SUMMARY

Overview

Cloudastructure was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on March 28, 2003. Cloudastructure provides cloud-controlled physical infrastructure to enterprises in the form of video surveillance and access control in a cloud-model. We provide on-premises hardware that talks to a customer’s cameras and doors. Then we host a cloud solution that allows the customer to see their video (live and recorded) and manage which employee’s badge works on which door from anywhere. Since we are in the cloud, we have available computational resources that would be impractical to build and maintain at each customers' location. These computational resources allow us to provide more advanced AI (artificial intelligence) solutions than are possible in the legacy on-premises model. Such AI solutions include Tagger which tags all objects seen in a video so that users can search by tag (e.g. "person", "vehicle", "animal", etc.). Essentially, we are indexing our customers’ video surveillance and access control data to make for easy search, just like Google indexed the web for easy search.

The Offering

Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company

We are not subject to the ongoing reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) because we are not registering our securities under the Exchange Act.  Rather, we will be subject to the more limited reporting requirements under Regulation A, including the obligation to electronically file:

In addition, at any time after completing reporting for the fiscal year in which our offering statement was qualified, if the securities of each class to which this Offering Statement relates are held of record by fewer than 300 persons and offers or sales are not ongoing, we may immediately suspend our ongoing reporting obligations under Regulation A. 

If and when we become subject to the ongoing reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, as an issuer with less than $1.07 billion in total annual gross revenues during our last fiscal year, we will qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”) and this status will be significant. An emerging growth company may take advantage of certain reduced reporting requirements and is relieved of certain other significant requirements that are otherwise generally applicable to public companies. In particular, as an emerging growth company we:

We intend to take advantage of all of these reduced reporting requirements and exemptions, including the longer phase-in periods for the adoption of new or revised financial accounting standards, and hereby elect to do so. Our election to use the phase-in periods may make it difficult to compare our financial statements to those of non-emerging growth companies and other emerging growth companies that have opted out of the phase-in periods under Section 107 of the JOBS Act.

Under the JOBS Act, we may take advantage of the above-described reduced reporting requirements and exemptions for up to five years after our initial sale of common equity pursuant to a registration statement declared effective under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or such earlier time that we no longer meet the definition of an emerging growth company. Note that this Offering, while a public offering, is not a sale of common equity pursuant to a registration statement, since the Offering is conducted pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements. In this regard, the JOBS Act provides that we would cease to be an “emerging growth company” if we have more than $1.07 billion in annual revenues, have more than $700 million in market value of our Common Stock held by non-affiliates, or issue more than $1 billion in principal amount of non-convertible debt over a three-year period.

Certain of these reduced reporting requirements and exemptions are also available to us due to the fact that we may also qualify, once listed, as a “smaller reporting company” under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). For instance, smaller reporting companies are not required to obtain an auditor attestation on their assessment of internal control over financial reporting; are not required to provide a compensation discussion and analysis; are not required to provide a pay-for-performance graph or CEO pay ratio disclosure; and may present only two years of audited financial statements and related MD&A disclosure.

Selected Risks Associated with Our Business

Our business is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including those highlighted in the section titled “Risk Factors” immediately following this summary. These risks include, but are not limited to, the following:

RISK FACTORS

The SEC requires the Company to identify risks that are specific to its business and its financial condition. The Company is still subject to all the same risks that all companies in its business, and all companies in the economy, are exposed to. These include risks relating to economic downturns, political and economic events, and technological developments (such as cyber-attacks and the ability to prevent such attacks). Additionally, early-stage companies are inherently riskier than more developed companies, and the risk of business failure and complete loss of your investment capital is present. You should consider general risks as well as specific risks when deciding whether to invest.

Risks Related to Our Company

We have a limited operating history upon which you can evaluate our performance. Accordingly, our prospects must be considered in light of the risks that any new company encounters. Our Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on March 28, 2003 as Connexed Technologies Inc. The likelihood of our creation of a successful business must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications, and delays frequently encountered in connection with the growth of a business, operation in a competitive industry, and the continued development of our technology and products. We anticipate that our operating expenses will increase for the near future, and there is no assurance that we will be profitable in the near future. You should consider our business, operations, and prospects in light of the risks, expenses and challenges faced as an emerging growth company.

We have historically operated at a loss, which has resulted in an accumulated deficit. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, we incurred a net loss of $542,322. There can be no assurance that we will ever achieve profitability. Even if we do, there can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain or increase profitability on a quarterly or annual basis. Failure to do so would continue to have a material adverse effect on our accumulated deficit, would affect our cash flows, would affect our efforts to raise capital and is likely to result in a decline in our Class A Common Stock price.

The auditor included a “going concern” note in its audit report. We may not have enough funds to sustain the business until it becomes profitable. Even if we raise funds through this Offering, we may not accurately anticipate how quickly we may use the funds and whether these funds are sufficient to bring the business to profitability.

Our technology continues to be developed, and it is unlikely that we will ever develop our technology to a point at which no further development is required. Cloudastructure is developing complex technology that requires significant technical and regulatory expertise to develop, commercialize and update to meet evolving market and regulatory requirements. If we are unable to successfully develop and commercialize our technology and products, it will significantly affect our viability as a company. 

If our security measures are breached or unauthorized access to individually identifiable biometric or other personally identifiable information is otherwise obtained, our reputation may be harmed, and we may incur significant liabilities. In the ordinary course of our business, we may collect and store sensitive data, including personally identifiable information (“PII”), owned or controlled by ourselves or our customers, and other parties. We communicate sensitive data electronically, and through relationships with multiple third-party vendors and their subcontractors. These applications and data encompass a wide variety of business-critical information, including research and development information, patient data, commercial information, and business and financial information. We face a number of risks relative to protecting this critical information, including loss of access risk, inappropriate use or disclosure, inappropriate modification, and the risk of our being unable to adequately monitor, audit, and modify our controls over our critical information. This risk extends to the third-party vendors and subcontractors we use to manage this sensitive data. As a custodian of this data, Cloudastructure therefore inherits responsibilities related to this data, exposing itself to potential threats. Data breaches occur at all levels of corporate sophistication (including at companies with significantly greater resources and security measures than our own) and the resulting fallout stemming from these breaches can be costly, time-consuming, and damaging to a company’s reputation. Further, data breaches need not occur from malicious attack or phishing only. Often, employee carelessness can result in sharing PII with a much wider audience than intended. Consequences of such data breaches could result in fines, litigation expenses, costs of implementing better systems, and the damage of negative publicity, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business operations and financial condition.

Privacy and data security laws and regulations could require us to make changes to our business, impose additional costs on us and reduce the demand for our software solutions. Our business model contemplates that we will transmit a significant amount of personal or identifying information through our platform. Privacy and data security have become significant issues in the United States and in other jurisdictions where we may offer our video surveillance solutions. The regulatory framework relating to privacy and data security issues worldwide is evolving rapidly and is likely to remain uncertain for the foreseeable future. Federal, state and foreign government bodies and agencies have in the past adopted, or may in the future adopt, laws and regulations regarding the collection, use, processing, storage and disclosure of personal or identifying information obtained from customers and other individuals. In addition to government regulation, privacy advocates and industry groups may propose various self-regulatory standards that may legally or contractually apply to our business. Because the interpretation and application of many privacy and data security laws, regulations and applicable industry standards are uncertain, it is possible that these laws, regulations and standards may be interpreted and applied in a manner inconsistent with our existing privacy and data management practices. As we expand into new jurisdictions or verticals, we will need to understand and comply with various new requirements applicable in those jurisdictions or verticals.

