PRELIMINARY OFFERING CIRCULAR DATED OCTOBER 21, 2020

UP TO 16,000,000 SHARES OF COMMON STOCK
Torque Lifestyle Brands, Inc., a Colorado corporation (the “Company,” “Torque,” “we,” “us,” and “our”), is offering up to 16,000,000 shares (“Shares”) of its common stock, par value of $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”) on a “best efforts” basis without any minimum offering amount pursuant to Regulation A promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), for Tier 1 offerings (the “Offering”). We expect that the fixed initial public offering price per share of Common Stock will be from $0.05 to $0.50 per share upon qualification of the Offering Statement of which this Offering Circular is a part by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In computing the maximum number of shares of Common Stock, we assumed an initial public offering price of $0.50 per share of Common Stock, which is the upper end of the price range from $0.05 to $0.50 per share. The Company intends to price this offering after qualification pursuant to Rule 253(b). In computing the aggregate offering price of this offering, which is up to $8,000,000, the Company used the upper end of the range, which is $0.50, as required by Rule 253(b)(2)(ii).[1] We expect to commence the sale of the Shares within two calendar days of the date on which the Offering Statement of which this Offering Circular is a part is declared qualified by the SEC. The Offering is expected to expire on the earlier of (i) the date on which all of the Shares offered are sold; (ii) 365 days from the date this Offering Circular is approved by the Attorney General of the State of New York (unless extended by the Company, in its own discretion, for up to another 90 days); or (iii) the date on which this Offering is earlier terminated by the Company in its sole discretion.
Potential investors may at any time make revocable offers to subscribe to purchase shares of our Common Stock. Such revocable offers will become irrevocable when both the Offering Statement is qualified by the SEC and the subscriptions are accepted by the Company. The Company may close on investments on a “rolling” basis (so not all investors will receive their Shares on the same date). Funds will be promptly refunded without interest, for sales that are not consummated. Upon closing under the terms as set out in this Offering Circular, funds will be immediately available to the Company (where the funds will be available for use in the operations of the Company's business in a manner consistent with the “Use of Proceeds” in this Offering Circular) and the Shares for such closing will be issued to investors. See “Plan of Distribution” of this Offering Circular for more information.
Our Common Stock currently trades on the OTC Pink Open Market under the symbol “TQLB” and the closing price of our Common Stock on October 20, 2020 was $1.10. Our Common Stock currently trades on a sporadic and limited basis.
An investment in the Shares is subject to certain risks and should be made only by persons or entities able to bear the risk of and to withstand the total loss of their investment. Prospective investors should carefully consider and review the “Risk Factors” beginning on page 5.

Company Information
We were incorporated in Colorado on May 10, 1999. We changed our name to Torque Lifestyle Brands, Inc. on July 27, 2020. Our principal executive office is located at 1732 1ST Avenue #25955, New York, New York 10128. Our telephone number is (719) 752-8459 and our website address is www.torquelb.com. We do not incorporate the information on, or accessible through, our website into this Offering Circular, and you should not consider any information on, or accessible through, our website to be a part of this Offering Circular.
Our Business
We are engaged in the business of developing, manufacturing, marketing and selling nutritional supplements. Under the leadership of our founder, treasurer and secretary, Leonard Armenta, and our president and chief executive officer, David Lovatt, we intend to make “Torque” a nationally recognized brand in the nutritional supplements industry.
We plan to launch the following initial sports nutrition products by April 30, 2021: (i) Meta-Torque, a Torque-branded Metabolic Enhancer, (ii) KETO MRP, a Torque-branded Protein, (iii) Torque Burn, a Torque-branded fat burn tablet, and (iv) Torque RPM, a Torque-branded pre-workout & recovery. See the “DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS” section below. We plan to manufacture all of our products from natural ingredients in compliance with U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) laws and regulations. We intend to package our nutritional supplements in different forms, such as tablets, gummies, capsules, and powders. We anticipate that all of our products will be GMO-free, which we intend to emphasize in our marketing campaigns to the extent possible.
Industry Overview
Our aim is to operate within the large and growing nutritional supplements industry. According to Nutrition Business Journal's Supplement Business Report 2020, this industry generated $123.28 billion in sales in 2019 and is projected to grow by 8% per annum through 2027.
We anticipate several key demographic, healthcare and lifestyle trends to drive the continued growth of this industry. These trends include:
| · | increasing awareness of nutritional supplements across major age and lifestyle segments of the U.S. population; and |
| · | increased focus on fitness and healthy living. |
Distribution
We intend that the United States will be our initial target market for sales of our sports nutrition products. We anticipate distributing our products through four primary channels: (i) master distributors in the nutritional supplements market, (ii) master distributors in the fast-moving consumer goods industry, (iii) big box retailers and fitness clubs, and (iv) our own website and internal sales force. With time, we intend to expand our reach globally, including into the United Arab Emirates, Singapore, and South America.

Risks Related to Our Business and Strategy
Our ability to successfully operate our business is subject to numerous risks, including those that are generally associated with operating in the nutritional supplements industry. Any of the factors set forth under “Risk Factors” below may limit our ability to successfully execute our business strategy. You should carefully consider all of the information set forth in this Offering Circular and, in particular, you should evaluate the specific factors set forth under “Risk Factors” below in deciding whether to invest in our Common Stock. Risks relating to our business and our ability to execute our business strategy include:
| · | we may not effectively manage our growth; |
| · | we operate in a highly competitive industry and our failure to compete effectively could adversely affect our market share, revenues and growth prospects; |
| · | unfavorable publicity or consumer perception of our products could adversely affect our reputation and the demand for our products; |
| · | if the products we sell do not comply with applicable regulatory and legislative requirements, we may be required to recall or remove these products from the market; |
| · | if we do not introduce new products or make enhancements to meet the changing needs of our customers in a timely manner, some of our products could become obsolete; and |
| · | changes in our management team could adversely affect our business strategy and adversely impact our performance. |

