NxGen Brands, Inc.

240,000,000 Shares of Common Stock

 

By this Offering Circular, NxGen Brands, Inc., a Nevada corporation, is offering for sale a maximum of 240,000,000 shares of its common stock (the “Offered Shares”), at a fixed price of $0.005 per share (the price to be fixed by a post-qualification supplement), pursuant to Tier 1 of Regulation A of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). A minimum purchase of $5,000 of the Offered Shares is required in this offering; any additional purchase must be in an amount of at least $1,000. This offering is being conducted on a best-efforts basis, which means that there is no minimum number of Offered Shares that must be sold by us for this offering to close; thus, we may receive no or minimal proceeds from this offering. All proceeds from this offering will become immediately available to us and may be used as they are accepted. Purchasers of the Offered Shares will not be entitled to a refund and could lose their entire investments.

 

Please see the “Risk Factors” section, beginning on page 4, for a discussion of the risks associated with a purchase of the Offered Shares.

 

We estimate that this offering will commence within two days of the SEC’s qualification of the Offering Statement of which this Offering Circular forms a part; this offering will terminate at the earliest of (a) the date on which the maximum offering has been sold, (b) the date which is one year from this offering being qualified by the SEC or (c) the date on which this offering is earlier terminated by us, in our sole discretion. (See “Plan of Distribution”).

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

The information contained in this Offering Circular includes some statements that are not historical and that are considered forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding our development plans for our business; our strategies and business outlook; anticipated development of our company; and various other matters (including contingent liabilities and obligations and changes in accounting policies, standards and interpretations). These forward-looking statements express our expectations, hopes, beliefs and intentions regarding the future. In addition, without limiting the foregoing, any statements that refer to projections, forecasts or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements. The words anticipates, believes, continue, could, estimates, expects, intends, may, might, plans, possible, potential, predicts, projects, seeks, should, will, would and similar expressions and variations, or comparable terminology, or the negatives of any of the foregoing, may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking.

 

The forward-looking statements contained in this Offering Circular are based on current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments that are difficult to predict. We cannot guarantee future performance, or that future developments affecting our company will be as currently anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond our control) or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.

 

All forward-looking statements attributable to us are expressly qualified in their entirety by these risks and uncertainties. These risks and uncertainties, along with others, are also described below in the Risk Factors section. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements. You should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements and should not make an investment decision based solely on these forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws.

RISK FACTORS

 

An investment in the Offered Shares involves substantial risks. You should carefully consider the following risk factors, in addition to the other information contained in this Offering Circular, before purchasing any of the Offered Shares. The occurrence of any of the following risks might cause you to lose a significant part of your investment. The risks and uncertainties discussed below are not the only ones we face, but do represent those risks and uncertainties that we believe are most significant to our business, operating results, prospects and financial condition. Some statements in this Offering Circular, including statements in the following risk factors, constitute forward-looking statements. (See “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements”).

 

Risks Related to Our Company

 

We have incurred losses in prior periods, and losses in the future could cause the quoted price of our common stock to decline or have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, our ability to pay our debts as they become due, and on our cash flows. We have incurred losses in prior periods. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, we incurred a net loss of $211,085 (unaudited) and, as of that date, we had an accumulated deficit of $3,097,374 (unaudited). For the year ended December 31, 2022, we incurred a net loss of $48,533 (unaudited) and, as of that date, we had an accumulated deficit of $2,304,412 (unaudited). Any losses in the future could cause the quoted price of our common stock to decline or have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, our ability to pay our debts as they become due, and on our cash flows.

 

We do not have a successful operating history. Historically, we have reported operating losses, which makes an investment in the Offered Shares highly speculative in nature. Because of this lack of operating success, it is difficult to forecast our future operating results. Additionally, our operations will be subject to risks inherent in the implementation of new business strategies, including, among other factors, efficiently deploying our capital, developing and implementing our marketing campaigns and strategies and developing greater awareness. Our performance and business prospects will suffer if we are unable to overcome the following challenges, among others:

 

·our dependence upon external sources for the financing of our operations, particularly given that there are concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern;
·our ability to execute our business strategies;
·our ability to manage our expansion, growth and operating expenses;
·our ability to finance our business;
·our ability to compete and succeed in a competitive industry; and
·future geopolitical events and economic crisis.

 

We may be unable to obtain sufficient capital to implement our full plan of business. Currently, we do not have sufficient financial resources with which to fully exploit our strategies surrounding our “Storm Lifestyle” products. There is no assurance that we will be able to obtain sources of financing, including in this offering, in order to satisfy our working capital needs.

 

There are risks and uncertainties encountered by under-capitalized companies. As an under-capitalized company, we are unable to offer assurance that we will be able to overcome our lack of capital, among other challenges.

 

 

 

 4 

 

 

Our financial statements are not independently audited, which could result in errors and/or omissions in our financial statements if proper standards are not applied. We are not required to have our financial statements audited by a firm that is certified by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”). As such, we do not have a third party reviewing the accounting. We may also not be up to date with all publications and releases released by the PCAOB regarding accounting standards and treatments. This circumstance could mean that our unaudited financials may not properly reflect up to date standards and treatments, resulting in misstated financial statements.

 

If we are unable to manage future expansion effectively, our business may be adversely impacted. In the future, we may experience rapid growth in our operations, which could place a significant strain on our company’s infrastructure, in general, and our internal controls and other managerial, operating and financial resources, in particular. If we are unable to manage future expansion effectively, our business would be harmed. There is, of course, no assurance that we will enjoy rapid development in our business.

 

We currently depend on the efforts of our Chief Executive Officer; the loss of this executive could disrupt our operations and adversely affect the further development of our business. Our success in establishing implementing our business strategies will depend, primarily, on the continued service of our Chief Executive Officer, Joseph Lawanson. The loss of service of Mr. Lawanson, for any reason, could seriously impair our ability to execute our business plan, which could have a materially adverse effect on our business and future results of operations. We have not entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Lawanson. We have not purchased any key-man life insurance.

 

If we are unable to recruit and retain key personnel, our business may be harmed. If we are unable to attract and retain key personnel, our business may be harmed. Our failure to enable the effective transfer of knowledge and facilitate smooth transitions with regard to our key employees could adversely affect our long-term strategic planning and execution.

 

Our business plan depends on marketing of our products, which may not be accepted in the marketplace. Our industry is extremely competitive and we have yet to attain any market share. In order to achieve successful operations, we will depend on effective marketing to, first, gain entry into the industry and, then, to achieve market share. We do not employ a marketing agency. Employing a greater number of marketing personnel or a marketing agency would require greater financial resources than we currently possess. Furthermore, our ability to attract independent sales representatives may be limited without greater name recognition, an advertising campaign and market penetration. Unless we are able to address these limitations in our marketing capabilities, you may expect our revenues to be limited and we may have difficulty staying in business. Under such circumstances, our stock cannot be expected to gain in value.

 

We are an early-stage company with an unproven business model and our business may not become profitable. We are an early-stage company with a limited operating history upon which you can evaluate our business. We have very limited historical financial data. As a result of these factors, the revenue and income potential of our business is unproven, and we have only a limited operating history upon which to base an evaluation of our current business and future prospects. Because of our limited operating history, we have limited insight into trends that may emerge and affect our business. We may make errors in predicting and reacting to relevant business trends, which could harm our business. Early-stage companies in new and rapidly evolving markets such as ours frequently encounter risks, uncertainties, and difficulties, including those described in this section. We may not be able to successfully address any or all of these risks. Failure to adequately address such risks could cause our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects to suffer.

 

Our financial condition could be adversely affected if our available liquidity is insufficient. If our business is significantly adversely affected by further deterioration in the economic environment or otherwise, it could lead us to seek new or additional sources of liquidity to fund our needs. Currently, for a non-investment-grade company such as ours, the capital markets are challenging, with limited available financing and at higher costs than in recent years. There can be no guarantees that we would be able to access any new sources of liquidity on commercially reasonable terms or at all.

 

 

 

 5 

 

 

We may lose or fail to attract and retain key employees and management personnel. As we expand our operations, our employees will be extremely important assets. An important aspect of our competitiveness will be our ability to attract and retain key employees and management personnel. Our ability to do so is influenced by a variety of factors, including the compensation we award, and could be adversely affected by our financial or market performance.

 

We currently have limited management and staff, which could limit our ability to effectively seize market opportunities and grow our business. Our operations are subject to all of the risks inherent in a growing business enterprise, including the likelihood of operating losses. As a smaller company with a limited operating history, our success will depend, among other factors, upon how we manage the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays frequently encountered in connection with the growth of a new business, products and channels of distribution, and current and future development. In addition, as a company with a limited operating history and limited management and staff to grow our business and manage the risks inherent in a growing business enterprise, these factors could limit our ability to effectively seize market opportunities and grow.

 

Our ability to grow our business may depend on developing a positive brand reputation. Establishing and maintaining a positive brand reputation is critical to attracting new customers. If we are unable to establish, maintain and enhance our brand reputation and customer satisfaction, our ability to attract new customers will be harmed.

 

Investors may lose their entire investment if we fail to reach profitability. We have no demonstrable operations record from which you can evaluate the business and its prospects. Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, uncertainties, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in their early stages of development. We cannot guarantee that we will be successful in accomplishing our objectives. To date, we have incurred losses and will continue to do so in the foreseeable future. Investors should therefore be aware that they may lose their entire investment in the securities.

