Up to 2,000,000 Shares of Common Stock, plus up to 399,800 Bonus Shares

  

Aggregate Offering Amount: $24,698,000

 

Lion Power Systems (NV), Inc., a Nevada corporation (“we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”), is conducting a Regulation A Tier 2 offering (this “Offering”) of shares, par value $0.0001 per share, of our Common Stock (each, a “Share”), subject to the conditions set forth in “Securities Being Offered.” The Company is offering up to 2,000,000 Shares that we are offering for sale to investors, at a fixed cash price of $10 per Share (the “Offering Price”), plus up to 399,800 Shares eligible to be received as bonus shares (“Bonus Shares”) to investors based on their investment level, as described below. Investors receiving Bonus Shares will effectively receive a discount to the Offering Price, and no additional consideration will be received by us for the issuance of the Bonus Shares. The aggregate offering amount set forth above on this cover page reflects an assigned value of $10 for each Bonus Share. If eligible for Bonus Shares, investors will receive the greater amount of Bonus Shares for which they are eligible and are not cumulative, even if investors would qualify for multiple eligibility categories for receipt of Bonus Shares. The Company will absorb all costs of the Bonus Shares’ issuance. See “Plan of Distribution” for further details.

 

No investor will be entitled to a fractional Share. If the purchase price paid, divided by the Offering Price, results in a number of Shares that is not a whole number, the number of Shares to which the investor is entitled will be rounded down to the nearest whole number.

 

Investors will be required to pay an investor processing fee of 3.50% of their investment amount (excluding Bonus Shares, and such fee, the “Investor Processing Fee”) to the Company at the time of their subscription to help offset the Company’s costs in connection with the Offering. Therefore, the price per Share plus the Investor Processing Fee which each investor is paying to the Company is effectively $10.35. This Investor Processing Fee is included in the amount to be raised in the Offering. See “Plan of Distribution” for more detail.

This Offering is not conditioned on the sale of any minimum number of Shares. The Company has engaged DealMaker Securities LLC (the “Broker” or “DealMaker”), a broker-dealer registered with the Commission and admitted to membership in the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) and the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (“SIPC”), as broker-dealer of record, and to perform broker-dealer administrative and compliance related functions in connection with the Offering. Once the Commission has qualified the offering statement (the “Offering Statement”) related to this offering circular (this “Offering Circular”), and this Offering commences, the Broker will receive a cash commission (the “Brokerage Commission”) equal to six and a half percent (6.5%) of the cash amount raised in this Offering. Additionally, the Broker and its affiliates will receive certain other fees, estimated to total $435,000. The maximum compensation to be paid to the Broker and its affiliates is $1,780,500 (approximately 8.60% of the aggregate gross Offering proceeds). See “Plan of Distribution” for more details. No Company officer or director who introduces friends, family members and business acquaintances to any selling agent in this Offering will receive commissions or any other remuneration from any such sales.

 

Investors should be advised that even if this Offering is fully subscribed, as of immediately after this Offering, investors in this Offering in the aggregate will hold less than 0.01% of the voting power in the Company. Following the Offering, assuming full subscriptions in the Shares, the Company will be controlled by its directors and executive officers. There will be no singular post-Offering controlling shareholder (in terms of voting power). The directors and executive officers will hold approximately 57.78% of the voting power in the Company post-Offering.

 

If the Company rejects any subscriptions in the Offering, the associated sale proceeds will be returned to the related investors, without interest. Otherwise, because the Offering is not conditioned on the sale of any minimum number of Shares, proceeds from the sale of Shares will be retained by the Company.

 

THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION (THE “COMMISSION” OR “SEC”) DOES NOT PASS UPON THE MERITS OF OR GIVE ITS APPROVAL TO ANY SECURITIES OFFERED OR THE TERMS OF THIS OFFERING, NOR DOES IT PASS UPON THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF ANY OFFERING CIRCULAR OR OTHER SOLICITATION MATERIALS. THESE SECURITIES ARE OFFERED PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION WITH THE COMMISSION; HOWEVER, THE COMMISSION HAS NOT MADE AN INDEPENDENT DETERMINATION THAT THE SECURITIES OFFERED ARE EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION.

