Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company

 

We are not subject to the ongoing reporting requirements of the 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:

 

  · annual reports (including disclosure relating to our business operations for the preceding three fiscal years, or, if in existence for less than three years, since inception, related party transactions, beneficial ownership of the issuer’s securities, executive officers and directors and certain executive compensation information, management’s discussion and analysis (“MD&A”) of the issuer’s liquidity, capital resources, and results of operations, and two years of audited financial statements),
  · semiannual reports (including disclosure primarily relating to the issuer’s interim financial statements and MD&A) and
  · current reports for certain material events.

 

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:

 

4

 

 

  · will not be required to obtain an auditor attestation on our internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002;
  · will not be required to provide a detailed narrative disclosure discussing our compensation principles, objectives and elements and analyzing how those elements fit with our principles and objectives (commonly referred to as “compensation discussion and analysis”);
  · will not be required to obtain a non-binding advisory vote from our stockholders on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements (commonly referred to as the “say-on-pay,” “say-on-frequency” and “say-on-golden-parachute” votes);
  · will be exempt from certain executive compensation disclosure provisions requiring a pay-for-performance graph and CEO pay ratio disclosure;
  · may present only two years of audited financial statements and only two years of related Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, or MD&A; and
  · will be eligible to claim longer phase-in periods for the adoption of new or revised financial accounting standards.

 

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 under Section 107 of the JOBS Act. 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 Commission’s rules. 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.

SUMMARY

 

Our Company

 

We are a dental innovation company with a team of engineering, dental, manufacturing, regulatory, design and business experts dedicated to improving lives through easy and effective oral care products. To address global oral disease, considering the fact that 9 out of 10 people don' t brush correctly, we are developing our flagship product, the Encompass toothbrush, a revolutionary half-mouth toothbrush. The Encompass toothbrush is being designed to prevent user error while providing a thorough cleaning in just 20 seconds. Leading our engineering efforts is our Chief Technical Officer, Gerald Brewer, the former Director of Engineering for Optiva (the maker of Sonicare), Ultreo, Inc. (the maker of the Ultreo ultrasound toothbrush) and Pacific Bioscience Laboratories (maker of the Clarisonic toothbrush). We have established relationships with engineering suppliers and manufacturers with solid experience in supplying and manufacturing leading oral care products. We have a U.S. patent covering our toothbrush design with a provisional worldwide patent application pending, as well as other patentable intellectual property relating to our current and future products.

 

We are developing a half-mouth J-shaped electric toothbrush with flex fingers to adjust to the teeth and full coverage bristles for proper bristle contact with each tooth. We developed and tested various working proof-of-concept prototypes validating our pump/bladder system, adjustability, size and fit. Our pump and bladder design in the brush head provides for 100 brush stokes per second.

 

The next steps to our development of Encompass is to finalize the bristle technology, configuration and material. Thereafter we intend to distribute our Encompass toothbrushes, beginning with our pre-orders through Indiegogo.com. Encompass falls into a generic category of exempted Class I devices as defined in 21 CFR Parts 862-892. A premarket notification application and FDA clearance is therefore not required before marketing the device in the U.S.

 

We plan to market and advertise Encompass through our website, social media, product placement (in movies, etc.), brochures to dental professionals, trade shows, infomercials, and commercials. Youth friendly tie-ins/licensing deals will be pursued for the “kids” brush. We will also launch a philanthropic “buy one, give one” campaign when on the market.

RISK FACTORS

 

The Commission 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 hacking and the ability to prevent hacking). Additionally, early-stage companies are inherently riskier than more developed companies. You should consider general risks as well as specific risks when deciding whether to invest.

 

Risks Related to our Business and Operating Environment

 

We are an early stage company and have not yet recognized revenue or profits.

 

We were formed on March 22, 2007 but were dormant from 2012 until 2019. Since that time, we have focused on developing our technology and a prototype electric toothbrush, relying on securing loans, funding from founders and other investors and proceeds from product pre-sales. We have incurred only net losses to date. Further, we have never turned a profit and there is no assurance that we will ever be profitable. Accordingly, we have a limited operating history upon which you can evaluate our our performance or future prospects. We cannot assure you that we will be profitable in the future or generate sufficient revenues to pay dividends to the holders of our Common Stock.

 

The loss of one or more of our key personnel, or our failure to attract and retain other highly qualified personnel in the future, could harm our business.

 

To be successful, we require capable people to run our day to day operations and develop our products. We are highly reliant on a small management team, and in particular our founders, Ryan Schwartz and Cary Schwartz, and our Chief Technical Officer, Gerald Brewer, to drive forward the development and commercialization of our products. We do not have any “key person” insurance and the loss of any of our key personnel may have a material adverse affect on our business and ability to grow and achieve profitability. Furthermore, as we grow, we will need to attract and hire additional employees in sales, marketing, design, development, operations, finance, legal, human resources and other areas. Depending on the economic environment and our performance, we may not be able to locate or attract qualified individuals for such positions when we need them. We may also make hiring mistakes, which can be costly in terms of resources spent in recruiting, hiring and investing in the incorrect individual and in the time delay in locating the right employee fit. If we are unable to attract, hire and retain the right talent or make too many hiring mistakes, it is likely our business will suffer from not having the right employees in the right positions at the right time. This would likely adversely impact the value of your investment.

 

We face significant market competition.

 

We will compete with larger, established companies who currently have products on the market and/or various respective product development programs. They may have much better financial means and marketing/sales and human resources than us. They may succeed in developing and marketing competing equivalent products earlier than us, or superior products than those developed by us. Competitors may render our technology or products obsolete or products developed by us may not be preferred to any existing or newly developed technologies. Furthermore, this level of competition may intensify in the future.

 

We are reliant on one main type of product offering.

 

All of our anticipated product offerings are centered around oral care products. Our revenues and ability to operate profitably therefore will be dependent upon the market for oral care products. To the extent that the market for oral care products such as ours declines, whether through the introduction of new technology, consumer pricing pressure or otherwise, we may not be able to sell our products in sufficient quantity or at price points that cover our expenses. If this were to occur, we may not be able to operate profitably and you could lose your investment.

 

9

 

 

Some of our products are still in prototype phase and might never be operational products.

 

Developing new products and technologies entails significant risks and uncertainties We are currently in the development stage and, although we have developed a number of proof-of-concept prototypes, we have not yet finalized a working prototype for manufacturing. Delays or cost overruns in the development of our Encompass toothbrush and failure of the product to meet our performance estimates may be caused by, among other things, unanticipated technological hurdles, difficulties in manufacturing, changes to design and regulatory hurdles. Any of these events could materially and adversely affect our operating performance and results of operations.

 

It is possible that we may never create an operational product or that the product may never be manufactured or sold to consumers. It is This could result in our making a determination that our business model is not sustainable and continuing operations are not be in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders, in which case you could lose your investment.

 

This is a new and unproven product.

 

Our growth expectations are based on an assumption that we will be to successfully launch our product and that it will be able to gain traction in the marketplace at a similar rate to previously launched electric toothbrushes by our competitors. The Encompass toothbrush is a completely new product that we're introducing into a crowded field of electric toothbrushes. Regardless of any current perceptions of the market, it is entirely possible that our product will not gain significant acceptance with any group of customers. In addition, it is entirely possible that no company will be able to create a half-mouth or full -mouth product that generates significant sales, rendering our intellectual property worthless. If the product fails to achieve significant sales and acceptance in the marketplace, this could materially and adversely impact the value of your investment.

 

We will rely on third parties to provide services essential to the success of our business.

 

We will rely on third parties to provide a variety of essential business functions for us, including manufacturing, shipping, retailing, and distribution. It is possible that some of these third parties will fail to perform their services or will perform them in an unacceptable manner. It is possible that we will experience delays, defects, errors, or other problems with their work that will materially impact our operations and damage our reputation and brand. We may have little or no recourse to recover damages for these losses. Similarly, a disruption in key or other suppliers' operations could prevent us from being able to ship our product in a timely manner or at all, which could materially and adversely affect our business and damage our reputation and brand.

