The Company considers the following to be all known material risks to an investor regarding this offering. The Company should be viewed as a high-risk investment and speculative in nature. An investment in our common stock may result in a complete loss of the invested amount. Please consider the following risk factors before deciding to invest in our common stock.
The Current Coronavirus Pandemic May Adversely Affect the Global Economy and the Company’s Operations
As has been widely reported, the emergence of a novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) and a related respiratory disease (COVID-19) in China resulted in the spread to additional countries throughout the world, including the United States, leading to a global pandemic.
The COVID-19 pandemic has led to severe disruptions and volatility in the global supply chain, market and economies, and those disruptions have since intensified and will likely continue for some time. Concern about the potential effects of COVID-19 and the effectiveness of measures being put in place by global governmental bodies at various levels as well as by private enterprises (such as workplaces, trade groups, amateur and professional sports leagues and conferences, places of worship, schools and retail establishments, among others) to contain or mitigate the spread of COVID-19 have adversely affected economic conditions and markets globally, and have led to significant, sustained and unprecedented volatility in the financial markets. Measures implemented in the United States to limit the spread of COVID-19, such as quarantines, event cancellations and social distancing, will significantly limit economic activity. There can be no assurance that such measures or other additional measures implemented from time to time will be successful in limiting the spread of the virus and what effect those measures will have on the economy generally or on the Company.
There can be no assurance that any measures undertaken by the federal government, or by state or local governments, will be effective to mitigate the negative near-term and potentially longer-term impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on employment, construction and the global economy more generally.
Many businesses have moved to a remote working environment, temporarily suspended operations, laid-off or furloughed a significant percentage of their workforce or shut down completely. Other businesses have transitioned or may in the future transition all or a substantial portion of their operations to remote working environments (as a result of state or local requirements or otherwise in response to the COVID-19 pandemic). Although the Company had already implemented a remote work environment, there is no assurance that the continued remote working environment will not have a material adverse impact on the Company or its customers, which may adversely impact the Company and its operations.

| Table of Contents |
The COVID-19 pandemic did not require the closure of Company operations. The Company suspended in-person client and business development meetings in late March 2020. During the timeframe in which in-person meetings were suspended, Company management reallocated resources to on-line client and business development.
Management’s outlook for the near-term business operations will mirror the overall continued reopening of business operations within the United States.
Natural disasters and other events beyond our control could materially adversely affect us.
Natural disasters or other catastrophic events may cause damage or disruption to our operations, international commerce and the global economy, and thus could have a strong negative effect on us. Our business operations are subject to interruption by natural disasters, fire, power shortages, pandemics and other events beyond our control. Although we maintain crisis management and disaster response plans, such events could make it difficult or impossible for us to deliver our services to our customers and could decrease demand for our services. In the spring of 2020, large segments of the U.S. and global economies were impacted by COVID-19, a significant portion of the U.S. population are subject to “stay at home” or similar requirements. The extent of the impact of COVID-19 on our operational and financial performance will depend on certain developments, including the duration and spread of the outbreak, impact on our customers and our sales cycles, impact on our customer, employee or industry events, and effect on our vendors, all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted. At this point, the extent to which COVID-19 may impact our financial condition or results of operations is uncertain. To date, the COVID-19 outbreak, has significantly impacted global markets, U.S. employment numbers, as well as the business prospects of many small businesses (our potential clients). To the extent COVID-19 continues to wreak havoc on the markets and limits investment capital or personally impacts any of our key employees, it may have significant impact on our results and operations.
We may not be able to successfully compete against companies with substantially greater resources.
The industry of film finance, production and development in which we operate in general is subject to intense and increasing competition. Some of our competitors may have greater capital resources which may enable them to compete more effectively in this market. Our competitors may devote their resources to developing and marketing products that will directly compete with our product lines. Due to this competition, there is no assurance that we will not encounter difficulties in obtaining revenues and market share or in the positioning of our products. There are no assurances that competition in our respective industries will not lead to reduced prices for our products. If we are unable to successfully compete with existing companies and new entrants to the market this will have a negative impact on our business and financial condition.
We face substantial capital requirements and financial risks.
The production, acquisition and distribution of motion pictures and television content requires substantial capital. A significant amount of time may elapse between our expenditure of funds and the receipt of revenues after release or distribution of such content. Although we reduce the risks of production exposure through tax credit programs, government and industry programs, co-financiers and other sources, we cannot assure you that we will continue to successfully implement these arrangements or that we will not be subject to substantial financial risks relating to the production, acquisition and distribution of future motion picture and television content. Additionally, the production, completion and distribution of motion picture and television content can be subject to a number of uncertainties, including delays and increased expenditures due to disruptions or events beyond our control. As a result, if production incurs substantial budget overruns, we may have to seek additional financing or fund the overrun ourselves. We cannot make assurances regarding the availability of such additional financing on terms acceptable to us, or that we will recoup these costs. For instance, increased costs or budget overruns incurred with respect to a particular film may prevent a picture from being completed or released or may result in a delayed release and the postponement to a potentially less favorable date, all of which could cause a decline in box office performance, and, thus, the overall financial success of such film. Any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, operating results, liquidity and prospects.
| 9 |
| Table of Contents |
We may incur significant write-offs if our projects do not perform well enough to recoup costs.
We are required to amortize capitalized production costs over the expected revenue streams as we recognize revenue from films or other projects. The amount of production costs that will be amortized each quarter depends on, among other things, how much future revenue we expect to receive from each project. Unamortized production costs are evaluated for impairment each reporting period on a project-by-project basis. If estimated remaining revenue is not sufficient to recover the unamortized production costs, including because of delayed theatrical distribution of films as a result of the COVID-19 global pandemic and its effects, those costs will be written down to fair value. In any given quarter, if we lower our previous forecast with respect to total anticipated revenue from any film or other project, we may be required to accelerate amortization or record impairment charges with respect to the unamortized costs, even if we previously recorded impairment charges for such film or other project. Such impairment charges could adversely impact our business, operating results and financial condition.
Changes in our business strategy, plans for growth or restructuring may increase our costs or otherwise affect our profitability.
As changes in our business environment occur, we may adjust our business strategies to meet these changes, which may include growing a particular area of business or restructuring a particular business or asset. In addition, external events including changing technology, changing consumer patterns, acceptance of our theatrical and television offerings and changes in macroeconomic condition, including the volatility and uncertainty in financial markets as a result of the COVID-19 global pandemic, may impair the value of our assets. When these occur, we may incur costs to change our business strategy and may need to write down the value of assets. We may also expand existing or new business divisions, including international expansion of our business and in new business lines. Some of these restructuring changes may have negative or low short-term returns and the ultimate prospects of the businesses may be uncertain or, in international markets, may not develop at a rate that supports our plans for growth or restructuring. In any of these events, our costs may increase, we may have significant charges associated with the write down of assets or returns on restricting may be lower than prior to the change in strategy, plans for growth or restructuring.
Our revenues and results of operations may fluctuate significantly.
Our results of operations depend significantly upon the commercial success of the motion picture, television and other content that we sell, license or distribute, which cannot be predicted with certainty. In particular, the underperformance at the box office of one or more motion pictures in any period may cause our revenue and earnings results for that period (and potentially, subsequent periods) to be less than anticipated, in some instances, to a significant extent. Accordingly, our results of operations may fluctuate significantly from period to period, and the results of any one period may not be indicative of the results for any future periods. Our results of operations also fluctuate due to the timing, mix, number and availability of our theatrical motion picture releases, as well as license periods for content. Our operating results may increase or decrease during a particular period or fiscal year due to differences in the number and/or mix of films released compared to the corresponding period in the prior fiscal year. In addition, the comparability of our results may be affected by changes in accounting guidance or changes in our ownership of certain assets and businesses. Accordingly, our results of operations from year to year may not be directly comparable to prior reporting periods.
We do not have long-term arrangements with many of our production or co-financing partners.
We typically do not enter into long term production contracts with the creative producers of motion picture and television content that we produce, acquire or distribute. There is no guarantee that we will produce, acquire or distribute future content by any creative producer or co-financing partner, and a failure to do so could adversely affect our business, financial condition, operating results, liquidity and prospects.
We rely on a few major retailers and distributors and the loss of any of those could reduce our revenues and operating results.
A small number of other retailers and distributors account for a material percentage of our revenues. We do not have long-term agreements with retailers. We cannot assure you that we will continue to maintain favorable relationships with our retailers and distributors or that they will not be adversely affected by economic conditions, including as a result of the COVID-19 global pandemic and its effects.

| Table of Contents |
We are subject to risks associated with possible acquisitions, dispositions, business combinations, or joint ventures.
From time to time, we engage in discussions and activities with respect to possible acquisitions, sale of assets, business combinations, or joint ventures intended to complement or expand our business. However, we may not realize the anticipated benefit from the transactions we pursue; there may be liabilities assumed that we did not discover or that we underestimated in the course of performing our due diligence; the negotiation of the transaction and the integration of the acquired business could require us to incur significant costs and cause diversion of management's time and resources; the transaction could result in impairment of goodwill and other intangibles, development write-offs and other related expenses; the transaction may pose challenges in the consolidation and integration of information technology, accounting systems, personnel and operations; and we may have difficulty managing the combined entity in the short term if we experience a significant loss of management personnel during the transition period after a significant acquisition. No assurance can be given that expansion or acquisition opportunities will be successful, completed on time, or that we will realize expected operating efficiencies, cost savings, revenue enhancements, synergies or other benefits. Any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, operating results, liquidity and prospects. If we determine to sell individual properties, libraries or other assets or businesses, we will benefit from the net proceeds realized from such sales. However, our revenues may suffer in the long term due to the disposition of a revenue generating asset, or the timing of such dispositions may be poor, causing us to fail to realize the full value of the disposed asset, all of which may diminish our ability to service our indebtedness and repay our notes and our other indebtedness at maturity. Furthermore, our future growth may be inhibited if the disposed asset contributed in a significant way to the diversification of our business platform.
Our success depends on external factors in the motion picture, television, and music industry.
Generally, the popularity of our content depends on many factors, including the critical acclaim they receive, the format of their initial release, their talent, their genre and their specific subject matter, audience reaction, the quality and acceptance of content that our competitors release into the marketplace at or near the same time, critical reviews, the availability of alternative forms of entertainment and leisure activities, general economic conditions and other tangible and intangible factors, many of which we do not control and all of which may change. In addition, because a performance in ancillary markets, such as home video and pay and free television, is often related to its box office performance or television ratings, poor box office results or poor television ratings may negatively affect future revenue streams. Our success will depend on the experience and judgment of our management to select and develop new production opportunities.
We compete with other programming services, including cable programming, national broadcast television, local broadcast television stations and digital music services to secure desired programming, the competition for which has increased as the number of programming services has increased. Increased competition may drive up talent and production costs and may force some programming services to commit to straight-to-series orders for programming instead of a pilot order. If we commit to straight-to-series orders and those series do not meet anticipated production or quality standards or are otherwise not accepted by audiences, revisions to the programming may be necessary, which could increase production costs. The increased financial commitment for a straight-to-series order or music production also could increase the risks associated with such an order. Other programming services that are affiliated with programming sources such as movie or television studios or film libraries may have a competitive advantage over us in this area. Some of these competitors have exclusive contracts with motion picture studios or independent motion picture distributors or own films, music libraries, and musical scores.

Global economic turmoil and regional economic conditions in the U.S. could adversely affect our business.
Global economic turmoil, such as that being created by the COVID-19 global pandemic and its effects, may cause a general tightening in the credit markets, lower levels of liquidity, increases in the rates of default and bankruptcy, levels of intervention from the U.S. federal government and other foreign governments, decreased consumer confidence, overall slower economic activity and extreme volatility in credit, equity and fixed income markets. A decrease in economic activity in the U.S. or in other regions of the world in which we do business could adversely affect demand for our content, thus reducing our revenues and earnings. A decline in economic conditions could reduce performance of our theatrical, television and home entertainment releases. In addition, an increase in price levels generally could result in a shift in consumer demand away from the entertainment we offer, which could also adversely affect our revenues and, at the same time, increase our costs. For instance, lower household income and decreases in U.S. consumer discretionary spending, which is sensitive to general economic conditions, may affect cable television and other video service subscriptions, in particular with respect to digital programming packages, premium video programming packages and premium a la carte services on which our networks are typically carried. A reduction in spending may cause a decrease in subscribers to our networks, which could have a materially adverse impact on our business, financial condition, operating results, liquidity and prospects. Moreover, financial institution failures may cause us to incur increased expenses or make it more difficult to finance any future acquisitions, or engage in other financing activities.
We could be adversely affected by strikes or other union job actions.
We are directly or indirectly dependent upon highly specialized union members who are essential to the production of motion pictures and television content. A strike by, or a lockout of, one or more of the unions that provide personnel essential to the production of motion pictures or television content could delay or halt our ongoing production activities, or could cause a delay or interruption in our release of new motion pictures and television content. A strike may result in increased costs and decreased revenue, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, operating results, liquidity and prospects.
We face substantial competition in all aspects of our business.
We are an independent financier and producer of motion pictures. Most of the major U.S. studios are part of large diversified corporate groups with a variety of other operations that can provide both the means of distributing their products and stable sources of earnings that may allow them to better offset fluctuations in the financial performance of their motion picture and television operations.
We must successfully respond to technological changes and alternative forms of delivery or storage to remain competitive.
The entertainment industry continues to undergo significant developments as advances in technologies and new methods of product delivery and storage (including the emergence of alternative distribution platforms), and certain changes in consumer behavior driven by these developments emerge. New technologies affect the demand for our content, the manner in which our content is distributed to consumers, the sources and nature of competing content offerings and the time and manner in which consumers acquire and view our content. New technologies also may affect our ability to maintain or grow our business and may increase our capital expenditures. We and our distributors must adapt our businesses to shifting patterns of content consumption and changing consumer behavior and preferences through the adoption and exploitation of new technologies. If we cannot successfully exploit these and other emerging technologies, our appeal to targeted audiences might decline which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, operating results, liquidity and prospects.

