training provided is 5 weeks Communication software provided is superior. The Training is less but company looks for experienced entrepreneurs.
The Entrepreneur’s Source Coach potential FCPs Base selection on already experienced franchisees or franchisors Although training is great being in the trenches and having the experience is fundamental to success.
Franchise America More of an advertising portal Our focus is not only to advertise but to provide most relevant information on the franchisor based on prospect needs The affiliate relationship we have with BAI allows us to provide potential prospects with the most accurate information on the franchisor/franchise
iFranchise Group Focus on assisting existing franchisors/franchisees Focus on assisting people looking to purchase a franchise We are in constant contact with franchisors so we are able to pass the changes occurring in the franchise to our prospects for their benefit and selection  
FranChoice Utilize a consultative approach with prospect Not much different than our system We are able to provide franchisors with various funding strategies should the need arise benefiting the franchisee indirectly
Sunbelt Business Brokers Assist in purchasing various businesses that are not necessarily franchise specific Focus on franchises only and vetted businesses Having the inside scoop of business that have to file a FDD makes the opportunity much safer for the potential prospect

Positioning/Niche

 

Expertise

Based on years of experience in the consultancy and sales side of the business and dealing with entrepreneurs we bring years of experience in the field of franchising, marketing, mergers and acquisitions. We stay on top of the various changing laws in the industry by subscribing to legitimate government websites and utilizing lawyers we have known in the industry for a long time for advice. Our skills and experience have been developed over years. We are not new in this business; we are confident that we can succeed.

 

Competition

There are several competitors in the franchise consultant business, but not all have the number of years and experience we bring to the table. Others have a lack of expertise in 2 or 3 of the areas we excel in such as producing various exit strategies and the development of artificial intelligence software primarily utilized to qualify potential franchisees thus placing us in an advantageous position.

 

Change Rate and Product Life Cycle

Some employers may choose to hire an employee to provide consultancy to the president of the company, but finding an ideal consultant that is well rounded with years of experience and no pay is next to impossible. As consultants we only get paid when we align the entrepreneur with the ideal franchisor.

 

Predictability and Complexity

If an entrepreneur decides to talk to one of our competitors after talking to us, they may soon find out that they provide no exit strategy, something that is crucial to every business. As consultants we can find a perfectly matching franchisor, take the private company public, find them a merger and acquisition candidate, or help them find their own way of franchising their business.

 

Reputation, Word of Mouth and Referrals

As President of various other companies Irina V has developed a reputation as a person with integrity and knowledgeable in various industries working as consultant to both public and private companies. Irina's vast knowledge in the industry has made her a point of reference in dealing with both private and public companies.

 

Barriers to Entry

It takes years of experience and research to gain the knowledge that SportsQuest has gained over the years. This is not easy to replicate nor to cover that much knowledge in a short time.

 

Target Market

Our target market is entrepreneurs looking for a new business opportunity, an exit strategy, and alternatives to working for someone else because they wish to be their own boss. Individuals either out of university where parents are able to help until they get started, individuals that have been in business for a while, but are looking for a change, individuals that would like to franchise their business, individuals seeking a solution for an exit strategy. Women looking to add revenue to the household by starting a business, and veterans looking to start a business are ideal candidates.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

 

You should carefully consider the risks described below together with all of the other information included in this registration statement before making an investment decision with regard to our securities. The statements contained in or incorporated herein that are not historic facts are forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those set forth in or implied by forward-looking statements. If any of the following risks occurs, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be harmed. In that case, you may lose all or part of your investment. In addition to other information in this registration statement and in other filings we make with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the following risk factors should be carefully considered in evaluating our business as they may have a significant impact on our business, operating results and financial condition. If any of the following risks occurs, our business, financial condition, results of operations and future prospects could be materially and adversely affected. Because of the following factors, as well as other variables affecting our operating results, past financial performance should not be considered as a reliable indicator of future performance and investors should not use historical trends to anticipate results or trends in future periods.

 

Risks Related to the Company and Its Business

 

The Company has a limited operating history.

 

While the Company was incorporated in 1986, the Company has only operated under its current business model for a limited time. There can be no assurance that the Company’s proposed plan of business can be realized in the manner contemplated and, if it cannot be, shareholders may lose all or a substantial part of their investment. There is no guarantee that it will ever realize any significant operating revenues or that its operations will ever be profitable.

 

We are dependent upon management, key personnel, and consultants to execute our business plan.

 

Our success is heavily dependent upon the continued active participation of our current management team, especially our current executive officer. Loss of this individual could have a material adverse effect upon our business, financial condition, or results of operations. Further, our success and the achievement of our growth plans depends on our ability to recruit, hire, train, and retain other highly qualified technical and managerial personnel. Competition for qualified employees among companies in our industry, and the loss of any of such persons, or an inability to attract, retain, and motivate any additional highly skilled employees required for the expansion of our activities, could have a materially adverse effect on our business. If we are unable to attract and retain the necessary personnel, consultants, and advisors, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or operations.

 

Although we are dependent upon certain key personnel, we do not have any key man life insurance policies on any such people.

 

We are dependent upon management in order to conduct our operations and execute our business plan; however, we have not purchased any insurance policies with respect to those individuals in the event of their death or disability. Therefore, should any of those key personnel, management, or founders die or become disabled, we will not receive any compensation that would assist with any such person’s absence. The loss of any such person could negatively affect our business and operations.

 

 

 

 13 

 

 

Changes in employment laws or regulations could harm our performance.

 

Various federal and state labor laws govern the Company’s relationship with our employees and affect operating costs, including labor laws of non-USA jurisdictions. These laws may include minimum wage requirements, overtime pay, healthcare reform and the implementation of various federal and state healthcare laws, unemployment tax rates, workers’ compensation rates, citizenship requirements, union membership and sales taxes. A number of factors could adversely affect our operating results, including additional government-imposed increases in minimum wages, overtime pay, paid leaves of absence and mandated health benefits, mandated training for employees, changing regulations from the National Labor Relations Board and increased employee litigation including claims relating to the Fair Labor Standards Act.

 

The Company is subject to income taxes as well as non-income-based taxes such as payroll, sales, use, value-added, net worth, property, and goods and services taxes.

 

Significant judgment is required in determining our provision for income taxes and other tax liabilities. In the ordinary course of our business, there are many transactions and calculations where the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. Although the Company believes that our tax estimates will be reasonable: (i) there is no assurance that the final determination of tax audits or tax disputes will not be different from what is reflected in our income tax provisions, expense amounts for non-income-based taxes and accruals and (ii) any material differences could have an adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations in the period or periods for which a determination is made.

 

The limited rights of legal recourse against us, and our lack of insurance protection expose us and our shareholders to the risk of loss of our digital assets for which no person is liable.

 

The digital assets held by us are not insured. Further, banking institutions will not accept our digital assets; they are therefore not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) or the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (“SIPC”). Therefore, a loss may be suffered with respect to our digital assets which is not covered by insurance, and we may not be able to recover any of our carried value in these digital assets if they are lost or stolen or suffer significant and sustained reduction in conversion spot price. If we are not otherwise able to recover damages from a malicious actor in connection with these losses, our business and results of operations may suffer, which may have a material negative impact on our stock price.

 

We are not subject to Sarbanes-Oxley regulations and lack the financial controls and safeguards required of public companies.

 

We have not been subject to Sarbanes-Oxley throughout our operating history and therefore have not previously developed the internal infrastructure necessary to complete an attestation of our financial controls pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. We expect to incur substantial expenses and diversion of management’s time if and when it becomes necessary to perform the system and process evaluation, testing and remediation required in order to comply with the management certification and auditor attestation requirements. 

 

There is no guarantee that we will have sufficient cash flow from our business to pay our indebtedness or that we will not incur additional debt.

 

Holders of convertible notes issued by us may convert such notes at their option prior to the scheduled maturities of the respective convertible notes under certain circumstances pursuant to the terms of such notes. Upon conversion of the applicable convertible notes, we will be obligated to deliver cash and/or shares pursuant to the terms of such notes. Moreover, holders of such convertible notes may have the right to require us to repurchase their notes upon the occurrence of a fundamental change pursuant to the terms of such notes.

 

 

 14 

 

 

Our ability to make scheduled payments of the principal and interest on our indebtedness when due, to make payments upon conversion or repurchase demands with respect to our convertible notes, or to refinance our indebtedness as we may need or desire, depends on our future performance, which is subject to economic, financial, competitive, and other factors beyond our control. Our business may not generate cash flow from future operations sufficient to satisfy our obligations under our existing indebtedness and any future indebtedness we may incur, and to make necessary capital expenditures. If we are unable to generate such cash flow, we may be required to adopt one or more alternatives, such as reducing or delaying investments or capital expenditures, selling assets, refinancing, or obtaining additional equity capital on terms that may be onerous or highly dilutive. Our ability to refinance existing or future indebtedness will depend on the capital markets and our financial condition at such time. In addition, our ability to make payments may be limited by law, by regulatory authority, or by agreements governing our future indebtedness. We may not be able to engage in these activities on desirable terms or at all, which may result in a default on our existing or future indebtedness and harm our business, financial condition, and operating results.

 

Our operating plan relies in large part on assumptions and analysis developed by the Company. If these assumptions prove to be incorrect, the Company’s actual operating results may be materially different from our forecasted results.

 

Whether actual operating results and business developments will be consistent with the Company's expectations and assumptions as reflected in its forecast depends on a number of factors, many of which are outside the Company's control, including, but not limited to:

 

whether the Company can obtain sufficient capital to sustain and grow its business
our ability to manage the Company's growth
demand for the Company's products and services
the timing and costs of new and existing marketing and promotional efforts
competition
the Company's ability to retain existing key management, to integrate recent hires and to attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel
the overall strength and stability of domestic and international economies
consumer spending habits

 

Unfavorable changes in any of these or other factors, most of which are beyond the Company's control, could materially and adversely affect its business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

Our indebtedness could adversely affect our financial condition or operations, and our ability to raise additional capital financing on favorable terms.

 

We will likely need to raise additional capital through debt and/or equity financing. There can be no assurance that adequate debt and equity financing will be available on satisfactory terms. Any such failure to service our debt or an inability to obtain further financing could have a negative effect on our business and operations.  

 

Additional financing may not be available to us when we need or want it, nor may it be available on satisfactory terms.

 

We have limited capital and there is no assurance that our current capital is sufficient to implement our business plan. We will likely require additional debt and/or equity financing to pursue our growth and business strategy, including enhancements to our operations infrastructure and improving our ability to respond to competitive pressures. There can be no assurance that adequate debt and/or equity financing will be available or offered on satisfactory terms. Any failure to obtain further financing could have a materially adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and operating results.

 

 

 

 15 

 

 

Our ability to maintain customer satisfaction depends in part on the quality of our customer support. Failure to maintain high-quality customer support could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operation, and financial condition.