To the extent applicable to our business or the businesses of our customers, these laws, regulations and industry standards could have negative effects on our business, including by increasing our costs and operating expenses, and delaying or impeding our deployment of new core functionality and products. Compliance with these laws, regulations and industry standards requires significant management time and attention, and failure to comply could result in negative publicity, subject us to fines or penalties or result in demands that we modify or cease existing business practices. In addition, the costs of compliance with, and other burdens imposed by, such laws, regulations and industry standards may adversely affect our customers’ ability or desire to collect, use, process and store personal information using our software solutions, which could reduce overall demand for them. Even the perception of privacy and data security concerns, whether or not valid, may inhibit market acceptance of our software solutions in certain verticals. Any of these outcomes could adversely affect our business and operating results.

We anticipate sustaining operating losses for the foreseeable future. It is anticipated that we will sustain operating losses until for the foreseeable future as we expand our team, continue with research and development, and strive to gain customers and gain market share in our industry. Our ability to become profitable depends on our ability to expand our customer base. There can be no assurance that this will occur. Unanticipated problems and expenses are often encountered in offering new products which may impact whether the Company is successful. Furthermore, we may encounter substantial delays and unexpected expenses related to development, technological changes, marketing, regulatory requirements and changes to such requirements or other unforeseen difficulties. There can be no assurance that we will ever become profitable. If the Company sustains losses over an extended period of time, it may be unable to continue in business.

If our products do not achieve broad acceptance both domestically and internationally, we will not be able to achieve our anticipated level of growth. Our revenues are derived from a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model for our products and technology. We cannot accurately predict the future growth rate or the size of the market for our products and technology. The expansion of the market for our solutions depends on a number of factors, such as:

Even if our products and technology gains wide market acceptance, our solutions may not adequately address market requirements and may not continue to gain market acceptance. If cloud-based video surveillance solutions generally or our solutions specifically do not gain wide market acceptance, we may not be able to achieve our anticipated level of growth and our revenues and results of operations would suffer.

We operate in a highly competitive industry that is dominated by multiple very large, well-capitalized market leaders and is constantly evolving. New entrants to the market, existing competitor actions, or other changes in market dynamics could adversely impact us. The level of competition in the security industry is high, with multiple exceptionally large, well-capitalized competitors holding a majority share of the market, such as Tyco, Honeywell, Stanley, and Johnson Controls. Many of the companies in the video surveillance market have longer operating histories, larger customer bases, significantly greater financial, technological, sales, marketing, and other resources than we do. At any point, these companies may decide to devote their resources to creating a competing technology solution which will impact our ability to maintain or gain market share in this industry. Further, such companies will be able to respond more quickly than we can to new or changing opportunities, technologies, standards, or client requirements, more quickly develop new products or devote greater resources to the promotion and sale of their products and services than we can. Likewise, their greater capabilities in these areas may enable them to better withstand periodic downturns in the video surveillance industry and compete more effectively on the basis of price and production. In addition, new companies may enter the markets in which we compete, further increasing competition in the video surveillance industry.

We believe that our ability to compete successfully depends on a number of factors, including the type and quality of our products and the strength of our brand names, as well as many factors beyond our control. We may not be able to compete successfully against current or future competitors, and increased competition may result in price reductions, reduced profit margins, loss of market share and an inability to generate cash flows that are sufficient to maintain or expand the development and marketing of new products, any of which would adversely impact our results of operations and financial condition.

Successful infringement claims against us could result in significant monetary liability or prevent us from selling some of our products. We believe our products and technology may be highly disruptive to a very large and growing market. Our competitors are well capitalized with significant intellectual property protection and resources and they (and/or patent trolls) may initiate infringement lawsuits against our Company. Such litigation could be expensive and could also prevent us from selling our products, which would significantly harm our ability to grow our business as planned.

In order for the Company to compete and grow, it must attract, recruit, retain and develop the necessary personnel who have the needed experience. Recruiting and retaining highly qualified personnel, consultants and advisors is critical to our success. These demands may require us to hire additional personnel, consultants and advisors and will require our existing management personnel to develop additional expertise. We face intense competition for personnel, consultants and advisors. The failure to attract and retain personnel, consultants and advisors or to develop such expertise could delay or halt the development and commercialization of our product candidates. If we experience difficulties in hiring and retaining personnel in key positions, or in hiring consultants and advisors, we could suffer from delays in product development, loss of customers and sales and diversion of management resources, which could adversely affect operating results. Our consultants and advisors may be employed by third parties and may have commitments under consulting or advisory contracts with third parties that may limit their availability to us.

We rely on other companies to provide certain hardware and software for our products. We depend on these suppliers and subcontractors to meet our contractual obligations to our customers and conduct our operations. While we are not dependent on any one supplier for any of our hardware or software, our ability to meet our obligations to our customers may be adversely affected if suppliers or subcontractors do not provide the agreed-upon supplies or perform the agreed-upon services in compliance with customer requirements and in a timely and cost-effective manner. Likewise, the quality of our products may be adversely impacted if companies to whom we delegate manufacture of major components or subsystems for our products, or from whom we acquire such items, do not provide major components and subsystems which meet required specifications and perform to our and our customers’ expectations. If we encounter problems with one or more of these parties and they fail to perform to expectations, it could have a material adverse impact on the Company.

We plan to implement new lines of business or offer new products and services within existing lines of business. We plan on creating a new version of our cloud-based access control service and a new cloud door controller hardware device to go with it. Further, we plan on introducing new computer vision algorithms, such as face recognition and object detection, that must be executed at sustainable computational costs. We also plan on introducing machine learning algorithms that combine information from both access control and video surveillance systems. There are substantial risks and uncertainties associated with these efforts, both in the development of these new products and services, as well as the execution and delivery of these products and services to our customers. We may invest significant time and resources into these endeavors, and there is no guarantee we will be successful in our development and/or launch of such products and services. Initial timetables for the introduction and development of such new products or services may not be achieved and price and profitability targets may not prove feasible. We may not be successful in introducing these new products and services in response to industry trends or developments in technology, or those new products may not achieve market acceptance. As a result, we could lose business, be forced to price products and services on less advantageous terms to retain or attract clients, or be subject to cost increases. As a result, our business, financial condition or results of operations may be adversely affected.

Our future success is dependent on the continued service of our small management team. Three directors and three executive officers provide leadership to Cloudastructure. One of our directors is also an executive officer of the Company. Our success is dependent on their ability to manage all aspects of our business effectively. Because we are relying on our small management team, we lack certain business development resources that may hurt our ability to grow our business. Although we intend to grow our management team, there is no guarantee that newly added management team members will contribute to Cloudastructure as we hope. Any loss of key members of our executive team could have a negative impact on our ability to manage and grow our business effectively. We do not have employment agreements with any members of our senior management team, nor do we maintain a key person life insurance policy on any of the members of our senior management team. As a result, we would have no way to cover the financial loss if we were to lose the services of our directors or officers. Further, two of our executive officers, Gregory Rayzman and Craig Johnson, serve as officers of the Company on a part-time basis. As such, it is likely that the Company will not make the same progress as it would if these officers worked full-time at the Company.

