This Form 1-A, Offering Circular, and any documents incorporated by reference herein or therein contain forward-looking statements and are subject to risks and uncertainties. All statements other than statements of historical fact or relating to present facts or current conditions included in this Form 1-A, Offering Circular, and any documents incorporated by reference are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements give the Company’s current reasonable expectations and projections relating to its financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, future performance, and business. You can identify forward-looking statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. These statements may include words such as ‘anticipate,’ ‘estimate,’ ‘expect,’ ‘project,’ ‘plan,’ ‘intend,’ ‘believe,’ ‘may,’ ‘should,’ ‘can have,’ ‘likely’ and other words and terms of similar meaning in connection with any discussion of the timing or nature of future operating or financial performance or other events. The forward-looking statements contained in this Form 1-A, Offering Circular, and any documents incorporated by reference herein or therein are based on reasonable assumptions the Company has made in light of its industry experience, perceptions of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors it believes are appropriate under the circumstances. As you read and consider this Form 1-A, Offering Circular, and any documents incorporated by reference, you should understand that these statements are not guarantees of performance or results. They involve risks, uncertainties (many of which are beyond the Company’s control) and assumptions. Although the Company believes that these forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, you should be aware that many factors could affect its actual operating and financial performance and cause its performance to differ materially from the performance anticipated in the forward-looking statements. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize or should any of these assumptions prove incorrect or change, the Company’s actual operating and financial performance may vary in material respects from the performance projected in these forward- looking statements. Any forward-looking statement made by the Company in this Form 1-A, Offering Circular or any documents incorporated by reference herein speaks only as of the date of this Form 1-A, Offering Circular or any documents incorporated by reference herein. Factors or events that could cause our actual operating and financial performance to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for the Company to predict all of them. The Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as may be required by law.

Investment Analysis

 

There is no assurance the Company will be profitable, or that management’s opinion of the Company’s future prospects will not be outweighed by the unanticipated losses, adverse regulatory developments and other risks. Investors should carefully consider the various risk factors below before investing in the Shares.

 

RISK FACTORS

 

The purchase of the Company’s Common Stock involves substantial risks. You should carefully consider the following risk factors in addition to any other risks associated with this investment. The Shares offered by the Company constitute a highly speculative investment and you should be in an economic position to lose your entire investment. The risks listed do not necessarily comprise all those associated with an investment in the Shares and are not set out in any particular order of priority. Additional risks and uncertainties may also have an adverse effect on the Company’s business and your investment in the Shares. An investment in the Company may not be suitable for all recipients of this Offering Circular. You are advised to consult an independent professional adviser or attorney who specializes in investments of this kind before making any decision to invest. You should consider carefully whether an investment in the Company is suitable in the light of your personal circumstances and the financial resources available to you.

 

The discussions and information in this Offering Circular may contain both historical and forward- looking statements. To the extent that the Offering Circular contains forward-looking statements regarding the financial condition, operating results, business prospects, or any other aspect of the Company’s business, please be advised that the Company’s actual financial condition, operating results, and business performance may differ materially from that projected or estimated by the Company in forward-looking statements. The Company has attempted to identify, in context, certain of the factors it currently believes may cause actual future experience and results may differ from the Company’s current expectations.

 

Before investing, you should carefully read and carefully consider the following risk factors:

 

Risks Related to the Company and Its Business

 

We have a limited operating history.

 

Our operating history is limited. There can be no assurance that our proposed plan of business can be realized in the manner contemplated and, if it cannot be, shareholders may lose all or a substantial part of their investment. There is no guarantee that we will ever realize any significant operating revenues or that our operations will ever be profitable.

 

We are dependent upon management, key personnel, and consultants to execute our business plan.

 

Our success is heavily dependent upon the continued active participation of our current management team, Kuldip Singh, Antonio Cesar Gruel, Jagandeep Kaur and Maria Guel. The loss of any one of these individuals could have a material adverse effect upon our business, financial condition, or results of operations. Further, our success and the achievement of our growth plans depends on our ability to recruit, hire, train, and retain other highly qualified technical and managerial personnel. Competition for qualified employees among companies in our industry, and the loss of any of such persons, or an inability to attract, retain, and motivate any additional highly skilled employees required for the expansion of our activities, could have a materially adverse effect on our business. If we are unable to attract and retain the necessary personnel, consultants, and advisors, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or operations.

8

 

 

Although we are dependent upon certain key personnel, we do not have any key man life insurance policies on any such people.

 

We are dependent upon management in order to conduct our operations and execute our business plan; however, we have not purchased any insurance policies with respect to those individuals in the event of their death or disability. Therefore, should any of those key personnel, management die or become disabled, we will not receive any compensation that would assist with any such person’s absence. The loss of any such person could negatively affect our business and operations.

 

We are subject to income taxes as well as non-income-based taxes, such as payroll, sales, use, value-added, net worth, property, and goods and services taxes.

 

Significant judgment is required in determining our provision for income taxes and other tax liabilities. In the ordinary course of our business, there are many transactions and calculations where the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. Although we believe that our tax estimates will be reasonable: (i) there is no assurance that the final determination of tax audits or tax disputes will not be different from what is reflected in our income tax provisions, expense amounts for non-income based taxes and accruals and (ii) any material differences could have an adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations in the period or periods for which determination is made.

 

We are not subject to Sarbanes-Oxley regulation and lack the financial controls and safeguards required of public companies.

 

We do not have the internal infrastructure necessary, and are not required to complete an attestation about our financial controls that would be required under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. There can be no assurances that there are no significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in the quality of our financial controls. We expect to incur additional expenses and diversion of management’s time if and when it becomes necessary to perform the system and process evaluation, testing, and remediation required in order to comply with the management certification and auditor attestation requirements.

 

Changes in employment laws or regulations could harm our performance.

 

Various federal and state labor laws govern the Company’s relationship with our employees and affect operating costs, including labor laws of non-USA jurisdictions. These laws may include minimum wage requirements, overtime pay, healthcare reform and the implementation of various federal and state healthcare laws, unemployment tax rates, workers’ compensation rates, citizenship requirements, union membership and sales taxes. A number of factors could adversely affect our operating results, including additional government-imposed increases in minimum wages, overtime pay, paid leaves of absence and mandated health benefits, mandated training for employees, changing regulations from the National Labor Relations Board and increased employee litigation including claims relating to the Fair Labor Standards Act.

 

Our bank accounts will not be fully insured.

 

The Company’s regular bank accounts and the escrow account for this Offering each have federal insurance that is limited to a certain amount of coverage. It is anticipated that the account balances in each account may exceed those limits at times. In the event that any of the Company’s banks should fail, we may not be able to recover all amounts deposited in these bank accounts.

Our business plan is speculative.

 

Our present business and planned business are speculative and subject to numerous risks and uncertainties. There is no assurance that the Company will generate significant revenues or profits.

 

The Company will likely incur debt.

 

The Company has incurred debt in the past and expects to incur future debt in order to fund operations. Complying with obligations under such indebtedness may have a material adverse effect on the Company and on your investment.

 

Our expenses could increase without a corresponding increase in revenues.

 

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

  

We may be unable to maintain or enhance our brand image.

 

It is important that we maintain and enhance the image of our brand. The image and reputation of the Company’s brand may be impacted for various reasons, including litigation. Such concerns, even when unsubstantiated, could be harmful to the Company’s image and the reputation of its brand. From time to time, the Company may receive complaints from customers regarding products purchased from the Company. The Company may in the future receive correspondence from customers requesting reimbursement. Certain dissatisfied customers may threaten legal action against the Company if no reimbursement is made. Any resulting litigation could be costly for the Company, divert management attention, and could result in increased costs of doing business, or otherwise have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, and financial condition. Any negative publicity generated as a result of customer complaints about the Company’s products could damage the Company’s reputation and diminish the value of the Company’s brand, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, and financial condition, as well as your investment. Deterioration in the Company’s brand equity (brand image, reputation and product quality) may have a material adverse effect on its financial results as well as your investment.

 

Computer, website, or information system breakdown could negatively affect our business.

 

Computer, website and/or information system breakdowns as well as cyber security attacks could impair the Company’s ability to service its customers leading to reduced revenue from sales and/or reputational damage, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial results as well as your investment.

 

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 such events or occurrences could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial results and on your investment.

 

Additional financing may be necessary for the implementation of our growth strategy.

 

The Company may require additional debt and/or equity financing to pursue our growth and business strategies. These include but are not limited to enhancing our operating infrastructure and otherwise respond to competitive pressures. Given our limited operating history and existing losses, there can be no assurance that additional financing will be available, or, if available, that the terms will be acceptable to us. Lack of additional funding could force us to curtail substantially our growth plans. Furthermore, the issuance by us of any additional securities pursuant to any future fundraising activities undertaken by us would dilute the ownership of existing shareholders and may reduce the price of our Shares.

10

 

 

Our operating plan relies in large part upon assumptions and analyses developed by the Company. If these assumptions or analyses prove to be incorrect, the Company’s actual operating results may be materially different from our forecasted results.

 

Whether actual operating results and business developments will be consistent with the Company’s expectations and assumptions as reflected in its forecast depends on a number of factors, many of which are outside the Company’s control, including, but not limited to:

 

  whether the Company can obtain sufficient capital to sustain and grow its business
  our ability to manage the Company’s growth
  whether the Company can manage relationships with key vendors and advertisers
  demand for the Company’s products and services
  the timing and costs of new and existing marketing and promotional efforts and/or competition
  the Company’s ability to retain existing key management, to integrate recent hires and to attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel
  the overall strength and stability of domestic and international economies
  consumer spending habits

 

Unfavorable changes in any of these or other factors, most of which are beyond the Company’s control, could materially and adversely affect its business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

Our operations may not be profitable.

 

The Company may not be able to generate significant revenues in the future. In addition, we expect to incur substantial operating expenses in order to fund the expansion of our business. As a result, we may experience substantial negative cash flow for at least the foreseeable future and cannot predict when, or even if, the Company might become profitable.

 

We may be unable to manage our growth or implement our expansion strategy.

 

We may not be able to expand the Company’s product and service offerings, the Company’s markets, or implement the other features of our business strategy at the rate or to the extent presently planned. The Company’s projected growth will place a significant strain on our administrative, operational, and financial resources. If we are unable to successfully manage our future growth, establish and continue to upgrade our operating and financial control systems, recruit and hire necessary personnel or effectively manage unexpected expansion difficulties, our financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

 

Our business model is evolving.

 

Our business model is unproven and is likely to continue to evolve. Accordingly, our initial business model may not be successful and may need to be changed. Our ability to generate significant revenues will depend, in large part, on our ability to successfully market our products to potential users who may not be convinced of the need for our products and services or who may be reluctant to rely upon third parties to develop and provide these products. We intend to continue to develop our business model as the Company’s market continues to evolve.

 

The Company Needs to Increase Brand Awareness

 

Due to a variety of factors, our opportunity to achieve and maintain a significant market share may be limited. Developing and maintaining awareness of the Company’s brand name, among other factors, is critical. Further, the importance of brand recognition will increase as competition in the Company’s market increases. Successfully promoting and positioning our brand, products and services will depend largely on the effectiveness of our marketing efforts. Therefore, we may need to increase the Company’s financial commitment to create and maintain brand awareness. If we fail to successfully promote our brand name or if the Company incurs significant expenses promoting and maintaining our brand name, it will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations.

11

 

 

Our employees may engage in misconduct or improper activities.

 

The Company, like any business, is exposed to the risk of employee fraud or other misconduct. Misconduct by employees could include intentional failures to comply with laws or regulations, provide accurate information to regulators, comply with applicable standards, report financial information or data accurately or disclose unauthorized activities to the Company. In particular, sales, marketing and business arrangements are subject to extensive laws and regulations intended to prevent fraud, misconduct, kickbacks, self-dealing and other abusive practices. These laws and regulations may restrict or prohibit a wide range of pricing, discounting, marketing and promotion, sales commission, customer incentive programs and other business arrangements. Employee misconduct could also involve improper or illegal activities which could result in regulatory sanctions and serious harm to our reputation.

 

Limitation on director liability.

 

The Company may provide for the indemnification of directors to the fullest extent permitted by law and, to the extent permitted by such law, eliminate or limit the personal liability of directors to the Company and its shareholders for monetary damages for certain breaches of fiduciary duty. Such indemnification may be available for liabilities arising in connection with this Offering.

 

Risks Related to this Offering and Investment

 

We may undertake additional equity or debt financing that would dilute the shares in this offering.

 

The Company may undertake further equity or debt financing, which may be dilutive to existing shareholders, including you, or result in an issuance of securities whose rights, preferences and privileges are senior to those of existing shareholders, including you, and also reducing the value of Shares subscribed for under this Offering.

 

An investment in the Shares is speculative and there can be no assurance of any return on any such investment.

 

An investment in the Company’s Shares is speculative, and there is no assurance that investors will obtain any return on their investment. Investors will be subject to substantial risks involved in an investment in the Company, including the risk of losing their entire investment.

 

The Shares are offered on a “Best Efforts” basis, and we may not raise the Maximum Amount being offered.

 

Since we are offering the Shares on a “best efforts” basis, there is no assurance that we will sell enough Shares to meet our capital needs. If you purchase Shares in this Offering, you will do so without any assurance that we will raise enough money to satisfy the full Use Of Proceeds To Issuer which we have outlined in this Offering Circular or to meet our working capital needs.

 

If the maximum offering is not raised, it may increase the amount of long-term debt or the amount of additional equity we need to raise.

 

There is no assurance that the maximum number of Shares in this Offering will be sold. If the maximum Offering amount is not sold, we may need to incur additional debt or raise additional equity in order to finance our operations. Increasing the amount of debt will increase our debt service obligations and make less cash available for distribution to our shareholders. Increasing the amount of additional equity that we will have to seek in the future will further dilute those investors participating in this Offering.

 

New investors and old investors are likely to experience substantial dilution of their holdings if and when the holder of our $475,000 Convertible Note outstanding decided to convert some or all of the Note to the common stock of the Company.

 

It should be noted that on March 9, 2023, pursuant to an agreement to purchase the control block of JPEX at a future date in exchange exchange for a payment of $475,000 in Note Payable, secured and memorialized in a convertible note of $475,000. The convertible note could convert at the discretion of the holder at $0.0004 per share. It has a 2 years term with 12% interest rate. Both principal and interest payments are deferred until maturity, or whenever the Company decide to off the Note. At the request of the Noteholder, the Company is required to increase the number of shares it is authorized to issue to the amount needed to accommodate the conversion of the Note. The Company would experience additional dilutions if and when the holder of its 12% Convertible Notes chose to convert. Below is the analysis of the dilutive impact of such conversion of the $475,000 Note. The Note could be converted for a total of 1,187,500,000 of the Company’s common stock. 

12

 

 

We have not paid dividends in the past and do not expect to pay dividends in the future, so any return on investment may be limited to the value of our shares.

 

We have never paid cash dividends on our Shares and do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. The payment of dividends on our Shares will depend on earnings, financial condition and other business and economic factors affecting it at such time that management may consider relevant. If we do not pay dividends, our Shares may be less valuable because a return on your investment will only occur if its stock price appreciates.

 

We may not be able to obtain additional financing.

 

Even if we are successful in selling the maximum number of Shares in the Offering, we may require additional funds to continue and grow our business. We may not be able to obtain additional financing as needed, on acceptable terms, or at all, which would force us to delay our plans for growth and implementation of our strategy which could seriously harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. If we need additional funds, we may seek to obtain them primarily through additional equity or debt financing. Those additional financings could result in dilution to our current shareholders and to you if you invest in this Offering.

 

The offering price has been arbitrarily determined.

 

The offering price of the Shares has been arbitrarily established by us based upon our present and anticipated financing needs and bears no relationship to our present financial condition, assets, book value, projected earnings, or any other generally accepted valuation criteria. The offering price of the Shares may not be indicative of the value of the Shares or the Company, now or in the future.

 

The management of the Company has broad discretion in the application of proceeds.

 

The management of the Company has broad discretion to adjust the application and allocation of the net proceeds of this offering in order to address changed circumstances and opportunities. As a result of the foregoing, our success will be substantially dependent upon the discretion and judgment of the management of the Company with respect to the application and allocation of the net proceeds hereof.

 

An investment in our Shares could result in a loss of your entire investment.

 

An investment in the Company’s Shares offered in this Offering involves a high degree of risk and you should not purchase the Shares if you cannot afford the loss of your entire investment. You may not be able to liquidate your investment for any reason in the near future.

 

There is no assurance that we will be able to pay dividends to our Shareholders.