Protecting and defending against intellectual property claims may have a material adverse effect on our business.
Our ability to compete depends, in part, upon successful protection of our intellectual property. We attempt to protect proprietary and intellectual property rights to our productions through available copyright and trademark laws and licensing and distribution arrangements with reputable international companies in specific territories and media for limited durations. Despite these precautions, existing copyright and trademark laws afford only limited practical protection in certain countries where we distribute our products. As a result, it may be possible for unauthorized third parties to copy and distribute our productions or certain portions or applications of our intended productions, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, operating results, liquidity and prospects. Litigation may also be necessary to enforce our intellectual property rights, to protect our trade secrets, or to determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others or to defend against claims of infringement or invalidity. Any such litigation, infringement or invalidity claims could result in substantial costs and the diversion of resources and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, operating results, liquidity and prospects. Our more successful and popular film or television products or franchises may experience higher levels of infringing activity, particularly around key release dates. Alleged infringers have claimed and may claim that their products are permitted under fair use or similar doctrines, that they are entitled to compensatory or punitive damages because our efforts to protect our intellectual property rights are illegal or improper, and that our key trademarks or other significant intellectual property are invalid. Such claims, even if meritless, may result in adverse publicity or costly litigation. We vigorously defend our copyrights and trademarks from infringing products and activity, which can result in litigation. We may receive unfavorable preliminary or interim rulings in the course of litigation, and there can be no assurance that a favorable final outcome will be obtained in all cases. Additionally, one of the risks of the film and television production business is the possibility that others may claim that our productions and production techniques misappropriate or infringe the intellectual property rights of third parties. From time to time we are subject to claims and legal proceedings regarding alleged infringement by us of the intellectual property rights (including patents) of third parties. Such claims, whether or not meritorious, may result in the expenditure of significant financial and managerial resources, require the development of alternative technology or business practices, injunctions against us, or payments for licenses or damages. These risks have been amplified by the increase in third parties whose sole or primary business is to assert such claims. Regardless of the validity or the success of the assertion of any such claims, we could incur significant costs and diversion of resources in enforcing our intellectual property rights or in defending against such claims, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, operating results, liquidity and prospects.
Our business involves risks of liability claims for content of material, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
As a distributor of media content, we may face potential liability for defamation, invasion of privacy, negligence, copyright or trademark infringement, and other claims based on the nature and content of the materials distributed. These types of claims have been brought, sometimes successfully, against producers and distributors of media content. Any imposition of liability that is not covered by insurance or is in excess of insurance coverage could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, operating results, liquidity and prospects.
Piracy of films, television programs, and music could adversely affect our business over time.
Piracy is extensive in many parts of the world and is made easier by the availability of digital copies of content and technological advances allowing conversion of films, television content, and music into digital formats. This trend facilitates the creation, transmission and sharing of high-quality unauthorized copies of motion pictures, television, and music content. The proliferation of unauthorized copies of these products has had and will continue to have an adverse effect on our business, because these products reduce the revenue we receive from our products. To contain this problem, we may have to implement elaborate and costly security and anti-piracy measures, which could result in significant expenses and losses of revenue. We cannot assure you that even the highest levels of security and anti-piracy measures will prevent piracy.
Service disruptions or failures of the Company’s or our vendors’ information systems and networks as a result of computer viruses, misappropriation of data or other bad acts, natural disasters, extreme weather, accidental releases of information or other similar events, may disrupt our businesses, damage our reputation or have a negative impact on our results of operations.
Shutdowns or service disruptions of our information systems or networks or to vendors that provide information systems, networks or other services to us pose increasing risks. Such disruptions may be caused by third-party hacking of computers and systems; dissemination of computer viruses, worms and other destructive or disruptive software; denial of service attacks and other bad acts, as well as power outages, natural disasters, extreme weather, terrorist attacks, pandemics (such as the COVID-19 global pandemic), or other similar events. Shutdowns or disruption from such events could have an adverse impact on us and our customers, including degradation or disruption of service, loss of data, release or threatened release of data publicly, misuse or threatened misuse of data, and damage to equipment and data. System redundancy may be ineffective or inadequate, and our disaster recovery planning may not be sufficient to cover everything that could happen. Significant events could result in a disruption of our operations, reduced revenues, the loss of or damage to the integrity of data used by management to make decisions and operate our business, damage to our reputation or brands or a loss of customers. We may not have adequate insurance coverage to compensate it for any losses associated with such events.

| Table of Contents |
We are also subject to risks caused by the misappropriation, misuse, falsification or intentional or accidental release or loss of data maintained in our information systems and networks or of our vendors, including sensitive or confidential personnel, customer or vendor data, business information or other sensitive or confidential information (including our content). We maintain this information and data either on our own systems or on those of third party vendors. While we take measures to protect against unauthorized intrusion into this information, we, or the vendors we use, could experience an unauthorized intrusion. The number and sophistication of attempted and successful information security breaches have increased in recent years and, as a result, the risks associated with such an event continue to increase. If a material breach of our information systems or those of our vendors occurs, the market perception of the effectiveness of our information security measures could be harmed, we could lose customers, our revenues could be adversely affected and our reputation, brands and credibility could be damaged. Current and potential customers may become unwilling to provide the information to us necessary for them to remain or become customers. We also may be required to notify regulators about any actual or perceived data breach (including the EU Lead Data Protection Authority) as well as the individuals who are affected by the incident within strict time periods. In addition, if a material breach of our information systems occurs, we could be required to expend significant amounts of money and other resources to review data and systems to determine the extent of any breach, repair or replace information systems or networks or to comply with notification requirements. We could be subject to actions by regulatory authorities and claims asserted in private litigation in the event of a breach of our information systems or our vendors.
Our activities are subject to a variety of laws and regulations which may adversely impact our operations or, if violated, could subject us to an increased risk of litigation and regulatory actions.
Privacy. The global legal and regulatory environment governing our collection, use, storage, and transfer of personal information is complex, and continually evolving. In the ordinary course of our business, we collect and use the personal information of subscribers and potential subscribers through our websites and applications and those of third parties. Among other purposes, we use this information to engage with users, promote our programming, and monitor the use of our digital platforms. Our collection and use of personal information is governed by a number of complicated domestic and international data privacy and security laws and regulations, including but not limited to Regulation (EU) 2016/679, General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) and the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”). Complying with these and any future regulations, or related contractual or other obligations, may increase our operating costs and adversely impact our ability to market products and service customers, including through our STARZ direct-to-consumer business (which may be subject to additional consumer legal claims and increased regulation). Any actual or perceived failure to comply with these or any future regulations, or related contractual or other obligations, could disrupt our business, inhibit our ability to retain existing customers or attract new customers, lead to investigations, claims, and proceedings by governmental entities and private parties, damages for breach of contract, and other significant costs, fines, penalties, or other liabilities, as well as harm to our reputation and market position.
Internet and Other Media Operator Regulations. The adoption or modification of laws or regulations relating to the internet or other areas of our business could limit or otherwise adversely affect the manner in which we currently conduct our business. We anticipate that several jurisdictions may, over time, attempt to impose additional financial and regulatory obligations on us. If we are required to comply with new regulations or legislation or new interpretations of existing regulations or legislation, this compliance could cause us to incur additional expenses or alter our business model.
Changes in laws or regulations that adversely affect the growth, popularity or use of the internet, including laws impacting net neutrality, could decrease the demand for our service and increase our cost of doing business. Given uncertainty around these rules, coupled with potentially significant political and economic power of local network operators, we could experience discriminatory or anti-competitive practices that could impede our growth, cause us to incur additional expense or otherwise negatively affect our business.
This offering is being conducted by our officers and directors without the benefit of an underwriter, who could have confirmed the accuracy of the disclosures in our prospectus.
| 14 |
| Table of Contents |
We have self-underwritten our offering on a “best efforts” basis, which means: No underwriter has engaged in any due diligence activities to confirm the accuracy of the disclosure in the prospectus or to provide input as to the offering price; our officers and directors will attempt to sell the shares and there can be no assurance that all of the shares offered under the prospectus will be sold or that the proceeds raised from the offering, if any, will be sufficient to cover the costs of the offering; and there is no assurance that we can raise the intended offering amount.
Because we have not constructed our production facility, our business may not come to fruition.
We have not yet constructed a production facility to produce our projects. We do not know the exact cost of executing the development of a production facility. In the case of a higher than expected cost of execution, we will not be able to execute our business plan. If we are unable to execute the business plan, we will have to cease our operations, resulting in the complete loss of your investment. We do not have any plans to build a production facility.
If our Company is dissolved, it is unlikely that there will be sufficient assets remaining to distribute to our shareholders.
In the event of the dissolution of our company, the proceeds realized from the liquidation of our assets, if any, will be used primarily to pay the claims of our creditors, if any, before there can be any distribution to the shareholders. In that case, the ability of purchasers of the offered shares to recover all or any portion of the purchase price for the offered shares will depend on the amount of funds realized and the claims to be satisfied there from.
If we are unable to gain any significant market acceptance for our service, or establish a significant market presence, we may be unable to generate sufficient revenue to continue our business.
Our growth strategy is substantially dependent upon our ability to successfully market our content and our movie studio to prospective screenwriters, producers and viewers. However, our planned business model may not achieve significant acceptance. Such acceptance, if achieved, may not be sustained for any significant period of time. Failure of our content and studio to achieve or sustain market acceptance could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial conditions and the results of our operations.
Because the motion picture and music industries are highly speculative and inherently risky, our motion pictures and musical productions may not be commercially successful, in which case we will not be able to recover our costs or realize anticipated profits.
The motion picture and music industries are highly speculative and inherently risky. We cannot assure you that any motion picture or musical productions we release, distribute, license, acquire or produce will be successful since the revenues derived from the production and distribution of a motion picture or music production depend primarily upon its acceptance by the public, which cannot be predicted. The revenues derived also may not necessarily correlate to the production or distribution costs incurred. A motion picture's commercial success also depends upon the quality and acceptance of other competing films released into the marketplace at or near the same time, the availability of alternative forms of entertainment and leisure time activities, general economic conditions, and other tangible and intangible factors, all of which can change and cannot be predicted with certainty. Similarly, a musical production’s commercial success also depends upon the quality and acceptance of other music projects released into the marketplace at or near the same time, the availability of alternative forms of entertainment and leisure time activities, general economic conditions, and other tangible and intangible factors, all of which can change and cannot be predicted with certainty. Therefore, there is a substantial risk that some or all the motion pictures and musical productions or other programs that we release, distribute, license, acquire or produce will not be commercially successful, resulting in costs not being recovered or anticipated profits not being realized. Additionally, forecasting film and music production revenue and associated gross profits from our films and music prior to release is extremely difficult and may result in significant write-offs.
There are significant risks associated with the motion picture industry.
The completion and commercial success of a motion picture is extremely unpredictable, and the motion picture industry involves a substantial degree of risk. Each motion picture is an individual artistic work, and its commercial success is primarily determined by audience reaction, which is unpredictable. The completion and commercial success of a motion picture also depends upon other factors, such as:
| 15 |
| Table of Contents |
|
| • | talent and crew availability, |
|
| • | financing requirements, |
|
| • | distribution strategy, including the time of the year and the number of screens on which it is shown, |
|
| • | the number, quality and acceptance of other competing films released into the marketplace at or near the same time, |
|
| • | critical reviews, |
|
| • | the availability of alternative forms of entertainment and leisure time activities, |
|
| • | piracy and unauthorized recording, transmission and distribution of motion pictures, |
|
| • | general socioeconomic conditions and political events, |
|
| • | weather conditions, and |
|
| • | other tangible and intangible factors. |
All of these factors can change and cannot be predicted with certainty. In addition, motion picture attendance is seasonal, with the greatest attendance typically occurring during the summer and holidays. The release of a film during a period of relatively low theater attendance is likely to affect the film’s box office receipts adversely.
Domestic theatrical distribution is very competitive and dominated by major studio distributors.
Domestic theatrical distribution is very competitive. A substantial majority of the motion picture screens in the United States typically are committed at any one time to between 10 and 15 films distributed nationally by major studio distributors that can command greater access to available screens. Although some theaters specialize in exhibiting independent motion pictures and art-house films, there is intense competition for screen availability for these films as well. The number of motion pictures released theatrically in the United States also has increased in recent years, which has increased competition for exhibition outlets and audiences.
Piracy of motion pictures, musical productions, artwork, and graphic motion art including digital and Internet piracy, may decrease revenue received from the exploitation of our films, music, and digital content production.
Motion picture, musical, and digital content piracy is extensive in many parts of the world and is made easier by technological advances and the conversion of motion pictures into digital formats, which facilitates the creation, transmission and sharing of high quality unauthorized copies of motion pictures in theatrical release, on videotapes and DVDs, from pay-per-view through set top boxes and other devices and through unlicensed broadcasts on free TV and the Internet. The proliferation of unauthorized copies and piracy of these products has an adverse effect on our business because these products reduce the revenue we receive from our legitimate products. Unauthorized copying and piracy are prevalent in territories outside of the U.S., Canada, and Western Europe and in countries where we may have difficulty enforcing our intellectual property rights. The U.S. government has publicly considered implementing trade sanctions against specific countries that, in its opinion, do not make appropriate efforts to prevent copyright infringements of U.S. produced motion pictures. There can be no assurance, however, that voluntary industry embargoes or U.S. government trade sanctions will be enacted or, if enacted, effective. If enacted, such actions could impact the amount of revenue that we realize from the international exploitation of motion pictures, music, and digital content production depending upon the countries subject to such action and the duration and effectiveness of such action. If embargoes or sanctions are not enacted or if other measures are not taken, we may lose an indeterminate amount of additional revenue because of motion picture, music, and digital content piracy.