 

Our ability to attract new customers and retain existing customers depends in part on our ability to maintain a consistently high level of customer support. We believe that the quality of our customer support is, and will continue to be, an integral part of the user experience and a key differentiator from competing platforms. These means of providing customer support may not be sufficient to meet our customers’ support needs, and while we plan to develop a customer support capability, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in developing such capabilities or that such capabilities, even if developed, will be sufficient to meet our customers’ support needs. If we do not help our customers quickly resolve issues and provide effective ongoing support, or if our support personnel or methods of providing support are insufficient to meet the needs of our customers, it could adversely affect our customers’ experience and negatively impact our reputation and brand, our ability to attract and retain customers. The growth of our business will continue to place significant demands on our customer support resources. If we are not able to meet the customer support needs of our customers, we may need to increase our support coverage, which may reduce our profitability.

 

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 high level of competition in the franchising industry could materially and adversely affect our business.

 

We compete with the following industry participants: other franchising consultants; business consultants; accountants; business brokers; attorneys; and other businesses that rely on emerging business’ discretionary spending. We may not be able to compete effectively in the markets in which we operate. Competitors may attempt to copy our business model, or portions thereof, which could erode our market share and brand recognition and impair our growth rate and profitability. Competitors, including companies that are larger and have greater resources than us, may compete with us to attract clients in our markets. This competition may limit our ability to attract and retain existing clients and our ability to attract new clients, which in each case could materially and adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

 

If we are unable to anticipate and satisfy consumer preferences and shifting views of franchising, our business may be adversely affected.

 

Our success depends on our ability to anticipate and satisfy consumer preferences relating to franchising. Our business is and all of our services are subject to changing consumer preferences that cannot be predicted with certainty. Developments or shifts in research or public opinion on the types of franchising services we provide could negatively impact the business or consumers’ preferences for franchising services could shift rapidly to different types of franchising centers or at-home fitness options; and we may be unable to anticipate and respond to shifts in consumer preferences. It is also possible that competitors could introduce new products and services that negatively impact consumer preference for our business model, or that consumers would prefer franchising opportunities outside of business operations that do not align with our business model. Failure to predict and respond to changes in public opinion, public research and consumer preferences could adversely impact our business.

We may be unable to attract and retain clients, which would materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

Our target market is business educated people seeking to expand and help clients with finding the right franchise opportunity for their situation. The success of our business depends on our and our franchise consultants’ ability to attract and retain clients. Our and our franchisees’ marketing efforts may not be successful in attracting client’s business levels may materially decline over time, especially at locations in operation for an extended period of time. Some of the factors that could lead to a decline in new clients include changing desires and behaviors of consumers or their perception of our brand, a shift to digital fitness versus our core bricks and mortar fitness offerings, changes in business spending trends and general economic conditions, market maturity or saturation, a decline in our ability to deliver quality service at a competitive price, an increase in monthly clientship dues due to inflation, direct and indirect competition in our industry and a decline in the public’s interest in franchising, among other factors.

 

We and our franchisees rely heavily on information systems, and any material failure, interruption or weakness may prevent us from effectively operating our business and damage our reputation.

 

We and our franchisees may rely on information systems managed by third parties, to interact with our franchisees and clients and collect, maintain, store and transmit member information, billing information and other personally identifiable information, including for the operation of stores, collection of cash, legal and regulatory compliance, management of our supply chain, accounting, staffing, payment of obligations, ACH transactions, credit and debit card transactions and other processes and procedures. Our ability to efficiently and effectively manage our franchisee and corporate-owned operations depends significantly on the reliability and capacity of these systems, and any potential failure of these third parties to provide quality uninterrupted service is beyond our control.

 

Our and our franchisees’ operations depend upon our ability, and the ability of our franchisees and third-party service providers (as well as their third-party service providers), to protect our computer equipment and systems against damage from physical theft, fire, power loss, telecommunications failure or other catastrophic events, as well as from internal and external security breaches, viruses, denial-of-service attacks and other disruptions. The failure of these systems to operate effectively, stemming from maintenance problems, upgrading or transitioning to new platforms, expanding our systems as we grow, a breach in security or other unanticipated problems could result in interruptions to or delays in our business and member services and reduce efficiency in our operations. In addition, the implementation of technology changes and upgrades to maintain current and integrate new systems may also cause service interruptions, operational delays due to the learning curve associated with using a new system, transaction processing errors and system conversion delays and may cause us to fail to comply with applicable laws. If our information systems, or those of our franchisees and third-party service providers (as well as their third-party service providers), fail and our or our partners’ third-party back-up or disaster recovery plans are not adequate to address such failures, our revenues and profits could be reduced and the reputation of our brand and our business could be materially adversely affected, which in turn may materially and adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

 

If we fail to properly maintain the confidentiality and integrity of our data, including credit card, debit card, bank account information and other personally identifiable information, our reputation and business could be materially and adversely affected.

 

In the ordinary course of business, we and our franchisees collect, maintain, store and transmit member and employee data, including credit and debit card numbers, bank account information, driver’s license numbers, dates of birth and other highly sensitive personally identifiable information, in information systems that we maintain and in those maintained by franchisees and third parties with whom we contract to provide services. In 2019, we introduced a mobile application that tracks exercise and activity-related data, which may in the future track other personal information. Some of this data is sensitive and could be an attractive target of a criminal attack by malicious third parties with a wide range of motives and expertise, including lone wolves, organized criminal groups, “hacktivists,” disgruntled current or former employees and others. The integrity and protection of member and employee data is critical to us.

 

 

 

 17 

 

 

Despite the security measures we have in place to comply with applicable laws and rules, our facilities and systems, and those of our franchisees and third-party service providers (as well as their third-party service providers), may be vulnerable to security breaches, acts of cyber terrorism or sabotage, vandalism or theft, computer viruses, loss or corruption of data, programming or human errors or other similar events. Furthermore, the size and complexity of our information systems, and those of our franchisees and our third-party service providers (as well as their third-party service providers), make such systems potentially vulnerable to security breaches from inadvertent or intentional actions by our employees, franchisees or vendors, or from attacks by malicious third parties. Because such attacks are increasing in sophistication and change frequently in nature, we, our franchisees and our third-party service providers may be unable to anticipate these attacks or implement adequate preventative measures, and any compromise of our systems, or those of our franchisees and third-party service providers (as well as their third-party service providers), may not be discovered and remediated promptly. Changes in consumer behavior following a security breach or perceived breach, act of cyber terrorism or sabotage, vandalism or theft, computer viruses, loss or corruption of data or programming or human error or other similar event affecting a competitor, large retailer or financial institution may materially and adversely affect our business, which in turn may materially and adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

 

Our franchisees could take actions that harm our business.

 

Our franchisees are contractually obligated to operate their stores in accordance with the operational, safety and health standards set forth in our agreements with them, including adherence to applicable laws and regulations. However, franchisees are independent third parties and their actions are outside of our control. In addition, we cannot be certain that our franchisees will have the business acumen or financial resources necessary to operate successful franchises in their approved locations, and certain state franchise laws limit our ability to terminate or not renew these franchise agreements. Our franchisees own, operate and oversee the daily operations of their stores. As a result, the ultimate success and quality of any franchise store rests with the franchisee. If franchisees do not successfully operate stores in a manner consistent with required standards and comply with local laws and regulations, franchise fees and royalties paid to us may be adversely affected, and our brand image and reputation could be harmed, which in turn could materially and adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

 

Although we believe we generally maintain positive working relationships with our franchisees, disputes with franchisees could damage our brand image and reputation and our relationships with our franchisees generally.

 

Our business is subject to various laws and regulations and changes in such laws and regulations, or failure to comply with existing or future laws and regulations, could adversely affect our business.

 

We are subject to the FTC Franchise Rule, which is a trade regulation imposed on franchising promulgated by the FTC that regulates the offer and sale of franchises in the United States and that requires us to provide to all prospective franchisees’ certain mandatory disclosure in a franchise disclosure document (“FDD”). In addition, we are subject to state franchise registration and disclosure laws in approximately 14 states and various state business opportunity laws that regulate the offer and sale of franchises by requiring us, unless otherwise exempt, to register our franchise offering in those states prior to our making any offer or sale of a franchise in those states and to provide a FDD to prospective franchisees in accordance with such laws. We are subject to franchise disclosure laws in States that regulate the offer and sale of franchises by requiring us, unless otherwise exempt, to prepare and deliver a franchise disclosure document to disclose our franchise offering in a prescribed format to prospective franchisees in accordance with such laws, and that regulate certain aspects of the franchise relationship. We are subject to similar franchise sales laws in Canada, Mexico, and Australia (should we expand internationally), and may become subject to similar laws in other countries in which we may offer franchises in the future. Failure to comply with such laws may result in a franchisee’s right to rescind its franchise agreement and damages, and may result in investigations or actions from federal or state franchise authorities, civil fines or penalties, and stop orders, among other remedies. We are also subject to franchise relationship laws in approximately 20 states and in various U.S. territories that regulate many aspects of the franchise relationship including, depending upon the jurisdiction, renewals and terminations of franchise agreements, franchise transfers, the applicable law and venue in which franchise disputes must be resolved, discrimination and franchisees’ right to associate, among others. Our failure to comply with such franchise relationship laws could result in fines, damages and our inability to enforce franchise agreements where we have violated such laws. Although we believe that our FDDs, franchise sales practices and franchise activities comply with such franchise sales laws and franchise relationship laws, our non-compliance could result in liability to franchisees and regulatory authorities (as described above), inability to enforce our franchise agreements and a reduction in our anticipated royalty revenue, which in turn may materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations.

 

 

 

 18 

 

 

We and our franchisees are also subject to the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, as amended, and various other laws in the United States, Canada, Panama, Mexico and Australia governing such matters as minimum-wage requirements, overtime and other working conditions. Based upon our experience with hiring employees and operating corporate-owned stores, we believe a significant number of our and our franchisees’ employees are paid at rates related to the U.S. federal or state minimum wage, and past increases in the U.S. federal and/or state minimum wage have increased labor costs, as would future increases. Any increases in labor costs might result in our and our franchisees inadequately staffing stores. Such increases in labor costs, and those that may arise due to other changes in labor laws or as a result of low unemployment rates, could affect store performance and quality of service, decrease royalty revenues and adversely affect our brand.

 

Our and our franchisees’ operations and properties are subject to extensive U.S., Canadian, Panamanian, Mexican and Australian, federal, international, state, provincial and local laws and regulations, including those relating to environmental, building and zoning requirements. Our and our franchisees’ development of properties depends to a significant extent on the selection and acquisition of suitable sites, which are subject to zoning, land use, environmental, traffic and other regulations and requirements. Failure to comply with these legal requirements could result in, among other things, revocation of required licenses, administrative enforcement actions, fines and civil and criminal liability, which could adversely affect our business.

 

We and our franchisees are responsible at stores we each operate for compliance with state, provincial and local laws that regulate the relationship between stores and their clients. Many states and provinces have consumer protection regulations that may limit the collection of clientship dues or fees prior to opening, require certain disclosures of pricing information, mandate the maximum length of contracts and “cooling off” periods for clients (after the purchase of a clientship), set escrow and bond requirements for stores, govern member rights in the event of a member relocation or disability, provide for specific member rights when a store closes or relocates, or preclude automatic clientship renewals. Our or our franchisees’ failure to comply fully with these rules or requirements may subject us or our franchisees to fines, penalties, damages and civil liability, or result in clientship contracts being void or voidable. In addition, states or provinces may update these laws and regulations. Any additional costs which may arise in the future as a result of changes to the legislation and regulations or in their interpretation could individually or in the aggregate cause us to change or limit our business practices, which may make our business model less attractive to our franchisees or our clients.