Market & Industry Information
Throughout this Offering Circular, we use market data and industry forecasts and projections that were obtained from surveys and studies conducted by third parties, including the National Standards Institute, Statista, and Pew Research, and from publicly available industry and general publications. Although we believe that the sources are reliable, and that the information contained in such surveys and studies conducted by third parties is accurate and reliable, we have not independently verified the information contained therein. We note that estimates, in particular as they relate to general expectations concerning our industry, involve risks and uncertainties and are subject to change based on various factors, including those discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” in this Offering Circular.
| 4 |
The SEC requires us to identify risks that are specific to its business and its financial condition. We are 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.
Risk Factors Related to the Company
We are a development stage company and have not yet generated any profits.
We were incorporated on May 10, 1999 in the State of Colorado. Following a period of corporate delinquency, we were reinstated on April 14, 2020. On or about July 27, 2020, we changed our name to Torque Lifestyle Brands, Inc. and entered into a new line of business, specifically, the business of developing, manufacturing, marketing and selling nutritional supplements. Accordingly, we have a limited history with respect to our nutritional supplements business upon which an evaluation of our performance and future prospects can be made. Our current and proposed operations are subject to all the business risks associated with new enterprises. These include likely fluctuations in operating results as we react to developments in our market, managing our growth and the entry of competitors into the market. Specific to our industry, we may not have the resources to pivot our product offerings if consumer habits and health trends change. We will only be able to pay dividends on any shares once our directors determine that we are financially able to do so. We have incurred a net loss and has had insufficient revenues generated since inception to cover operational expenses. There is no assurance that we will be profitable in the next three years or generate sufficient revenues to pay dividends to the holders of the shares.
Our financials were prepared on a “going concern” basis.
Our financial statements were prepared on a “going concern” basis. Certain matters, as described below and in Note 2 to the accompanying financial statements indicate there may be substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We have not generated profits since inception, and we have had a history of losses. Additionally, since we made Torque Lifestyle Brands our main line of business in July 2020, we have not generated any profits. We have sustained net losses of $0.00 and $58,847.00 for the years ended June 30, 2019 and 2020, respectively, and have an accumulated deficit of $71,225.00 as of June 30, 2020. Our ability to continue operations is dependent upon our ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations to meet our obligations, which we have not been able to accomplish to date, and/or to obtain additional capital financing.
Any valuation of us at this stage is difficult to assess.
We established the valuation for the Offering. Unlike actively-traded companies that are valued publicly through market-driven stock prices, the valuation of limited trading companies, especially startups, is difficult to assess and you may risk overpaying for your investment. This is especially true with companies engaging in new product offerings.
Our product offerings are new in an industry that is still quickly evolving.
Our Nutritional Supplements offering is a new offering developed in 2020. Despite the experience of our management team, particularly Mr. Arnetta, the products being offered are new and have no track record from which to project future performance. Additionally, in light of indefinite changes to distribution outlets in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, changes in how goods are obtained, and restrictions on some gyms and recreation centers, there is no guarantee we can build our brand and name recognition as quickly as otherwise hoped.
| 5 |
We have an evolving business model.
Our business model is one of innovation, including continuously working to expand our product lines and offerings to our clients; see the “The Company’s Business – Principal Products and Services – Services under Development”. It is unclear whether these products will be successful. Further, we continuously try to offer additional types of products, and we cannot offer any assurance that any of them will be successful. From time to time we may also modify aspects of our business model relating to our product offerings. We cannot offer any assurance that these or any other modifications will be successful or will not result in harm to the business. We may not be able to manage growth effectively, which could damage our reputation, limit our growth, and negatively affect our operating results.
Any growth may place significant strains on our resources.
We are currently in the development stage, with only limited operations, and has not generated any revenue since beginning work on the new lines of business. Our growth, if any, is expected to place a significant strain on our managerial, operational and financial resources. Moving forward, our systems, procedures or controls may not be adequate to support our operations and/or we may be unable to achieve the rapid execution necessary to successfully implement our business plan. Our future operating results, if any, will also depend on our ability to add additional personnel commensurate with the growth of our operations, if any. If we are unable to manage growth effectively, our business, results of operations and financial condition will be adversely affected.
We are reliant on one main product category.
All of our current offerings are variants on one type of product — developing and producing nutritional supplements. Our revenues are therefore dependent upon the market for nutritional supplement consumption.
We depend on key personnel and face challenges recruiting needed personnel.
Our future success depends on the efforts of a small number of key personnel, including our founder Leonard Armenta. In addition, due to our limited financial resources and the specialized expertise required, we may not be able to recruit the individuals needed for our business needs. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in attracting and retaining the personnel we require to operate and be innovative.
We are dependent on general economic conditions.
Our business model is dependent on individuals, especially those in our target age range of 18-45 years of age, continuing to invest in their overall nutritional health and training. Dollars spent on nutritional and training supplements are disposable income. Our business model is thus dependent on national and international economic conditions. Adverse national and international economic conditions may reduce the future availability of disposable dollars, which would negatively impact our revenues and possibly our ability to continue operations. We cannot accurately predict the potential adverse impacts on us, if any, of current economic conditions on our financial condition, operating results and cash flow.
We face significant market competition.
Our market is a highly competitive market. There are numerous competing products in the marketspace and annual new entrants. Further, as traditional healthcare expenditures rise and people seek alternative supplements for their health, the marketplace may become more crowded and future competitors may be better capitalized than us, which would give them a significant advantage in marketing and operations.
We may not be able to protect all of our intellectual property.
Our profitability may depend in part on our ability to effectively establish a new brand, protect our proprietary rights, including obtaining trademarks for our brand names, protecting our products and websites, maintaining the secrecy of our internal workings and preserving our trade secrets, as well as our ability to operate without inadvertently infringing on the proprietary rights of others. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain future protections for our intellectual property or defend any future trademarks and patents. Further, policing and protecting our intellectual property against unauthorized use by third parties is time-consuming and expensive, and certain countries may not even recognize our intellectual property rights. There can also be no assurance that a third party will not assert infringement claims with respect to our products. Any litigation for both protecting our intellectual property or defending our use of certain products could have material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition, regardless of the outcome of such litigation.
| 6 |
Our revenues and profits are subject to fluctuations.
It is difficult to accurately forecast our revenues and operating results, and these could fluctuate in the future due to a number of factors. These factors may include adverse changes in: number of investors and amount of investors’ dollars, the success of securities markets, general economic conditions, our ability to market our platform to companies and investors, headcount and other operating costs, and general industry and regulatory conditions and requirements. Our operating results may fluctuate from year to year due to the factors listed above and others not listed. At times, these fluctuations may be significant and could impact our ability to operate our business.
If we cannot raise sufficient funds, we will not succeed.
To date, we have experienced a continuing need for capital to execute our business model. We are offering securities in the amount of up to $8 million in this offering, and may close on any investments that are made. The amount we can raise in any 12-month period is limited to $20 million. Even if the maximum amount is raised (in this 12-month period or in subsequent periods), we are likely to need additional funds in the future in order to grow, and if we cannot raise those funds for whatever reason, including reasons relating to us or to the broader economy, we may not survive. If we manage to raise only a portion of funds sought, we will have to find other sources of funding for some of the plans outlined in “Use of Proceeds.” We do not have any alternative sources of funds committed.
There is no minimum amount set as a condition to closing this offering.
Because this is a “best efforts” offering with no minimum, we will have access to any funds tendered. This might mean that any investment made could be the only investment in this offering, leaving us without adequate capital to pursue our business plan or even to cover the expenses of this offering.
Natural disasters and other events beyond our control could materially adversely affect us.
Natural disasters or other catastrophic events may cause damage or disruption to our operations, commerce and the global economy, and thus could have a strong negative effect on us. Our business operations are subject to interruption by natural disasters, fire, power shortages, pandemics and other events beyond our control. Although we maintain crisis management and disaster response plans, such events could make it difficult or impossible for us to deliver our services to our customers and could decrease demand for our services. In the spring of 2020, large segments of the U.S. and global economies were impacted by COVID-19, a significant portion of the U.S. population are subject to “stay at home” or similar requirements. The extent of the impact of COVID-19 and any subsequent “breakouts” of COVID-19, on our operational and financial performance will depend on certain developments, including the duration and spread of the outbreak, impact on our customers, sales cycles, impact on our customer, employee or industry events, and effect on our vendors, all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted. Particularly if gyms and fitness centers are closed or limited in use, we may lose a significant distribution channel for our products. At this point, the extent to which COVID-19 may impact our financial condition or results of operations is uncertain. To date, the COVID-19 outbreak, has significantly impacted global markets, U.S. employment numbers, as well as the disposable income individuals have to spend on nutritional supplements. To the extent COVID-19 continues to wreak havoc on the economy and the availability of fitness centers and gyms, it may have a significant impact on our results and operations.
Risk Factors Related to the Common Stock and the Offering
There is uncertainty as to the amount of time it will take for us to deliver securities to investors under this offering.
The process for issuance of Common Stock is set out in “Plan of Distribution.” There may be a delay between the time you execute your subscription agreement and tender funds and the time securities are delivered to you. Although investors who provide the information required by the subscription agreement and give accurate instructions for the payment of the subscription price typically should receive their securities in no more than six months, we cannot guarantee that you will receive your securities by a specific date or within a specific timeframe.

Voting control is in the hands of a few large stockholders.
Voting Control may be concentrated in the hands of a small number of shareholders. There are currently no 10% shareholders of our Common Stock, however, each holder of Preferred Stock is entitled to one thousand (1,000) votes for each share of Preferred Stock. Holders of Preferred Stock are entitled to vote on all matters submitted to a vote of the shareholders, including the election of directors, as a single class with the holders of Common Stock. As a result, you may not be able 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. Some of the larger stockholders include, or have the right to designate, executive officers and directors of our Board. These few people and entities make all major decisions regarding our business and affairs. As a minority shareholder, you will have little say in these decisions.
The exclusive forum provision in the subscription agreements may have the effect of limiting an investor’s ability to bring legal action against us and could limit an investor’s ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes.
Section 6 in each of the subscription agreements for this offering includes a forum selection provision that requires any claims against us based on the subscription agreement be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction in the State of New York; see “Securities Being Offered – Common Stock – Forum Selection Provision.” The forum selection provision will not be applicable to lawsuits arising from the federal securities laws. The provision may have the effect of limiting the ability of investors to bring a legal claim against us due to geographic limitations. There is also the possibility that the exclusive forum provision may discourage stockholder lawsuits with respect to matters arising under laws other than the federal securities laws, or limit stockholders’ ability to bring such claims in a judicial forum that they find favorable for disputes with us and our officers and directors. Alternatively, if a court were to find this exclusive forum provision inapplicable to, or unenforceable in respect of, one or more of the specified types of actions or proceedings, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such matters in other jurisdictions, which could adversely affect our business and financial condition.
Investors in this offering may not be entitled to a jury trial with respect to claims arising under the subscription agreements, which could result in less favorable outcomes to the plaintiff(s) in any action under the agreements.
Investors in this offering will be bound by the subscription agreements, each of which includes a provision under which investors waive the right to a jury trial of any claim they may have against us arising out of or relating to the subscription agreement, including any claims made under the federal securities laws.
If we opposed a jury trial demand based on the waiver, a court would determine whether the waiver was enforceable based on the facts and circumstances of that case in accordance with the applicable state and federal law. We believe that a contractual pre-dispute jury trial waiver provision is generally enforceable, including under the laws of the State of New York, which governs the subscription agreement, in a court of competent jurisdiction in the State of New York. In determining whether to enforce a contractual pre-dispute jury trial waiver provision, courts will generally consider whether the visibility of the jury trial waiver provision within the agreement is sufficiently prominent such that a party knowingly, intelligently and voluntarily waived the right to a jury trial. We believe that this is the case with respect to the subscription agreement. You should consult legal counsel regarding the jury waiver provision before entering into the subscription agreement.
If you bring a claim against us in connection with matters arising under the subscription agreement, including claims under federal securities laws, you may not be entitled to a jury trial with respect to those claims, which may have the effect of limiting and discouraging lawsuits against us. If a lawsuit is brought against us under the subscription agreement, it may be heard only by a judge or justice of the applicable trial court, which would be conducted according to different civil procedures and may result in different outcomes than a trial by jury would have had, including results that could be less favorable to the plaintiff(s) in such an action.
Nevertheless, if the jury trial waiver provision is not permitted by applicable law, an action could proceed under the terms of the subscription agreement with a jury trial. No condition, stipulation, or provision of the subscription agreement serves as a waiver by any holder of common shares or by us of compliance with any provision of the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations promulgated under those laws.
In addition, when shares of our Common Stock are transferred, the transferee is required to agree to all the same conditions, obligations and restrictions applicable to those securities or to the transferor with regard to ownership of those securities, that were in effect immediately prior to the transfer of the Common Stock, including but not limited to the subscription agreement. Therefore, purchasers in secondary transactions will be subject to this provision.
| 8 |
Future fundraising may affect the rights of investors.
In order to expand, we are likely to raise funds again in the future, either by offerings of securities (including post-qualification amendments to this offering) or through borrowing from banks or other sources. The terms of future capital raising, such as loan agreements, may include covenants that give creditors greater rights over our financial resources.
Holders of our Preferred Stock are entitled to potentially significant liquidation preferences over holders of our Common Stock if we are liquidated, including upon a sale of our company.
Holders of our outstanding Preferred Stock have liquidation preferences over holders of Common Stock being offered in this offering. This liquidation preference is paid if the amount a holder of Preferred Stock would receive under the liquidation preference is greater than the amount such holder would have received if such holder’s shares of Preferred Stock had been converted to Common Stock immediately prior to the liquidation event. If a liquidation event, including a sale of our company, were to occur that resulted in a distribution of less than $0.001 per share of Series A Preferred Stock, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock could be entitled to all proceeds of cash distributions.
Our Common Stock is thinly traded.
Our Common Stock trades on the OTC Markets. It has low daily trading volume and is thinly traded. While this may change as demand for our products and Common Stock changes, there is no guarantee that adequate demand exists. Even if we seek an up-listing on the OTC Markets or another alternative trading system or “ATS,” there may not be frequent trading and therefore a lack of liquidity for the Common Stock. Our company is not an SEC-Reporting company. Stock of non-SEC reporting companies may suffer from, among other things, a lack of a trading market, lack of consistent volume, volatile pricing, increased transaction costs, and a lack of liquidity. In addition, non-reporting companies often do not get covered by analysts or other market professionals which may decrease investment demand in secondary markets for your shares purchased through this Offering.
You will need to keep records of your investment for tax purposes.
As with all investments in securities, if you sell the Common Stock, you will probably need to pay tax on the long- or short-term capital gains that you realize if sold at a profit or set any loss against other income. If you do not have a regular brokerage account, or your regular broker will not hold the Common Stock for you (and many brokers refuse to hold Regulation A securities for their customers) there will be nobody keeping records for you for tax purposes and you will have to keep your own records, and calculate the gain on any sales of any securities you sell.
The price for our Common Stock may be volatile.
The market price of our Common Stock is likely to be highly volatile and could fluctuate widely in price in response to various factors, many of which are beyond our control, including the following:
| · | The size and volume of our trading market. | |
| · | Having adequate capital to fulfill any reporting obligations. | |
| · | Inability to successfully compete against current or future competitors | |
| · | Adverse regulations from regulators. | |
| · | Departures of key personnel. |
In addition, the securities markets have from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of our securities. As a result, you may be unable to resell your securities at a desired price.