 

Litigation or legal proceedings could expose us to significant liabilities and damage our reputation. We may become party to litigation claims and legal proceedings. Litigation involves significant risks, uncertainties and costs, including distracting of management’s attention away from our current business operations. We evaluate litigation claims and legal proceedings to assess the likelihood of unfavorable outcomes and to estimate, if possible, the amount of potential losses. Based on these assessments and estimates, we establish reserves and/or disclose the relevant litigation claims or legal proceedings, as appropriate. These assessments and estimates are based on the information available to management at the time and involve a significant amount of management judgment. We caution you that actual outcomes or losses may differ materially from those envisioned by our current assessments and estimates. Our policies and procedures require strict compliance by our employees and agents with all United States and local laws and regulations applicable to our business operations, including those prohibiting improper payments to government officials. Nonetheless, there can be no assurance that our policies and procedures will always ensure full compliance by our employees and agents with all applicable legal requirements. Improper conduct by our employees or agents could damage our reputation in the United States and internationally or lead to litigation or legal proceedings that could result in civil or criminal penalties, including substantial monetary fines, as well as disgorgement of profits.

 

If we do not effectively manage changes in our business, these changes could place a significant strain on our management and operations. To manage our growth successfully, we must continue to improve and expand our systems and infrastructure in a timely and efficient manner. Our controls, systems, procedures and resources may not be adequate to support a changing and growing company. If our management fails to respond effectively to changes and growth in our business, including acquisitions, this could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and future prospects.

 

Our operating expenses could increase without a corresponding increase in revenues. Our operating and other expenses could increase without a corresponding increase in revenues, which could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial results and on an investment in the Offered Shares. Factors which could increase operating and other expenses include, but are not limited to (1) increases in the rate of inflation, (2) increases in taxes and other statutory charges, (3) changes in laws, regulations or government policies which increase the costs of compliance with such laws, regulations or policies, (4) significant increases in insurance premiums, and (5) increases in borrowing costs.

 

 

 

 6 

 

 

Our lack of adequate directors and officers liability insurance may also make it difficult for us to retain and attract talented and skilled directors and officers. In the future, we may be subject to litigation, including potential class action and shareholder derivative actions. Risks associated with legal liability are difficult to assess and quantify, and their existence and magnitude can remain unknown for significant periods of time. To date, we have not obtained directors and officers liability (“D&O”) insurance. Without adequate D&O insurance, the amounts we would pay to indemnify our officers and directors, should they be subject to legal action based on their service to our company, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and liquidity. Further, our lack of adequate D&O insurance may make it difficult for us to retain and attract talented and skilled directors and officers, which could adversely affect our business.

 

Our Board of Directors may change our policies without shareholder approval. Our policies, including any policies with respect to investments, leverage, financing, growth, debt and capitalization, will be determined by our Board of Directors or officers to whom our Board of Directors delegates such authority. Our Board of Directors will also establish the amount of any dividends or other distributions that we may pay to our shareholders. Our Board of Directors or officers to which such decisions are delegated will have the ability to amend or revise these and our other policies at any time without shareholder vote. Accordingly, our shareholders will not be entitled to approve changes in our policies, which policy changes may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

 

Disruptions to our manufacturing or supplier operations could adversely affect our business, results of operations or financial condition. Our ability to meet the needs of our consumers and customers depends on the proper functioning of our manufacturing and supplier operations. Our manufacturing operations require the timely delivery of sufficient amounts of complex, high-quality components and materials. Interruptions or delays in our internal operations, or those of our third-party manufacturers, suppliers and logistics providers, could adversely affect our business, results of operations or financial condition. These disruptions could be caused by a number of factors, including regulatory action, quality control or safety issues, labor disputes or the lack of availability of qualified personnel, concentration or insolvency of manufactures or suppliers, site-specific incidents (such as fires, explosions, flooding, power outages or site closures), natural disasters (such as hurricanes, earthquakes or other severe natural events), raw material shortages, increases in the cost of components and materials for our products, political unrest, terrorist attacks, cybersecurity incidents, epidemics, pandemics (such as the COVID-19 pandemic), global shipping, logistics, transport and warehousing constraints, governmental incentives and controls (including import and export restrictions, such as new or increased tariffs, sanctions, quotas or trade barriers), other unfavorable economic or market conditions, trade embargoes, customs and tax requirements and similar factors.

 

The unavailability of qualified manufacturers or suppliers could further disrupt our operations. Our current manufacturing or supplier operations may not be able to continue to manufacture or supply current quantities at preferential prices or accommodate our anticipated growth. New manufacturers and suppliers may need to be qualified under industry and governmental standards as well as our own ethical and business partner standards, which can require a significant amount of resources. If we are unable to enter into relationships with new manufacturers or suppliers or replace the loss or unavailability of any of our existing manufacturers or suppliers on a timely basis, or at all, our business, results of operations or financial condition could be adversely affected.

 

Disruptions to our distribution operations could adversely affect our ability to deliver our products to consumers and customers. Our ability to receive inventory and deliver products to distributors, customers and consumers on a timely basis depends on the proper functioning of our manufacturing, supplier and distribution operations, and interruptions or delays in these operations could adversely affect our business, results of operations or financial condition. Distribution disruptions can occur for many reasons, including manufacturing or supplier disruptions, labor disputes or the lack of availability of qualified personnel, concentration or insolvency of distributors or logistics providers, site-specific incidents, natural disasters, political unrest, terrorist attacks, cybersecurity incidents, epidemics, pandemics (such as the COVID-19 pandemic), other unfavorable economic or market conditions, trade embargoes, customs and tax requirements and similar factors. Increases in transportation costs (including fuel costs) or shipping costs, issues with overseas shipments, reductions in the transportation capacity of carriers, labor strikes or shortages in the transportation industry, disruptions to transportation infrastructure and unexpected delivery interruptions or delays could also increase the costs of, or otherwise adversely affect, our distribution operations.

 

 

 

 7 

 

 

Interruptions or delays in our distribution operations could disrupt our ability to process or fulfill customer or consumer orders. Any delay in processing, or inability to fulfill, customer or consumer orders through our distribution network could adversely affect our business, results of operations or financial condition. We are also subject to risks of damage to, or loss of, our products while they are stored in our warehousing facilities or being delivered by our shipping vendors. Distributors, customers and consumers rely on timely receipt of our products and any repeated, intermittent or long-term disruption to, or failure of, the operations of our warehousing and distribution facilities could lead to lower sales and profitability, excess inventory, reputational damage or loss of loyalty to our brands. In addition, as we continue to grow our business, we may need to continue to update or expand our warehousing and distribution facilities, which may require significant amounts of capital, or engage additional third-party distributors and shipping vendors, which may increase the risks to our business associated with reliance on third parties.

 

Volatility in the cost or availability of raw materials and other inputs for our products, including as a result of recent inflationary pressures, has adversely affected, and could in the future continue to adversely affect, our business, results of operations or financial condition. The manufacture and distribution of our products involves a variety of raw materials, including essential oils, resins, pulp, tropical oils, lubricants, tallow, corn, poultry, soybeans and silicon; packaging components, including corrugate; and other inputs, including energy, labor, transportation (such as trucks, containers and ocean freight) and logistics services. Any increase in the cost, or constraint on the availability, of these raw materials, packaging components or other inputs for our products could adversely affect our business, results of operations or financial condition. Volatility in the cost or availability of these raw materials, packaging components and other inputs for our products can occur for many reasons, including changes in consumer and customer preferences and purchasing patterns, regulatory action, safety issues, labor issues, concentration or insolvency of suppliers, site-specific incidents, natural disasters, political unrest, terrorist attacks, cybersecurity incidents, epidemics, pandemics (such as the COVID-19 pandemic), other unfavorable economic or market conditions, trade embargoes, customs and tax requirements, currency fluctuations and similar factors.

 

Since 2021, inflationary pressures have increased, and may continue to increase, the costs of these raw materials, packaging components and other inputs for our products. We have experienced, and we continue to experience, higher than expected inflation, including escalating transportation, commodity and other supply chain costs and disruptions that have adversely affected, and continue to adversely affect, our results of operations. We anticipate that supply chain disruptions will persist in the near term. We strive to maintain our usual profit margins in economies experiencing high inflation rates, which has in the past caused us (including in response to recent periods of high inflation in the Shared States), and may in the future cause us, to increase our prices and to implement supply chain optimization initiatives to partially offset the adverse effects of the high inflation. We have partially offset the impact of inflation largely through price increases, in addition to continued supply chain optimization initiatives. However, if our costs continue to be subject to significant inflationary pressures, we may not be able to offset the higher costs through price increases, achieve cost efficiencies, such as in manufacturing and distribution, or otherwise manage the exposure through sourcing strategies, ongoing productivity initiatives and the use of commodity hedging contracts, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations or financial condition.

 

In addition, even if we are initially able to increase the prices of our products as a responsive measure to inflationary pressures, we may not be able to sustain these price increases, or sustained price increases may eventually lead to a decline in sales volume if our competitors do not increase their prices or if consumers or customers decide to no longer pay the higher prices for our products. As a result, inflationary pressures could damage our reputation or our brands or lead to loss of profitability or market share, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations or financial condition.

