Our Company
Revival AI Inc. (“Revival” or the “Company”) is designing artificial intelligence-driven, auto-customizing technology that enables the total customization of a single Bible. The customization includes interior features such as page layout, text font and size, translation selection, study and devotional tools, creeds, additional note pages, and genealogy. The customization also includes exterior features such as cover material and color, laser or gilding of images and custom text, as well as ribbon selection, gilding, and art gilding in a variety of colors. Further, Revival AI will be utilizing the most advanced, commercial digital printing technologies to produce high-quality, custom Bibles. Once off the press and smyth-sewn, each book block will proceed into our autonomous, 20-step, proprietary finishing solution. At the same time that the book block is being printed and finished, each cover is assembled and customized via robotic arms, lasers and ultra-sonic technology. Once the book block and cover are complete, the system assembles the Bible, wraps it in protective paper, and places it in a Revival AI or other branded box. Finally, each Bible box is then bubble-wrapped, placed into an addressed shipping box, and stacked on a pallet for shipment.
Using this patented, as well as patent-pending technology, Revival plans to print and ship custom Bibles direct to consumer and white label the technology for Christian publishers.
Originally organized as a Colorado limited liability company on January 29, 2018, the Company converted into a corporation on August 21, 2020 (the “Conversion”).

| 3 |
An investment in our shares involves a high degree of risk and many uncertainties. You should carefully consider the specific factors listed below, together with the cautionary statement that follows this section and the other information included in this offering circular, before purchasing our shares in this offering. If one or more of the possibilities described as risks below actually occur, our operating results and financial condition would likely suffer and the trading price, if any, of our shares could fall, causing you to lose some or all of your investment. The following is a description of what we consider the key challenges and material risks to our business and an investment in our securities.
Risks Related to our Business and Industry
We have a limited operating history and have not yet generated any revenues.
Our limited operating history makes evaluating the business and future prospects difficult, and may increase the risk of your investment. Revival was formed in January 2018 initially as a limited liability company and we have not yet completed our technology that will be used to produce customized Bibles. To date, we have no revenues. We intend in the longer term to derive substantial revenues from the sales of customized Bibles. We estimate that approximately $10 million is needed to commence our proposed business. We cannot assure you that our technology platform will be developed successfully or that our proposed business will be profitable.
It is anticipated that we will likely experience an increased loss from operations prior to commencing pre-sales of custom Bibles.
For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, Revival generated a loss of $3,660, and for the six months ended June 30, 2020, we generated a loss of $687, bringing our accumulated deficit to $4,382. We anticipate generating losses for the current fiscal year and the next fiscal year, until we begin taking pre-sales of custom Bibles. Pre-sales of custom Bibles will -commence approximately two months prior to the grand opening of our printing and binding facility in Parker, Colorado, which is anticipated to occur within one year of successfully closing this offering. The independent auditor’s report on our financial statements includes an explanatory paragraph relating to our ability to continue as a going concern, but states, “The Company’s management…is satisfied that the Company has the resources to continue its operations for the foreseeable future.”
As a pre-revenue company, we have no revenues to date and have been dependent upon our founders to contribute capital to finance our operations. Even if we are able to successfully develop our business, there can be no assurance that we will be commercially successful. If we are to achieve profitability, we must have a successful commercial introduction and acceptance of our custom-printing business, which could potentially not occur. However, with the broad application of our customizing software and finishing technology, including fiction and non-fiction works, Revival has a plan for a diverse product offering to offset the possible rejection of Revival’s technology, as applied to the Bible.
We expect to incur a loss for the current fiscal year as we:
| ● | complete enhancements of our fully functional software platform; | |
| ● | complete the design of our custom Bible finishing machinery; | |
| ● | file a new provisional patent application on our proprietary finishing machinery; and | |
| ● | engage in a marketing campaign for this Regulation A offering. |
Because we will incur the costs and expenses from the Regulation A offering, patent fees, as well as the software and hardware design efforts currently underway before we receive any revenues with respect thereto, our loss for the 2020 fiscal year will be significantly greater than the losses we have incurred thus far. In addition, we may find that these efforts are more expensive than we currently anticipate. However, our owners have committed to contributing capital to propel Revival’s future.
| 4 |
We may not be able to obtain adequate financing to continue our operations.
Should we raise only the Minimum Offering, we would be required to alter our proposed plan of operations, which would reduce the volume of Bibles that we could produce on a daily basis. In addition, we would be required to reduce the number of varieties of custom covers and materials initially offered, since we will not have the ability to make a bulk purchase from our international suppliers. With a limited ability to fulfill orders, wait times for custom Bibles may increase, which would reduce customer satisfaction. Further, if we raise only the Minimum Offering, our marketing efforts will not be as robust and will impact the time required for market acceptance of our custom technologies. For these reasons, we are hopeful to reach the Maximum Offering.
Terms of subsequent financings may adversely impact your investment.
Revival currently plans to rely solely on the proceeds from this offering and not engage in further rounds of equity financing. If we are successful in our reaching our Maximum Offering, all future expansion of Revival would be financed through proceeds of the Company. However, we may have to engage in debt or equity financing in the future. In such case, your rights and the value of your investment in the common stock could be reduced. Interest on debt securities could increase costs and negatively impact operating results. In addition, if we need to raise more equity capital from the sale of common stock, institutional or other investors may negotiate terms at least as, and possibly more, favorable than the terms of your investment.
We face certain challenges in our attempt to launch our autonomous, custom Bible printing business, and if we cannot continue to successfully overcome those challenges the business may be negatively impacted.
Being a technology company that is revolutionizing the way that Bibles are designed and manufactured, we face technical challenges as we fine-tune these processes. Our software is fully functional and is currently undergoing enhancements to make the functionality more robust and the user experience improved, as we wait for funding for the hardware and facility to be complete. On the hardware side, we currently have a basic design of the custom Bible finishing machinery, which includes 40 unique machines fed from a dual-printer workflow. Our engineering firm, Seifert Technologies, has begun work to take this design to a full production intent prototype. They are collaborating with local machine fabricators, such as Denver Machine Shop, as well as robotics experts, such as FANUC. At the same time, our software developers are implementing processes to integrate our software platform with the finishing machinery. As a custom printer of Bibles, we face a variety of non-technical challenges in producing custom Bibles that a traditional book printer would not encounter including additional costs of developing and producing the necessary processes associated with “book of one” printing and finishing runs. In order to be successful, we must overcome these barriers or adapt to use one or more different solutions.
Our success with using Revival’s technology as applied to the Bible is contingent upon consumers’ willingness to continue to use hard-copy Bibles.
If we cannot develop sufficient market demand for custom-printed Bibles, we will be required to pivot and focus solely on building partnerships with publishers to produce licensed and public domain works in a custom format. Factors that may influence the acceptance of custom-printed Bibles include:
| ● | a general movement towards a secular society and a decline in Christianity; | |
| ● | the availability of electronic Bibles (though studies have consistently shown that readers overwhelmingly prefer a physical Bible over an electronic Bible); and | |
| ● | restrictions imposed by government on the free exercise of faith. |
| 5 |
Our success is highly dependent on our co-founders.