The Company has multiple notes outstanding beyond their stated maturity date. The Company has previously made multiple issuances of promissory notes and convertible notes that remain outstanding beyond their stated maturity dates. As of December 31, 2019, the total balance of all of the Company’s outstanding notes was $1,943,110.00, which includes accrued interest. As of the date of this Offering Circular, the total outstanding balance of these notes is $2,051,505, which includes accrued interest. Of this balance, $1,586,741.49 is represented by notes that are outstanding beyond their stated maturity date, which balance is immediately due and payable by the Company upon demand by the holders of the notes. To date, the Company has not received a demand for payment by holders of such notes– however, the holders of such notes may make a demand for payment at any time. If such demands are made, it could significantly impair our ability to continue our operations. Further, our failure to pay any of these notes when due or upon demand may prevent us from being able to borrow additional amounts or sell additional securities to finance our business, which could have a significant impact on the Company’s ability to continue its operations.

Any valuation at this stage is difficult to assess. The valuation for this Offering was established by the Company. Unlike listed companies that are valued publicly through market-driven stock prices, the valuation of private companies, especially early-stage companies, is difficult to assess and you may risk overpaying for your investment.

Even if this Offering is successful, we will need to raise additional funding, which may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all. Failure to obtain this necessary capital when needed may force us to delay, limit or terminate our product development efforts or other operations. The proceeds from this Offering, excluding potential proceeds from the exercise of the Warrants sold in this Offering, will be up to $28,571,428 before deducting offering expenses payable by us. We expect that if the maximum sale of Units is achieved, the net proceeds from this Offering will be sufficient to fund our current operations for at least the next 48 months. However, we may not achieve the maximum sale of Units, and/or our operating plan may change as a result of many factors currently unknown to us, and we may need to seek additional funds sooner than planned, through public or private equity or debt financings, government or other third-party funding, marketing and distribution arrangements and other collaborations, strategic alliances or a combination of these approaches. Raising funds in the current economic environment may present additional challenges. It is not certain that we have accounted for all costs and expenses of future development and regulatory compliance. Even if we believe we have sufficient funds for our current or future operating plans, we may seek additional capital if market conditions are favorable or if we have specific strategic considerations.

A pandemic, epidemic or outbreak of an infectious disease in the United States may adversely affect our business. If a pandemic, epidemic or outbreak of an infectious disease occurs in the United States, our business may be adversely affected. In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus, COVID-19, was identified in Wuhan, China. This virus continues to spread globally and, as of April 2020, has spread to over 50 countries, including the United States. The spread of an infectious disease, including COVID-19, may result in the inability of our suppliers to deliver components to us on a timely basis, or our service providers to continue providing services in an effective manner. Further, the spread of a disease such as COVID-19 could lead to unfavorable economic conditions, which would adversely impact our operations. The extent to which the coronavirus impacts our business will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the coronavirus and the actions to contain the coronavirus or treat its impact, among others.

Risks Related to the Securities in this Offering

This investment is illiquid. There is no currently established market for reselling these securities. If you decide that you want to resell these securities in the future, you may not be able to find a buyer. Although the Company intends to apply in the future for quotation of its Common Stock on a national exchange, over-the-counter market, or similar, exchange, there are a number of requirements that the Company may or may not be able to satisfy in a timely manner. Even if we obtain that quotation, we do not know the extent to which investor interest will lead to the development and maintenance of a liquid trading market. You should assume that you may not be able to liquidate your investment for some time or be able to pledge these shares as collateral.

Your ability to transfer your securities may be limited. The Subscription Agreement that investors will enter into, as well as the Warrants, each contain a “market stand-off” provision applicable to shares of the Class A Common Stock in the event of an initial public offering, which may limit or delay an investor’s ability to transfer shares of Class A Common Stock for a period of time surrounding such an offering. See “Securities Being Offered” for further information.

You will incur immediate and substantial dilution in the book value of your shares of Class A Common Stock. You will suffer immediate and substantial dilution in the net tangible book value of the shares of Class A Common Stock that you receive in this Offering. Assuming an offering price of $0.50 per share of Class A Common Stock, and assuming all the Units representing 57,142,856 shares of Class A Common Stock are sold, investors in this Offering will experience dilution of approximately $0.3975 per share of Class A Common Stock in net tangible book value of the Class A Common Stock. See the section entitled “Dilution” for further information.

DILUTION

Dilution means a reduction in value, control or earnings of the shares the investor owns.

Immediate dilution

An early-stage company typically sells its shares (or grants options over its shares) to its founders and early employees at a very low cash cost, because they are, in effect, putting their “sweat equity” into the company. When the Company seeks cash investments from outside investors, like you, the new investors typically pay a much larger sum for their shares than the founders or earlier investors, which means that the cash value of your stake is diluted because all the shares are worth the same amount, and you paid more than earlier investors for your shares.

The following table demonstrates the price that new investors are paying for their shares compared to the effective cash price paid by existing stockholders, giving effect to the Reverse Stock Split (as defined in “Securities Being Offered – Description of Capital Stock”), full conversion of all outstanding stock options and other convertible instruments (SAFE agreements and convertible notes), and assuming that the price per share of Class A Common Stock sold as a component of a Unit is $0.50 per share. The table presents shares and pricing as issued and reflects all transactions since inception, which gives investors a better picture of what they will pay for their investment compared to the Company’s insiders than just including such transactions for the last 12 months, which is what the SEC requires. The share numbers and amounts in this table assumes (1) conversion of all of the Company’s outstanding SAFEs (in the aggregate amount of $712,675); (2) conversion of outstanding convertible notes of the Company; and (3) exercise of all outstanding options into shares of the Company’s Class B Common Stock at weighted average exercise price.

Future dilution

Another important way of looking at dilution is the dilution that happens due to future actions by the company. The investor’s stake in a company could be diluted due to the company issuing additional shares. In other words, when the company issues more shares, the percentage of the company that you own will go down, even though the value of the company may go up. You will own a smaller piece of a larger company. This increase in number of shares outstanding could result from a stock offering (such as an initial public offering, another crowdfunding round, a venture capital round or an angel investment), employees exercising stock options, or by conversion of certain instruments (such as convertible bonds, preferred shares or warrants) into stock.

If the company decides to issue more shares, an investor could experience value dilution, with each share being worth less than before, and control dilution, with the total percentage an investor owns being less than before. There may also be earnings dilution, with a reduction in the amount earned per share (though this typically occurs only if the company offers dividends, and most early stage companies are unlikely to offer dividends, preferring to invest any earnings into the company).