 

Further, in certain cases, our relationship with a particular supplier may not be governed by a contract and the supplier could discontinue our supply at any time. This risk may be magnified in economies experiencing high inflation rates, as suppliers could respond to inflationary pressures by reallocating supply to competitors that are willing to pay more for the applicable materials or components. If we are unable to procure key raw materials or packaging components for our products at a reasonable cost, or at all, our business, results of operations or financial condition could be adversely affected.

If we are unable to accurately forecast demand for our products, our business, results of operations or financial condition could be adversely affected. To ensure adequate inventory supply, we forecast inventory needs and place orders with our third-party manufacturers before firm orders are placed by our consumers or customers. Factors that could affect our ability to accurately forecast demand for our products include an unanticipated increase or decrease in demand for our products; our failure to accurately forecast acceptance for new products; product introductions by competitors; unanticipated changes in general market conditions (which may result in cancellations of advance orders or a reduction or increase in the rate of reorders or at-once orders placed by our customers); the impact on demand due to natural disasters or unseasonable weather conditions, weakening of economic conditions or consumer or customer confidence in future economic conditions (which could reduce demand for our products); and terrorism or acts of war, or the threat thereof, or political or labor instability or unrest (which could adversely affect consumer or customer confidence and spending or the cost or availability of raw materials and other inputs for our products).

 

If we fail to accurately forecast consumer and customer demand for our products, we may experience excess inventory levels or a shortage of product to deliver to our consumers, customers and distributors. Inventory levels in excess of consumer or customer demand may result in inventory write-downs or write-offs and the sale of excess inventory at discounted prices or in less preferred distribution channels, which could damage our reputation and otherwise adversely affect our business, results of operations or financial condition. In addition, if we underestimate the demand for our products, our third-party manufacturers may not be able to manufacture products in quantities that are sufficient to meet our consumer or customer requirements, which could result in delays in the shipment of our products, lost sales and damage to our reputation and customer and distributor relationships. The difficulty in forecasting demand may also make it difficult to estimate our future results of operations or financial condition from period to period.

 

Cybersecurity risks related to the technology used in our operations and other business processes, as well as security breaches of company, customer, employee and vendor information, could adversely affect our business. We will rely on various information technology systems to capture, process, store and report data and interact with customers, vendors and employees. Despite careful security and controls design, as the prevalence of cyber-attacks continues to increase, our information technology systems, and those of our third-party providers, could become subject to increased security threats, such as phishing and malware incidents. Our security measures may be unable to prevent certain security breaches, and any such network, system, data or other breaches could result in misappropriation of sensitive data, transactional errors, theft of funds, business disruptions, loss of or damage to intellectual property, loss of customers and business opportunities, unauthorized access to or disclosure of confidential or personal information (which could cause a breach of applicable data protection legislation), regulatory fines, penalties or intervention, reputational damage, reimbursement or other compensatory costs and additional compliance costs, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our reputation, business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

 

Because the techniques used to obtain unauthorized access to, or disable, degrade or sabotage, information technologies systems change frequently, and may not be recognized until after they have been launched against a target, we may be unable to anticipate these techniques, implement adequate preventative measures or remediate any breach in a timely or effective manner. In addition, the development and maintenance of preventative or detective measures is costly, and requires ongoing monitoring and updating as technologies change and efforts to circumvent security measures become more sophisticated. As well as incurring additional costs, sophisticated hardware and operating system software and applications that we procure from third parties may contain defects in design or manufacture, including “bugs” and other problems that could unexpectedly interfere with the operation of the systems, or we may be unable to successfully integrate and launch new systems as planned without disruptions to our operations. Misuse of internal applications, theft of intellectual property, trade secrets, funds or other corporate assets and inappropriate disclosure of confidential information could stem from such incidents.

 

Despite our efforts, we remain potentially vulnerable to cyber-attacks and security breaches, and any such attack or breach could adversely affect our reputation, business, financial condition or results of operations.

If our trademarks and other proprietary rights are not adequately protected to prevent use or appropriation by competitors, the value of our brand or intellectual property may be diminished, and our business adversely affected. We rely, and expect to continue to rely, on confidentiality agreements with employees, consultants and third parties with whom we have relationships, as well as trademark, copyright, patent and trade secret protection laws, to protect our proprietary rights. If the protection of our intellectual property rights is inadequate to prevent use or misappropriation by third parties, the value of our company may be diminished, competitors may be able to more effectively mimic our technologies and methods of operations, the perception of our business and service to customers and potential customers may become confused in the marketplace, and our ability to attract customers may be adversely affected.

 

Risks Related to Our Industry

 

If our products do not provide the healthful effects intended, our business may suffer. In general, our products are classified “dietary supplements” and do not currently require approval from the FDA or other regulatory agencies prior to sale. Our products could have certain side effects if not taken as directed or if taken by a consumer that has certain medical conditions. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that any of the products, even when used as directed, will have the effects intended or will not have harmful side effects.

 

If we do not adequately manage our inventory levels, our operating results could be adversely affected. We are required to maintain adequate inventory levels, to be able to deliver products to distributors on a timely basis. Our inventory supply depends on our ability to estimate correctly demand for our products. Our ability to estimate demand for our products is imprecise, particularly for new products, seasonal promotions and new markets. If we materially underestimate demand for our products or are unable to maintain sufficient inventory of raw materials, we might not be able to satisfy demand on a short-term basis. If we overestimate distributor or retailer demand for our products, we may end up with too much inventory, resulting in higher storage costs, increased trade spend and the risk of inventory spoilage. If we fail to manage our inventory to meet demand, we could damage our relationships with our distributors and retailers and could delay or lose sales opportunities, which would unfavorably impact our future sales and adversely affect our operating results. In addition, if the inventory of our products held by our distributors and retailers is too high, they will not place orders for additional products, which would also unfavorably impact our sales and adversely affect our operating results.

 

If we encounter product recalls or other product quality issues, our business may suffer. Product quality issues, real or imagined, or allegations of product contamination, even when false or unfounded, could tarnish our image and could cause consumers to choose other products. In addition, because of changing government regulations or implementation thereof, or allegations of product contamination, we may be required from time to time to recall products entirely or from specific markets. Product recalls could affect our profitability and could negatively affect our brand image.

 

Our implemented marketing strategies for our Storm line of health products may not be successful. We will be required to obtain a significantly greater number of customers for our Storm health products, in order to increase sales. Should our newly implemented marketing strategies fail to increase sales of our health products, our operations will be adversely affected.

 

If our products do not achieve the expected results, we may face litigation from customers and government regulators. We cannot guarantee that all customers will benefit from the use of our products. However, if a large number of clients do not achieve quantifiable results from the use of our products, we may be subject to lawsuits or regulatory sanctions regarding the benefits of our products.

 

There is no third-party oversight over the manufacturer of our products. Our products are manufactured in an FDA-approved facility. While these facilities are inspected by the FDA, FDA inspections may not be conducted on a regular basis. As such, there can be no assurance that the FDA will identify any contaminants in our manufacturer. Further we do not have an independent third party to regularly inspect the facility nor does management regularly visit the facility to conduct a quality control review. As such, there is a risk that the quality of our products may decline, contaminants may exist in the manufacturing process. Should this happen, we may face litigation or an FDA investigation.

If, in the future, we are unable to expand sales and marketing capabilities or enter into agreements with third parties to sell and market any of our products, we may not be successful. We have a limited sales and marketing infrastructure. To achieve wider commercial success for our products, we must either develop a sales and marketing organization or outsource these functions to third parties.

 

There are risks involved with both establishing our own sales and marketing capabilities and entering into arrangements with third parties to perform these services. For example, recruiting and training a sales force is expensive and time consuming and could delay any product launch. If the commercial launch of a product candidate for which we recruit a sales force and establish marketing capabilities is delayed or does not occur for any reason, we would have prematurely or unnecessarily incurred these commercialization expenses. This may be costly, and our investment would be lost if we cannot retain or reposition our sales and marketing personnel.

 

Factors that may inhibit our efforts to commercialize our products on our own include:

 

·our inability to recruit and retain adequate numbers of effective sales and marketing personnel;
·the lack of complementary products to be offered by sales personnel, which may put us at a competitive disadvantage relative to companies with more extensive product lines; and
·unforeseen costs and expenses associated with creating an independent sales and marketing organization.

 

We face substantial competition, which may result in others discovering, developing or commercializing products before or more successfully than we do. The development and commercialization of new health products is highly competitive. We face competition with respect to our current products, and will face competition with respect to any products that we may seek to develop or commercialize in the future from major health supplement companies. Some of these competitive products are based on scientific approaches that are the same as or similar to our approach, and others are based on entirely different approaches.

 

Many of our competitors have significantly greater financial resources than we do. There is no assurance that we will be able to compete successful in our industry.

 

We compete in an industry that is brand-conscious, making brand name recognition and acceptance of our products critical to our success. Our business is dependent upon awareness and market acceptance of our products and brands by our target market. In addition, our business will depend on acceptance by independent distributors and retailers of our brands as beverage brands that have the potential to provide incremental sales growth. If we are not successful in the growth of our brand and product offerings, we may not achieve and maintain satisfactory levels of acceptance by independent distributors and retail consumers. Any failure of our brand to establish, maintain or increase acceptance or market penetration would likely have a material adverse effect on our revenues and financial results.