William and Kristin Robinson, the unpaid co-founders of the Company, are currently solely responsible for implementation of Revival’s business plan. At the moment, these responsibilities include ensuring that the custom Bible building software and the design for the custom Bible finishing machine will both be completed and perform as designed. Upon the successful completion of the offering, the Robinsons will also be responsible for the acquisition of the land for, and construction of, the printing and binding facility, as well as the launch of a marketing campaign, although they will be working with real estate, construction and marketing experts.
As Revival’s success is highly dependent on William and Kristin Robinson’s vision being fulfilled, they have established a personal trust to ensure their plans for Revival continue to be executed in the event of their untimely deaths. This trust includes the hiring of new management for the continued success and growth of the Company. Transition in this circumstance would not be a substantial barrier, as the Robinsons have already assembled an extensive team of experts working to ensure Revival’s success, including our machine-learning experts at Model Rocket, who have a vested interest in seeing its success as part-owners. In addition, Seifert Technologies has been contracted to design the custom finishing machinery for Revival, and local machine shops will fabricate the finishing machinery. Further, the Robinsons are working collaboratively with experts from Canon, Tecnau and Smyth USA, as well as numerous leather, paper and glue suppliers.
If we are unable to protect our intellectual property, the value of our brand and other intangible assets may be diminished and our business may be adversely affected.
Revival relies and expects to continue to rely on patent protection laws to protect its proprietary rights. The Company has filed multiple patent applications in the United States and European Union for protection of certain aspects of its intellectual property, and currently holds one granted patent. However, third parties may knowingly or unknowingly infringe our proprietary rights, third parties may unreasonably challenge proprietary rights held by Revival, and pending and future patent applications may not be approved. In addition, effective intellectual property protection may not be available in every country in which we intend to operate in the future. In any or all of these cases, we may be required to expend significant time and expense in order to prevent infringement or to enforce our rights. In the unlikely case that the protection of our proprietary rights is inadequate to prevent unauthorized use or appropriation by third parties, the value of our brand and other intangible assets may be diminished and competitors may be able to more effectively mimic our service and methods of operations. Any of these events could have an adverse effect on our business and financial results.
Risks Related to the Investment in our Common Stock
The ownership of our common stock is concentrated among existing executive officers and directors.
Upon the sale of all of the shares offered in this offering, our executive officers and directors will continue to own beneficially, in the aggregate, a vast majority of the outstanding shares, and all of the voting power of the Company’s capital stock. As a result, they will be able to exercise a significant level of control over all matters requiring shareholder approval, including the election of directors, amendments to our Articles of Incorporation, and approval of significant corporate transactions. As evangelical Christians, the founders of the Company have deliberately maintained majority control to ensure that the vision and direction of the Company remain faithful to the Bible. This control could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control of the Company or changes in management and will make the approval of certain transactions difficult or impossible without the support of these shareholders.
| 6 |
Investors in this offering will purchase shares without voting rights.
The shares being offered are shares of Class B Non-Voting Common Stock, and are not entitled to vote on any matters submitted to the shareholders for a vote. The co-founders of the Company own all of the issued and outstanding shares of Class A Voting Common Stock. The co-founders also comprise two of the four directors of the Company and the Company’s Bylaws provide that a majority of the board constitutes a quorum for the transaction of business at any meeting of the board of directors, but must include at least one of the co-founders. As a consequence, the co-founders exert a great deal of control over the management and operation of the Company and investors in this offering should understand that they have no right to elect a director of the Company.
Investors may experience dilution in the future if the Company issues additional units of membership interest.
The Company may, in the sole discretion of the Board of Directors, issue additional shares of capital stock in the Company to raise additional capital. Any such issuance would dilute the percentage interest of investors in our Company, including investors in this Offering.
Investors in this offering will experience immediate and substantial dilution.
Due to our accumulated deficit and the offering price of the shares, investors in this offering will suffer immediate and substantial dilution of $0.74 per share or approximately 74.4% of the offering price of the shares if the maximum offering is sold or $0.82 per share or approximately 82.0% of the offering price if only the minimum offering is sold. Further, if all of the shares offered hereby are sold, investors in this offering will own less than 27% of the then outstanding shares of common stock, but will have paid over 97% of the total consideration for our outstanding shares. See “Dilution.”
There currently is no public trading market for our securities and there are no plans to establish a trading market for the shares.
There is currently no public trading market for our common stock, and there are no plans to establish a trading market for the shares. Accordingly, investors in this offering may never recover their investment in the shares through the resale of their shares. However, if the Company should attain sufficient profitability, management intends to declare the payment of dividends.
| 7 |
DILUTION
If you invest in our shares, your interest will be diluted to the extent of the difference between the public offering price per share of our common stock and the as adjusted net tangible book value per share of our capital stock after this offering. Our net tangible book value as of June 30, 2020, after giving effect to the Conversion and additional capital contribution of $210,100 subsequent to June 30, 2020, was $210,209, or $0.006 per share of outstanding common stock. Without giving effect to any changes in the net tangible book value after June 30, 2020, other than the Conversion, additional capital contribution, and sale of 12,500,000 shares in this offering at the initial public offering price of $1.00 per share, our pro forma net tangible book value as of June 30, 2020 was $12,162,639 or $0.256 per share of outstanding capital stock. Dilution in net tangible book value per share represents the difference between the amount per share paid by the purchasers of our shares in this offering and the net tangible book value per share of our capital stock immediately afterwards. This represents an immediate increase of $0.250 per share of capital stock to existing shareholders and an immediate dilution of $0.744 per share of common stock to the new investors, or approximately 74.4% of the assumed initial public offering price of $1.00 per share. The following table illustrates this per share dilution:
| Minimum Offering | Maximum Offering | |||||||||||||||
| Initial price to public | $ | 1.00 | $ | 1.00 | ||||||||||||
| Net tangible book value as of June 30, 2020* | $ | 0.006 | $ | 0.006 | ||||||||||||
| Increase in net tangible book value per share attributable to new investors | 0.250 | 0.174 | ||||||||||||||
| As adjusted net tangible book value per share after this offering | 0.256 | 0.820 | ||||||||||||||
| Dilution in net tangible book value per share to new investors | $ | 0.744 | $ | 0.180 | ||||||||||||
*Gives effect to the Conversion and the additional capital contribution of $210,100 by the co-founders of the Company subsequent to June 30, 2020.
The following table summarizes the differences between the existing shareholders and the new investors with respect to the number of shares of common stock purchased, the total consideration paid, and the average price per share paid, on both a minimum and maximum offering basis:
Minimum Offering:
| Shares Purchased | Total Consideration | Average Price Per | ||||||||||||||||||
| Number | Percent | Amount | Percent | Share | ||||||||||||||||
| Existing shareholders | 35,000,000 | 80.5 | % | $ | 283,637 | 3.6 | % | $ | 0.01 | |||||||||||
| New investors | 8,000,000 | 18.5 | % | 7,526,455 | 96.4 | % | $ | 0.94 | ||||||||||||
| Total | 43,000,000 | 100.0 | % | $ | 7,799,992 | 100.0 | % | $ | 0.18 | |||||||||||
Maximum Offering:
| Shares Purchased | Total Consideration | Average Price Per | ||||||||||||||||||
| Number | Percent | Amount | Percent | Share | ||||||||||||||||
| Existing shareholders | 35,000,000 | 73.7 | % | $ | 283,637 | 2.3 | % | $ | 0.01 | |||||||||||
| New investors | 12,500,000 | 26.3 | % | 11,952,430 | 97.7 | % | $ | 0.96 | ||||||||||||
| Total | 47,500,000 | 100.0 | % | $ | 12,225,967 | 100.0 | % | $ | 0.26 | |||||||||||
The amounts shown in the two tables above reflect the Conversion and the additional capital contribution of $210,100 by the co-founders of the Company subsequent to June 30, 2020.

