Item 1. Fundamental Changes

 

Effective July 24, 2023, Xcelerate Inc. (“we,” “us,” “our” or “the Company”) completed an acquisition of a majority interest in both ESN Group, Inc. (“ESN”) and California Skin Research, Inc., (“CSRI”), (collectively the “ESN Group”) and their portfolio of health care and skin care products, including Ceramedx® (www.ceramedx.com), the first natural ”plant based” ingredient therapeutic product and Earth Science Beauty (www.earthsciencebeauty.com). We acquired an aggregate of 51% interest in both of the aforesaid companies by subscribing for shares in ESN and purchasing shares from two of the former principals of the ESN Group in private sales. The former principal shareholders of the ESN Group have each retained a minority interest in both entities.

 

To acquire these interests we purchased shares directly from ESN, repaid outstanding debt and purchased shares from current shareholders. The aggregate cost of these acquisitions was approximately $463,000. We utilized our available cash, as well as loans from our management and principal shareholders, to fund these acquisitions.

 

As part of these transactions, we also retained the services of John Jay Kline, the former President of the ESN Group of companies, who will continue to operate both companies on our behalf. Mr. Kline also will own a minority position in both companies. As part of the consideration for his employment, we agreed to issue to him 2 million shares of our common stock.

 

On a consolidated basis, the ESN Group generated gross revenues of approximately $2.7 million during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, with a net loss of approximately $130,000.

 

The ESN Group of companies offer Earth Science® nature-inspired beauty and personal care products and Ceramedx® therapeutic skincare solutions. The offered products are paraben-free, cruelty-free products with ingredients that include plant-based nutrients and antioxidants, soothing botanicals, hydrating moisturizers and pure essential oils. The ESN Group are committed to naturalness, concern for the health of customers and dedication to social and environmental responsibility.