 

Risks Related to Securities Compliance and Regulation

 

We will not have reporting obligations under Sections 14 or 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, nor will any shareholders have reporting requirements of Regulation 13D or 13G, nor Regulation 14D. So long as our common shares are not registered under the Exchange Act, our directors and executive officers and beneficial holders of 10% or more of our outstanding common shares will not be subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act. Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires executive officers and directors and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of a registered class of equity securities to file with the SEC initial statements of beneficial ownership, reports of changes in ownership and annual reports concerning their ownership of common shares and other equity securities, on Forms 3, 4 and 5, respectively. Such information about our directors, executive officers and beneficial holders will only be available through periodic reports we file with OTC Markets.

 

Our common stock is not registered under the Exchange Act and we do not intend to register our common stock under the Exchange Act for the foreseeable future; provided, however, that we will register our common stock under the Exchange Act if we have, after the last day of any fiscal year, more than either (1) 2,000 persons; or (2) 500 shareholders of record who are not accredited investors, in accordance with Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act.

 

 

 

 11 

 

 

Further, as long as our common stock is not registered under the Exchange Act, we will not be subject to Section 14 of the Exchange Act, which, among other things, prohibits companies that have securities registered under the Exchange Act from soliciting proxies or consents from shareholders without furnishing to shareholders and filing with the SEC a proxy statement and form of proxy complying with the proxy rules.

 

The reporting required by Section 14(d) of the Exchange Act provides information to the public about persons other than the company who is making the tender offer. A tender offer is a broad solicitation by a company or a third party to purchase a substantial percentage of a company’s common stock for a limited period of time. This offer is for a fixed price, usually at a premium over the current market price, and is customarily contingent on shareholders tendering a fixed number of their shares.

 

In addition, as long as our common stock is not registered under the Exchange Act, our company will not be subject to the reporting requirements of Regulation 13D and Regulation 13G, which require the disclosure of any person who, after acquiring directly or indirectly the beneficial ownership of any equity securities of a class, becomes, directly or indirectly, the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the class.

 

There may be deficiencies with our internal controls that require improvements. Our company is not required to provide a report on the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting. We are in the process of evaluating whether our internal control procedures are effective and, therefore, there is a greater likelihood of undiscovered errors in our internal controls or reported financial statements as compared to issuers that have conducted such independent evaluations.

 

Risks Related to Our Organization and Structure

 

As a non-listed company conducting an exempt offering pursuant to Regulation A, we are not subject to a number of corporate governance requirements, including the requirements for independent board members. As a non-listed company conducting an exempt offering pursuant to Regulation A, we are not subject to a number of corporate governance requirements that an issuer conducting an offering on Form S-1 or listing on a national stock exchange would be. Accordingly, we are not required to have (a) a board of directors of which a majority consists of independent directors under the listing standards of a national stock exchange, (b) an audit committee composed entirely of independent directors and a written audit committee charter meeting a national stock exchange’s requirements, (c) a nominating/corporate governance committee composed entirely of independent directors and a written nominating/ corporate governance committee charter meeting a national stock exchange’s requirements, (d) a compensation committee composed entirely of independent directors and a written compensation committee charter meeting the requirements of a national stock exchange, and (e) independent audits of our internal controls. Accordingly, you may not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to all of the corporate governance requirements of a national stock exchange.

 

Our holding company structure makes us dependent on our subsidiaries for our cash flow and could serve to subordinate the rights of our shareholders to the rights of creditors of our subsidiaries, in the event of an insolvency or liquidation of any such subsidiary. Our company acts as a holding company and, accordingly, substantially all of our operations are conducted through our subsidiaries. Such subsidiaries will be separate and distinct legal entities. As a result, substantially all of our cash flow will depend upon the earnings of our subsidiaries. In addition, we will depend on the distribution of earnings, loans or other payments by our subsidiaries. No subsidiary will have any obligation to provide our company with funds for our payment obligations. If there is an insolvency, liquidation or other reorganization of any of our subsidiaries, our shareholders will have no right to proceed against their assets. Creditors of those subsidiaries will be entitled to payment in full from the sale or other disposal of the assets of those subsidiaries before our company, as a shareholder, would be entitled to receive any distribution from that sale or disposal.

Risks Related to a Purchase of the Offered Shares

 

The outstanding shares of our Series A Preferred Stock precludes current and future owners of our common stock from influencing any corporate decision. The outstanding shares of our Series A Preferred Stock possesses superior voting rights, which preclude current and future owners of our common stock, including the Offered Shares, from influencing any corporate decision. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock has the right to 500 votes in all matters submitted to a shareholder vote. One of our officers and directors, Joseph Lawanson, owns all of the shares of our Series A Preferred Stock and will, therefore, be able to control the management and affairs of our company, as well as matters requiring the approval by our shareholders, including the election of directors, any merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of our assets, and any other significant corporate transaction. (See “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management”).

 

There is no minimum offering and no person has committed to purchase any of the Offered Shares. We have not established a minimum offering hereunder, which means that we will be able to accept even a nominal amount of proceeds, even if such amount of proceeds is not sufficient to permit us to achieve any of our business objectives. In this regard, there is no assurance that we will sell any of the Offered Shares or that we will sell enough of the Offered Shares necessary to achieve any of our business objectives. Additionally, no person is committed to purchase any of the Offered Shares.

 

We may seek additional capital that may result in shareholder dilution or that may have rights senior to those of our common stock. From time to time, we may seek to obtain additional capital, either through equity, equity-linked or debt securities. The decision to obtain additional capital will depend on, among other factors, our business plans, operating performance and condition of the capital markets. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity, equity-linked or debt securities, those securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to the rights of our common stock, which could negatively affect the market price of our common stock or cause our shareholders to experience dilution.

 

You may never realize any economic benefit from a purchase of Offered Shares. Because the market for our common stock is volatile, there is no assurance that you will ever realize any economic benefit from your purchase of Offered Shares.

 

We do not intend to pay dividends on our common stock. We intend to retain earnings, if any, to provide funds for the implementation of our business strategy. We do not intend to declare or pay any dividends in the foreseeable future. Therefore, there can be no assurance that holders of our common stock will receive cash, stock or other dividends on their shares of our common stock, until we have funds which our Board of Directors determines can be allocated to dividends.

 

Our shares of common stock are Penny Stock, which may impair trading liquidity. Disclosure requirements pertaining to penny stocks may reduce the level of trading activity in the market for our common stock and investors may find it difficult to sell their shares. Trades of our common stock will be subject to Rule 15g-9 of the SEC, which rule imposes certain requirements on broker-dealers who sell securities subject to the rule to persons other than established customers and accredited investors. For transactions covered by the rule, broker-dealers must make a special suitability determination for purchasers of the securities and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction prior to sale. The SEC also has rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in that security is provided by the exchange or system). The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer’s confirmation.

The market price for our common stock has been, and may continue to be, highly volatile. The market for low-priced securities is generally less liquid and more volatile than securities traded on national stock markets. Wide fluctuations in market prices are not uncommon. No assurance can be given that the market for our common stock will continue. The price of our common stock may be subject to wide fluctuations in response to factors such as the following, some of which are beyond our control:

 

·quarterly variations in our operating results;
·operating results that vary from the expectations of investors;
·changes in expectations as to our future financial performance, including financial estimates by investors;
·reaction to our periodic filings, or presentations by executives at investor and industry conferences;
·changes in our capital structure;
·announcements of innovations or new services by us or our competitors;
·announcements by us or our competitors of significant contracts, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments;
·lack of success in the expansion of our business operations;
·announcements by third parties of significant claims or proceedings against our company or adverse developments in pending proceedings;
·additions or departures of key personnel;
·asset impairment;
·temporary or permanent inability to offer our products and services; and
·rumors or public speculation about any of the above factors.

 

The terms of this offering were determined arbitrarily. The terms of this offering were determined arbitrarily by us. The offering price for the Offered Shares does not necessarily bear any relationship to our company’s assets, book value, earnings or other established criteria of valuation. Accordingly, the offering price of the Offered Shares should not be considered as an indication of any intrinsic value of such securities. (See “Dilution”).

 

Our common stock is subject to price volatility unrelated to our operations. The market price of our common stock could fluctuate substantially due to a variety of factors, including market perception of our ability to achieve our planned growth, quarterly operating results of other companies in the same industry, trading volume in our common stock, changes in general conditions in the economy and the financial markets or other developments affecting our company’s competitors or our company itself. In addition, the over-the-counter stock market is subject to extreme price and volume fluctuations in general. This volatility has had a significant effect on the market price of securities issued by many companies for reasons unrelated to their operating performance and could have the same effect on our common stock.

 

You will suffer dilution in the net tangible book value of the Offered Shares you purchase in this offering. If you acquire any Offered Shares, you will suffer immediate dilution, due to the lower book value per share of our common stock compared to the purchase price of the Offered Shares in this offering. (See “Dilution”).

 

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

DILUTION

 

Ownership Dilution

 

The information under “Investment Dilution” below does not take into account the potential conversion of the outstanding shares of (a) Series A Preferred Stock into a total of 1,000,000 shares of our common stock, at any time and at the option of our company, and (b) Series B Preferred Stock into a total of 3,450,000 shares of our common stock, at any time after one year following their issuance and at the option of our company.