(1) The Shares are being offered in the Cash Offering on a “best efforts” basis through the Broker, with which the Company is a party to a Broker-Dealer Agreement (“Broker-Dealer Agreement”). For performing broker-dealer pre-offering analysis, pre-offering consulting and advisory, compliance and consulting services in connection with this Offering, the Broker will receive the Brokerage Commission. There are other fees associated with the Broker and its affiliates, which are not included in this table. When the Company signed the Broker-Dealer Agreement, the Broker was to receive one-time payment of $25,000 advance against accountable expenses anticipated to be incurred in the Cash Offering (refundable to the Company to the extent of expenses not actually incurred by the Broker). The proceeds of the Cash Offering may be deposited directly into the Company’s operating account for its immediate use, with no obligation to refund subscriptions. No escrow has been or will be established for this Offering. We may be required to indemnify the Broker and possibly other parties with respect to disclosures made in this Offering Circular. We reserve the right, in connection with this Offering, to enter into posting agreements with equity crowdfunding firms not associated with FINRA member firms, for which we may pay non-contingent fees as compensation. See “Plan of Distribution” for details regarding the compensation payable to third-parties in connection with this Offering.

(2) The amounts shown in “Proceeds to the Company” section below reflect amounts after deducting Offering expenses. Offering expenses do not include: (a) payments to Novation Solutions Inc. (“Novation Solutions”), DealMaker Reach, LLC (“Reach”), both affiliates of the Broker, including monthly maintenance and marketing advisory fees (b) legal, accounting, printing, and blue sky compliance fees and expenses incurred in this Offering. The Company estimates that it will pay $410,000 in fees for (i) marketing and advisory services from Reach and (ii) technology services from Novation Solutions, which fees are separate from the Brokerage Commission described above. See “Use of Proceeds” and “Plan of Distribution” for more details.

(3) Does not include any applicable effective per Share discount which would result from the issuance of Bonus Shares. For details of the effective discounts under different scenarios, see “Plan of Distribution” in this Offering Circular.
(4) We may issue up to 399,800 Bonus Shares for no additional consideration, assuming that 100% of investors achieve the highest level of Bonus Shares issued. For more information on the Bonus Shares, see “Plan of Distribution.” Assuming this Offering is fully subscribed and the maximum number of Bonus Shares are issued, the effective purchase price of Share would be $8.33 per Share.
(5)

At the time of each subscription, the investor will be required to pay the Company a 3.50% Investor Processing Fee to help offset certain transaction expenses for which the Company is required to pay or reimburse affiliates of the Broker. In the table above, the figures for “Price Per Share Plus Investor Processing Fee” and the “Total Maximum (with Transaction Fees)” assume all investors in the aggregate, in an Offering that is fully subscribed (excluding Bonus Shares), pay the Company a total of $700,000 in Investor Processing Fees. The Broker will receive a cash commission on Investor Processing Fees. See “Plan of Distribution” for more details.

(6)This total maximum reflects an assigned value of $10 per Bonus Share. Since the Company will not receive any additional consideration for its issuance of Bonus Shares, assuming a fully subscribed offering, the Company’s total gross proceeds will be $20,700,000. See “Use of Proceeds” for more details. The Broker has not been engaged to assist in the distribution of the Bonus Shares, and will not receive any compensation related to the Bonus Shares.

 

NEITHER THE OFFERING AND SALE OF THE SHARES IN THE OFFERING HAVE BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF CERTAIN STATES. THE SHARES ARE BEING OFFERED (AND, IN THE OFFERING, SOLD) IN RELIANCE ON EXEMPTIONS FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND SUCH STATE LAWS. THE SHARES MAY BE SUBJECT IN VARIOUS STATES TO RESTRICTION ON TRANSFERABILITY AND RESALE AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED OR RESOLD EXCEPT AS PERMITTED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND SUCH STATE LAWS PURSUANT TO REGISTRATION OR EXEMPTION THEREFROM. THE SHARES HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE COMMISSION, ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION OR OTHER REGULATORY AUTHORITY, NOR HAVE ANY OF THE FOREGOING AUTHORITIES PASSED UPON OR ENDORSED THE MERITS OF THIS OFFERING OR THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THE OFFERING CIRCULAR. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS UNLAWFUL.

 

As of the date of this Offering Circular, no public market exists for the Shares, and no such public market may ever develop. If it does, it may not be sustained. As of the date of this Offering Circular, the Shares are not traded on any exchange or on the over-the-counter market, and we can provide no assurance that they will ever be quoted on a stock exchange or a quotation service. We anticipate that proceeds from this Offering will be employed as outlined in “Use of Proceeds” and “Description of Business.” For more information on the Shares, see “Securities Being Offered.”