We cannot predict the effect that rapid technological change or alternative forms of entertainment may have on us or on the motion picture, music, or digital content production industry.
The entertainment industry in general, and the motion picture industry in particular, continue to undergo significant changes, primarily due to technological developments, including developments in DVD formats, such as HI-DEF and Blue Ray, digital delivery including blockchain technologies. Due to rapid growth of technology and shifting consumer tastes, we cannot accurately predict the overall effect that technological growth or availability of alternative forms of entertainment may have on the potential revenue from and profitability of our film, music, and digital content. In addition, certain outlets for the distribution of motion pictures, music, and digital content may not obtain the public acceptance that is or was previously predicted. For example, while we may benefit from the rapid growth in the DVD market, we cannot be assured that such growth will continue, or that other developing distribution channels, such as video-on-demand and blockchain distribution will be accepted by the public or that, if they are accepted by the public, we will be successful in exploiting such channels. Moreover, to the extent that other distribution channels gain popular acceptance, it is possible that demand for existing delivery channels, such as DVDs, will decrease. If we are unable to exploit new delivery channels to the same extent that we have exploited existing channels, our business, results of operations or financial condition would be materially adversely affected.
Since we may require additional funds before we can complete our film, music, and digital content our expenses may be increased, and it may take us longer to generate revenues. We have no way to predict when we will complete our film, music, or digital content production.
Since we are not generating revenues, we may need to raise additional capital through either equity or debt financings to continue operations and complete our film, music, and digital content. We have no identifiable source of such funds and cannot guarantee that any source will develop soon. General overhead and administrative costs will be incurred by us during this period, which means any delay would also increase our expenses and reduce your potential return. If we do not have an additional source of operating capital and we are unable to complete the postproduction and marketing of our film, music, and digital content our ability to continue our business will be compromised and we may be forced to either significantly curtail our operations or shut down altogether.
The distribution of our film could be affected by rating restrictions that would limit its marketability and accessibility to wider audiences, thus reducing our ability to generate revenues from its distribution.
Because our film contains mature themes, it may be subject to ratings restrictions and censorship, which would reduce our ability to commercialize our film. Certain agreements we plan to obtain, including agreements with distribution companies, may be contingent upon our film ultimately receiving a rating classification from the Motion Picture Association of America, or MPAA, that is no more restrictive than PG.
We intend to produce our film in such a manner that it will receive a PG rating. However, our film contains mature themes, and it is difficult to predict how the MPAA will classify our film. If our film is unable to obtain a rating less restrictive than PG-13, then marketing and advertising support from the distributor may be reduced, resulting in fewer distribution venues and thus a smaller audience.
In addition, censors in certain foreign jurisdictions might find elements of our film to be objectionable. We may be forced to make revisions before exhibiting Our film in these jurisdictions, further adding to our expenses. The release of Our film in certain jurisdictions may be denied regardless of revisions. These occurrences would reduce our international revenues.
We face competition for a finite amount of domestic and foreign markets from existing independent feature film production companies. Almost all of our competitors have greater financial and other resources than we have.
The motion picture industry is intensely competitive. Competition comes from companies within the same business and companies in other entertainment media that create alternative forms of leisure entertainment. We will be competing with the major film studios that dominate the motion picture industry. Some of these companies include: News Corporation's Twentieth Century Fox; AOL Time Warner's Warner Bros. including Turner, New Line Cinema and Castle Rock Entertainment; Viacom's Paramount Pictures; Vivendi Universal's Universal Studios; Sony Corp.'s Sony Pictures including Columbia and TriStar; Walt Disney Company's Buena Vista, Touchstone and Miramax and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer including MGM Pictures, UA Pictures, Orion and Goldwyn. We will also compete with numerous independent motion picture production companies, television networks, and pay television systems, for the acquisition of literary properties, the services of performing artists, directors, producers, and other creative and technical personnel, and production financing. Nearly all of the companies we will compete with are organizations of substantially larger size and capacity, with far greater financial and personnel resources and longer operating histories, and may be better able to acquire properties, personnel and financing, and enter into more favorable distribution agreements. In addition, our film will compete for audience acceptance with motion pictures produced and distributed by other companies. Our success is dependent on public taste, which is both unpredictable and susceptible to rapid change.
| 17 |
| Table of Contents |
In order to be competitive, we must create a motion picture of aesthetic and narrative quality comparable to the films of the major film studios that appeals to a wide range of public taste both in the United States and abroad. Also, we plan on exploiting similar methods of distribution available to motion pictures. If we are unable to effectively compete with either the smaller or larger competition, our ability to earn revenue will be compromised and we may have to cease doing business. As a result, investors in us could lose their entire investment.
The Company’s competitors are rapidly changing and may be well capitalized and financially stronger. Our competitors could reproduce the company’s business model without significant barriers to entry.
If consumers spend less on entertainment-related goods and services, we may have difficulty generating revenues and becoming profitable.
Our business opportunities are directly dependent upon the level of consumer spending on entertainment products and other related products, a discretionary spending item. In addition, our success depends upon a number of factors relating to consumer spending, including future economic conditions affecting disposable consumer income such as employment, business conditions, interest rates, and tax rates. Consumer spending in general or spending in the entertainment market in particular may decline, which would likely have a direct effect on our ability to generate revenues.
Our success is primarily dependent on audience acceptance of our film, music, and digital content which is extremely difficult to predict and therefore inherently risky.
We cannot predict the economic success of our motion pictures, music, and digital content because the revenue derived from the distribution of our motion picture, music, and/or digital content (which does not necessarily bear any correlation to the production or distribution costs incurred) depends primarily upon its acceptance by the public, which cannot be accurately predicted. The economic success of a motion picture, music, or digital content also depends upon the public’s acceptance of competing films, music, and digital content and the availability of alternative forms of entertainment and leisure time activities, general economic conditions, and other tangible and intangible factors, all of which can change and cannot be predicted with certainty.
In general, the economic success of a motion picture, music, and digital content production is dependent on its domestic theatrical performance and or licensing or direct purchase which is a key factor in predicting revenue from other distribution channels and is largely determined by our ability to produce content and develop stories and characters, music, and artwork that appeal to a broad audience and the effective marketing of the motion picture or musical score. If we are unable to accurately judge audience acceptance of our content or to have the production effectively marketed, the commercial success of the production will be in doubt, which could result in costs not being recouped or anticipated profits not being realized. Moreover, we cannot assure you that our productions will generate enough revenue to offset its distribution and marketing costs, in which case we would not receive any gross receipts for such film sales, music sales, music licensing, or digital content production sales.
The costs of producing and marketing feature films, music, and digital content have steadily increased and may increase in the future, which may make it more difficult for productions to generate a profit or compete against other films, music, or artwork. The production and marketing of theatrical feature films requires substantial capital and the costs of producing and marketing feature films have increased in recent years. Similarly, the cost to market musical releases and digital content have increased in recent years. These costs may continue to increase in the future, which may make it more difficult for our productions to generate a profit or compete in the entertainment industry. Historically, production costs and marketing costs have risen at a rate faster than increases in either domestic admissions to movie theaters or admission ticket prices. A continuation of this trend would leave us more dependent on other media, such as home video, television, international markets, and new internet media for revenue.

We compete for audiences based on a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control.
Despite a general increase in movie theater attendance, the number of animated and live-action feature films released by competitors, particularly the major U.S. motion picture studios, may create an oversupply of product in the market, and may make it more difficult for our film to succeed. Oversupply of such products may become most pronounced during peak release times, such as school holidays, national holidays and the summer release season, when theater attendance has traditionally been highest. Although we may seek to release our film during peak release times, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to release all of our films during those times and, therefore, may miss potentially higher gross box-office receipts. In addition, a substantial majority of the motion picture screens in the U.S. typically are committed at any one time to only 10 to 15 films distributed nationally by major studio distributors. If our competitors were to increase the number of films available for distribution and the number of exhibition screens remained static, it could be more difficult for us to release our film during an optimal release period.
Our film, music, and digital content production budgets may increase, and film, music, and content production spending may exceed our budget.
Our film, music, and digital content budgets may continue to increase due to factors including, but not limited to, (1) escalation in compensation rates of people required to work on our current projects, (2) number of personnel required to work on our current projects, (3) equipment needs, (4) the enhancement of existing, or the development of new, proprietary technology and (5) the expansion of our facilities to accommodate the growth of the studio. Due to production exigencies, which are often difficult to predict, it is common for production spending to exceed production budgets, and our current project may not be completed within the budgeted amounts.
Because this is a blind pool offering, you will not have the opportunity to evaluate our investments before we make them, which makes your investment more speculative.
Because we have not yet acquired or identified any new productions that we may make, other than the film “The Man in the White Van”, we are not able to provide you with any information to assist you in evaluating the merits of any specific productions that we may make, except for productions that may be described in supplements to this offering circular. We will seek to use all the offering proceeds available for a production, after the payment of fees and expenses, in entertainment equity, loans, debt securities and other entertainment -related assets. However, because you will be unable to evaluate the economic merit of assets before we produce them, you will have to rely entirely on the ability of our management to select suitable and successful production opportunities. These factors increase the risk that your investment may not generate returns comparable to our competitors.
We may change our targeted investments and investment guidelines without shareholder consent.
Our management may change our targeted production guidelines at any time without the consent of our shareholders, which could result in our making productions that are different from, and riskier than, the productions described in this offering circular. A change in our targeted productions or cost guidelines may increase our exposure to interest rate risk, default risk and entertainment market fluctuations, all of which could adversely affect the value of our common shares.
If we do not successfully obtain a completion bond on the entertainment properties
We expect the entertainment production budgets to be significantly smaller than that of a typical entertainment industry project, with that said our CEO may or may not obtain a completion bond for the production. If the Company does not obtain a completion bond there is a risk that the entertainment production may not be completed. This could involve considerable time and expense and may significantly delay or prevent the achievement of our business objectives and adversely impact the ability of our CEO to successfully manage our operations and our portfolio production projects.
Our entertainment property may not succeed if it receives unfavorable reviews.
The financial success of our entertainment property, in large measure, depends on the reaction of the public, which is often influenced by professional reviewers or critics for newspapers, television and other media. It is impossible to judge in advance what the reaction of these reviewers and critics will be to the entertainment property. To the extent that our entertainment property receives unfavorable reviews from these reviewers and critics, its chances of success may be substantially diminished.

Our entertainment property/film/music/digital content will be subject to the risks associated with its distribution.
The success of any distribution activities will depend on a number of factors over which our management will have little or no control. Even if our entertainment property is sold in all territories (both domestic and foreign), there can still be no assurance that our entertainment property will succeed on an economic level. Distribution agreements give a distributor significant flexibility in determining how the entertainment property will be exhibited. No assurance can be given that a distributor will not limit the entertainment property’s run, limit the territories in which the entertainment property is exhibited or otherwise fail to actively promote the entertainment property to the public. Any such action by the distributor could have a material adverse effect on the economic success of the entertainment property and revenues received.
We may not be able to attract distributors, which could significantly harm the Company’s business.
Currently we do not have distribution for our entertainment property, but it is our plan to arrange for said distribution. Yet no assurance can be given that an agreement with any distributor will ever be entered into or, if entered into, it will be on terms advantageous for us. If we are unable to attract distributors to distribute our entertainment property we may distribute our entertainment properties through other alternative means of distribution. This may have a material adverse effect on the economic success of the entertainment property and revenues received.
Our entertainment property may infringe the intellectual property rights of others, and resulting claims against the Company could be costly and require the Company to enter into disadvantageous license or royalty agreements.
Although we expect all entertainment properties to be an original work, third parties may claim that the entertainment property infringes on their intellectual property rights. Any claims relating to the infringement of third-party proprietary rights, even if not successful or meritorious, could be time-consuming, result in costly litigation, divert resources and management’s attention, cause production delays or require the us to enter into royalty or license agreements. Such royalty or licensing agreements, if required, may not be available on terms acceptable to us, if at all. In the event of a successful claim of infringement against us and our failure or inability to license the infringed rights, our business, operating results and financial condition would be materially and adversely affected. Even if a claim of infringement against us is unsuccessful, legal fees incurred in defending the infringement claim likely would cause material harm to us and our financial condition, and reduce the amount of net proceeds and cash available for distribution to investors.
The price of our common stock may continue to be volatile.
The trading price of our common stock has been and is likely to remain highly volatile and could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to various factors, some of which are beyond our control or unrelated to our operating performance. In addition to the factors discussed in this “Risk Factors” section and elsewhere, these factors include: the operating performance of similar companies; the overall performance of the equity markets; the announcements by us or our competitors of acquisitions, business plans, or commercial relationships; threatened or actual litigation; changes in laws or regulations relating to the our business; any major change in our board of directors or management; publication of research reports or news stories about us, our competitors, or our industry or positive or negative recommendations or withdrawal of research coverage by securities analysts; large volumes of sales of our shares of common stock by existing stockholders; and general political and economic conditions.
In addition, the stock market in general, and the market for developmental related companies in particular, has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of those companies’ securities. This litigation, if instituted against us, could result in very substantial costs; divert our management’s attention and resources; and harm our business, operating results, and financial condition.