We estimate that, at a per share price of $1.00, the net proceeds from the sale of the 12,500,000 shares in this offering will be approximately $11,952,430, after deducting the estimated offering expenses of approximately $547,570. If only the minimum number of 8,000,000 shares is sold, the net proceeds will be approximately $7,526,455 after deducting estimated offering expenses of $473,545.
The net proceeds of this offering will be used primarily to (1) purchase the land for and construct the printing and binding facility; (2) purchase the necessary equipment to commence commercial printing operations; (3) purchase pre-launch inventory of supplies for printing and shipping; (4) engage in a marketing campaign, and (5) provide working capital.
Accordingly, we expect to use the net proceeds as follows:

Corporate Background and General Overview
Revival AI Inc. (“Revival” or the “Company”) is a cutting-edge, technology company that has redefined the future of Bible design and manufacturing. Utilizing artificial intelligence, machine-learning, and advanced robotics, Revival’s technology allows for the total customization and production of a single Bible. Features such as page layout, text font and size, translation selection, study and devotional tools, creeds, cover material and even unique laser or gilded cover designs can all be customized on the fly. Using this patented technology, Revival plans to print and ship custom Bibles worldwide.
The co-founders, William John Robinson and Kristin Nichol Robinson, first developed the concept in 2015 and filed an application for a patent (“Methods and systems for on-demand publishing of religious works”) on March 25, 2015 through their company, Narrow Gate Publishing LLC (application number 15/129,637). U.S. patent number 10,048,902 was issued on September 27, 2016.
With advances in machine learning and artificial intelligence in recent years, and the integration of said technology in the custom Bible builder, the Robinsons formed Revival AI LLC, a Colorado limited liability company, in January 2018 and transferred the patent to Revival AI LLC in 2018. The Company converted into a Colorado corporation on August 21, 2020 (the “Conversion”) to facilitate this offering.
A provisional patent application was filed on October 19, 2020, relating to the finishing machinery that will be used in the custom book process (“Book production system and method”).
Custom-printed Bibles
The Company has developed proprietary software and hardware that will enable customers to design and order a Bible customized to their specifications, as opposed to purchasing a Bible that has been pre-designed and mass-printed, as is currently the practice. The Company plans to construct an office/printing/finishing/shipping facility in the Denver-metropolitan area that will allow the printing, binding, and finishing of custom Bibles and books.
Interior customization options include:
| ● | Bible translation choice (including parallel options); | |
| ● | study or devotional notes; | |
| ● | type/size of font of numerous categories (title, header, sub-header, text, study notes, etc.); | |
| ● | format, such as single column or double column; | |
| ● | maps and artwork; | |
| ● | cross-references; | |
| ● | words of Christ in red; and | |
| ● | supplemental materials, such as prayers and creeds. |
Exterior customization options include:
| ● | color and material of cover and liner; | |
| ● | color and number of ribbon markers; | |
| ● | customized, lasered text and images; | |
| ● | customized, gilded text and images; | |
| ● | page edge gilding type and color; and | |
| ● | art gilding. |
The custom Bible building software as a minimally viable product is complete and is currently in phase 2 development by Model Rocket LLC. This phase of upgrades includes several product enhancements and is scheduled to be completed by March 31, 2021.
| 10 |
The custom Bible finishing machine, which would allow the Bibles to be printed and bound in a fully-automated method, has completed the first phase of design by Seifert Technologies. As of October 21, 2020, the project is currently in phase 2 of development, which includes several enhancements. It is scheduled to be completed by November 30, 2020.
The Company also plans to use its software and machinery to print other books such as the 1911 Encyclopedia Brittanica, as well as other rare and collectible books that are no longer in print. It may also white label the technology to select publishing houses. This would allow third-party partners to custom-print and bind their works in a desirable gilded and Smyth-Sewn1 manner with a variety of cover options that are completely customizable.
The Market
We plan to sell initially direct to consumer worldwide via the Company’s website (www.revivalai.com), and use professional advertising agencies to direct strategic market campaigns.
We also intend to engage in white labeling and licensing our software to Christian publishers, which will allow them to easily integrate their translations and content for direct to consumer sales. We will be offering attractive licensing options for these publishing houses, thereby enabling them to advertise their materials and have their customers purchase through their websites. Revival AI would fulfill and ship each custom, white-labeled order.
In addition, our software and hardware technologies have applications in publishing outside of the Bible that Revival will pursue.
Intellectual Property
Patents. The Company owns U.S. patent number 10,048,902, issued on September 27, 2016, for “Methods and systems for on-demand publishing of religious works.” It also has a pending patent application in Europe. On October 19, 2020, we filed a provisional patent application for our printing/finishing/binding machinery. As advancements are made in Revival’s custom Bible technology, additional patent applications will be filed to protect the Company’s intellectual property.
Licensing. Revival has both public domain and licensed content available through the custom Bible builder. The Company has a license agreement established with Tolle Lege Press for use of the “1599 Geneva Bible (GNV)” translation and derivative content, as well as with Iglesia Bautista Bíblica de la Gracia for use of the “La Valera 1602 Purificada” translation. The King James Bible is in the public domain worldwide, except for in the United Kingdom. Rights to The Authorized Version of the Bible (King James Bible) in the United Kingdom are vested in the Crown and administered by the Crown’s patentee, Cambridge University Press. Cambridge University Press has assured Revival permission upon paying a 3-year fee of 650GBP and signing a contract, which will be executed when the license is needed just prior to pre-sales.
Competition
There are no direct competitors in the custom Bible market, as Revival’s technology is patented. We believe that the only way for a competitor to enter the custom Bible market is through a licensing or white label agreement with us, or by developing its own proprietary technology. In the Bible industry as a whole, we are competing for Bible sales with other Christian publishers. That said, once Christian publishers understand Revival’s technology, we are optimistic that they will embrace our custom Bible model – as it results in lower overhead, higher profits, fully satisfied customers, and is a “green” approach to publishing, since every Bible produced already has an owner.
1 Smyth Sewn binding is a technique that involves sewing the pages into the book physically with binding thread. Once sewn in, fabric backing and various adhesives reinforce the pages, ensuring a lasting hold. This technique is popular with books of all types because they lay completely flat and can endure years of wear and tear.