 

If we fail to develop, maintain, and enhance our brand and reputation, our business, operating results, and financial condition may be adversely affected.

 

Our brand and reputation are key assets and a competitive advantage. Maintaining, protecting, and enhancing our brand depends largely on the success of our marketing efforts, ability to provide consistent, high-quality, and secure products, services, features, and support, and our ability to successfully secure, maintain, and defend our rights to use the “Coinbase” mark and other trademarks important to our brand. We believe that the importance of our brand will increase as competition further intensifies. Our brand and reputation could be harmed if we fail to achieve these objectives or if our public image were to be tarnished by negative publicity, unexpected events, or actions by third parties. Unfavorable publicity about us, including our products, services, technology, customer service, personnel, and crypto asset or crypto asset platforms generally could diminish confidence in, and the use of, our products and services. 

 

 

 

 

 19 

 

 

Other Risks

 

We may not realize the anticipated benefits of past or future acquisitions, and integration of these acquisitions may disrupt our business and management.

 

In the future, we may acquire additional companies, project pipelines, products, or technologies or enter into join ventures or other strategic initiatives. We may not realize the anticipated benefits of an acquisition and each acquisition has numerous risks. These risks include the following:  

 

·high volatility in the value of cryptocurrencies generally and in the value of Bitcoin and Ethereum particularly, and the effect of such volatility on our ability to operate profitably;
·changes in the regulatory and legal environments in Latin America and the Caribbean Region in which we operate may lead to future challenges to operating our business or may subject our business to added costs with the result that some or all of our operating facilities become less profitable or unprofitable altogether;
·changes in United States tax laws may impose burdensome reporting or regulation on our operations;
·risks related to our failure to continue to obtain financing on a timely basis and on acceptable terms;
·our ability to keep pace with technology changes and competitive conditions;
·other risks and uncertainties related to our business plan and business strategy; and
·the impact on the world economy of coronavirus (“COVID-19”).

 

Our platform may be exploited to facilitate illegal activity such as fraud, money laundering, gambling, tax evasion, and scams. If any of our customers use our platform to further such illegal activities, our business could be adversely affected.

 

Our platform may be exploited to facilitate illegal activity including fraud, money laundering, gambling, tax evasion, and scams. We or our partners may be specifically targeted by individuals seeking to conduct fraudulent transfers, and it may be difficult or impossible for us to detect and avoid such transactions in certain circumstances. The use of our platform for illegal or improper purposes could subject us to claims, individual and class action lawsuits, and government and regulatory investigations, prosecutions, enforcement actions, inquiries, or requests that could result in liability and reputational harm for us. Moreover, certain activity that may be legal in one jurisdiction may be illegal in another jurisdiction, and certain activities that are at one time legal may in the future be deemed illegal in the same jurisdiction. As a result, there is significant uncertainty and cost associated with detecting and monitoring transactions for compliance with local laws. In the event that a customer is found responsible for intentionally or inadvertently violating the laws in any jurisdiction, we may be subject to governmental inquiries, enforcement actions, prosecuted, or otherwise held secondarily liable for aiding or facilitating such activities. Changes in law have also increased the penalties for money transmitters for certain illegal activities, and government authorities may consider increased or additional penalties from time to time. Owners of intellectual property rights or government authorities may seek to bring legal action against money transmitters, including us, for involvement in the sale of infringing or allegedly infringing items. Any threatened or resulting claims could result in reputational harm, and any resulting liabilities, loss of transaction volume, or increased costs could harm our business.

Risks Related to the Ownership of Our Common Stock

 

If we are subject to Securities and Exchange Commission regulations relating to low-priced stocks, the market for our common stock could be adversely affected.

 

The SEC has adopted regulations concerning low-priced or “penny” stocks. The regulations generally define “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. If our shares are offered at a market price less than $5.00 per share, and do not qualify for any exemption from the penny stock regulations, our shares may become subject to these additional regulations relating to low-priced stocks.

 

The penny stock regulations require that broker-dealer who recommend penny stocks to persons other than institutional accredited investors make a special suitability determination for the purchase, receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction prior to the sale and provide the purchaser with risk disclosure documents that identify risks associated with investing in penny stocks. Furthermore, the broker-dealer must obtain a signed and dated acknowledgment form the purchaser demonstrating that the purchaser has actually received the required risk disclosure document before effecting a transaction in penny stock. These requirements have historically resulted in reducing the level of trading activity in securities that become subject to the penny stock rules.

 

The additional burdens imposed upon broker-dealers by these penny stock requirements may discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in the common stock, which could severely limit the market liquidity of our common stock and our shareholders’ ability to sell our common stock in the secondary market.  

 

The trading price of our common stock is likely to continue to be volatile.

 

The trading price of our common stock has been highly volatile and could continue to be subject to wide fluctuations in response to various factors, some of which are beyond our control. The stock market in general has experienced, and likely will continue to experience, substantial price and volume fluctuations that are often unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performances of companies. Our common stock may be traded by short sellers which may put pressure on the supply and demand for our company stock, further influencing volatility in its market price. Public perception and other factors outside of our control may additionally impact our stock price and volatility. The market price of our common stock will likely fluctuate significantly in response to the following or other factors, again some of which are beyond are control:

 

  Significant delays in our supply channel;
  Inability to raise additional capital or do so on favorable terms, if necessary, to maintain or grow our operations;
  Additions or departures of key personnel;
  Future sales of our common stock;
  Stock market price and volume fluctuations attributable to inconsistent trading volume levels of our stock;
  Commencement of or involvement in litigation; and
  Our inability to effectively manage our current and future operations.

 

 

 

 21 

 

 

We may fail to meet our publicly announced guidance or other expectations about our business, which could cause our stock price to decline.

 

From time-to-time we may provide guidance regarding our expected financial and business performance. Correctly identifying key factors affecting business conditions and predicting future events is inherently an uncertain process, and our guidance may not ultimately be accurate. Our guidance is based on certain assumptions such as those relating to sales volumes (which generally are not linear throughout a given period), average sales prices, supplier and commodity costs, and planned cost reductions. If our guidance varies from actual results due to our assumptions not being met or the impact on our financial performance that could occur as a result of various risks and uncertainties, the market value of our common stock could decline significantly.

 

Transactions relating to our convertible notes may dilute the ownership interest of existing stockholders or may otherwise depress the price of our common stock.

 

The conversion of some or all of the convertible notes issued by us, or our subsidiaries would dilute the ownership interests of existing stockholders to the extent we deliver shares upon conversion of any of such notes by their holders, and we may be required to deliver a significant number of shares. Any sales in the public market of the common stock issuable upon such conversion could adversely affect their prevailing market prices. In addition, the existence of the convertible senior notes may encourage short selling by market participants because the conversion of such notes could be used to satisfy short positions, or the anticipated conversion of such notes into shares of our common stock could depress the price of our common stock.

 

We do not anticipate paying any dividends on our common stock.

 

We do not anticipate paying any dividends on our common stock for the foreseeable future. Rather, we intend to retain any future earnings for use in the operation and expansion of our business.

 

General Risk Factors

 

Unanticipated changes in our tax provisions, the adoption of a new U.S. tax legislation, or exposure to additional income tax liabilities could affect our profitability.

 

We are subject to income taxes, and are therefore subject to potential tax examinations, in the United States. Tax authorities may disagree with our tax positions and assess additional taxes. We regularly assess the likely outcome of these examinations in order to determine the appropriateness of our tax provision. However, there can be no assurance that we will accurately predict the outcomes of these potential examinations, and the amounts ultimately paid upon resolution of examinations could be materially different from the amount previously included in our income tax expense and therefore, could have a material impact on our tax provision, net income, and cash flows. In addition, our future effective tax rate could be adversely affected by changes to our operating structure, changes in the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities, changes in tax laws, and the discovery of new information in the course of our tax return preparation process. In addition, recently announced proposals for new U.S. tax legislation could have a material effect on the results of our operations, if enacted.

 

We are susceptible to changes in employment laws and regulations or to changes in employment classifications by government agencies.

 

As we expand our operations, we may become subject to additional federal and state employment laws. Therefore, we may be required to allocate resources, including management’s time, to establishing a policy pursuant to which we evaluate any changes in federal and state laws to ensure our compliance with these requirements. In addition, other factors beyond our control, including increases in minimum wage requirements, overtime pay, healthcare reform, and other laws and regulations affecting employees, independent contractors, and other third-party service providers, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operation.

 

 

 

 22 

 

 

We depend on third-party providers for internet, other communication infrastructures and data management systems upon which our operations critically rely.

 

We rely on third-party service providers for substantially all of our communication and information technology systems, including for product data management, procurement, inventory management, operations planning and execution, sales, service, and logistics, financial, tax and regulatory compliance systems. We rely on our third-party service providers to protect our systems and databases against intellectual property theft, data breaches, sabotage and other external or internal cyber-attacks or misappropriation. No assurances can be made that third-party service providers will protect against those and other risks. Any disruption, either temporary or permanent, to our communication and technology systems would likely have a significant adverse material effect on our business, financial condition, and operating results.

 

Our operations could be adversely affected by events outside of our control, such as natural disasters, wars, or health epidemics.

 

We may be impacted by natural disasters, wars, health epidemics, or other events outside of our control. If major disasters such as earthquakes, floods, fires, or other events occur, or our information system or communications breaks down or operates improperly, our headquarters and/or exploration operations on our various mining properties may be seriously damaged, or we may have to stop or delay our operations. In addition, the global COVID-19 pandemic has impacted economic markets, manufacturing operations, supply chains, employment and consumer behavior in nearly every geographic region and industry across the world, and we have been, and may in the future be, adversely affected as a result. We may incur expenses or delays relating to such events outside of our control, which could have a material adverse impact on our business, operating results, and financial condition.

 

Item 2. Financial Information.

 

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Fiscal Year End

 

We have included with this offering circular unaudited financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and September 30, 2023, as well as audited financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022.

 

Forward-Looking Statements

 

Certain statements, other than purely historical information, including estimates, projections, statements relating to our business plans, objectives, and expected operating results, and the assumptions upon which those statements are based, are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words believes, project, expects, anticipates, estimates, intends, strategy, plan, may, will, would, will be, will continue, will likely result, and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties which may cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. Our ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors which could have a material adverse effect on our operations and future prospects on a consolidated basis include but are not limited to changes in economic conditions, legislative/regulatory changes, availability of capital, interest rates, competition, and generally accepted accounting principles. These risks and uncertainties should also be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements.

 

Business Development Plan

 

Primary market: Services will be marketed in various social media portal, blogs, press releases, newsletters, franchise portals, our website, YouTube, and via social events where we will be presenting our business card containing a bar code people can scan.

 

 

 

 23 

 

 

Secondary market research: registering with BBB (Better business Bureau), Chamber of Commerce, attending Franchise Shows and handing out our business cards, may be worth having a booth at the franchise show, AFA (American Franchise Association), IFA (International Franchise Association), Franchise journal publication, The Great American Franchise Expo, Franchise times, Franchise Business Review and a blog that discusses franchise news such as Blue MauMau. In addition to this we will network by attending various events on EventBrite and other such networking events as they arise.