 

While we may choose to pay dividends at some point in the future to our shareholders, there can be no assurance that cash flow and profits will allow such distributions to ever be made.

 

Sales of a substantial number of shares of our stock may cause the price of our stock to decline.

 

If our shareholders sell substantial amounts of our Shares in the public market, Shares sold may cause the price to decrease below the current offering price. These sales may also make it more difficult for us to sell equity or equity related securities at a time and at a price that we deem reasonable or appropriate.

We have made assumptions in our projections and in Forward-Looking Statements that may not be accurate.

 

The discussions and information in this Offering Circular may contain both historical and “forward- looking statements” which can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology including the terms “believes,” “anticipates,” “continues,” “expects,” “intends,” “may,” “will,” “would,” “should,” or, in each case, their negative or other variations or comparable terminology. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include matters that are not historical facts. Forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainty because they relate to future events and circumstances. Forward-looking statements contained in this Offering Circular, based on past trends or activities, should not be taken as a representation that such trends or activities will continue in the future. To the extent that the Offering Circular contains forward-looking statements regarding the financial condition, operating results, business prospects, or any other aspect of our business, please be advised that our actual financial condition, operating results, and business performance may differ materially from that projected or estimated by us. We have attempted to identify, in context, certain of the factors we currently believe may cause actual future experience and results to differ from our current expectations. The differences may be caused by a variety of factors, including but not limited to adverse economic conditions, lack of market acceptance, reduction of consumer demand, unexpected costs and operating deficits, lower sales and revenues than forecast, default on leases or other indebtedness, loss of suppliers, loss of supply, loss of distribution and service contracts, price increases for capital, supplies and materials, inadequate capital, inability to raise capital or financing, failure to obtain customers, loss of customers, the risk of litigation and administrative proceedings involving the Company or its employees, loss of government licenses and permits or failure to obtain them, higher than anticipated labor costs, the possible acquisition of new businesses or products that result in operating losses or that do not perform as anticipated, resulting in unanticipated losses, the possible fluctuation and volatility of the Company’s operating results and financial condition, adverse publicity and news coverage, inability to carry out marketing and sales plans, loss of key executives, changes in interest rates, inflationary factors, and other specific risks that may be referred to in this Offering Circular or in other reports issued by us or by third-party publishers.

 

You should be aware of the long-term nature of this investment.

 

Because the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act or under the securities laws of any state or non-United States jurisdiction, the Shares may have certain transfer restrictions. It is not currently contemplated that registration under the Securities Act or other securities laws will be effected. Limitations on the transfer of the Shares may also adversely affect the price that you might be able to obtain for the Shares in a private sale. You should be aware of the long-term nature of your investment in the Company. You will be required to represent that you are purchasing the Securities for your own account, for investment purposes and not with a view to resale or distribution thereof.

 

The Shares in this Offering have no protective provisions.

 

The Shares in this Offering have no protective provisions. As such, you will not be afforded protection by any provision of the Shares or as a Shareholder in the event of a transaction that may adversely affect you, including a reorganization, restructuring, merger or other similar transaction involving the Company. If there is a ‘liquidation event’ or ‘change of control’ the Shares being offered do not provide you with any protection. In addition, there are no provisions attached to the Shares in the Offering that would permit you to require the Company to repurchase the Shares in the event of a takeover, recapitalization or similar transaction.

 

You will not have a significant influence on the management of the Company.

 

Substantially all decisions with respect to the management of the Company will be made exclusively by the officers, directors, managers, or employees of the Company. You will have a very limited ability, if at all, to vote on issues of Company management and will not have the right or power to take part in the management of the Company and will not be represented on the board of directors or by the managers of the Company. Accordingly, no person should purchase Shares unless he or she is willing to entrust all aspects of management to the Company.

 

There is no guarantee of any return on your investment.

 

There is no assurance that you will realize a return on your investment or that you will not lose your entire investment. For this reason, you should read this Offering Circular and all exhibits and referenced materials carefully and should consult with your own attorney and business advisor prior to making any investment decision.

Our Subscription Agreement identifies the state of Nevada for purposes of governing law.

 

The Company’s Subscription Agreement for shares issued under this Offering contains a choice of law provision stating, “all questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of the Offering Circular, including, without limitation, this [Subscription] Agreement, shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Nevada.” As such, excepting matters arising under federal securities laws, any disputes arising between the Company and shareholders acquiring shares under this offering shall be determined in accordance with the laws of the state of Nevada. Furthermore, the Subscription Agreement establishes the state and federal courts located in Nevada as having jurisdiction over matters arising between the Company and shareholders.

  

These provisions may discourage shareholder lawsuits or limit shareholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum in disputes with the Company and its directors, officers, or other employees.

 

 

IN ADDITION TO THE RISKS LISTED ABOVE, BUSINESSES ARE OFTEN SUBJECT TO RISKS NOT FORESEEN OR FULLY APPRECIATED BY THE MANAGEMENT. IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO FORESEE ALL THE RISKS THAT MAY AFFECT THE COMPANY. MOREOVER, THE COMPANY CANNOT PREDICT WHETHER THE COMPANY WILL SUCCESSFULLY EFFECTUATE THE COMPANY’S CURRENT BUSINESS PLAN. EACH PROSPECTIVE PURCHASER IS ENCOURAGED TO CAREFULLY ANALYZE THE RISKS AND MERITS OF AN INVESTMENT IN THE SECURITIES AND SHOULD TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION WHEN MAKING SUCH ANALYSIS, AMONG OTHER FACTORS, THE RISK FACTORS DISCUSSED ABOVE.

 

DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE

 

The Offering Price will be determined after qualification pursuant to Rule 253(b). The Offering Price will be arbitrarily determined and is not meant to reflect a valuation of the Company.

 

DILUTION

 

The term ‘dilution’ refers to the reduction (as a percentage of the aggregate Shares outstanding) that occurs for any given share of stock when additional Shares are issued. If all the Shares in this Offering are fully subscribed to and sold, the Shares offered herein will constitute approximately 84.8% of the total Shares of common stock of the Company. The Company anticipates that, subsequent to this Offering, the Company may require additional capital and such capital may take the form of Common Stock, other stock or securities or debt convertible into stock. Such future capital raising, or conversion of existing convertible debt or Preferred Stock will further dilute the percentage ownership of the Shares sold herein by the Company.

 

If you purchase shares in this Offering, your ownership interest in our Common Stock will be diluted immediately, to the extent of the difference between the price to the public charged for each share in this Offering and the net tangible book value per share of our Common Stock after this Offering.

 

Our historical net tangible book value as of December 31, 2022, was $(137,.34). Historical net tangible book value per share equals the amount of our total tangible assets, less total liabilities, divided by the total number of shares of our Common Stock outstanding, all as of the date specified. Net tangible book value per share is an estimate based on the net tangible book value as of December 31, 2022, and 1,672,692,586 shares of common stock outstanding as of the date of this Offering Circular.

 

The following table illustrates the per share dilution to new investors discussed above, assuming the sale of, respectively, 100%, 75%, 50% and 25% of the Shares offered for sale in this Offering (before deducting our estimated offering expenses of $25,000) at the maximum offering price of $0.004 per share:

 

Funding Level 100% 75% 50% 25%
Gross Proceeds $       16,000,000 $     12,000,000 $        8,000,000 $     4,000,000
Offering Price $                0.004 $               0.004 $                0.004 $            0.004
Net Tangible Book Value per Share of Common Stock before this Offering $        (0.000127) $        (0.000127) $        (0.000127) $    (0.000127)
Increase in Net Tangible Book Value per Share Attributable to New Investors in this Offering $         0.016444 $          0.015498 $          0.013900 $      0.010616
Net Tangible Book Value per Share of Common Stock after this Offering $          0.016317 $         0.015371 $         0.013773 $       0.010489
Dilution per share to Investors in the Offering $       (0.003683) $       (0.004629) $       (0.006227) $    (0.009511)

The Company used the upper end of the $0.0004 to $0.004 price range to estimate the aggregate offering price.

 

It should be noted that on March 9, 2023, pursuant to an agreement to purchase the control block of JPEX at a future date in exchange to cash payment of $475,000, secured and memorialized in a convertible note of $475,0000, Alpharidge agreed to sell and transfer control of JPEX to Kuldip Singh, Antonio Cesar Gruel, Jagandeep Kaur and Maria Guel (together referred to as “Mekaddesh Group”). The convertible note could convert at the discretion of the holder at $0.0004 per share. It has a 2 years term with 12% interest rate. Both principal and interest payments are deferred until maturity, or whenever the Company decide to off the Note. At the request of the Noteholder, the Company is required to increase the number of shares it is authorized to issue to the amount needed to accommodate the conversion of the Note.

The material terms of the $475,000 Convertible Note includes (1) Annual Interest of 12% payable at maturity in 24 months from date of issue, (2) Note is convertible into the Company’s common stock at $0.0004 per share, (3) until the total $475,000 and accrued interest is paid off, and the note has zero outstanding balance, note-holder receives 50% of all/any funds raised through any means including shares issuance, note issuance, or traditional borrowing from local banks, and (4) the note could be paid off at any time before maturity because it has no prepayment penalty.

 

The Company would experience additional dilutions if and when the holder of its 12% Convertible Notes chose to convert. Below is the analysis of the dilutive impact of such conversion of the $475,000 Note.

Funding Level 100% 75% 50% 25%
Gross Proceeds $16,000,000 $12,000,000 $8,000,000 $4,000,000
Offering Price $0.00400 $0.00400 $0.00400 $0.00400
Net Tangible Book Value per Share of Common Stock before this Offering Assuming the $475,000 Note was converted into 1,187,500,000 shares of common stock ($0.000074) ($0.000074) ($0.000074) ($0.000074)
Increase in Net Tangible Book Value per Share Attributable to New Investors in this Offering $0.00241 $0.00212 $0.00172 $0.00111
Net Tangible Book Value per Share of Common Stock after this Offering $0.00233 $0.00205 $0.00165 $0.00104
Dilution per share to Investors in the Offering ($0.00007) ($0.00007) ($0.00007) ($0.00007)

 

 

There is no material disparity between the price of the Shares in this Offering and the effective cash cost to officers, directors, promoters, and affiliated persons for shares acquired by them in a transaction during the past year, or that they have a right to acquire.

 

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

We are offering a Maximum Offering of up to $16,000,000 in Shares of Common Stock. The Offering is being conducted on a best-efforts basis without any minimum number of shares or amount of proceeds required to be sold. There is no minimum subscription amount required (other than a per investor minimum purchase) to distribute funds to the Company. The Company will not initially sell the Shares through commissioned broker-dealers but may do so after the commencement of the offering. Any such arrangement will add to our expenses in connection with the offering. If we engage one or more commissioned sales agents or underwriters, we will supplement this Form 1-A to describe the arrangement. Subscribers have no right to a return of their funds. The Company may terminate the offering at any time for any reason at its sole discretion and may extend the Offering past the termination date of 365 days from the date of qualification by the Commission in the absolute discretion of the Company and in accordance with the rules and provisions of Regulation A of the JOBS Act. None of the Shares being sold in this Offering are being sold by existing securities holders.

 

After the Offering Statement has been qualified by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), the Company will accept tenders of funds to purchase the Shares. No escrow agent is involved, and the Company will receive the proceeds directly from any subscription. You will be required to complete a subscription agreement in order to invest.

 

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 Chief Executive Officer 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 request by the purchaser; otherwise, purchasers’ shares will be noted and held on the book records of the Company.

16

 

 

The Company, by determination of the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, may issue the Securities under this Offering for cash, promissory notes, services, and/or other consideration without notice to subscribers.

 

At this time no broker-dealer registered with the SEC and a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”), is being engaged as an underwriter or for any other purpose in connection with this Offering. This Offering will commence on the qualification of this Offering Circular, as determined by the Securities and Exchange Commission and continue for a period of 365 days. The Company may extend the Offering for an additional time period unless the Offering is completed or otherwise terminated by us, or unless we are required to terminate by application of Regulation A of the JOBS Act. Funds received from investors will be counted towards the Offering only if the form of payment, such as a check or wire transfer, clears the banking system and represents immediately available funds held by us prior to the termination of the subscription period, or prior to the termination of the extended subscription period if extended by the Company.

 

This is an offering made under “Tier 1” of Regulation A, and the shares will not be listed on a registered national securities exchange upon qualification. Therefore, the shares will be sold only to a person if the aggregate purchase price paid by such person is no more than 10% of the greater of such person’s annual income or net worth, not including the value of his primary residence, as calculated under Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. In the case of sales to fiduciary accounts (Keogh Plans, Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) and Qualified Pension/Profit Sharing Plans or Trusts), the above suitability standards must be met by the fiduciary account, the beneficiary of the fiduciary account, or by the donor who directly or indirectly supplies the funds for the purchase of the shares. Investor suitability standards in certain states may be higher than those described in this Form 1-A and/or Offering Circular. These standards represent minimum suitability requirements for prospective investors, and the satisfaction of such standards does not necessarily mean that an investment in the Company is suitable for such people. Different rules apply to accredited investors.

 

Each investor must represent in writing that he/she/it meets the applicable requirements set forth above and in the Subscription Agreement, including, among other things, that (i) he/she/it is purchasing the shares for his/her/its own account and (ii) he/she/it has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that he/she/it is capable of evaluating without outside assistance the merits and risks of investing in the shares, or he/she/it and his/her/its purchaser representative together have such knowledge and experience that they are capable of evaluating the merits and risks of investing in the shares. Broker dealers and other people participating in the offering must make a reasonable inquiry in order to verify an investor’s suitability for an investment in the Company. Transferees of the shares will be required to meet the above suitability standards.

 

The shares may not be offered, sold, transferred, or delivered, directly or indirectly, to any person who (i) is named on the list of “specially designated nationals” or “blocked persons” maintained by the U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) at www.ustreas.gov/offices/enforcement/ofac/sdn or as otherwise published from time to time, (ii) an agency of the government of a Sanctioned Country, (iii) an organization controlled by a Sanctioned Country, or (iv) is a person residing in a Sanctioned Country, to the extent subject to a sanctions program administered by OFAC. A “Sanctioned Country” means a country subject to a sanctions program identified on the list maintained by OFAC and available at www.ustreas.gov/offices/enforcement/ofac/sdn or as otherwise published from time to time.

OTC Markets Considerations

 

The OTC Markets is separate and distinct from the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq stock market or other national exchanges. Neither the New York Stock Exchange nor Nasdaq has a business relationship with issuers of securities quoted on the OTC Markets. The SEC’s order handling rules, which apply to New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq-listed securities, do not apply to securities quoted on the OTC Markets.

 

Although 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 a 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 New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq-listed securities.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

Organization and History

 

JPX Global, Inc., (f.k.a. Jasper Explorations, Inc.) (the “Company”), was organized under the laws of the State of Nevada on December 18, 2008 as Jubilee Resources, Inc., to explore mineral properties in North America. The name of the Company was subsequently changed to Jasper Explorations, Inc. on December 16, 2010. The name of the Company was again changed on January 3, 2013 from Jasper Explorations, Inc. to JPX Global, Inc. The Company operation was historically focused on the development of waste management services including the storage, recycling, and disposal of waste. From 2017 to 2021, the Company had abandoned its business and failed to take steps to dissolve, liquidate and distribute its assets which resulted in its Nevada charter being revoked. The Company also failed to provide adequate current public information as defined in Rule 144, promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, and was thus subject to revocation by the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 12(k) of the Exchange Act.

 

On May 25, 2021, Alpharidge Capital LLC, a shareholder filed a petition for custodianship with the District Court, Clark County, Nevada and was appointed as the custodian of the Company on July 07, 2021.

 

On July 07, 2021, the Custodian appointed Ambrose O Egbuonu, who is associated to Alpharidge Capital, LLC., as the Company’s sole officer, secretary, treasurer and director.

 

On July 7, 2021, the Company filed a Certificate of Revival with the Secretary State of the State of Nevada, which reinstated the Company’s charter and appointed a new Resident Agent in Nevada.

 

On July 28, 2021, CED Capital, LLC. entered into a definite agreement to sell its control stake in the Company to Katee Capital with the purpose of combing JPEX with VeeMost Technologies LTD.