 

These are speculative securities. Investing in them involves significant risks. You should invest in them only if you can afford a complete loss of your investment. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 6.

Implications of being an Emerging Growth Company

 

As an issuer with less than $1.235 billion in total gross revenues during our last fiscal year, we will qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). This qualification will be significant if and when we become subject to the ongoing reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). An emerging growth company may take advantage of certain reduced reporting requirements and is relieved of certain other significant requirements that are otherwise generally applicable to public companies. In particular, as an emerging growth company, we:

 

  will not be required to obtain an auditor attestation on our internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002;
     
  will not be required to provide a detailed narrative disclosure discussing our compensation principles, objectives and elements analyzing how these elements compare with our principles and objectives (commonly referred to as “compensation discussion and analysis”);
     
  will not be required to obtain a non-binding advisory vote from our stockholders on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements;
     
  will be exempt from certain executive compensation disclosure provisions requiring a pay for performance graph and CEO pay ratio disclosure; and
     
  may present only two years of financial statements and only two years of related management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations (or MD&A) disclosure.

 

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

 

Under the JOBS Act, we may take advantage of the above-described reduced reporting requirements and exemptions for up to five years after our initial sale of common equity pursuant to a registration statement declared effective under the Securities Act or until such earlier time, if any, as we no longer meet the definition of an emerging growth company. We would no longer be an emerging growth company if our revenues exceeded $1.235 billion; if we issued more than $1.0 billion in nonconvertible debt in a three-year period; or if the Company qualified as a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act.

 

We do not intend to register a class of securities under Section 12 of the Exchange Act.

 

THIS OFFERING CIRCULAR MAY NOT BE REPRODUCED IN WHOLE OR IN PART, AND ITS USE FOR ANY PURPOSE OTHER THAN AN INVESTMENT IN THE SECURITIES IS NOT AUTHORIZED AND IS PROHIBITED.

 

THIS OFFERING IS SUBJECT TO WITHDRAWAL OR CANCELLATION BY THE COMPANY AT ANY TIME AND WITHOUT NOTICE. THE COMPANY RESERVES THE RIGHT IN ITS SOLE DISCRETION TO REJECT ANY SUBSCRIPTION IN WHOLE OR IN PART NOTWITHSTANDING TENDER OF PAYMENT OR TO ALLOT TO ANY PROSPECTIVE INVESTOR LESS THAN THE NUMBER OF SECURITIES SUBSCRIBED FOR BY SUCH INVESTOR.

 

THE OFFERING PRICE OF THE SHARES BEING OFFERED FOR SALE HAS BEEN DETERMINED BY THE COMPANY AND DOES NOT NECESSARILY BEAR ANY SPECIFIC RELATION TO THE ASSETS, BOOK VALUE OR POTENTIAL EARNINGS OF THE COMPANY OR ANY OTHER RECOGNIZED CRITERIA OF VALUE.

SUMMARY OF OFFERING

 

This Summary of Offering highlights information contained elsewhere in this Offering Circular and does not contain all of the information you should consider before investing in the Shares. Before making an investment decision, you should read the entire Offering Circular carefully, including the “Risk Factors” section, the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section, the financial statements and the notes to the financial statements. An investment in the Shares presents substantial risks and you could lose all or substantially all of your investment. Furthermore, although the Company is offering the Shares pursuant to the Securities Act registration exemption afforded by Regulation A, the Company cannot guarantee that this Offering will not later be determined to require registration under the Securities Act and state securities laws.

 

Lion Power Systems (NV), Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) was incorporated in Nevada under the name Lion Power Systems, Inc. on April 13, 2023. On December 19, 2023, we changed our name to Lion Power Systems (NV), Inc.

 

The Company is hereby offering, for sale, on a “best efforts” basis, up to 2,399,800 Shares in the Offering, including (i) up to 2,000,000 Shares and (ii) up to 399,800 Bonus Shares, in each case depending on and determined on the basis of a given investor’s investment level. The Company will not receive any additional consideration for its issuance of Bonus Shares, and will absorb all costs of issuing the Bonus Shares. Investors who are eligible to receive Bonus Shares will effectively be receiving a discount to the Offering price. The aggregate Offering amount is $24,698,000. This amount includes the Investor Processing Fee, and reflects an assumed value of $10 per Bonus Share. Since the Company will not receive any additional consideration for its issuance of Bonus Shares, assuming a fully subscribed offering, the Company’s total gross proceeds will be $20,700,000. The Company may use the collected Investor Processing Fee in order to pay for Offering expenses.