 

The conversion of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock into shares of our common stock would cause holders of our common stock, including the Offered Shares, to incur dilution in their ownership of our company. (See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to a Purchase of the Offered Shares,” “Description of Securities” and “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management”).

 

Investment Dilution

 

Dilution in net tangible book value per share to purchasers of our common stock in this offering represents the difference between the amount per share paid by purchasers of the Offered Shares in this offering and the net tangible book value per share immediately after completion of this offering. In this offering, dilution is attributable primarily to our negative net tangible book value per share.

 

If you purchase Offered Shares in this offering, your investment will be diluted to the extent of the difference between your purchase price per Offered Share and the net tangible book value of our common stock after this offering. Our net tangible book value as of June 30, 2023, was $(1,356,374) (unaudited), or $(0.064) (unaudited) per share. Net tangible book value per share is equal to total assets minus the sum of total liabilities and intangible assets divided by the total number of shares outstanding.

 

The tables below illustrate the dilution to purchasers of Offered Shares in this offering, on a pro forma basis, assuming 100%, 75%, 50% and 25% of the Offered Shares are sold at a per share price of $0.005.

  (1) With a portion of the proceeds of this offering, we intend to make payments on two outstanding debt obligations, as follows: (A) On May 7, 2023, we issued a $250,000 principal amount promissory note to Carlos Hurtado, our former CEO, in payment of 14,190,125 shares of our common stock owned by him. This promissory note bears interest at 0% per annum, with principal due on May 31, 2024. All of the shares purchased from Hurtado are the subject of a pledge agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the promissory note, 283,803 shares will be released from the pledge for every $5,000 in principal paid. It is our intention to cancel all of the shares as are acquired and return them to authorized and unissued status. (See “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions”); and (B) On May 12, 2023, we issued a $249,903.14 principal amount to American Metabolix, Inc., pursuant to an asset purchase agreement. This promissory note is unsecured, bears interest at 10% per annum and is due on March 31, 2024. (See “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions”).
  (2) In the future, we may seek to form joint ventures with smaller, younger brands who, with marketing capital applied, could grow quickly. The nature of any such joint venture would be determined on a case-by-case basis by our management. Currently, however, we have not entered in any understanding or agreement with any party to form a joint venture or other similar business relationship and we are unable to predict if we will ever enter into any such business arrangement.
  (3) Proceeds allocated to this item of expenditure will not be used to compensate or otherwise make payments to officers and directors of our company or any of our company’s subsidiaries.

 

We reserve the right to change the foregoing use of proceeds, should our management believe it to be in the best interest of our company. The allocations of the proceeds of this offering presented above constitute the current estimates of our management and are based on our current plans, assumptions made with respect to the industry in which we operate, general economic conditions and our future revenue and expenditure estimates.

 

Investors are cautioned that expenditures may vary substantially from the estimates presented above. Investors must rely on the judgment of our management, who will have broad discretion regarding the application of the proceeds of this offering. The amounts and timing of our actual expenditures will depend upon numerous factors, including market conditions, cash generated by our operations (if any), business developments and the rate of our growth. We may find it necessary or advisable to use portions of the proceeds of this offering for other purposes.

 

In the event we do not obtain the entire offering amount hereunder, we may attempt to obtain additional funds through private offerings of our securities or by borrowing funds. Currently, we do not have any committed sources of financing.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

In General

Recent Events

 

Acquisition. In March 2023, we acquired the “Storm Lifestyles” brand and all related assets from American Metabolix, Inc. (“AMI”), a company involved in the sale of nutritional supplements to consumers. We have determined to exploit the “Storm Lifestyles” brand, starting with the “Storm” brand nutritional supplements.

 

Change-in-Control. In July 2023, Joseph Lawanson, our Chief Executive Officer, was issued 1,000,000 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock, which possesses super voting rights, as a retention bonus, thereby acquiring control of our company.

 

Storm Brand Products

 

We have created our own proprietary formulations for each of our products. On a batch-by-batch basis, we employ third-party manufacturers to produce and package our products on our behalf.

 

Our “Storm Brand” nutritional supplements are:

 

  Storm Burn: formulated to promote weight loss.
     
  Storm Pre-Workout: formulated to support the body’s caloric needs during exercise.
     
  Storm Focus: formulated to promote mental sharpness.
     
  Storm Revive: formulated to aid the body in recovery following exercise.

 

Historical Results and Current Operating Plans

 

Prior to our March 2023 acquisition of the Storm brand from American Metabolix (AMI), AMI had engaged in the sale and distribution of the Storm Brand nutritional supplements. However, in early 2023, AMI ran out of funds with which to market, sell and distribute the Storm Brand nutritional supplements. Prior to its ceasing distribution activities, AMI had placed Storm Brand nutritional supplements in approximately 200 retail stores. Additionally, the Storm Brand nutritional supplements were available online at poorboysupplements.com, supplementhunt.com mysupplementstore.com and supplementwarehouse.com.

 

We have begun to sell the Storm Brand nutritional products, but our sales are relatively small, due to our current lack of capital available for marketing and sales efforts. However, with the Storm Brand nutritional supplements purchased from AMI in hand, we are attempting to obtain needed funds, including in this offering, to achieve more robust marketing, sales and distribution of the Storm Brand nutritional supplements.

 

Plan of Operation

 

We believe that the proceeds of this offering will satisfy our cash requirements for at least the next twelve months.

 

 

 

 22 

 

 

With the proceeds of this offering, we intend to increase our product distribution capabilities, which we believe will lead to increased revenues.

 

The focus for our Storm Lifestyles brand is to be a well-rounded health and sports supplement company. Our goal is to provide healthy and effective products that help people achieve their fitness and health goals. Our Storm Brand products are designed for the everyday health enthusiast, the once-in-a-while exerciser and the hardcore bodybuilder.

 

The acquired Storm Lifestyles brand was originally brought to the market by a team with over 60 years of health and sports supplement product experience. The Storm Brand products feature transparent labels so that users know exactly what they are putting in their bodies.

 

We believe our current strategy of outsourcing the production of products on a job-by-job basis will allow us to keep costs to their minimum, while giving us the flexibility to meet changing consumer demands. We believe this capability will permit our company to better compete in the growing market for nutritional supplements. It is the continuing growth in the nutritional supplement market that our management believes gives our company the ability to become profitable. However, there is no assurance that this will be the case.  

 

Marketing and Sales

 

Once products are sold online at www.nxgenbrands.com and through distributors to retailers. We do not yet have formal agreements with any distributors for our products. Rather, our arrangements with distributors are ad hoc and payment for our products is, in general, due on a net 30 basis.

 

With the proceeds of this offering, of which there is no assurance, we intend to retain sales representatives to promote our products to distributors and directly to retailers. Due to the uncertainty surrounding the availability of capital to our company, we are unable to predict the extent to which we will be able to employ any such sales representatives.

 

Product Manufacture

 

We intend to utilize third-party manufacturers to product our products. We have not entered into an agreement with any such manufacturer. Rather, for the foreseeable future, we intend to contract on a job-by-job basis, to assure the lowest cost of manufacture balanced by the quality of final product.

 

We do not believe the availability of raw materials will be an impediment to the production of our Storm Brand nutritional supplements.

 

Strengths and Weaknesses

 

We perceive that our company has the following competitive strengths:

 

  Very high agility and flexibility to adapt to changes in the market climate.
  Company will not appeal to only one specific lifestyle niche like many brands.
  Unique products of high quality.
  A product that may help the consumer to be healthier.
  Working within a market that is expected to grow with a high CAGR over a foreseeable future.
  High in-house know-how and knowledge about the market and competing products.

 

We perceive that our company has the following competitive weaknesses:

 

  Financially weak compared to the competition.
  Production prices are higher, due to low volume.
  Low visibility on the market.
  Company is small and will take time to saturate the market.
  Small team.

 

 

 

 23 

 

 

Competition

 

Competition in the nutritional supplements industry is fierce, with a constant flow of new entrants into the market. Many of our competitors have already established valuable industry relationships and have access to greater resources, financial and otherwise, than we do. There is no assurance that we will be able to compete effectively in our industry, nor is there any assurance that we will ever be able to earn a profit.

 

Intellectual Property

 

We intend to rely on trade secrets, trademarks, copyright registrations and non-disclosure agreements to establish and protect our proprietary rights in our technologies and products. We own the “Storm” and “Storm Lifestyle” trademarks and intend to register such trademarks in the near future.

 

Government Regulation

 

The manufacturing, processing, formulating, packaging, labeling, distributing, selling and advertising of our products are subject to regulation by one or more federal agencies. The most active regulation has been administered by the FDA which regulates our products pursuant to the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (the "FDCA") and regulations promulgated thereunder. In particular, the FDA regulates the safety, manufacturing, labeling and distribution of dietary supplements, including vitamins, minerals and herbs, food additives, food supplements, over-the-counter drugs and prescription drugs, medical devices and cosmetics. In addition, the Federal Trade Commission (hereinafter the "FTC") has overlapping jurisdiction with the FDA to regulate the labeling, promotion and advertising of dietary supplements, over the counter drugs, cosmetics and foods.