Risks Factors Related to our Industry and Business
Compliance with new and existing laws and governmental regulations could increase our costs significantly and adversely affect our results of operations.
Dietary supplements, like our products, are subject to significant regulation. The processing, formulation, safety, manufacturing, packaging, labeling, advertising, and distribution of our products are subject to regulation by one or more federal agencies, including the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the "FDA"), the Federal Trade Commission (the "FTC"), the Consumer Product Safety Commission (the "CPSC"), the United States Department of Agriculture (the "USDA") and the Environmental Protection Agency (the "EPA"), and by various agencies of the states and localities in which our products are sold.
Regulatory uncertainty concerning dietary supplements.
The Food Safety Modernization Act (the “FSMA”) expands the reach and regulatory powers of the FDA with respect to the production and importation of food, including dietary supplements. The expanded reach and regulatory powers include the FDA's ability to order mandatory recalls, administratively detain domestic products, and require certification of compliance with domestic requirements for imported foods associated with safety issues. FMSA also gave FDA the authority to administratively revoke manufacturing facility registrations, effectively enjoining manufacturing of dietary ingredients and dietary supplements without judicial process. The regulation of dietary supplements may increase or become more restrictive in the future.
Regulation could render any of our products unmarketable
The FDA or other agencies could take actions against products or product ingredients that, in their determination, present an unreasonable health risk to consumers that would make it illegal for us to sell such products. Such actions or warnings could be based on information received through FDC Act-mandated reporting of serious adverse events. The failure of such products to comply with applicable regulatory and legislative requirements could prevent us from marketing the products or require us to recall or remove such products from the market, which in certain cases could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. A removal or recall could also result in negative publicity and damage to our reputation that could reduce future demand for our products.
Regulation may limit how we are able to market our products
If the FDA determines that a particular structure/function claim is an unacceptable claim that causes the product to be regulated as a drug, a conventional food claim or an unauthorized version of a "health claim," or, if the FDA determines that a particular claim is not adequately supported by existing scientific data or is false or misleading in any particular way, we would be prevented from using the claim and would have to update our product labels and labeling accordingly.
Our marketing and branding may be changed due to regulation
The FTC exercises jurisdiction over the advertising of dietary supplements and requires that all advertising to consumers be truthful and non-misleading. The FTC actively monitors the dietary supplement space and has instituted numerous enforcement actions against dietary supplement companies for failure to have adequate substantiation for claims made in advertising or for the use of false or misleading advertising claims. As a result of our efforts to comply with applicable statutes and regulations, we may from time to time reformulate, eliminate, or relabel certain of our products and revise certain provisions of our sales and marketing program.
New Legislation or Regulation
Legislation may be introduced which, if passed, would impose substantial new regulatory requirements on dietary supplements. We cannot determine what effect additional domestic governmental legislation, regulations, or administrative orders, when and if promulgated, would have on our business in the future. New legislation or regulations may require the reformulation of certain products to meet new standards, require the recall or discontinuance of certain products not capable of reformulation, impose additional record keeping or require expanded documentation of the properties of certain products, expanded or different labeling or scientific substantiation.

Dilution means a reduction in value, control or earnings of the shares the investor owns.
Immediate dilution
A development stage company typically sells its shares (or grants options exercisable for 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.
Purchasers of our common stock in this Offering will experience an immediate dilution of net tangible book value per share from the public offering price. Dilution in net tangible book value per share represents the difference between the amount per share paid by the purchasers of shares of Common Stock and the net tangible book value per share immediately after this Offering. Our net tangible book value as of June 30, 2020 was $0.00 or $0.00 per share based on 149,449,998 outstanding shares of Common Stock as of the date of this Offering Circular. Net tangible book value per share equals the amount of our total tangible assets less total liabilities, divided by the total number of shares of our Common Stock outstanding, all as of the date specified.
If the Maximum Offering, at an offering price of $0.50 per share, is sold in this Offering, after deducting approximately $50,000 in offering expenses payable by us, our pro forma adjusted net tangible book value at June 30, 2020 would be approximately $7,950,000 ($0.048 per share). This amount represents an immediate increase in pro forma net tangible book value of $0.048 per share to our existing stockholders at the date of this Offering Circular, and an immediate dilution in pro forma net tangible book value of approximately $0.45 per share to new investors purchasing shares of Common Stock in this Offering at a price of $0.50 per share.
The following tables illustrate the per share dilution to new investors discussed above, assuming the sale of, respectively, 100%, 75%, 50% and 25% of the shares offered for sale in this Offering (before our estimated offering expenses of $50,000) and based on offering prices of $0.05 per share and $0.50 per share, constituting the lower end and upper end of the price range for this Offering:

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 that company. This increase in number of shares outstanding could result from a stock offering (such as an initial public offering, a subsequent Regulation A offering, a venture capital round, or 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).
This type of dilution might also happen upon conversion of convertible notes into shares. Typically, the terms of convertible notes issued by development stage companies provide that note holders may be able to convert the balance of their convertible notes into shares at a discounted price, or a premium is added to the note allowing for a higher principal balance to be converted into shares than was initially invested. Either way, the holders of the convertible notes get more shares for their money than new investors. In the event that the price drops below the offering price in this offering, the holders of the convertible notes will dilute existing equity holders, even more than the new investors do, because they get more shares for their money. Investors should pay careful attention to the total amount of the convertible notes that the company has issued (and may issue in the future), and the terms of those notes.
If you are making an investment expecting to own a certain percentage of us 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 us. Dilution can make drastic changes to the value of each share, ownership percentage, voting control, and earnings per share.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION AND SELLING SHAREHOLDERS
Plan of Distribution
We are seeking to raise up to $8,000,000 in total. We will raise the money through the sale of up to 16,000,000 shares of Common Stock. The maximum offering amount is $8,000,000 which represents the value of securities available to be offered as of the date of this Offering Circular. Under Regulation A, we may only offer $20,000,000 in securities during a rolling 12-month period. From time to time, we may seek to qualify additional shares.
We are offering a maximum of 16,000,000 shares of Common Stock on a “best efforts” basis.
We are not selling the shares through commissioned sales agents or underwriters. We will use our existing website, www.Torquelb.com, in addition to our SEC filings in connection with this Offering, to provide information with respect to the offering.
We are initially offering our securities in New York, but will potentially offer the securities in any other of the United States and Puerto Rico.
Our Offering Circular will be furnished to prospective investors in this offering via download 24 hours a day, 7 days a week on our Torquelb.com website.
Process of Subscribing
You will be required to complete a subscription agreement in order to invest. Investors in Common Stock can complete the subscription agreement on our website or by contacting us at invest@torquelb.com to receive a subscription agreement.
The subscription agreement must be delivered to us and funds for the subscribed amount must be delivered in accordance with the instructions stated in the subscription agreement. Investors will specify whether they will purchase shares via credit card, wire transfer, or ACH transfer. Our registered transfer agent, EQ Shareowner Services, will maintain stockholder information on a book-entry basis.
Investors’ Tender of Funds
We will accept tenders of funds to purchase the shares. We may close on investments on a “rolling” basis (so not all investors will receive their shares on the same date). In the event that the Offering Circular is fully subscribed, any additional subscriptions shall be rejected and returned to the subscribing party along with any funds received.
There are no conditions that we must meet in order to hold a closing. A closing will occur each time we determine to accept funds, which may occur as frequently as each subscription agreement and tender of funds is returned by an investor. Subscriptions are irrevocable, and during the period between an investor’s subscription and a closing, the investor will not have the rights of a shareholder. If the closing does not happen, for whatever reason, including, our dissolution or liquidation, the funds will be returned to the investor.
Tendered funds will only be returned to investors in the event we decide to terminate the offering, in which case we will promptly return to the potential investor any money tendered by such potential investor. Upon each closing, funds tendered by investors will be made available to us for our immediate use. We will provide notice to each investor upon the receipt of funds and upon closing.
Issuance of Shares
The information regarding the ownership of the Common Stock will be recorded with the stock transfer agent.
| 13 |
We estimate that if it sells the maximum amount of $8,000,000 from the sale of Common Stock, which represents the value of shares available to be offered as of the date of this offering circular out of the rolling 12-month maximum offering amount of $20,000,000 (we have not engaged in any other offerings in the previous rolling twelve months), the net proceeds to the issuer in this offering will be approximately $7,950,000.00, after deducting the estimated offering expenses of approximately $50,000.00 (including payment to marketing, legal and accounting professional fees and other expenses).
The table below shows the net proceeds we would receive from this offering assuming an offering size of $2 million, $4 million and $8 million, and the intended use of those proceeds. There is no guarantee that we will be successful in selling any of the shares we are offering.