Employees
The Company’s co-founders, William and Kristin Robinson, are the only two employees and are not paid for their services.
Legal Proceedings
There are no legal proceedings material to our business or financial condition pending and, to the best of our knowledge, there are no such legal proceedings contemplated or threatened.
Property
The Company is operated remotely and uses 10940 S Parker Road, #872, Parker, Colorado 80134, as its mailing address, which is leased on a month-to-month basis for $12 per month.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION
Since our organization in January 2018, we have been engaged primarily in developing the software platform that will enable us to print customized Bibles. Our planned principal operations have not yet commenced. We completed the development of our basic custom Bible interface. The second phase of development, which includes complex exterior customization features and significant interior enhancement is scheduled for completion in March 2021. We have also completed the phase one design of our custom binding machine and are on phase two developments.
Cash investment has totaled $283,637 from incorporation through September 30, 2020. Our co-founders intend to invest another $200,000 in November of 2020 towards marketing the Regulation A offering.
Operating Results
We have not yet generated any revenues and do not anticipate doing so until 2021 at the earliest.
Year Ended December 31, 2019 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2018. Operating expenses for the 2019 fiscal year ($3,660) increased significantly over the 2018 fiscal year ($35), reflecting our increased activity. Most of the expenses were incurred for legal and professional services, as we established licensing agreements with Tolle Lege Press and Iglesia Bautista Bíblica de la Gracia for their Bible translations.
As a result, our net loss for the 2019 fiscal year was $3,660, as compared to $35 for the 2018 fiscal year. Our accumulated deficit was $3,695 at December 31, 2019.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2020. Operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2020 were $687, incurred primarily for obtaining public domain materials for incorporation in the custom Bible interface.
As a result, our net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $687, and our accumulated deficit was $4,382 at June 30, 2020.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
December 31, 2019. As of December 31, 2019, we had cash and working capital of $39,634, as compared to cash and working capital of $65 at December 31, 2018. The increase in cash and working capital was due primarily to additional investments made by our co-founders of $68,704 in 2019.
| 12 |
June 30, 2020. As of June 30, 2020, we had cash and working capital of $109. In September 2020, our co-founders contributed an additional $200,000 in capital and anticipate contributing another $200,000 in capital in November 2020.
Plan of Operations
Following commencement of the offering, Revival will focus on advertising this offering A offering through conservative channels such as Blaze Media and Fox Corporation. At the same time, the Company will continue to finalize work on the custom Bible software interface, as well as finalizing development of the custom Bible finishing machinery.
Upon successful completion of the offering, Revival will have sufficient cash to implement the plan of operations. The identified two-acre property in Parker, Colorado, will be purchased and construction will begin by Morton Buildings, Inc. as soon as possible. Concurrently, contracts will be established with Canon, Tecnau and Smyth USA. The estimated time for delivery and machinery installation is six months. In addition, local machine fabricators, such as Denver Machine Company, will begin fabricating the components of the custom finishing machinery, and the robots will be purchased from FANUC. Engineers from Seifert Technologies will work with local fabricators to implement the hardware and software required for custom Bible finishing in a “book of one” method. Approximately 30-60 days prior to launch, custom Bibles will be pre-sold on the revivalai.com website. The facility will have the capability to produce approximately 4,000 custom Bibles per day, depending on the page count of each Bible.

Model Rocket, LLC
On October 28, 2019, the Company entered into an agreement with Model Rocket LLC to develop the software platform designed to provide print-ready Bibles using an artificial intelligence-driven engine that will allow users to design and format the Bible. Model Rocket agreed to provide the labor and development services at a reduced cost, estimated at 25% of the project, and to cap the cost of such services at $65,000. In return, the Company agreed to transfer 10% ownership of the Company contingent upon completion of the services by March 31, 2020.
On August 13, 2020, the Company and Model Rocket entered into an amendment to the agreement which extended the completion date to March 31, 2021 and called for the issuance of the ownership interest upon execution of the amendment. The ownership interest, which is evidenced by 3,500,000 shares of Class B Non-Voting Common Stock, shall revert back to the Company if the services are not completed by March 31, 2021.
Future Transactions
All future affiliated transactions will be made or entered into on terms that are no less favorable to us than those that can be obtained from any unaffiliated third party. A majority of the independent, disinterested members of our board of directors will approve future affiliated transactions, and we will maintain at least two independent directors on our board of directors to review all material transactions with affiliates.
Our authorized capital stock consists of 40,000,000 shares of Class A Voting common stock, 25,000,000 shares of Class B Non-Voting common stock, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock. As of the date of this Offering Circular, we had 31,500,000 shares of Class A Voting common stock, 3,500,000 shares of Class B Non-Voting common stock, and no shares of preferred stock outstanding.
The following is a summary of the rights of our capital stock as provided in our articles of incorporation and bylaws. For more detailed information, please see our articles of incorporation and bylaws, which have been filed as exhibits to the offering statement of which this offering circular is a part.
Common Stock
Voting Rights. The holders of the Class A Voting common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of the shareholders. The holders of the Class B Non-Voting common stock do not have any voting rights, except as otherwise required by the Colorado Business Corporation Act.
| 16 |
Dividends. Subject to preferences that may be granted to any then outstanding preferred stock, holders of common stock are entitled to receive ratably such dividends as may be declared by the board of directors out of funds legally available therefor as well as any distributions to the shareholders. The payment of dividends on the common stock will be a business decision to be made by our board of directors from time to time based upon results of our operations and our financial condition and any other factors that our board of directors considers relevant. Payment of dividends on the common stock may be restricted by loan agreements, indentures and other transactions entered into by us from time to time.
Liquidation Rights. In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, holders of common stock are entitled to share ratably in all of our assets remaining after payment of liabilities and the liquidation preference of any then outstanding shares of preferred stock.
Absence of Other Rights or Assessments. Holders of common stock have no preferential, preemptive, conversion or exchange rights. There are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the common stock. When issued in accordance with our articles of incorporation and applicable law, shares of our common stock are fully paid and not liable to further calls or assessment by us.
Preferred Stock
Our board of directors is authorized by our articles of incorporation to establish classes or series of preferred stock and fix the designation, powers, preferences and rights of the shares of each such class or series and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof without any further vote or action by our shareholders. Any shares of preferred stock so issued would likely have priority over our common stock with respect to dividend or liquidation rights. Any future issuance of preferred stock may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in our control without further action by our shareholders and may adversely affect the voting and other rights of the holders of our common stock. At present we have no plans to issue any additional shares of preferred stock or to adopt any new series, preferences or other classification of preferred stock.
The issuance of shares of preferred stock, or the issuance of rights to purchase such shares, could be used to discourage an unsolicited acquisition proposal. For instance, the issuance of a series of preferred stock might impede a business combination by including class voting rights that would enable a holder to block such a transaction. In addition, under certain circumstances, the issuance of preferred stock could adversely affect the voting power of holders of our common stock. Although our board of directors is required to make any determination to issue preferred stock based on its judgment as to the best interests of our shareholders, our board could act in a manner that would discourage an acquisition attempt or other transaction that some, or a majority, of our shareholders might believe to be in their best interests or in which such shareholders might receive a premium for their stock over the then market price of such stock. Our board presently does not intend to seek shareholder approval prior to the issuance of currently authorized stock, unless otherwise required by law.
Certain Anti-takeover Effects
All of the shares of Class A Voting common stock are held by the co-founders of the Company. Accordingly, this may have an anti-takeover effect and may delay or prevent a tender offer or other acquisition transaction that a shareholder might consider to be in his or her best interest. The co-founders also comprise two of the four members of the Company’s Board of Directors. The co-founders thus have the power to take virtually any action affecting the Company.
Transfer Agent and Registrar
KoreTransfer Integral Transfer Agency, 635 16th Street, Niagara Falls, New York 14301 is the transfer agent and registrar for our Class B Non-Voting common stock.
| 17 |
We are offering a minimum of 8,000,000 shares of Class B Non-Voting common stock and a maximum of 12,500,000 shares of Class B Non-Voting common stock on a “best efforts” basis.