 

Compliance with applicable FDA and any state or local statute is critical. Although we believe that we are in compliance with applicable statutes, there can be no assurance that, should the FDA amend its guidelines or impose more stringent interpretations of current laws or regulations, we would be able to comply with these new guidelines. We are unable to predict the nature of such future laws, regulations, interpretations or applications, nor can we predict what effect additional governmental regulations or administrative orders, when and if promulgated, would have on our business in the future. These regulations could, however, require the reformation of our products to meet new standards, market withdrawal or discontinuation of certain products not able to be reformulated.

 

Advertising of dietary supplement products is subject to regulation by the FTC under the Federal Trade Commission Act (hereinafter the "FTCA"). Section 5 of the FTCA prohibits unfair methods of competition and unfair or deceptive trade acts or practices in or affecting commerce. Section 12 of the FTCA provides that the dissemination or the causing to be disseminated of any false advertising pertaining to drugs or foods, which would include dietary supplements, is an unfair or deceptive act or practice. Under the FTC's Substantiation Doctrine, an advertiser is required to have a "reasonable basis" for all objective product claims before the claims are made. Pursuant to this FTC requirement, we are required to have adequate substantiation of all material advertising claims made for its products. Failure to adequately substantiate claims may be considered either deceptive or unfair practices. In addition, we are subject to regulation by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), state and local authorities and foreign governmental agencies. In addition, the adoption of new regulations or changes in the interpretations of existing regulations may result in significant compliance costs or discontinuation of product sales and may negatively impact the marketing of our products, resulting in significant loss of sales revenues. Our failure to comply with these current and new regulations could lead to the imposition of significant penalties or claims, limit the production or marketing of any non-compliant products or advertising and could negatively impact our business.

 

Litigation

 

We have no current, pending or threatened legal proceedings or administrative actions either by or against us that could have a material effect on our business, financial condition, or operations and any current, past or pending trading suspensions.

 

Facilities

 

Our sole officer and director, Joseph Lawanson, provides office space necessary for our current operations at no charge.

 

Employees

 

As of the date of this Offering Circular, we have no employees. Our sole officer an director currently serves without compensation.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Cautionary Statement

 

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our unaudited financial statements and related notes, beginning on page F-1 of this Offering Circular.

 

Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in the following discussion, as a result of a variety of risks and uncertainties, including those described under Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements and Risk Factors. We assume no obligation to update any of the forward-looking statements included herein.

 

Results of Operations

 

Our Company - Six Months Ended June 30, 2023 ("Interim 2023") and 2022 ("Interim 2022"). During Interim 2023, our business operations generated $30,541 (unaudited) in revenues from sales with a cost of goods sold of $74,443 (unaudited), resulting in a gross loss of $43,902 (unaudited). During Interim 2022, our business operations generated $6,552 (unaudited) in revenues from sales with a cost of goods sold of $-0- (unaudited), resulting in a gross profit of $6,552 (unaudited).

 

During Interim 2023, we incurred operating expenses of $34,257 (unaudited), which were comprised entirely of general and administrative expense, resulting in a net operating loss of $78,159 (unaudited). In addition, we incurred total other expense of $132,926 (unaudited), which was comprised primarily of a loss on receivable from subsidiary of $180,000 offset by other income items, resulting in a net loss for Interim 2023 of $211,085 (unaudited).

Our March 2023 purchase of substantially all of the assets of American Metabolix, Inc. (AMI), including assets associated with the “Storm Lifestyles” brand, which includes the “Storm” brand supplement product line, is expected to yield an increase in sales from quarter-to-quarter through the remainder of 2023 and into 2024. There is no assurance that such will be the case, and we expect to incur operating losses through at least December 31, 2023. Further, because of our relative current lack of capital and the current lack of brand name awareness of “Storm Lifestyles” and associated products, we cannot predict the levels of our future revenues.

 

All available capital will be applied to the development of our “Storm Lifestyles” brand, including the associated “Storm” supplement brand.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our Company – June 30, 2023. At June 30, 2023, our company had $-0- (unaudited) in cash and a working capital deficit of $1,655,109 (unaudited), compared to $-0- (unaudited) in cash and a working capital deficit of $749,724 (unaudited) at December 31, 2022. The change in our working capital position from December 31, 2022, to June 30, 2023, is attributable primarily to increased debt obligations resulting from our acquisition of substantially all of the assets of American Metabolix, Inc. (AMI), including the “Storm Lifestyle” brand and the associated “Storm” supplement product inventory.

 

In connection with our acquisition of the AMI assets, including the “Storm Lifestyle” assets and associated “Storm” supplement product inventory, we issued 8,333,333 shares of our common stock and a $249,903.14 principal amount promissory note, which bears interest at 10% per annum and is due on March 31, 2024. We do not currently possess funds with which to repay such promissory note. (See “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions”).

 

In May 2023, we issued a $250,000 principal amount promissory note to Carlos Hurtado, our former CEO, in payment of 14,190,125 shares of our common stock owned by him. This promissory note bears interest at 0% per annum, with principal due on May 31, 2024. All of the shares purchased from Hurtado are the subject of a pledge agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the promissory note, 283,803 shares will be released from the pledge for every $5,000 in principal paid. It is our intention to cancel all of the shares as are acquired and return them to authorized and unissued status. We do not currently possess funds with which to repay such promissory note. (See “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions”).

Our company’s current cash position of approximately $1,000 is not adequate for our company to maintain its present level of operations through the remainder of 2023. We must obtain additional capital, including in this offering, to implement our full business plans. There is no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining such additional capital.

 

Pro Forma – December 31, 2022. On a combined basis, at December 31, 2022, our company and AMI had $146 (unaudited) in cash and a working capital deficit of $1,037,059 (unaudited).

 

COVID-19

 

On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 (coronavirus) outbreak a “Public Health Emergency of International Concern” and on March 10, 2020, declared it to be a pandemic. Effective April 7, 2023, President Biden declared an end to the COVID-19 health emergency in the United States. However, the actions taken to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 and to mitigate economic damage have had and are expected to continue to have a broad adverse impact on the economies and financial markets of many countries, including the United States.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.

 

Contractual Obligations

 

To date, we have not entered into any significant long-term obligations that require us to make monthly cash payments.

 

Capital Expenditures

 

We made no capital expenditures during the six months ended June 30, 2023, and the year ended December 31, 2022. We do not expect to make capital expenditures during the next twelve months.

DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, PROMOTERS AND CONTROL PERSONS

 

Directors and Executive Officers

 

The following table sets forth certain information concerning our company’s sole officer and director.

 

Name   Age   Position(s)
Joseph Lawanson  52  Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Secretary and Director

 

Our directors serve until a successor is elected and qualified. Our officers are elected by the Board of Directors to a term of one (1) year and serves until their successor(s) is duly elected and qualified, or until they are removed from office.

 

Certain information regarding the backgrounds of our sole officer and director is set forth below.

 

Joseph Lawanson has served our company as CEO and Director since March 2023. From June 2021 to March 2023, Mr. Lawanson served as Director of Athletes for Supplement Group Europe LTD. Since May 2021, Mr. Lawanson has been owner-operator of Clear Key Enterprises, a logistics and delivery business. From April 2017 to March 2020, he served Sales Manager for GAT Sport. Before that, Mr. Lawanson served as Director of Athletes for MusclePharm.

 

Conflicts of Interest

 

At the present time, we do not foresee any direct conflict between our sole officer and director, his other business interests and his involvement in our company.

 

Corporate Governance and Director Independence

 

Our Board has not established any committees, including an audit committee, a compensation committee or a nominating committee, or any committee performing a similar function. The functions of those committees are being undertaken by our Board. Because we do not have any independent directors, our Board believes that the establishment of committees of our Board would not provide any benefits to our company and could be considered more form than substance.

 

We do not have a policy regarding the consideration of any director candidates that may be recommended by our stockholders, including the minimum qualifications for director candidates, nor have our officers and directors established a process for identifying and evaluating director nominees. We have not adopted a policy regarding the handling of any potential recommendation of director candidates by our stockholders, including the procedures to be followed. Our officers and directors have not considered or adopted any of these policies as we have never received a recommendation from any shareholder for any candidate to serve on our Board of Directors.

 

 

 

 

 

 28 

 

 

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

 

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

 

Neither of our directors is not independent. We are not currently subject to any law, rule or regulation requiring that all or any portion of our Board of Directors include independent directors.

 

Shareholder Communications with Our Board of Directors

 

Our company welcomes comments and questions from our shareholders. Shareholders should direct all communications to our Chief Executive Officer, Joseph Lawanson, at our executive offices. However, while we appreciate all comments from shareholders, we may not be able to respond individually to all communications. We attempt to address shareholder questions and concerns in our press releases and documents filed with OTC Markets, so that all shareholders have access to information about us at the same time. Mr. Lawanson collects and evaluates all shareholder communications. All communications addressed to our directors and executive officers will be reviewed by those parties, unless the communication is clearly frivolous.

 

Code of Ethics

 

Our Board of Directors has not adopted a Code of Ethics.

NxGen Brands, Inc.

Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

 

Note 1 - Organization and Operations

 

Nature of Business and Continuance of Operations

 

NxGen Brands, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated on August 27, 1997, in the State of Florida and subsequently re-domiciled in the State of Nevada. The Company is currently engaged in the Manufacturing, Marketing and Sales of non-THC CBD (Cannabidiol) and CBG (Cannabigerol) products. On March 23, 2023 entered into a definitive agreement with American Metabolix Inc. to purchase the assets of American Metabolix Inc.

