    Penny Stock Rules -If our shares become subject to the penny stock rules, it would become more difficult to trade our shares.

    Our common stock is considered a "penny stock." The principal result or effect of being designated a penny stock is that securities broker-dealers participating in sales of our common stock are subject to the penny stock regulations set forth in Rules 15g-2 through 15g-9 promulgated under the Exchange Act. For example, Rule 15g-2 requires broker-dealers dealing in penny stocks to provide potential investors with a document disclosing the risks of penny stocks and to obtain a manually signed and dated written receipt of the document at least two business days before effecting any transaction in a penny stock for the investor's account. Moreover, Rule 15g-9 requires broker-dealers in penny stocks to approve the account of any investor for transactions in such stocks before selling any penny stock to that investor. This procedure requires the broker-dealer to (i) obtain from the investor information concerning his or her financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives; (ii) reasonably determine, based on that information, that transactions in penny stocks are suitable for the investor and that the investor has sufficient knowledge and experience as to be reasonably capable of evaluating the risks of penny stock transactions; (iii) provide the investor with a written statement setting forth the basis on which the broker-dealer made the determination in (ii) above; and (iv) receive a signed and dated copy of such statement from the investor, confirming that it accurately reflects the investor's financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives. Compliance with these requirements may make it more difficult and time consuming for holders of our common stock to resell their shares to third parties or to otherwise dispose of them in the market or otherwise.

    Shareholder Approval - Two affiliated parties currently own 47.93% of the total shares issued and outstanding, and as a result, collectively. controls all matters requiring shareholder approval.

    Market Group International (an entity controlled by Robert Van Boerum, a former director) Stuff International (an entity controlled by Adam Nicosia, our President / Chief Executive Officer and a director) and EcoScientific Labs (an entity controlled by Adam Nicosia, our President / Chief Executive Officer and a director) . together control the Company through the ownership approximately 47.93% of the Company's issued and outstanding common stock. As a result, these controlling stockholders may have the ability to strongly influence the outcome of all decisions at the Company's shareholder meetings, including electing our board of directors. The decisions of these stockholders on these matters may be contrary to your expectations or preferences, and they may take actions that could be contrary to your interests. So long as our controlling shareholder beneficially owns a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock, even if they beneficially own significantly less than 50% of our outstanding share capital, they will be able to effectively influence decisions that our shareholders vote on. Notwithstanding, upon completion of the Ballengee acquisition, if and when it occurs, the owners of the Ballengee group may own a large portion of our outstanding common stock post transaction, which may be in excess of 50%, which would effectively give such holders voting control of the Company.

    Smaller Reporting Company - We are a "smaller reporting company" and we cannot be certain if the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to smaller reporting companies will make our securities less attractive to investors.

    We are a "smaller reporting company," as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act, and we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies, including "emerging growth companies" such as, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. Our status as a smaller reporting company is determined on an annual basis. We cannot predict if investors will find our securities less attractive or our Company less comparable to certain other public companies because we will rely on these exemptions. For example, if we do not adopt a new or revised accounting standard, our future financial results may not be as comparable to the financial results of certain other companies in our industry that adopted such standards.

    History of Operations - The Company has limited operating history upon which an Investor can base an investment decision.

    The Company is an early-stage distribution company utilizing social media and its AI platform which might not be successful and therefore investors may lose their investment in the Company. Although the Company was formed on January 11, 2007, it has struggled to generate substantial sales and profitability and has tried to sell multiple products with limited success. It has been attempting to use social media and social media influencers to sell its products, but currently has had limited success and is unable to provide investors with significant data upon which an evaluation can be made of the Company's prospects and an investment in its securities. The Company cannot be certain that its business plan or the introduction of its AI based software for determining the best influencers to represent a product and/or the best products for a specific influencer to represent will be successful nor be able to generate substantial growth in sales. As an early-stage company, the Company will be particularly susceptible to the risks and uncertainties described in these risk factors and will be more likely to incur expenses associated with addressing them. The Company cannot assure investors that it will be able to achieve any of its objectives, generate sufficient revenues to achieve or sustain profitability.

FAQ

What are “Risk Factors”?
Risk factors are any situations or occurrences that could make investing in a company risky. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requires that publicly traded companies disclose their most significant risk factors. This is so that potential investors can consider any risks before they make an investment. They also offer companies protection, as a company can use risk factors as liability protection. This could happen if a company underperforms and investors take legal action as a result. It is worth noting that smaller companies, that is those with a public float of under $75 million on the last business day, do not have to include risk factors in their 10-K and 10-Q forms, although some may choose to do so.
How do companies disclose their risk factors?
Publicly traded companies initially disclose their risk factors to the SEC through their S-1 filings as part of the IPO process. Additionally, companies must provide a complete list of risk factors in their Annual Reports (Form 10-K) or (Form 20-F) for “foreign private issuers”. Quarterly Reports also include a section on risk factors (Form 10-Q) where companies are only required to update any changes since the previous report. According to the SEC, risk factors should be reported concisely, logically and in “plain English” so investors can understand them.
How can I use TipRanks risk factors in my stock research?
Use the Risk Factors tab to get data about the risk factors of any company in which you are considering investing. You can easily see the most significant risks a company is facing. Additionally, you can find out which risk factors a company has added, removed or adjusted since its previous disclosure. You can also see how a company’s risk factors compare to others in its sector. Without reading company reports or participating in conference calls, you would most likely not have access to this sort of information, which is usually not included in press releases or other public announcements. A simplified analysis of risk factors is unique to TipRanks.