 

Our future products could have a latent design flaw or manufacturing defect.

 

Although we have done extensive testing on our product and intend to conduct more testing, it is possible that there is a design flaw that will require us to recall all or a significant number of products that we have delivered to customers. Similarly, it is possible that our manufacturer will introduce a defect during the manufacturing process, triggering a recall. A major recall of our products would be expensive and could significantly impact our financial condition and result of operations. We may not have the ongoing resources to cover these losses and our business may not survive.

 

We have existing patents that we might not be able to protect properly.

 

One of the our most valuable assets is our intellectual property. We have one 21 claim utility patent, and own trademarks, copyrights, Internet domain names, and trade secrets. Competitors may misappropriate or violate our intellectual property rights. Unauthorized parties may attempt to copy or otherwise obtain and use our products or technology. Many companies have encountered significant problems in protecting and defending intellectual property rights in foreign jurisdictions. The legal systems of certain countries do not favor the enforcement of patents or other intellectual property rights, which could hinder us from preventing the infringement of our patents or other intellectual property rights. Monitoring unauthorized use of our intellectual property is difficult, and we cannot be certain that the steps we have taken will prevent unauthorized use of our technology, particularly in certain foreign countries where the local laws may not protect our proprietary rights as fully as in the United States or may provide, today or in the future, for compulsory licenses. Proceedings to enforce our patent rights in the United States or foreign jurisdictions could result in substantial costs and divert our efforts and attention from other aspects of our business, could put our patents at risk of being invalidated or interpreted narrowly and could provoke third parties to assert patent infringement or other claims against us. We may not have the resources to adequately enforce our patent rights. We may not prevail in any lawsuits that we initiate and the damages or other remedies awarded, if any, may not be commercially meaningful. Accordingly, our efforts to enforce our intellectual property rights around the world may be inadequate to obtain a significant commercial advantage from the intellectual property that we develop. If competitors are able to use our technology, our ability to compete effectively could be harmed.

 

10

 

 

Moreover, in the future we may grant lenders liens on substantially all of our assets, including our intellectual property, as collateral. In such instances, if we default on our payment obligations under any future secured loans, such lenders would have the right to foreclose upon and control the disposition of our assets, including our intellectual property assets, to satisfy our payment obligations under such instruments. If such a default were to occur, and our intellectual property assets are sold or licensed, our business could be materially adversely affected.

 

Our trademarks, copyrights and other intellectual property could be unenforceable or ineffective.

 

Intellectual property is a complex field of law in which few things are certain. It is possible that competitors will be able to design around our intellectual property, find prior art to invalidate it, or render our patent unenforceable through some other mechanism. If competitors are able to bypass our trademark and copyright protection without obtaining a sublicense, it is likely that the Company's value will be materially and adversely impacted. This could also impair the Company's ability to compete in the marketplace. Moreover, if our trademarks and copyrights are deemed unenforceable, the Company will almost certainly lose any potential revenue it might be able to raise by entering into sublicenses. This would cut off a significant potential revenue stream for the Company.

 

The cost of enforcing our trademarks and copyrights could prevent us from enforcing them.

 

Trademark and copyright litigation has become extremely expensive. Even if we believe that a competitor is infringing on one or more of our trademarks or copyrights, we might choose not to file suit because we lack the cash to successfully prosecute a multi-year litigation with an uncertain outcome; or because we believe that the cost of enforcing our trademark(s) or copyright(s) outweighs the value of winning the suit in light of the risks and consequences of losing it; or for some other reason. Choosing not to enforce our trademark(s) or copyright(s), could have adverse consequences for us, including undermining the credibility of our intellectual property, reducing our ability to enter into sublicenses, and weakening our attempts to prevent competitors from entering the market. As a result, if we are unable to enforce our trademark(s) or copyright(s) because of the cost of enforcement, you could lose the value of your investment.

 

Our auditor has issued a "going concern" opinion.

 

Our auditor has issued a "going concern" opinion on our financial statements, which means that our auditor is not sure if we will be able to succeed as a business. To date, we have not generated revenues from our principal operations and have sustained losses since inception. Because losses will continue until such time that we can complete a working Encompass toothbrush and begin selling them and have no committed source of financing, we rely on financing to support our operations. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We intend to fund our operations through the sale of our securities to third parties and related parties or through credit facilities. If we cannot raise enough capital, we may consume all our cash reserved before we can generate revenue. There are no assurances that management will be able to raise capital on terms acceptable to us. If we are unable to obtain sufficient amounts of additional capital, it could harm our business, financial condition, and operating results. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from these uncertainties.

 

11

 

 

If we cannot raise sufficient funds we will not succeed.

 

We are offering shares of Class A Common Stock in the amount of up to $[________] in this offering, and may close on any investments that are made, since there is no minimum offering amount. We have previously issued $1,070,000 of convertible notes in an offering under Regulation Crowdfunding that mature on April 30, 2023 and, together with accrued interest of $16,268.36 through October 31, 2020, would be converted into Class A Common Stock at that time unless converted into equity prior to that date. Even if we raise the maximum amount in this offering, we are likely to need additional funds in the future in order to grow, and if it cannot raise those funds for whatever reason, including reasons relating to the company itself or the broader economy, we may not survive. If we raise less than the maximum offering amount, we will have to find other sources of funding for some of our plans outlined in "Use of Proceeds."

 

We may not have enough capital as needed and may be required to raise more capital. We anticipate needing access to credit in order to support our working capital requirements as we grow. Although interest rates are low, it is still a difficult environment for obtaining credit on favorable terms. If we cannot obtain credit when we need it, we could be forced to raise additional equity capital, modify our growth plans, or take some other action. Issuing more equity may require bringing on additional investors. Securing these additional investors could require pricing our equity below its current price. If so, your investment could lose value as a result of this additional dilution. In addition, even if the equity is not priced lower, your ownership percentage would be decreased with the addition of more investors. If we are unable to find additional investors willing to provide capital, then it is possible that we will choose to cease our operations. In that case, the only asset remaining to generate a return on your investment could be our intellectual property. Even if we are not forced to cease operations, the unavailability of credit could result in the Company performing below expectations, which could adversely impact the value of your investment.

 

Terms of subsequent financings may adversely impact your investment.

 

We will likely need to engage in common equity, debt, or preferred stock financings in the future, which may reduce the value of your investment in the Common Stock. Interest on debt securities could increase costs and negatively impact operating results. Preferred stock could be issued in series from time to time with such designation, rights, preferences, and limitations as needed to raise capital. The terms of preferred stock could be more advantageous to those investors than to the holders of our Common Stock. In addition, if we need to raise more equity capital from the sale of Common Stock, institutional or other investors may negotiate terms that are likely to be more favorable than the terms of your investment, and possibly a lower purchase price per share.

 

We have a high level of discretion as to the use of proceeds from this offering.

 

Our success will be substantially dependent upon the discretion and judgment of our management team with respect to the application and allocation of the proceeds of this offering. The use of proceeds described below is an estimate based on our current business plan. We, however, may find it necessary or advisable to re-allocate portions of the net proceeds reserved for one category to another, and we will have broad discretion in doing so.

 

We may be significantly impacted by the worldwide economic downturn due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.  Efforts to contain the spread of COVID-19 have intensified and the U.S., Europe and Asia have implemented severe travel restrictions and social distancing. The impacts of the outbreak are unknown and rapidly evolving. A widespread health crisis has adversely affected and could continue to affect the global economy, resulting in an economic downturn that could negatively impact the value of the company’s shares and investor demand for shares generally.

 

This downturn could also materially adversely affect our potential suppliers and manufacturers, resulting in a decrease in their capacity to supply us with components for products or to manufacture our products, or an increase in the costs for supplies and manufacturing facilities. We also may not be able to engage in selling and marketing efforts that involve in person sales approach. An inability to attend trade shows may slow marketing to dental professionals and slow uptake of our product. Each of these events could materially affect our ability to grow our business.