Following a notification of certain shareholders to show evidence of purchase of shares of of the Company or risk cancellation by the Court-Appointed Custodian or the current management of the Company. Mr. Hovendick, a beneficial shareholder was identified as owning: (a) 75,250,000 of the Common Stock; (b) 10,000,000 shares of the Series B Preferred, which constitute the total issued and outstanding of that class; and 1,000 share of the Series A Preferred, which constitute the total issued and outstanding of that class. In addition, Mr. Hovendick asserted a claim to $327,305 plus interest owed to him by the Company based on several dealings with the previous management of the Company several years ago. After some attempted negotiations, the Court-Appointed Custodian and the new board, believing that Mr. Hovendick’s shares were issued without consideration, resolved to cancel all shares of the Company owned by Mr. Hovendick because the board believed that the shares and the claimed debts were a result of certain failed acquisition by the Company and that Mr. Hovendick was partner with the previous management of the Company when the acquisition was made. Mr. Hovendick, having disagreed with the resolution of the Court-Appointed Custodian sued to assert his rights and reinstate his shares. While the lawsuit was going on, Veemost waited to have it resolved prior to continuing its planned merger. Then Mr. Hovendick obtained from the Court, a Temporal Restraining Order (TRO), that blocked the merger with Veemost. At which point, Veemost asked for a refund of the purchase prices which was promptly refunded, and Veemost walked away from the merger following the TRO.

On March 21, 2022, VeeMost Technologies LTD, announced its decision to walk away from consummating a proposed reverse merger with the Company. Previously, VeeMost Technologies LTD had purchased from CED Capital, LLC, the control preferred stock that carries a 60% controlling vote in all of the Company. CED Capital, LLC has promptly refunded to VeeMost Technologies LTD, the money it originally paid to purchase the shell. The reasons for VeeMost Technologies LTD’s decision could not be unrelated with certain lawsuit by Mr. Hovendick, a long-term control shareholder, who was granted an injunction blocking/preventing the completion of the merger between VeeMost Technologies LTD and JPX Global, Inc.

Upon Veemost’s decision to walk away, Alpharidge Capital refunded the purchase price to Veemost and took back the control of JPEX.

After several months of litigation, the Company and Mr. Hovendick reached a settlement as follows: (1) Company would reinstate Mr. Hovendick’s 75,250,000 shares of common stock; (2) Company would convert the 10,000,000 Series B Preferred Stock into 100,000,000 shares for common stock for Mr. Hovendick; (3) Mr. Hovendick would withdraw the asserted claim for $327,305 plus interest owed to him by the Company based on several dealings with the previous management of the Company several years ago; (4) Mr. Hovendick would surrender the 1,000 Series A Preferred to the company to cancel; and (3) Mr. Hovendick would dismiss the lawsuit and dissolve the TRO. The settlement agreement was executed, the lawsuit dismissed with prejudice, and the TRO dissolved.

 

On October 10, 2022, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with Mr. Hovendick, for the company to rescind the cancelation of Mr. Hovendick’s shares in the Company’s Common and Preferred stocks, and for Mr. Hovendick to withdraw/dismiss all litigation, convert his 10 million preferred B into 100 million of Common, surrender his 1,000 Preferred A for cancelation, and forfeit all indebtedness claim against the Company.

On October 10, 2022, subsequent to a settlement of a protracted lawsuit by a shareholder, the Company formally launched itself into the media and entertainment industry, becoming a holding company for a multi-media entertainment platform.

On March 9, 2023, pursuant to an agreement to purchase the control block of JPEX at a future date in exchange to cash payment of $475,000, secured and memorialized in a convertible note of $475,0000, Alpharidge agreed to sell and transfer control of JPEX to Kuldip Singh, Antonio Cesar Gruel, Jagandeep Kaur and Maria Guel (together referred to as “Mekaddesh Group”). The convertible note could convert at the discretion of the holder at $0.0004 per share. It has a 2 years term with 12% interest rate. Both principal and interest payments are deferred until maturity, or whenever the Company decide to off the Note. At the request of the Noteholder, the Company is required to increase the number of shares it is authorized to issue to the amount needed to accommodate the conversion of the Note.

The material terms of the $475,000 Convertible Note includes (1) Annual Interest of 12% payable at maturity in 24 months from date of issue, (2) Note is convertible into the Company’s common stock at $0.0004 per share, (3) until the total $475,000 and accrued interest is paid off, and the note has zero outstanding balance, note-holder receives 50% of all/any funds raised through any means including shares issuance, note issuance, or traditional borrowing from local banks, and (4) the note could be paid off at any time before maturity because it has no prepayment penalty.

It is management’s opinion that these matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of twelve months from the issuance date of this report. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon management’s ability to further implement its business plan and raise additional capital as needed from the sales of stock or issuance of debt.

Mekaddesh presently has about 12 broadcasting licenses that it needs to build out. Mekaddesh is presently working to create a Radio and TV Stations platform for the independent production of programs, such as soap operas, movies, and news. It plans on presenting high-tech studio digital platforms in major cities in the United States.

 

Mekaddesh goal for 2023 is to finish the construction of 12 television Stations with 6-8 Channel independent broadcasting programs on each station. In addition, by 2024, he Company’s goal is to build at least 20 television Stations combined with high power FM stations in the most important cities within the territory of the United States. Thereafter, by 2025 it plans to acquire properties to build own communication towers, and thus become completely independent from leasing properties, and at that point, to start providing space for television and radio stations.

 

Mekaddesh Group Corporation, is a multi-faceted company, with the potential to branch into new venues as the company grows. There are currently three phases to development of Television Stations. Beginning with our first phase, development in this Phase is to include five Radio and twelve Television station. We have Permits to start and operate TV Stations in 12 major cities of US. In first phase we will have these stations on air, after compilation of this work we can generate enough revenue to assist in the growth of two other Phases; Construction of Towers for Antenna’s and Studio’s for Stations in our second phase. However, we will need additional funding to accomplish this plan.

 

The following contains results of operations data for fiscal years 2022 and 2021, and the dollar and percentage variances among those years:

 

Net Sales. Net revenue in 2022 was $1,984,947 which was increased by 345% over $445,745 in 2021. The increase in revenue was due mainly to increase in operating activities in our 4 radio stations. While 2021 like any startup year was difficult for Mekaddesh, its Radio Stations generated $445,745 in revenue from the above mentioned four areas.

But activities has picked up since then leading to a better year in 2022 in which Mekaddesh generated $1,984,947 in operating revenue and gross profit of $1,144707. Compared to the operating activities of 2021, by 2022, we have hired an experienced team of engineers and support staff to help us generate revenue from: (1) Rental Income of operating Radio Stations in different cities; (2) Sale of advertising from 4 Radio Stations we are operating/programing; (3)From our Clients to whom we provide installation and maintenance services for their radio stations; and (4) For the Consultancy for legal modifications, upgrade and engineering before the FCC. Thus, having ensuring adequate staffing, Mekaddesh increased of list of clients to whom we provide consultancy services and also increase in operation of Radio Stations.

 

Gross Profit.  The gross profit in 2022 was $1,144,707 which was increased by 414% over $222,545 in 2021 primarily due to revenue increase and economy of scale, utilizing same operating resources to generate higher revenue while maintaining operating margins.

 

Selling, General & Administrative Expense (“SG&A”).  SG&A in 2022 was $636,455 which was increased by 214% over $202,841 in 2021. As a percentage of revenue, it was flat year over year at 13.44%. SG&A increased due to increased operating activities.

 

Operating Profit. Operating profit increased to $508,252 in 2022 from $19,705 in 2021 due to a higher revenue and gross profit while SG&A was consistent with the previous year.

Impact of Inflation

 

In 2022 and 2021, we experienced increases in product and labor costs due in part to higher rates of inflation, particularly to the global supply chain as well as our own internal supply chain. In 2022, higher rates of inflation affected the costs of building materials for maintenance.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Current Financial Condition

 

We currently have $42,883 in cash. We believe that our financial condition in operating existing locations is sufficient, but we will need additional capital for expansion.

 

Cash Flows

Cash flows from operating activities. We generated approximately $313,234 of cash flows from operating activities in 2022, an increase of $308,058 compared to 2021 because of high revenue and operating income.

 

Cash flows used in investing activities. We used approximately $20,352,410 of cash on investing activities in 2022, an increase of $19,842,450 compared to 2021 usage of $509,960 because of higher investing activities.

 

Cash flows from financing activities. We generated approximately $19,853,279 of cash flow from financing activities compared to $616,061 generated in 2021.

 

 

Financial Risk Management

 

We do not have financial derivatives or contracts that may impact our operations.

 

Interest Rate Risk

 

We do not have a debt or payable with a variable interest rate. Hence, we currently do not have an interest rate risk that would directly impact our operations.

 

Radio and Television Industry Trends

 

The Radio and Television industry has proven to be recession resistant. As a result, the market trend of the industry is very consistent year over year. While poor economic conditions tend to generate a temporary increase in demand within the Radio and Television industry, the normalized market trend is flat. Post-pandemic, we believe the demand trend will be similar to pre-pandemic conditions; although, recent hyperinflation has increased the number of new customers while repeating customers stayed the same.

 

 

The Company evaluated subsequent events that have occurred after the balance sheet date of December 31, 2022, and up through the date of this Offering Circular. There are two types of subsequent events: (i) recognized, or those that provide additional evidence with respect to conditions that existed at the date of the balance sheet, including the estimates inherent in the process of preparing financial statements, and (ii) non-recognized, or those that provide evidence with respect to conditions that did not exist at the date of the balance sheet but arose subsequent to that date. The Company has determined that there are no additional events that would require adjustment to or disclosure in the attached financial statements.

Twelve Months Plan of Operations

 

There are currently three phases to our development of Television Stations. Beginning with our first phase, development in this Phase is to include five Radio and twelve Television station. We have Permits to start and operate TV Stations in 12 major cities of US. In first phase we will have these stations on air, after compilation of this work we can generate enough revenue to assist in the growth of two other Phases; Construction of Towers for Antenna’s and Studio’s for Stations in our second phase. However, we will need additional funding to accomplish this plan.

With about $42,883 in cash on hand, during the first stages of our business plan execution (until we raise $4 million or more), our officers and directors without pay, will provide all of the labor required to execute our business plan at our current location. Our officers will be devoting at least 15 hours per week to our operations. Depending on how much funds we would be able to secure, we also plan to start the First Phase of constructing twelve digital Television Stations, each TV Station will be able to relay/broadcast on 6 to 8 live local channels at one time. Our efforts will be to lease the available channels to national clients and we will generate the revenue needed to allow us flexibility in accepting other projects more commonly associated with a Radio and Television broadcasting industry. Once we reach this threshold (raising $4 million), our officers have agreed to commit more time as required, plus additional stuff could be hired to execute our business plan.

The Second & Third Phase Mekaddesh Group Corporation, will provide/construct high rise Towers to install transmitter antenna in all cities and towns where Mekaddesh have and plans to build Television/Radio Stations. specialized production on a wide range of hand-picked projects, depending upon the needs and demands of projects. This division will lease tower space to various Media companies for their broadcasting and wireless communication use of local interests. We will develop this division into a self-sufficient branch within the first two years.

We believe that the next twelve months would be devoted to the first phase of our business plan. Thereafter, we’ll move into the Second phase. The Second & Third Phase Mekaddesh Group Corporation, will provide/construct high rise Towers to install transmitter antenna in all cities and towns where Mekaddesh have and plans to build Television/Radio Stations. specialized production on a wide range of hand-picked projects, depending upon the needs and demands of projects. This division will lease tower space to various Media companies for their broadcasting and wireless communication use of local interests. We will develop this division into a self-sufficient branch within the first two years.

We have not entered into a binding agreement with the builders or contractors that would handle the building of these 6to8 stations. There is no assurance that we would be able to start the construction or to raise the necessary capital for the construction. While we are trying to raise capital through this offering, the market may change substantially to render our assumptions and this business plan unworkable and nonviable. Moreover, there can be no assurance that we will be able to raise the capital necessary to built out the Television Stations businesses or other parts of our business plan.

 

27

 

Within the next twelve months, we intend to use the first $4 million we could raise to hire employees and engage contractors to build and manage the Television Stations.

 

We intend to implement the following tasks within the next twelve months:

 

  1. Month 1-3: Phase 1 (1-3 months in duration; $600,000 to $1 million in estimated fund receipt)
    1. Hire Contractor to commence building the TV Stations, hire 2 Accountants, Operations Manager, officer manager and a clerical staff to implement our business plan.
    2. Secure the lands, facilities and needed permits to commence the building of the TV Stations;
    3. Acquire and consolidate the operations of all four businesses.
  2. Month 3-6 Phase 2 (1-3 months in duration; quality control, process establishment, admin & mngt.).
    1. Sign contracts to commence the building of the TV Stations;
    2. Establish accounting and finance systems, synchronization of their operating systems, and human resources functions.
    3. Sell additional $4 million of offering and use the proceeds to effectuate our business plan.
    4. Complete and file quarterly reports and other required filings for the quarter
  3. Month 6-9: Phase 3 (1-3 months in duration; $4 million in estimated fund receipt)
    1. Monitor work-in-progress on building of the TV Stations.
    2. Launch the media component of the business plan
  4. Month 9-12: Phase 4 (1-3 months duration; $4 million in estimated fund receipt)
    1. Start running the businesses, generating revenue, giving employees a conducive and friendly workplace and add value to investors and shareholders by identifying and executing growth strategies
  5. The minimum funding needed by the Company for operating expenses during the next twelve months is $566,000 which is distributed as follows:
    1. For the six months through February 28, 2024, we anticipate to incur general and other operating expenses of $238,000.
    2. For the six months through August 31, 2024 we anticipate to incur additional general and other operating expenses of $328,000.
    3. We intend to fund these operating expenses using cashflow from current operations.

As noted above, the execution of our current plan of operations requires us to raise significant additional capital immediately. If we are successful in raising capital through the sale of shares offered for sale in this Offering Circular we believe that the Company will have sufficient cash resources to fund its plan of operations for the next twelve months. If we are unable to do so, our ability to continue as a going concern will be in jeopardy, likely causing us to curtail and possibly cease operations.

 

We continually evaluate our plan of operations discussed above to determine the manner in which we can most effectively utilize our limited cash resources. The timing of completion of any aspect of our plan of operations is highly dependent upon the availability of cash to implement that aspect of the plan and other factors beyond our control. There is no assurance that we will successfully obtain the required capital or revenues, or, if obtained, that the amounts will be sufficient to fund our ongoing operations. The inability to secure additional capital would have a material adverse effect on us, including the possibility that we would have to sell or forego a portion or all of our assets or cease operations. If we discontinue our operations, we will not have sufficient funds to pay any amounts to our stockholders.

 

Because our working capital requirements depend upon numerous factors there can be no assurance that our current cash resources will be sufficient to fund our operations. At present, we have no committed external sources of capital, and do not expect any significant service revenues for the foreseeable future. Thus, we will require immediate additional financing to fund future operations. There can be no assurance, however, that we will be able to obtain funds on acceptable terms, if at all.

 

Credit Facilities and Accounts Payable

 

We do not have any credit facilities or other access to bank credit. We do not have any trade account that could allow us to purchase supplies and equipment on credit as at June 30, 2023.

 

28

 

Capital Expenditures

 

We do not have any contractual obligations for ongoing capital expenditures at this time. We may, however, purchase lands, real properties, equipment and software necessary to conduct our TV and Radio operations on an as needed basis.

 

Contractual Obligations, Commitments and Contingencies

 

As of the date of this Offering Circular, we do not have any contractual obligations, commitments or contingencies.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We did not have during the periods presented, and we do not currently have, any off-balance sheet arrangements.

 

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

As a company that intend to provide entertainment and related services to audience across the United States, we may typically be exposed to market risk of the sort that may arise from changes in interest rates. However, since we have not started our planned TV Station buildout, we are not exposed to market risk of the sort that may arise from changes in interest rates or foreign currency exchange rates, or that may otherwise arise from transactions in derivatives.

 

Contingencies

 

Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company, but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company's management, in consultation with its legal counsel as appropriate, assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company, in consultation with legal counsel, evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims, as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein. If the assessment of a contingency indicates it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company's financial statements. If the assessment indicates a potentially material loss contingency is not probable, but is reasonably possible, or is probable, but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss, if determinable and material, would be disclosed. Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed.

 

Relaxed Ongoing Reporting Requirements

 

Upon the completion of this Offering, we may elect to become a public reporting company under the Exchange Act. If we elect to do so, we will be required to publicly report on an ongoing basis as an “emerging growth company” (as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, which we refer to as the “JOBS Act”) under the reporting rules set forth under the Exchange Act. As defined in the JOBS Act, an emerging growth company is defined as a company with less than $1.0 Billion in revenue during its last fiscal year. An emerging growth company may take advantage of specified reduced reporting and other burdens that are otherwise applicable generally to public companies.