 

In accordance with the International Franchise Association the “The overall number of franchise establishments will increase by almost 15,000 units in 2023, or 1.9%, to 805,000 units in the U.S. Franchising added approximately 254,000 jobs in 2023. Growing at 3.0%, total franchise employment is forecasted to reach 8.7 million.

 

Franchises’ GDP share of the overall economy will remain stable at 3%. Compared with 2022, franchises’ GDP — the monetary value of all the finished goods and services produced within U.S. borders — will grow at a slightly slower pace of 4.2% to $521.3 billion.

 

Service-based industries and quick-service restaurants will witness higher growth than other industries. On the state and regional level, the report shows that states have experienced different rates of franchise business growth due to disparities in business climates, migration trends, the labor market, and major industry investments.

 

Summary of Our Opportunity

 

Franchise Consulting service will be provided without any charge to the end-user by SportsQuest. It is only after the sale is made by the franchisor that the franchisor will pay 25-100% of the franchise fee to us as the franchise consultant. This methodology proves to have no pressure tactic for the potential franchisee or end-user. As FCPs we ensure that the franchisee or the potential franchisee receives valuable information and support without the direct pressure tactics some franchisors utilize to close the sale. Moreover, the support provided by the franchise consultant continues until the end-user becomes a franchisee. The best part is that as FCPs we do not favor one franchisor over another, as we work with the potential franchisee by finding out exactly what their needs are, based on their lifestyle and financial capability. As one can see there are numerous benefits to working with a franchise consultant versus going directly to a franchisor.

 

The secondary service provided by SportsQuest is selling unused or excess leads to franchisors similar to franchise portals such as franchisegator.com

 

Our third revenue source is from speaking to potential private businesses that wish to franchise their business. The president of the company was able to franchise his own private business and grow it into 300 plus locations prior to selling the opportunity creating an exit strategy for the business.

 

The fourth revenue source comes from the Presidents many years in the mergers and acquisitions business and his ability to take private companies public should the need arise for them to raise funds in the public markets or need that exit strategy most companies can benefit from.

 

The fifth revenue source comes from referrals we provide to potential franchisees for funding and or legal advice.

Company board members met several times to discuss the recovery of certain shares of Allan Tucker, Mike Barbee, and Jeff Burns which remain unpaid for. The Company retained a litigation barrister Martin Shell to attempt to recover these shares.

 

As our common stock is not presently listed for trading or quotation on a national securities exchange or NASDAQ, we are not presently required to and do not have any board committees.

Our entire board of directors handles the functions that would otherwise be handled by an audit committee. We do not currently have the capital resources to pay director fees to a qualified independent expert who would be willing to serve on our board and who would be willing to act as an audit committee financial expert. As our business expands and as we appoint others to our board of directors, we expect that we will seek a qualified independent expert to become a member of our board of directors. Before retaining any such expert, our board would make a determination as to whether such a person is independent.

Due to our small size and limited operations to date, we do not presently have a nominating committee, compensation committee or other committee performing similar functions.

Regarding indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act, which may be permitted to officers or directors under applicable state law, the Company is informed that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, indemnification is against public policy, as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

The ability of individual stockholders to trade their shares in a particular state may be subject to various rules and regulations of that state. A number of states require that an issuer’s securities be registered in their state or appropriately exempted from registration before the securities are permitted to trade in that state. At present, we have no plans to register our securities in any particular state. Further, our shares may be subject to the provisions of Section 15(g) and Rule 15g-9 of the Exchange Act, commonly referred to as the “penny stock” rule. Section 15(g) sets forth certain requirements for transactions in penny stocks and Rule 15g-9(d)(1) incorporates the definition of penny stock as that used in Rule 3a51-1 of the Exchange Act.

 

The SEC generally defines penny stock to be any equity security that has a market price less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Rule 3a51-1 provides that any equity security is considered to be a penny stock unless that security is: registered and traded on a national securities exchange meeting specified criteria set by the SEC; authorized for quotation on The NASDAQ Stock Market; issued by a registered investment company; excluded from the definition on the basis of price (at least $5.00 per share) or the issuer’s net tangible assets; or exempted from the definition by the SEC. Broker-dealers who sell penny stocks to persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally persons with assets in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 by an individual, or $300,000 together with his or her spouse), are subject to additional sales practice requirements.

 

For transactions covered by these rules, broker-dealers must make a special suitability determination for the purchase of such securities and must have received the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to the purchase. Additionally, for any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require the delivery, prior to the first transaction of a risk disclosure document relating to the penny stock market. A broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, and current quotations for the securities. Finally, monthly statements must be sent to clients disclosing recent price information for the penny stocks held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks. Consequently, these rules may restrict the ability of broker-dealers to trade and/or maintain a market in our common stock and may affect the ability of stockholders to sell their shares.

 

As of October 14, 2024, out of a total of 5,000,000,000 shares of Common Stock authorized, there are a total of 3,344,163,151 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding, of which 660,372,569 shares are issued as restricted securities and can only be sold or otherwise transferred pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act or pursuant to an available exemption from registration, all of which are held by non-affiliates.

In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, a person (or persons whose shares are aggregated) who has beneficially owned restricted shares of a reporting company for at least six months, including any person who may be deemed to be an “affiliate” of the company (as the term “affiliate” is defined under the Securities Act), is entitled to sell, within any three-month period, an amount of shares that does not exceed the greater of (i) the average weekly trading volume in the company’s common stock, as reported through the automated quotation system of a registered securities association, during the four calendar weeks preceding such sale or (ii) 1% of the shares then outstanding. In order for a stockholder to rely on Rule 144, adequate current public information with respect to the company must be available. A person who is not deemed to be an affiliate of the company and has not been an affiliate for the most recent three months, and who has held restricted shares for at least one year is entitled to sell such shares without regard to the various resale limitations under Rule 144. Under Rule 144, the requirements of paragraphs (c), (e), (f), and (h) of such Rule do not apply to restricted securities sold for the account of a person who is not an affiliate of an issuer at the time of the sale and has not been an affiliate during the preceding three months, provided the securities have been beneficially owned by the seller for a period of at least one year prior to their sale. For purposes of this registration statement, a controlling stockholder is considered to be a person who owns 10% or more of the company’s total outstanding shares or is otherwise an affiliate of the Company. No individual person owning shares that are considered to be not restricted owns more than 10% of the Company’s total outstanding shares.

Preferred Stock in General

 

The preferred stock of the Company may be issued from time to time by the Board of Directors in one or more series. The description of shares of each series of preferred stock will be set forth in resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors and a Certificate of Designation to be filed as required by Delaware law prior to issuance of any shares of the series. The Certificate of Designation will set the number of shares to be included in each series of preferred stock and set the designations, preferences, conversion, or other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to distribution, qualifications, or terms and conditions of redemption relating to the shares of each series. However, the Board of Directors is not authorized to change the right of the common stock to vote one vote per share on all matters submitted for shareholder action. The authority of the Board of Directors with respect to each series of preferred stock includes, but is not limited to, setting, or changing the following:

 

  · The number of shares constituting such series and the distinctive designation of such series; 
     
  · The dividend rate on the shares of such series, whether dividends shall be cumulative, and, if so, from which date or dates, and the relative rights of priority, if any, of payment of dividends on shares of such series;
     
  · Whether such series shall have voting rights, in addition to the voting rights provided by law, and, if so, the terms of such voting rights;
     
  · Whether such series shall have conversion privileges, and, if so, the terms and conditions of such conversion, including provision for adjustment of the conversion rate in such events as the Board of Directors shall determine; 
     
  · Whether or not the shares of such series shall be redeemable, and, if so, the terms and conditions of such redemption, including the date or dates upon or after which they shall be redeemable, and the amount per share payable in case of redemption, which amount may vary under different conditions and at different redemption dates;
     
  · Whether such series shall have a sinking fund for the redemption or purchase of shares of such series, and, if so, the terms and amount of such sinking fund;
     
  · The rights of the shares of such series in the event of voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, and the relative rights of priority, if any, of payment of shares of such series;
     
  · Any other relative rights, preferences, and limitations of such series. 

 

The Company is authorized to issue up to 1,200,000 shares of Class A preferred stock, and 1,000,000 shares of Class B preferred stock, par value $0.01. As of the date of this filing, there are 1,200,000 shares of Class A preferred stock and 1,000,000 shares of Class B preferred stock issued and outstanding. The rights and preferences of the Series A and Series B Preferred Stock are described below.

 

Class A Preferred Stock:

 

Series A Preferred Stock at the conversion ratio of five hundred (500) shares of Common Stock for each single (1) share of Series A Preferred Stock. If at least one share of Series A Preferred Stock is issued and outstanding, then the total aggregate issued shares of Series A Preferred Stock at any given time, regardless of their number, shall have voting rights equal to three (3) times the sum of the total number of shares of Common Stock which are issued and outstanding at the time of voting, plus, the total number of votes granted to any preferred stock series which are issued and outstanding at the time of voting.

 

 

 

 38 

 

 

Class B Preferred Stock:

 

Series B Preferred Stock at the conversion ratio of one hundred (100) shares of Common Stock for each single (1) share of Series B Preferred Stock. Each share of Series B Preferred Stock shall have one hundred (100) votes for any election or other vote placed before the shareholders of the Company.

 

Transfer Agent and Registrar

 

The transfer agent and registrar for our Common Stock is Empire Stock Transfer Inc., with an address at 1859 Whitney Mesa Dr., Henderson, NV 89014. Their phone number is 702-818-5898.

 

Item 12. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

 

Our articles provide to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware Law that our directors or officers shall not be personally liable to the Company or our stockholders for damages for breach of such directors’ or officers’ fiduciary duty. The effect of this provision of our articles is to eliminate our rights and the rights of our stockholders (through stockholders’ derivative suits on behalf of the Company) to recover damages against a director or officer for breach of the fiduciary duty of care as a director or officer (including breaches resulting from negligent or grossly negligent behavior), except under certain situations defined by statute. We believe that the indemnification provisions in our articles are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers.

 

Delaware corporate law provides that a corporation may indemnify a director, officer, employee or agent made a party to an action by reason of that fact that he was a director, officer employee or agent of the corporation or was serving at the request of the corporation against expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation and with respect to any criminal action, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, the registrant has been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is therefore unenforceable.

SPORTSQUEST, INC.

NOTES TO SEPTEMBER 30, 2024, AND 2023

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

 

Note 1 – Organization and Operations

 

Sportsquest Inc., a Delaware corporation, (the “Company”) was formed under the laws of the State of Delaware on April 3, 1986. Office address is located at 500 S Australian Ave, 600 West Palm Beach FI 33401 USA.

 

The Sportsquest business was created to develop, own and manage high end sports events and their operating entities, as well as executing a growth strategy involving acquisition of diverse and effective sports marketing platforms. SportsQuest was incorporated in April 3, 1986 in Delaware under the name Bay Head Ventures, Inc. The Company has been managing the US Pro Golf Tour and anticipates it will continue to manage USPGT for the foreseeable future. SportsQuest trades on the Pink Sheets under “SPQS.PK”. SportsQuest holds significant value in content media and is refocusing is business model.