 

12

 

 

The continued spread of COVID-19 has also led to severe disruption and volatility in the global capital markets, which could increase our cost of capital and adversely affect our ability to access the capital markets in the future. It is possible that the continued spread of COVID-19 could cause a further economic slowdown or recession or cause other unpredictable events, each of which could adversely affect our business, results of operations or financial condition.

 

The extent to which COVID-19 affects our financial results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the COVID-19 outbreak and the actions to contain the outbreak or treat its impact, among others. Moreover, the COVID-19 outbreak has had and may continue to have indeterminable adverse effects on general commercial activity and the world economy, and our business and results of operations could be adversely affected to the extent that COVID-19 or any other pandemic harms the global economy generally.

 

Our ability to sell our products is dependent on government regulation which can be subject to change at any time.

 

Our ability to sell product is dependent on government regulation such as the FDA (Food and Drug Administration), FTC (Federal Trade Commission) and other relevant government laws and regulations. The laws and regulations concerning the selling of products may change in a way that makes it commercially unfeasible for us to selling our products and you may lose your investment in our company. See “The Company’s Business – Regulation.”

 

Risks Related to the Securities and the Offering

 

Any valuation at this stage is difficult to assess.

 

The valuation for the offering was established by us based on various factors, including the market size for electric toothbrushes as well as the experience of our executive team, our patent rights and consumer enthusiasm based on pre-orders received through indiegogo.com. Unlike listed companies that are valued publicly through market-driven stock prices, the valuation of private companies, especially startups, is difficult to assess and you may risk overpaying for your investment.

 

An active trading market may not develop or be sustained following this offering.

 

There has been no public market for our Class A Common Stock.  While we have signed a quotation agreement to trade our shares of Class A Common Stock on StartEngine Secondary’s new alternative trading system (the “ATS”), an active trading market for our Class A Common Stock may never develop or, if developed, may not be maintained. If an active market for our Class A Common Stock does not develop or is not maintained, it may be difficult for you to sell the shares of Class A Common Stock you purchase in this offering without depressing the market price for the Class A Common Stock or at all. An inactive trading market also may impair our ability to raise capital to continue to fund operations by selling shares. The lack of an active market also may reduce the fair market value of your shares of Class A Common Stock.

 

Furthermore, we may, at any time, remove our Class A Common Stock from quotation on the ATS, in which case, a trading market may cease to exist and you may need to hold your shares indefinitely.  

 

Investors in this offering will be minority holders of our Common Stock with no voting rights.

 

The shares of Class A Common Stock are non-voting and voting control is in the hands of a few large stockholders. Therefore, investors in this offering will have a limited ability to influence our policies or any other corporate matter, including the election of directors, changes to our company’s governance documents, expanding the employee option pool, and any merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of our assets, or other major action requiring stockholder approval. You are trusting that our executive officers, who are majority stockholders of our voting Common Stock, will make the best decisions for the company and its stockholders as a whole. Furthermore, in the event of a liquidation of our company, you will only be paid out if there is any cash remaining after all of the creditors of our company have been paid out.

 

13

 

 

This offering involves ''rolling closings," which may mean that earlier investors may not have the benefit of information that later investors have.

 

We may request that StartEngine Primary instruct the Escrow Agent to disburse offering funds to us at any time. At that point, investors whose subscription agreements have been accepted will become our stockholders. In light of our early stage of development, our business is likely to change significantly during the offering period. We will file supplements to our Offering Circular reflecting material changes and investors whose subscriptions have not yet been accepted will have the benefit of that additional information. These investors may withdraw their subscriptions and get their money back. Investors whose subscriptions have already been accepted, however, will already be our stockholders and will have no such right.

 

Using a credit card to purchase shares may impact the return on your investment as well as subject you to other risks inherent in this form of payment. 

 

Investors in this offering have the option of paying for their investment with a credit card, which is not usual in the traditional investment markets. Transaction fees charged by your credit card company (which can reach 5% of transaction value if considered a cash advance) and interest charged on unpaid card balances (which can reach almost 25% in some states) add to the effective purchase price of the shares you buy and would be in addition to the StartEngine Primary processing fee. See “Plan of Distribution and Selling Securityholders.” The cost of using a credit card may also increase if you do not make the minimum monthly card payments and incur late fees. Using a credit card is a relatively new form of payment for securities and will subject you to other risks inherent in this form of payment, including that, if you fail to make credit card payments (e.g. minimum monthly payments), you risk damaging your credit score and payment by credit card may be more susceptible to abuse than other forms of payment. Moreover, where a third-party payment processor is used, as in this offering, your recovery options in the case of disputes may be limited. The increased costs due to transaction fees and interest may reduce the return on your investment. 

 

The Commission’s Office of Investor Education and Advocacy issued an Investor Alert dated February 14, 2018 entitled: Credit Cards and Investments – A Risky Combination, which explains these and other risks you may want to consider before using a credit card to pay for your investment. 

 

The price of our shares of Class A Common Stock is likely to be volatile, and you could lose all or part of your investment.

 

The trading price of our shares of Class A Common Stock, if any, is likely to be volatile and could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to various factors, some of which are beyond our control, including limited trading volume and the other risks described in this section. These factors also include, without limitation:

 

·increased competition or events affecting our competitors;
·actual or anticipated variations in our operating results;
·failure to meet expectations of the investment community or those we otherwise provide to the public;
·our cash position, and announcements or expectations of additional financing efforts or needs, or issuances of debt or equity securities;
·sales of our shares of Class A Common Stock by us, or our stockholders in the future, or trading volume of our shares on ATS;
·market conditions in our industry or the overall performance of the equity markets and general political and economic conditions; 
·additions or departures of key management, scientific or other personnel;
·publication of research reports about us or our industry or positive or negative recommendations or withdrawal of research coverage by securities or industry analysts;
·changes in the market valuation of similar companies;
·failure to successfully develop, market and sell our products;
·disputes or other developments related to intellectual property and other proprietary rights; and
·significant lawsuits, including stockholder litigation.

 

Furthermore, the public equity markets have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have affected and continue to affect the market prices of equity securities of many companies. These fluctuations often have been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of those companies. These broad market and industry fluctuations, as well as general economic, political and market conditions such as recessions, interest rate changes or international currency fluctuations, may negatively impact the market price of our Class A Common Stock. If the market price of our Class A Common Stock after this offering declines below the offering price in this offering, you may not realize any return on your investment in us and may lose some or all of your investment.

 

Each of our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and the subscription agreement for this offering has a forum selection provision that requires disputes be resolved in state or federal courts in the State of Delaware, regardless of convenience or cost to you, the investor. 

 

Our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware is the sole and exclusive forum for stockholder actions against or brought in the name of the company. See “Description of Capital Stock.” In addition, in order to invest in this offering, investors agree to resolve disputes arising under the subscription agreement, and not arising under federal securities laws, in state or federal courts located in the State of Delaware. These forum selection provisions may limit your ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us. Alternatively, if a court were to find the provision inapplicable to, or unenforceable in an action, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such matters in other jurisdictions, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.

 

We are offering Bonus Shares to some investors in this offering, which effectively gives them a discount on their investment. 

 

Certain investors in this offering who invest more than $[____] or more than $[____], are entitled to receive Bonus Shares based on the amount of their investment, which effectively gives them a discount on their investment. In addition, investors who “reserve” shares of the company’s Class A Common Stock via the online platform provided by StartEngine Crowdfunding, Inc. (“StartEngine”) prior to the qualification of this Offering will be entitled to receive Bonus Shares on the amount of their investment in the company once the offering is qualified, which also effectively gives them a discount on their investment. These Bonus Shares perks are not exclusive, and investors are eligible to receive Bonus Shares in either or both scenarios. See “Plan of Distribution and Selling Securityholders” for further details. Therefore, the value of shares of investors who either (i) invest less than $[____] or $[____] or (ii) do not “reserve” shares prior to investing in the company, and pay the full price for the Class A Common Stock in this offering, will be immediately diluted by investments made by investors entitled to receive the Bonus Shares, who will effectively pay less per share.