 

For so long as we remain an “emerging growth company,” we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other Exchange Act reporting companies that are not “emerging growth companies,” including but not limited to:

 

  not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act;

 

  taking advantage of extensions of time to comply with certain new or revised financial accounting standards;

  

  being permitted to comply with reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements; and

 

  being exempt from the requirement to hold a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

 

If we are required to publicly report under the Exchange Act as an “emerging growth company”, we expect to take advantage of these reporting exemptions until we are no longer an emerging growth company. We would remain an “emerging growth company” for up to five years, though if the market value of our Common Stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million, we would cease to be an “emerging growth company”.

 

If we elect not to become a public reporting company under the Exchange Act, we will be required to publicly report on an ongoing basis under the reporting rules set forth in Regulation A for Tier 2 issuers. The ongoing reporting requirements under Regulation A are more relaxed than for “emerging growth companies” under the Exchange Act. The differences include, but are not limited to, being required to file only annual and semi-annual reports, rather than annual and quarterly reports. Annual reports are due within one hundred twenty (120) calendar days after the end of the issuer's fiscal year, and semi-annual reports are due within ninety (90) calendar days after the end of the first six (6) months of the issuer's fiscal year.

Ms. Guel has extensive experience in management of Radio, TV and broadcasting operations. From May 2019 to Present Ms. Guel has held various management positions in her family businesses. She began her career in the broadcasting field at a very young age. She remembers that when she was about 14 years old she saw her father Antonio Cesar Guel working on engineering studies on his computer. Many times, she got to see him working on different projects late at night. She became interested and curious of being on a microphone but did not feel qualified to speak through it at the time. Moreover, Maria was always very independent and wanted to try different job opportunities. As a teenager she didn’t see herself working in the broadcast field because she did not see the vision just yet. She told her father that she will try to work in other places. So, from the age of 14, Maria started to work in different places such as in marketing companies and various food restaurants all the way to the age of 16. It was a good experience for her, but every day that passed she knew she had a bigger purpose in her life. Furthermore, her father’s company began to grow and had several employees working for him. So, he invited Maria to help in the reception area at the office and begun a part-time as receptionist. In addition, she begun to have an interest in her father’s business. She began to get more and more involved each day. Time passed and when she was 18 years of age she graduated from high school and made the decision to study a career that would be able to help her family in the company. She observed how her father worked with lawyers and engineers, so little by little she got involved in legal matters by helping to translate contracts and being the intermediary with clients to give them follow-up with ongoing construction projects to put stations on air, whether it was radio or television stations. Moreover, Maria made the decision to study in the paralegal and business administration field since this was related to what was carried out in the company. As time passed Maria had more and more responsibilities, so at the age of 25 she was named president and director of Hispanic Family Christian Network, Inc. Therefore after the Guel family founded LMO Christian Media, Elohim Group Corporation and finally Mekaddesh Group Corporation.

In addition, such holders are entitled to receive ratably such dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by our board of directors out of legally available funds, subject to the payment of preferential dividends or other restrictions on dividends contained in any Preferred Stock Designation, including, without limitation, the Preferred Stock Designation establishing a series of preferred stock described above. In the event of the dissolution, liquidation or winding up of JPX Global, Inc., the holders of our common stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining after payment of all our liabilities, subject to the preferential distribution rights granted to the holders of any series of our preferred stock in any Preferred Stock Designation, including, without limitation, the Preferred Stock Designation establishing a series of our preferred stock described above.

 

The holders of the common stock do not have cumulative voting rights or preemptive rights to acquire or subscribe for additional, unissued or treasury shares in accordance with the laws of the State of Nevada. Accordingly, excluding any voting rights granted to any series of our preferred stock, the holders of more than 50 percent of the issued and outstanding shares of the common stock voting for the election of directors can elect all of the directors if they choose to do so, and in such event, the holders of the remaining shares of the common stock voting for the election of the directors will be unable to elect any person or persons to the board of directors. All outstanding shares of the common stock are fully paid and nonassessable.

  

The laws of the State of Nevada provide that the affirmative vote of a majority of the holders of the outstanding shares of our common stock and any series of our preferred stock entitled to vote thereon is required to authorize any amendment to our articles of incorporation, any merger or consolidation of JPX Global, Inc. with any corporation, or any liquidation or disposition of any substantial assets of JPX Global, Inc.

 

Preferred Stock

 

The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock par value of $0.001 per share. Total issued Preferred Stock is five (5) shares designated as Series A Preferred (“Series A”).

 

Series A

 

The Series A Preferred shares (a) rank senior, with respect to liquidation, winding up or dissolution to all other classes of stock; (b) rank senior to any future designation of preferred stock; (c) maintain at least 60% of the voting interest of the Company on an as-converted and fully diluted basis; and (d) convert into 2,000,000,000 shares of common stock per Series A share.

SECURITIES BEING OFFERED

 

The Company is offering Shares of its Common Stock. Except as otherwise required by law, in the Company’s Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws, each Shareholder shall be entitled to one vote for each Share held by such Shareholder on the record date of any vote of Shareholders of the Company. The Shares of Common Stock, when issued, will be fully paid and non-assessable.

 

The Company does not expect to create any additional classes of Common Stock during the next 12 months, but the Company is not limited from creating additional classes which may have preferred dividend, voting and/or liquidation rights or other benefits not available to holders of its common stock.

 

The Company does not expect to declare dividends for holders of Common Stock in the foreseeable future. Dividends will be declared, if at all (and subject to the rights of holders of additional classes of securities, if any), at the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors. Dividends, if ever declared, may be paid in cash, in property, or in shares of the capital stock of the Company, subject to the provisions of law, the Company’s Bylaws and the Certificate of Incorporation. Before payment of any dividend, there may be set aside out of any funds of the Company available for dividends such sums as the Board of Directors, in its absolute discretion, deems proper as a reserve for working capital, to meet contingencies, for equalizing dividends, for repairing or maintaining any property of the Company, or for such other purposes as the Board of Directors shall deem in the best interests of the Company.

 

Because this is a best-efforts offering, there is no minimum number of Shares that need to be sold in order for funds to be released to the Company and for this Offering to hold its first closing.

 

The minimum subscription that will be accepted from an investor is $1,000 (the ‘Minimum Subscription’).

 

A subscription for $1,000 or more in the Shares may be made only by tendering to the Company the executed Subscription Agreement (electronically or in writing) delivered with the subscription price in a form acceptable to the Company, via check, wire, credit or debit card, or ACH. The execution and tender of the documents required, as detailed in the materials, constitutes a binding offer to purchase the number of Shares stipulated therein and an agreement to hold the offer open until the Expiration Date or until the offer is accepted or rejected by the Company, whichever occurs first.

 

The Company reserves the unqualified discretionary right to reject any subscription for Shares, in whole or in part. The Company reserves the unqualified discretionary right to accept any subscription for Shares, in an amount less than the Minimum Subscription. If the Company rejects any offer to subscribe for the Shares, it will return the subscription payment, without interest or reduction. The Company’s acceptance of your subscription will be effective when an authorized representative of the Company issues you written or electronic notification that the subscription was accepted.

 

There are no liquidation rights, preemptive rights, conversion rights, redemption provisions, sinking fund provisions, impacts on classification of the Board of Directors where cumulative voting is permitted or required related to the Common Stock, provisions discriminating against any existing or prospective holder of the Common Stock as a result of such Shareholder owning a substantial amount of securities, or rights of Shareholders that may be modified otherwise than by a vote of a majority or more of the shares outstanding, voting as a class defined in any corporate document as of the date of filing. The Common Stock will not be subject to further calls or assessment by the Company. There are no restrictions on alienability of the Common Stock in the corporate documents other than those disclosed in this Offering Circular. The Company has engaged Pacific Stock Transfer Co. to serve as the transfer agent and registrant for the Shares. For additional information regarding the Shares, please review the Company’s Bylaws, which are attached to this Offering Circular.

 

Excepting matters arising under federal securities laws, any disputes between the Company and shareholders shall be governed in reliance on the laws of the state of Nevada. Furthermore, the Subscription Agreement for this Regulation A offering appoints the state and federal courts located in the state of Nevada as having jurisdiction over any disputes related to this Regulation A offering between the Company and shareholders.

 

Transfer Agent

 

Our transfer agent is Pacific Stock Transfer Co., 6725 Via Austi Parkway, Suite 300, Las Vegas, NV 89119. The transfer agent is registered under the Exchange Act and operates under the regulatory authority of the SEC and FINRA.

DISQUALIFYING EVENTS DISCLOSURE

 

Recent changes to Regulation A promulgated under the Securities Act prohibit an issuer from claiming an exemption from registration of its securities under such rule if the issuer, any of its predecessors, any affiliated issuer, any director, executive officer, other officer participating in the offering of the interests, general partner or managing member of the issuer, any beneficial owner of 20% or more of the voting power of the issuer’s outstanding voting equity securities, any promoter connected with the issuer in any capacity as of the date hereof, any investment manager of the issuer, any person that has been or will be paid (directly or indirectly) remuneration for solicitation of purchasers in connection with such sale of the issuer’s interests, any general partner or managing member of any such investment manager or solicitor, or any director, executive officer or other officer participating in the offering of any such investment manager or solicitor or general partner or managing member of such investment manager or solicitor has been subject to certain “Disqualifying Events” described in Rule 506(d)(1) of Regulation D subsequent to September 23, 2013, subject to certain limited exceptions. The Company is required to exercise reasonable care in conducting an inquiry to determine whether any such persons have been subject to such Disqualifying Events and is required to disclose any Disqualifying Events that occurred prior to September 23, 2013, to investors in the Company. The Company believes that it has exercised reasonable care in conducting an inquiry into Disqualifying Events by the foregoing persons and is aware of the no such Disqualifying Events.

 

It is possible that (a) Disqualifying Events may exist of which the Company is not aware and (b) the SEC, a court or other finder of fact may determine that the steps that the Company has taken to conduct its inquiry were inadequate and did not constitute reasonable care. If such a finding were made, the Company may lose its ability to rely upon exemptions under Regulation A, and, depending on the circumstances, may be required to register the Offering of the Company’s Common Stock with the SEC and under applicable state securities laws or to conduct a rescission offer with respect to the securities sold in the Offering.

 

ERISA CONSIDERATIONS

 

Trustees and other fiduciaries of qualified retirement plans or IRAs that are set up as part of a plan sponsored and maintained by an employer, as well as trustees and fiduciaries of Keogh Plans under which employees, in addition to self-employed individuals, are participants (together, “ERISA Plans”), are governed by the fiduciary responsibility provisions of Title 1 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”). An investment in the Shares by an ERISA Plan must be made in accordance with the general obligation of fiduciaries under ERISA to discharge their duties (i) for the exclusive purpose of providing benefits to participants and their beneficiaries; (ii) with the same standard of care that would be exercised by a prudent man familiar with such matters acting under similar circumstances; (iii) in such a manner as to diversify the investments of the plan, unless it is clearly prudent not do so; and (iv) in accordance with the documents establishing the plan. Fiduciaries considering an investment in the Shares should accordingly consult their own legal advisors if they have any concern as to whether the investment would be inconsistent with any of these criteria.

 

Fiduciaries of certain ERISA Plans which provide for individual accounts (for example, those which qualify under Section 401(k) of the Code, Keogh Plans and IRAs) and which permit a beneficiary to exercise independent control over the assets in his individual account, will not be liable for any investment loss or for any breach of the prudence or diversification obligations which results from the exercise of such control by the beneficiary, nor will the beneficiary be deemed to be a fiduciary subject to the general fiduciary obligations merely by virtue of his exercise of such control. On October 13, 1992, the Department of Labor issued regulations establishing criteria for determining whether the extent of a beneficiary’s independent control over the assets in his account is adequate to relieve the ERISA Plan’s fiduciaries of their obligations with respect to an investment directed by the beneficiary. Under the regulations, the beneficiary must not only exercise actual, independent control in directing the particular investment transaction, but also the ERISA Plan must give the participant or beneficiary a reasonable opportunity to exercise such control and must permit him to choose among a broad range of investment alternatives.

 

Trustees and other fiduciaries making the investment decision for any qualified retirement plan, IRA or Keogh Plan (or beneficiaries exercising control over their individual accounts) should also consider the application of the prohibited transactions provisions of ERISA and the Code in making their investment decision. Sales and certain other transactions between a qualified retirement plan, IRA or Keogh Plan and certain persons related to it (e.g., a plan sponsor, fiduciary, or service provider) are prohibited transactions. The particular facts concerning the sponsorship, operations and other investments of a qualified retirement plan, IRA or Keogh Plan may cause a wide range of persons to be treated as parties in interest or disqualified persons with respect to it. Any fiduciary, participant or beneficiary considering an investment in Shares by a qualified retirement plan IRA or Keogh Plan should examine the individual circumstances of that plan to determine that the investment will not be a prohibited transaction. Fiduciaries, participants or beneficiaries considering an investment in the Shares should consult their own legal advisors if they have any concern as to whether the investment would be a prohibited transaction.

 

Regulations issued on November 13, 1986, by the Department of Labor (the “Final Plan Assets Regulations”) provide that when an ERISA Plan or any other plan covered by Code Section 4975 (e.g., an IRA or a Keogh Plan which covers only self-employed persons) makes an investment in an equity interest of an entity that is neither a “publicly offered security” nor a security issued by an investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the underlying assets of the entity in which the investment is made could be treated as assets of the investing plan (referred to in ERISA as “plan assets”). Programs which are deemed to be operating companies or which do not issue more than 25% of their equity interests to ERISA Plans are exempt from being designated as holding “plan assets.” Management anticipates that we would clearly be characterized as “operating” for the purposes of the regulations, and that it would therefore not be deemed to be holding “plan assets.”

35

 

 

Classification of our assets as “plan assets” could adversely affect both the plan fiduciary and management. The term “fiduciary” is defined generally to include any person who exercises any authority or control over the management or disposition of plan assets. Thus, classification of our assets as plan assets could make the management a “fiduciary” of an investing plan. If our assets are deemed to be plan assets of investor plans, transactions which may occur in the course of its operations may constitute violations by the management of fiduciary duties under ERISA. Violation of fiduciary duties by management could result in liability not only for management but also for the trustee or other fiduciary of an investing ERISA Plan. In addition, if our assets are classified as “plan assets,” certain transactions that we might enter into in the ordinary course of our business might constitute “prohibited transactions” under ERISA and the Code.

 

Under Code Section 408(i), as amended by the Tax Reform Act of 1986, IRA trustees must report the fair market value of investments to IRA holders by January 31 of each year. The Service has not yet promulgated regulations defining appropriate methods for the determination of fair market value for this purpose. In addition, the assets of an ERISA Plan or Keogh Plan must be valued at their “current value” as of the close of the plan’s fiscal year in order to comply with certain reporting obligations under ERISA and the Code. For purposes of such requirements, “current value” means fair market value where available. Otherwise, current value means the fair value as determined in good faith under the terms of the plan by a trustee or other named fiduciary, assuming an orderly liquidation at the time of the determination. We do not have an obligation under ERISA or the Code with respect to such reports or valuation although management will use good faith efforts to assist fiduciaries with their valuation reports. There can be no assurance, however, that any value so established (i) could or will actually be realized by the IRA, ERISA Plan or Keogh Plan upon sale of the Shares or upon liquidation of us, or (ii) will comply with the ERISA or Code requirements.

 

The income earned by a qualified pension, profit sharing or stock bonus plan (collectively, “Qualified Plan”) and by an individual retirement account (“IRA”) is generally exempt from taxation. However, if a Qualified Plan or IRA earns “unrelated business taxable income” (“UBTI”), this income will be subject to tax to the extent it exceeds $1,000 during any fiscal year. The amount of unrelated business taxable income in excess of $1,000 in any fiscal year will be taxed at rates up to 36%. In addition, such unrelated business taxable income may result in a tax preference, which may be subject to the alternative minimum tax. It is anticipated that income and gain from an investment in Shares will not be taxed as UBTI to tax exempt shareholders, because they are participating only as passive financing sources.

 

DIVIDEND POLICY

 

Subject to preferences that may be applicable to any then-outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, if any, and any other restrictions, holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive ratably those dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by our board of directors out of legally available funds. We and our predecessors have not declared any dividends in the past. Further, we do not presently contemplate that there will be any future payment of any dividends on Common Stock.

  

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

 

Prior to this Offering, there has been a limited market for our Common Stock on the OTC Markets. Future sales of substantial amounts of our Common Stock, or securities or instruments convertible into our Common Stock, in the public market, or the perception that such sales may occur, could adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock prevailing from time to time. Furthermore, because there will be limits on the number of shares available for resale shortly after this Offering due to contractual and legal restrictions described below, there may be resales of substantial amounts of our Common Stock in the public market after those restrictions lapse. This could adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock prevailing at that time.