Subscribers have no right to a return of their funds during the Minimum Offering Period. If this minimum offering amount has been deposited by December 31, 2021, the offering may continue until the earlier of March 31, 2022 (which date may be extended at our option) or the date when all shares have been sold.
We plan to engage Entoro Securities, LLC, which will charge as its fee 1% of the gross offering proceeds raised plus a $20,000 retainer. Entoro will post our offering on its OfferBoard, review subscription agreements for completeness, and also perform know-your-customer and anti-money laundering checks on the subscribers.

Entoro’s OfferBoard and the www.revivalai.com website will be the exclusive means by which prospective investors may subscribe in this offering.
If the minimum contingency for this offering is not satisfied or the offering is otherwise terminated, investor funds will be promptly refunded in accordance with Securities Exchange Act Rule 10b-9.
In order to subscribe to purchase the shares, a prospective investor must complete a subscription agreement and send payment by wire transfer or ACH. Investors must answer certain questions to determine compliance with the investment limitation set forth in Regulation A Rule 251(d)(2)(i)(C) under the Securities Act of 1933, which states that in offerings such as this one, where the securities will not be listed on a registered national securities exchange upon qualification, the aggregate purchase price to be paid by the investor for the securities cannot exceed 10% of the greater of the investor’s annual income or net worth. In the case of an investor who is not a natural person, revenues or net assets for the investor’s most recently completed fiscal year are used instead.
The investment limitation does not apply to accredited investors, as that term is defined in Regulation D Rule 501 under the Securities Act of 1933. An individual is an accredited investor if he/she meets one of the following criteria:
| ● | a natural person whose individual net worth, or joint net worth with the undersigned’s spouse, excluding the “net value” of his or her primary residence, at the time of this purchase exceeds $1,000,000 and having no reason to believe that net worth will not remain in excess of $1,000,000 for the foreseeable future, with “net value” for such purposes being the fair value of the residence less any mortgage indebtedness or other obligation secured by the residence, but subtracting such indebtedness or obligation only if it is a liability already considered in calculating net worth; or | |
| ● | a natural person who has individual annual income in excess of $200,000 in each of the two most recent years or joint annual income with that person’s spouse in excess of $300,000 in each of those years and who reasonably expects an income in excess of those levels in the current year. |
| 18 |
An entity other than a natural person is an accredited investor if it falls within any one of the following categories:
| ● | an employee benefit plan within the meaning of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, (i) if the decision to invest is made by a plan fiduciary which is either a bank, savings and loan association, insurance company, or registered investment adviser; (ii) if such employee benefit plan has total assets in excess of $5,000,000; or (iii) if it is a self-directed plan whose investment decisions are made solely by accredited investors; | |
| ● | a tax-exempt organization described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, a corporation, a Massachusetts or similar business trust or a partnership, which was not formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the securities offered and which has total assets in excess of $5,000,000; | |
| ● | a trust, with total assets in excess of $5,000,000, which was not formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the securities offered, whose decision to purchase such securities is directed by a “sophisticated person” as described in Rule 506(b)(2)(ii) under Regulation D; or | |
| ● | certain financial institutions such as banks and savings and loan associations, registered broker-dealers, insurance companies, and registered investment companies. |
We have agreed to pay KoreConX a monthly fee of $950 for escrow account set up, transfer agent services, and ongoing use of their shareholder management platform.
Revival employees are assisting with preparing the materials sent via email to persons who have submitted non-binding indications of interest. They also work with KoreConX in developing the programming to be used for the actual investment process. They do not have direct telephone, email exchanges or other contact with persons interested in purchasing the offered securities, except to gather additional information or clarification from persons who have subscribed to purchase securities on the www.revivalai.com website.