We anticipate product development to be our largest expected expenditure. Product development will focus primarily on developing and improving our existing product suite to adapt to regulatory changes and changes in consumer habits. Our product development costs will consist mainly of research and development costs, obtaining inventory, and equipment costs. As our product offerings grow, we expect to hire additional product development and quality assurance specialists. These employees will assist with improving our existing product offerings as well as developing our planned new offerings.
Marketing is our second largest expected expenditure. We anticipate that our marketing will focus primarily via the internet including our own website, search engine optimization and sponsored ads on search engines such as Google, Facebook, Instagram and other search and social media platforms. We expect our marketing costs to consist mainly of 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. In connection with this marketing plan, we anticipate hiring more sales and marketing employees and possibly engaging outside consultants to implement the marketing plan.
We reserve the right to change the above use of proceeds if management believes it is in our best interest.
The allocation of the net proceeds of the offering set forth above represents our estimates based upon our current plans, assumptions we have made regarding the industry and general economic conditions and our 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 our management, who will have broad discretion regarding the application of the proceeds from this offering. The amounts and timing of our actual expenditures will depend upon numerous factors, including market conditions, cash generated by our operations (if any), business developments and the rate of our growth. We may find it necessary or advisable to use portions of the proceeds from this offering for other purposes.
In the event that we do not raise the entire amount we are seeking, then we may attempt to raise additional funds through private offerings of our securities or by borrowing funds. We do not have any committed sources of financing.

With the development of our TORQUE Lifestyle Brands we aim to successfully operate by understanding and predicting consumer requirements and adapting to a changing market. We are working to develop and maintain a broad global presence, size and scope, and the capacity to invest in the long run, which we believe will be advantageous to the long-term viability of the business.
We are developing the TORQUE Lifestyle Brands line of business with the aim to provide consistent value to customers, partners, and investors in the short and long term, with a forward-looking approach, hence, the initiative to develop TORQUE-branded nutritional supplements.
Principal Products and Services
Our products are still in the developmental stage, but our aim is to produce vitamins and supplements in a way that it will be easy for consumers to ingest. We intend to design our products such that they contain ingredients that are formulated to be used to supplement diets. We are designing TORQUE Nutritional Supplements with the intent to provide a wide variety of brand-leading sport food supplements with the goal of setting the benchmark in the areas of quality, product distribution, customer support, and satisfaction. On August 5, 2020, we engaged legal counsel to assist us with the preparation of trademark applications for the products described below.
Our products include:
| · | Meta-Torque | |
| · | KETO MRP | |
| · | Torque Burn | |
| · | Torque RPM |
Meta-Torque (Torque Metabolic Enhancer)
We intend our Torque Metabolic Enhancer to be a stimulant-free weight loss supplement. The plan is to develop the supplement as an aid to weight loss using a formula that would attempt to assist with carbohydrate intake control, enhanced blood sugar regulation, and by boosting thyroid function. The contemplated design uses a proprietary blend of gugglesterones to boost thyroid function and Vitamin B complex to achieve these objectives.
KETO MRP (Torque Protein)
We intend our Torque Keto-MRP to be a meal replacement supplement. We anticipate targeting individuals following a ketogenic diet by designing Torque Keto-MRP as a meal replacement supplement that is high in fats, moderate in proteins, and low in carbohydrates. We want to design Torque Keto-MRP to be easy to prepare, great tasting, and derive its caloric content mostly from fat and protein consistent with most ketogenic diet plans.
Torque Burn (Torque Fat Burn Tablets)
We intend our TQ Fat Burner to help shed unwanted fat by designing it to dramatically increase core temperature to facilitate rapid caloric burn. The conceived design would use the ECA stack effect, fat burn substitutes, several Beta Adrengenic Agonists for ephedra, use several forms of caffeine, and add white willow bark to thin the blood. When combined with cardio, the tablets would be designed to help increase sweat and heart rate to facilitate the fat burning process.
Torque RPM (Torque Pre-Workout and Recovery)
We intend our Pre-Workout and Recovery supplement to be designed in collaboration with athletes and trainers with the goal of developing a product that would offer sustained energy for training, without detrimental side effects like the jitters that are associated with other workout supplements. The product will be intended to target increasing mental focus during training, endurance, and the capacity to increase the capacity to exercise and consequently the ability to build lean muscle.

Market
Global Dietary Supplements Market
In 2016, the dietary supplements market, in which our products are classified, was valued at $133.1 billion and forecasted to experience substantial growth in the coming years. The American National Standards Institute project the market to reach $220 billion by 2021 and $242 billion by 2025. (“Dietary Supplements Market: Executive Summary,” April 11, 2018).
This growth is mainly due to the increase in lifestyle diseases and changing mindset toward preventive healthcare worldwide. Globally, the market is also growing rapidly as a result of the rising prevalence of chronic diseases such as arthritis, cardiovascular problems, diabetes etc. and the favorable outlook towards medical nutrition. Other factors fueling the growth of the market include increasing preference for sports activity as an academic curriculum in education systems and the positive outlook towards sports nutrition. The report observed that individuals taking on hectic jobs and leading busy lifestyles will always need dietary supplements to balance the burden of busy lifestyles.
Rising awareness regarding personalized nutritional products should help to fuel the demand for the dietary supplement market. In addition, technological advancements and an increasing investment in research and development of functional foods and supplement products could likely help grow the dietary supplement market.
Functional Food and Nutraceuticals Market in the United States
By definition, functional food has similar appearance with conventional food since it is consumed as part of a usual diet. It is demonstrated to have physiological benefits and/or help to reduce the risk of chronic disease beyond basic nutritional functions. They can be regarded as ingredients that offer health benefits that extend beyond their nutritional value. Some types contain supplements or other additional ingredients designed to improve health.
On the other hand, a nutraceutical is a product that is purified from foods that is generally sold in medicinal forms not usually associated with foods. A nutraceutical is believed to have a physiological benefit or provide protection against chronic disease.
Based upon a report in 2019, the graph below estimates that the United States nutraceutical market was worth approximately $71.73 billion in 2017, and is anticipated to rise to $133.4 billion by 2025 which is more than double of the value in 2014. (Graph available at https://www.statista.com/statistics/910097/us-market-size-nutraceuticals/)

The millennials focus on health, fitness, nutrition, and convenience have been the attributed to growth of the market. Additionally, increasing number of health and fitness clubs, the need to battle various diet-related health issues among the young and the old, as well as the motivation among younger generations to stay fit will continue to support the growth of the market.
There is an ongoing shift from treating diseases and illnesses to the adoption of several other measures that can help to prevent or alleviate diseases from the onset. Consequently, this has led to the substantial rise in the nutraceutical market.
Dietary supplements play an important role in the overall health and wellness of Americans. Without doubt, they have become mainstream. Already, 77 percent of U.S. adults take dietary supplements and below are some facts about the dietary supplement consumption in the US:2
United States Dietary Supplements Market
The dietary supplements market is a sub-category of the Functional Food and Nutraceuticals. Our products are part of this dietary supplements market. In the United States, in 2016, dietary supplement sales reached $31.7 billion. By 2020, that figure is estimated to reach $41.4 billion, representing a 30% increase. It is estimated that the dietary supplement market will exceed $50 billion by 2023.
Within the dietary supplements market, Sports supplements will record the fastest growth rate (8.3%), followed closely by the practitioner market (8%), herbal supplements (6.8%) and vitamins (4.6%).3 The growth in the US dietary supplements market is attributed to the surge in the geriatric population, the adoption of dietary supplements, and an increasing preventative healthcare measure.4
Brand Development
We are working to develop products that are potent and able to perform based on the consumers expectations. To ensure are products meet these standards, we plan to develop various processes to test the purity, potency, and quality of the products we develop. This will allow us to obtain constructive feedback from consumers to help our products obtain the brand recognition we seek.
Part of developing our brand will be the placement of our products. To this end, we intend to market to, and work with, athletes, trainers, and other fitness professionals to best build our brand within our target community. This may include us participating in product demonstrations, fitness conferences, and other fitness and sporting events. We plan to take the feedback and other information we obtain from these sources and product testing to develop confidence in our brand.
Target Market
We are targeting American males and females who fall in the age group 18 – 45 years.
Although PEW's research of 2019 identified the American millennials to be people aged 23 – 38 however, our target audience of people between 18 and 45 years belong to this defined age range for millennials and by extension some of them are a little below this range while others are a little above the millennial range.
The American millennial population is growing at a fast pace and has surpassed the “baby boomers” generation. Based on population estimates by United States Census Bureau, millennials outnumbered baby boomers by 72.1 million to 71.6 million as of July 2019. By 2033, Millennials are expected to reach 74.9 million.5

We believe this is the optimal target group for our products because millennials tend to be well-informed and better educated than other age groups, a factor which is associated with being employed and financially stable. Additionally, there is a gap in earning power between those with a college degree and those with only high school education. To this end, about one-third of millennial men and about 43% of millennial women have at least a bachelor’s degree. As a result, 72% of millennials are employed, the highest among all generations (3% of millennials are unemployed and 25% of millennials are not in the labor force). Millennials with high school diploma or its equivalent have roughly $31,300 median earnings. Those who did not finish college or with associate degree have their median earnings at $36,000 whereas those with bachelor’s degree or higher earn $56,000 as their annual median income.6
They also enjoy leisure, love to keep fit, and are health conscious. Therefore, we will be targeting this unique group that tends to favor foods with less artificial ingredients as well as maintain good health through supplements that refresh physically and mentally. This focus, in addition to their earning power providing current and future disposable income to spend on products, like wellness and dietary supplements and confirm our view that this age group makes the best target market for our products.
Competition
We believe our supplements will compete with various products that boost the immune system, fight premature aging, promote recovery from exercise, and others that enhance overall health. The following table provides a sample of some of the products currently on the market with which our products may compete.