 

Upon completion of this Offering, assuming the maximum number of shares of Common Stock offered in this Offering are sold, there will be 979,199,001 shares of our Common Stock outstanding.

 

36

 

Rule 144

 

In general, a person who has beneficially owned restricted shares of our Common Stock for at least twelve months, in the event we are a reporting company under Regulation A, or at least six months, in the event we have been a reporting company under the Exchange Act for at least 90 days before the sale, would be entitled to sell such securities, provided that such person is not deemed to be an affiliate of ours at the time of sale or to have been an affiliate of ours at any time during the 90 days preceding the sale. A person who is an affiliate of ours at such time would be subject to additional restrictions, by which such person would be entitled to sell within any three-month period only a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of the following:

 

  1% of the number of shares of our Common Stock then outstanding; or

 

  the average weekly trading volume of our Common Stock during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing by such person of a notice on Form 144 with respect to the sale;

 

provided that, in each case, we are subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act for at least 90 days before the sale. Rule 144 trades must also comply with the manner of sale, notice and other provisions of Rule 144, to the extent applicable.

We will return all monies from rejected subscriptions immediately to you, without interest or deduction.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2022 (Unaudited)

 

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Development Stage Company

JPX Global, Inc. (the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”), a Nevada corporation, has a fiscal year end of December 31 and is listed on the OTC Pink Markets under the trading symbol JPEX.

The Company had abandoned its business and failed to take steps to dissolve, liquidate and distribute its assets. It had also failed to meet the required reporting requirements with the Nevada Secretary of State, hold an annual meeting of stockholders and pay its annual franchise tax from 2018 to 2021 which resulted in its Nevada charter being revoked. The Company also failed to provide adequate current public information as defined in Rule 144, promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, and was thus subject to revocation by the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 12(k) of the Exchange Act. On June 09, 2021, a shareholder filed a petition for custodianship, with the District Court, Clark County, Nevada and was appointed as the custodian of the Company on July 07, 2021. The Company’s Nevada charter was reinstated on July 7, 2021, and all required reports were filed with the State of Nevada soon after. The Company remains active as of the date of this report and is currently taking steps to provide adequate current public information to meet the requirements under the Securities Act of 1933. The custodian was not able to recover any of the Company’s accounting records from previous management but was able to get the shareholder information hence the Company’s outstanding common shares were reflected in the equity section of the accompanying unaudited financial statements for fiscal year ended 2021, 2020 and 2018, and for the quarters ending December 31 and December 31, 2021.

JPX Global, Inc. (the “Company” or “JPX”) was incorporated under the laws of the state of Nevada on December 18, 2008. The Company operation was historically focused on the development of waste management services including the storage, recycling, and disposal of waste. The Company does not presently have any waste management operations.

 

The company incurred operating losses in 2018and other previous years resulting in accumulated deficit of $34,429,093 as at December 31, 2017. By February 01, 2019, the Company filed Form 15-15D with the SEC to terminate its reporting obligations under the 1934 Act. After their December 31, 2017 quarterly reports, filed on March 29, 2018, the Company stopped all forms of making public report of its operation and financial results.

 

On May 18, 2021, Alpharidge Capital, LLC, a shareholder of the Company, served a demand to the Company, at last address of record, to comply with the Nevada Secretary of State statues N.R.S. 78.710 and N.R.S. 78.150. On May 25, 2021, a petition was filed against the Company in the District Court of Clark County, Nevada, entitled “In the Matter of JPX Global, Inc., a Nevada corporation” under case number A-21-835979-C by Alpharidge Capital, LLC, along with an Application for Appointment of Custodian, after several attempts to get prior management to reinstate the Company’s Nevada charter, which had been revoked.

F-6

 

 

On July 07, 2021, the District Court of Clark County, Nevada entered an Order Granting Application for Appointment of Alpharidge Capital, LLC (the “Order”), as Custodian of the Company. Pursuant to the Order, the Alpharidge Capital, LLC (the “Custodian”) has the authority to take any actions on behalf of the Company, that are reasonable, prudent or for the benefit of pursuant to, including, but not limited to, issuing shares of stock and issuing new classes of stock, as well as entering in contracts on behalf of the Company. In addition, the Custodian, pursuant to the Order, is required to meet the requirements under the Nevada charter.

On July 07, 2021, pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement (SPA) the Custodian granted to Community Economic Development Capital, LLC. (CED Capital), 5 Series A preferred shares (convertible at 1 into 2,000,000,000 common shares, and super voting rights of all votes) in exchange for $35,000 which the Company used partly to fund the reinstatement of the Company with the State of Nevada, settlement of the Stock Transfer Agent’s balance. CED Capital also undertook to make all reasonable efforts to provide adequate current public information to meet the requirements under the Securities Act of 1933.

On July 07, 2021, the Custodian appointed Ambrose O Egbuonu, who is associated to Alpharidge Capital, LLC., as the Company’s sole officer, secretary, treasurer and director.

The purchaser of the 5 Series A preferred shares has control of the Company through super voting rights over all classes of stock and the 5 Series A preferred shares are convertible into 10,000,000,000 (5 Series A preferred shares multiplied by 2,000,000,000) shares of the Company’s common stock. However, the court appointed control still remains with the Custodian until the Custodian files a petition with the District Court of Clark County, Nevada to relinquish custodianship and control of the Company.

On July 7, 2021, the Company filed a Certificate of Revival with the Secretary State of the State of Nevada, which reinstated the Company’s charter and appointed a new Resident Agent in Nevada.

On July 28, 2021, CED Capital, LLC. entered into a definite agreement to sell its control stake in the Company to Katee Capital with the purpose of combing JPEX with VeeMost Technologies LTD.

Following a notification of certain shareholders to show evidence of purchase of shares of of the Company or risk cancellation by the Court-Appointed Custodian or the current management of the Company. Mr. Hovendick, a beneficial shareholder was identified as owning: (a) 75,250,000 of the Common Stock; (b) 10,000,000 shares of the Series B Preferred, which constitute the total issued and outstanding of that class; and 1,000 share of the Series A Preferred, which constitute the total issued and outstanding of that class. In addition, Mr. Hovendick asserted a claim to $327,305 plus interest owed to him by the Company based on several dealings with the previous management of the Company several years ago. After some attempted negotiations, the Court-Appointed Custodian and the new board resolved to cancel all shares of the Company owned by Mr. Hovendick because the board believed that the shares and the claimed debts were a result of failed acquisition by the Company and that Mr. Hovendick was partner with the previous management of the Company when the acquisition was made. Mr. Hovendick, having disagreed with the resolution of the Court-Appointed Custodian sued to assert his rights and reinstate his shares. While the lawsuit was going on, Veemost waited to have it resolved prior to continuing its planned merger. Then Mr. Hovendick obtained from the Court, a Temporal Restraining Order (TRO), that blocked the merger with Veemost. At which point, Veemost asked for a refund of the purchase prices which was promptly refunded, and Veemost walked away from the merger following the TRO.

F-7

 

On March 21, 2022, VeeMost Technologies LTD, announced its decision to walk away from consummating a proposed reverse merger with the Company. Previously, VeeMost Technologies LTD had purchased from CED Capital, LLC, the control preferred stock that carries a 60% controlling vote in all of the Company. CED Capital, LLC has promptly refunded to VeeMost Technologies LTD, the money it originally paid to purchase the shell. The reasons for VeeMost Technologies LTD’s decision could not be unrelated with certain lawsuit by Mr. Hovendick, a long-term control shareholder, who was granted an injunction blocking/preventing the completion of the merger between VeeMost Technologies LTD and JPX Global, Inc.

After several months of litigation, the Company and Mr. Hovendick reached a settlement as follows: (1) Company would reinstate Mr. Hovendick’s 75,250,000 shares of common stock; (2) Company would convert the 10,000,000 Series B Preferred Stock into 100,000,000 shares for common stock for Mr. Hovendick; (3) Mr. Hovendick would withdraw the asserted claim for $327,305 plus interest owed to him by the Company based on several dealings with the previous management of the Company several years ago; (4) Mr. Hovendick would surrender the 1,000 Series A Preferred to the company to cancel; and (3) Mr. Hovendick would dismiss the lawsuit and dissolve the TRO. The settlement agreement was executed, the lawsuit dismissed with prejudice, and the TRO dissolved.

 

On October 10, 2022, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with Mr. Hovendick, for the company to rescind the cancelation of Mr. Hovendick’s shares in the Company’s Common and Preferred stocks, and for Mr. Hovendick to withdraw/dismiss all litigation, convert his 10 million preferred B into 100 million of Common, surrender his 1,000 Preferred A for cancelation, and forfeit all indebtedness claim against the Company.

On October 10, 2022, subsequent to a settlement of a protracted lawsuit by a shareholder, the Company formally launched itself into the media and entertainment industry, becoming a holding company for a multi-media entertainment platform. Since October 10, 2022, in accordance with its business plan, the Company has devoted substantial energy, time and resources reviewing and rewriting agreements with partners, customers, vendors, and manufacturers, reviewing licenses and sublicense agreements with potential licensors, creating/evaluating contents, interviewing and hiring employees, and conducting research and due diligence on potential partners, Joint-ventures, and acquisitions in the entertainment industry.

On May 15, 2023, the Company closed an ALL-STOCK acquisition of Mekaddesh Group Corporation (MGC), a Dallas, Texas, entertainment operation formed in 2015 to operate and promote TV and radio stations for Hispanic programming. MGC’s current programming includes: Alcance, Radio La Tremenda, Radio Mana, Unimax Television Al Maximo, El Buen Samaratino, and Un Tiempo En Su Presencia.

There are no guarantees and the Company is providing NO assurance that it could efficiently manage the the integration of the businesses and improve their operations to improve their revenue or operating income generation. Although the staff of the acquired businesses would join our operating staff, there are NO guarantees that any synergy would be created or improved operation derived from this acquisition.

NOTE 2 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND GOING CONCERN

Basis of Presentation

The Company has earned insignificant 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.

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 $34,429,093 as of December 31, 2022. The Company intends to commence operations as set out below and raise the necessary funds to carry out the aforementioned strategies. The Company cannot be certain that it will be successful in these strategies even with the required funding.

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 3 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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.

F-9

 

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. 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.

Monetary assets and liabilities, and the related revenue, expense, gain and loss accounts, of the Company are re- measured 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.

F-10

 

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 December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, there was $0.00 of unrecognized expense related to non-vested stock-based compensation arrangements granted. There have been no options granted during the three months ended December 31, 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 December 31, 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.

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.

Basic net income (loss) per common share is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding at December 31, 2022 and 2021. 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.

F-11

 

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.

In 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, in order 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.

In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-09, Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. This guidance changes how companies account for certain aspects of share-based payments to employees. Among other things, under the new guidance, companies will no longer record excess tax benefits and certain tax deficiencies in additional paid-in-capital (“APIC”), but will instead record such items as income tax expense or benefit in the income statement, and APIC pools will be eliminated. Companies will apply this guidance prospectively. Another component of the new guidance allows companies to make an accounting policy election for the impact of forfeitures on the recognition of expense for share-based payment awards, whereby forfeitures can be estimated, as required today, or recognized when they occur. If elected, the change to recognize forfeitures when they occur needs to be adopted using a modified retrospective approach. All of the guidance will be effective for the Company in the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance, if any, on its financial statements and related disclosures.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which establishes new accounting and disclosure requirements for leases. FASB ASU No. 2016-02 requires lessees to classify most leases as either finance or operating leases and to initially recognize a lease liability and right-of-use asset. Entities may elect to account for certain short-term leases (with a term of 12 months or less) using a method similar to the current operating lease model. The statements of operations will include, for finance leases, separate recognition of interest on the lease liability and amortization of the right-of-use asset and for operating leases, a single lease cost, calculated so that the cost of the lease is allocated over the lease term on a straight-line basis. While we are in the early stages of our implementation process for FASB ASU No. 2016-02, and have not yet determined its impact on our financial position or results of operations, these leases would potentially be required to be presented on the balance sheet in accordance with the requirements of FASB ASU No. 2016-02. FASB ASU No. 2016-02 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. FASB ASU No. 2016-02 must be applied using a modified retrospective approach, which requires recognition and measurement of leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented, with certain practical expedients available.

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory. The guidance requires an entity to measure inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value, which is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation, rather than the lower of cost or market in the previous guidance. This amendment applies to inventory that is measured using first-in, first-out (FIFO). This amendment is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those years. A reporting entity should apply the amendments prospectively with earlier application permitted as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance, if any, on its financial statements and related disclosures.

In June 22014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”), which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. ASU 2014-09 will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. generally accepted accounting principles when it becomes effective. In July 2015, the FASB deferred the effective date of the standard by an additional year; however, it provided companies the option to adopt one year earlier, commensurate with the original effective date. Accordingly, the standard will be effective for the Company in the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2018, with an option to adopt the standard for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating this standard and has not yet selected a transition method or the effective date on which it plans to adopt the standard, nor has it determined the effect of the standard on its financial statements and related disclosures.

NOTE 4 - INCOME TAXES

Income taxes are provided based upon the liability method. Under this approach, deferred income taxes are recorded to reflect the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each year-end. A valuation allowance is recorded against deferred tax assets if management does not believe the Company has met the “more likely than not” standard imposed by accounting standards to allow recognition of such an asset.

Deferred tax assets/liabilities were as follows as of December 31, 2022 and 2021:

Description  31-Dec-22  31-Dec-21
Net operating loss carry forward   34,429,093    34,429,093 
Valuation allowance   (34,429,093)   (34,429,093)
Total    $                   -   g   $—   

 

As of December 31, 2022, the Company expected no net deferred tax assets to be recognized, resulting from net operating loss carry forwards. Deferred tax assets were offset by a corresponding allowance of 100%.

The Company experienced a change in control during the year, and therefore no more than an insignificant portion of this net operating allowance will ever be used against future taxable income.

NOTE 7 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Risks and Uncertainties

The Company’s operations are subject to significant risks and uncertainties including financial, operational and regulatory risks, including the potential risk of business failure.

The Company has entered into no contracts during the year as follows:

Legal and other matters

In the normal course of business, the Company may become a party to litigation matters involving claims against the Company.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENT DECEMBER 31, 2022

 

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Mekaddesh Group Corporation, a Texas corporation was incorporated in the State of Texas on February 12, 2015, with intent to operate and promote TV and radio stations for Hispanic programming. MGC’s current programming includes: Alcance, Radio La Tremenda, Radio Mana, Unimax Television Al Maximo, El Buen Samaratino, and Un Tiempo En Su Presencia.

 

On May 15, 2023, in an ALL-STOCK acquisition, JPX Global, Inc. acquired control of Mekaddesh Group Corporation (MGC), a Dallas, Texas, entertainment operation formed in 2015 to operate and promote TV and radio stations for Hispanic programming. MGC’s current programming includes: Alcance, Radio La Tremenda, Radio Mana, Unimax Television Al Maximo, El Buen Samaratino, and Un Tiempo En Su Presencia.

The Company is currently operating as a subsidiary of JPX Global, Inc.

 

 

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“ U.S. GAAP”).

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

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.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U. S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities on the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other assumptions and information that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Estimates and assumptions of future events and their effects cannot be perceived with certainty and, accordingly, these estimates may change as new events occur, as more experience is acquired, as additional information is obtained and as operating environment changes. Significant estimates and assumptions by management include, among others, estimated life and impairment of long- lived assets, allowance for doubtful accounts, contingencies and litigation, total costs in connection with service revenues, valuation of inventories and income taxes including the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets. While the Company believes that the estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the financial statements are appropriate, actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates and assumptions are periodically reviewed and the effects of revisions are reflected in the financial statements in the period they are determined to be necessary.

F-18

 

 

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and cash in time deposits, certificates of deposit and all other highly liquid instruments with original maturities of three months or less.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

Accounts receivable is recorded at the net value of less estimates for doubtful accounts. Management regularly reviews outstanding accounts and provides an allowance for doubtful accounts. When collection of the original invoice amounts is no longer probable, the Company will either partially or fully write- off the balance against the allowance for doubtful accounts.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company adopted ASC 6 06 requires the use of a new five- step model to recognize revenue from customer contracts. The five- step model requires entities to exercise judgment when considering the terms of contracts, which includes ( 1 ) identifying the contracts or agreements with a customer, ( 2 ) identifying our performance obligations in the contract or agreement, ( 3 ) determining the transaction price, ( 4 ) allocating the transaction price to the separate performance obligations, and ( 5 ) recognizing revenue as each performance obligation is satisfied. The Company only applies the five- step model to contracts when it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the services it transfers to its clients. The Company has concluded that the new guidance did not require any significant change to its revenue recognition processes.