The type of dilution that hurts early-stage investors most occurs when the company sells more shares in a “down round,” meaning at a lower valuation than in earlier offerings. An example of how this might occur is as follows (numbers are for illustrative purposes only):

This type of dilution might also happen upon conversion of convertible notes into shares. Typically, the terms of convertible notes issued by early-stage companies provide that in the event of another round of financing, the holders of the convertible notes get to convert their notes into equity at a “discount” to the price paid by the new investors, i.e., they get more shares than the new investors would for the same price. Additionally, convertible notes may have a “price cap” on the conversion price, which effectively acts as a share price ceiling. Either way, the holders of the convertible notes get more shares for their money than new investors. In the event that the financing is a “down round” the holders of the convertible notes will dilute existing equity holders, and even more than the new investors do, because they get more shares for their money. Investors should pay careful attention to the amount of convertible notes that the company has issued (and may issue in the future, and the terms of those notes.

If you are making an investment expecting to own a certain percentage of the company or expecting each share to hold a certain amount of value, it’s important to realize how the value of those shares can decrease by actions taken by the company. Dilution can make drastic changes to the value of each share, ownership percentage, voting control, and earnings per share.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION AND SELLING SECURITYHOLDERS

Plan of Distribution

The Company is offering up to 28,571,428 Units on a “best efforts” basis at a price of $1.00 per Unit. Each Unit consists of two (2) shares of Class A Common Stock and one (1) Warrant to purchase a share of Class A Common Stock. The shares of Class A Common Stock and the Warrants that are components of the Units will be immediately separable and issued separately but will be purchased together. The minimum subscription is $250, or 250 Units. Of the 85,714,284 shares of Class A Common Stock available under the Offering Statement of which this Offering Circular forms a part, up to 28,571,428 of such shares are issuable upon exercise of the Warrants. Under Regulation A, the Company may only offer $50 million in Units, Warrants and shares of Class A Common Stock during a rolling 12-month period.

THE COMPANY’S BUSINESS

Overview

Cloudastructure was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on March 28, 2003. Cloudastructure provides cloud-controlled physical infrastructure to enterprises in the form of video surveillance and access control in a cloud-model. We provide on-premises hardware that talks to a customer’s cameras and doors. Then we host a cloud solution that allows the customer to see their video (live and recorded) and manage which employee’s badge works on which door from anywhere. Since we are in the cloud, we have available computational resources that would be impractical to build and maintain at each customers' location. These computational resources allow us to provide more advanced AI (artificial intelligence) solutions than are possible in the legacy on-premises model. Such AI solutions include Tagger(tm) which tags all objects seen in a video so that users can search by tag (e.g. "person", "vehicle", "animal", etc.). Essentially, we are indexing our customers’ video surveillance and access control data to make for easy search, just like Google indexed the web for easy search. We also allow the user to use their phone for access instead of using a legacy Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) card or badge.

Our Background

Cloudastructure’s inception was the result of an incident of corporate theft at a previous company of our CEO and founder, Rick Bentley. At his previous venture-backed company in San Francisco during the dot-com boom, someone walked into his company’s headquarters, picked up a laptop with sensitive, confidential data of the company, and walked out the door. Although the company had installed an expensive video surveillance system, someone had unplugged the on-premises system during the theft, and as a result, there was no video of the incident. Systems like these are still the standard today – which is why Cloudastructure believes there is an opportunity to bring innovation and new technology to enhance the field of video surveillance security, and eliminate the weaknesses of today’s standard surveillance systems.

Cloudastructure, Inc. was originally incorporated as “Connexed Technologies, Inc” in 2003, and offered cloud video surveillance systems. On September 1, 2013, Connexed Technologies, Inc. and Reach Systems, Inc., which had been offering cloud access control since 2005, entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement pursuant to Connexed Technologies purchased all of the assets of Reach Systems Inc. The acquisition of Reach System’s Inc.’s assets allowed the Company to recognize the synergies of customer value with the bundling of video surveillance and access control delivered as a cloud-based service. The Company subsequently changed its name to “Cloudastructure, Inc.” on September 28, 2016.

Principal Products and Services

Cloudastructure’s solution centralizes the management of access control and video surveillance. The cloud model allows customers to scale geographically to multiple locations without complicated or insecure network settings. Cloudastructure can support a client’s installation efforts, helping the client get in touch with local installation partners or take turnkey responsibility for delivering the solution seamlessly. The service and support is provided for a monthly subscription, requiring no upfront licensing costs or large capital budgets. As the Company adds more artificial intelligence (e.g. doing what the guard at the front desk does: making sure a face matches the entry badge and that no one "piggybacks" in behind an authorized party without a badge), the Company believes that it will likely be able to increase pricing, in the future, for its cloud-based solution.

Existing Products and Services

Please see below for a summary of our existing products and services.

Our current process is as follows: first, we install our on-premises hardware that interfaces with the customer’s current video surveillance security system. Once installed, we are able to send all the video recorded by the customer’s system to our cloud. Once the video is with us, we have a unique advantage over all on-premises solutions - we can run it all through large GPU's (Graphics Processing Units, faster than CPU's at handling video) that are hosted by third parties running Machine Learning software that can start to see across 100's or 1,000's of cameras better than any single human can. Next, our cloud-based system can index all the objects and faces in the video. This means that the video can be searched by tag: person, animal, vehicle, etc. and even individual faces. Then, when our cloud-based system detects a person, it can attempt to match that person to a face in our database. If we can, we run that through a face recognition system, which allows a search to be conducted to locate a specific person, name, and face. This is what we are currently selling now.

Current higher-level features of our products and services, beyond our standard Video Surveillance and Access Control, include:

Products and Services in Development

Development Timelines

For all of the above development projects, as well as any other future projects of the Company, timeline to completion and costs are intertwined. The more working capital to which we have access, the faster we can develop. However, the more working capital we have, the more we can expand the feature set of a product or service, which can paradoxically increase the timeline to completion of that product or service. Also, for all development projects, we believe executing them in partnership with at least one customer is superior to developing them without end user input. This means that the initial scope of each project usually cannot be known until there is a complete product specification which involves input from third parties that we do not control, and the final scope cannot be known until there are sufficient testing and feedback cycles that enable all parties to agree the product or service is market ready. Additionally, the Company has received new feature requests for our products and services in response to COVID-19. We are in the early stages of understanding both the market and technical issues involved in creating such features. As such, our direction, level of effort and resultant timeline may change rapidly as more information becomes available to us. Therefore, it is difficult for us to provide exact timelines or costs for any of the above products and services at this time. Nonetheless, we have set out below our best estimates as to when the above products and services could be fully developed and brought to market.

Development Timeline for Computer Vision

If we raise the maximum offering amount, we expect to spend approximately $6.5 million on the development of Computer Vision, primarily in the form of salaries, over the next 48 months. If we raise less than the maximum offering amount, we would reduce our spending on the development of Computer Vision as follows: $4.5 million if we raise 75% of the maximum offering amount, $2.5 million if we raise 50% of the maximum offering amount, and $1.2 million if we raise 25% of the maximum offering amount sold.

Development of the Computer Vision features set forth above will each take at least 3 months of development and could take 12 months or longer to get to market, though we believe 6 months is a reasonable goal for each, and development of all the Computer Vision features can be done in parallel. Spending on a feature will not stop when the feature gets to the market, since we may need to maintain or even increase spending in response to customer feedback. The greater the spend, the greater the product-market fit we expect to achieve.