Intellectual Property
We have engaged counsel to trademark our Torque Lifestyle branded products in the United States. We do not own any patents.
Regulation
The supplement industry is subject to several regulatory regimes and entities. The actions of these entities may limit or prohibit our plans to develop our products and market. The FDA or other agencies could take actions against products or product ingredients that, in their determination, present an unreasonable health risk to consumers that would make it illegal for us to sell such products. Such actions or warnings could be based on information received through FDC Act-mandated reporting of serious adverse events. The failure of such products to comply with applicable regulatory and legislative requirements could prevent us from marketing the products or require us to recall or remove such products from the market, which in certain cases could materially and adversely affect our business strategy, our marketing, financial condition and results of operations. A removal or recall could also result in negative publicity and damage to our reputation that could reduce future demand for our products. See the “RISK FACTORS” section for additional risks related to regulation.
Litigation
We are not involved in any litigation, and our management is not aware of any pending or threatened legal actions relating to our intellectual property, conduct of our business activities, or otherwise.
We do not currently own or lease any property. Upon completion of this Offering, we intend to lease adequate space to develop or products and operate our business. As outlined in the “USE OF PROCEEDS” section, payment for the lease will come from part of the proceeds from this offering.

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 the unaudited financial statements and the notes thereto included in this Offering Circular. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements. Actual results could differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. See “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” above.
Operating Results
Torque Lifestyle Brands, Inc. was incorporated on May 10, 1999 in the State of Colorado. We were originally incorporated as Tensleep Design, Inc. With our name change and corporate reinstatement on April 19, 2020 and subsequent name change on July 27, 2020, we engaged in a strategic pivot to focus on and develop our Torque-branded supplements. We expect our Torque-branded supplements to be our primary source of revenue going forward.
2020 Compared to 2019
Results of Operations for Year Ended June 30, 2020 and 2019
The following summarizes the results of our operations for year ended 2020 as compared to year ended 2019:

Revenues
During the years ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, we did not generate any revenue.
Operating Expenses
Our total operating expenses in 2020 amounted to $40,000, which represented an increase of $40,000, or 100%, from the expenses in 2019. The increase in operating expenses is primarily due to an increase in general and administrative expenses in 2020 to reinstate the company.
Other Income, Net
Other income, net in 2020 amounted to $(18,847), which represented an increase of $18,847 from the amount in 2019. The increase in other income, net is due primarily to a loss attributable to a write off of assets in 2020.
| 21 |
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We do not currently have any outstanding loans or available credit facilities. As of June 30, 2020, we had no cash on hand. To date, our activities have been funded from the issuance of stock for services and other sweat equity of our management team.
We believe that with the funds from our regulation A offerings, we will have the capital available to sufficiently begin our operations until we begin to generate positive cash flows from operations. Depending on the amount raised in future equity offerings, we may need to raise additional funds, either in other securities offerings or from banks or other lenders. We do not currently have access to any line of credit or other sources of bank funding.
We currently have no material commitments for capital expenditures.
Cash Flows
As of June 30, 2020, we had no cash on hand, with the same being the case as of June 30, 2019. The following summarizes our cash flow activities for 2020 and 2019.
Cash used in operating activities was $61,121 in 2020, as compared to $0 in 2019. The increase in cash used in operations was primarily due to a lack of operations in 2019 as compared to 2020, as well as an increase in accrued liabilities as of June 30, 2020 as compared to the previous year.
Cash provided by investing activities was $65,458 in year ending June 30, 2020, as compared to $0 in year ending June 30, 2019. During 2020, cash provided by investing activities consisted primarily of a write off of fixed assets of $30,261 and intangible assets of $35,197.
Cash provided by financing activities was $(4,338) in year ending June 30, 2020, as compared to $0 in year ending June 30, 2019. In 2020, we had proceeds from additional paid in capital. These amounts were offset by payments to a shareholder, a previous loan agreement, a note, and line of credit.
Our ability to continue as a going concern on a long-term basis is dependent upon our ability to generate sufficient cash flow from operations to meet our obligations on a timely basis, to obtain additional financing and ultimately attain profitability.
Trend Information
We are operating in a new industry and there is a level of uncertainty about how fast the volume of activity will increase and how future regulatory requirements may change the landscape. For those reasons and because we are still in the infancy of these new regulations, we expect to continue to incur losses until such time that our product marketing and distribution channels can distribute our products to our customers to the extent it can generate sufficient revenues to cover our costs.
Impact of COVID-19
The outbreak of Covid-19 forced people across the world to stay indoors thus sprouting medical, social and economic challenges. Production and other business activities were put on hold as a result. Many cities across the world were on complete shutdown between the first and second quarter of the year 2020 thus making the source of livelihood unbearable for many. Some regions witnessed food shortages which presented possible risks for infections.
However, the dietary supplements market has shown resilience amidst the coronavirus pandemic. The industry is bracing up for new concepts in how marketing, research, manufacturing, and distribution is conducted. The dietary supplements landscape is being reshaped. Companies who had relied on suppliers overseas for their raw materials and production now have to strategize and produce more goods locally due to regional restrictions on trades, shipping price hikes, etc.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1 – Organization and Description of Business
Commodore International Corporation (AKA Reunite Investments, Inc.), a Colorado corporation (“we” or “us”). On May 10, 1999, we were incorporated as Tensleep Design, Inc. under the laws of the State of Colorado. On May 10, 2000, we amended our Articles of Incorporation and changed our name to Tensleep Technologies, Inc. At this time, we have 155,000,000 shares of stock authorized, 150,000,000 common shares and 5,000,000 preferred shares. The preferred shares had no designation of rights or privileges. We changed our name to Yeahronimo Media Ventures, Inc. on March 7, 2005 and on July 7, 2005 again changed our name to Commodore Inc. On September 16, 2005, we changed our name back to Yeahronimo Media Ventures, Inc. and on October 6, 2005 changed our name to Commodore International Corporation. Finally, on June 6, 2009, we changed our name to Reunite Investments, Inc., however, we never filed a FINRA corporate action to ratify the change so we continued to trade under the name Commodore International Corporation.
We filed a Form 10-SB in 1998 and 1999 but withdrew the filing both times. We filed the Form a third time in 1999 and the Form became effective in July 1999. We filed our last quarterly report on September 30, 2001 and thereafter filed the Form 15-12G, Notice of Termination of Registration, on December 27, 2001. On April 14, 2020, the 2nd Judicial District Court in Denver County entered an order appointing Small Cap Compliance, LLC, as our custodian. On April 15, 2020, Rhonda Keaveney was appointed as interim officer and director.
We were reinstated on April 19, 2020, and the custodian filed an amendment to the Articles of Incorporation to raise the authorized number of shares to 500,000,000 and designate the Series A Preferred Stock (voting and conversion rights 1 for 1,000). Ms. Keaveney issued 400,000 shares of Preferred A stock to Small Cap Compliance, LLC for services paid on our behalf. On July 13, 2020, Small Cap Compliance, LLC entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with David Lovatt and Leonard Armenta. As a result, the shares were transferred, and a change of control occurred. Rhonda Keaveney resigned her positions as CEO, Treasurer, Secretary, and Director. David Lovatt was appointed President, CEO, and Director and Leonard Armenta was appointed Secretary, Treasurer, and Director.
We filed a Certificate of Amendment with the Colorado Secretary of State on July 27,2020 to change our name to our current name, Torque Lifestyle Brands, Inc.
Torque Lifestyle Brands, Inc. is to become a recognized brand name in the supplements production industry with its headquarters in the United States of America. Our Nutritional Supplements offering is founded in 2020. Torque Nutritional Supplements, a subsidiary of Torque Lifestyle Brands, is set to be a global manufacturing company known for its unique production of nutritional supplements, specifically targeting sportspersons.
Our range of products will include Torque Metabolic Enhancer, Torque Source of Protein, Torque Fat burn tablets, and Torque Pre-workout & Recovery, which will be manufactured from natural ingredients in compliance with FDA regulation. Our products will be manufactured for the US market at the initial stage and sold to distribution partners in the nutritional supplements market, big players in the fast-moving consumer goods industry, big box retailers and fitness clubs. The next phase will see us expanding to markets outside the US including United Arab Emirates, Singapore, and South America.
We have elected June 30 as its year end.
Note 2 – Going Concern
Our financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern that contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. We have not established any source of revenue to cover our operating costs. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We will engage in very limited activities without incurring any liabilities that must be satisfied in cash until a source of funding is secured. We may offer non-cash consideration and seek equity lines as a means of financing its operations. If we are unable to obtain revenue producing contracts or financing or if the revenue or financing, we do obtain is insufficient to cover any operating losses we may incur, we may substantially curtail or terminate our operations or seek other business opportunities through strategic alliances, acquisitions or other arrangements that may dilute the interests of existing stockholders.

