Risk Change Over Time
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1If we do not have sufficient authorized common stock for potential conversion of our outstanding Series B and Series D Preferred Stock, we could be at risk of breaching a forbearance agreement with the shareholder, Nicolas Link.
The company is in the process of entering into a forbearance agreement with Nicolas Link, the affiliate holder of our Series B and Series D Preferred Stock, to restrict him from converting his preferred stock into common stock until the earlier of one year from listing with a national exchange or two years from the date of the agreement. The number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion or exercise of outstanding preferred stock, warrants and convertible notes upon entering the Forbearance agreement are appx 2.3bn shares and below the 3.5bn authorized number of shares. After the forbearance period ends, we may be required to have sufficient shares of common stock available to accommodate future conversions of the preferred stock. If we breach our obligations under the forbearance agreement with the holder of our Series B Preferred Stock and our Series D Preferred Stock, including our failure to convert the preferred stock into shares of common stock as a result of an insufficient number of shares of authorized common stock available for issuance, we would be in default of the agreement if Nicolas Link chooses to convert the applicable preferred stock into shares of common stock.
- Accounting & Financial Operations - Risk 2Our projections are subject to significant risks, assumptions, estimates and uncertainties, including assumptions regarding future legislation and changes in regulations of the jurisdictions in which we operate, or seek to operate, our business. As a result, our projected revenues, market share, expenses and profitability may differ materially from our expectations.
We operate in a rapidly evolving and highly competitive industry and our projections are subject to the risks and assumptions made by management with respect to the respective industry. Operating results are difficult to forecast because they generally depend on our assessment of factors that are inherently beyond our control and impossible to predict with certainty, such as the timing of adoption of future legislation and regulations by different jurisdictions. Furthermore, if we invest in the development of new products or distribution channels that do not achieve commercial success, whether because of competition or otherwise, we may not recover the often material "up front" costs of developing and marketing those products and distribution channels or recover the opportunity cost of diverting management and financial resources away from other products or distribution channels. Additionally, our business may be affected by reductions in customer acquisition, customer persistency and customer spending as a result of numerous factors which may be difficult to predict. This may result in decreased revenue levels, and we may be unable to adopt timely measures to compensate for any unexpected shortfall in income. Our profitability projections make numerous assumptions about the expected future levels of various expense items. Historically most of these expense items have been relatively stable or predictable either in absolute terms or in relation to revenue but there is no certainty that such stability or predictability will continue into the future. These inabilities could cause our operating results in a given period to be higher or lower than expected. If actual results differ from our estimates, analysts may negatively react, and our share price could be adversely impacted.
- Accounting & Financial Operations - Risk 3We have a substantial amount of goodwill on our balance sheet. Future write-offs of goodwill may have the effect of decreasing our earnings or increasing our losses.
We have obtained growth through the acquisition of Quality International. Under existing accounting standards, we are required to periodically review goodwill assets for possible impairment. In the event that we are required to write down the value of any assets under these pronouncements, it may materially and adversely affect our earnings. See the more detailed discussion appearing as part of our Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and in our financial footnotes. The percentage of our goodwill and intangible assets compared to our total assets as of December 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, were 13.8% and 14.7%, respectively.

Risk Factors Full Breakdown - Total Risks 56
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1The issuance of shares of our common stock upon conversion or exercise of preferred stock, warrants and convertible notes, will dilute ownership to existing shareholders and may cause our stock price to fall.
Any issuance of additional common stock by us in the future as a result of the conversion or exercise of warrants, convertible notes, preferred stock or debt settlements would result in dilution to our existing shareholders. Such issuances could be made at a price that reflects a discount or a premium to the then-current trading price of our common stock. Moreover, the perception in the public market that shareholders might sell shares of our stock or that we could make a significant issuance of additional common stock in the future could depress the market for our shares. These sales, or the perception that these sales might occur, could depress the market price of our common stock, or make it more difficult for us to sell equity securities in the future at a time and at a price that we deem appropriate. We have issued shares of our common stock, as well as other securities such as warrants, convertible notes, preferred stock, or debt settlements, which are convertible into shares of our common stock, in financing transactions that are deemed to be "restricted securities," as that term is defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act. From time to time, certain of our shareholders or derivative security holders may be eligible to sell all or some of their restricted shares of common stock by means of ordinary brokerage transactions in the open market pursuant to Rule 144, subject to certain limitations. The resale pursuant to Rule 144 of shares acquired from us in private transactions could cause our stock price to decline significantly.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 2Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales could occur, could cause our stock price to fall.