 

Leases

 

We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease right- of- use ( “ ROU”) assets, operating lease liabilities - current, and operating lease liabilities - noncurrent on the balance sheets. Finance leases are included in property and equipment, other current liabilities, and other long- term liabilities in our balance sheets.

ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we generally use our incremental borrowing rate based on the estimated rate of interest for collateralized borrowing over a similar term of the lease payments at commencement date. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes lease incentives. Our lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight- line basis over the lease term.

 

Related Parties Transactions

 

A related party is generally defined as ( i) any person that holds 10 % or more of the Company’ s securities and their immediate families, ( ii) the Company’ s management, ( iii) someone that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by or is under common control with the Company, or ( iv) anyone who can significantly influence the financial and operating decisions of the Company. A transaction is considered as a related party transaction when there is a transfer of resources or obligations between related parties. Related parties may be individuals or corporate entities.

F-19

 

Fair values of financial instruments

 

The Company adopted ASC 820 “ Fair Value Measurements, ” which defines fair value, establishes a three- level valuation hierarchy for disclosures of fair value measurement and enhances disclosures requirements for fair value measures. Current assets and current liabilities qualified as financial instruments and management believes their carrying amounts are a reasonable estimate of fair value because of the short period of time between the origination of such instruments and their expected realization and if applicable, their current interest rate is equivalent to interest rates currently available. The three levels are defined as follow:

 

·Level 1 — inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices ( unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
·Level 2 — inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the assets or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the

financial instruments.

·Level 3 — inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value.

 

As of the balance sheet date, the estimated fair values of the financial instruments approximated their fair values due to the short- term nature of these instruments. Determining which category an asset or liability falls within the hierarchy requires significant judgment. The Company evaluates the hierarchy disclosures each year.

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments the Company holds that are subject to concentrations of credit risk are cash, restricted cash, notes receivables and accounts receivable arising from its normal business activities. The Company places its cash and restricted cash in what it believes to be credit- worthy financial institutions. The Company routinely assesses the credit status of its customers and, based upon factors surrounding the credit risks, establishes an allowance, if required, for uncollectible accounts. The company believes its notes receivable and accounts receivable credit risk exposure beyond such allowance is limited.

F-20

 

 

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company accounts for income taxes under the provision of FASB ASC 740 - 10 , which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each period end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

 

Comprehensive Income/ Loss

 

ASC 2 2 0 “ Comprehensive Income” established standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income/ loss, its components and accumulated balances. Components of comprehensive income/ loss include net income/ loss and foreign currency translation adjustments.

 

Commitments and Contingencies

 

The Company follows ASC 45 0 - 2 0 , 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.

Segment Reporting

 

The Company uses the “ management approach” in determining reportable segments. The management approach considers the internal organization and reporting used by the Company’ s chief operating decision maker for making operating decisions and assessing performance as the source for determining the Company’ s reportable segments. The Company’ s chief operating decision maker has been identified as the chief executive officer of the Company who reviews financial information of operating segments based on U. S. GAAP. The chief operating decision maker now reviews analysis reports on a customer- by- customer basis. This analysis is only presented at the revenue level with no allocation of direct or indirect costs. Consequently, the Company has determined that it has only one reportable segment.

 

 

F-21

 

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2019 , the FASB issued ASU 2019 - 12 — Income Taxes ( Topic 740 ): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. This ASU provides an exception to the general methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period when a year- to- date loss exceeds the anticipated loss for the year. This update also ( 1 ) requires an entity to recognize a franchise tax ( or similar tax) that is partially based on income as an income- based tax and account for any incremental amount incurred as a non- income- based tax, ( 2 ) requires an entity to evaluate when a step- up in the tax basis of goodwill should be considered part of the business combination in which goodwill was originally recognized for accounting purposes and when it should be considered a separate transaction, and ( 3 ) requires that an entity reflect the effect of an enacted change in tax laws or rates in the annual effective tax rate computation in the interim period that includes the enactment date. The standard is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning after December 1 5 , 2 0 2 0 , with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’ s consolidated financial statements.

The Company does not believe other recently issued but not yet effective accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material impact on its the consolidated financial position, statements of operations and cash flows.

 

NOTE 3 - 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 is an investment holding company.

The Company intends to raise the necessary funds to invest in other strategic businesses. The Company cannot be certain that it will be successful in these strategies even with the required funding. 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 4 - LONG TERM INVESTMENT

 

None

 

NOTE 5 - INCOME TAXES

 

Income taxes are provided based upon the liability method. Under this approach, deferred income taxes are recorded to reflect the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each year- end. A valuation allowance is recorded against deferred tax assets if management does not believe the Company has met the “ more likely than not” standard imposed by accounting standards to allow recognition of such an asset.

 

NOTE 6 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Risks and Uncertainties

 

The Company’ s operations are subject to significant risks and uncertainties including financial, operational and regulatory risks, including the potential risk of business failure.

 

The Company has entered into no contracts during the reporting period:

Legal and other matters

 

In the normal course of business, the Company may become a party to litigation matters involving claims against the Company. The Company' s management is unaware of any pending or threatened assertions and there are no current matters that would have a material effect on the Company’ s financial position or results of operations.

 

NOTE 7 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

The Company evaluates subsequent events that have occurred after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued. Based on this evaluation, the Company concluded that subsequent to December 31, 2022 but prior to June 21, 2023 , the date the financial statements were available to be issued, there was no subsequent event that would require disclosure to or adjustment to the financial statements other than the ones disclosed above.

JPX GLOBAL, Inc.

UNAUDITED

PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

 

JPX Global, Inc. (the “Company” or “JPX”) was incorporated under the laws of the state of Nevada on December 18, 2008. The Company operation was historically focused on the development of waste management services including the storage, recycling, and disposal of waste. The Company does not presently have any waste management operations. The Company has a fiscal year end of December 31 and is listed on the OTC Pink Markets under the trading symbol JPEX.

On May 15, 2023, the Company closed an ALL-STOCK acquisition of Mekaddesh Group Corporation (MGC), a Dallas, Texas, entertainment operation formed in 2015 to operate and promote TV and radio stations for Hispanic programming. MGC’s current programming includes: Alcance, Radio La Tremenda, Radio Mana, Unimax Television Al Maximo, El Buen Samaratino, and Un Tiempo En Su Presencia.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements have been prepared to give effect to the Acquisition. These unaudited pro forma combined financial statements are derived from the historical consolidated financial statements of the Company and Mekaddesh Group Corporation. These financial statements have been adjusted as described in the notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet combines the historical consolidated balance sheets of the Company and Mekaddesh Group Corporation, has been prepared assuming the Acquisition closed on December 31, 2022, and includes preliminary adjustments to reflect the events that are directly attributable to the Acquisition and factually supportable. In addition, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations combines the historical consolidated statements of operations of the Company and Mekaddesh Group Corporation and has also been adjusted to give effect to pro forma events that are directly attributable to the Acquisition, factually supportable and expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results. The unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations has been prepared assuming the Acquisition closed on January 1, 2022.

The Company has prepared the unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial statements based on available information using assumptions that it believes are reasonable. These pro forma financial statements are being provided for informational purposes only and do not claim to represent the Company’s actual financial position or results of operations had the Acquisition occurred on that date specified nor do they project the Company’s results of operations or financial position for any future period or date. The actual results reported by the combined company in periods following the Acquisition may differ significantly from these unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial statements for a number of reasons. The pro forma financial statements do not account for the cost of any restructuring activities or synergies resulting from the Acquisition or other costs relating to the integration of the two companies, or other historical acquisitions that were undertaken by the Company.

The unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial statements were prepared using the acquisition method of accounting as outlined in Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, Business Combinations, with the Company considered the acquiring company. Based on the acquisition method of accounting, the consideration paid for Mekaddesh Group Corporation is allocated to its assets and liabilities based on their fair value as of the date of the completion of the Acquisition. The purchase price allocation and valuation is based on preliminary estimates, subject to final adjustments and provided for informational purposes only.

These unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s historical consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Disclosure Statement Pursuant to the Pink Basic Disclosure Guidelines for the year ended December 31, 2022.

(b)               If no record date is fixed, the record date for determining stockholders: (i) entitled to notice of and to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held; and (ii) for any other purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board adopts the resolution relating thereto. A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; providedhowever, that the Board may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting and must fix a new record date if the meeting is adjourned to a date more than sixty (60) days later than the date set for the original meeting.

Once a quorum is established at any meeting of the stockholders, the voluntary withdrawal of any stockholder from the meeting shall not affect the authority of the remaining stockholders to conduct any business which properly comes before the meeting. If, however, such quorum is not present or represented at any meeting of the stockholders, the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, present in person or represented by proxy, will have the power to adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum is present or represented by proxy. At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum is present or represented by proxy any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally notified.

(b)               Except as otherwise provided herein, all votes with respect to shares standing in the name of an individual at the close of business on the record date (including pledged shares) shall be cast only by that individual or such individual’s duly authorized proxy. With respect to shares held by a representative of the estate of a deceased stockholder, or a guardian, conservator, custodian or trustee, even though the shares do not stand in the name of such holder, votes may be cast by such holder upon proof of such representative capacity. In the case of shares under the control of a receiver, the receiver may cast votes carried by such shares even though the shares do not stand of record in the name of the receiver; provided, that the order of a court of competent jurisdiction which appoints the receiver contains the authority to cast votes carried by such shares. If shares stand of record in the name of a minor, votes may be cast by the duly appointed guardian of the estate of such minor only if such guardian has provided the Corporation with written proof of such appointment.

 

(c)                With respect to shares standing of record in the name of another corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other legal entity on the record date, votes may be cast: (i) in the case of a corporation, by such individual as the bylaws of such other corporation prescribe, by such individual as may be appointed by resolution of the Board of Directors of such other corporation or by such individual (including, without limitation, the officer making the authorization) authorized in writing to do so by the chairman of the board, if any, president, chief executive officer, if any, or any vice president of such corporation; and (ii) in the case of a partnership, limited liability company or other legal entity, by an individual representing such stockholder upon presentation to the Corporation of satisfactory evidence of his or her authority to do so.

 

(d)               Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein and except for the Corporation’s shares held in a fiduciary capacity, the Corporation shall not vote, directly or indirectly, shares of its own stock owned by it; and such shares shall not be counted in determining the total number of outstanding shares entitled to vote.

5

 

 

(e)                Any holder of shares entitled to vote on any matter may cast a portion of the votes in favor of such matter and refrain from casting the remaining votes or cast the same against the proposal, except in the case of elections of directors. If such holder entitled to vote does vote any of such stockholder’s shares affirmatively and fails to specify the number of affirmative votes, it will be conclusively presumed that the holder is casting affirmative votes with respect to all shares held.

 

(f)                With respect to shares standing of record in the name of two (2) or more persons, whether fiduciaries, members of a partnership, joint tenants, tenants in common, husband and wife as community property, tenants by the entirety, voting trustees or otherwise and shares held by two (2) or more persons (including proxy holders) having the same fiduciary relationship in respect to the same shares, votes may be cast in the following manner: (i) if only one (1) person votes, the vote of such person binds all; (ii) if more than one (1) person casts votes, the act of the majority so voting binds all; and (iii) if more than one (1) person casts votes, but the vote is evenly split on a particular matter, the votes shall be deemed cast proportionately, as split. 

 

(g)               Each stockholder entitled to vote may authorize another person or persons to act for his, her, or it by proxy. All proxies must be in writing, signed by the stockholder or by his, her, or its duly authorized attorney-in-fact, and will be filed with the Secretary before being voted; provided, that no proxy will be valid after six (6) months from the date of its execution unless the person executing it specifies in it the length of time for which it is to continue in force, which in no event will exceed seven (7) years. A duly executed proxy is not revoked and will continue in full force and effect until another instrument or transmission revoking it or a properly created proxy bearing a later date is filed with or transmitted to the Secretary. The mere attendance at a meeting by a stockholder who has previously given a proxy applicable to such meeting will not constitute a revocation of such proxy.

 

(h)                Except for the election of directors or as otherwise provided by applicable law, the Articles, or these Bylaws, at all meetings of stockholders, action by the stockholders on a matter is approved if the number of votes cast in favor of the action exceeds the number of votes cast in opposition to the action.

 

(i)                  Except as otherwise required by applicable law, the Articles, or these Bylaws, directors will be elected to the Board by a plurality of the votes cast by each of the holders of the shares of capital stock present and entitled to vote at the meeting. Cumulative voting for directors will not be required or permitted.

 

Section 2.14        Inspectors of Election. In advance of any meeting of stockholders, the Board will appoint one (1) or more persons, other than officers, directors, or nominees for office, as inspectors of election to act at such meeting or any adjournment thereof. Such appointment will not be altered at the meeting. If inspectors of election are not so appointed, the chairman of the meeting will make such appointment at the meeting. If any person appointed as inspector fails to appear or fails or refuses to act at the meeting, the vacancy so created may be filled by appointment by the Board in advance of the meeting or at the meeting by the chairman of the meeting. The duties of the inspectors of election will include determining the number of shares outstanding and the voting power of each; determining the shares represented at the meeting; determining the existence of a quorum; determining the validity and effect of proxies; receiving votes, ballots, or consents; hearing and deciding all challenges and questions arising in connection with the right to vote; counting and tabulating all votes, ballots, or consents; determining the results of any election, vote, or other determination; and doing such acts as are proper to the conduct of the election or the vote with fairness to all stockholders. Any report or certificate made by them will be prima facie evidence of the facts stated and of the vote as certified by them. Each inspector will be entitled to a reasonable compensation for his or her services, to be paid by the Corporation.

 

Section 2.15        Action Without Meeting. Any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of stockholders may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice, and without a vote, if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, is signed by the holders of a majority of the voting power of all classes and series of stock entitled to vote with respect to the subject matter of the action, except that if any greater proportion of voting power is required for such an action at a meeting, then the greater proportion of written consents is required. Such written consents will be delivered to the Secretary. Every written consent must bear the date of signature of each stockholder who signs the consent. No written consent will be effective unless it is delivered, with signatures of stockholders holding sufficient shares to authorize or take such action, to the Secretary within sixty (60) days after the earliest dated signature on such consent. In no instance where action is authorized by written consent need a meeting of stockholders be called or notice given.

Each director’s term shall expire at the annual meeting next following the director’s election as a director; provided, that, notwithstanding the expiration of the term of the director, the director shall continue to hold office until a successor is elected and qualifies or until his death, resignation, retirement, removal, or disqualification or until there is a decrease in the number of directors. Directors need not be residents of the State of Nevada or stockholders of the Corporation. No decrease in the number of directors constituting the Board shall shorten the term of any incumbent directors. 

 

Section 3.03        Removal. Directors may be removed from office with or without cause, at an annual or special meeting of the stockholders upon a vote of stockholders holding at least two-thirds (2/3) of the voting power of all classes and series of stock entitled to vote at such meeting. The notice of the stockholders’ meeting at which such action is to be taken must state that a purpose of the meeting is removal of the director.

 

Section 3.04        Vacancies. A vacancy occurring on the Board, including, without limitation, a vacancy resulting from death, resignation, retirement, removal, disqualification, an increase in the number of directors, or from the failure by the stockholders to elect the full authorized number of directors, may be filled by a majority vote of the remaining directors or by the sole director remaining in office, in either case though less than a quorum.

 

Section 3.05        Compensation. The Corporation may compensate directors for their service on the Board as such and may provide for the payment of expenses incurred by the directors in connection with such services. Any director may serve the Corporation in any other capacity and receive compensation therefor.

The chairman of the Board (the “Chairman of the Board”) and vice chairman of the Board (the “Vice Chairman of the Board”) will be elected by the Board, the Chairman of the Board, or if the Chairman of the Board is unable to attend the meeting or if the Chairman of the Board is not then an Independent Director and a meeting on the Independent Directors is called, the Vice Chairman of the Board, will preside at meetings of the Board, and each shall have such other authority and perform such other duties as the Board may designate.

 

Section 3.07        Place of Meetings; Meetings by Telephone. The Board may hold meetings, both regular and special, either within or outside the State of Nevada. Members of the Board or any committee designated by the Board may participate in a meeting of the Board or committee through electronic communications, videoconferencing, teleconferencing or other available technology which allows the stockholders to communicate simultaneously or sequentially. Such participation in a meeting will constitute presence in person at the meeting.

 

Section 3.08        Regular Meetings. Regular meetings of the Board may be held without notice at such date, time, and place as the Board will determine from time to time.