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 of Class A Common Stock with the effective cash price paid by existing stockholders. In March 2020, 1,499,711 shares originally issued in 2007 were contributed to the capital of the company without consideration, and cancelled. Subsequently in March 2020, the company affected a 2:1 reverse stock split. In _____________ 2020, the company affected a recapitalization of its capital stock, creating non-voting Class A Common Stock and reclassifying its existing voting Common Stock as Class B Common Stock. In addition, in ________________2020, the Company amended the terms of its SAFEs to provide that they convert into Class A Common Stock, rather than preferred stock. The dilution disclosures contained in this section are based upon the instruments issued and outstanding as of October 31, 2020. The table presents shares and pricing as issued and reflects all transactions since inception. The share numbers and amounts in this table assume exercise of all outstanding options into shares of Class B Common Stock at their exercise price and conversion of all outstanding SAFEs and convertible notes into shares of Class A Common Stock at their respective conversion prices and gives effect to the company’s March 2020 share contribution and reverse stock split (reflecting half the number of shares and twice the per share price) and the _______________ 2020 recapitalization.

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 Regulation A round, a venture capital round, angel investment), employees exercising stock options, or by conversion of certain instruments (e.g. 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):

 

  In June 2020 Jane invests $20,000 for shares that represent 2% of a company valued at $1 million.

 

  In December the company is doing very well and sells $5 million in shares to venture capitalists on a valuation (before the new investment) of $10 million. Jane now owns only 1.3% of the company but her stake is worth $200,000.

 

15

 

 

  In June 2021 the company has run into serious problems and in order to stay afloat it raises $1 million at a valuation of only $2 million (the “down round”). Jane now owns only 0.89% of the company and her stake is worth only $26,660.

 

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 number of shares of Common Stock underlying convertible notes that the company 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.

Marketing is our largest expected expenditure. Our marketing costs consist mainly of internal salaries, market research, building on-line campaigns, branding and content marketing. Also included are advertising costs on several types of media, including television, radio, podcasts and internet services such as Facebook and Google. These costs include engaging vendors such as advertising agencies and consultants.

 

Product development is our second largest expected expenditure. This mostly includes salaries for the internal research and development team. We expect to hire additional engineers and quality assurance engineers. These engineers will assist with improving our existing products as well as developing our planned new products.

 

We reserve the right to change the above use of proceeds if management believes it is in the best interest of the company.

 

The allocation of the net proceeds of the offering set forth above represents the company’s estimates based upon its current plans, assumptions it has made regarding the industry and general economic conditions and its future revenues (if any) and expenditures.

 

Investors are cautioned that expenditures may vary substantially from the estimates above. Investors will be relying on the judgment of the company’s management, who will have broad discretion regarding the application of the proceeds from this offering. The amounts and timing of the company’s actual expenditures will depend upon numerous factors, including market conditions, cash generated by the company’s operations (if any), business developments and the rate of the company’s growth. The company may find it necessary or advisable to use portions of the proceeds from this offering for other purposes.

 

In the event that the company does not raise the entire amount it is seeking, then the company may attempt to raise additional funds through private offerings of its securities or by borrowing funds.

THE COMPANY’S BUSINESS

 

Overview

 

We are a dental innovation company with a team of engineering, dental, manufacturing, regulatory, design and business experts dedicated to improving lives through easy and effective oral care products. To address global oral disease, considering the fact that 9 out of 10 people don' t brush correctly, we are developing our flagship product, the Encompass toothbrush, a revolutionary half-mouth toothbrush. The Encompass toothbrush is being designed to prevent user error while providing a thorough cleaning in just 20 seconds. Leading our engineering efforts is our Chief Technical Officer, Gerald Brewer, the former Director of Engineering for Optiva (the maker of Sonicare), Ultreo, Inc. (the maker of the Ultreo ultrasound toothbrush) and Pacific Bioscience Laboratories (maker of the Clarisonic toothbrush). We have established relationships with engineering suppliers and manufacturers with solid experience in supplying and manufacturing leading oral care products. We have a U.S. patent covering our toothbrush design with a provisional worldwide patent application pending, as well as other patentable intellectual property relating to our current and future products.

 

Our Products and Intellectual Property

 

We are developing a half-mouth J-shaped electric toothbrush with flex fingers to adjust to the teeth and full coverage bristles for proper bristle contact with each tooth. We developed and tested various working proof-of-concept prototypes validating our pump/bladder system, adjustability, size and fit. Our pump and bladder design in the brush head provides for 100 brush stokes per second.

 

We conducted a sales campaign through indiegogo.com and received over 3,000 orders for Encompass toothbrushes totaling $450,998 in pre-sales of our product. We believe that this show of support validates the concept of our product.

 

 

We have a U.S. patent covering our toothbrush design that was granted in 2013 and expires in 2031. We have a provisional worldwide patent application pending.

 

We have been working closely with iConn Systems, a custom engineering firm, to engineer our handle design and ultimately manufacture our Encompass toothbrush. We are in discussions with a number of parties, including iConn Systems, to supply materials for the bristle technology of our brush heads, which we have engineered internally and we have identified suppliers for the other component parts and materials of our products, such as batteries, motors, and plastics.

 

19

 

 

Strategy

 

The next steps to our development of Encompass is to finalize the bristle technology, configuration and material. Thereafter we intend to distribute our Encompass toothbrushes, beginning with our pre-orders through Indiegogo.com. Encompass falls into a generic category of exempted Class I devices as defined in 21 CFR Parts 862-892. A premarket notification application and FDA clearance is therefore not required before marketing the device in the U.S. However, We will be required to register the establishment and list the generic category or classification (21 CFR Part 807).

 

We plan to market and advertise Encompass through our website, social media, product placement (in movies, etc.), brochures to dental professionals, trade shows, infomercials, and commercials. Youth friendly tie-ins/licensing deals will be pursued for the “kids” brush. We will also launch a philanthropic “buy one, give one” campaign when on the market. 

 

Following distribution of Encompass toothbrushes to indiegogo.com purchasers and our other backers, our plan is to launch first in dental offices via “feet on the street” to secure the critical endorsement of dental professionals. Simultaneously, we will “soft launch” by selling direct-to-consumers from our website. From there we expect to expand to other sales avenues, such as infomercials and retail stores.

 

Initially, we intend to sell the Encompass toothbrush in single packs, dual packs, and family packs. Brush heads are recommended to be replaced every 3 months and we intend to sell replacement brush heads under a subscription model, providing for a recurring revenue stream. Thereafter, we expect to develop additional therapeutic features and complimentary products.

 

Market Opportunity

 

The global electric toothbrush market size is expected to reach $3.9 billion by 2024, rising at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.1% during the forecasted period. The oral care market generally is projected to reach $53.3 billion by 2025 from $44.5 billion in 2019, at a CAGR of 3.0%. Current products in oral care market are failing to meet oral care needs as oral disease affects nearly 50% of the global population, with tooth decay affecting nearly 2.4 billion individuals with permanent teeth and more than 480 million children with primary teeth. Consumers deserve a better, faster, smarter way to brush and disabled and elderly communities need a solution that understands their limitations. We believe our Encompass toothbrush, once developed, will be well positioned to address this problem.

 

Competition

 

We will compete with larger, established companies who currently have products on the market and/or various respective product development programs, such as such as Colgate-Palmolive, Koninklijke Philips, Proctor &Gamble, Panasonic and Water Pik. Many of our competitors have much better financial means and marketing/sales and human resources than us. The Oral-B brand by Proctor & Gamble has been the leader in oral care for over 60 years, and the global leader in both manual and powered toothbrushes. Sonicare, made by Koninklijke Philips following its acquisition of Optiva, is the powered toothbrush most endorsed by U.S. dental professionals. Both brands make highly effective toothbrushes only if used correctly by consumers. Studies show only 1 in 10 people brush correctly. It is recommended that people brush for 2 minutes twice a day and floss at least once. Although statistics show that the average American brushes for just 45 to 70 seconds per day.