There are doubts about our ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company is a development stage enterprise and has not commenced planned principal operations. The Company has no revenue for the year ended December 31, 2021. This factor raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
There can be no assurance that sufficient funds required during the next year or thereafter will be generated from operations or that funds will be available from external sources, such as debt or equity financings or other potential sources. The lack of additional capital resulting from the inability to generate cash flow from operations, or to raise capital from external sources would force the Company to substantially curtail or cease operations and would, therefore, have a material adverse effect on its business. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that any such required funds, if available, will be available on attractive terms or that they will not have a significant dilutive effect on the Company’s existing stockholders.
The Company intends to overcome the circumstances that impact its ability to remain a going concern through a combination of the commencement of revenues, with interim cash flow deficiencies being addressed through additional equity and debt financing. The Company anticipates raising additional funds through public or private financing, strategic relationships or other arrangements in the near future to support its business operations; however, the Company may not have commitments from third parties for a sufficient amount of additional capital. The Company cannot be certain that any such financing will be available on acceptable terms, or at all, and its failure to raise capital when needed could limit its ability to continue its operations. The Company’s ability to obtain additional funding will determine its ability to continue as a going concern. Failure to secure additional financing in a timely manner and on favorable terms would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial performance, results of operations and stock price and require it to curtail or cease operations, sell off its assets, seek protection from its creditors through bankruptcy proceedings, or otherwise. Furthermore, additional equity financing may be dilutive to the holders of the Company’s common stock, and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants, and strategic relationships, if necessary to raise additional funds, and may require that the Company relinquish valuable rights.
Risks Related to Our Investments
Entertainment and tax credit loans for our productions could be subject to delinquency, foreclosure and loss, which could result in losses to us.
The entertainment and tax credit loans are secured by state tax credit rebates and are subject to risks of delinquency and foreclosure. The ability of a borrower to repay a loan secured by state tax rebate or credit typically is dependent primarily upon the successful operation of such entertainment production rather than upon the existence of independent income or assets of the borrower. If the state tax rebates or credit is reduced or discontinued, the borrower’s ability to repay the loan may be impaired and can be affected by, among other things: changes in laws that increase production expenses or limit tax reimbursement that may be awarded, changes in national, regional or local economic conditions and/or specific entertainment industry segments, declines in regional or local real estate values, and other operating expenses, changes in governmental rules, regulations and fiscal policies, including environmental legislation, natural disasters, terrorism, social unrest and civil disturbances.
In the event of any default under an entertainment and tax credit loan held directly by us, we will bear a risk of loss of principal to the extent of any deficiency between the value of the collateral and the principal and accrued interest of the loan, which could have a material adverse effect on our cash flow from operations. We expect that many of the entertainment and tax credit loans that we originate will be fully or substantially non-recourse. In the event of a default by a borrower on a non- recourse loan, we will only have recourse to the underlying asset (including any escrowed funds and reserves) collateralizing the loan. If a borrower defaults on one of our entertainment and tax credit loans and the underlying asset collateralizing the entertainment and tax credit loan is insufficient to satisfy the outstanding balance of the entertainment and tax credit loan, we may suffer a loss of principal or interest. In addition, even if we have recourse to a borrower’s assets, we may not have full recourse to such assets in the event of a borrower bankruptcy.

Our majority-owned subsidiaries will be subject to the specific risks relating to the particular subsidiary.
A significant portion of our portfolio may consist of majority-owned subsidiaries owning entertainment assets. Such investments may be subordinate to debt financing. We may have rights to receive a preferred economic return with respect to these investments. These investments will involve special risks relating to the particular subsidiary, including the financial condition and business outlook of the subsidiary. To the extent these investments are subordinate to debt financing, they will also be subject to risks of (i) limited liquidity in the secondary trading market, (ii) substantial market price volatility resulting from changes in prevailing interest rates, (iii) subordination to the prior claims of banks and other senior lenders to the issuer, (iv) the operation of mandatory sinking fund or call or redemption provisions during periods of declining interest rates that could cause the subsidiary to reinvest any redemption proceeds in lower yielding assets, (v) the possibility that earnings of the subsidiary may be insufficient to meet any distribution obligations and (vi) the declining creditworthiness and potential for insolvency of the subsidiary during periods of rising interest rates and economic downturn. As a result, we may not recover some or all of our capital, which could result in losses.

Declines in the market values of our assets may adversely affect periodic reported results of operations and credit availability, which may reduce earnings and, in turn, cash available for distribution to our shareholders.
Some of our assets may be classified for accounting purposes as “available -for sale.” These assets are carried at estimated fair value and temporary changes in the market values of those assets will be directly charged or credited to shareholders’ equity without impacting net income on the income statement. Moreover, if we determine that a decline in the estimated fair value of an available- for sale asset falls below its amortized value and is not temporary, we will recognize a loss on that asset on the income statement, which will reduce our earnings in the period recognized.
A decline in the market value of our assets may adversely affect us particularly in instances where we have borrowed money based on the market value of those assets. If the market value of those assets’ declines, the lender may require us to post additional collateral to support the loan. If we were unable to post the additional collateral, we may have to sell assets at a time when we might not otherwise choose to do so. A reduction in credit available may reduce our earnings and, in turn, cash available for distribution to shareholders.
Further, credit facility providers may require us to maintain a certain amount of cash reserves or to set aside unlevered assets sufficient to maintain a specified liquidity position, which would allow us to satisfy our collateral obligations. As a result, we may not be able to leverage our assets as fully as we would choose, which could reduce our return on equity. If we are unable to meet these contractual obligations, our financial condition could deteriorate rapidly.
Market values of our assets i.e., productions may decline for a number of reasons, such as changes in prevailing market rates, increases in defaults, increases in voluntary prepayments for those assets that we have that are subject to prepayment risk, widening of credit spreads and downgrades of ratings of the assets by ratings agencies.
Some of our production assets will be carried at estimated fair value as determined by us and, as a result, there may be uncertainty as to the value of these assets.
Some of our production assets may be in the form of complete or in-progress productions that are recorded at fair value but that have limited liquidity or are not publicly traded. The fair value of production assets that have limited liquidity or are not publicly traded may not be readily determinable. We estimate the fair value of these production assets on a quarterly basis. Because such valuations are inherently uncertain, may fluctuate over short periods of time and may be based on numerous estimates, our determinations of fair value may differ materially from the values that would have been used if a ready market for these securities existed. The value of our common shares could be adversely affected if our determinations regarding the fair value of these production assets are materially higher than the values that we realize upon their disposal.

Competition with third parties in acquiring and originating film and media productions may reduce our profitability and the return on your investment.
We have significant competition with respect to our acquisition and origination of production assets with many other companies, other production companies, film distributors, video and film and music aggregators many of may have greater resources than us. We may not be able to compete successfully for film and music production. In addition, the number of entities and the amount of funds competing for suitable film, music, and new media projects may increase. If we pay higher prices for productions, our returns will be lower, and the value of our assets may not increase or may decrease significantly below the amount we paid for the production. If such events occur, you may experience a lower return on your investment.
If we overestimate the value or income -producing ability or incorrectly price the risks of our productions, we may experience losses.
Analysis of the value or income- producing ability of an entertainment property is highly subjective and may be subject to error. Our management will value our potential film, music, and new media productions based on yields and risks, considering estimated future losses on the entertainment and tax credit loans and production cost, and the estimated impact of these losses on expected future cash flows and returns. If we underestimate the risks relative to the price we pay for a particular production, we may experience losses with respect to such production.
Risks Relating to Our Financial Condition
Our financials 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 financials audited by a certified Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”). As such, our accountant does not have a third party reviewing the accounting. Our accountant may also not be up to date with all publications and releases put out by the PCAOB regarding accounting standards and treatments. This could mean that our unaudited financials may not properly reflect up to date standards and treatments resulting misstated financials statements.
Changes in the Economy Could Have a Detrimental Impact on the Company
Changes in the general economic climate could have a detrimental impact on consumer expenditure and therefore on the Company’s revenue. It is possible that recessionary pressures and other economic factors (such as declining incomes, future potential rising interest rates, higher unemployment and tax increases) may adversely affect customers’ confidence and willingness to spend. Any of such events or occurrences could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial results and on your investment.
Our management has a limited experience operating a company and is subject to the risks commonly encountered by early-stage companies.
Although management of Universal Systems, Inc. has experience in operating small companies, current management has not had to manage expansion of a company. Many investors may treat us as an early-stage company. In addition, management has not overseen a company with large growth. Because we have a limited operating history, our operating prospects should be considered in light of the risks and uncertainties frequently encountered by early-stage companies in rapidly evolving markets. These risks include:
|
| · | risks that we may not have sufficient capital to achieve our growth strategy; |
|
| · | risks that we may not develop our product and service offerings in a manner that enables us to be profitable and meet our customers’ requirements; |
|
| · | risks that our growth strategy may not be successful; and |
|
| · | risks that fluctuations in our operating results will be significant relative to our revenues. |
| 24 |
| Table of Contents |
These risks are described in more detail below. Our future growth will depend substantially on our ability to address these and the other risks described in this section. If we do not successfully address these risks, our business could be significantly harmed.
We have limited operational history in the entertainment industry, making it difficult to accurately predict and forecast business operations.
As we have limited operations in our business and have yet to generate revenue, it is extremely difficult to make accurate predictions and forecasts on our finances. This is compounded by the fact that we operate in the entertainment industry, which is a rapidly transforming industry. There is no guarantee that our products or services will remain attractive to potential and current users as this industry undergo rapid change, or that potential customers will utilize our services.
As a growing company, we have yet to achieve a profit and may not achieve a profit in the near future, if at all.
We have not yet produced a net profit and may not in the near future, if at all. While we expect our revenue to grow, we have not achieved profitability and cannot be certain that we will be able to sustain our current growth rate or realize sufficient revenue to achieve profitability. Our ability to continue as an ongoing concern may be dependent upon raising capital from financing transactions, increasing revenue throughout the year and keeping operating expenses below our revenue levels in order to achieve positive cash flows, none of which can be assured.
We will require additional capital to support business growth, and this capital might not be available on acceptable terms, if at all.
We intend to continue to develop and produce new projects to support our business growth and may require additional funds to respond to business challenges, including improve our operating infrastructure or acquire complementary businesses and technologies. Accordingly, we may need to engage in continued equity or debt financings to secure additional funds. If we raise additional funds through future issuances of equity or convertible debt securities, our existing stockholders could suffer significant dilution, and any new equity securities we issue could have rights, preferences, and privileges superior to those of our common stock. Any debt financing, we secure in the future could involve restrictive covenants relating to our capital raising activities and other financial and operational matters, which may make it more difficult for us to obtain additional capital and to pursue business opportunities, including potential acquisitions. We may not be able to obtain additional financing on terms favorable to us, if at all. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing or financing on terms satisfactory to us when we require it, our ability to continue to support our business growth and to respond to business challenges could be impaired, and our business may be harmed.
We are highly dependent on the services of our key executive, the loss of whom could materially harm our business and our strategic direction. If we lose key management or significant personnel, cannot recruit qualified employees, directors, officers, or other personnel or experience increases in our compensation costs, our business may materially suffer.
We are highly dependent on our management, specifically our CEO, Andrew Lane. We have an Employment Agreement in place with Mr. Lane. If we lose key employees, our business may suffer. Furthermore, our future success will also depend in part on the continued service of our management personnel and our ability to identify, hire, and retain additional key personnel. We do not carry “key-man” life insurance on the lives of any of our executives, employees or advisors. We experience intense competition for qualified personnel and may be unable to attract and retain the personnel necessary for the development of our business. Because of this competition, our compensation costs may increase significantly.
Our key employee, Mr. Andrew Lane has limited experience in the entertainment industry.
Our Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Lane, has limited experience in the entertainment industry. For this reason, he may have difficulty in establishing and running an entertainment production business, including acquiring projects, controlling expenses, and generating revenues. He may have difficulty in hiring and supervising our employees. While the Company plans to hire trained staff and consultants who will be able to oversee the financing and production of motion pictures, there is no assurance that Mr. Lane will be able to manage them.