 

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The Company’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

 

Principle of consolidation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include only the accounts of the parent company as of September 30, 2024 and 2023. 

 

Use of Estimates and Assumptions and Critical Accounting Estimates and Assumptions

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date(s) of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period(s).Critical accounting estimates are estimates for which (a) the nature of the estimate is material due to the levels of subjectivity and judgment necessary to account for highly uncertain matters or the susceptibility of such matters to change and (b) the impact of the estimate on financial condition or operating performance is material. The Company’s critical accounting estimates and assumptions affecting the financial statements were:

 

  (i) Assumption as a going concern: Management assumes that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets, and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.

 

These significant accounting estimates or assumptions bear the risk of change due to the fact that there are uncertainties attached to these estimates or assumptions, and certain estimates or assumptions are difficult to measure or value. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Management regularly evaluates the key factors and assumptions used to develop the estimates utilizing currently available information, changes in facts and circumstances, historical experience and reasonable assumptions. After such evaluations, if deemed appropriate, those estimates are adjusted accordingly.

 

Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

 

 

 F-5 

 

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company follows paragraph 825-10-50-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for disclosures about fair value of its financial instruments and paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Paragraph 820-10-35-37”) to measure the fair value of its financial instruments. Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. 

 

 To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three (3) broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The three (3) levels of fair value hierarchy defined by Paragraph 820-10-35-37 are described below:

 

Level 1   Quoted market prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date.
Level 2   Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date.
Level 3   Pricing inputs that are generally observable inputs and not corroborated by market data.

 

Financial assets are considered Level 3 when their fair values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable.

 

The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. If the inputs used to measure the financial assets and liabilities fall within more than one level described above, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument. The carrying amount of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, prepaid expenses, accounts payable and accrued expenses, approximate their fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments.

 

Transactions involving related parties cannot be presumed to be carried out on an arm’s-length basis, as the requisite conditions of competitive, free-market dealings may not exist. Representations about transactions with related parties, if made, shall not imply that the related party transactions were consummated on terms equivalent to those that prevail in arm’s-length transactions unless such representations can be substantiated.

 

Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Expenditures for major additions and betterments are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives, which range from five (5) Periods for computer equipment to seven (7) Periods for office furniture. Upon sale or retirement of office equipment, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in statements of operations. As of September 30, 2024, and 2023 the company has no investment in Property and equipment

Related Parties

 

The Company follows subtopic 850-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions. Pursuant to Section 850-10-20 the related parties include: a. affiliates of the Company; b. entities for which investments in their equity securities would be required, absent the election of the fair value option under the Fair Value Option Subsection of Section 825–10–15, to be accounted for by the equity method by the investing entity; c. trusts for the benefit of employees, such as pension and profit-sharing trusts that are managed by or under the trusteeship of management; d. principal owners of the Company; e. management of the Company; f. other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests; and g. other parties that can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or that have an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests.

 

The financial statements shall include disclosures of material related party transactions, other than compensation arrangements, expense allowances, and other similar items in the ordinary course of business. However, disclosure of transactions that are eliminated in the preparation of financial statements is not required in those statements.

 

The disclosures shall include: a. the nature of the relationship(s) involved; b. a description of the transactions, including transactions to which no amounts or nominal amounts were ascribed, for each of the periods for which income statements are presented, and such other information deemed necessary to an understanding of the effects of the transactions on the financial statements; c. the dollar amounts of transactions for each of the periods for which income statements are presented and the effects of any change in the method of establishing the terms from that used in the preceding period; and d. amounts due from or to related parties as of the date of each balance sheet presented and, if not otherwise apparent, the terms and manner of settlement.

 

Commitments and Contingencies

 

The Company follows subtopic 450-20 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification to report accounting for contingencies. Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.

 

If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potential material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, and an estimate of the range of possible losses, if determinable and material, would be disclosed.

 

Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed. Management does not believe, based upon information available at this time that these matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, there is no assurance that such matters will not materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial position, and results of operations or cash flows.

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company applies paragraph 605-10-S99-1 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for revenue recognition. The Company recognizes revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned.

 

The Company considers revenue realized or realizable and earned when all of the following criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) the product has been shipped or the services have been rendered to the customer, (iii) the sales price is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured.

 

The Company derives its revenues from sales contracts with its customers with revenues being generated upon rendering of services. Persuasive evidence of an arrangement is demonstrated via invoice; service is considered provided when the service is delivered to the customers; and the sales price to the customer is fixed upon acceptance of the purchase order and there is no separate sales rebate, discount, or volume incentive.

 

A right of return exists for customers’ retainers that were received prior to commencement of services. If a customer cancels a service contract subsequent to the commencement date, the customer is entitled to a refund, except for services already provided.

 

Income Tax Provision

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under Section 740-10-30 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns.

 

Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the Period in which the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent management concludes it is more likely than not that the assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the Periods in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.

 

The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the statements of operations in the period that includes the enactment date.

 

The Company adopted the provisions of paragraph 740-10-25-13 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Paragraph 740-10-25-13 addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under paragraph 740-10-25-13, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position.

 

The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent (50%) likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Paragraph 740-10-25-13 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures.

 

The estimated future tax effects of temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities are reported in the accompanying balance sheets, as well as tax credit carry-backs and carry-forwards. The Company periodically reviews the recoverability of deferred tax assets recorded on its balance sheets and provides valuation allowances as management deems necessary.

 

 

 

 F-8 

 

 

Management makes judgments as to the interpretation of the tax laws that might be challenged upon an audit and cause changes to previous estimates of tax liability. In addition, the Company operates within multiple taxing jurisdictions and is subject to audit in these jurisdictions. In management’s opinion, adequate provisions for income taxes have been made for all Periods. If actual taxable income by tax jurisdiction varies from estimates, additional allowances or reversals of reserves may be necessary.

 

Uncertain Tax Positions

 

The Company did not take any uncertain tax positions and had no unrecognized tax liabilities or benefits in accordance with the provisions of Section 740-10-25 at September 30, 2024 and 2023.

 

Earnings per Share

 

Earnings Per Share is the amount of earnings attributable to each share of common stock. For convenience, the term is used to refer to either earnings or loss per share. Earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed pursuant to section 260-10-45 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Pursuant to ASC Paragraphs 260-10-45-10 through 260-10-45-16 Basic EPS shall be computed by dividing income available to common stockholders (the numerator) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding (the denominator) during the period. Income available to common stockholders shall be computed by deducting both the dividends declared in the period on preferred stock (whether or not paid) and the dividends accumulated for the period on cumulative preferred stock (whether or not earned) from income from continuing operations (if that amount appears in the income statement) and also from net income. The computation of diluted EPS is similar to the computation of basic EPS except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the dilutive potential common shares had been issued during the period to reflect the potential dilution that could occur from common shares issuable through contingent shares issuance arrangement, stock options or warrants.

  

Pursuant to ASC Paragraphs 260-10-45-45-21 through 260-10-45-45-23 Diluted EPS shall be based on the most advantageous conversion rate or exercise price from the standpoint of the security holder. The dilutive effect of outstanding call options and warrants (and their equivalents) issued by the reporting entity shall be reflected in diluted EPS by application of the treasury stock method unless the provisions of paragraphs 260-10-45-35 through 45-36 and 260-10-55-8 through 55-11 require that another method be applied.

 

Equivalents of options and warrants include non-vested stock granted to employees, stock purchase contracts, and partially paid stock subscriptions (see paragraph 260–10–55–23). Anti-dilutive contracts, such as purchased put options and purchased call options, shall be excluded from diluted EPS. Under the treasury stock method: a. Exercise of options and warrants shall be assumed at the beginning of the period (or at time of issuance, if later) and common shares shall be assumed to be issued. b. The proceeds from the exercise shall be assumed to be used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. (See paragraphs 260-10-45-29 and 260-10-55-4 through 55-5.) c. The incremental shares (the difference between the number of shares assumed issued and the number of shares assumed purchased) shall be included in the denominator of the diluted EPS computation.

 

There were no potentially debt or equity instruments issued and outstanding at any time during the Periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.

Cash Flows Reporting

 

The Company adopted paragraph 230-10-45-24 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for cash flows reporting, classifies cash receipts and payments according to whether they stem from operating, investing, or financing activities and provides definitions of each category, and uses the indirect or reconciliation method (“Indirect method”) as defined by paragraph 230-10-45-25 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification to report net cash flow from operating activities by adjusting net income to reconcile it to net cash flow from operating activities by removing the effects of (a) all deferrals of past operating cash receipts and payments and all accruals of expected future operating cash receipts and payments and (b) all items that are included in net income that do not affect operating cash receipts and payments. The Company reports the reporting currency equivalent of foreign currency cash flows, using the current exchange rate at the time of the cash flows and the effect of exchange rate changes on cash held in foreign currencies is reported as a separate item in the reconciliation of beginning and ending balances of cash and cash equivalents and separately provides information about investing and financing activities not resulting in cash receipts or payments in the period pursuant to paragraph 830-230-45-1 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification.

The Company follows the guidance in Section 855-10-50 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for the disclosure of subsequent events.

Report of an Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the shareholders and the board of directors of SportsQuest, Inc

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of SportsQuest, Inc (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2023, and 2022 the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows, for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2023, and 2022 and the related notes collectively referred to as the “financial statements.

 

In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2023, and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2023, and 2022, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

 

Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the company will continue as a going concern as disclosed in Note 3 to the financial statement, the Company has continuously incurred a net loss of $110,461 for the year ended December 31, 2023, and an accumulated deficit of $3,128,826 at December 31, 2023. The continuation of the Company as a going concern through December 31, 2023, is dependent upon improving the profitability and the continuing financial support from its stockholders. Management believes the existing shareholders or external financing will provide additional cash to meet the Company’s obligations as they become due.

 

These factors raise substantial doubt about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of the 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. 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. 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.

 

Critical Audit Matters

Critical audit matters are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. Communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements taken as a whole and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate. There are no critical audit matters to communicate as of December 31, 2023

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The Company’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

 

Principle of consolidation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include only the accounts of the parent company as of December 31, 2023 and 2022. 

 

Use of Estimates and Assumptions and Critical Accounting Estimates and Assumptions

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date(s) of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period(s).Critical accounting estimates are estimates for which (a) the nature of the estimate is material due to the levels of subjectivity and judgment necessary to account for highly uncertain matters or the susceptibility of such matters to change and (b) the impact of the estimate on financial condition or operating performance is material. The Company’s critical accounting estimates and assumptions affecting the financial statements were:

 

  (i) Assumption as a going concern: Management assumes that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets, and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.

 

These significant accounting estimates or assumptions bear the risk of change due to the fact that there are uncertainties attached to these estimates or assumptions, and certain estimates or assumptions are difficult to measure or value.

 

 Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Management regularly evaluates the key factors and assumptions used to develop the estimates utilizing currently available information, changes in facts and circumstances, historical experience and reasonable assumptions. After such evaluations, if deemed appropriate, those estimates are adjusted accordingly.

 

 

 

 F-17 

 

 

Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company follows paragraph 825-10-50-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for disclosures about fair value of its financial instruments and paragraph 820-10-35-37 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Paragraph 820-10-35-37”) to measure the fair value of its financial instruments. Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. 