 

There are emerging "mouthguard" toothbrushes, or U-shaped toothbrushes, attempting to improve user compliance by decreasing the effort and time required. However, according to reviews of these products published on electricteeth.com, these brushes failed to remove plaque as well as standard or electric toothbrushes, when used correctly and, in many case even when they were not used correctly. A team at the University of Florence conducted a study of 22 participants, which was published in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, comparing the then best-selling V-White toothbrush to a manual and electric toothbrush and to not brushing at all. That U-shaped brush was found to be not effective in removing dental plaque and not significantly different from no brushing, even though its was used for a full 2 minutes during this study. We believe these poor results reflect the fact that the design does not provide for a sufficient range of motion of the bristles to reach all areas of each tooth, unlike our pump and bladder design.

Employees

 

We have six full time employees and nine part-time employees.

 

Regulation

 

Encompass falls into a generic category of exempted Class I devices as defined in 21 CFR Parts 862-892. A premarket notification application and FDA clearance is therefore not required before marketing the device in the U.S. However, Ryca is required to register the establishment and list the generic category or classification (21 CFR Part 807). See https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpcd/classification.cfm?id=1296.

 

We are required to comply with all applicable FDA and other regulatory requirements, including, but not limited to: labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting (reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803) for devices; good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices; and ISO 13485, Medical devices — Quality management systems — Requirements for regulatory purposes. While toothbrushes are not technically considered medical devices in the European Union (“EU”) under its Medical Device Directive or Medical Device Regulations, we will be required to comply with the requirements of all EU legislation and obtain certification of compliance for our products in the EU.

 

We will conduct all applicable safety testing and obtain certification as outlined in the applicable regulatory requirements and standards including:

 

UL 1431, Standard for Personal Hygiene and Health Care Appliances

ISO 20127:2020, Dentistry — Physical properties of powered toothbrushes

ISO 60335, Household and similar electrical appliances — safety

ISO 20126, Dentistry — Manual toothbrushes — General Requirements and test methods

Regulation (EC) 1275/2008, Ecodesign

Directive 2014/30/EU, Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Directive

Directive 2006/95/EC, Low Voltage Directive

 

While we will go to market using the standard medical claims outlined for powered toothbrushes, We plan to eventually expand the medical claims/indication to include treating and preventing gingivitis upon the completion of clinical studies as outlined by the American Dental Association. Such clinical studies will include two 30-day clinical trials of at least 30 subjects per group. The studies will need to demonstrate that Encompass can be employed under unsupervised conditions by the average layman to provide a pooled average reduction in gingivitis of no less than 10% (using the Modified Gingival Index) or 15% (using the Löe and Silness Gingival Index) and a statistically significant reduction in plaque when compared to baseline results.

 

We believe this future expanded label may exceed the limitation for 510(k) exemption. This will also be the case if we decide to make claims about our bristles having antibacterial protection. However, Encompass would still be considered a Class I device with such extended indications for use as is evident in the predicate device submissions (K022900, K061199, K040416).

 

THE COMPANY’S PROPERTY

 

Because we are still an early stage company, we do not own or lease any property.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes included in this report. 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. Unless otherwise indicated, the latest results discussed below are as of June 30, 2020.

 

The financial statements included in this filing as of June 30, 2020 and for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 are unaudited, and may not include year-end adjustments necessary to make those financial statements comparable to audited results, although in the opinion of management all adjustments necessary to make interim consolidated statements of operations not misleading have been included.

 

Overview

 

We were incorporated in Delaware in 2007 but were dormant from 2012 until 2019. Since that time, we have been engaged in the development, design and direct-to-customer marketing of our Encompass toothbrush and have relied on securing loans, funding from founders and proceeds from product pre-sales. As such, we have limited significant operating history, and have not recognized revenue to date.

 

As of June 30, 2020, we had negative retained earnings and will likely incur additional losses prior to generating positive working capital. These matters raise substantial concern about our ability to continue as a going concern. During the next twelve months, we intend to fund our operations with capital raised from this offering, our recent offering of convertible notes, and potentially from revenue producing activities depending on the timing of completion and distribution of our product. We may also require additional equity and /or debt funding to support our manufacturing and sales and marketing efforts until we build sufficient sales to support our operations. We cannot assure you that in the future we will be able to raise capital on acceptable terms or at all.  If we are unable to obtain sufficient amounts of additional capital whether from revenue producing activities or otherwise, we may cease operations. Our financial information below does not include any adjustments that might result from these uncertainties.

 

The Company's expenses consists of, among other things, design and development of the Encompass toothbrush, and general operating expenses. The Company incurred research and development costs, recorded as general and administrative expenses, during the process of developing and designing its proof of concept models and its working prototype. Research and development costs consist primarily of outside services. The Company expenses these costs as incurred until the resulting product has been completed, tested and made ready for commercial use.

The Company incurred research and development costs (reflected in general and administrative expenses above) during the process of developing and designing its proof of concept models and its working prototype. Research and development costs consist primarily of outside services.

 

We have also recorded $410,370 of unearned revenue on our June 30, 2020 balance sheet resulting from our pre-sales of Encompass through indiegogo.com. These revenues would be recorded on our income statement once we ship, which we anticipate occurring by the end of June 2021.

Sales and marketing, and general administrative expenses in 2019 reflect the increase in activities preparing to launch our pilot phase pending receipt of funding from this offering.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of June 30, 2020, we had $550,438 in cash and cash equivalents. To date we have funded our operations with proceeds from the issuance of convertible notes, loans from our founders and other individuals and pre-sales of our product through indiegogo.com. We currently utilize approximately $50,000 per month to fund our ongoing operations, which we expect to increase significantly as we move towards manufacturing and distributing our products.

 

From 2007 to 2009, we sold convertible notes totaling $175,000 with maturity dates ranging from 2010 and 2011. And bearing interest at a rate of 7%. In April 2020, we reached an agreement with each of the convertible note holders wherein the note holders agreed to cancel their note and all obligations thereunder in consideration for the issuance of a SAFE equal to the original principal amount of the notes plus interest accrued through the maturity date. The aggregate amount of the SAFEs, $200,356, will convert automatically into shares of Class A Common Stock upon the first closing of this offering at the conversion price of $[___].

 

In 2019, Dr. Cary Schwartz advanced the company $93,544 and several other individuals collectively lent us $25,000, $115,000 of which has been repaid and $3,544 of which was converted to an equity contribution.

 

In April 2020, we commenced an offering of convertible notes pursuant to Regulation Crowdfunding under the Securities Act. The offering closed in July 2020 and we issued a total of $1,070,000 of convertible notes. The notes bear interest at the rate of 5% simple interest per annum, payable at the maturity date of April 30, 2023, unless converted into shares of our Class A Common Stock prior to that date. In the event we sell shares of stock to investors in one or more transactions resulting in gross proceeds of $1,500,000 (a “qualified offering”), the convertible notes will convert into shares of our non-voting Class A Common Stock at a per share conversion price equal to the lesser of: (1) 80% of the price paid by investors in the qualified offering, and (2) the quotient of $8,000,000 (“Valuation Cap”) divided by the aggregate number of our then fully diluted outstanding common shares prior to conversion. In the event that we raise $1,500,000 in this offering, the aggregate principal amount plus accrued interest of these convertible notes will convert into shares of Class A Common Stock at a per share conversion price of $[___]. In the event that we sell our company, holders of the notes are entitled to receive the greater of (1) principal plus accrued interest and (2) the amount they would have received if the notes were converted into shares of non-voting common stock immediately prior to the sale transaction. Unless earlier converted, at maturity these convertible notes would convert into shares of Class A Common Stock at a price per share equal to the Valuation Cap divided by the then fully diluted outstanding common shares prior to conversion.