Development Timeline for Door System

If we raise the maximum offering amount, we expect to spend approximately $6 million on the Door System, with $2.1 million in hardware development costs and the remainder in the form of salaries, over the next 48 months. If we raise less than the maximum offering amount, we expect we would scale down the total amount spent on development of the Door System. For example, if we raise 75% of the maximum offering amount, we expect we would spend $4 million on the Door System, consisting of $2.1 million on hardware development and the remainder on salaries. If we raise 50% of the maximum offering amount, we expect we would spend a total of $2.5 million, with $1.7 million on hardware development, and the remainder on salaries. If we raise 25% of the maximum offering amount, we expect we would spend $1.2 million in hardware development, and the remainder on salaries. If we sell significantly less than 25% of our offering, we may not attempt the hardware development of the Door System, but would instead attempt to find a commercial-off-the-shelf alternative that we can integrate into our current product and service offerings.
 

Development of the Door System 2.0 will require 6 months of initial development of the hardware, but the subsequent features can be developed largely in parallel. We believe the Door System will require a minimum 6 months of initial hardware development and could take 12 months or longer to get to market. Some of the Door System features require Computer Vision features to be completed first. Spending on a feature will not stop when the feature gets to the market, since we may need to maintain or even increase spending in response to customer feedback.

Business Model

Cloudastructure operates under a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model. We found that we can compete with incumbents in this industry by pricing by the door and camera per year (e.g. $249/year per camera). We make more recurring revenue than they do while still providing a lower TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) to our customers. However, we believe our higher-level AI features will allow us to achieve security guard level pricing - which is much higher than what we charge now. We intend to benefit from this price elasticity.

The Cloudastructure hardware utilizes state of the art technology, delivered at a very competitive price that beats the industry standards and comes with zero maintenance or replacement costs with a lifetime warranty. Cloudastructure solution centralizes the management of access control with video monitoring and allows customers to scale geographically to multiple locations.

Distribution

Cloudastructure’s services require a physical installation of our on-premises hardware at the client’s desired location. Cloudastructure facilitates this installation – either delivering a turnkey solution to the client itself, or helping the client get in touch with local installation partners to make sure the process is handled smoothly. The service and support is provided for a monthly subscription, requiring no upfront licensing costs or capital budgets.

The Market

Cloudastructure considers itself to be in the video surveillance industry. According to a May 2019 study published by Allied Market Research, the global video surveillance market was valued at $28,184.0 million in 2017, and is projected to reach $87,361.8 million by 2025, growing at a CAGR of 14.2% from 2018 to 2025. Video surveillance systems can be used in nearly any environment. Security and surveillance are required for all organizations worldwide. Governments, enterprises, financial institutions, and healthcare organizations alike are all expected and required to have a certain level of security and monitoring measures. As a result, there has been an increase in the demand for security applications such as video surveillance to monitor and record borders, ports, transportation infrastructure, corporate houses, educational institutes, public places, buildings, and others, which is expected to drive the video surveillance market growth globally.

The increase in demand for security systems has also resulted in an increased demand for more advanced systems, such as Internet Protocol cameras, or IP cameras, which receive control data and send image data via the Internet. They are commonly used for surveillance but unlike analog closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras, they require no local recording device, only a local area network. IP security cameras send their signal over a network, allowing greater information transfer than an analog signal. A growth in transition from analog surveillance to IP cameras and integration of internet-of-things has fueled the growth of the video surveillance market size. However, factors such as high investment cost in data storage technologies and lack of professional expertise in handling IP cameras have hampered the market growth.

With its technological solutions that address problems historically faced in the video surveillance industry, Cloudastructure intends to capitalize on this growing need for sophisticated surveillance systems, targeting small, medium, and enterprise-sized businesses in any industry or market.

Competition

The Company’s primary competitors are Bosch, Tyco, Honeywell, Siemens, Ring Video Doorbell, Dropcam, Lockitron, Latch, Eagle Eye Networks, Brivo, and Kisi. The markets for the Company’s products and services are highly competitive and the Company is confronted by aggressive competition in all areas of its business. These markets are characterized by frequent product introductions and rapid technological advances that have substantially increased the capabilities and use of artificial intelligence security and cloud based video surveillance.

Principal competitive factors important to the Company include price, product features, relative price/performance, product quality and reliability, design innovation, a strong third-party software and accessories ecosystem, marketing and distribution capability, service and support and corporate reputation.

Employees

The Company currently has two employees – Rick Bentley (full-time) and Gregory Rayzman (part-time). The Company has not entered into employment agreements with either Mr. Bentley or Mr. Rayzman.

Outsourcing

We currently outsource a number of key functions of the Company to third parties, including accounting, legal and payroll.

In addition, we host our services on Google and Amazon’s cloud platforms. There are a number of alternative cloud providers that we could utilize, to instead host, such as Microsoft or Digital Ocean, if it became necessary – or we could put our own computers up in a collocation facility to achieve the same result.

Key Customers

As of the date of this Offering Circular, our largest customer, the University of California Santa Barbara, accounted for approximately 34% of our revenue in 2018 and 39% of our revenue in 2019. As with our other customers, we provide our services to this customer on an at-will basis, with no formalized agreement governing the terms of our services in place. We are continuing to develop other customer relationships and, while we value the relationship with this particular customer highly, management believes we are not substantially financially dependent on our relationship with this customer, or any other particular customer of the Company. Since the beginning of the 2020 fiscal year, this customer has represented a smaller portion of our revenues (20% as of March 31, 2020) than 2018 and 2019. Our ideal customer is an enterprise business with multiple locations for our security systems.

Suppliers

We currently utilize third-party suppliers of computers (specifically, x86 models) onto which we install software, ours and third parties’, to turn them into our CloudVideo Recorders(CVRs). To date, we have bought computers primarily through Amazon and Newegg, but there are a large number of suppliers that we could source from for these computers should we have to source from alternative providers for any reason.

Regulation

Our business is not currently subject to any licensing requirements in any jurisdiction in which we operate. This does not mean that licensing requirements may not be introduced in one or more jurisdiction in which we operate, and such requirements could be burdensome and/or expensive or even impose requirements that we are unable to meet.

We are subject to a number of U.S. federal and state laws and regulations that involve matters central to our business. These laws and regulations involve privacy, data protection, and other subjects. Many of the laws and regulations to which we are subject are still evolving and being tested in courts and could be interpreted in ways that could harm our business. In addition, the application and interpretation of these laws and regulations are often uncertain, particularly in the new and rapidly evolving industry in which we operate.

Intellectual Property

The Company does not have any patents or trademarks on which it relies.

Research and Development

We spent $123,367 on research and development in 2018 and $125,726 in 2019.  We expect to increase our research and development expenditures significantly if we raise funds in this Offering.

Litigation

From time to time, the Company may be involved in a variety of legal matters that arise in the normal course of business. The Company is not currently involved in any litigation, and its management is not aware of any pending or threatened legal actions relating to its intellectual property, conduct of its business activities, or otherwise. See “Risk Factors” for a summary of risks our Company may face in relation to litigation against our Company. 

Property

The Company does not currently lease or own any physical premises. The Company currently uses 55 E 3rd Ave., San Mateo, CA 94401 as an address for mailing, but the Company’s operations are generally conducted remotely.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes included in this Offering Circular. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates, and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements.

Overview

Cloudastructure, Inc. is a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Company is headquartered in California. The Company is a technology retailer that focuses on intelligent devices and software for physical security applications.