 

To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements and related disclosures, Paragraph 820-10-35-37 establishes a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three (3) broad levels. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. The three (3) levels of fair value hierarchy defined by Paragraph 820-10-35-37 are described below:

 

Level 1   Quoted market prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date.
Level 2   Pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date.
Level 3   Pricing inputs that are generally observable inputs and not corroborated by market data.

 

Financial assets are considered Level 3 when their fair values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable.

 

The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs. If the inputs used to measure the financial assets and liabilities fall within more than one level described above, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.

 

The carrying amount of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, prepaid expenses, accounts payable and accrued expenses, approximate their fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments.

 

Transactions involving related parties cannot be presumed to be carried out on an arm’s-length basis, as the requisite conditions of competitive, free-market dealings may not exist. Representations about transactions with related parties, if made, shall not imply that the related party transactions were consummated on terms equivalent to those that prevail in arm’s-length transactions unless such representations can be substantiated.

 

Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Expenditures for major additions and betterments are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives, which range from five (5) years for computer equipment to seven (7) years for office furniture. Upon sale or retirement of office equipment, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in statements of operations. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022 the company has no investment in Property and equipment

 

 

 

 F-18 

 

 

Related Parties

 

The Company follows subtopic 850-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions. Pursuant to Section 850-10-20 the related parties include: a. affiliates of the Company; b. entities for which investments in their equity securities would be required, absent the election of the fair value option under the Fair Value Option Subsection of Section 825–10–15, to be accounted for by the equity method by the investing entity; c. trusts for the benefit of employees, such as pension and profit-sharing trusts that are managed by or under the trusteeship of management; d. principal owners of the Company; e. management of the Company; f. other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests; and g. other parties that can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or that have an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests.

 

The financial statements shall include disclosures of material related party transactions, other than compensation arrangements, expense allowances, and other similar items in the ordinary course of business. However, disclosure of transactions that are eliminated in the preparation of financial statements is not required in those statements.

 

The disclosures shall include: a. the nature of the relationship(s) involved; b. a description of the transactions, including transactions to which no amounts or nominal amounts were ascribed, for each of the periods for which income statements are presented, and such other information deemed necessary to an understanding of the effects of the transactions on the financial statements; c. the dollar amounts of transactions for each of the periods for which income statements are presented and the effects of any change in the method of establishing the terms from that used in the preceding period; and d. amounts due from or to related parties as of the date of each balance sheet presented and, if not otherwise apparent, the terms and manner of settlement.

 

Commitments and Contingencies

 

The Company follows subtopic 450-20 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification to report accounting for contingencies. Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.

 

If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potential material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, and an estimate of the range of possible losses, if determinable and material, would be disclosed.

 

Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed. Management does not believe, based upon information available at this time that these matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, there is no assurance that such matters will not materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial position, and results of operations or cash flows.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company applies paragraph 605-10-S99-1 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for revenue recognition. The Company recognizes revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned.

 

 

 

 F-19 

 

 

The Company considers revenue realized or realizable and earned when all of the following criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) the product has been shipped or the services have been rendered to the customer, (iii) the sales price is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured.

 

The Company derives its revenues from sales contracts with its customers with revenues being generated upon rendering of services. Persuasive evidence of an arrangement is demonstrated via invoice; service is considered provided when the service is delivered to the customers; and the sales price to the customer is fixed upon acceptance of the purchase order and there is no separate sales rebate, discount, or volume incentive.

 

A right of return exists for customers’ retainers that were received prior to commencement of services. If a customer cancels a service contract subsequent to the commencement date, the customer is entitled to a refund, except for services already provided.

 

Income Tax Provision

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under Section 740-10-30 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, which requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns.

 

Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the extent management concludes it is more likely than not that the assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.

 

The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the statements of operations in the period that includes the enactment date.

 

The Company adopted the provisions of paragraph 740-10-25-13 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Paragraph 740-10-25-13 addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under paragraph 740-10-25-13, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position.

 

The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent (50%) likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Paragraph 740-10-25-13 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures.

 

The estimated future tax effects of temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities are reported in the accompanying balance sheets, as well as tax credit carry-backs and carry-forwards. The Company periodically reviews the recoverability of deferred tax assets recorded on its balance sheets and provides valuation allowances as management deems necessary.

 

Management makes judgments as to the interpretation of the tax laws that might be challenged upon an audit and cause changes to previous estimates of tax liability. In addition, the Company operates within multiple taxing jurisdictions and is subject to audit in these jurisdictions. In management’s opinion, adequate provisions for income taxes have been made for all years. If actual taxable income by tax jurisdiction varies from estimates, additional allowances or reversals of reserves may be necessary.

 

Uncertain Tax Positions

 

The Company did not take any uncertain tax positions and had no unrecognized tax liabilities or benefits in accordance with the provisions of Section 740-10-25 at December 31, 2023 and 2022.

 

 

 

 F-20 

 

 

Earnings per Share

 

Earnings Per Share is the amount of earnings attributable to each share of common stock. For convenience, the term is used to refer to either earnings or loss per share. Earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed pursuant to section 260-10-45 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Pursuant to ASC Paragraphs 260-10-45-10 through 260-10-45-16 Basic EPS shall be computed by dividing income available to common stockholders (the numerator) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding (the denominator) during the period. Income available to common stockholders shall be computed by deducting both the dividends declared in the period on preferred stock (whether or not paid) and the dividends accumulated for the period on cumulative preferred stock (whether or not earned) from income from continuing operations (if that amount appears in the income statement) and also from net income. The computation of diluted EPS is similar to the computation of basic EPS except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the dilutive potential common shares had been issued during the period to reflect the potential dilution that could occur from common shares issuable through contingent shares issuance arrangement, stock options or warrants.

  

Pursuant to ASC Paragraphs 260-10-45-45-21 through 260-10-45-45-23 Diluted EPS shall be based on the most advantageous conversion rate or exercise price from the standpoint of the security holder. The dilutive effect of outstanding call options and warrants (and their equivalents) issued by the reporting entity shall be reflected in diluted EPS by application of the treasury stock method unless the provisions of paragraphs 260-10-45-35 through 45-36 and 260-10-55-8 through 55-11 require that another method be applied.

 

Equivalents of options and warrants include non-vested stock granted to employees, stock purchase contracts, and partially paid stock subscriptions (see paragraph 260–10–55–23). Anti-dilutive contracts, such as purchased put options and purchased call options, shall be excluded from diluted EPS. Under the treasury stock method: a. Exercise of options and warrants shall be assumed at the beginning of the period (or at time of issuance, if later) and common shares shall be assumed to be issued. b. The proceeds from exercise shall be assumed to be used to purchase common stock at the average market price during the period. (See paragraphs 260-10-45-29 and 260-10-55-4 through 55-5.) c. The incremental shares (the difference between the number of shares assumed issued and the number of shares assumed purchased) shall be included in the denominator of the diluted EPS computation.

 

There were no potentially debt or equity instruments issued and outstanding at any time during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.

 

Cash Flows Reporting

 

The Company adopted paragraph 230-10-45-24 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for cash flows reporting, classifies cash receipts and payments according to whether they stem from operating, investing, or financing activities and provides definitions of each category, and uses the indirect or reconciliation method (“Indirect method”) as defined by paragraph 230-10-45-25 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification to report net cash flow from operating activities by adjusting net income to reconcile it to net cash flow from operating activities by removing the effects of (a) all deferrals of past operating cash receipts and payments and all accruals of expected future operating cash receipts and payments and (b) all items that are included in net income that do not affect operating cash receipts and payments. The Company reports the reporting currency equivalent of foreign currency cash flows, using the current exchange rate at the time of the cash flows and the effect of exchange rate changes on cash held in foreign currencies is reported as a separate item in the reconciliation of beginning and ending balances of cash and cash equivalents and separately provides information about investing and financing activities not resulting in cash receipts or payments in the period pursuant to paragraph 830-230-45-1 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification.

 

Subsequent Events

 

The Company follows the guidance in Section 855-10-50 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification for the disclosure of subsequent events. The Company will evaluate subsequent events through the date when the financial statements were issued and has determined to disclose the underlisted events As of December 31, 2023, there are no subsequent events to disclose.

2.5 Manner Of Giving Notice; Affidavit Of Notice.

 

Written notice of any meeting of stockholders, if mailed, is given when deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, directed to the stockholder at his address as it appears on the records of the corporation. Without limiting the manner by which notice otherwise may be given effectively to stockholders, any notice to stockholders may be given by electronic mail or other electronic transmission, in the manner provided in Section 232 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. An affidavit of the secretary or an assistant secretary or of the transfer agent of the corporation that the notice has been given shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein.

 

2.6 Quorum.

 

The holders of a majority of the shares of stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at all meetings of the stockholders for the transaction of business except as otherwise provided by statute or by the certificate of incorporation. If, however, such quorum is not present or represented at any meeting of the stockholders, then either (a) the chairman of the meeting or (b) holders of a majority of the shares of stock entitled to vote who are present, in person or by proxy, shall have power to adjourn the meeting to another place (if any), date or time.

 

2.7 Adjourned Meeting; Notice.

 

When a meeting is adjourned to another place (if any), date or time, unless these Bylaws otherwise require, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the time and place (if any), thereof and the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxyholders may be deemed to be present and vote at such adjourned meeting, are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken. At the adjourned meeting the corporation may transact any business that might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days, or a new record date is affixed for the adjourned meeting, notice of the place (if any), date and time of the adjourned meeting and the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting.

(a) Such person as the Board of Directors may have designated or, in the absence of such a person, the President of the Corporation or, in his or her absence, such person as may be chosen by the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote who are present, in person or by proxy, shall call to order any meeting of the stockholders and act as Chairman of the meeting. In the absence of the Secretary of the Corporation, the Secretary of the meeting shall be such person as the Chairman of the meeting appoints.

 

(b) The Chairman of any meeting of stockholders shall determine the order of business and the procedure at the meeting, including the manner of voting and the conduct of business.

The stockholders entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.12 of these Bylaws, subject to the provisions of Sections 217 and 218 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware (relating to voting rights of fiduciaries, pledgors and joint owners of stock and to voting trusts and other voting agreements).

 

Except as may be otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation, each stockholder shall be entitled to one vote for each share of capital stock held by such stockholder. All elections shall be determined by a plurality of the votes cast, and except as otherwise required by law, all other matters shall be determined by a majority of the votes cast affirmatively or negatively.

 

2.10 Waiver Of Notice.

 

Whenever notice is required to be given under any provision of the General Corporation Law of Delaware or of the certificate of incorporation or these Bylaws, a written waiver thereof, signed by the person entitled to notice, or waiver by electronic mail or other electronic transmission by such person, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to notice. Attendance of a person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the person attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the stockholders need be specified in any written waiver of notice unless so required by the certificate of incorporation or these Bylaws.

 

2.11 Stockholder Action By Written Consent Without A Meeting.

 

Unless otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation, any action required to be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders of the corporation, or any action that may be taken at any annual or special meeting of such stockholders, may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice, and without a vote if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, is (i) signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted, and (ii) delivered to the Corporation in accordance with Section 228(a) of the Delaware General Corporation Law.