 

Plan of Operation

 

At 25% of the maximum offering amount, our focus is covering tooling costs and getting Encompass to consumers, beginning with our Indiegogo customers. We will also develop our fulfillment protocols including setting up a direct channel for consumers to buy our products. Finally, we will begin targeted advertising to support our direct channel social media.

 

At 50% of the maximum offering amount, we plan to begin building up our inventory to support growth, increase our targeted advertising and add operational support.

 

At 75% or greater of the maximum offering amount, we expect to further scale our business to meet incoming orders, increase awareness and demand for our product with expanded advertising across multiple media platforms, and start setting money aside to support research & development on ancillary products and build assets, such as user videos and 3D dramatizations.

Trend Information

 

Our business and operations are sensitive to general business and economic conditions in the United States and other countries that we may operates in. In general, positive conditions in the broader economy promote customer spending, while economic weakness, which generally results in a reduction of customer spending, will have a muted effect on spending on oral health care products. A host of factors beyond the Company's control could cause fluctuations in these conditions, including the progression of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on the global economy. Other adverse conditions may include increased competition or changes in consumer taste. These adverse conditions could affect the Company's financial condition and the results of its operations.

 

See the section entitled “Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company” at the beginning of this Offering Circular for a discussion of the modified reporting requirements for “emerging growth” companies that we may take advantage of should be become a public reporting company.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION AND SELLING SECURITYHOLDERS

The company is offering up to [__________] shares of Class A Common Stock  (not including Bonus Shares) on a “best efforts” basis, as described in this Offering Circular. The minimum subscription is $[_______], or [____] shares. The aggregate purchase price including the 3.5% processing fee payable directly to StartEngine Primary per share is $[____], resulting in a minimum investment of $[____].

 

The company has engaged StartEngine Primary, LLC (“StartEngine Primary”) as its placement agent to assist in the placement of its securities in those states it is registered to undertake such activities, including soliciting potential investors on a best efforts basis. As such, StartEngine Primary is an "underwriter" within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act. StartEngine Primary is under no obligation to purchase any securities or arrange for the sale of any specific number or dollar amount of securities. Persons who desire information about the offering may find it at www.startengine.com. This Offering Circular will be furnished to prospective investors via download 24 hours per day, 7 days per week on the startengine.com website.

 

In addition, we have engaged an affiliate of StartEngine Primary, StartEngine Crowdfunding, Inc. to perform administrative and technology-related functions in connection with this offering on its platform.  StartEngine Primary will use its online platform to provide technology tools to allow for the sales of securities in this offering.  In addition, StartEngine CF will assist with the facilitation of credit and debit card payments through the online platform. We will reimburse StartEngine for the following expenses (i) any applicable fees for fund transfers, (ii) all credit card charges charged to StartEngine by its credit card processor (typically 3.5%), (iii) escrow agent fees charged to StartEngine by third party escrow agents, and (iv) fees charged in connection with chargebacks or payment reversals.

This fee will be used for the purpose of coordinating filings with regulators and conducting a compliance review of the company’s offering. Any portion of this amount not expended and accounted for will be returned to the company. Assuming the full amount of the offering is raised, we estimate that the total fees and expenses of the offering payable by the company to StartEngine Primary will be approximately $[________].

 

StartEngine Primary has also agreed to perform the following services in exchange for the compensation discussed above:

 

  · design, build, and create the company’s campaign page,

  · coordinate money transfers to the company.

 

Bonus Shares for Certain Investors

 

Certain investors in this offering are eligible to receive bonus shares of Class A Common Stock, which effectively gives them a discount on their investment. Those investors will receive, as part of their investment, additional shares for their shares purchased (“Bonus Shares”). The amount of Bonus Shares investors in this offering are eligible to receive and the criteria for receiving such Bonus Shares is as follows:

 

  (i) “Reserved” Shares. Prior to the qualification by the SEC of the company’s offering, the company will offer investors the opportunity to “reserve” shares via the StartEngine website. To reserve shares, an investor must create and login to his or her StartEngine account and navigate to the company’s campaign page. On our campaign page, the investor may select the green "Reserve My Shares" button, which will bring the investor to a new page where the investor will indicate the amount of shares (or amount of money) he or she would like to reserve in the company. The reservation is finalized by clicking the green “Reserve My Shares” button. Investors who reserve shares in this manner will receive 10% additional Bonus Shares on their actual investment once this offering is qualified by the SEC (rounded down to the nearest whole share). For example, if an investor reserves 100 shares, and subsequently confirms this reservation and purchases the 100 shares, such investor will receive an additional 10 shares of the company’s Class A Common Stock, for a total of 110 shares. “Reserving” shares is simply an indication of interest. There is no binding commitment for investors that reserve shares in this manner to ultimately invest and purchase the shares reserved of the company, or to purchase any shares of the company whatsoever.
  (ii) Investment Amount. Investors will be eligible to receive Bonus Shares based on the amount of their investment in this offering. Investors that invest at least $[____] in this offering will receive additional Bonus Shares equal to 5% of the number of shares purchased, rounded down to the nearest whole share. Investors that invest at least $[____] will additional Bonus Shares equal to 10% of the number of shares purchased, rounded down to the nearest whole share. For example, if an investor invests $[____], the investor will receive 5% more shares of Class A Common Stock, and will receive an additional [____] Bonus Shares of Class A Common Stock, for a total of [____] shares.

 

Investors receiving the 5% bonus will pay an effective price of approximately $[____] per share before the StartEngine processing fee, while investors receiving the 10% bonus will pay an effective price of approximately $[____] per share before the StartEngine processing fee. The StartEngine processing fee will be assessed on the full share price of $[____], and not the effective, post bonus price.  

 

Investors may be eligible to receive both Bonus Share perks described above. As such, investors in this offering are eligible to receive up to 20% additional Bonus Shares on their investment in this Offering.

Subscription Procedures

 

After the Offering Statement has been qualified by the Commission, the company will accept tenders of funds to purchase the Common Stock. The company may close on investments on a “rolling” basis (so not all investors will receive their shares on the same date). Investors may subscribe by tendering funds via wire, credit or debit card, or ACH only, checks will not be accepted, to the escrow account to be setup by the Escrow Agent. Tendered funds will remain in escrow until a closing has occurred. StartEngine Crowdfunding will assist with the facilitation of credit and debit card payments through the Online Platform. The company estimates that processing fees for credit card subscriptions will be approximately 3.5% of total funds invested per transaction, although credit card processing fees may fluctuate. The company intends to pay these fees and will reimburse StartEngine Crowdfunding for transaction fees and return fees that it incurs for returns and chargebacks. The company estimates that approximately 70% of the gross proceeds raised in this offering will be paid via credit card. This assumption was used in estimating the Start Engine fees included in the total offering expenses set forth in “Use of Proceeds.” Upon closing, funds tendered by investors will be made available to the company.

 

The minimum investment in this offering is [____] shares of Common Stock, or $[____], plus the StartEngine processing fee of 3.5%. 

 

In order to invest you will be required to subscribe to the offering via the Online Platform and agree to the terms of the offering, Subscription Agreement, and any other relevant exhibit attached thereto.

 

Investors will be required to complete a subscription agreement in order to invest. The subscription agreement includes a representation by the investor to the effect that, if the investor is not an “accredited investor” as defined under securities law, the investor is investing an amount, including the StartEngine processing fee, that does not exceed the greater of 10% of his or her annual income or 10% of your net worth (excluding the investor’s principal residence).

 

The company has entered into an Escrow Services Agreement with [______________] (the “Escrow Agent”). Investor funds will be held by the Escrow Agent pending closing or termination of the offering.  All subscribers will be instructed by the company or its agents to transfer funds by wire, credit or debit card, or ACH transfer directly to the escrow account established for this offering. The company may terminate the offering at any time for any reason at its sole discretion. Investors should understand that acceptance of their funds into escrow does not necessarily result in their receiving shares; escrowed funds may be returned.