To the owners and management of Revival AI LLC:
Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Revival AI LLC, which comprise the balance sheet as of December 31, 2018, 2019 and June 30, 2020, and the related statement of operations, changes in owners’ equity, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2019 and for 6 months ended June 30, 2020 and the related notes to the financial statements.
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors’ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Revival AI LLC as of as of December 31, 2018, 2019 and June 30, 2020, and the related statement of operations, changes in owners’ equity, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2019 and for 6 months ended June 30, 2020 in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2018 AND 2019,
AND FOR 6 MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2020
(in US Dollars)
| 1. | ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
General Information
Revival AI LLC (“the Company”), a Colorado limited liability company, was established on January 29, 2018. The Company is developing a technology to provide print-ready Bibles through an artificial intelligence-driven, auto-customizing platform that enables user adjusted Bible design and formatting. Estimated date of completion of the platform is March 31, 2021.
Ownership of the company is presented as follows:
| Name | Position | Ownership share | ||||
| Kristin Robinson | Company manager | 50 | % | |||
| William J. Robinson III | Company manager | 50 | % | |||
| 100 | % | |||||
On August 14, 2020, the owners of the Company agreed to convert the entity from a limited liability company into a corporation under the laws of the State of Colorado and change the name to “Revival AI Inc.”. The statement of conversion was filed with the Colorado Secretary of State on August 21, 2020. As of the date of the approval of these financial statements, the conversion process is still in process.
The new structure of shareholders under a conversion plan is described in Note 4 “Subsequent Events”.
The financial statements were authorized for issue by the management of the Company on September 28, 2020.
Statement of compliance
The accompanying financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements are presented in US Dollars, unless otherwise indicated. These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
Use of estimates and assumptions
The preparation of financial statements conforms to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). Those principles require 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. Due to the inherent uncertainty in making those estimates, actual results reported in future periods could differ from such estimates.
| F-6 |
Going concern
The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months is dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations to meet its obligations and to obtain additional capital financing from its owners and/or third parties.
The Company’s management has made an assessment of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern and is satisfied that the Company has the resources to continue its operations for the foreseeable future.
On September 4, 2020, the owners of the Company have invested additional $200,000 into the equity of the entity in the form of a cash deposit to finance its operations (see Note 4 “Subsequent Events”).
Expenses recognition
Expenses are accounted for at the time the actual flow of the related goods or services occur, regardless of when cash or their equivalent are paid, and are reported in the financial statements in the period to which they relate.
Advertising Costs
Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and included in administrative expenses.
Related parties
A party is considered to be related to the Company if the party directly or indirectly or through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with the Company. Related parties also include principal owners of the Company, its management, members of the immediate families of principal owners of the Company and its management and other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests. A party which can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or if it has an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests is also a related party.
Intangible assets
An intangible asset is an identifiable non-monetary asset without physical substance. It is identifiable when it is separable, i.e. is capable of being separated or divided from the Group, or when it arises from contractual or other legal rights.
Intangible assets acquired or developed internally are initially measured at cost. The cost of an acquired intangible asset comprises its purchase price, import duties, and non-refundable purchase taxes, after deducting trade discounts and rebates, and any directly attributable cost of preparing the asset for its intended use. Subsequent expenditure on intangible assets is capitalized only if it is probable that it will increase the future economic benefits associated with the specific asset. Other expenditure is recognized in profit or loss as incurred.
After initial recognition, intangible assets are measured at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses, if any. Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, which do not exceed the contractual period, if any.
| F-7 |
Research and Development costs
Research costs are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.
Development costs comprise employee expenses, the cost of materials and services directly attributable to the projects, and an appropriate share of directly attributable fixed costs including, and where applicable, borrowing costs. The intangible assets are amortized as from the moment they are available for use, i.e. when they are in the location and condition necessary for them to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management. Development costs which do not satisfy the above conditions are recognized in profit or loss as incurred.
Impairment of intangible assets
On each balance sheet date, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where it is impossible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognized as expenses immediately.
Cash and cash equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents.
Fair value measurements
FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements” defines fair value for certain financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are recorded at fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. It requires that an entity measure its financial instruments to base fair value on exit price, maximize the use of observable units and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to determine the exit price. It establishes a hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. This hierarchy increases the consistency and comparability of fair value measurements and related disclosures by maximizing the use of observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels based on the reliability of the inputs as follows:
Level 1 – Inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date. Valuation of these instruments does not require a high degree of judgment as the valuations are based on quoted prices in active markets that are readily and regularly available.
| F-8 |
Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable as of the measurement date, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 – Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and not corroborated by market data. The fair value for such assets and liabilities is generally determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques that incorporate the assumptions a market participant would use in pricing the asset or liability.
The carrying values of certain assets and liabilities of the Company, such as cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, inventory, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses and other current liabilities, approximate fair value due to their relatively short maturities. The carrying value of the Company’s short-term bank loan approximates their fair value as the terms of the borrowing are consistent with current market rates and the duration to maturity is short.
New accounting pronouncements
a) ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842)
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which requires lessees to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liability, initially measured at present value of the lease payments, on its balance sheet for leases with terms longer than 12 months and classified as either financing or operating leases.
The new standard is effective for the Company starting from January 1, 2020. For 6 months ended June 30, 2020 the Company did not have any lease expenses.
| 2. | INTANGIBLE ASSETS |
As of December 31, 2018, 2019 and June 30, 2020, intangible assets consisted of the following:
| December 31, 2018 | December 31, 2019 | June 30, 2020 | ||||||||||
| Software under development | - | 25,475 | 65,000 | |||||||||
| Patent | 4,046 | 4,046 | 4,046 | |||||||||
| 4,046 | 29,521 | 69,046 | ||||||||||
Software under development
Software development expenses consist of expenses incurred by the Company during the development of a platform designed to provide print-ready Bibles using artificial intelligence-driven engine that will allow users to design and format the Bible. Development of the platform is performed by Model Rocket LLC, a Nevada limited liability Company.
On October 28, 2019 the Company entered into an agreement with Model Rocket LLC. As per the agreement Model Rocket LLC agreed to provide the labor and development services at a reduced cost, estimated at 25% of the project. Furthermore, both parties agreed that total amount of payments by Revival AI LLC would not exceed $65,000. All expenses above this amount will be covered by Model Rocket LLC until final delivery of the platform.
| F-9 |
In return for this, Revival AI LLC agreed to transfer 10% of ownership of the Company to Model Rocket LLC contingent on completion of the final product. 10% ownership will be represented by shares of Class B non-voting common stock of Revival AI LLC after the conversion of the company from a limited liability company to a corporation.
Patent
The Company owns a patent titled “Methods and systems for on-demand publishing of religious works”. The patent application was filed on September 16, 2016 and was given U.S. Application No. 15/129,637. This patent was transferred to the Company from Narrow Gate Publishing LLC, an entity owned by the founders of Revival AI LLC, in June 2018. All legal expenses related to the transfer and registration of the patent in the amount $4,046 were capitalized to intangible assets of the Company. Depreciation of the patent will start after the completion of the platform.
Using the patented, custom Bible interface, readers will be able to choose a translation, paragraph or line-by-line layout, double or single column, interlinear format, text font and size, study notes, cross-references, devotional tools, creeds, additional note pages, and add a personalized blessing.

Re: Engagement Reg A Placement Agent Agreement

Placement Agent’s engagement with these service providers will permit Placement Agent to rely on these reports.
(g) The Issuer will use its reasonable best efforts, in cooperation with the Placement Agent, to qualify the Securities for offering and sale under the applicable securities laws of such states and foreign jurisdictions as the Placement Agent may designate and maintain such qualifications in effect so long as required to complete the placement of the Securities; provided, however, that the Issuer shall not be obligated to file any general consent to service of process or to qualify as a foreign corporation or as a dealer in securities in any jurisdiction in which it is not so qualified or to subject itself to taxation in respect of doing business in any jurisdiction in which it is not otherwise so subject. To the extent the Placement Agent prepares and files any documentation necessary to qualify and maintain the qualification of the offer and sale of the Securities under the laws of any state or foreign jurisdiction, the Issuer shall deliver to the Placement Agent in advance of any such filing the applicable state filing fees and will reimburse the Placement Agent for its reasonable costs and expenses in making any such filings.
(h) Issuer may request that Placement Agent, at its discretion, post the Offering on OfferBoard®, or any affiliate, an online deal marketing, investor outreach and technology platform operated by the Placement Agent’s subsidiary OfferBoard, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“OfferBoard”).

Regardless of whether the Offering is posted on OfferBoard, the Issuer understands and agrees that certain aspects of the Offering may be conducted through OfferBoard’s technology platform or facilities. To the extent necessary, the Issuer consents to the posting of information concerning the Offering on OfferBoard, including but not limited to the posting of due diligence materials on OfferBoard’s on-line virtual data room (“VDR”), subject to the confidentiality undertakings and agreements referenced in Sections 7 and Exhibit C of this Agreement. All information concerning the Issuer posted on OfferBoard’s VDR shall be considered Offering Materials and/or Authorized Sales Materials. There is a listing fee associated with the use of OfferBoard and registration/set-up fee to establish the VDR, which shall be paid by Issuer as set forth in Exhibit D, before the set-up of the VDR for an Offering.
(i) All fees and any other amounts payable hereunder are payable in U.S. dollars, free and clear of any United States or foreign withholding taxes or deductions and shall be payable to the account designated by Placement Agent under “Bank Information” in Exhibit B of this Agreement. No later than thirty (30) days following expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement, Placement Agent shall submit to Issuer a final invoice that sets forth the total of all Fees and reimbursable expenses (and any past-due payments) owed to Placement Agent under this Agreement, and payment of all such amounts shall be made by the Issuer to Placement Agent no later than thirty (30) days following the date of such final invoice. Any late payments of such fees and expenses shall bear interest at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum. The Issuer’s obligations pursuant to this section shall survive expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement.
| 6 Entoro Reg A Placement Agent Agreement |
3. Term of Engagement; Relationship of Parties.