Note 3 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The Financial Statements and related disclosures have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Financial Statements have been prepared using the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) of the United States (See Note 2) regarding the assumption that we are a “going concern”.
Development Stage Company
We are a development stage company as defined by section 915-10-20 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. We are still devoting substantially all of our efforts on establishing the business. Our planned principal operations have not commenced.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary in order to make the financial statements not misleading have been included. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash Equivalents
We consider all highly liquid investments with maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Consolidated cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019 was $0. We consider all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Income Taxes
We account for income taxes under ASC 740 “Income Taxes.” Under the asset and liability method of ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period the enactment occurs. A valuation allowance is provided for certain deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that we will not realize tax assets through future operations.
Basic Earnings (Loss) Per Share
We compute basic and diluted earnings per share amounts in accordance with ASC Topic 260, Earnings per Share. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if stock options and other commitments to issue common stock were exercised or equity awards vest resulting in the issuance of common stock that could share in our earnings.
| F-10 |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Our balance sheet includes certain financial instruments. The carrying amounts of current assets and current liabilities approximate their fair value because of the relatively short period of time between the origination of these instruments and their expected realization.
We follow FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” which defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between (1) market participant assumptions developed based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) and (2) an entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (unobservable inputs). The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
| · | Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities. |
| · | Level 2 - 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 or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates); and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. |
| · | Level 3 - Inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable. |
Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. These financial instruments include accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable, accrued compensation and accrued expenses. The fair value of our notes payable is estimated based on current rates that would be available for debt of similar terms which is not significantly different from its stated value.
Share Based Expenses
ASC 718 “Compensation – Stock Compensation” prescribes accounting and reporting standards for all share-based payment transactions in which employee services are acquired. Transactions include incurring liabilities, or issuing or offering to issue shares, options, and other equity instruments such as employee stock ownership plans and stock appreciation rights. Share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, are recognized as compensation expense in the financial statements based on their fair values. That expense is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award, known as the requisite service period (usually the vesting period).
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation issued to non-employees and consultants in accordance with the provisions of ASC 505-50, “Equity – Based Payments to Non-Employees.” Measurement of share-based payment transactions with non-employees is based on the fair value of whichever is more reliably measurable: (a) the goods or services received; or (b) the equity instruments issued. The fair value of the share-based payment transaction is determined at the earlier of performance commitment date or performance completion date.
We had no stock-based compensation plans as of November 30, 2016. We had one stock issuance to one of our founders in the amount of 40,000,000 restricted common shares to the founder which were considered to be of nominal value through November 30, 2016.
| F-11 |
Related Parties
We follow ASC 850, Related Party Disclosures, for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions. During the three months ended September 30, 2020, our CEO loaned us $23,477. The note is non-interest bearing and matures on October 30, 2020.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Except for rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws and a limited number of grandfathered standards, the FASB Accounting Standards Codification™ (“ASC”) is the sole source of authoritative GAAP literature recognized by the FASB and are applicable to us.
We have reviewed the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) accounting pronouncements and interpretations thereof that have effectiveness dates during the periods reported and in future periods. We have carefully considered the new pronouncements that alter previous generally accepted accounting principles and does not believe that any new or modified principles will have a material impact on our reported financial position or operations in the near term. The applicability of any standard is subject to the formal review of our financial management and certain standards are under consideration.
Note 4 – Stockholder’s Deficit
On April 19, 2020, and the custodian filed an amendment to the Articles of Incorporation to raise the authorized number of common shares to 500,000,000, par value $0.001, from 150,000,000 and designate the Series A Preferred Stock to 10,000,000, par value $0.001, from 5,000,000 (voting and conversion rights 1 for 1,000).
On July 13, 2020, Small Cap Compliance, LLC entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with David Lovatt and Leonard Armenta. As a result, the shares were transferred, and a change of control occurred. Rhonda Keaveney resigned her positions as CEO, Treasurer, Secretary, and Director. David Lovatt was appointed President, CEO, and Director and Leonard Armenta was appointed Secretary, Treasurer, and Director. The shares were issued as follows:
| · | 200,000 Series A preferred shares issued to Dave Lovatt |
| · | 200,000 Series A preferred shares issued to Leonard Armenta |
As of September 30, 2020, we had 373,625 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding.
As of September 30, 2020, we had 400,000 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding.