We may be unable to manage growth, which may impact our potential profitability.
Successful implementation of our business strategy requires us to manage our growth. Growth could place an increasing strain on our management and financial resources. To manage growth effectively, we will need to:
|
| · | Establish definitive business strategies, goals and objectives; |
|
| · | Maintain a system of management controls; and |
|
| · | Attract and retain qualified personnel, as well as develop, train, and manage management-level and other employees. |
If we fail to manage our growth effectively, our business, financial condition, or operating results could be materially harmed, and our stock price may decline.
We operate in a highly competitive environment, and if we are unable to compete with our competitors, our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and prospects could be materially adversely affected.
We operate in a highly competitive environment. Our competition includes all other companies that are in the business of producing motion pictures. A highly competitive environment could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and prospects.
We may not be able to compete successfully with other established companies offering the same or similar services and, as a result, we may not achieve our projected revenue and user targets.
If we are unable to compete successfully with other businesses in our existing markets, we may not achieve our projected revenue and/or customer targets. We compete with both start-up and established movie studios. Compared to our business, some of our competitors may have greater financial and other resources, have been in business longer, have greater name recognition and be better established in the entertainment industry.
Our lack of adequate D&O 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 additional litigation, including potential class action and stockholder 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 the Company could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and liquidity. Furthermore, 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.
Risks Relating to our Common Stock and Offering
The Common Stock is thinly traded, so you may be unable to sell at or near ask prices or at all if you need to sell your shares to raise money or otherwise desire to liquidate your shares.
The Common Stock has historically been sporadically traded on the OTC Pink Sheets, meaning that the number of persons interested in purchasing our shares at, or near ask prices at any given time, may be relatively small or non-existent. This situation is attributable to a number of factors, including the fact that we are a small company which is relatively unknown to stock analysts, stock brokers, institutional investors and others in the investment community that generate or influence sales volume, and that even if we came to the attention of such persons, they tend to be risk-averse and would be reluctant to follow an unproven company such as ours or purchase or recommend the purchase of our shares until such time as we became more seasoned and viable. As a consequence, there may be periods of several days or more when trading activity in our shares is minimal or non-existent, as compared to a seasoned issuer, which has a large and steady volume of trading activity that will generally support continuous sales without an adverse effect on share price. We cannot give you any assurance that a broader or more active public trading market for our common shares will develop or be sustained, or that current trading levels will be sustained.
| 26 |
| Table of Contents |
The market price for the common stock is particularly volatile given our status as a relatively unknown company with a small and thinly traded public float, limited operating history, and lack of revenue, which could lead to wide fluctuations in our share price. The price at which you purchase our shares may not be indicative of the price that will prevail in the trading market. You may be unable to sell your common shares at or above your purchase price, which may result in substantial losses to you.
The market for our shares of common stock is characterized by significant price volatility when compared to seasoned issuers, and we expect that our share price will continue to be more volatile than a seasoned issuer for the indefinite future. The volatility in our share price is attributable to a number of factors. First, as noted above, our shares are sporadically traded. As a consequence of this lack of liquidity, the trading of relatively small quantities of shares may disproportionately influence the price of those shares in either direction. The price for our shares could, for example, decline precipitously in the event that a large number of our shares are sold on the market without commensurate demand, as compared to a seasoned issuer which could better absorb those sales without adverse impact on its share price. Secondly, we are a speculative investment due to, among other matters, our limited operating history and lack of revenue or profit to date, and the uncertainty of future market acceptance for our potential products. As a consequence of this enhanced risk, more risk-averse investors may, under the fear of losing all or most of their investment in the event of negative news or lack of progress, be more inclined to sell their shares on the market more quickly and at greater discounts than would be the case with the securities of a seasoned issuer. The following factors may add to the volatility in the price of our shares: actual or anticipated variations in our quarterly or annual operating results; acceptance of our products; government regulations, announcements of significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships or joint ventures; our capital commitments and additions or departures of our key personnel. Many of these factors are beyond our control and may decrease the market price of our shares regardless of our operating performance. We cannot make any predictions or projections as to what the prevailing market price for our shares will be at any time, including as to whether our shares will sustain their current market prices, or as to what effect the sale of shares or the availability of shares for sale at any time will have on the prevailing market price.
Shareholders should be aware that, according to SEC Release No. 34-29093, the market for penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include (1) control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer; (2) manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases; (3) boiler room practices involving high-pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons; (4) excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differential and markups by selling broker-dealers; and (5) the wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the resulting inevitable collapse of those prices and with consequent investor losses. Our management is aware of the abuses that have occurred historically in the penny stock market. Although we do not expect to be in a position to dictate the behavior of the market or of broker-dealers who participate in the market, management will strive within the confines of practical limitations to prevent the described patterns from being established with respect to our securities. The possible occurrence of these patterns or practices could increase the volatility of our share price.
The market price of our common stock may be volatile and adversely affected by several factors.
The market price of our common stock could fluctuate significantly in response to various factors and events, including, but not limited to:
|
| · | our ability to integrate operations, technology, products and services; |
|
| · | our ability to execute our business plan; |
|
| · | operating results below expectations; |
| 27 |
| Table of Contents |
|
| · | our issuance of additional securities, including debt or equity or a combination thereof; |
|
| · | announcements of technological innovations or new products by us or our competitors; |
|
| · | loss of any strategic relationship; |
|
| · | industry developments, including, without limitation, changes in competition or practices; |
|
| · | economic and other external factors; |
|
| · | period-to-period fluctuations in our financial results; and |
|
| · | whether an active trading market in our common stock develops and is maintained. |
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. Issuers using the Alternative Reporting standard for filing financial reports with OTC Markets are often subject to large volatility unrelated to the fundamentals of the company.
Critical Solutions, Inc, through its ownership of the Company’s Special 2021 Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, can effectively control the Company
Critical Solutions, Inc. (OTC: CSLI) (“Critical Solutions, Inc.”), is the owner of all of the outstanding shares of the Company’s (100) One Hundred Special 2021 Series A Preferred Stock. Critical Solutions, Inc. is controlled through by the Company’s CEO, Samuel Barraza. Special 2021 Series A Preferred shareholders have voting rights equal to sixty percent (60%) of all votes entitled to be voted at any annual or special meeting of the shareholders of the Corporation or action by written consent of shareholders. Thus, Samuel Barraza and Critical Solutions, Inc. possesses significant influence and can elect a majority of our Board of Directors and authorize or prevent proposed significant corporate transactions. Critical Solutions, Inc. ownership and control of Special 2021 Series A Preferred Stock may also have the effect of delaying or preventing a future change in control, impeding a merger, consolidation, takeover or other business combination or discourage a potential acquirer from making a tender offer. Critical Solutions, Inc. ownership and control of the one hundred (100) Special 2021 Series A Preferred gives it the control of 60% of the Company’s voting shares regardless of the number of shares sold pursuant to this Offering. If you acquire our Shares, you will have no effective voice in the management of our Company. Such concentrated control of our Company may adversely affect the price of our Shares. Such concentrated control may also make it difficult for our shareholders to receive a premium for their Shares in the event that we merge with a third party or enter into different transactions, which require shareholder approval. These provisions could also limit the price that investors might be willing to pay in the future for our Shares.
We do not expect to pay dividends in the future; any return on investment may be limited to the value of our common stock.
We do not currently anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. The payment of dividends on our common stock will depend on earnings, financial condition and other business and economic factors affecting it at such time as the board of directors may consider relevant. Our current intention is to apply net earnings, if any, in the foreseeable future to increasing our capital base and development and marketing efforts. There can be no assurance that the Company will ever have sufficient earnings to declare and pay dividends to the holders of our common stock, and in any event, a decision to declare and pay dividends is at the sole discretion of our board of directors. If we do not pay dividends, our common stock may be less valuable because a return on your investment will only occur if its stock price appreciates.

Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws limit the liability of, and provide indemnification for, our officers and directors.
Our Certificate of Incorporation generally limits our officers’ and directors’ personal liability to the Company and its stockholders for breach of a fiduciary duty as an officer or director except for breach of the duty of loyalty or acts or omissions not made in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law. Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, provide indemnification for our officers and directors to the fullest extent authorized by the Washington General Corporation Law against all expense, liability, and loss, including attorney's fees, judgments, fines excise taxes or penalties and amounts to be paid in settlement reasonably incurred or suffered by an officer or director in connection with any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil or criminal, administrative or investigative (hereinafter a "Proceeding") to which the officer or director is made a party or is threatened to be made a party, or in which the officer or director is involved by reason of the fact that he is or was an officer or director of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company whether the basis of the Proceeding is an alleged action in an official capacity as an officer or director, or in any other capacity while serving as an officer or director. Thus, the Company may be prevented from recovering damages for certain alleged errors or omissions by the officers and directors for liabilities incurred in connection with their good faith acts for the Company. Such an indemnification payment might deplete the Company's assets. Stockholders who have questions regarding the fiduciary obligations of the officers and directors of the Company should consult with independent legal counsel. It is the position of the SEC that exculpation from and indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder is against public policy and therefore unenforceable.
We have established preferred stock, which our Board of Directors can designate and issue without stockholder approval.
The Company has 102 shares of Preferred Stock authorized. Shares of preferred stock of the Company may be issued from time to time in one or more series, each of which shall have distinctive designation or title as shall be determined by the Board of Directors of the Company prior to the issuance of any shares thereof. The preferred stock shall have such voting powers, full or limited, or no voting powers, and such preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights and such qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof as adopted by the Board of Directors. Because the Board of directors is able to designate the powers and preferences of the preferred stock without the vote of a majority of the Company’s stockholders, stockholders of the Company will have no control over what designations and preferences the Company’s preferred stock will have. As a result of this, the Company’s stockholders may have less control over the designations and preferences of the preferred stock and as a result the operations of the Company.
Stockholders who hold unregistered “restricted securities” will be subject to resale restrictions pursuant to Rule 144, due to the fact that we are deemed to be a former “shell company.”
Pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Rule 144”), a “shell company” is defined as a company that has no or nominal operations; and, either no or nominal assets; assets consisting solely of cash and cash equivalents; or assets consisting of any amount of cash and cash equivalents and nominal other assets. While we do not believe that we are currently a “shell company”, we were previously a “shell company” and as such are deemed to be a former “shell company” pursuant to Rule 144, and as such, sales of our securities pursuant to Rule 144 may not be able to be made until we are subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act"), and have filed all of our required periodic reports for at least the previous one year period prior to any sale pursuant to Rule 144; and a period of at least twelve months has elapsed from the date “Form 10 information” has been filed with the Commission reflecting the Company’s status as a non-“shell company.” Because we are deemed to be a former “shell company”, none of our non-registered “restricted securities” will be eligible to be sold pursuant to Rule 144, until at least a year after the date that our Registration Statement is filed with the Commission, any non-registered securities we sell in the future or issue to consultants or employees, in consideration for services rendered or for any other purpose will have no liquidity until and unless such securities are registered with the Commission and/or until a year after we have complied with the requirements of Rule 144. As a result, it may be harder for us to fund our operations and pay our consultants with our securities instead of cash. Furthermore, it will be harder for us to obtain funding through the sale of debt or equity securities unless we agree to register such securities with the Commission, which could cause us to expend additional resources in the future. Our status as a former “shell company” could prevent us from raising additional funds, engaging consultants, and using our securities to pay for any acquisitions, which could cause the value of our securities, if any, to decline in value or become worthless.

We may become involved in securities class action litigation that could divert management’s attention and harm our business.
The stock market in general, and the shares of early stage companies in particular, have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations. These fluctuations have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of the companies involved. If these fluctuations occur in the future, the market price of our shares could fall regardless of our operating performance. In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a particular company’s securities, securities class action litigation has often been brought against that company. If the market price or volume of our shares suffers extreme fluctuations, then we may become involved in this type of litigation, which would be expensive and divert management’s attention and resources from managing our business.
We may also from time to time make forward-looking statements about future operating results and provide some financial guidance to the public markets. Our management has limited experience as a management team in company such as ours and as a result, projections may not be made timely or set at expected performance levels and could materially affect the price of our shares. Any failure to meet published forward-looking statements that adversely affect the stock price could result in losses to investors, stockholder lawsuits or other litigation, sanctions or restrictions issued by the SEC.
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 15g-9 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, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require 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 if and when such shares are eligible for sale and may cause a decline in the market value of its stock.
Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and in secondary trading, and about the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities, and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stock.
As an issuer of a “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.

As an issuer not required to make reports to the Securities and Exchange Commission under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, holders of restricted shares may not be able to sell shares into the open market as Rule 144 exemptions may not apply.
Under Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, holders of restricted shares may avail themselves of certain exemptions from registration if the holder and the issuer meet certain requirements. As a company that is not required to file reports under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act, referred to as a non-reporting company, we may not, in the future, meet the requirements for an issuer under 144 that would allow a holder to qualify for Rule 144 exemptions. In such an event, holders of restricted stock would have to utilize another exemption from registration or rely on a registration statement to be filed by the Company registering the restricted stock. Although the Company currently plans to file either a Form 10 or S-1 with the Commission upon the conclusion of the Regulation A offering, there can be no guarantee that the Company will be able to fulfill one of these registration statements, which could have an adverse effect on our shareholders.
Securities analysts may elect not to report on our common stock or may issue negative reports that adversely affect the stock price.
At this time, no securities analysts provide research coverage of our common stock, and securities analysts may not elect to provide such coverage in the future. It may remain difficult for our company, with its small market capitalization, to attract independent financial analysts that will cover our common stock. If securities analysts do not cover our common stock, the lack of research coverage may adversely affect the stock’s actual and potential market price. The trading market for our common stock may be affected in part by the research and reports that industry or financial analysts publish about our business. If one or more analysts elect to cover our company and then downgrade the stock, the stock price would likely decline rapidly. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of our company, we could lose visibility in the market, which, in turn, could cause our stock price to decline. This could have a negative effect on the market price of our common stock.
Because directors and officers currently and for the foreseeable future will continue to control Universal Systems, Inc., it is not likely that you will be able to elect directors or have any say in the policies of Universal Systems, Inc.
Our shareholders are not entitled to cumulative voting rights. Consequently, the election of directors and all other matters requiring shareholder approval will be decided by majority vote. The directors, officers and affiliates of Universal Systems, Inc. beneficially own a majority of our outstanding common stock voting rights. Due to such significant ownership position held by our insiders, new investors may not be able to affect a change in our business or management, and therefore, shareholders would have no recourse as a result of decisions made by management.
In addition, sales of significant amounts of shares held by our directors, officers or affiliates, or the prospect of these sales, could adversely affect the market price of our common stock. Management’s stock ownership may discourage a potential acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of us, which in turn could reduce our stock price or prevent our stockholders from realizing a premium over our stock price.