Basis of Presentation

Net Revenues. Net revenues consist of revenue recognized from subscriptions contracts, door and video services, and sales of controllers and recorders.

Cost of Goods Sold. Cost of goods sold consists of hosting costs and the costs of controllers and recorders.

Operating Expenses.  Operating expenses consist of general and administrative expenses, which are primarily salaries and consulting costs, research and development expenses, consisting primarily of hardware development costs and salaries, and sales and marketing expenses, which represent public relations, advertising and direct marketing costs.

Results of Operations

Net Revenues. The Company’s net revenues for the twelve months ended December 31, 2019 were $76,717 compared to $129,588 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2018 – a decrease of 40.8%, or $52,871. This decrease was primarily the result of a decrease in subscription revenues. In connection with this decrease in net revenues, the Company’s gross profits decreased 99.5% from $119,593 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2018 to $604 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2019.

Operating Expenses. The Company’s operating expenses for the twelve months ended December 31, 2019 were $447,413 compared to $302,376 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2018 – an increase of 48.0%, or $145,037. General and administrative expenses were $316,607 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2019 compared to $170,540 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2018, an increase of 85.6%. This increase was primarily the result of higher salary and consultant costs. Research and development expenses remained relatively flat from 2018 to 2019, as the company spent $123,367 and $125,736, respectively.

Interest Expense. The Company’s interest expense for the twelve months ended December 31, 2019 was $89,841 compared to $71,602 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2018 – an increase of 25.5%, or $18,239. This increase was primarily the result of increased interest on convertible notes, as the Company issued additional notes. (See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below.)

Other Income/Expense.  The Company’s other income/expense for the twelve months ended December 31, 2019 was $0 compared to income of $1,088,030 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2018. In 2018, the Company realized other income of $1,088,030 pertaining to the forgiveness of unpaid compensation owed to Rick Bentley, an officer of the Company. Mr. Bentley relinquished all rights to collect any of that forgiven unpaid compensation. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, Mr. Bentley is still owed $120,000 of unpaid compensation. The Company intends to use a portion of the net proceeds from this Offering to pay this compensation to Mr. Bentley.

Net Income. As a result of the foregoing, the Company suffered a net loss of $536,650 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2019, compared to net income of $833,646 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2018.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Since inception, the Company has relied on raising funds from the issuance of convertible notes and SAFEs to fund its business. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had cash on hand of $2,892 and a negative working capital of $16,444 and could incur additional losses prior to generating additional positive working capital from operations. The Company also has an accumulated deficit in earnings since inception. During the next twelve months, the Company intends to fund its operations with funding from the issuance of SAFEs via a crowdfunding offering pursuant to Regulation Crowdfunding, issuance of the securities in this Offering, capital contributions from investors, and funds from revenue producing activities.

As of the date of this Offering Circular, the Company has cash reserves of approximately $88,925. We expect our current capital will be able to fund operations for the next 6 months. If we raise 25% of the maximum offering amount, we expect we will be able to fund our operations for the next 24 months without raising additional capital. If we raise more than 50% of the maximum offering amount, we expect we will be able to fund our operations for the next 36 months. If we raise 75% or more of the maximum offering amount, we expect we will be able to fund our operations for the next 48 months. If the Company raises less than 25% of the maximum offering amount, we expect that the amount of time we will be able to continue our operations without raising additional capital will decrease in proportion to the amount raised, with a minimum of 6 months of operations before requiring additional capital.

Issuance of Convertible Notes

In 2018 and prior years, the Company issued promissory notes and convertible notes in exchange for cash for the purpose of funding its continuing operations (the “Notes”). The Notes accrue interest at the rate of four to six percent per annum and are convertible to equity at a pre-determined discount to market value under certain predefined conditions. Such conditions include a qualified equity financing, election by a majority of noteholders on the maturity date of the associated Notes to convert the Notes, or a sale of the Company.

As of December 31, 2019, the total outstanding principal balance of the Notes was $1,943,110.00, including accrued interest. As of the date of this Offering Circular, the total outstanding balance of these Notes is $2,051,505, which includes accrued interest. Of this balance, $1,586,741.49 is represented by Notes that are outstanding beyond their stated maturity date, and are immediately due and payable by the Company upon demand by the holders of these Notes. To date, the Company has not received a demand for payment by holders of such Notes that outstanding beyond their stated maturity date – however, the holders of such Notes may make such a demand for payment at any time.

Promissory Note With Optional Conversion

In December 2019, accounts payable of $92,730.50 from a vendor was converted into a promissory note. The note is repayable in December 2026, or upon a change of control if earlier, and bears no interest. The noteholder has the option to convert all or any portion of the balance into securities of the type issued in any financing of the Company, exercisable within thirty (30) days following the closing of such financing. The Company intends to use a portion of the net proceeds of this Offering to repay the promissory note.

Issuance of SAFES

On July 16, 2019, the Company completed a Regulation Crowdfunding offering in which it entered into SAFE agreements (Simple Agreement for Future Equity) with investors in exchange for cash investments totaling $380,725. The SAFE agreements have no interest rate or maturity date. The SAFE agreements are convertible at the option of the Company upon an equity financing of the Company in which $1,000,000 in net proceeds are received into shares of the Common Stock or Preferred Stock of the Company issued in such equity financing. The number of shares the SAFE agreements are convertible into is determined by whichever calculation provides for the greater number of shares between: A) an 80% discount to the pricing in the triggering equity financing; and B) the price implied by a $7,000,000 valuation cap divided by the capitalization of the Company (as defined in the agreements) at the triggering equity financing. As of December 31, 2019, the SAFE agreements have not yet converted. The Company does not intend to allow these SAFEs to convert into shares of Class A Common Stock.

On November 1, 2019, the Company commenced another Regulation Crowdfunding offering in which it is entering into SAFE Agreements with investors. The SAFE agreements become convertible into shares of Preferred Stock of the Company (currently none are authorized) issued in a future equity financing of the Company. The number of shares the SAFE agreements are convertible into is determined by whichever calculation provides for the greater number of shares between: A) an 80% discount to the pricing in the triggering equity financing; and B) the price implied by a $10,000,000 valuation cap divided by the capitalization of the Company (as defined in the agreements) at the triggering equity financing. For up to the first $100,000 raised in this offering, investors entered into a SAFE with the same terms, except for a lower valuation cap of $9,000,000. As of the date of this Offering Circular, the Company has raised $331,590 from the issuance of SAFEs to investors in this Offering. As of December 31, 2019, the SAFE agreements have not yet converted as a qualifying financing had not yet occurred. This Offering will not trigger the conversion of these SAFEs into shares of Class A Common Stock.

Subsequent Events

Sales of Common Stock

On February 20, 2020 the Company sold 30,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock to Richard Bentley, its Chief Executive Officer, in exchange for a promissory note of $6,000. See “Interest of Management and Others in Certain Transactions.”

Trend Information

We have been primarily focused on research and development for the last two fiscal years, with less focus on sales, inventory, order book or costs and selling prices. However, we still generate a modest amount of sales, and we currently have several large partnership opportunities in play. If we are able to capitalize on these partnership opportunities, we expect that our sales and revenues will significantly increase.