 

As of the date of this Offering Circular, the Company’s securities have no public market, and no such public market may ever develop. An investment in the Shares involves a high degree of risk. You should purchase Shares only if you can afford to lose your entire investment. (See “Risk Factors,” beginning on page 6 of this Offering Circular.)

 

Offers and sales of the Shares in the Offering will commence within two calendar days after the Qualification Date. The Company will offer the Shares for sale in the Offering on a continuous basis, pursuant to Rule 251(d)(3)(i)(F) of Regulation A, until the earliest of (i) the 180th day after the Qualification Date (though we may, in our sole discretion, extend this Offering one or more times), (ii) the date as of which all Shares offered by this Offering Circular in the Offering have been sold and (iii) any such earlier time as we may determine in our sole discretion, regardless of the number of Shares sold, and the amount of capital raised, in the Offering. The period during which the Company is offering Shares for sale is referred to in this Offering Circular as the “Offering Period.” During the Offering Period, unless the terms of this Offering are revised, the Company is offering for sale to investors in the Offering, at $10 per Share (plus the Investor Processing Fee) and assuming up 2,399,800 Shares sold, which would result in aggregate Offering Price of $24,698,000. (See “Plan of Distribution”). This aggregate Offering Price also reflects an assigned value of $10 for each Bonus Share. Unless the Offering Period is terminated earlier in accordance with the second sentence of this paragraph, this Offering will end on the date on which the Company has accepted subscriptions for 2,000,000 Shares. During the Offering Period (as it may be extended), investor funds, excluding any interest, will be promptly returned if subscriptions are rejected.

 

Tier 2 Reporting Requirements

 

As the Company is conducting the Offering pursuant to Regulation A Tier 2, the Company will be required to file annual, semiannual, and current reports with the Commission on an ongoing basis after the Offering Statement’s qualification.

RISK FACTORS

 

Investing in the Shares involves a high degree of risk and many uncertainties. You should carefully consider the risks described below along with all of the other information contained in this Offering Circular, including our financial statements and the related notes, before deciding whether to purchase the Shares. If any of the adverse events described in the following risk factors, as well as other factors which are beyond our control, actually occur, our business, results of operations and financial condition may suffer significantly. 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 associated with the Company and its business model.

  

We are still in a pre-revenue stage of development and have no operating history.

 

We are currently in a pre-revenue stage of business development and have no operating history upon which investors can rely on to evaluate our performance. Many factors could impact our ability to scale product sales and generate revenue, including, without limitation, the public’s acceptance of our products, critical reviews, competing products on the market, the availability of distribution channels for our products, general economic conditions, and other tangible and intangible factors. Investors should understand that an investment in a start-up business is significantly riskier than an investment in a business with any significant operating history. There can be no assurance that we will ever achieve revenues or profitability. Our operations are subject to all of the risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise. The likelihood of our success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and delays frequently encountered in connection with the formation of a pre-revenue business. Our lack of a significant and relevant operating history makes it difficult to manage operations and predict future operating results. If we fall short of achieving economic success through the sale of its products, our financial performance will be adversely affected, perhaps materially, as would the potential value of the Shares.

 

We will manufacture and market lithium-based battery systems. If a viable substitute product or chemistry to lithium-based battery systems emerges and gains market acceptance, our business, financial condition and results of operations will be materially and adversely affected. Furthermore, our failure to keep up with rapid technological changes and evolving industry standards within the lithium-based battery market may cause our products to become obsolete and less marketable and adversely affect our financial performance.

 

We will manufacture and market lithium-based battery systems. Some companies in the battery market may be researching and developing alternative battery technologies, such as fuel cells and supercapacitors, and academic studies are ongoing as to the viability of sulfur and aluminum-based battery technologies. If any viable substitute products emerge and gain market acceptance because they have more enhanced features, more power, more attractive pricing or better reliability, the market demand for our products may decrease, and accordingly our business, financial condition and results of operations would be materially and adversely affected.