 

The Escrow Agent is not participating as an underwriter or placement agent or sales agent of this offering and will not solicit any investment in the company, recommend the company’s securities or provide investment advice to any prospective investor, and no communication through any medium, including any website, should be construed as such, or distribute this Offering Circular or other offering materials to investors. The use of the Escrow Agent’s technology should not be interpreted and is not intended as an endorsement or recommendation by it of the company or this offering. All inquiries regarding this offering or escrow should be made directly to the company.

 

In the event that the company terminates the offering while investor funds are held in escrow, those funds will promptly be refunded to each investor without deduction or interest and in accordance with Rule 10b-9 under the Exchange Act.

 

Pursuant to our agreement with StartEngine Primary, the company agrees that 6% of the total funds received into escrow will be held back as a deposit hold in case of any ACH refunds or credit card chargebacks. The hold will remain in effect for 180 days following the close of the offering. 60 days after the close of the offering, 4% of the deposit hold will be released to the company. The remaining 2% will be held for the final 120 days of the deposit hold. After such further 120 days, the remaining 2% will be released to the company. Assuming the maximum offering amount, we estimate the deposit hold could be for up to $290,000.

 

We have signed a quotation agreement with StartEngine Primary to trade our shares of Class A Common Stock on StartEngine Secondary, its SEC-registered alternative trading system. A copy of the quotation agreement is filed as an exhibit to the Offering Statement of which this Offering Circular is a part.

 

StartEngine Secure LLC, an affiliate of StartEngine Primary, will serve as transfer agent to maintain stockholder information on a book-entry basis. We will not issue shares in physical or paper form. Instead, our shares will be recorded and maintained on our stockholder register.

 

38

 

 

Forum Selection Provision

 

The subscription agreement provides that state or federal courts located in the State of Delaware are the exclusive forum for all actions or proceedings relating to the subscription agreement. However, this exclusive forum provision does not apply to actions arising under the federal securities laws.

 

Selling Stockholders

 

No securities are being sold for the account of stockholders; all net proceeds of this offering will go to the company.

 

Investor Perks

 

To encourage participation in the offering, the company is providing specific perks for investors. The company is of the opinion that these perks do not alter the sales price or cost basis of the securities in this offering. Instead, the perks are promotional items intended as a “thank you” to investors that help the company achieve its mission. However, it is recommended that investors consult a tax professional to fully understand any tax implications of receiving any perks before investing. The perks available to investors that invest in our Class A Common Stock are as follows:

 

  • $500 — 50% off first purchase of an Encompass Toothbrush

  • $50,000 — Name recognition on packaging (if possible) and website for philanthropic "buy one give one" campaign, factory tour (flight and stay not included) plus all perks from $20,000 level.

 

These rewards are subject to availability and we reserve the right to change these rewards at any time as needed.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

 

September 24, 2020

 

To:          Board of Directors, Ryca International, Inc.

Attn: Ryan Schwartz

 

Re:          2019-2018 Financial Statement Audit

 

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Ryca International, 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 operations, stockholders’ equity/deficit, and cash flows for the calendar year periods thus ended, and the related notes to the 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.

 

F-2

 

 

Opinion

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its operations, shareholders’ equity and its 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 financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Notes to the financial statements, the Company has stated that substantial doubt exists about the Company's 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,

Since Inception, the Company is a development stage and has relied on securing loans, funding from founders and proceeds from product pre-sales. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had negative retained earnings and will likely incur additional losses prior to generating positive working capital. These matters raise substantial concern about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern (see Note 8). During the next twelve months, the Company intends to fund its operations with funding from a crowdfunding campaign (see Note 9) and the receipt of funds from revenue producing activities, if and when such can be realized. If the Company cannot secure additional capital, it may cease operations. 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 ("US 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 financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and footnotes thereto. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates. It is reasonably possible that changes in estimates will occur in the near term.

 

Significant estimates inherent in the preparation of the accompanying financial statements include valuation of provision for refunds and chargebacks, equity transactions and contingencies.

 

Risks and Uncertainties

 

The Company's business and operations are sensitive to general business and economic conditions in the United States and other countries that the Company operates in. A host of factors beyond the Company's control could cause fluctuations in these conditions. Adverse conditions may include recession, downturn or otherwise, local competition or changes in consumer taste. These adverse conditions could affect the Company's financial condition and the results of its operations.

 

F-8

 

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

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.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers short-term, highly liquid investment 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. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company had $250,325 and $0 of cash on hand, respectively.

 

Fixed Assets

 

Property and equipment is recorded at cost. 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 charged to expense. When equipment is retired or sold, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the 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 forty years.

 

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, the Company did not have any fixed assets and there was no impairment.

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

Generally accepted accounting principles define fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price) and such principles also establish a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value using the following definitions (from highest to lowest priority):

 

·Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.
   
·Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
   
·Level 3 – Prices or valuation techniques requiring inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

 

Income Taxes

 

Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reporting in the financial statements and consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes related primarily to differences between the basis of receivables, inventory, property and equipment, intangible assets, and accrued expenses for financial and income tax reporting. The deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax return consequences of those differences, which will either be taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled.

 

F-9

 

 

Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Any deferred tax items of the Company have been fully valued based on the determination of the Company that the utilization of any deferred tax assets is uncertain.

 

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.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606 when it has satisfied the performance obligations under an arrangement with the customer reflecting the terms and conditions under which products or services will be provided, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collection of any related receivable is probable. ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” establishes principles for reporting information about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from the entity’s contracts to provide goods or services to customers. Revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services are transferred to a customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The Company applies the following five steps in order to determine the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized as it fulfills its obligations under each of its agreements: 1) identify the contract with a customer; 2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; 3) determine the transaction price; 4) allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and 5) recognize revenue as the performance obligation is satisfied.

 

The Company earns revenues through the sale of its products. The Company records the revenue when the products have been delivered to their customers.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

Trade receivables due from customers are uncollateralized customer obligations due under normal trade terms requiring payment within 30 days from the invoice date. 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 invoices. As of December 31, 2019 the Company did not have any accounts receivable.

 

The Company estimates an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon an evaluation of the current status of receivables, historical experience, and other factors as necessary. It is reasonably possible that the Company’s estimate of the allowance for doubtful accounts will change.

 

Advertising

 

The Company expenses advertising costs as they are incurred.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In June 2019, FASB amended ASU No. 2019-07, Compensation – Stock Compensation, to expand the scope of Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. 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. We are currently evaluating the effect that the updated standard will have on the financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In August 2019, amendments to existing accounting guidance were issued through Accounting Standards Update 2019-15 to clarify the accounting for implementation costs for cloud computing arrangements. The amendments specify that existing guidance for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software also applies to implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and early application is permitted. We are currently evaluating the effect that the updated standard will have on the financial statements and related disclosures.

 

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 us or (iv) are not expected to have a significant impact our financial statements.

 

NOTE 3 – UNEARNED REVENUE AND PRE-SALE PROCEEDS

 

The Company has pre-sold its product through its direct-to-customer channel. The Company records the proceeds of its pre-sales as an unearned revenue liability until the product is delivered. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the balance of unearned revenue of the Company totals $375,759 and $0, respectively. The Company’s pre-sales have been made through Indiegogo and are reported net of any platform expenses charged by Indiegogo.

 

The nature of the agreement with customers solicited through the Indiegogo platform is that if the Company is unable to deliver the goods as promised, customers are not necessarily entitled to a refund of their sponsorship amounts. The Company has, nevertheless, booked these amounts as liabilities as it fully expects to be able to deliver the goods in accordance with the Indiegogo campaign.

 

NOTE 4 – INCOME TAX PROVISION

 

The Company filed its corporate income tax return for the periods ended December 31, 2019 and 2018. The income tax returns will remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service under the statute of limitations for a period of three years from the date it is filed. The Company incurred a loss during the period from Inception through December 31, 2019 however has accrued $13,513 of state income tax payable due to timing differences in recognizing pre-sales revenue for tax purposes.