ARTICLE 1. OFFICES
1.1. Business Offices. The principal office of the corporation shall be located in such location as the board of directors may determine from time to time. The corporation may have such other offices, either within or without Colorado, as the board of directors may designate or as the business of the corporation may require from time to time.
1.2. Registered Office. The registered office of the corporation required to be kept by the Colorado Business Corporation Act (as it may be amended from time to time, the "Act") shall be located within the State of Colorado and may be, but need not be, identical with the principal office. The address of the registered office may be changed from time to time.
ARTICLE 2. SHAREHOLDERS
2.1. Annual Meeting. The annual meeting of the shareholders shall be held on such date and such time as shall be designated from time to time by the board of directors, for the purpose of electing directors and for the transaction of such other business as may come before the meeting. The Directors have the right to defer annual meetings for where no ‘material business’ is on the agenda. If the day fixed for the annual meeting shall be a legal holiday, such meeting shall be held on the next succeeding business day.
2.2. Special Meetings. Special meetings of the shareholders, for any purpose or purposes described in the meeting notice, may be called by the president or by the board of directors, and shall be called by the president at the written request of the holders of not less than Seventy-Six percent (76%) of all the votes entitled to be cast on any issue proposed to be considered at the meeting.
2.3. Place of Meeting. The board of directors may designate any place, either within or without the State of Colorado, as the place of meeting for any annual or any special meeting of the shareholders. If no designation is made by the directors, the place of meeting shall be the principal office of the corporation in the State of Colorado.
2.4. Notice of Meeting.
2.4.(a) Content and Mailings Requirements. Written notice stating the date, time and place of each annual or special shareholder meeting shall be delivered no fewer than 5 nor more than 30 days before the date of the meeting, either personally or by mail, by or at the direction of the president, the board of directors, or other persons calling the meeting, to each shareholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting and to any other shareholder entitled by the Act or the articles of incorporation to receive notice of the meeting. Notice of special shareholder meetings shall include a description of the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called.
| 1 |
2.4.(b) Effective Date. Written notice shall be deemed to be effective at the earlier of: (1) when mailed, if addressed to the shareholder's address shown in the corporation's current record of shareholders; (2) when received; (3) five days after it is mailed; or (4) on the date shown on the return receipt if sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, and the receipt is signed by or on behalf of the addressee.
2.4.(c) Effect of Adjournment. If any shareholder meeting is adjourned to a different date, time or place, notice need not be given of the new date, time and place, if the new date, time and place is announced at the meeting before adjournment. But if a new record date for the adjourned meeting is or must be fixed, then notice must be given pursuant to the requirements of this section to those persons who are shareholders as of the new record date.
2.5. Waiver of Notice.
2.5.(a) Written Waiver. A shareholder may waive any notice required by the Act, the articles of incorporation or the bylaws, by a writing signed by the shareholder entitled to the notice, which is delivered to the corporation (either before or after the date and time stated in the notice) for inclusion in the minutes or filing with the corporate records.
2.5.(b) Attendance at Meetings. A shareholder's attendance at a meeting: (1) waives objection to lack of notice or defective notice of the meeting, unless the shareholder at the beginning of the meeting objects to holding the meeting or transacting business at the meeting because of lack of notice or effective notice; and (2) waives objection to consideration of a particular matter at the meeting that is not within the purpose or purposes described in the meeting notice, unless the shareholder objects to considering the matter when it is presented.
2.6. Record Date.
2.6.(a) Fixing of Record Date. For the purpose of determining shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of shareholders, or shareholders entitled to receive payment of any distribution, or in order to make a determination of shareholders for any other proper purpose, the board of directors may fix in advance a date as the record date. Such record date shall not be more than 70 days prior to the date on which the particular action requiring such determination of shareholders is to be taken. If no record date is so fixed by the board for the determination of shareholders entitled to notice of, or to vote at, a meeting of shareholders, the record date for determination of such shareholders shall be at the close of business on the day before the first notice is delivered to shareholders. If no record date is fixed by the board for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive a distribution, the record date shall be the date the board authorizes the distribution. If no record date is fixed by the board for the determination of shareholders entitled to take action without a meeting, the record date shall be the date the first shareholder signs a consent.
| 2 |
2.6.(b) Effect of Adjournment. When a determination of shareholders entitled to vote at any meeting of shareholders has been made as provided in this section, such determination shall apply to any adjournment thereof unless the board of directors fixes a new record date, which it must do if the meeting is adjourned to a date more than 120 days after the date fixed for the original meeting.
2.7. Shareholder List. After fixing a record date for a shareholders' meeting, the corporation shall prepare a list of the names of its shareholders entitled to be given notice of the meeting. The list must be arranged by voting group and within each voting group by class or series of shares, must be alphabetical within each class or series, and must show the address of, and the number of shares held by, each shareholder. The shareholder list must be available for inspection by any shareholder, beginning on the earlier of ten days before the meeting for which the list was prepared or two business days after notice of the meeting is given for which the list was prepared and continuing through the meeting and any adjournment thereof. The list shall be available at the corporation's principal office or at a place identified in the meeting notice in the city where the meeting will be held.
2.8. Shareholder Quorum and Voting Requirements.
2.8.(a) Quorum. At any meeting of shareholders, a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of the corporation entitled to vote, represented in person or in proxy, shall constitute a quorum. Shares entitled to vote as a separate voting group may take action on a matter at a meeting only if a quorum of those shares exists with respect to that matter. Unless the articles of incorporation or the Act provide otherwise, a majority of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter by the voting group constitutes a quorum of that voting group for action on that matter. Once a share is represented for any purpose at a meeting, it is deemed present for quorum purposes for the remainder of the meeting and for any adjournment of that meeting unless a new record date is or must be set for that adjourned meeting.
2.8.(b) Voting Groups. If the articles of incorporation or the Act provide for voting by a single voting group on a matter, action on that matter is taken when voted upon by that voting group. If the articles of incorporation or the Act provide for voting by two or more voting groups on a matter, action on that matter is taken only when voted upon by each of those voting groups counted separately. Action may be taken by one voting group on a matter even though no action is taken by another voting group entitled to vote on the matter.
2.8.(c) Shareholder Action. If a quorum exists, action on a matter, other than the election of directors, by a voting group is approved if the votes cast within the voting group favoring the action exceed the votes cast opposing the action, unless the articles of incorporation or the Act require a greater number of affirmative votes. Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast by the shares entitled to vote in the election at a meeting at which a quorum is present and, where applicable, on a ‘fully diluted’ or ‘as converted’ basis of several classes of shares.
| 3 |
2.9. Proxies. At all meetings of shareholders, a shareholder may vote in person or by proxy which is executed in writing by the shareholder or which is executed by his or her duly authorized attorney-in-fact. Such proxy shall be filed with the secretary of the corporation or other person authorized to tabulate votes before or at the time of the meeting. No proxy shall be valid after 11 months from the date of its execution unless otherwise provided in the proxy.
2.10. Voting of Shares. Unless otherwise provided in the articles of incorporation or by applicable law, each outstanding share, regardless of class, is entitled to one vote upon each matter submitted to a vote at a meeting of shareholders. Except as provided by specific court order, no shares of the corporation owned, directly or indirectly, by a second corporation, domestic or foreign, shall be voted at any meeting or counted in determining the total number of outstanding shares at any given time for purposes of any meeting if a majority of the shares entitled to vote for the election of directors of such second corporation are held by the corporation. The prior sentence shall not limit the power of the corporation to vote any shares, including its own shares, held by it in a fiduciary capacity.
2.11. Meetings by Telecommunications. Any or all shareholders may participate in an annual or special meeting by, or conduct the meeting through the use of, any means of com- munication by which all shareholders participating may hear each other during the meeting. A shareholder participating in a meeting by this means is deemed to be present in person at the meeting.
2.12. Action Without a Meeting.
2.12.(a) Written Consent. Any action which may be taken at a meeting of the shareholders may be taken without a meeting and without prior notice if one or more consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding shares having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shareholders entitled to vote with respect to the subject matter thereof were present and voted. Action taken under this section has the same effect as action taken at a meeting of shareholders and may be described as such in any document.
2.12.(b) Post-Consent Notice. Unless the written consents of all shareholders entitled to vote have been obtained, notice of any shareholder approval without a meeting shall be given at least ten days before the consummation of the action authorized by such approval to (i) those shareholders entitled to vote who have not consented in writing, and (ii) those sharehold- ers not entitled to vote and to whom the Act requires that notice of the proposed action be given. Any such notice must contain or be accompanied by the same material that is required under the Act to be sent in a notice of meeting at which the proposed action would have been submitted to the shareholders for action.
| 4 |
2.12.(c) Effective Date and Revocation of Consents. No action taken pursuant to this section shall be effective unless all written consents on which the corporation relies for the taking of an action are received by the corporation within a 60-day period and not revoked. Such action is effective as of the date the last written consent necessary to effect the action is received, unless all of the written consents specify a later date as the effective date of the action. If the corporation has received written consents signed by all shareholders entitled to vote with respect to the action, the effective date of the action may be any date that is specified in all the written consents as the effective date of the action. Any such writing may be received by the corporation by electronically transmitted facsimile or other form of communication providing the corporation with a complete copy thereof, including a copy of the signatures thereto. Any shareholder giving a written consent pursuant to this section may revoke the consent by a signed writing describing the action and stating that the consent is revoked, provided that such writing is received by the corporation prior to the effective date of the action.
ARTICLE 3. BOARD OF DIRECTORS
3.1. General Powers. All corporate powers shall be exercised by or under the authority of, and the business and affairs of the corporation shall be managed under the direction of, the board of directors.
3.2. Number, Tenure and Qualifications. The authorized number of directors shall be not less than one nor more than nine. The current number of directors shall be within the limits specified above, as determined (or as amended from time-to-time) by resolution adopted by either the shareholders or the directors. Each director shall hold office until the next annual meeting of shareholders or until the director's earlier death, resignation or removal. In the event of their death or incapacitation, a Director will be represented by their attorney, as nominated by their next of kin, until the next election. However, if a director's term expires, the director shall continue to serve until his or her successor shall have been elected and qualified, or until there is a decrease in the number of directors. Directors do not need to be residents of Colorado or shareholders of the corporation.
3.3. Regular Meetings. A regular meeting of the board of directors shall be held without other notice than this bylaw immediately after, and at the same place as, the annual meeting of shareholders (and only to the extent such annual meeting is, in fact, so held), for the purpose of appointing officers and transacting such other business as may come before the meeting. The board of directors may provide, by resolution, the time and place for the holding of additional regular meetings without other notice than such resolution.
| 5 |
3.4. Special Meetings. Special meetings of the board of directors may be called by or at the request of the president or the chairman of the board of directors. The person authorized to call special meetings of the board of directors may fix any place as the place for holding any special meeting of the board of directors.
3.5. Notice of Special Meetings. Notice of the date, time and place of any special director meeting shall be given at least two days previously thereto either orally or in writing. Oral notice shall be effective when communicated in a comprehensive manner. Written notice is effective as to each director at the earlier of: (a) when received; (b) three days after deposited in the United States mail, addressed to the director's address shown in the records of the corporation; or (c) two (2) days after sent via email to all directors; (d) the date shown on the return receipt if sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, and the receipt is signed by or on behalf of the director. Any director may waive notice of any meeting before or after the date and time of the meeting stated in the notice. Except as provided in the next sentence, the waiver must be in writing and signed by the director entitled to the notice. A director's attendance at or participation in a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, unless the director at the beginning of the meeting, or promptly upon his arrival, objects to holding the meeting or transacting business at the meeting because of lack of or defective notice, and does not thereafter vote for or assent to action taken at the meeting. Unless required by the articles of incorporation, neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any special meeting of the board of directors need be specified in the notice or waiver of notice of such meeting.
3.6. Quorum and Voting.
3.6.(a) Quorum. A majority of the number of directors prescribed by resolution adopted pursuant to section 3.2 of these bylaws, or if no number is prescribed, the number in office immediately before the meeting begins, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at any meeting of the board of directors, unless the articles of incorporation require a greater number.
3.6.(b) Voting. The act of the majority of the directors present at a meeting at which a quorum is present when the vote is taken shall be the act of the board of directors unless the articles of incorporation require a greater percentage.
3.6.(c) Presumption of Assent. A director who is present at a meeting of the board of directors or a committee of the board of directors when corporate action is taken is deemed to have assented to the action taken unless: (1) the director objects at the beginning of the meeting, or promptly upon his or her arrival, to holding or transacting business at the meeting and does not thereafter vote for or assent to any action taken at the meeting; (2) the director contemporaneously requests that his or her dissent or abstention as to any specific action be entered in the minutes of the meeting; or (3) the director causes written notice of his or her dissent or abstention as to any specific action be received by the presiding officer of the meeting before its adjournment or to the corporation immediately after adjournment of the meeting. The right of dissent or abstention is not available to a director who votes in favor of the action taken.
| 6 |
3.7. Meetings by Telecommunications. Any or all directors may participate in a regular or special meeting by, or conduct the meeting through the use of, any means of communication by which all directors participating may hear each other during the meeting. A director participating in a meeting by this means is deemed to be present in person at the meeting.
3.8. Action Without a Meeting. Any action required or permitted to be taken by the board of directors at a meeting may be taken without a meeting if all the directors consent to such action in writing. Action taken by written consent is effective when the last director signs the consent, unless, prior to such time, any director has revoked a consent by a signed writing received by the corporation, or unless the consent specifies a different effective date. A signed consent has the effect of an action taken at a meeting of directors and may be described as such in any document.
3.9. Resignation. A director may resign at any time by giving a written notice of resignation to the corporation. Such a resignation is effective when the notice is received by the corporation unless the notice specifies a later effective date, and the acceptance of such resignation shall not be necessary to make it effective.
3.10. Removal. The shareholders may remove one or more directors at a meeting called for that purpose if notice has been given that a purpose of the meeting is such removal. The removal must be with cause. If a director is elected by a voting group of shareholders, only the shareholders of that voting group may participate in the vote to remove that director. A director may be removed only if the number of votes cast to remove him or her exceeds the number of votes cast not to remove him or her. In the event of a tied vote, the President or Chairman of the Board, has the casting vote.
3.11. Vacancies. Unless the articles of incorporation provide otherwise, if a vacancy occurs on the board of directors, including a vacancy resulting from an increase in the number of directors, the shareholders or the board of directors may fill the vacancy. During such time if the directors remaining in office constitute fewer than a quorum of the board, they may fill the vacancy by the affirmative vote of a majority of all the directors remaining in office. If the vacant office was held by a director elected by a voting group of shareholders: (1) if one or more directors are elected by the same voting group, only such directors are entitled to vote to fill the vacancy if it is filled by the directors; and (2) only the holders of shares of that voting group are entitled to vote to fill the vacancy if it is filled by the shareholders. A vacancy that will occur at a specific later date (by reason of a resignation effective at a later date) may be filled before the vacancy occurs, but the new director may not take office until the vacancy occurs.
| 7 |
3.12. Compensation. By resolution of the board of directors, each director may be paid his or her expenses, if any, of attendance at each meeting of the board of directors and may be paid a stated salary as director or a fixed sum for attendance at each meeting of the board of directors or both. No such payment shall preclude any director from serving the corporation in any other capacity and receiving compensation therefor.
3.13. Committees. The board of directors may create one or more committees and appoint members of the board of directors to serve on them. Each committee must have two or more members, who serve at the pleasure of the board of directors. Those sections of this Article 3 which govern meetings, action without meetings, notice and waiver of notice, and quorum and voting requirements of the board of directors, apply to committees and their members.
ARTICLE 4. OFFICERS
4.1. Number. The officers of the corporation shall be a president, a secretary and a treasurer, each of whom shall be appointed by the board of directors. Such other officers and assistant officers as may be deemed necessary, including, but not limited to, a Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and any vice-presidents, may also be appointed by the board of direc- tors. If specifically authorized by the board of directors, an officer may appoint one or more officers or assistant officers. The same individual may simultaneously hold more than one office in the corporation.
4.2. Appointment and Term of Office. The officers of the corporation shall be appointed by the board of directors for a term as determined by the board of directors. The designation of a specified term does not grant to the officer any contract rights, and the board can remove the officer at any time prior to the termination of such term. If no term is specified, the officer shall hold office until he or she resigns, dies or until he or she is removed in the manner provided in section 4.3 of these bylaws. In the event of their death or incapacitation, an Officer will be represented by their attorney, as nominated by their next of kin, until the next election
4.3. Removal. Any officer or agent may be removed by the board of directors at any time, with or without cause. Such removal shall be without prejudice to the contract rights, if any, of the person so removed. Appointment of an officer or agent shall not of itself create contract rights. The removal must be with cause. A director may be removed only if the number of votes cast to remove him or her exceeds the number of votes cast not to remove him or her. In the event of a tied vote, the President or Chairman of the Board, has the casting vote.
4.4. Resignation. Any officer may resign at any time, subject to any rights or obligation under any existing contracts between the officer and the corporation, by giving notice to the president or board of directors. An officer's resignation shall be effective when received by the corporation, unless the notice specifies a later effective date, and the acceptance of such resignation shall not be necessary to make it effective.
| 8 |
4.5. Authority and Duties of Officers. The officers of the corporation shall have the authority and shall exercise the powers and perform the duties specified below and as may be additionally specified by the board of directors or these bylaws, except that in each event each officer shall exercise such powers and perform such duties as may be required by law:

The president may sign, with the secretary or any other proper officer of the corporation thereunto authorized by the board of directors, certificates for shares of the corporation and deeds, mortgages, bonds, contracts, or other instruments which the board of directors has authorized to be executed, except in cases where the signing and execution thereof shall be expressly delegated by the board of directors or by these bylaws to some other officer or agent of the corporation, or shall be required by law to be otherwise signed or executed.

| 10 |
(1) his or her conduct was in good faith; and
(2) he or she reasonably believed that his or her conduct was in, or not opposed to, the corporation's best interests; and

Such certificates shall be signed (either manually or by facsimile) by any two officers of the corporation and may be sealed with a corporate seal or a facsimile thereof. If the certificates are signed by facsimile, such certificates must be countersigned by a transfer agent or registered by a registrar, other than the corporation itself or an employee of the corporation.

Alternatively, each certificate may state conspicuously on its front or back that the corporation will furnish the shareholder this information on request in writing and without charge.
| 12 |

Exhibit 3.1
CERTIFICATE OF AMENDMENT
OF THE COMMON STOCK AND
CONVERTIBLE SERIES A PREFERRED STOCK
FOR REUNITE INVESTMENTS INC.
(FKA COMMODORE INTERNATIONAL CORP.)
It is hereby certified that:
1. The name of the Corporation is Reunite Investments Inc., [hereinafter called the "Corporation"].
2. The Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, of the Corporation authorizes:
| a. | 500,000,000 shares of its Common Stock, and |
| b. | Issuance of 10,000,000 (Ten Million) shares of Series A Preferred Stock, $.001 par value, and |
| c. | Expressly vests in the Board of Directors of the Corporation the authority provided therein to issue any or all of said shares in one or more series and by resolution or resolutions, the designation, number, full or limited voting powers, or the denial of voting powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional, and other special rights and the qualifications, limitations, restrictions, and other distinguishing characteristics of each series to be issued. |
3. The Board of Directors of the Corporation, pursuant to the authority expressly vested in it as aforesaid, has adopted the following resolutions amending its Common Stock and creating a Convertible Series A Preferred Stock issue of Preferred Stock:
RESOLVED, that the Board of Directors hereby authorizes the increase its Common Stock to 500,000,000 shares.
FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Board of Directors hereby fixes and determines the designation of the number of shares and the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions relating to the Convertible Series A Preferred Stock, as follows:

(b) Authorized Shares. The number of authorized shares of Series A Stock shall be 10,000,000 (Ten Million) shares.
(c) Liquidation Rights. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, either voluntary or involuntary, after setting apart or paying in full the preferential amounts due to Holders of senior capital stock, if any, the Holders of Series A Stock and parity capital stock, if any, shall be entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any distribution of any of the assets or surplus funds of the Corporation to the Holders of junior capital stock, including Common Stock, an amount equal to $.001 per share [the "Liquidation Preference"]. If upon such liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to the Holders of the Series A Stock and parity capital stock, if any, shall be insufficient to permit in full the payment of the Liquidation Preference, then all such assets of the Corporation shall be distributed ratably among the Holders of the Series A Stock and parity capital stock, if any. Neither the consolidation or merger of the Corporation nor the sale, lease or transfer by the Corporation of all or a part of its assets shall be deemed a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation for purposes of this Section (c).
(d) Dividends. The Series A Stock is not entitled to receive any dividends in any amount during which such shares are outstanding.
| 1 |
(e) Conversion Rights. Each share of Series A Stock shall be convertible, at the option of the Holder, into 1,000 (One Thousand) fully paid and non-assessable shares of the Corporation's Common Stock. The foregoing conversion calculation shall be hereinafter referred to as the “Conversion Ratio.”
(i) Conversion Procedure. Upon written notice to the Holder, the Holder shall affect conversions by surrendering the certificate(s) representing the Preferred Series A Stock to be converted to the Corporation, together with a form of conversion notice satisfactory to the Corporation, which shall be irrevocable. Not later than five [5] business days after the conversion date, the Corporation will deliver to the Holder, (i) a certificate or certificates, which shall be subject to restrictive legends, representing the number of shares of Common Stock being acquired upon the conversion; provided, however, that the Corporation shall not be obligated to issue such certificates until the Series A Stock is delivered to the Corporation. If the Corporation does not deliver such certificate(s) by the date required under this paragraph (e) (i), the Holder shall be entitled by written notice to the Corporation at any time on or before receipt of such certificate(s), to receive 100 Series A Stock shares for every week the Corporations fails to deliver Common Stock to the Holder.
(ii) Adjustments on Stock Splits, Dividends and Distributions. If the Corporation, at any time while any Series A Stock is outstanding, (a) shall pay a stock dividend or otherwise make a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Stock payable in shares of its capital stock [whether payable in shares of its Common Stock or of capital stock of any class], (b) subdivide outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (c) combine outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (d) issue reclassification of shares of Common Stock for any shares of capital stock of the Corporation, the Conversion Ratio shall be adjusted by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock issuable by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock of the Corporation outstanding after such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding before such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this paragraph (e)(iii) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification. Whenever the Conversion Ratio is adjusted pursuant to this paragraph, the Corporation shall promptly mail to the Holder a notice setting forth the Conversion Ratio after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.
(iii) Adjustments on Reclassifications, Consolidations and Mergers. In case of reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into another person, the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property, then each Holder of Series A Stock then outstanding shall have the right thereafter to convert such Series A Stock only into the shares of stock and other securities and property receivable upon or deemed to be held by Holders of Common Stock following such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange, and the Holder shall be entitled upon such event to receive such amount of securities or property as the shares of the Common Stock into which such Series A Stock could have been converted immediately prior to such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange would have been entitled. The terms of any such consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange shall include such terms so as to continue to give to the Holder the right to receive the securities or property set forth in this paragraph (e)(iv) upon any conversion following such consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange. This provision shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, consolidations, mergers, sales, transfers or share exchanges.
(iv) Fractional Shares; Issuance Expenses. Upon a conversion of Series A Stock, the Corporation shall not be required to issue stock certificates representing fractions of shares of Common Stock but shall issue that number of shares of Common Stock rounded to the nearest whole number. The issuance of certificates for shares of Common Stock on conversion of Series A Stock shall be made without charge to the Holder for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such certificate, provided that the Corporation shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such certificate upon conversion in a name other than that of the Holder, and the Corporation shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificates unless or until the person or persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Corporation the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Corporation that such tax has been paid.
| 2 |
(f) Voting Rights. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or as required by law, the Holders of shares of Series A Stock shall be entitled to vote on any and all matters considered and voted upon by the Corporation's Common Stock. The Holders of the Series A Stock shall be entitled to 1,000 (One Thousand) votes per every 1 (one) share of Series A Stock.
(g) Reservation of Shares of Common Stock. The Corporation covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued Common Stock solely for the purpose of issuance upon conversion of Series A Stock as herein provided, free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of persons other than the Holders of Series A Stock, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall be issuable upon the conversion of the outstanding Series A Stock. If at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding Series A Stock, the Corporation will take such corporate action necessary to increase its authorized shares of Common Stock to such number as shall be sufficient for such purpose. The Corporation covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be so issuable shall, upon issue, be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid and non assessable.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, on this 15th day of April 2020, said Reunite Investments Inc., has caused this Certificate to be signed by Small Cap Compliance, LLC.

For the purpose of rendering my opinion herein, I have reviewed statutes of the State of Colorado, to the extent I deem relevant to the matter opined upon herein, certified or purported true copies of the Articles of Incorporation of Torque Lifestyle Brands, Inc. and all amendments thereto, the Bylaws of Torque Lifestyle Brands, Inc., communications from the board of directors of Torque Lifestyle Brands, Inc. regarding the business plans of the corporation as I have deemed necessary and relevant to the matter opined upon herein. I have assumed, with respect to persons other than directors and officers of Torque Lifestyle Brands, Inc., the due and proper election or appointment of all persons signing and purporting to sign the documents in their respective capacities, as stated therein, the genuineness of all signatures, the conformity to authentic original documents of the copies of all such documents submitted to me as certified, conformed and photocopied, including the quoted, extracted, excerpted and reprocessed text of such documents.
Based upon the review described above, it is my opinion that the Shares are duly authorized and when, as and if issued and delivered by Torque Lifestyle Brands, Inc. against payment therefore, as described in the offering statement, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
I have not been engaged to examine, nor have I examined, the Offering Statement for the purpose of determining the accuracy or completeness of the information included therein or the compliance and conformity thereof with the rules and regulations of the SEC or the requirements of Form 1-A, and I express no opinion with respect thereto. My forgoing opinion is strictly limited to matters of Colorado corporate law; and, I do not express an opinion on the federal law of the United States of America or the law of any state or jurisdiction therein other than Colorado, as specified herein.
I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as Exhibit 12.1 to the Offering Statement and to the reference to our firm under the caption “Legal Matters” in the Offering Circular constituting a part of the Offering Statement. We assume no obligation to update or supplement any of the opinion set forth herein to reflect any changes of law or fact that may occur following the date hereof.
Thanks,