 

Every written consent shall bear the date of signature of each stockholder who signs the consent and no written consent shall be effective to take the corporate action referred to therein unless, within sixty (60) days of the date the earliest dated consent is delivered to the Corporation, a written consent or consents signed by a sufficient number of holders to take action are delivered to the Corporation in the manner prescribed in this Section. A telegram,

 

cablegram, electronic mail or other electronic transmission consenting to an action to be taken and transmitted by a stockholder or proxyholder, or by a person or persons authorized to act for a stockholder or proxyholder, shall be deemed to be written, signed and dated for purposes of this Section to the extent permitted by law. Any such consent shall be delivered in accordance with Section 228(d)(1) of the Delaware General Corporation Law.

 

Any copy, facsimile or other reliable reproduction of a consent in writing may be substituted or used in lieu of the original writing for any and all purposes for which the original writing could be used, provided that such copy, facsimile or other reproduction shall be a complete reproduction of the entire original writing.

 

Prompt notice of the taking of the corporate action without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent shall be given to those stockholders who have not consented in writing (including by electronic mail or other electronic transmission as permitted by law). If the action which is consented to is such as would have required the filing of a certificate under any section of the General Corporation Law of Delaware if such action had been voted on by stockholders at a meeting thereof, then the certificate filed under such section shall state, in lieu of any statement required by such section concerning any vote of stockholders, that written notice and written consent have been given as provided in Section 228 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware.

If the Board of Directors does not so fix a record date:

 

(a) The record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held.

 

(b) The record date for determining stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, when no prior action by the Board of Directors is necessary, shall be the day on which the first written consent (including consent by electronic mail or other electronic transmission as permitted by law) is delivered to the corporation.

 

(c) The record date for determining stockholders for any other purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution relating thereto.

 

A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting, if such adjournment is for thirty (30) days or less; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting.

 

2.13 Proxies.

 

Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders or to express consent or dissent to corporate action in writing without a meeting may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder by an instrument in writing or by an electronic transmission permitted by law filed with the secretary of the corporation, but no such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three (3) years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. A proxy shall be deemed signed if the stockholder’s name is placed on the proxy (whether by manual signature, typewriting, telegraphic transmission or otherwise) by the stockholder or the stockholder’s attorney-in-fact. The revocability of a proxy that states on its face that it is irrevocable shall be governed by the provisions of Section 212(e) of the General Corporation Law of Delaware.

Upon the adoption of these bylaws, the number of directors constituting the entire Board of Directors shall be two (2). Thereafter, this number may be changed by a resolution of the Board of Directors or of the stockholders, subject to Section 3.4 of these Bylaws. No reduction of the authorized number of directors shall have the effect of removing any director before such director’s term of office expires.

Except as provided in Section 3.4 of these Bylaws, directors shall be elected at each annual meeting of stockholders to hold office until the next annual meeting.

If at any time, by reason of death or resignation or other cause, the corporation should have no directors in office, then any officer or any stockholder or an executor, administrator, trustee or guardian of a stockholder, or other fiduciary entrusted with like responsibility for the person or estate of a stockholder, may call a special meeting of stockholders in accordance with the provisions of the certificate of incorporation or these Bylaws, or may apply to the Court of Chancery for a decree summarily ordering an election as provided in Section 211 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware.

 

If, at the time of filling any vacancy or any newly created directorship, the directors then in office constitute less than a majority of the whole board (as constituted immediately prior to any such increase), then the Court of Chancery may, upon application of any stockholder or stockholders holding at least ten (10) percent of the total number of the shares at the time outstanding having the right to vote for such directors, summarily order an election to be held to fill any such vacancies or newly created directorships, or to replace the directors chosen by the directors then in office as aforesaid, which election shall be governed by the provisions of Section 211 of the General Corporation Law of Delaware as far as applicable.

Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the directors, or members of a committee of directors, need be specified in any written waiver of notice unless so required by the certificate of incorporation or these Bylaws.

The loan, guaranty or other assistance may be with or without interest and may be unsecured, or secured in such manner as the Board of Directors shall approve, including, without limitation, a pledge of shares of stock of the corporation.

The indemnification provided by this Article VI shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in an official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, to the extent that such additional rights to indemnification are authorized in the certificate of incorporation

In every instance where an attorney or other agent is the person who seeks the right to inspection, the demand under oath shall be accompanied by a power of attorney or such other writing that authorizes the attorney or other agent to so act on behalf of the stockholder. The demand under oath shall be directed to the corporation at its registered office in Delaware or at its principal place of business.

Any director shall have the right to examine the corporation’s stock ledger, a list of its stockholders, and its other books and records for a purpose reasonably related to his or her position as a director.

The Court may summarily order the corporation to permit the director to inspect any and all books and records, the stock ledger, and the stock list and to make copies or extracts therefrom. The Court may, in its discretion, prescribe any limitations or conditions with reference to the inspection, or award such other and further relief as the Court may deem just and proper.

The Company shall not be required to include any shares of the Holder unless the Holder accepts the standard and customary terms of the underwriting as reasonably agreed upon by the Company and the managing underwriter(s) for such offering. The Company will bear all costs associated with the inclusion of the Holder's shares in any offering.

 

V.LIQUIDATION PREFERENCE

In the event INVESTOR delivers such notice to the Corporation as set out above the Corporation will have the right to either keep the Loan outstanding in its current form, or prepay the Loan as set out in Section 10.

 

(e) Upon conversion of the Indebtedness, the Corporation will promptly deliver to INVESTOR a certificate representing the Significant Financing Securities, Change of Control Securities or Securities, as applicable, and, in the case of a Significant Financing or Change of Control, such other documents as purchasers under the Significant Financing or Change of Control, as applicable, are entitled to receive in connection therewith including, but not limited to, an opinion of counsel satisfactory to INVESTOR, acting reasonably, to the effect that such securities are duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, free from pre-emptive rights, and issued in compliance with applicable securities laws. The Corporation will cover all legal fees associated with such conversion including but not limited to the reasonable legal fees of INVESTOR.

 

(f) In the case of a Significant Financing, conversion shall be mandatory in the case that INVESTOR is a participating investor in the Significant Financing.

 

(g) No fractional securities shall be issued and if the conversion provided for in this Section 9 would result in INVESTOR being entitled to receive a fraction of a security, the Corporation shall instead issue upon the conversion the next lesser whole number of securities.

 

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary:

 

(i) unless INVESTOR has notified the Corporation that it does not wish to convert its Indebtedness, upon the issuance of the Significant Financing Securities or the Change of Control Securities to INVESTOR pursuant to Subsection 9(b), INVESTOR shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder of such securities as of the date of the closing of the Significant Financing or Change of Control, as applicable; and

 

(ii) in the case of a Discretionary Conversion, upon the issuance of the Securities to INVESTOR pursuant to Subsection 9(c), INVESTOR shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder of such securities as of the Discretionary Conversion Date,

 

and in each case this Loan Agreement shall be deemed to be cancelled and the Corporation shall have no further obligation to pay INVESTOR under this Loan Agreement.

 

11. Prepayment – Except as otherwise set out in this Section 10, the Corporation does not have the right to prepay the Indebtedness without the prior written consent of INVESTOR. If, upon a Potential Conversion Event, INVESTOR does not convert the Indebtedness, the Corporation may, concurrent with the closing of the Potential Conversion Event, choose, in its sole discretion, to prepay all Indebtedness owing under this Loan Agreement on the date of the Conversion Event. In the event the Indebtedness is not prepaid as set out above, it will remain in full force and effect on the terms set out herein.

12. INVESTOR’s Non-Waiver of Rights – Failure of INVESTOR to enforce any of its rights or remedies under this Loan Agreement will not constitute a waiver of the rights of INVESTOR to later enforce such rights and remedies. No waiver will be effective unless it is in writing and specifically references the provision in this Loan Agreement to which such waiver relates.

 

13. Corporation’s Waiver – The Corporation waives demand and presentment for payment, notice of non-payment, protest and notice of protest of this Loan Agreement.

 

14. Time of the Essence – Time will be of the essence in this Loan Agreement and no extension or variation of this Loan Agreement will operate as a waiver of this provision.

 

15. Enurement – This Loan Agreement will enure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties and their respective successors and assigns; it being understood and agreed that the Corporation shall not have the right to assign this Loan Agreement, nor any of its rights or obligations hereunder, without the prior written consent of INVESTOR, acting in its sole discretion.

 

16. Governing Law – This Loan Agreement (and any transactions, documents, instruments or other agreements contemplated in this Loan Agreement) will be construed and governed exclusively by the laws in force in Florida and the laws of the United States applicable therein, and the courts of Florida will have exclusive jurisdiction to hear and determine all disputes arising hereunder. The undersigned irrevocably attorns to the jurisdiction of said courts and consents to the commencement of proceedings in such courts. This provision will not, however, be construed to impair the rights of INVESTOR to enforce a judgment or award outside said province, including the right to record and enforce a judgment or award in any other jurisdiction.

 

17. Severability – If any provision of this Loan Agreement is determined to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction from which no further appeal lies or is taken, that provision will be deemed to be severed from this Loan Agreement, and the remaining provisions of this Loan Agreement will not be affected because of that and will remain valid and enforceable.

 

18. Further Acts – Each of the parties shall at the request of the other party, and at the expense of the Corporation, execute and deliver any further documents and do all acts and things as that party may reasonably require in order to carry out the true intent and meaning of this Loan Agreement.

 

19. Amendments – No term or provision hereof may be amended except by an instrument in writing signed by all of the parties to this Loan Agreement.

 

20. Counterparts – This Loan Agreement may be executed in counterpart and such counterparts together will constitute a single instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Loan Agreement by electronic means, including by facsimile transmission or by electronic delivery in portable document format (“.pdf”), will be equally effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof. The parties acknowledge and agree that in any legal proceedings between them respecting or in any way relating to this Loan Agreement, each waives the right to raise any defense based on the execution hereof in counterparts or the delivery of such executed counterparts by electronic means.

Exhibit 10.2

 

AFFILIATE AGREEMENT

 

This Affiliate Agreement (“Agreement”) is between American Business Alliance, Inc., DBA Business Alliance (“Company”), and _Zoran Cvetojevic, SportsQuest, Inc. , the undersigned affiliate (“Affiliate”). Company is engaged in the business of consulting with and or representing franchisors in connection with the sale of their franchises or resales of their existing franchises. Company and its affiliates work with potential franchisees and provide them with information to help them determine what type of franchise and which franchisors might be most suitable for them. In consideration of the promises made and intending to be legally bound, Company and Affiliate agree as follows:

 

1.01 Company grants Affiliate the non-exclusive right to refer to the general public new franchise opportunities or resales from Company’s inventory of franchise offerings (the “Company Inventory”) developed through Company’s representation agreements with franchisors and business partners (each, a “Seller”).
   
1.02 The initial term of this Agreement is three years from the date of this Agreement with automatic renewal as described below, unless terminated earlier under the provisions of this Agreement.
   
  If Affiliate is not then in default under this Agreement, then upon expiration of the initial term, the term of this Agreement will automatically renew for additional successive three-year terms unless either party provides written notice of non-renewal to the other party at least 60 days prior to the end of the then-current term. If either party provides timely notice of its intent not to renew this Agreement, then, unless earlier terminated in accordance with its terms, this Agreement terminates on the expiration of the then-current term.
   