Legal Restrictions
1. We may be exposed to potential risks resulting from requirements under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. As a reporting company we are required, pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes- Oxley Act of 2002, to include in our annual report our assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. We do not have enough employees to segregate responsibilities and may be unable to afford increasing our staff or engaging outside consultants or professionals to overcome our lack of employees.
2. We do not currently have independent audit or compensation committees. As a result, our directors have the ability, among other things, to determine their own level of compensation. Until we comply with such corporate governance measures, regardless of whether such compliance is required, the absence of such standards of corporate governance may leave our stockholders without protections against interested director transactions, conflicts of interest and similar matters and investors may be reluctant to provide us with funds necessary to expand our operations.
3. State Securities Laws may limit secondary trading, which may restrict the states in which and conditions under which you can sell Shares. Secondary trading in our common stock may not be possible in any state until the common stock is qualified for sale under the applicable securities laws of the state or there is confirmation that an exemption, such as listing in certain recognized securities manuals, is available for secondary trading in the state. If we fail to register or qualify, or to obtain or verify an exemption for the secondary trading of, the common stock in any state, the common stock cannot be offered or sold to, or purchased by, a resident of that state. If a significant number of states refuse to permit secondary trading in our common stock, the liquidity for the common stock could be significantly impacted.
4. We may in the future issue additional shares of our common stock, which may have a dilutive effect on our stockholders. Our amended Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the issuance of 1,000,000,000 shares of common stock, of which 286,059,052 shares are issued and outstanding as of June 6, 2022. The future issuance of our common shares may result in substantial dilution in the percentage of our common shares held by our then existing stockholders. We may value any common stock issued in the future on an arbitrary basis. The issuance of common stock for future services or acquisitions or other corporate actions may have the effect of diluting the value of the shares held by our investors and might have an adverse effect on any trading market for our common stock.
5. Investors may incur immediate and substantial dilution because of purchasing shares. The issue price of the shares may be substantially higher than the net tangible book value per share of the outstanding shares. Therefore, purchasers of shares may experience immediate and substantial dilution and our existing shareholders may experience a material increase in the net tangible book value per share of the shares they own.
6. We may issue shares of preferred stock in the future that may adversely impact your rights as holders of our common stock.
7. Our Certificate of Incorporation authorizes us to issue up to 102 shares of preferred stock. Accordingly, our board of directors will have the authority to fix and determine the relative rights and preferences of preferred shares, as well as the authority to issue such shares, without further stockholder approval. Currently there are 100 shares of Special 2021 Series A Preferred stock issued and outstanding. However, the 100 shares of Special 2021 Series A Preferred Stock shall have super voting rights equal to 60% of the outstanding common shares at all stockholders’ meetings for all purposes. Currently there are 2 shares of Special 2021 Series B Preferred Stock authorized but not issued.
Risks Relating to this Offering
1. Investors cannot withdraw funds once invested and will not receive a refund. Investors do not have the right to withdraw invested funds. Subscription payments will be paid to UNIVERSAL SYSTEMS, INC. and held in our corporate bank account if the Subscription Agreements are in good order and the Company accepts the investor’s investment. Therefore, once an investment is made, investors will not have the use or right to return of such funds.
2. Our Chairman of our Board of Directors, and CEO, Andrew Lane, our Vice President, Robert E. Munck and our Chief Technical Officer, Alessandro Patti has limited prior experience conducting a best effort offering, and our best effort offering does not require a minimum amount to be raised. As a result, we may not be able to raise enough funds to commence and sustain our business and our investors may lose their entire investment. Mr. Lane, Mr. Munck, and Mr. Patti have limited experience conducting a best-efforts offering. Consequently, we may not be able to raise the funds needed to commence business operations. Also, the best-efforts offering does not require a minimum amount to be raised. If we are not able to raise sufficient funds, we may not be able to fund our operations as planned, and our business will suffer, and your investment may be materially adversely affected. Our inability to successfully conduct a best-efforts offering could be the basis of your losing your entire investment in us.
3. There has been limited prior market for the shares, so there may be no liquidity in the market for the shares and the price of the shares may fall. As there has been limited prior public trading in the Group’s Common Shares, there can be no assurance that an active market for the shares will develop or, if developed, that such market will be sustained. The share price has been determined after taking into consideration a few factors including, but not limited to, our prospects, the market prices for shares of companies engaged in related businesses like ours and prevailing market conditions.
4. The Offer Shares may not be a suitable investment for all investors. Each prospective investor in the shares must determine the suitability of that investment considering its own circumstances. Each prospective investor should:

| Table of Contents |
| · | have sufficient knowledge and experience to make a meaningful evaluation of our Company and our businesses, the merits and risks of investing in the shares and the information contained in this Information Statement. |
|
|
|
| · | have access to, and knowledge of, appropriate analytical tools to evaluate, in the context of our particular financial situation, an investment in the shares and the impact the shares will have on our overall investment portfolio. |
|
|
|
| · | have sufficient financial resources and liquidity to bear all the risks of an investment in the shares, including where the currency for purchasing and receiving dividends on the shares is different from the potential investor’s currency. |
|
|
|
| · | understand and be familiar with the behavior of any relevant financial markets; and, |
|
|
|
| · | be able to eval |
The market price of securities can and does fluctuate. The shares have not been publicly traded and the relative volatility and illiquidity of the securities market may substantially limit an investor’s ability to sell the shares at a suitable price or at a time they desire which may result to an investors’ investments in our Company to decline. The market price of securities can and does fluctuate, and it is impossible to predict whether the price of the Common Shares will rise or fall or even lose all its value. The market price of Common Shares could be affected by several factors, including:
| · | general market, political and economic conditions. |
|
|
|
| · | changes in earnings estimates and recommendations by financial analysts. |
|
|
|
| · | changes in market valuations of listed shares in general and other retail shares. |
|
|
|
| · | the market value of the assets of our Company. |
|
|
|
| · | changes to Government policy, legislation or regulations; and, |
|
|
|
| · | general operational and business risks. |
In addition, many of the risks described elsewhere in this Information Statement could materially and adversely affect the market price of the Common Shares. In part because of the global economic downturn, the global equity markets have experienced price and volume volatility that has affected the share prices of many companies. Share prices for many companies have experienced wide fluctuations that have often been unrelated to the operating performance of those companies. Fluctuations such as these may adversely affect the market price of the Common Shares.
5. Our limited operating history with our current business lines makes it difficult to evaluate our current and prospects and may increase the risk associated with your investment.
We have a limited operating history with our current business lines. Consequently, our operations are subject to all the risks inherent in the establishment of new business lines in industries within which we are not necessarily familiar. We have encountered and will continue to encounter risks and difficulties frequently experienced by rapidly growing companies in constantly evolving industries, including the risks described in this prospectus. If we do not address these risks successfully, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects will be adversely affected, and the market price of our common stock could decline. As such, any predictions about our future revenue and expenses may not be as accurate as they would be if we had a longer operating history in our current business lines or operated in a more predictable market.

6. Conflict of Interest
The Company is subject to various potential and actual conflicts of interest arising out of its relationship with its President and/or affiliates of the Company: transactions with affiliates of the President of the Company and/or such other persons and entities; the payment of substantial sums from the proceeds of this offering to such affiliates; and, competition for the time and services of the President, agents, employees, and affiliates with other projects or businesses that they run.
7. Dealings with the Company
The CEO controls the business and affairs of the Company. Consequently, the CEO will be able to control the CEO’s own compensation and to approve dealings, if any, by the Company with other entities with which the CEO is also involved. Furthermore, the CEO controls the majority of the voting power in the Company. Although the CEO intends to act fairly and in full compliance with his fiduciary obligations, there can be no assurance that the Company will not, because of the conflict of interest described above, sometimes enter arrangements under terms less beneficial to the Company than it could have obtained had it been dealing with unrelated persons.
8. Limitation of Liability of the Officers and Directors
To the maximum extent allowed by law, the Officers and Directors will have limited liability for breach of fiduciary duty and for (i) any breach of the duty of loyalty to the Company or its shareholders; (ii) acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of the law; or (iii) any transactions from which the Officers or Directors derived an improper personal benefit.
9. Exclusive Selection of Forum in the Bylaws
Our corporate bylaws provide that unless the Corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, to the fullest extent permitted by law, all Internal Corporate Claims, as defined in the Bylaws, may be brought solely and exclusively in the District Court, Sheridan County, Nevada (or, if such court does not have jurisdiction, the United States Court for the District of Nevada). “Internal Corporate Claims” are defined as claims, including claims in the right of the Corporation, brought by a stockholder (including a beneficial owner) (i) that are based upon a violation of a duty owed by a current or former Director or officer or stockholder in such capacity or (ii) as to which the WCC confers jurisdiction upon the District Court. Please read our bylaws carefully in connection with this risk factor.
Please note that Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. We believe that the exclusive forum provisions apply to claims arising under the Securities Act and Exchange Act, but there is uncertainty as to whether a court would enforce such provisions in this context.
You will not be deemed to have waived the company’s compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. Investors cannot waive compliance with federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.
The aforementioned forum selection provisions may limit your ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us. Alternatively, if a court were to find these provisions inapplicable to, or unenforceable in an action, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such matters in other jurisdictions, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, or results of operations.
RISKS RELATED TO OUR CORPORATE OPERATIONS
We have a limited operating history under the current business plan and may never be profitable.
Since we have a limited operating history following the implementation of the current business plan, it is difficult for potential investors to evaluate our business. We expect that we will continue to need to raise additional capital to fund our operations. There can be no assurance that such additional capital will be available to us on favorable terms or at all. There can be no assurance that we will be profitable.

RISKS RELATED TO THIS OFFERING AND THE MARKET FOR OUR COMMON STOCK
The offering price of our shares has been arbitrarily determined.
Our management has determined the number of shares to be offered by the Company, and the price at which those shares are to be offered. The price of the shares we are offering was arbitrarily determined based upon the current market value, illiquidity, and volatility of our common stock, our current financial condition and the prospects for our future cash flows and earnings, and market and economic conditions at the time of the offering. The offering price for the common stock sold in this offering may be more or less than the fair market value for our common stock.
We have broad discretion in the use of the net proceeds from this offering and may not use them effectively.
Our management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds and may spend or invest these proceeds in a way with which our stockholders disagree. The failure by our management to apply these funds effectively could harm our business and financial condition. Pending their use, we may invest the net proceeds from this offering in a manner that does not produce income or that loses value.
There has been only a limited public market for our common stock and an active trading market for our common stock may not develop following this offering.
There has not been any broad public market for our common stock, and an active trading market may not develop or be sustained. Shares of our common stock may not be able to be resold at or above the initial public offering price. The initial public offering price of our common stock has been determined arbitrarily by management without regard to earnings, book value, or other traditional indication of value. Our common stock may trade below the initial public offering price following the completion of this offering. The market value of our common stock could be substantially affected by general market conditions, including the extent to which a secondary market develops for our common stock following the completion of this offering, the extent of institutional investor interest in us, the general reputation of companies in the world-class yacht sales industry and the attractiveness of their equity securities in comparison to other equity securities, our financial performance and general stock and bond market conditions.
Investors may have difficulty in reselling their shares due to the lack of market.
Our common stock is not currently traded on any exchange but is quoted on OTC Markets Pink marketplace under the trading symbol “UVSS.” There is a limited trading market for our common stock. There is no guarantee that any significant market for our securities will ever develop. Further, state securities laws may make it difficult or impossible to resell our shares in certain states. Accordingly, our securities should be considered highly illiquid.
The market price and trading volume of our common stock may be volatile following this offering.
Even if an active trading market develops for our common stock, the trading price of our common stock may be volatile. In addition, the trading volume in our common stock may fluctuate and cause significant price variations to occur. If the trading price of our common stock declines significantly, you may be unable to resell your shares at or above the public offering price.
Some of the factors that could negatively affect our share price or result in fluctuations in the price or trading volume of our common stock include:
|
| ● | actual or anticipated variations in our quarterly operating results or dividends; |
|
|
|
|
|
| ● | changes in our funds from operations or income estimates; |
|
|
|
|
|
| ● | publication of research reports about us |
|
|
|
|
|
| ● | changes in market valuations of similar companies; |
| 35 |

|
| ● | actions by institutional stockholders; |
|

| ● | general market and economic conditions. |
In the past, securities class-action litigation has often been instituted against companies following periods of volatility in the price of their common stock. This type of litigation could result in substantial costs and divert our management’s attention and resources, which could have an adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and the trading price of our common stock.
There could be volatility in our share price due to shares held by only a few people.
A small number of stockholders own a significant portion of our public float. As of the date of this offering circular, a limited number (less than 5) persons beneficially own and control a significant portion of the public float of the Company, consisting of more than 286,049,052 shares. The Company has no control over the decisions of any of these stockholders to retain ownership of their shares. The trading price of the Company’s common stock could be adversely affected or be subject to volatility if one or more of these stockholders should determine to sell their shares.
Our shares are considered to be a “Penny Stock,” which impairs 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, brokers/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 prepared by the SEC 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.