 

NOTE 5 – DEBT

 

In capitalizing and funding the early operations of the Company, the Company extended convertible notes, with various individuals (the “Investor Notes Payable”) which have a collective outstanding balance of $175,000. The notes accrued interest at the rate of 7% per annum, compounded annually. Interest was payable at maturity.

 

F-11

 

 

As part of the inducement to secure and sustain the investment, warrants for the issuance of common stock were awarded to the Investor Note holders at varying strike prices. The Warrants were required to be exercised, in whole or in part, during the term commencing on the earlier of 1) closing date of the Next Equity Financing, 2) on the Maturity Date (as defined in the Note) or if such Maturity Date is extended by the Company then such later date, or 3) the date that the Note is pre-paid in full, with acceptable (and expected) consideration to be a reduction in the outstanding balance of the note of approximately.

 

The Company reached an agreement with each of the convertible note holders to extend the maturity date on each of the notes until April 30, 2023, cancel the corresponding Warrant Agreements, and cap the accrued interest as of the original maturity date.

RYCA INTERNATIONAL, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

As of June 30, 2020 and 2019

 

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS

 

Ryca International, Inc. (which may be referred to as the “Company”, “we,” “us,” or “our”) was incorporated in Delaware on 2007 but was dormant from 2012 until 2019. The Company is engaged in the development, design and direct-to-customer marketing of their half-mouth toothbrush product. The Company has offered presales of their product through 2019 with manufacturing and deliver to consumers planned for early 2021.

 

Since Inception, the Company is a development stage and has relied on securing loans, funding from founders and proceeds from product pre-sales. As of June 30, 2020, the Company had negative retained earnings and will likely incur additional losses prior to generating positive working capital. These matters raise substantial concern about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern (see Note 7). During the next twelve months, the Company intends to fund its operations with funding from multiple crowdfunding campaigns (see Note 8) and the receipt of funds from revenue producing activities, if and when such can be realized. If the Company cannot secure additional capital, it may cease operations. 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 ("US 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. Such adjustments consist of normal recurring adjustments. These unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2019. The results of operations for the six-months ended June 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and footnotes thereto. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates. It is reasonably possible that changes in estimates will occur in the near term.

 

Significant estimates inherent in the preparation of the accompanying financial statements include valuation of provision for refunds and chargebacks, equity transactions and contingencies.

 

Risks and Uncertainties

 

The Company's business and operations are sensitive to general business and economic conditions in the United States and other countries that the Company operates in. A host of factors beyond the Company's control could cause fluctuations in these conditions. Adverse conditions may include recession, downturn or otherwise, local competition or changes in consumer taste. These adverse conditions could affect the Company's financial condition and the results of its operations.

 

F-19

 

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

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.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers short-term, highly liquid investment 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. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had $550,438 and $250,325 of cash on hand, respectively.

 

Fixed Assets

 

Property and equipment is recorded at cost. 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 charged to expense. When equipment is retired or sold, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the 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 forty years.

 

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 June 30, 2020, the Company did not have any fixed assets and there was no impairment.

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

Generally accepted accounting principles define fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price) and such principles also establish a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value using the following definitions (from highest to lowest priority):

 

·Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.
·Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
·Level 3 – Prices or valuation techniques requiring inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

 

Income Taxes

 

Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reporting in the financial statements and consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes related primarily to differences between the basis of receivables, inventory, property and equipment, intangible assets, and accrued expenses for financial and income tax reporting. The deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax return consequences of those differences, which will either be taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Any deferred tax items of the Company have been fully valued based on the determination of the Company that the utilization of any deferred tax assets is uncertain.

 

F-20

 

 

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.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 606 when it has satisfied the performance obligations under an arrangement with the customer reflecting the terms and conditions under which products or services will be provided, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collection of any related receivable is probable. ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” establishes principles for reporting information about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from the entity’s contracts to provide goods or services to customers. Revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services are transferred to a customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The Company applies the following five steps in order to determine the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized as it fulfills its obligations under each of its agreements: 1) identify the contract with a customer; 2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; 3) determine the transaction price; 4) allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and 5) recognize revenue as the performance obligation is satisfied.

 

The Company earns revenues through the sale of its products. The Company records the revenue when the products have been delivered to their customers.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

Trade receivables due from customers are uncollateralized customer obligations due under normal trade terms requiring payment within 30 days from the invoice date. 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 invoices. As of June 30, 2020 the Company did not have any accounts receivable.

 

The Company estimates an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon an evaluation of the current status of receivables, historical experience, and other factors as necessary. It is reasonably possible that the Company’s estimate of the allowance for doubtful accounts will change.

 

Advertising

 

The Company expenses advertising costs as they are incurred.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In June 2019, FASB amended ASU No. 2019-07, Compensation – Stock Compensation, to expand the scope of Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. 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. We are currently evaluating the effect that the updated standard will have on the financial statements and related disclosures.

 

In August 2019, amendments to existing accounting guidance were issued through Accounting Standards Update 2019-15 to clarify the accounting for implementation costs for cloud computing arrangements. The amendments specify that existing guidance for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software also applies to implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and early application is permitted. We are currently evaluating the effect that the updated standard will have on the financial statements and related disclosures.

 

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 us or (iv) are not expected to have a significant impact our financial statements.

 

NOTE 3 – UNEARNED REVENUE AND PRE-SALE PROCEEDS

 

The Company has pre-sold its product through its direct-to-customer channel. The Company records the proceeds of its pre-sales as an unearned revenue liability until the product is delivered. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the balance of unearned revenue of the Company totals $410,370 and $375,759, respectively. The Company’s pre-sales have been made through Indiegogo and are reported net of any platform expenses charged by Indiegogo.

 

The nature of the agreement with customers solicited through the Indiegogo platform is that if the Company is unable to deliver the goods as promised, customers are not necessarily entitled to a refund of their sponsorship amounts. The Company has, nevertheless, booked these amounts as liabilities as it fully expects to be able to deliver the goods in accordance with the Indiegogo campaign.

Bruce Petrie and Barbara Griffin’s loans were repaid in full on April 20, 2020 and April 27, 2020, respectively.

 

In April 2020, the Company reached an agreement with each of the Convertible Note holders listed below to convert their respective convertible notes into SAFE agreements. If there is an equity financing before the termination of the SAFEs, the SAFEs will automatically convert into the number of shares of SAFE preferred stock equal to the SAFE’s purchase amount and providing for a 50% discount price.

 

These SAFEs will automatically terminate (without relieving the Company of any obligations arising from a prior breach of or non-compliance with these SAFEs) immediately following the earliest to occur of: (i) the issuance of capital stock to the investor pursuant to the automatic conversion of the SAFE under Section 1(a); or (ii) the payment, or setting aside for payment, of amounts due the Investor pursuant to Section 1(b) or Section 1(c) of the SAFE agreement.

NOTE 8 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

Completed Crowdfunding Offering

 

On July 23, 2020, the Company completed an offering (the “Crowdfunded Offering”) through StartEngine and its FINRA approved Regulation CF portal, which raised $1,070,000.

 

The minimum investment was $250, and each investor received a convertible note that offers the investor the right to receive Non-Voting Common Stock in Ryca International, Inc. The amount of Non-Voting Common Stock an investor will receive will be determined at the next equity round in which the Company raises at least $1,500,000 in a qualified equity financing. The highest conversion price per security is set based on a $8,000,000 valuation cap or if less, then the investor will receive a 20.0% discount on the price the new investors are paying. These investors also receive 5.0% interest per year added to their investment. When the maturity date is reached, if the note has not converted then the investors are entitled to receive Non-Voting Common Stock equal to their investment and interest back at a price per security determined by dividing the Valuation Cap by the aggregate number of outstanding equity securities of the Company as of immediately prior (on a fully diluted basis).

 

The Company intends to revise the agreements with each of the holders of SAFEs listed in Note 4 wherein their outstanding rights under the Safe Conversion Agreement, upon Conversion, will convert into shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock.

 

The Company has evaluated subsequent events that occurred after June 30, 2020 through November 30, 2020, the issuance date of these financial statements.