  During the initial term and any renewal term, Company may condition renewal on the parties signing Company’s then-current affiliate agreement (which may vary in material ways from this Agreement, including new required training) by providing written notice of the condition to Affiliate at least 60 days prior to the end of the then-current term. If such notice is timely, unless terminated earlier under the provisions of this Agreement, this Agreement will terminate on the expiration of the then-current term; and the relationship between Company and Affiliate will thereafter continue only under the terms of, and only if Affiliate has signed, Company’s then-current affiliate agreement.
   
1.03 Affiliate is free to operate its business nationally and internationally without geographic restraints from Company. Affiliate’s rights under this Agreement are non-exclusive and Company reserves the right to grant others the same rights as Affiliate everywhere.
   
1.04 While this Agreement is in effect, Affiliate shall not work for, join, or be a member of any other franchise brokerage organization, or any company that provides franchise brokerage services or any similar services competitive with Company’s business. Affiliate may enter into an independent commission agreement directly with a franchise system that is not part the Company Inventory, upon giving Company written notice with the name of the franchisor.
   
1.05 Upon any successful franchise sale resulting from Affiliate’s referral to a Seller, Affiliate will send completed BAI Invoice Form to Seller (franchise company). Affiliate will either be paid directly by the Seller in the form of a commission, or Company will be paid the commission, at Company’s discretion, and as specified in the applicable representation/referral agreement between Company and the Seller. Normally, all commissions, referral fees, residual payments, bonuses, and royalties (collectively, “Commissions”) are payable to Company by the applicable Seller. If a Seller pays Affiliate’s Commissions directly to Company, Company hereby assigns to Affiliate its right to 90% of such Commissions and shall forward 90% of such Commissions directly to Affiliate within 24 hours that payment is received (cleared at Company bank) by Company. If Affiliate refers a person to a Seller in the current Company Inventory and the referral results in a sale, Affiliate must inform the Seller that Affiliate is invoicing the sale through Company.

 

A.At Company’s discretion, a Seller may pay Affiliate’s Commissions directly to Affiliate, in which case upon receipt of any such Commission payment, Affiliate agrees to forward to Company an amount equal to 10% of the Commission received. Payment must be received by Company within 10 business days of receipt by Affiliate. After the Seller pays Affiliate 90% of the Commission and pays 10% of the Commission to Company, neither Affiliate nor Company shall have any further obligation to remit to each other any other payments related to that particular franchise sale.

 

 

 

 1 

 

 

B.Commissions will decrease to 5% to the Company and increase to 95% to the Affiliate when the Affiliate has either eight (8) paid invoices or received $250,000 in total referral commissions to Company, whichever is reached first. This new split will continue for the term and any renewal term of this Agreement.
   
C.Pass-Through Commissions will be awarded to Affiliate who receives Commissions over $250,000 during a calendar year, January through December. During this time, upon Commission cap of $250,000 being received, 100% of received Commissions will be paid to Affiliate by Company. This Pass-Through is reset each January.

 

  Commissions are paid solely by Sellers. Subject to Company’s obligation to remit part of Commission payments due to the Affiliate pursuant to this Agreement upon receipt of such payments by Company, Company shall not be liable to Affiliate if a Seller fails to make a required Commission payment. In the event of the failure of a Seller to pay a Commission to Affiliate or Company pursuant to a representation agreement, Company may take such action as it deems appropriate, on its own behalf and on behalf of Affiliate, to recover such Commissions from the Seller or, in the alternative and at the election of Affiliate, assign to Affiliate its rights and interest under the representation contract to collect the unpaid Commissions. Neither Company nor Affiliate is responsible to the other for the errors and omissions of Sellers.
   
1.06 Affiliate will make periodic reports to Company on all its franchise sales, including name of Seller, name of purchaser, amount of initial franchise fee, date of sale, and such other information as Company may require. Reports will be made in such form, manner and time as Company directs.
   
1.07 Affiliate is responsible for and will pay all of its expenses incurred in performance of its obligations under this Agreement, including the generation of leads, and shall not represent that Company is in any way liable or responsible for such expenses. This Agreement shall not be construed as giving Affiliate any authority to ask for or charge such expenses on behalf of Company.
   
1.08 Affiliate will learn about and comply with all applicable federal, state, and local laws, ordinances, rules, regulations, standards, and interpretations thereof (“Laws”), including those related to franchise registration and disclosure. Affiliate will save and hold harmless Company and its officers, directors, and employees, against all claims, demands, actions, damages, costs, and liabilities of any kind (including reasonable attorney fees), arising directly or indirectly out of or in connection within Affiliate’s failure to comply with all Laws.
   
1.09 Affiliate may describe its relationship with Company only as a “Business Alliance Registered Franchise Consultant” or as “an Affiliate of Business Alliance”, and may use the Company trademark “Registered Franchise Consultants” to describe our network of affiliates; but only upon completion of the training described in Section 1.12.A. Affiliate will not permit the public to confuse it with Company, and will prominently state and show to the public that it is “independently owned and operated.” Affiliate will use its own trade name, and will not permit its business to be substantially associated with Company’s trademarks. Affiliate will not use Company’s trademarks as part of its trade name or its legal business name.
   
1.10 This Agreement is applicable only to Affiliate, and may be sold, transferred, or assigned to another party only with the express written approval of the Company, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Any approved sale, transfer or assignment will be subject to Affiliate or its transferee paying to Company a transfer fee not to exceed five percent (5%) of the cost of Company’s then-current initial affiliate fee, and a training fee not to exceed twenty five percent (25%) of the cost of Company’s then-current initial affiliate fee.
   
1.11 Upon Affiliate’s execution of this Agreement and its acceptance by Company, Affiliate agrees to pay to Company the non-refundable initial affiliate fee of twenty-three thousand nine hundred dollars ($23,900) payable in two installments as specified in Section 1.12 for the rights granted in this Agreement.

1.12 Affiliate shall pay to Company the sum of two thousand dollars ($2,000) to reserve a space in the training session noted below. Before the start of the training session, Affiliate will pay the balance due of twenty-one thousand nine hundred dollars ($21,900) in the form of a cashier’s check payable to Company (or wire transfer or other payment method acceptable to Company).

 

A.Company will provide Phase One Virtual training consisting of ten (10) hours of video conferencing along with potential homework and preparation time before each session. This will be conducted in five 2-hour sessions or four 2 1/2-hour sessions. Affiliate must attend this training, which is conducted by Company for the purpose of instructing Affiliate on Company’s products, systems, procedures, and guidelines. The training session will be scheduled virtually with a designated video conferencing platform upon receipt of the deposit.
   
B.Upon completion of the Phase One Virtual training session, Company will provide Affiliate with access to the password protected affiliate intranet site that includes franchise listings, training material, operations, and supporting technical and optional marketing program. Company will also provide optional advertising and promotional material.
   
C.Company will supply Affiliate with its current list of approved Sellers. Affiliate will be included by reference in the representation agreement in place between Company and Seller.
D.After the initial training, Company will supply Affiliate with ongoing support as Company reasonably determines to be appropriate.

 

1.13 Affiliate agrees to the following:

 

A.Affiliate will use its best efforts to identify leads and make successful referrals to Sellers. Affiliate will not violate any standards of conduct outlined in The Business Alliance Business Portfolio, code of conduct, and operations, as either may be subsequently amended.
   
B.When working with prospective franchisees, Affiliate will comply with all Laws, including the FTC Franchise Rule and state franchise laws, and any additional requirements required by an applicable Seller.
   
C.Affiliate will not at any time or in any manner disclose to any person, firm, or corporation any confidential or trade secret information concerning any matter affecting or relating to the business of Company (“Confidential Information”). Such Confidential Information includes, but is not limited to, competitive expertise, methods, procedures, techniques, documentation, training and operations manuals, directives, systems, information, specifications, trade secrets, customer data, materials connected with the operation and promotion of Company’s business, and any other technical and marketing programs furnished by Company to Affiliate, in whatever media. Affiliate hereby agrees to keep as confidential and not use, copy or distribute except as authorized in this Agreement all Confidential Information provided by Company or its affiliates, both during the term of this Agreement and thereafter for such time as such matters remain confidential to either party or not in the public domain. Affiliate acknowledges that any breach of the terms of this Section 1.12.C will be a material breach of this Agreement. This confidentiality obligation applies to business associates or family members of Affiliate who are working with or for Affiliate in the business as an affiliate of Company and have access to Company confidential information, and Affiliate shall impose similar confidentiality obligations on such persons in a form approved by Company.
   
D.Affiliate agrees that in addition to all other rights and remedies available to Company, Company will have the right to obtain temporary and permanent injunctive relief without the necessity of posting a bond.

E.Affiliate must make at least one referral that results in a closed sale of a franchise with a Seller in every one hundred eighty (180) day period, with the exception of the first twelve months after completion of training. If Affiliate fails to meet this minimum referral requirement, Company may in its discretion terminate this Agreement or place Affiliate on inactive status. Inactive status removes Affiliate from Company mailing lists, notifications, and Company intranet and extranet access, but does not result in the termination of this Agreement. Company may terminate this Agreement at any time Affiliate is in inactive status.
   
  If Affiliate is moved to inactive status, Affiliate has the option to pay Company a monthly fee for access to Company’s Back Office/Intranet Site (“Access Fee”). If Affiliate thereafter makes a referral to a Seller that results in a franchise sale and a Commission, any Access Fees paid within six (6) months prior to that franchise sale, shall be debited against the 10% share of Affiliate’s Commission that is paid to or retained by Company under Section 1.05.
   
F.Company may terminate this Agreement upon written notice to Affiliate if Affiliate breaches this Agreement; provided that Affiliate must have been given written notice of such breach by Company and, if such breach is capable of being cured, a reasonable period in which to cure such breach, which need not be longer than thirty (30) days. On termination of this Agreement, Affiliate shall cease to be an authorized affiliate of Company and: (i) all amounts owing by Affiliate to Company shall become immediately due and payable; and (ii) Affiliate will return all embodiments of Company’s Confidential Information and discontinue directly or indirectly using such Confidential Information.

 

1.14 Affiliate is an independent contractor. Neither party to this agreement has the power or authority to assume or create obligations, expressed or implied, in the name of the other party, nor to bind the other for any purpose except as specifically provided for in this Agreement. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed by the parties hereto, or any third person, as creating the relationship of principal and agent, employer and employee, partnership, or joint venture between the parties hereto. Affiliate acknowledges that Company shall not be deemed to be a fiduciary of Affiliate.
   
1.15 Affiliate agrees that neither Company nor anyone acting on its behalf or purporting to represent it have made any representations or agreements to induce it to enter into this Agreement. No representations have been made concerning prospects for successful operations, the level of business or profits that Affiliate might reasonably expect, or similar matters, all of which Affiliate acknowledges are dependent upon variables beyond Company’s control, including, without limitation, the ability, motivation, and amount and quality of effort expended by Affiliate. Affiliate hereby releases Company, its affiliates, officers, directors, employees or agents from any claims, suits or demands related to any such representations or risk of operations of the business.

1.20 This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Washington without regard for conflicts of laws principles.