 

Section 3.09        Special Meetings; Notice. Special meetings of the Board may be called at any time by the Chairman of the Board, the President, or any two (2) directors.

Section 3.10        Waiver of Notice. Notice of the date, time, place, and purpose of any meeting of directors may be waived in writing, signed by the person entitled to notice, either before or after such meeting, and a director’s attendance at a meeting waives objection to lack of notice or defective notice of the meeting, unless the director at the beginning of the meeting objects to holding the meeting or transacting business at the meeting because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Neither of the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the directors, or members of a committee of directors, need to be specified in a written waiver of notice.

Section 3.11        Quorum; Vote. Except as otherwise provided by applicable law, at all meetings of the Board, a majority of the authorized number of directors will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business and the vote of a majority of the directors present at any meeting at which there is a quorum will be the act of the Board. If a quorum is present at the call of a meeting, the directors may continue to transact business until adjournment notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough directors to leave less than a quorum. In the event of a tie vote of the Board and one (1) or more directors is absent from the meeting, the matter will be deferred until the next meeting of the Board. In the event of a tie vote and all directors have participated in the meeting and have voted or abstained from voting, the Chairman of the Board will cast an additional vote and the matter will be approved or disapproved based upon such vote. In the event the Chairman of the Board has abstained from voting on the issue, the matter will be deemed disapproved due to the matter failing to obtain a majority of affirmative votes.

 

Section 3.12        Adjourned Meeting; Notice. If a quorum is not present at any meeting of the Board, then the directors present at the meeting may adjourn the meeting from time to time without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum is present, but may not transact business.

The Board may, in its discretion, waive the affidavit and bond or other security and authorize the issuance of a new certificate in place of a certificate claimed to have been lost, stolen, or destroyed.

 

ARTICLE VII.
INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

 

Section 7.01        Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

 

(a)                For purposes of this Article, (A) “Indemnitee” shall mean each director or officer who was or is a party to, or is threatened to be made a party to, or is otherwise involved in, any Proceeding (as hereinafter defined), by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or member, manager, or managing member of a predecessor limited liability company or affiliate of such limited liability company, or is or was serving in any capacity at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee, agent, partner, member, manager, or fiduciary of, or in any other capacity for, another corporation or any partnership, joint venture, limited liability company, trust, or other enterprise or affiliate; (B) “Proceeding” shall mean any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, or proceeding (including, without limitation, an action, suit, or proceeding by or in the right of the Corporation), whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative; and (C) “Liabilities” shall mean any and all expenses, liabilities, and losses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, taxes, penalties, and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement).

 

(b)               Each Indemnitee shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada law, against Liabilities actually and reasonably incurred or suffered by the Indemnitee in connection with any Proceeding; provided, that such Indemnitee either is not liable pursuant to NRS 78.138 or acted in good faith and in a manner such Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation and, with respect to any Proceeding that is criminal in nature, had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. The termination of any Proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, does not, of itself, create a presumption that the Indemnitee is liable pursuant to NRS 78.138 or did not act in good faith and in a manner in which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, or that, with respect to any criminal Proceeding he or she had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.

 

(c)                With regard solely to a Proceeding that is an action or suit by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in the Corporation’s favor, the Corporation shall not indemnify an Indemnitee against Liabilities for any claim, issue, or matter as to which the Indemnitee has been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom, to be liable to the Corporation or for any amounts paid in settlement to the Corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the Proceeding was brought or other court of competent jurisdiction determines upon application that in view of all the circumstances of the case, the Indemnitee is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such amounts as the court deems proper.

 

(d)               Except as so ordered by a court and for advancement of expenses pursuant to this Article 7, indemnification may not be made to or on behalf of an Indemnitee if a final adjudication establishes that his or her acts or omissions involved intentional misconduct, fraud, or a knowing violation of law and was material to the cause of action.

12

 

 

(e)                The expenses of Indemnitees must be paid by the Corporation or through insurance purchased and maintained by the Corporation or through other financial arrangements made by the Corporation, as they are incurred and in advance of the final disposition of the Proceeding, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay the amount if it is ultimately adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom, that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation.

 

(f)                Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, to the extent that a director or officer of the Corporation is successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any Proceeding, including in the defense of any claim, issue, or matter arising out of an action or suit by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in the Corporation’s favor, the Corporation shall indemnify him or her against Liabilities actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with the defense.

 

Section 7.02        Enforcement. Without the necessity of entering into an express contract, all rights to indemnification and advances to persons under this Article 7 will be deemed to be contractual rights and be effective to the same extent and as if provided for in a contract between the Corporation and the Indemnitee. an Indemnitee may enforce any right to indemnification or advances under this Article 7 in any court of competent jurisdiction if: (a) the Corporation denies the claim for indemnification or advances, in whole or in part; or (b) the Corporation does not dispose of such claim within ninety (90) days of request therefor. The claimant in such enforcement action, if successful in whole or in part, will be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting his claim. The burden of proof is on the claimant to substantiate that he is entitled to be indemnified under this Article 7. The Corporation will be entitled to raise as a defense to any such action that the claimant has not met the standard of conduct that makes it permissible under NRS Section 78.7502 for the Corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including the Board, independent legal counsel, or the stockholders) to have, prior to the commencement of such action, made a determination that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because the claimant has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in NRS Section 78.7502, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including the Board, independent legal counsel, or the stockholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, will be a defense to the action or create a presumption that claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct.

 

Section 7.03        Non Exclusivity of Rights. The rights conferred on any person by this Article 7 will not be exclusive of any other right which such person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Articles, Bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders, or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in the person’s official capacity and as to action in another capacity while serving the Corporation. The Corporation is specifically authorized to enter into individual contracts with any or all of its directors, officers, employees, or agents respecting indemnification and advances, to the fullest extent not prohibited by applicable law.

 

Section 7.04        Survival of Rights. Indemnification pursuant to this Section shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to be a director or officer of the Corporation or member, manager, or managing member of a predecessor limited liability company or affiliate of such limited liability company, or a director, officer, employee, agent, partner, member, manager, or fiduciary of, or to serve in any other capacity for, another corporation or any partnership, joint venture, limited liability company, trust, or other enterprise or affiliate and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors, and administrators.

 

Section 7.05        Insurance; Other Financial Arrangements.

 

(a)                To the fullest extent permitted by NRS Section 78.752, the Corporation, upon approval by the Board, may purchase and maintain insurance or make other financial arrangements on behalf of any person required or permitted to be indemnified pursuant to this Article 7 for any liability asserted against him or her and liability and expenses incurred by him or her in his or her capacity as a director, officer, employee, member, manager, managing member, or agent, or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the Corporation has the authority to indemnify him or her against such liability and expenses.

 

(b)               The other financial arrangements which may be made by the Corporation may include the following (i) the creation of a trust fund; (ii) the establishment of a program of self-insurance; (iii) the securing of its obligation of indemnification by granting a security interest or other lien on any assets of the Corporation; and/or (iv) the establishment of a letter of credit, guarantee or surety. No financial arrangement made pursuant to this subsection may provide protection for a person adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom, to be liable for intentional misconduct, fraud, or a knowing violation of law, except with respect to advancement of expenses or indemnification ordered by a court.

13

 

 

(c)                Any insurance or other financial arrangement made on behalf of a person pursuant to this Article 7 may be provided by the Corporation or any other person approved by the Board, even if all or part of the other person’s stock or other securities is owned by the Corporation. In the absence of fraud (i) the decision of the Board as to the propriety of the terms and conditions of any insurance or other financial arrangement made pursuant to this Article 7 and the choice of the person to provide the insurance or other financial arrangement is conclusive; and (ii) the insurance or other financial arrangement is not void or voidable and does not subject any director approving it to personal liability for his action; even if a director approving the insurance or other financial arrangement is a beneficiary of the insurance or other financial arrangement.

 

Section 7.06        Indemnification of Employees and Other Persons. The Corporation may, by action of its Board and to the extent provided in such action, indemnify employees and other persons as though they were Indemnitees.

 

Section 7.07        Amendment. The provisions of this Article 7 relating to indemnification shall constitute a contract between the Corporation and each of its directors and officers which may be modified as to any director or officer only with that person’s consent or as specifically provided in this Section 7.07. Notwithstanding any other provision of these Bylaws relating to their amendment generally, any repeal or amendment of this Article 7 which is adverse to any director or officer shall apply to such director or officer only on a prospective basis, and shall not limit, eliminate, or impair the rights of an Indemnitee to indemnification with respect to any action or failure to act occurring prior to the time of such repeal or amendment. Notwithstanding any other provision of these Bylaws (including, without limitation, Section 8.08 below), no repeal or amendment of these Bylaws shall affect any or all of this Article 7 so as to limit or reduce the indemnification in any manner unless adopted by the unanimous vote of the directors of the Corporation then serving; provided, that no such amendment shall have a retroactive effect inconsistent with the preceding sentence.

Principal Amount: $475,000.00 Issue Date: April 5, 2023

 

 

12% CONVERTIBLE NOTE

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, JPX GLOBAL, INC., a Nevada corporation (“Borrower” or “Company”), hereby promises to pay to the order of ALPHARIDGE CAPITAL, LLC, a California limited liability company, or its registered assigns (the “Holder”), on January 31, 2024, (subject to extension as set forth below, the “Maturity Date”), the sum of $475,000.00 as set forth herein, together with interest on the unpaid principal balance hereof at the rate of twelve (12%) per annum (the “Interest Rate”) from the date of issuance hereof until this Note plus any and all amounts due hereunder are paid in full, and any additional amounts set forth herein, including without limitation any Additional Principal (as defined herein). Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 365-day year and the actual number of days elapsed. Any amount of principal or interest on this Note which is not paid when due shall bear interest at the rate of twelve (12%) per annum from the due date thereof until the same is paid (“Default Interest”). All payments due hereunder shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America. All payments shall be made at such address as the Holder shall hereafter give to the Borrower by written notice made in accordance with the provisions of this Note. Whenever any amount expressed to be due by the terms of this Note is due on any day which is not a business day, the same shall instead be due on the next succeeding day which is a business day and, in the case of any interest payment date which is not the date on which this Note is paid in full, the extension of the due date thereof shall not be taken into account for purposes of determining the amount of interest due on such date. As used in this Note, the term “business day” shall mean any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or a day on which commercial banks in the city of Los Angeles, California are authorized or required by law or executive order to remain closed. Each capitalized term used herein, and not otherwise defined, shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in that certain Securities Purchase Agreement entered into by and between the Company and Holder dated on or about the date hereof, pursuant to which this Note was originally issued (the “Purchase Agreement”). The Holder may, by written notice to the Borrower at least five (5) days before the Maturity Date (as may have been previously extended), extend the Maturity Date to up to one (1) year following the date of the original Maturity Date hereunder.

1

 

 

This Note is free from all taxes, liens, claims and encumbrances with respect to the issue thereof and shall not be subject to preemptive rights or other similar rights of shareholders of the Borrower and will not impose personal liability upon the holder thereof.

 

The following terms shall apply to this Note:

 

ARTICLE I. CONVERSION RIGHTS

 

1.1.               Conversion Right. The Holder shall have the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, at any time from after January 31, 2024, to convert all or any part of the outstanding amount due under this Note into fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock, as such Common Stock exists on the Issue Date, or any shares of capital stock or other securities of the Borrower into which such Common Stock shall hereafter be changed or reclassified at the conversion price (the “Conversion Price”) determined as provided herein (a “Conversion”). The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon each Conversion of this Note (“Conversion Shares”) shall be determined by dividing the Conversion Amount (as defined below) by the applicable Conversion Price then in effect on the date specified in the notice of conversion, in the form attached here to as Exhibit A (the “Notice of Conversion”), delivered to the Borrower by the Holder in accordance with Section 1.4 below; provided that the Notice of Conversion is submitted by facsimile or e-mail (or by other means resulting in, or reasonably expected to result in, notice) to the Borrower before 11:59 p.m., Los Angeles, California time on such conversion date (the “Conversion Date”). The term “Conversion Amount” means, with respect to any Conversion of this Note, the sum of (1) the principal amount of this Note to be converted in such Conversion, plus (2) accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on such principal amount being converted at the interest rates provided in this Note to the Conversion Date, plus (3) at the Holder’s option, Default Interest, if any, on the amounts referred to in the immediately preceding clauses (1) and/or (2), plus (4) any Additional Principal for such Conversion, plus (5) at the Holder’s option, any amounts owed to the Holder pursuant to Sections 1.2(c) and 1.4(g) hereof.

 

1.2.Conversion Price.

 

a)                  Calculation of Conversion Price. The DEFAULT CONVERSION PRICE is $0.0004 unless the prevailing market price of the Company’s Common Stock is substantially higher or lower than $0.0004, in which case the conversion price would be as follows: The conversion price hereunder (the “Conversion Price”) shall equal the lower of: (i) the closing sale price of the Common Stock on the Principal Market on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Closing Date, (ii) 50% of either the lowest sale price for the Common Stock on the Principal Market during the twenty five (25) consecutive Trading Days including and immediately preceding the Conversion Date, or the closing bid price, and (iii) at $0.0001 par value per share, whichever is lower. A floor of $0.0001 is set with no further conversion below that set price. If an Event of Default under Section 3.9 of the Note has occurred, Holder, in its sole discretion, may elect to use a Conversion Price which shall equal the lower of: (i) the closing sale price of the Common Stock on the Principal Market on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Closing Date; (ii) 50% of either the lowest sale price or the closing bid price, whichever is lower for the Common Stock on the Principal Market during any Trading Day in which the Event of Default has not been cured WITHOUT breaching the conversion price floor of $0.0001 . If such Common Stock is not traded on the OTCBB, OTCQB, NASDAQ or NYSE, then such sale price shall be the sale price of such security on the principal securities exchange or trading market where such security is listed or traded or, if no sale price of such security is available in any of the foregoing manners, the average of the closing bid prices of any market makers for such security that are listed in the “pink sheets” by the National Quotation Bureau, Inc. If such sale price cannot be calculated for such security on such date in the manner provided above, such price shall be the fair market value as mutually determined by the Borrower and the Holder. The Borrower acknowledges that it will take all reasonable steps necessary or appropriate, including providing a board of directors resolution authorizing the issuance of common stock to Holder. So long as the requested sale may be made pursuant to Rule 144, the Company agrees to accept an opinion of counsel to the Holder confirming the rights of the Holder to sell shares of Common Stock issuable or issued to Holder on conversion of this Note pursuant to Rule 144 as promulgated by the SEC (“Rule 144”). “Trading Day” shall mean any day on which the Common Stock is tradable for any period on the OTCQB, or on the principal securities exchange or other securities market on which the Common Stock is then being traded. Additionally, if the Company ceases to be a reporting company pursuant to the 1934 Act or if the Note cannot be converted into free trading shares after 181 days from the issuance date, an additional 15% discount will be attributed to the Conversion Price for any and all Conversions submitted thereafter WITHOUT breaching the conversion price floor of $0.0001.

2

 

 

b)                  If at any time the Conversion Price as determined hereunder for any Conversion would be less than the par value of the Common Stock, then the Conversion Price hereunder shall equal such par value for such Conversion and the Conversion Amount for such Conversion shall be increased to include Additional Principal, where “Additional Principal” means such additional amount to be added to the Conversion Amount to the extent necessary to cause the number of Conversion Shares issuable upon such Conversion to equal the same number of Conversion Shares as would have been issued had the Conversion Price not been subject to the minimum price set forth in this Section 1.2(b).

c)                  Without in any way limiting the Holder’s right to pursue other remedies, including actual damages and/or equitable relief, the parties agree that if delivery of the free trading shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note is not delivered by the Deadline (as defined below) the Borrower shall pay to the Holder $250.00 per day in cash, for each day beyond the Deadline that the Borrower fails to deliver such Common Stock. Such cash amount shall be paid to Holder by the fifth day of the month following the month in which it has accrued or, at the option of the Holder, shall be added to the principal amount of this Note, in which event interest shall accrue thereon in accordance with the terms of this Note and such additional principal amount shall be convertible into Common Stock in accordance with the terms of this Note. The Borrower agrees that the right to convert this Note is a valuable right to the Holder. The damages resulting from a failure, attempt to frustrate, or interference with such conversion right are difficult if not impossible to quantify. Accordingly, the parties acknowledge that the liquidated damages provision contained in this Section are justified.