Moreover, upon a material default by the either Party, this Agreement may be terminated immediately upon written notice by the non-breaching Party. Upon any such termination, any fees, and expenses due to Placement Agent shall be remitted to Placement Agent promptly (including fees and expenses accrued before, but invoiced after, such termination).
(b) Upon termination, Placement Agent will be entitled to collect all fees, if any, earned through the date of termination, and the Issuer will pay or reimburse Placement Agent for its out-of-pocket expenses, subject to Section 2(b) hereof. The Issuer agrees that: (a) any termination or completion of Placement Agent’s engagement hereunder shall not affect the Issuer’s obligation to indemnify Placement Agent, the Soliciting Dealers and the affiliates of Placement Agent and the Soliciting Dealers as provided for herein, (b) any termination of Placement Agent’s engagement hereunder shall not affect the Issuer’s obligation to pay fees as provided for in Section 3(b) hereof; and (c) any termination of Placement Agent’s engagement hereunder shall not affect the Issuer’s obligation to pay fees and reimburse the expenses accruing prior to such termination as provided for herein.
(c) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to place Placement Agent and the Issuer in the relationship of partners or joint ventures. Neither Placement Agent nor the Issuer shall represent itself as the agent or legal representative of the other for any purpose whatsoever nor shall either have the power to obligate or bind the other in any manner whatsoever. The Issuer’s engagement of Placement Agent is not intended to confer rights upon any person not a party hereto (including shareholders, directors, officers, employees or creditors of the Issuer) as against Placement Agent or its affiliates, or their respective directors, officers, employees or agents, successors or assigns. Placement Agent, in performing its services hereunder, shall at all times be an independent contractor. No promises or representations have been made, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, and the parties have not relied on any promises or representations except as expressly set forth in this Agreement. Nothing contained herein should be construed as creating any fiduciary duties between the Issuer and Placement Agent.
4. Right of First Offer. The Issuer agrees that if, but only if, the Offering is successfully consummated, it shall provide Placement Agent the right of first refusal for six (6) months from the date of the consummation of the Offering to act as Placement Agent or to act as joint Placement Agent on at least equal economic terms on any public or private equity financing (collectively, “Future Services”). If the Issuer notifies Placement Agent of its intention to pursue an activity that would enable Placement Agent to exercise its right of first refusal to provide Future Services, Placement Agent shall notify the Issuer of its election to provide such Future Services, including notification of the compensation and other terms to which Placement Agent claims to be entitled, within thirty (30) days of written notice by the Issuer. In the event the Issuer engages Placement Agent to provide such Future Services, Placement Agent will be compensated on a basis to be mutually agreed upon. For the avoidance of doubt, this right of first refusal shall not apply to any transaction in which the Issuer does not engage a placement agent, broker-dealer of record, finder or similar entity.

The Offering Statement (including the Offering Circular therein), and all amendments and supplements thereto, will be in form satisfactory to Placement Agent and counsel to Placement Agent and will contain such interim and other financial statements and schedules as may be required by the Securities Act and rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder. Placement Agent and its counsel shall be given the opportunity to make such review and investigation in connection with the Offering Statement and the Issuer as they deem desirable. Placement Agent and the Issuer shall mutually agree on the use of proceeds of the Offering, which shall be described in detail within the Offering Circular, it being further understood and agreed that, except as may expressly approved by Placement Agent, no proceeds from the Offering will be used to pay outstanding loans owed by the Issuer to any Issuer officers, directors or stockholders or to redeem any securities of the Issuer.
(b) The Offering Statement will include this Agreement as an exhibit to the Offering Statement.

(d) You hereby authorize Placement Agent to transmit to the prospective Investors the Offering Circular and Authorized Sales Materials. The Issuer will advise Placement Agent immediately of the occurrence of any event or any other change known to the Issuer which results in the Offering Statement, including the Offering Circular, or the Authorized Sales Materials containing an untrue statement of a material fact or omitting to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein or previously made, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
(e) The Issuer further agrees that Placement Agent may rely upon, and shall be a third-party beneficiary of, the representations and warranties and applicable covenants and agreements made to the investors in connection with the Offering. In addition, immediately prior to the initial and any subsequent Closing of the Offering, the Issuer shall execute and deliver to Placement Agent a representation letter in the style of Exhibit E of this Agreement (the “Representation Letter”) pursuant to which it will make representations and warranties to Placement Agent of the type that are customarily found in placement agency and underwriting agreements for offerings like the Offering. Such Representation Letter and the representations made therein are incorporated into this Agreement by reference as if set forth in full herein.
6. Conditions to Initial Closing the Offering. The Offering shall be conditioned upon, among other things, the following:

(e) The Issuer maintaining a PCAOB registered firm of independent certified public accountants acceptable to Placement Agent and the Issuer, including, without limitation, the Issuer’s existing auditor (which Placement Agent agrees is acceptable), which will have responsibility for the preparation of the financial statements and the financial exhibits to be included in the Offering Statement, it being agreed that the Issuer will continue to engage a PCAOB registered accounting firm of comparable quality (as may be determined by the Issuer’s audit committee or board of directors) for a period of at least three years after the Closing so long as the Issuer is required to file reports with the SEC during such period;
(f) The Issuer maintaining a transfer agent for the Issuer’s Securities reasonably acceptable to Placement Agent and continuing to retain such transfer agent for a period of two (2) years after the Closing;

These provisions will apply regardless of whether the Offering is consummated.
8. Governing Law; Venue. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas applicable to contracts executed and to be wholly performed therein without giving effect to its conflicts of laws principles or rules. The Issuer and Placement Agent agree that any dispute concerning this Agreement shall be resolved exclusively through binding arbitration before FINRA pursuant to its arbitration rules. Arbitration will be venued in Harris County or Houston, Texas USA (the “Agreed Forum”). Each of the Issuer and Placement Agent agree that the Agreed Forum is not an “inconvenient forum” for proceedings hereunder, and each hereby agree to the personal jurisdiction of the Agreed Forum and that service of process by mail to the address for such party as set forth in this letter (or such other address as a party hereto shall notify the other in writing) constitute full and valid service for such proceedings.
9. Limitation on Liability. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Issuer agrees that neither Placement Agent nor its affiliates, and the respective officers, directors, employees, agents, and representatives of Placement Agent, its affiliates and each other person, if any, controlling Placement Agent or any of its affiliates, shall have any liability (whether direct or indirect, in contract or tort or otherwise) to the Issuer for or in connection with the engagement and transaction described herein in an amount excess of the actual fees paid to Placement Agent hereunder.
10. Announcement of Offering. If the Offering is consummated, Placement Agent may, at its own expense, place a customary announcement in such newspapers and periodicals as Placement Agent may desire announcing the Closing of the Offering, the name of the Issuer, the securities issued and the gross proceeds of the Offering. The parties agree that any such announcement will be subject to approval by the Issuer prior to dissemination by Placement Agent and that such approval will not be unreasonably withheld.

The Issuer acknowledges and agrees that it does not claim any proprietary interest in the identity of any other entity in its industry or otherwise, and that the identity of any such entity is not confidential information under Exhibit C of this Placement Agent Agreement.