A continuing trend we’ve identified is the increase of camera pixel counts. Only 10 years ago, a typical camera might have 640x480 pixels. Today a typical camera has 1920x1080 pixels – with some cameras having twice that pixel count in each dimension. The increase in pixel count means there is more to see and our computational resources go up commensurately. We have noticed from the beginning of our business operations that our computational resources tend to follow Moore's Law (computational power doubles every 18-24 months) and the pixel count increases significantly slower than that. This means that even though camera pixel counts continue to increase, which drives our computational load, the increase is slower than the rate at which computational resources become available to us. As such, we believe this trend will not cause any computational issues for us as these technological trends continue.

INTEREST OF MANAGEMENT AND OTHERS IN CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS

On February 20, 2020 the Company sold 30,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock to Richard Bentley, its Chief Executive Officer, for an aggregate purchase price of $6,000 pursuant to a Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement of the same date. Mr. Bentley issued a promissory note to the Company in the principal amount of $6,000. The note accrues interest at 1.86% per annum, and has a maturity date of February 20, 2030. As of the date of this Offering, this note is still outstanding. Copies of the promissory note and the agreement are filed as Exhibits 6.4 and 6.5 to the Offering Statement.

Prior to 2018, the Company issued multiple notes to its Chief Executive Officer, Rick Bentley, in total principal amount of $29,200. Of this amount, $24,200 in principal is represented by promissory notes accruing interest at a rate of 6% per annum, and $5,000 in principal is represented by a convertible promissory note that accrues interest at a rate of 5% per annum. The terms of this offering will not trigger a conversion of Mr. Bentley’s convertible note. All of these notes are outstanding beyond their stated maturity date as of the date of this Offering Circular, and are filed as Exhibit 6.2 to the Offering Statement

In 2018, the Company realized a gain of $1,088,030 pertaining to the forgiveness of unpaid compensation owed to an officer, Rick Bentley, of the Company. Rick Bentley has irrevocably and without condition relinquished all rights to collect any of that forgiven unpaid compensation. As of the date of this Offering, Mr. Bentley is still owed $120,000 of unpaid compensation which is categorized as accrued expenses. The Company intends to repay this amount with proceeds from the Offering. (See “Use of Proceeds”).

Other than the transactions listed above and payment of compensation under employment contracts, no officer, director or holder of a 10% or greater interest in the equity of the Company (or family member thereof) has entered into any proposed or current transaction with the Company that exceeds $120,000 or 1% of the average of the Company’s total assets at the end of the last two fiscal years and the current fiscal year.

SECURITIES BEING OFFERED

The Company is offering up to 28,571,428 Units, each consisting of two (2) shares of Class A Common Stock and one (1) Warrant exercisable to purchase one (1) share of Class A Common Stock, at a price of $1.00 per Unit. Our Units will not be certificated and the shares of our Class A Common Stock and the Warrants that are components of such Units will be immediately separable and will be issued separately in this Offering.

The price of our Units has been arbitrarily established by us after giving consideration to numerous factors, including market conditions and the perceived valuations. The price of our Units may not be in any way indicative of the Company’s actual value or the value of the Class A Common Stock and/or the Warrants following the completion of this Offering.

Warrants

The following is a brief summary of certain terms and conditions of the Warrants included in the Units. The Warrants are subject in all respects to the provisions contained in the Warrants and the warrant agreement (the “Warrant Agreement”) between us and our warrant agent, VStock Transfer, LLC (the “Warrant Agent”), each filed as an exhibit to the Offering Statement of which this Offering Circular forms a part.

Form

The Warrants will be issued as individual warrants to purchasers of the Units.

Amount

Each purchaser of a Unit will receive a Warrant exercisable into one share of Class A Common Stock at a price of $0.75 per share, subject to customary adjustments.

Exercisability

Each Warrant is exercisable to purchase one share of Class A Common Stock of the Company at any time commencing on the issuance date of the Warrant, and terminating at 5:00 p.m., Pacific Time, on the eighteen-month anniversary of the issuance date of the Warrant. The Warrants may be exercised upon delivery of an exercise notice at the offices of the Warrant Agent or by using a website that the Company will establish to permit online exercise. A Warrant holder may only exercise its warrants for a whole number of shares of Class A Common Stock. No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of Warrants.

Transferability

Subject to applicable laws, the Warrants may be offered for sale, sold, transferred or assigned without our consent. Exercise of the Warrants will be conditional upon the Company maintaining the qualification of an offering statement covering such exercise. In addition, the Warrantholders will be subject to a “market stand-off” agreement in the event of a proposed public offering. During the period, not to exceed 180 days, commencing on the effective date of a registration statement relating to the IPO of the Company and ending on the date specified by the Company and the managing underwriter of the IPO, Warrantholders agree not to transfer any shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company held by the holders, or securities convertible or exercisable or exchangeable for securities of the Company, without the prior written consent of the managing underwriter. Warrantholders agree to execute any agreements as may be reasonably requested by the underwriters of the IPO to effect the market stand-off.

Rights as a Stockholder

Except as otherwise provided in the Warrants or by virtue of such holder’s ownership of shares of our Class A Common Stock, the holder of a Warrant does not have the rights or privileges of a holder of our Class A Common Stock, including any voting rights, until the holder exercises the Warrant.

Amendments

Except as set forth in the Warrant Agreement, the terms of a Warrant may be amended or waived with the written consent of the Company and the Warrantholder. The Company and the Warrant Agent may amend or supplement the Warrant Agreement without the consent of any holder for the purpose of (i) curing any ambiguity, or curing, correcting or supplementing any defective provision contained in the Warrant Agreement or the Warrants, (ii) evidencing the succession of another corporation to the Company and the assumption by any such successor of the covenants of the Company contained in the Warrant agreement and the Warrants, (iii) evidencing and providing for the acceptance of appointment by a successor Warrant Agent with respect to the Warrants, (iv) adding to the covenants of the Company for the benefit of the Warrant holders or surrendering any right or power conferred upon the Company under the Warrant Agreement, or (viii) amending the Warrant Agreement and the Warrants in any manner that the Company may deem to be necessary or desirable and that will not adversely affect the interests of the Warrant holders in any material respect.

Description of Capital Stock

The following description summarizes the most important terms of the Company’s capital stock. This summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the provisions of Cloudastructure’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws, copies of which have been filed as exhibits to the Offering Statement of which this Offering Circular is a part. For a complete description of Cloudastructure’s capital stock, you should refer to the amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Company and to the applicable provisions of Delaware law.

On April 17, 2020, the Company filed an amended and restated certificate of incorporation that effected a 1-for-20 reverse split of its outstanding Common Stock, and also designated two new classes of Common Stock – Class A and Class B (the “Reverse Stock Split”). All outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company prior to the Reverse Stock Split became shares of Class B Common Stock following the Reverse Stock Split. Upon effecting the Reverse Stock Split, the authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 350,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, consisting of 250,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock and 100,000,000 shares of Class B Common Stock. Immediately before the Reverse Stock Split, the outstanding number of shares of the Company was 59,617,776 shares of Common Stock. Immediately after the effectiveness of the Reverse Stock Split, the Company’s outstanding capital stock was 2,980,888 shares of Class B Common Stock, and no shares of Class A Common Stock. We refer to the Class A and Class B Common Stock together as our “Common Stock”. The rights and preferences of the Common Stock are described below. As of immediately after the effectiveness of the Reverse Stock Split on April 17, 2020, the Company had 4,449,333 shares of Class B Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of options.