 

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity financing. We had Stockholders deficit of $1,356,374 and had an accumulated deficit of $3,097,374. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

The Company’s management plans to raise funds in the next 12 months through a combination of debt financing and equity financing.

 

Note 2 - Significant and Critical Accounting Policies and Practices

 

a)    Basis of Presentation

 

These consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States and are expressed in US dollars. The Company’s fiscal year end is December 31.

 

b)    Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of NxGen Brands, Inc. and its 100% owned subsidiary, NxGen Brands LLC. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

c)    Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to stock-based compensation and deferred income tax asset valuation allowances.

 

The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.

 

 

 

 F-6 

 

 

d)    Reclassification

 

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.

 

e)    Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with an original maturity of Year or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents.

 

f)    Financial Instruments

 

The Company’s financial instruments consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, short-term debts and due to related parties. Pursuant to ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures and ASC 825, Financial Instruments the fair value of the Company’s cash equivalents is determined based on “Level 1” inputs, which consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets.

 

g)    Basic and diluted earnings per share

 

Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing Diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants.

 

f)    Foreign Currency Translation

 

The Company’s planned operations will be in the United States, which results in exposure to market risks from changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The financial risk is the risk to the Company’s operations that arise from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and the degree of volatility of these rates. Currently, the Company does not use derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to foreign currency risk. The Company's functional currency for all operations worldwide is the U.S. dollar.

 

Nonmonetary assets and liabilities are translated at historical rates and monetary assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates in effect at the end of the year. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates for the year. Gains and losses from translation of foreign currency financial statements into U.S. dollars are included in current results of operations.

 

g)    Revenue Recognition

 

ASU No. 2014-09Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“Topic 606”), became effective for the Company on January 1, 2018. The Company’s revenue recognition disclosure reflects its updated accounting policies that are affected by this new standard. The Company applied the “modified retrospective” transition method for open contracts for the implementation of Topic 606. 

 

The Company made no adjustments to its previously-reported total revenues, as those periods continue to be presented in accordance with its historical accounting practices under Topic 605, Revenue Recognition.

 

 

 

 F-7 

 

 

The Company will recognize revenue according to Topic 606 in a manner that reasonably reflects the delivery of its services and products to customers in return for expected consideration and includes the following elements:

 

  executed contracts with the Company’s customers that it believes are legally enforceable;
     
  identification of performance obligations in the respective contract;
     
  determination of the transaction price for each performance obligation in the respective contract;
     
  allocation the transaction price to each performance obligation; and
     
  recognition of revenue only when the Company satisfies each performance obligation.

 

The Company has had sales of $30,541 for the three months ended June 30, 2023.

 

h)    Income Taxes

 

The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes, whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences, and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, the Company does not foresee generating taxable income in the near future and utilizing its deferred tax asset, therefore, it is more likely than not that some portion, or all of, the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

 

A tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded. The Company has no material uncertain tax positions for any of the reporting periods presented.

 

i)    Stock-Based Compensation

 

We estimate the fair value of each stock option award at the grant date by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and common shares based on the market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of the share grant. The fair value determined represents the cost for the award and is recognized over the vesting period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award. As share-based compensation expense is recognized based on awards ultimately expected to vest, we reduce the expense for estimated forfeitures based on historical forfeiture rates. Previously recognized compensation costs may be adjusted to reflect the actual forfeiture rate for the entire award at the end of the vesting period. Excess tax benefits, if any, are recognized as an addition to paid-in capital.

 

Fair value measurements

 

When required to measure assets or liabilities at fair value, the Company uses a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used. The Company determines the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements in their entirety fall. The categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Level 1 uses quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities, Level 2 uses significant other observable inputs, and Level 3 uses significant unobservable inputs. The amount of the total gains or losses for the period are included in earnings that are attributable to the change in unrealized gains or losses relating to those assets and liabilities still held at the reporting date. The Company has no assets or liabilities that are adjusted to fair value on a recurring basis.

 

 

 

 F-8 

 

 

Convertible financial instruments

 

The Company bifurcates conversion options from their host instruments and accounts for them as free-standing derivative financial instruments if certain criteria are met. The criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not remeasured at fair value under otherwise applicable generally accepted accounting principles with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur, and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument. An exception to this rule is when the host instrument is deemed to be conventional, as that term is described under applicable U.S. GAAP.

 

Beneficial conversion feature

 

The issuance of the convertible debt generated a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”), which arises when a debt or equity security is issued with an embedded conversion option that is beneficial to the investor or in the money at inception because the conversion option has an effective strike price that is less than the market price of the underlying stock at the commitment date. The Company recognized the BCF by allocating the intrinsic value of the conversion option, which is the number of shares of common stock available upon conversion multiplied by the difference between the effective conversion price per share and the fair value of common stock per share on the commitment date, resulting in a discount on the convertible debt (recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital). The discount is amortized to interest expense over the term of the convertible debt.

 

j) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The update modified the classification criteria and requires lessees to recognize the assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for most leases. The update was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. Adoption of this update as of July 1, 2019 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements because the Company has no long-term operating leases.

 

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The update aligns the accounting for share-based payment awards issued to nonemployees with those issued to employees. Under the new guidance, the nonemployee awards will be measured on the grant date and compensation costs will be recognized when achievement of the performance condition is probable. This new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that fiscal year. The adoption of the new guidance on July 1, 2019 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework- Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The update modifies the disclosure requirements for recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements, primarily those surrounding Level 3 fair value measurements and transfers between Level 1 and Level 2. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within that reporting period. The Company is currently evaluating the new guidance and does not expect it to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, ASC Subtopic 470-20 “Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options” and ASC subtopic 815-40 “Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity”. The standard reduced the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock. Convertible instruments that continue to be subject to separation models are (1) those with embedded conversion features that are not clearly and closely related to the host contract, that meet the definition of a derivative, and that do not qualify for a scope exception from derivative accounting; and, (2) convertible debt instruments issued with substantial premiums for which the premiums are recorded as paid-in capital. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the adoption of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.

 

 

 

 F-9 

 

 

As of June 30, 2023 and 2021, there are no recently issued accounting standards not yet adopted that would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements to have a material impact on the Company’s CFS.

 

Note 3 – Going Concern

 

The Company’s financial statements have been prepared assuming that it will continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets, and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.

 

As reflected in the financial statements, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $3,097,374 at June 30, 2023, a net loss of $198,778 for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and net cash used in operating activities of $0 for the reporting period then ended. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The Company has commenced operations and has generated revenue; however, the Company’s cash position may not be sufficient to support the Company’s daily operations. Management intends to raise additional funds by way of a private or public offering.

 

While the Company believes in the viability of its strategy to continue operations and generate sufficient revenue and in its ability to raise additional funds, there can be no assurances to that effect. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to further implement its business plan and generate sufficient revenue and its ability to raise additional funds by way of a public or private offering.

 

The financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Year Ended December 31, 2022

 

Note 1 - Organization and Operations

 

Nature of Business and Continuance of Operations

 

NxGen Brands, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated on August 27, 1997, in the State of Florida and subsequently re- domiciled in the State of Nevada. The Company is currently engaged in the Manufacturing, Marketing and Sales of non- THC CBD (Cannabidiol) and CBG (Cannabigerol) products.,

 

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its shareholders, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary equity financing. We had Stockholders deficit of $564,724 and had an accumulated deficit of $2,304,412. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

The Company’s management plans to raise funds in the next 12 months through a combination of debt financing and equity financing.

 

Note 2 - Significant and Critical Accounting Policies and Practices

 

a)Basis of Presentation

 

These consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States and are expressed in US dollars. The Company’s fiscal year end is December 31.

 

b)Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of NxGen Brands, Inc. and its 100% owned subsidiary, NxGen Brands LLC. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

c)Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to stock-based compensation and deferred income tax asset valuation allowances.

 

 

 

 F-16 

 

 

The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.

 

d)Reclassification

 

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.

 

e)Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with an original maturity of Year or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents.

 

f)Financial Instruments

 

The Company’s financial instruments consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, short-term debts and due to related parties. Pursuant to ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures and ASC 825, Financial Instruments the fair value of the Company’s cash equivalents is determined based on “Level 1” inputs, which consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets.

 

g)Basic and diluted earnings per share

 

Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing Diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants.

 

f)Foreign Currency Translation

 

The Company’s planned operations will be in the United States, which results in exposure to market risks from changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The financial risk is the risk to the Company’s operations that arise from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and the degree of volatility of these rates. Currently, the Company does not use derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to foreign currency risk. The Company's functional currency for all operations worldwide is the U.S. dollar.

 

Nonmonetary assets and liabilities are translated at historical rates and monetary assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates in effect at the end of the year. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates for the year. Gains and losses from translation of foreign currency financial statements into U.S. dollars are included in current results of operations.

g)Revenue Recognition

 

ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“Topic 606”), became effective for the Company on January 1, 2018. The Company’s revenue recognition disclosure reflects its updated accounting policies that are affected by this new standard. The Company applied the “modified retrospective” transition method for open contracts for the implementation of Topic 606.