SECTION 1. Indemnification.
| A. | Indemnification of Placement Agent. |
The Issuer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Placement Agent, its affiliates (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) (each, an “Affiliate”)), including any and all Soliciting Dealers, partners, officers and directors, and each person, if any, who controls the Placement Agent within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act (Placement Agent and each such person being an “Indemnified Party”), as follows:
| (a) | against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, arising out of (A) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact included in the Offering Statement, Offering Circular, Authorized Sales Materials, the Representation Letter or any information forming the basis for content in any of the aforementioned; or the omission or alleged omission in the Offering Statement, Offering Circular, Authorized Sales Materials, the Representation Letter or any information forming the basis for content in any of the aforementioned, of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; or (B) the breach or alleged breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of the Issuer under this Agreement; | |
| (b) | against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, to the extent of the aggregate amount paid in settlement of any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental entity, commenced or threatened, or of any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission by the Issuer; provided that (subject to Section 1, B. of Exhibit A, below) any such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Issuer; and | |
| (c) | against any and all expense whatsoever, as incurred (including the fees and disbursements of counsel chosen by the Placement Agent reasonably incurred) in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental entity, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever, commenced or threatened, based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission, to the extent that any such expense is not paid under (i) or (ii) above, |
| B. | Settlement |
| (a) | The Issuer will not, without the prior written consent of Placement Agent, settle any litigation relating to Placement Agent’s engagement hereunder unless such settlement includes an express, complete, and unconditional release of Placement Agent and Indemnified Parties with respect to all claims asserted in such litigation or relating to Placement Agent’s engagement hereunder; such release to be set forth in an instrument signed by all parties to such settlement. |
| 11 Entoro Reg A Placement Agent Agreement |
| (b) | If at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel, such indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of the nature contemplated by Section 1.A. of Exhibit A effected without its written consent if |
| 1) | such settlement is entered into more than 45 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request, | |
| 2) | such indemnifying party shall have received notice of the terms of such settlement at least 30 days before such settlement being entered into and | |
| 3) | such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed such indemnified party in accordance with such request (other than those fees and expenses that are being contested in good faith) before the date of such settlement. |
| C. | Limitations |
Issuer will not be liable to Placement Agent or Indemnified Parties to the extent that any loss, claim, damage or liability is found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from Placement Agent or Indemnified Party’s willful misconduct or gross negligence. Issuer also agrees that Placement Agent and Indemnified Parties shall not have any liability (whether direct or indirect, in contract or tort or otherwise) to Issuer or its security holders or creditors related to or arising out of the engagement of Placement Agent pursuant to, or the performance by Placement Agent or Indemnified Parties of the services contemplated by, this Agreement except to the extent that any loss, claim, damage or liability is found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from Placement Agent’s or Indemnified Parties’ willful misconduct or gross negligence.
SECTION 2. Contribution
| A. | If the indemnification provided for in Section 6 hereof is for any reason unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the aggregate amount of such losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by such indemnified party, as incurred, (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Issuer on the one hand, and the Placement Agent, on the other hand, from the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Issuer, on the one hand, and the Placement Agent, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. |
(a) The relative benefits received by the Issuer, on the one hand, and the Placement Agent, on the other hand, in connection with the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the total net proceeds from the Offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Issuer, on the one hand, and the total placement fees received by the Placement Agent, on the other hand, bear to the aggregate initial aggregate offering price of the Securities.
| 12 Entoro Reg A Placement Agent Agreement |
(b) The relative fault of the Issuer, on the one hand, and the Placement Agent, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any such untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Issuer or by the Placement Agent, as the case may be, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.
(c) The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 2 of Exhibit A were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this Section 2 of Exhibit A. The aggregate amount of losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by an indemnified party and referred to above in this Section 2 of Exhibit A shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental entity, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.
(d) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 2 of Exhibit A, the Placement Agent shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the placement fees set forth in Section 2(a) of the Engagement Agreement received by it in connection with the placement of the Securities by it as agent.
(e) No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 1 1(f) of the 1933 Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
(f) For purposes of this Section 2 of Exhibit A, each person, if any, (i) who controls the Placement Agent within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act and the Placement Agent’s Affiliates, selling agents, partners, officers and directors shall have the same rights to contribution as the Placement Agent, and (ii) who controls the Issuer within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act and the Issuer’s Affiliates, directors, officers, employees and subsidiaries shall have the same rights to contribution as the Issuer.

A second non-refundable, cash payment of $10,000 shall be earned on execution of this Agreement, but payable to Entoro on first Closing, senior in priority to any disbursements to Issuer. The second $10,000 shall be considered a second installment payment of the Initial Setup Fee, and not as part of—or intermingled with—the Offering Success Fee described below in Section C of this Exhibit. No portion of the Initial Setup Fee is contingent on raising of funds, and shall be payable regardless of success of the fundraising discussed in the Agreement to which this Exhibit is attached.

If applicable, the Parties agree to work in good faith to finalize a separate Warrant or Option Agreement within 30 days of signature of this agreement through a side letter or agreement. Parties will work to set objectives and metrics based on an appropriate valuation of such warrants, options or equivalent. |
| E. | Due Dates – The Offering Success Fee is due and payable to Placement Agent at or before the Closing of any Offering (or before each Closing, if more than one). The second $10,000 portion of the Initial Setup Fee is due and payable to Placement Agent at or before the Initial Closing of the Offering or, barring an Initial Closing, on Termination of the Agreement to which this Exhibit is attached. |
If the Issuer fails to pay any fee due hereunder (including Initial Setup, Monthly or Offering Success Fees) within five days of after the date which such fees are due, Placement Agent may at its sole discretion deem such failure to pay as a material breach of this Agreement and elect to terminate the Agreement pursuant to Section 3(a) above. Any cash fee or payment due but unpaid hereunder shall bear interest, from the date due until paid in full, at the greater of (i) 12.0% per annum, or (ii) maximum interest rate allowed by applicable law. Any non-cash fee due but unpaid hereunder (including but not limited to any Digital Securities allocation or fee) shall increase by 12.0% per annum or by the greatest amount permitted by applicable law from the date due until allocated or paid in full.

In connection with the activities of Placement Agent on behalf of the Issuer as set forth in the engagement agreement to which this Exhibit is attached (the “Agreement”), the Issuer will furnish Placement Agent with all financial and other information regarding the Issuer that Placement Agent reasonably believes appropriate to its engagement (all such information so furnished by the Issuer, whether furnished before or after the date of this Agreement, being referred to, collectively with the Placement Materials, as the “Confidential Information”).

The term “Confidential Information” does not include information which (i) is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of an unauthorized disclosure thereof by Placement Agent or any Investor; (ii) was available on a non-confidential basis prior to its disclosure; or (iii) becomes available on a non-confidential basis from a third party source who is not known to be under a confidentiality obligation.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Placement Agent, as a FINRA Member Firm, shall be permitted to retain one copy of any Confidential Information provided hereunder to the extent required by its compliance procedures and may disclose such Confidential Information to representatives of FINRA or the SEC, to the extent required by applicable rules and regulations of such regulatory bodies, without prior notice to the Issuer.
Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to limit the ability of Placement Agent or its respective affiliates to pursue, investigate, analyze, invest in, or engage in investment banking, financial advisory or any other business relationship with entities other than the Issuer, notwithstanding that such entities may be engaged in a business which is similar to or competitive with the business of the Issuer, and notwithstanding that such entities may have actual or potential operations, products, services, plans, ideas, customers or supplies similar or identical to the Issuer’s, or may have been identified by the Issuer as potential merger or acquisition targets or potential candidates for some other business combination, cooperation or relationship. The Issuer expressly acknowledges and agrees that it does not claim any proprietary interest in the identity of any other entity in its industry or otherwise, and that the identity of any such entity is not Confidential Information for purposes hereof.