 

1.3.               Authorized Shares. The Borrower covenants that the Borrower will at all times while this Note is outstanding reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares, free from preemptive rights, to provide for the issuance of Common Stock upon the full conversion or adjustment of this Note. Initially, the Company will instruct the Transfer Agent to reserve Two-Hundred and Twenty-Five million (225,000,000) shares of common stock in the name of the Holder for issuance upon conversion hereof. The Borrower represents that upon issuance, such shares will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. In addition, if the Borrower shall issue any securities or make any change to its capital structure which would change the number of shares of Common Stock into which this Note shall be convertible at the then current Conversion Price, the Borrower shall at the same time make proper provision so that thereafter there shall be a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock authorized and reserved, free from preemptive rights, for conversion of this Note in full. The Borrower (i) acknowledges that it has irrevocably instructed its transfer agent to issue certificates for the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note, and (ii) agrees that its issuance of this Note shall constitute full authority to its officers and agents who are charged with the duty of executing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for shares of Common Stock in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Note.

 

If, at any time the Borrower does not maintain the Reserved Amount it will be considered an Event of Default under Section 3.2 of the Note.

 

1.4.Method of Conversion.

 

a)                  Mechanics of Conversion. Subject to Section 1.1, this Note may be converted by the Holder in whole or in part at any time and from time to time after January 31, 2024, by submitting to the Borrower a Notice of Conversion (by facsimile, e-mail or other reasonable means of communication dispatched on the Conversion Date prior to 11:59 p.m., Los Angeles, California).

3

 

 

b)                  Book Entry upon Conversion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon conversion of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to the Borrower unless the entire unpaid balance of this Note is so converted. The Holder and the Borrower shall maintain records showing the principal amount so converted and the dates of such conversions or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and the Borrower, so as not to require physical surrender of this Note upon each such conversion. In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, such records of the Borrower shall, prima facie, be controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any portion of this Note is converted as aforesaid, the Holder may not transfer this Note unless the Holder first physically surrenders this Note to the Borrower, whereupon the Borrower will forthwith issue and deliver upon the order of the Holder a new Note of like tenor, registered as the Holder (upon payment by the Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may request, representing in the aggregate the remaining unpaid principal amount of this Note. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Note, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following conversion of a portion of this Note, the unpaid and unconverted principal amount of this Note represented by this Note may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.

 

c)                  Payment of Taxes. The Borrower shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of shares of Common Stock or other securities or property on conversion of this Note in a name other than that of the Holder (or in street name), and the Borrower shall not be required to issue or deliver any such shares or other securities or property unless and until the person or persons (other than the Holder or the custodian in whose street name such shares are to be held for the Holder’s account) requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Borrower the amount of any such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Borrower that such tax has been paid.

 

d)                  Delivery of Common Stock upon Conversion. Upon receipt by the Borrower from the Holder of a facsimile transmission or e-mail (or other reasonable means of communication) of a Notice of Conversion meeting the requirements for conversion as provided in this Section 1.4, the Borrower shall issue and deliver or cause to be issued and delivered to or upon the order of the Holder certificates for the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion within three (3) business days after such receipt or such an event (the “Deadline”) (and, solely in the case of conversion of the entire unpaid principal amount hereof, surrender of this Note) in accordance with the terms hereof and the Purchase Agreement.

 

e)                  Obligation of Borrower to Deliver Common Stock. Upon receipt by the Borrower of a duly and properly executed Notice of Conversion, the Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of record of the Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, the outstanding principal amount and the amount of accrued and unpaid interest on this Note shall be reduced to reflect such conversion or adjustment, and, unless the Borrower defaults on its obligations under this Article I, all rights with respect to the portion of this Note being so converted shall forthwith terminate except the right to receive the Common Stock or other securities, cash or other assets, as herein provided, on such conversion. If the Holder shall have given a Notice of Conversion as provided herein, the Borrower’s obligation to issue and deliver the certificates for Common Stock shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the absence of any action by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision thereof, the recovery of any judgment against any person or any action to enforce the same, any failure or delay in the enforcement of any other obligation of the Borrower to the holder of record, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder of any obligation to the Borrower, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Borrower to the Holder in connection with such conversion. The Conversion Date specified in the Notice of Conversion shall be the Conversion Date so long as the Notice of Conversion is received by the Borrower before 11:59 p.m., New York, New York time, on such date.

4

 

f)                   Delivery of Common Stock by Electronic Transfer. In lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the Common Stock issuable upon conversion, provided the Borrower is participating in the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer (“FAST”) program, upon request of the Holder and its compliance with the provisions contained in Section 1.1 and in this Section 1.4, the Borrower shall use its best efforts to cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the Common Stock issuable upon conversion to the Holder by crediting the account of Holder’s Prime Broker with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission (“DWAC”) system. . In the event that the shares of the Borrower’s Common Stock are not deliverable via DWAC following the conversion of any amount hereunder, an additional 5% discount will be attributed to the Conversion Price.

 

g)                  Failure to Deliver Common Stock Prior to Deadline. Without in any way limiting the Holder’s right to pursue other remedies, including actual damages and/or equitable relief, the parties agree that if delivery of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion or adjustment of this Note is not delivered by the Deadline, the Borrower shall pay to the Holder $1,000.00 per day in cash, for each day beyond the Deadline that the Borrower fails to deliver such Common Stock to the Holder. Such cash amount shall be paid to Holder by the fifth day of the month following the month in which it has accrued or, at the option of the Holder, shall be added to the principal amount of this Note, in which event interest shall accrue thereon in accordance with the terms of this Note and such additional principal amount shall be convertible into Common Stock in accordance with the terms of this Note. The Borrower agrees that the right to convert and/or receive shares in the event of an adjustment is a valuable right to the Holder. The damages resulting from a failure, attempt to frustrate, or interference with such conversion or adjustment right are difficult if not impossible to qualify. Accordingly, the parties acknowledge that the liquidated damages provision contained in this Section 1.4(g) are justified.

 

h)                  The Borrower acknowledges that it will take all reasonable steps necessary or appropriate, including accepting an opinion of counsel to Holder confirming the rights of Holder to sell shares of Common Stock issued to Holder on conversion or adjustment of the Note pursuant to Rule 144 as promulgated by the SEC (“Rule 144"), as such Rule may be in effect from time to time. So long as the requested sale may be made pursuant to Rule 144 the Borrower agrees to accept an opinion of counsel to the Holder which opinion will be issued at the Borrower’s expense.

 

i)                   Charges and Expenses. Issuance of Common Stock to Holder, or any of its assignees, upon the conversion of this Note shall be made without charge to the Holder for any issuance fee, transfer tax, legal opinion and related charges, postage/mailing charge or any other expense with respect to the issuance of such Common Stock. Company shall pay all Transfer Agent fees incurred from the reservation and issuance of the Common Stock to Holder, as well as any and all other fees and charges required by the Transfer Agent as a condition to effectuate such issuance. That notwithstanding, the Holder may in the interest of securing issuance and/or delivery of Common Stock before the Deadline, at any time from time to time, in its sole discretion elect to

pay any such fees or charges upfront, and Company agrees that any such fees or charges as noted in this Section that are paid by the Holder (whether from the Company’s delays, outright refusal to pay, Holder’s interest in securing issuance and/or delivery of Common Stock before the Deadline, or otherwise), will be at Company’s expense, and the conversion amount will automatically be reduced by that dollar amount to cover the cost of the fees or charges as noted in this Section.

1.5.               Restricted Securities. The shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or adjustment of this Note may not be sold or transferred unless (i) such shares are sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Act or (ii) the Borrower or its transfer agent shall have been furnished with an opinion of counsel (which opinion shall be in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions) to the effect that the shares to be sold or transferred may be sold or transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration or (iii) such shares are sold or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 under the Act (or a successor rule) (“Rule 144”) or (iv) such shares are transferred to an “affiliate” (as defined in Rule 144) of the Borrower who agrees to sell or otherwise transfer the shares only in accordance with this Section 1.5 and who is an Accredited Investor (as defined in the Purchase Agreement). Any legend set forth on any stock certificate evidencing any Conversion Shares shall be removed and the Borrower shall issue to the Holder a new certificate therefore free of any transfer legend if (i) the Borrower or its transfer agent shall have received an opinion of counsel form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions, to the effect that a public sale or transfer of such Common Stock may be made without registration under the Act, which opinion shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company, or (ii) in the case of the Common Stock issued or issuable upon conversion of this Note, such security is registered for sale by the Holder under an effective registration statement filed under the Act or otherwise may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without any restriction as to the number of securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold.

 

1.6.Effect of Certain Events.

 

a)                  Effect of Merger, Consolidation, Etc. At the option of the Holder, the sale, conveyance or disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower, the effectuation by the Borrower of a transaction or series of related transactions in which more than 50% of the voting power of the Borrower is disposed of, or the consolidation, merger or other business combination of the Borrower with or into any other Person (as defined below) or Persons when the Borrower is not the survivor shall either: (i) be deemed to be an Event of Default (as defined in Article III) pursuant to which the Borrower shall be required to pay to the Holder upon the consummation of and as a condition to such transaction an amount equal to the Default Amount (as defined in Article III) or (ii) be treated pursuant to Section 1.6(b) hereof. “Person” shall mean any individual, corporation, limited liability company, partnership, association, trust or other entity or organization.

 

b)                  Adjustment Due to Merger, Consolidation, Etc. If, at any time when this Note is issued and outstanding and prior to conversion of all of the Notes, there shall be any merger, consolidation, exchange of shares, recapitalization, reorganization, or other similar event, as a result of which shares of Common Stock of the Borrower shall be changed into the same or a different number of shares of another class or classes of stock or securities of the Borrower or another entity, or in case of any sale or conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the

Borrower other than in connection with a plan of complete liquidation of the Borrower, then the Holder of this Note shall thereafter have the right to receive upon conversion of this Note, upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified herein and in lieu of the shares of Common Stock immediately theretofore issuable upon conversion, such stock, securities or assets which the Holder would have been entitled to receive in such transaction had this Note been converted in full immediately prior to such transaction (without regard to any limitations on conversion set forth herein), and in any such case appropriate provisions shall be made with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder of this Note to the end that the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, provisions for adjustment of the Conversion Price and of the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the Note) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as may be practicable in relation to any securities or assets thereafter deliverable upon the conversion hereof. The Borrower shall not affect any transaction described in this Section 1.6(b) unless (a) it first gives, to the extent practicable, thirty (30) days prior written notice (but in any event at least fifteen (15) days prior written notice) of the record date of the special meeting of shareholders to approve, or if there is no such record date, the consummation of, such merger, consolidation, exchange of shares, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar event or sale of assets (during which time, for clarification, the Holder shall be entitled to convert this Note) and (b) the resulting successor or acquiring entity assumes by written instrument the obligations of this Section 1.6(b).

Such assets shall be held in escrow by the Company pending any such conversion

 

d)                  Purchase Rights. If, at any time when any Notes are issued and outstanding, the Borrower issues any convertible securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property (the “Purchase Rights”) pro rata to the record holders of any class of Common Stock, then the Holder of this Note will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which such Holder could have acquired if such Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete conversion of this Note (without regard to any limitations on conversion contained herein) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights.

Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.

 

f)                   Notice of Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Price as a result of the events described in this Section 1.6, the Borrower, at its expense, shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment and prepare and furnish to the Holder a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. The Borrower shall, upon the written request at any time of the Holder, furnish to such Holder a like certificate setting forth (i) such adjustment or readjustment, (ii) the Conversion Price at the time in effect and (iii) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other securities or property which at the time would be received upon conversion of the Note.

Notwithstanding Holder’s receipt of the Optional Prepayment Notice the Holder may convert, or continue to convert the Note in whole or in part until the Optional Prepayment Amount (as defined herein) is paid to the Holder. On the date fixed for prepayment (the “Optional Prepayment Date”), the Borrower shall make payment of the Optional Prepayment Amount (as defined below) to or upon the order of the Holder as specified by the Holder in writing to the Borrower at least one (1) business day prior to the Optional Prepayment Date. If the Borrower exercises its right to prepay the Note, the Borrower shall make payment to the Holder of an amount in cash (the “Optional Prepayment Amount”) equal to the Prepayment Factor (as defined below), multiplied by the sum of: (w) the then outstanding principal amount of this Note plus (x) accrued and unpaid interest on the unpaid principal amount of this Note to the Optional Prepayment Date plus (y) Default Interest, if any, on the amounts referred to in clauses (w) and (x) plus (z) any amounts owed to the Holder pursuant to Sections 1.3 and 1.4(g) hereof.

Upon receipt or delivery by the Company of any notice in accordance with the terms of this Note, unless the Company has in good faith determined that the matters relating to such notice do not constitute material, non-public information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, the Company shall within one (1) Trading Day after any such receipt or delivery, publicly disclose such material, non-public information on a Current Report on Form 8-K or otherwise. In the event that the Company believes that a notice contains material, non- public information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, the Company so shall indicate to such Holder contemporaneously with delivery of such notice, and in the absence of any such indication, the Holder shall be allowed to presume that all matters relating to such notice do not constitute material, non-public information relating to the Company or its Subsidiaries.

 

4.9.               Notice of Corporate Events. Except as otherwise provided below, the Holder of this Note shall have no rights as a Holder of Common Stock unless and only to the extent that it converts this Note into Common Stock. The Borrower shall provide the Holder with prior notification of any meeting of the Borrower’s shareholders (and copies of proxy materials and other information sent to shareholders).

all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower or any proposed liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Borrower, the Borrower shall mail a notice to the Holder, at least twenty (20) days prior to the record date specified therein (or thirty (30) days prior to the consummation of the transaction or event, whichever is earlier), of the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, right or other event, and a brief statement regarding the amount and character of such dividend, distribution, right or other event to the extent known at such time. The Borrower shall make a public announcement of any event requiring notification to the Holder hereunder substantially simultaneously with the notification to the Holder in accordance with the terms of this Section 4.9.

 

4.10.           Remedies. The Borrower acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Holder, by vitiating the intent and purpose of the transaction contemplated hereby. Accordingly, the Borrower acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this Note will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Borrower of the provisions of this Note, that the Holder shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies at law or in equity, and in addition to the penalties assessable herein, to an injunction or injunctions restraining, preventing or curing any breach of this Note and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions thereof, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.

Chief Executive Officer

JPX GLOBAL, INC.

370 Amapola Ave., Ste 200A

Torrance, CA 90501

 

 

Dear Ms. Gruel:

 

I have acted, at your request, as special counsel to JPX GLOBAL, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), for the purpose of rendering an opinion as to the legality of 4,000,000,000 shares of Company common stock, par value $0.001, offered by the Company at a price range of $0.001-$0.01 per share of Company common stock to be offered and distributed by Company (the “Shares”), pursuant to a Tier 1 Offering Statement filed under Regulation A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, by Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on Form 1-A, for the purpose of registering the offer and sale of the Shares (“Offering Statement”).

 

In rendering this opinion, I have reviewed (a) statutes of the State of Nevada, to the extent I deem relevant to the matter opined upon herein; (b) true copies of the Articles of Incorporation of Company and all amendments thereto; (c) the By-Laws of Company; (d) selected proceedings of the board of directors of Company authorizing the issuance of the Shares; (e) certificates of officers of Company and of public officials; (f) and such other documents of Company and of public officials as I have deemed necessary and relevant to the matter opined upon herein.

 

I have assumed (a) the Offering Statement filed on Form 1-A and all corresponding exhibits (collectively, the "Documents") have been duly authorized and executed (except as it relates to the Company in which case the Documents have in fact been duly authorized and executed); (b) the persons who executed the Documents had the legal capacity to do so; and (c) the persons identified as officers are actually serving as such and that any shares issued under and pursuant to the Offering Statement will be properly authorized by one or more such persons.

 

Based upon my review described herein, it is my opinion the Shares are duly authorized and when/if issued and delivered by Company against payment therefore, as described in the offering statement, will be validly issued, fully paid, and non-assessable.

 

I have not been engaged to examine, nor have I examined, the Offering Statement for the purpose of determining the accuracy or completeness of the information included therein or the compliance and conformity thereof with the rules and regulations of the SEC or the requirements of Form 1-A, and I express no opinion with respect thereto. The forgoing opinion is strictly limited to matters of Nevada corporation law; and I do not express an opinion on the federal law of the United States of America or the law of any state or jurisdiction therein other than Nevada, as specified herein.

 

I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as Exhibit 12.1 to the Offering Statement and to the reference to our firm under the caption “Legal Matters” in the Offering Circular constituting a part of the Offering Statement. We assume no obligation to update or supplement any of the opinion set forth herein to reflect any changes of law or fact that may occur following the date hereof.

 

 

Sincerely,

 

Alpha Advocate Law Group PC