 

The Company made no adjustments to its previously-reported total revenues, as those periods continue to be presented in accordance with its historical accounting practices under Topic 605, Revenue Recognition.

 

The Company will recognize revenue according to Topic 606 in a manner that reasonably reflects the delivery of its services and products to customers in return for expected consideration and includes the following elements:

 

·executed contracts with the Company’s customers that it believes are legally enforceable;
·identification of performance obligations in the respective contract;
·determination of the transaction price for each performance obligation in the respective contract;
·allocation the transaction price to each performance obligation; and
·recognition of revenue only when the Company satisfies each performance obligation.

 

The Company has had sales of $15,133 for the year ended December 31, 2022

 

h)Income Taxes

 

The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes, whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences, and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, the Company does not foresee generating taxable income in the near future and utilizing its deferred tax asset, therefore, it is more likely than not that some portion, or all of, the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

 

A tax position is recognized as a benefit only if it is “more likely than not” that the tax position would be sustained in a tax examination, with a tax examination being presumed to occur. The amount recognized is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized on examination. For tax positions not meeting the “more likely than not” test, no tax benefit is recorded. The Company has no material uncertain tax positions for any of the reporting periods presented.

 

i)Stock-Based Compensation

 

We estimate the fair value of each stock option award at the grant date by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and common shares based on the market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of the share grant. The fair value determined represents the cost for the award and is recognized over the vesting period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award. As share-based compensation expense is recognized based on awards ultimately expected to vest, we reduce the expense for estimated forfeitures based on historical forfeiture rates. Previously recognized compensation costs may be adjusted to reflect the actual forfeiture rate for the entire award at the end of the vesting period. Excess tax benefits, if any, are recognized as an addition to paid-in capital.

 

 

 

 F-18 

 

 

Fair value measurements

 

When required to measure assets or liabilities at fair value, the Company uses a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used. The Company determines the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements in their entirety fall. The categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Level 1 uses quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities, Level 2 uses significant other observable inputs, and Level 3 uses significant unobservable inputs. The amount of the total gains or losses for the period are included in earnings that are attributable to the change in unrealized gains or losses relating to those assets and liabilities still held at the reporting date. The Company has no assets or liabilities that are adjusted to fair value on a recurring basis.

 

Convertible financial instruments

 

The Company bifurcates conversion options from their host instruments and accounts for them as free-standing derivative financial instruments if certain criteria are met. The criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not remeasured at fair value under otherwise applicable generally accepted accounting principles with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur, and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument. An exception to this rule is when the host instrument is deemed to be conventional, as that term is described under applicable U.S. GAAP.

 

Beneficial conversion feature

 

The issuance of the convertible debt generated a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”), which arises when a debt or equity security is issued with an embedded conversion option that is beneficial to the investor or in the money at inception because the conversion option has an effective strike price that is less than the market price of the underlying stock at the commitment date. The Company recognized the BCF by allocating the intrinsic value of the conversion option, which is the number of shares of common stock available upon conversion multiplied by the difference between the effective conversion price per share and the fair value of common stock per share on the commitment date, resulting in a discount on the convertible debt (recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital). The discount is amortized to interest expense over the term of the convertible debt.

 

j)Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The update modified the classification criteria and requires lessees to recognize the assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for most leases. The update was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted.

 

Adoption of this update as of July 1, 2019 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements because the Company has no long-term operating leases.

 

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The update aligns the accounting for share-based payment awards issued to nonemployees with those issued to employees. Under the new guidance, the nonemployee awards will be measured on the grant date and compensation costs will be recognized when achievement of the performance condition is probable. This new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that fiscal year. The adoption of the new guidance on July 1, 2019 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

 

 

 F-19 

 

 

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework- Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The update modifies the disclosure requirements for recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements, primarily those surrounding Level 3 fair value measurements and transfers between Level 1 and Level 2. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within that reporting period. The Company is currently evaluating the new guidance and does not expect it to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, ASC Subtopic 470-20 “Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options” and ASC subtopic 815-40 “Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity”. The standard reduced the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock. Convertible instruments that continue to be subject to separation models are (1) those with embedded conversion features that are not clearly and closely related to the host contract, that meet the definition of a derivative, and that do not qualify for a scope exception from derivative accounting; and, (2) convertible debt instruments issued with substantial premiums for which the premiums are recorded as paid-in capital. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the adoption of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.

 

As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, there are no recently issued accounting standards not yet adopted that would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements to have a material impact on the Company’s CFS.

 

Note 3 – Going Concern

 

The Company’s financial statements have been prepared assuming that it will continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets, and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.

 

As reflected in the financial statements, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $2,304,412 at December 31, 2022, a net loss of $48,533 for the year ended December 31, 2022 and net cash used in operating activities of $61 for the reporting period then ended. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The Company has commenced operations and has generated revenue; however, the Company’s cash position may not be sufficient to support the Company’s daily operations. Management intends to raise additional funds by way of a private or public offering.

 

While the Company believes in the viability of its strategy to continue operations and generate sufficient revenue and in its ability to raise additional funds, there can be no assurances to that effect. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to further implement its business plan and generate sufficient revenue and its ability to raise additional funds by way of a public or private offering.

 

The financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

The term of the loan is 30 years and bears an interest rate of 3.75% per annum, with the first payment occurring in July 2022. The funds will be used for general working capital purposes.

 

Note 8– Subsequent Events

 

The Company has evaluated subsequent events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements through December 31, 2022, the date the consolidated financial statements were available to be published, and the Company has expressed there are no reportable subsequent events to disclose.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Years Ended December 31, 2022 and 2021

(Unaudited)

 

 

Note 1 - Organization and Description of Business

 

American Metabolix, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the state of Colorado on January 8, 2021 through its parent Company, Torque Lifestyle Brands, Inc. (TQLB) controlled by David Lovatt and Leonard Armenta Jr.

 

The American Metabolix™ brand of products was acquired from Sensatus Group, LLC with certain nutritional supplements inventories and certain intangible assets (predominantly customer lists). The inventories and intangible assets were later on transferred to the Company.

 

American Metabolix, Inc. seeks to become a recognized brand name in the supplements production industry with its headquarters in the United States of America.

 

On September 1, 2021, TQLB sold all 100 of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of American Metabolix, Inc. (the “Company”) to GenTech Holdings, Inc. (See Note 4).

 

On October 28, 2021, the Company filed statement of a trade name “Storm Lifestyles” with the Colorado Secretary of State.

 

The Company has adopted a fiscal year end of December 31.

 

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents include all short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and have original maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase. Cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 were $ 146.33 and $255,637.26 respectively.

 

 

 

 

 F-26 

 

 

Accounts Receivable

 

Accounts receivable are non-interest-bearing obligations due under the normal course of business. The management reviews account receivable on a monthly basis to determine if any receivables will be potentially uncollectible. Historical bad debts and current economic trends are used in evaluating the allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company includes any accounts receivable balances that are determined to be uncollectible in its overall allowance for doubtful accounts. After all attempts to collect a receivable have failed, the receivable is written off against the allowance. At December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $0 and $39,697.60 respectively.

 

Customer Lists Asset

 

Customer lists were acquired from Sensatus Group, LLC in connection with the asset purchase agreement dated January 20, 2021. The cost of $ 800,000 allocated to customer lists was being amortized using the straight-line method over the three years estimated economic life of the customer lists. On September 1, 2021, the customer lists were transferred to GenTech Holdings, Inc. in connection with share purchase agreement (See Note 4).

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company’s long-lived assets, including customer lists and intangible assets (trademarks), are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of an asset to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such asset is considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value. Impairment evaluations involve management’s estimates on asset useful lives and future cash flows. Actual useful lives and cash flows could be different from those estimated by management which could have a material effect on our reporting results and financial position. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques including discounted cash flow models, quoted market values and third-party independent appraisals, as considered necessary.

 

Inventory

 

Inventory, consisting of nutritional supplements under the Storm Lifestyles brand name, is stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Adjustments to reduce the cost of inventory to its net realizable value are made, if required, for estimated excess, obsolescence, or impaired balances.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Revenue is recognized only when all of the following conditions have been met: (i) there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement; (ii) delivery has occurred; (iii) the price or fee is fixed or determinable; and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured.

 

The Company defers any revenue for which the product has not been delivered or is subject to refund until such time that the Company and the customer jointly determine that the product has been delivered or no refund will be required. During the years ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company recorded $636,979.16 and $697,981.10 respectively in revenues from sales.

 

 

 

 F-27 

 

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740 “Income Taxes.” Under the asset and liability method of ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. 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 income in the period the enactment occurs. A valuation allowance is provided for certain deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize tax assets through future operations.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company’s balance sheet includes certain financial instruments such as cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, loans payable, loans payable-related parties and accounts payable. The carrying amounts of current assets and current liabilities approximate their fair values because of the relatively short period of time between the origination of these instruments and their expected realization.

 

The Company follows FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” which defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

 

·Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.
   
·Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates); and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
   
·Level 3 – Inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

 

As of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were no financial assets or liabilities measured at fair value.

 

Related Parties

 

The Company follows ASC 850, Related Party Disclosures, for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2021, related parties advanced $ 1,041,871, to the Company as working capital. As of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, total loans payable to related parties were $1,041,871 and $ 814,636.47, respectively. The advances are non-interest bearing and are due on demand.