Audited Financial Statements (Restated)

For the calendar years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

May 22, 2020

We have audited the accompanying restated financial statements of Cloudastructure, Inc. (a corporation organized in Delaware) (the “Company”), which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the related statements of income, stockholders’ equity/deficit, and cash flows for the calendar periods thus ended, and the related notes to the restated financial statements.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit of the Company’s financial statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.  We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the restated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the restated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its operations, shareholders’ equity/deficit and cash flows for the calendar year periods thus ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Going Concern

The accompanying restated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in the Notes to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's evaluation of the events and conditions and management's plans regarding these matters are also described in the Notes to the financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

Sincerely,

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (RESTATED)

Calendar years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018

See accompanying Independent Auditor’s Report

NOTE 1 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Cloudastructure, Inc. (“the Company”) is a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Company is headquartered in California. The Company is a technology retailer that focuses on intelligent devices and software for physical security applications.

Since inception, the Company has relied on raising convertible loans to fund its business.  As of December 31, 2019, the Company had little working capital and could incur losses prior to generating additional positive working capital from operations.  The Company also has an accumulated deficit in earnings since inception. These matters raise substantial concern about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  During the next twelve months, the Company intends to fund its operations with funding from a crowdfunding campaign, an offering under Regulation A, capital contributions from investors and funds from revenue producing activities if any.  These financial statements and related notes thereto do not include any adjustments that might result from these uncertainties.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for the fair presentation of the financial statements for the years presented have been included.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the footnotes thereto. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Risks and Uncertainties

The Company has a limited operating history. The Company's business and operations are sensitive to general business and economic conditions in the United States. A host of factors beyond the Company's control could cause fluctuations in these conditions. Adverse conditions may include: recession, downturn or otherwise, changes in regulations or restrictions in imports, competition or changes in consumer taste. These adverse conditions could affect the Company's financial condition and the results of its operations. As of December 31, 2019, the Company is operating as a going concern. See Notes 1 and 10 for additional information.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash consists of funds held in the Company’s checking account. The Company maintains its cash with a major financial institution located in the United States of America, which it believes to be credit worthy. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insures balances up to $250,000. At times, the Company may maintain balances in excess of the federally insured limits. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company had $2,892 and $8,498 cash on hand, respectively.

Receivables and Credit Policy

Trade receivables from customers are uncollateralized customer obligations due under normal trade terms, primarily requiring payment before services are rendered. Trade receivables are stated at the amount billed to the customer. Payments of trade receivables are allocated to the specific invoices identified on the customer’s remittance advice or, if unspecified, are applied to the earliest unpaid invoice. The Company, by policy, routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers. As a result, the Company believes that its accounts receivable credit risk exposure is limited and it has not experienced any significant write-downs in its accounts receivable balances. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company had $17,077 and $32,574 in accounts receivable, respectively. Based on the creditworthiness of its customers and the history of collections, the Company has not accrued for any bad debts as of these dates.

Sales Taxes

Various states impose a sales tax on the Company’s sales to non-exempt customers. The Company collects the sales tax from customers and remits the entire amount to each respective state. The Company’s accounting policy is to exclude the tax collected and remitted to the states from revenue and cost of sales.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost if the expenditure exceeds $1,000. Expenditures for renewals and improvements that significantly add to the productive capacity or extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. When equipment is retired or sold, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the balance sheet accounts and the resultant gain or loss is reflected in income.

Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method, based on useful lives of the assets which range from three to fifteen years depending on the asset type.

The Company reviews the carrying value of property and equipment for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable from the estimated future cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. In cases where undiscounted expected future cash flows are less than the carrying value, an impairment loss is recognized equal to an amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of assets. The factors considered by management in performing this assessment include current operating results, trends and prospects, the manner in which the property is used, and the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition, and other economic factors. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company maintained very few fixed assets.

Fair Value Measurements

The Company has determined the fair value of certain assets and liabilities in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), which provides a framework for measuring fair value.

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques should maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

A fair value hierarchy has been established, which prioritizes the valuation inputs into three broad levels. Level 1 inputs consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the related asset or liability. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs related to the asset or liability.

Income Taxes

The Company is taxed as a C corporation. The Company complies with FASB ASC 740 for accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company’s financial statements, which prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. FASB ASC 740 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. Based on the Company’s evaluation, it has been concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Company’s financial statements. The Company believes that its income tax positions would be sustained on audit and does not anticipate any adjustments that would result in a material change to its financial position.

The Company has incurred taxable losses since inception but is current in its tax filing obligations. The Company is not presently subject to any income tax audit in any taxing jurisdiction.

Revenue Recognition

The Company adopted ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, as of January 1, 2019 (the “transition date”) using the full retrospective method. There was no transition adjustment recorded upon the adoption of ASC 606. Under ASC 606, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services.

To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that an entity determines are within the scope of ASC 606, the Company performs the following steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. At contract inception, once the contract is determined to be within the scope of ASC 606, the Company assesses the goods or services promised within each contract and determines those that are performance obligations and assesses whether each promised good or service is distinct. The Company then recognizes as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied.

Revenue from subscription contracts with customers is recognized ratably over the period that commences on the subscription start date and ending on the date the subscription term expires.

Revenue from door and video services is generally recognized at the completion of the professional services.

Revenue from sales of controllers and recorders is generally recognized at time of delivery.

Sales and Marketing Expenses

The Company expenses advertising costs as they are incurred.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2017, FASB issued ASU No. 2017-02, “Leases (Topic 842),” that requires organizations that lease assets, referred to as "lessees," to recognize on the balance sheet the assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by those leases with lease terms of more than 12 months. ASU 2017-02 will also require disclosures to help investors and other financial statement users better understand the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases and will include qualitative and quantitative requirements. The new standard for nonpublic entities will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and early application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the updated standard will have on its financial statements and related disclosures. The Company will adopt this standard after required to and when applicable to the Company.

In May 2018, FASB issued ASU 2018-09, “Compensation- Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting”, clarifies such that an entity must apply modification accounting to changes in the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award unless all of the following criteria are met: (1) the fair value of the modified award is the same as the fair value of the original award immediately before the modification. The ASU indicates that if the modification does not affect any of the inputs to the valuation technique used to value the award, the entity is not required to estimate the value immediately before and after the modification; (2) the vesting conditions of the modified award are the same as the vesting conditions of the original award immediately before the modification; and (3) the classification of the modified award as an equity instrument or a liability instrument is the same as the classification of the original award immediately before the modification. The ASU is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this standard will have on our consolidated financial statements and will adopt this change when applicable to the Company.

The FASB issues ASUs to amend the authoritative literature in ASC. There have been a number of ASUs to date, including those above, that amend the original text of ASC. Management believes that those issued to date either (i) provide supplemental guidance, (ii) are technical corrections, (iii) are not applicable to the Company, or (iv) are not expected to have a material impact the Company’s financial statements.