Future issuances of debt securities and equity securities may negatively affect the market price of shares of our common stock and, in the case of equity securities, may be dilutive to existing stockholders.
In the future, we may issue debt or equity securities or incur other financial obligations, including stock dividends and shares that may be issued in exchange for common units and equity plan shares/units. Upon liquidation, holders of our debt securities and other loans and preferred stock will receive a distribution of our available assets before common stockholders. We are not required to offer any such additional debt or equity securities to existing stockholders on a preemptive basis. Therefore, additional common stock issuances, directly or through convertible or exchangeable securities (including common units and convertible preferred units), warrants or options, will dilute the holdings of our existing common stockholders and such issuances or the perception of such issuances may reduce the market price of shares of our common stock. Any convertible preferred units would have, and any series or class of our preferred stock would likely have, a preference on distribution payments, periodically or upon liquidation, which could eliminate or otherwise limit our ability to make distributions to common stockholders.
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 directs, 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 this (and any subsequent) offering statement.
Our reporting obligation to file reports following this offering will be suspended if, on the first day of any fiscal year (other than a fiscal year in which the offering statement under the Securities Act has been qualified), we have fewer than 300 shareholders of record and we file Form 1-Z with the SEC. In such an event, we may cease providing periodic reports and current or periodic information, including operational and financial information, may not be available with respect to our results of operations. Our common shares are not registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and we do not intend to register our common shares under the Exchange Act for the foreseeable future, provided that, we will register our common shares under the Exchange Act if we have, after the last day of our fiscal year, more than either (i) 2000 persons; or (ii) 500 shareholders of record who are not accredited investors, in accordance with Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act.
Further, if our common shares are 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 Securities and Exchange Commission a proxy statement and form of proxy complying with the proxy rules.
In addition, so long as our common shares are not registered under the Exchange Act, our Company will not be subject to the reporting requirements of Regulation 13D and Regulation 13G, which requires 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 five (5%) of the class.
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. 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.
Special Risks for Investors Who Acquire More Than 20% of the Equity Interests
Such Investors May Be Subject to the Bad Actor Provisions of Rule 262 of Regulation A, Rule 262 pertains to Investors (“covered persons”) who acquire more than twenty percent (20%) of the voting (equity) interests in companies seeking an exemption from securities registration under Regulation A. If such Investors have been subject to certain “disqualifying events” (as defined by the SEC), they are required to either: a) disclose such events to other Investors (if they occurred before June 19, 2015); or b) own less than twenty percent (20%) of the voting (equity) Interests in the Company (if they occurred after June 19, 2015), and c) and they may not participate in management or fundraising for the Company. Disqualifying events are broadly defined to include such things as criminal convictions, citations, cease and desist or other final orders issued by a court, state or federal regulatory agency related to financial matters, Investors, securities violations, fraud, or misrepresentation.
Investors or other covered persons who do not wish to be subject to this requirement should: a) acquire less than twenty percent (20%) of the voting interests in the Company (or ensure that the Interests they acquire are non-voting), and b) abstain from participating in management or fundraising for the Company. Covered persons have a continuing obligation to disclose disqualifying events both: a) at the time they are admitted to the Company, and b) when such disqualifying event occurs (if later), for so long as they are participating in the Company. Failure to do so may cause the Company to lose its Regulation A securities exemption.

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain information contained in this Offering Circular includes forward-looking statements.

In the event the Company does not sell all shares offered hereby, it intends to reduce the allocation to working capital. Once no proceeds are available for allocation to working capital reserves, the Company intends to proportionately reduce the amount of proceeds allocated to each other category above, which are listed in order of priority.
The allocation of the use of proceeds among the categories of anticipated expenditures represents management’s best estimates based on the current status of the Company’s proposed operations, plans, investment objectives, capital requirements, and financial conditions. Future events, including changes in economic or competitive conditions of our business plan or the completion of less than the total offering, may cause the Company to modify the above-described allocation of proceeds. The Company’s use of proceeds may vary significantly in the event any of the Company’s assumptions prove inaccurate. We reserve the right to change the allocation of net proceeds from the offering as unanticipated events or opportunities arise.
DIVIDEND POLICY
We have not declared or paid any dividends on our Common Stock. We intend to retain earnings for use in our operations and to finance our business. Any change in our dividend policy is within the discretion of our board of directors and will depend, among other things, on our earnings, debt service, and capital requirements, restrictions in financing agreements, if any, business conditions, legal restrictions and other factors that our board of directors deems relevant.
DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE
The offering price of the common stock has been arbitrarily determined and bears no relationship to any objective criterion of value. The price does not bear any relationship to our assets, book value, any historical earnings or net worth. In determining the offering price, management considered such factors as the prospects, if any, for similar companies, anticipated results of operations, present financial resources and the likelihood of acceptance of this offering. In addition, no investment banker, appraiser, or other independent third party has been consulted concerning the offering price for the shares or the fairness of the offering price used for the shares. We cannot assure you that a public market for our securities will develop or continue or that the securities will ever trade at a price higher than the offering price.

All money we receive from the offering will be immediately available to us for the uses set forth in the “Use of Proceeds” section of this offering circular. There will be no refunds.
Our common stock is not now listed on any national securities exchange or the NASDAQ stock market; however, the Company’s common stock is quoted on the OTC Markets Pink marketplace. There is currently only a limited market for our securities and there is no guarantee that a more substantial or active trading market will develop in the future. There is also no guarantee that our securities will ever trade on any listed exchange. Accordingly, our shares should be considered highly illiquid, which inhibits investors’ ability to resell their shares.
Upon this circular being qualified by the SEC, the Company may offer and sell shares from time to time until all the shares registered are sold; however, this offering will terminate one year from the initial qualification date of this circular, unless extended or earlier terminated by the Company. The Company may terminate this offering at any time.
Currently, we plan to have our directors and executive officers and directors sell the shares offered hereby on a best-efforts basis. The shares of Selling Securityholders will be sold by our directors and executive officers subject to full compliance with applicable securities laws.
Our directors and executive officers will receive no discounts or commissions. Our executive officers will deliver this circular to those persons who they believe might have interest in purchasing all or a part of this offering. The Company may generally solicit investors; however, it must abide by the “blue sky” regulations relating to investor solicitation in the states where it will solicit investors. All shares (whether the shares offered by the Company or the shares offered by Selling Securityholders) will be offered on a “best efforts” basis.
Our directors and officers will not register as broker-dealers under Section 15 of the Exchange Act of 1934 in reliance upon Rule 3a4-1. Rule 3a4-1 sets forth those conditions under which a person associated with an issuer may participate in the offering of the issuer’s securities and not be deemed to be a broker-dealer. The conditions are that:
| ● | the person is not statutorily disqualified, as that term is defined in Section 3(a)(39) of the Exchange Act, at the time of his participation; |
| ● | the person is not at the time of their participation an associated person of a broker-dealer; and |
| ● | the person meets the conditions of paragraph (a)(4)(ii) of Rule 3a4-1 of the Exchange Act, in that he (i) primarily performs, or is intended primarily to perform at the end of the offering, substantial duties for or on behalf of the issuer otherwise than in connection with transactions in securities; and (ii) is not a broker or dealer, or an associated person of a broker or dealer, within the preceding 12 months; and (iii) does not participate in selling and offering of securities for any issuer more than once every 12 months other than in reliance on paragraphs (a)(4)(i) or (a)(4)(iii) of Rule 3a4-1 of the Exchange Act. |
Our officers and directors are not statutorily disqualified, are not being compensated, and are not associated with a broker-dealer. They are and will continue to hold their positions as officers or directors following the completion of the offering and have not been during the past 12 months and are currently not brokers or dealers or associated with brokers or dealers. They have not nor will they participate in the sale of securities of any issuer more than once every 12 months.
As of the date of this circular, we have not entered any arrangements with any selling agents for the sale of the securities; however, we may engage one or more selling agents to sell the securities in the future. If we elect to do so, we will supplement this circular as appropriate.

All subscription agreements and checks received by the Company for the purchase of shares are irrevocable until accepted or rejected by the Company and should be delivered to the Company as provided in the subscription agreement. A subscription agreement executed by a subscriber is not binding on the Company until it is accepted on our behalf by the Company’s CEO or by specific resolution of our Board of Directors. Any subscription not accepted within 30 days will be automatically deemed rejected. Once accepted, the Company will deliver a stock certificate to a purchaser within five days from a request by the purchaser; otherwise, purchasers’ shares will be noted and held on the book records of the Company. In various states in the United States, the securities may not be sold unless these securities have been registered or qualified for sale in such state or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and is complied with. We have not yet applied for “blue sky” registration in any state, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to apply, or that our application will be approved and our securities will be registered, in any state in the US. We intend to sell the shares only in the states in which this offering has been qualified or an exemption from the registration requirements is available, and purchases of shares may be made only in those states.
Should any fundamental change occur regarding the status of this offering or other matters concerning the Company, we will file an amendment to this circular disclosing such matters.
OTC Markets Considerations
The OTC Markets is separate and distinct from the NASDAQ stock market or other national exchange. NASDAQ has no business relationship with issuers of securities quoted on the OTC Markets. The SEC’s order handling rules, which apply to Nasdaq-listed securities, do not apply to securities quoted on the OTC Markets.
Although the NASDAQ and other national stock markets have rigorous listing standards to ensure the high quality of their issuers and can delist issuers for not meeting those standards; the OTC Markets has no listing standards. Rather, it is the market maker who chooses to quote security on the system, files the application, and is obligated to comply with keeping information about the issuer in its files.
Investors may have greater difficulty in getting orders filled than if we were on NASDAQ or other exchanges. Trading activity, in general, is not conducted as efficiently and effectively on OTC Markets as with exchange-listed securities. Also, because OTC Markets stocks are usually not followed by analysts, there may be lower trading volume than for Nasdaq-listed securities.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT
The following tables set forth the ownership, as of the date of this Circular, of our shares of stock by each person known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than 10% of our outstanding voting stock, our directors, and our executive officers and directors as a group. To the best of our knowledge, the persons named have sole voting and investment power with respect to such shares, except as otherwise noted. There are not any pending or anticipated arrangements that may cause a change in control.
The information presented below regarding beneficial ownership of our voting securities has been presented in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and is not necessarily indicative of ownership for any other purpose. Under these rules, a person is deemed to be a “beneficial owner” of a security if that person has or shares the power to vote or direct the voting of the security or the power to dispose or direct the disposition of the security. A person is deemed to own beneficially any security as to which such person has the right to acquire sole or shared voting or investment power within 60 days through the conversion or exercise of any convertible security, warrant, option or other right. More than one person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of the same securities.

Regardless of the success of this offering, our officer and director and current stockholders will continue to own the majority of our common stock after the offering. Since they may continue to control the Company after the offering, investors are unable to change the course of the operations. Thus, the shares we are offering may lack the value normally attributable to voting rights. This could result in a reduction in the value of the shares you own because of their ineffective voting power. None of our common stock is subject to outstanding options, warrants, or securities convertible into common stock.

Except as may otherwise be specified in the terms of any class or series of our common stock, each outstanding share of our common stock entitles the holder to one vote on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders, including the election of directors, and, except as may be provided with respect to any other class or series of stock, the holders of shares of common stock will possess the exclusive voting power. There is no cumulative voting in the election of our directors. Directors are elected by a plurality of all the votes cast in the election of directors.
Under both Washington Law, a corporation generally cannot dissolve, amend its Articles of Incorporation, merge, consolidate, sell all or substantially all of its assets or engage in a statutory share exchange unless declared advisable by its board of directors and approved by the affirmative vote of stockholders entitled to cast the votes on the matter unless a lesser percentage (but not less than a majority of all of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter) is set forth in the corporation’s Articles of Incorporation. Our Articles of Incorporation provides for approval of any of these matters by the affirmative vote of stockholders entitled to cast a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast on such matters.

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE
General
Upon completion of the formation transactions and this offering, we will have outstanding 886,049,052 shares of our common stock. Of these shares, the 600,000,000 shares sold in this offering will be freely transferable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act, subject to the limitations on ownership set forth in our Articles of Incorporation, except for any shares purchased in this offering by our “affiliates,” as that term is defined by Rule 144 under the Securities Act. The current public float is 76,836,847 and the 209,212,205 of common stock will be “restricted securities” as defined in Rule 144. Restricted securities may be sold in the public market only if the sale is registered under the Securities Act or qualifies for an exemption from registration, including an exemption under Rule 144, as described below.
Prior to this offering, there has been no active public market for our common stock. We can provide no assurance as to: (1) the likelihood that an active market for our shares of common stock will develop; (2) the liquidity of any such market; (3) the ability of the stockholders to sell the shares; or (4) the prices that stockholders may obtain for any of the shares. We cannot make any prediction as to the effect, if any, that future sales of shares, or the availability of shares for future sale, will have on the market price prevailing from time to time. Sales of substantial amounts of our common stock (including shares issued upon the exchange of common units in our operating partnership tendered for redemption), or the perception that such sales could occur, may adversely affect prevailing market prices of our common stock. See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to the Market for Our Common Stock.” For a description of certain restrictions on transfers of our shares of common stock held by our stockholders, see “Description of Capital Stock.”