The market price of our common stock could decline significantly as a result of sales of a large number of shares of our common stock. If our existing stockholders sell, or indicate an intention to sell, substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market after the contractual and securities law restrictions on resale of such common stock lapse, or after those shares become registered for resale pursuant to an effective registration statement, the trading price of our common stock could decline. As of March 31, 2024, a total of 1,891,098,758 shares of our common stock were outstanding. Of those shares, 1,705,260,303 was without restriction, in the public market. Upon the effectiveness of any registration statement, we could elect to file with respect to any outstanding shares of common stock, any sales of those shares or any perception in the market that such sales may occur could cause the trading price of our common stock to decline.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 3Our common stock price may be volatile and could fluctuate, which could result in substantial losses for investors.
Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Pink Market under the symbol, "ILUS." The market price of our common stock is likely to be volatile and could fluctuate in price in response to various factors, many of which are beyond our control, including: - government regulation of our Company and operations. - the establishment of partnerships. - intellectual property disputes. - additions or departures of key personnel. - sales of our common stock. - our ability to integrate operations, technology, products, and services. - our ability to execute our business plan. - operating results below expectations. - loss of any strategic relationship. - industry developments. - economic and other external factors; and - period-to-period fluctuations in our financial results. In addition, the securities markets have from time-to-time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 4We may conduct offerings of our equity securities in the future, in which case your proportionate interest may become diluted.
We may be required to conduct equity offerings in the future to finance our current projects or to finance subsequent projects that we decide to undertake. If our common stock shares are issued in return for additional funds, the price per share could be lower than that paid by our current shareholders but to increase overall value for all shareholders. We anticipate continuing to rely on equity sales of our common stock shares to fund our business operations. If we issue additional common stock shares or securities convertible into shares of our common stock, your percentage interest in us could become diluted.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 5If we do not have sufficient authorized common stock for potential conversion of our outstanding Series B and Series D Preferred Stock, we could be at risk of breaching a forbearance agreement with the shareholder, Nicolas Link.
The company is in the process of entering into a forbearance agreement with Nicolas Link, the affiliate holder of our Series B and Series D Preferred Stock, to restrict him from converting his preferred stock into common stock until the earlier of one year from listing with a national exchange or two years from the date of the agreement. The number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion or exercise of outstanding preferred stock, warrants and convertible notes upon entering the Forbearance agreement are appx 2.3bn shares and below the 3.5bn authorized number of shares. After the forbearance period ends, we may be required to have sufficient shares of common stock available to accommodate future conversions of the preferred stock. If we breach our obligations under the forbearance agreement with the holder of our Series B Preferred Stock and our Series D Preferred Stock, including our failure to convert the preferred stock into shares of common stock as a result of an insufficient number of shares of authorized common stock available for issuance, we would be in default of the agreement if Nicolas Link chooses to convert the applicable preferred stock into shares of common stock.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 6Our common stock is currently deemed a "penny stock," which makes it more difficult for our investors to sell their shares.
Our common stock is currently deemed a "penny stock," which makes it more difficult for our investors to sell their shares. The SEC has adopted rule 3a51-1 which establishes the definition of a "penny stock," for the purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, Rule 15g-9 requires: - that a broker or dealer approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks, and - the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased. In order to approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must: - obtain financial information and investment experience objectives of the person, and - make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks. The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prescribed by the SEC relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form: - sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination and - that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction. Generally, brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the "penny stock" rules. This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of our common stock and cause a decline in the market value of our stock.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 7Our officers and directors are located outside of the U.S., so it will be difficult to effect service of process and enforcement of legal judgments upon our officers and directors.
Our officers and directors are located outside of the United States and reside in the U.A.E, U.K., and Denmark. As a result, it may be difficult to effect service of process within the United States and enforce judgments of the US courts obtained against our executive officers and directors. Particularly, our shareholders may not be able to: - Effect service of process in the U.S. on any of our officers and directors; - Enforce judgments obtained in U.S. courts against our officers and directors based upon the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws; - Enforce, in a court outside of the U.S., judgments of U.S. courts based on the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws; and - Bring an original action in a court in the U.A.E, U.K., or Denmark to enforce liabilities against any of our officers and directors based upon the U.S. federal securities laws.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 8Our largest shareholder, officer, director, Nicolas Link holds substantial control over the company and is able to influence all corporate matters, which could be deemed by shareholders as not always being in their best interests.
Nicolas Link, our Chief Executive Officer (Principal Executive Officer & Chairman of the Board of Directors) with his company, FB Technologies Global, Inc. Dubai, U.A.E, owns approximately 0.5% of the outstanding shares of common stock, owns all of the outstanding shares of Class A Preferred Stock, Class B Preferred Stock and Class D Preferred Stock and owns 15% of the outstanding shares of Class F Preferred Stock. Our common stock is entitled to one vote per share on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders, including the election of directors. Each share of Class A Preferred Stock is entitled to vote together with the holders of our common stock on all matters submitted to shareholders at a rate of 500 votes, including the election of directors. Each share of Class D Preferred Stock is entitled to vote together with the holders of our common stock on all matters submitted to shareholders at a rate of 500 votes, including the election of directors. There are 1,954,067,060 shares of common stock outstanding, which amounts to 1,954,067,060 votes on matters requiring a shareholder vote. While Mr. Link owns only 2% of the outstanding common shares, with the Series A Preferred Stock that Mr. Link owns, he has the power over 5,000,000,000 votes and with the Series D Preferred Stock, he has the power to over 30,370,500,000 additional votes on matters requiring a shareholder vote, including the election of directors. He will have voting power over every aspect of our business. By virtue of his ownership of common stock and preferred stock, Mr. Link is able to exercise significant influence over all matters requiring approval by our stockholders, including the election of directors, the approval of significant corporate transactions, and any change of control of our company.
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 9We May be Subject to Loss in Market Share and Market Acceptance as a Result of Performance Failures, Manufacturing Errors, Delays or Shortages.
There is a risk that for unforeseen reasons we may be required to repair or replace products in use or to reimburse customers for products that fail to work or meet strict performance criteria. To date, we have experienced some product failures related to electronic and mechanical components within equipment and vehicles. These are either repaired under warranty or at cost to the customer or under a maintenance agreement. Other disruptions in the supply chain process or product sales and fulfilment systems for any reason, including equipment malfunction, failure to follow specific protocols and procedures, supplier facility shut-downs, defective raw materials, wars and conflict, natural disasters such as hurricanes, tornadoes or wildfires, property damage from riots, and other environmental factors and the impact of epidemics or pandemics, such as Covid-19, and actions by businesses, communities and governments in response, could lead to launch delays, product shortage, unanticipated costs, lost revenues and damage to our reputation. We have taken steps to limit remedies for product failure to the repair or replacement of malfunctioning or non-compliant products or services, and also attempt to exclude or minimize exposure to product and related liabilities by including in our standard agreements warranty disclaimers and disclaimers for consequential and related damages as well as limitations on our aggregate liability. From time to time, in certain sales transactions, we may negotiate liability provisions that vary from such standard forms. There is a risk that our contractual provisions may not adequately minimize our product and related liabilities or that such provisions may be unenforceable. We intend to carry product liability insurance, but coverage we secure may not be adequate to cover potential claims. Moreover, to the extent we have to repair, reimburse, or expend funds to cover customer service issues, our results of operations will be negatively affected.