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS END December 31, 2021 AND December 31, 2020 (UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 - NATURE OF BUSINESS
ORGANIZATION
On April 16th, 2021, Benjamin Berry was appointed the Court Appointed Custodian/Receiver of Universal Systems, Inc., by the Clark County Superior Court of Washington by Case Number 2120043106.
Previously, Universal Systems, Inc., (the “Company”) formerly known as Berry Shino Securities of Washington, Inc., changed its name to New Century Industries, Inc. On July 21st, 2003, Berry Shino Securities of Washington, Inc., changed its name to New Century Industries, Inc. On October 27th, 2003, the New Century Industries, Inc., changed its name to New Century Metals Corporation. On November 18th, 2003, New Century Metals Corporation changed its name to Universal Systems, Inc., and began focusing its operational efforts as a full-service wastewater treatment service provider for the oil industry.
On July 22nd, 2021 Benjamin Berry resigned, and Andrew Lane was appointed as President/CEO of the Company.
On July 22nd, 2021, MKH Ventures, LLC., a Nevada Limited Liability Company, entered into an agreement with Synergy Management Group, LLC, a Wyoming Limited Liability Company for the acquisition of Universal Systems, Inc., a Washington Corporation, in exchange for one hundred (100) Special 2021 Series A Preferred Shares, and 60% super voting rights of Universal Systems, Inc.
| F-7 |
| Table of Contents |
On September 15th, 2021, as part of the consolidation of assets of MKH Ventures, LLC., Critical Solutions, Inc., was assigned one hundred (100) Special 2021 Series A Preferred Shares, and 60% super voting rights of Universal Systems, Inc.
On September 21st, 2021, Universal Systems, Inc., filed an amendment with the State of Washington, pursuant to Washington CORP § 307 for the creation of 100 shares of Special 2021 Series A Preferred stock shares, and 2 shares of Special 2021 Series B Preferred stock shares. The Special 2021 Series B Preferred shares are only authorized, have not been issued, and are not currently outstanding.
The Company currently has no operations.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The Company has not earned any revenues from limited principal operations. Accordingly, the Company’s activities have been accounted for as those of a “Development Stage Enterprise” as set forth in Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 7 (“SFAS 7”). Among the disclosures required by SFAS 7 are that the Company’s financial statements be identified as those of a development stage company, and that the statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows disclose activity since the date of the Company’s inception.
BASIS OF ACCOUNTING
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated.
NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
GOING CONCERN
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company currently has no operations with an accumulated deficit of $1,454,167 to December 31st, 2021.
These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. 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 consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash equivalents include demand deposits, money market funds, and all highly liquid debt instructions with original maturities of three months or less.
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The FASB issued ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, for financial assets and liabilities. ASC 820-10 provides a framework for measuring fair value and requires expanded disclosures regarding fair value measurements. ASC 820-10 defines fair value as the price that would be received for an asset or the exit price that would be paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820-10 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs, where available. The following summarizes the three levels of inputs required by the standard that the Company uses to measure fair value:
| - | Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities |
|
|
|
| - | Level 2: Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the related assets or liabilities. |
|
|
|
| - | Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. |
CONCENTRATIONS AND CREDIT RISKS
The Company’s financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations and credit risk primarily consist of its cash, sales and accounts receivable.
Cash - The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions of high credit worthiness. At times, its cash and cash equivalents with a particular financial institution may exceed any applicable government insurance limits. The Company’s management plans to assess the financial strength and credit worthiness of any parties to which it extends funds, and as such, it believes that any associated credit risk exposures are limited.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
The accounts of the Company are accounted for in accordance with the Statement of Financial Accounting Statements No. 52 (“SFAS 52”), “Foreign Currency Translation”. The financial statements of the Company are translated into US dollars as follows: assets and liabilities at year-end exchange rates; income, expenses, and cash flows at average exchange rates; and shareholders’ equity at historical exchange rate.
| F-9 |
| Table of Contents |
NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Monetary assets and liabilities, and the related revenue, expense, gain and loss accounts, of the Company are remeasured at year-end exchange rates. Non-monetary assets and liabilities, and the related revenue, expense, gain and loss accounts are re-measured at historical rates. Adjustments which result from the re-measurement of the assets and liabilities of the Company are included in net income.
SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, prescribes accounting and reporting standards for all share-based payment transactions in which employee services are acquired. Transactions include incurring liabilities, or issuing or offering to issue shares, options, and other equity instruments such as employee stock ownership plans and stock appreciation rights. Share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, are recognized as compensation expense in the financial statements based on their fair values. That expense is recognized in the period of grant.
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation issued to non-employees and consultants in accordance with the provisions of ASC 505-50, Equity – Based Payments to Non-Employees. Measurement of share-based payment transactions with non-employees is based on the fair value of whichever is more reliably measurable: (a) the goods or services received; or (b) the equity instruments issued. The fair value of the share-based payment transaction is determined at the earlier of performance commitment date or performance completion date.
As of June 30, 2022, and 2021, respectively, there was $Nil of unrecognized expense related to non-vested stock- based compensation arrangements granted. There have been no options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2022, and 2021, respectively.
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. Deferred tax assets or liabilities were offset by a 100% valuation allowance, therefore there has been no recognized benefit as of the six months ended June 30, 2022, and 2021, respectively. Further it is unlikely with the change of control that the Company will have the ability to realize any future tax benefits that may exist.
NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company follows ASC 450-20, Loss Contingencies, to report accounting for contingencies. Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines and penalties and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the assessment can be reasonably estimated.
EARNINGS PER SHARE
Net income (loss) per share is calculated in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share. The weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period is used to compute basic earnings or loss per share. Diluted earnings or loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares and diluted potential common shares outstanding. Dilutive potential common shares are additional common shares assumed to be exercised.
| F-10 |
| Table of Contents |
Basic net income (loss) per common share is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding on June 30, 2022, and 2021, respectively. Due to net operating loss, there is no presentation of dilutive earnings per share, as it would be anti-dilutive.
FORGIVENESS OF INDEBTEDNESS
The Company follows the guidance of AS 470.10 related to debt forgiveness and extinguishment. Debts of the Company are considered extinguished when the statute of limitations in the applicable jurisdiction expires or when terminated by judicial authority such as the granting of a declaratory judgment. Debts to related parties or shareholders are treated as capital transactions when forgiven or extinguished and credited to additional paid in capital. Debts to non-related parties are treated as other income when forgiven or extinguished.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
We have reviewed all the recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and we do not believe any of these pronouncements will have a material impact on the Company.
On August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), which changes both the designation and measurement guidance for qualifying hedging relationships and the presentation of hedge results, to better align an entity’s risk management activities and financial reporting for hedging relationships. The amendments expand and refine hedge accounting for both nonfinancial and financial risk components and align the recognition and presentation of the effects of the hedging instrument and the hedged item in the financial statements. FASB ASU No. 2017-12 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. We are still evaluating the impact that this guidance will have on our financial position or results of operations, and we have not yet determined whether we will early adopt FASB ASU No. 2017-12.

On July 22nd, 2021, MKH Ventures, LLC., a Nevada Limited Liability Company, entered into an agreement with Synergy Management Group, LLC, a Wyoming Limited Liability Company for the acquisition of Universal Systems, Inc., a Washington Corporation, in exchange for one hundred (100) Special 2021 Series A Preferred Shares, and 60% super voting rights of Universal Systems, Inc.
On September 15th, 2021, as part of the consolidation of assets of MKH Ventures, LLC., Critical Solutions, Inc., was assigned one hundred (100) Special 2021 Series A Preferred Shares, and 60% super voting rights of Universal Systems, Inc.
On September 21st, 2021, Universal Systems, Inc., filed an amendment with the State of Washington, pursuant to Washington CORP § 307 for the creation of 100 shares of Special 2021 Series A Preferred stock shares, and 2 shares of Special 2021 Series B Preferred stock shares. The Special 2021 Series B Preferred shares are only authorized, have not been issued, and are not currently outstanding.
The Company currently has no operations.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The Company has not earned any revenues from limited principal operations. Accordingly, the Company’s activities have been accounted for as those of a “Development Stage Enterprise” as set forth in Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 7 (“SFAS 7”). Among the disclosures required by SFAS 7 are that the Company’s financial statements be identified as those of a development stage company, and that the statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows disclose activity since the date of the Company’s inception.
BASIS OF ACCOUNTING
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated.
NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
GOING CONCERN
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company currently has no operations with an accumulated deficit of $1,454,167 to December 31st, 2021.
These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. 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 consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, cash equivalents include demand deposits, money market funds, and all highly liquid debt instructions with original maturities of three months or less.
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The FASB issued ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, for financial assets and liabilities. ASC 820-10 provides a framework for measuring fair value and requires expanded disclosures regarding fair value measurements. ASC 820-10 defines fair value as the price that would be received for an asset or the exit price that would be paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820-10 also establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs, where available. The following summarizes the three levels of inputs required by the standard that the Company uses to measure fair value:
| - | Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities |
|
|
|
| - | Level 2: Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the related assets or liabilities. |
|
|
|
| - | Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. |
CONCENTRATIONS AND CREDIT RISKS
The Company’s financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations and credit risk primarily consist of its cash, sales and accounts receivable.
Cash - The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions of high credit worthiness. At times, its cash and cash equivalents with a particular financial institution may exceed any applicable government insurance limits. The Company’s management plans to assess the financial strength and credit worthiness of any parties to which it extends funds, and as such, it believes that any associated credit risk exposures are limited.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
The accounts of the Company are accounted for in accordance with the Statement of Financial Accounting Statements No. 52 (“SFAS 52”), “Foreign Currency Translation”. The financial statements of the Company are translated into US dollars as follows: assets and liabilities at year-end exchange rates; income, expenses, and cash flows at average exchange rates; and shareholders’ equity at historical exchange rate.

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Monetary assets and liabilities, and the related revenue, expense, gain and loss accounts, of the Company are remeasured at year-end exchange rates. Non-monetary assets and liabilities, and the related revenue, expense, gain and loss accounts are re-measured at historical rates. Adjustments which result from the re-measurement of the assets and liabilities of the Company are included in net income.
SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, prescribes accounting and reporting standards for all share-based payment transactions in which employee services are acquired. Transactions include incurring liabilities, or issuing or offering to issue shares, options, and other equity instruments such as employee stock ownership plans and stock appreciation rights. Share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, are recognized as compensation expense in the financial statements based on their fair values. That expense is recognized in the period of grant.
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation issued to non-employees and consultants in accordance with the provisions of ASC 505-50, Equity – Based Payments to Non-Employees. Measurement of share-based payment transactions with non-employees is based on the fair value of whichever is more reliably measurable: (a) the goods or services received; or (b) the equity instruments issued. The fair value of the share-based payment transaction is determined at the earlier of performance commitment date or performance completion date.
As of June 30, 2022, and 2021, respectively, there was $Nil of unrecognized expense related to non-vested stock- based compensation arrangements granted. There have been no options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2022, and 2021, respectively.
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. Deferred tax assets or liabilities were offset by a 100% valuation allowance, therefore there has been no recognized benefit as of the six months ended June 30, 2022, and 2021, respectively. Further it is unlikely with the change of control that the Company will have the ability to realize any future tax benefits that may exist.
NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company follows ASC 450-20, Loss Contingencies, to report accounting for contingencies. Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines and penalties and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the assessment can be reasonably estimated.
EARNINGS PER SHARE
| F-18 |
| Table of Contents |
Net income (loss) per share is calculated in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share. The weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period is used to compute basic earnings or loss per share. Diluted earnings or loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares and diluted potential common shares outstanding. Dilutive potential common shares are additional common shares assumed to be exercised.
Basic net income (loss) per common share is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding on June 30, 2022, and 2021, respectively. Due to net operating loss, there is no presentation of dilutive earnings per share, as it would be anti-dilutive.
FORGIVENESS OF INDEBTEDNESS
The Company follows the guidance of AS 470.10 related to debt forgiveness and extinguishment. Debts of the Company are considered extinguished when the statute of limitations in the applicable jurisdiction expires or when terminated by judicial authority such as the granting of a declaratory judgment. Debts to related parties or shareholders are treated as capital transactions when forgiven or extinguished and credited to additional paid in capital. Debts to non-related parties are treated as other income when forgiven or extinguished.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
We have reviewed all the recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and we do not believe any of these pronouncements will have a material impact on the Company.
On August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), which changes both the designation and measurement guidance for qualifying hedging relationships and the presentation of hedge results, to better align an entity’s risk management activities and financial reporting for hedging relationships. The amendments expand and refine hedge accounting for both nonfinancial and financial risk components and align the recognition and presentation of the effects of the hedging instrument and the hedged item in the financial statements. FASB ASU No. 2017-12 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. We are still evaluating the impact that this guidance will have on our financial position or results of operations, and we have not yet determined whether we will early adopt FASB ASU No. 2017-12.