 

Furthermore, the lithium-based battery market is characterized by rapid technological changes and evolving industry standards, which are difficult to predict. This, coupled with the frequent introduction of new products and models, has shortened product life cycles and may render our products obsolete or less marketable. For example, research on the electrochemical applications of carbon nanotechnology and other storage technologies is developing at a rapid pace, and many private and public companies and research institutions are actively engaged in the development of new battery technologies based on carbon nanotubes, nanostructured carbon materials and other non-carbon materials. If we fail to adopt these new technologies, such technologies may, if successfully developed by our competitors, offer significant performance or price advantages compared with our technologies and our technology leadership and competitive strengths may be adversely affected.

 

Our ability to adapt to evolving industry standards and anticipate future standards will be a significant factor in maintaining and improving our competitive position and our prospects for growth. However, our efforts may not lead to more marketable products. On the other hand, our competitors may improve their technologies or even achieve technological breakthroughs either as alternatives to lithium-based battery systems or improvements on existing lithium-based battery systems that would render our products obsolete or less marketable. Developments in alternative technologies, such as hydrogen, adversely affect demand for battery-energy storage stations. Regulatory bodies may also adopt rules that substantially favor certain alternatives to battery-based storage system over others. This may impose additional obstacles to the purchase of battery-based systems. Our failure to effectively keep up with rapid technological changes and evolving industry standards by introducing new and enhanced products may cause us to lose our market share and to suffer a decrease in our revenue.

Our financial performance and prospects depend on the needs and success of our customers, as well as the demand for our customers’ products or services.

 

The demand for our battery products will ultimately depend on our end-market users. Decisions to purchase our products may depend on the performance of the industries of our customers and if demand for output in those industries decreases, then the demand for our products may decrease as well. Demand in these industries is impacted by numerous factors, including, but not limited to, commodity prices, infrastructure spending, consumer spending, travel restrictions, fuel costs, energy demands, municipal spending and government mandates and incentives. Increases or decreases in these variables may significantly impact the demand for our products. If we are unable to predict demand accurately, we may be unable to meet our customers’ needs, resulting in the loss of potential sales, or we may produce excess products, resulting in increased inventories and overcapacity in our production facilities, increasing our unit production cost and decreasing our operating margins.

 

Further, our customers’ inability to market and sell their products or services successfully, whether from lack of market acceptance or otherwise, could materially and adversely affect our business and prospects because such customers may not order new or additional products from us. If we cannot achieve the expected level of sales, we will not be able to make sufficient profits to offset the expenditures we have incurred to expand our production capacity, nor will we be able to grow our business. Accordingly, our business, financial condition, results of operations and future success would be materially and adversely affected.

 

Certain components of our batteries pose safety risks that may cause accidents, which could lead to liability to us, cause delays in manufacturing of our product and/or adversely affect market acceptance of our products.

 

Our battery systems contain Li-ion cells. On rare occasions, Li-ion cells can rapidly release the energy they contain by venting smoke and flames in a manner that can ignite nearby materials. We will subject our battery systems to various tests to assess the response of our battery systems to destructive influences. However, there can be no assurance that a field failure of our battery systems will not occur, which could damage the systems in which they are fitted or lead to personal injury or death and may subject us to lawsuits. Such lawsuits may diminish our time and resources and adversely affect our financial performance. Moreover, any failure of a competitor’s battery system, especially those that use a high volume of cells similar to ours, may cause indirect adverse publicity for us. Such adverse publicity would negatively affect our brand and harm our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results.

 

As with any battery, our lithium-based batteries can short circuit when not handled properly. Due to the high energy and power density of lithium-based batteries, a short circuit can cause rapid heat buildup. Under extreme circumstances, this could cause a fire. This is most likely to occur during the formation or testing phase of our products. While we will incorporate safety procedures and specific safety testing in our battery testing facilities to minimize safety risks, we cannot assure you that an accident in any part of our facilities where charged batteries are handled will not occur. Any such accident could result in injury to our personnel or damage to our facility. Any such injuries, damages or investigations could lead to liability to us, cause delays in the manufacturing of our product and/or adversely affect market acceptance which could adversely affect our operations and financial condition.

 

Any harmful or dangerous incidents, including fire or personnel exposure to toxic substances, that may occur during our manufacturing process could result in significant manufacturing delays or claims for damages resulting from injuries, which could adversely affect our operations and financial condition.

Changes to battery energy storage standards may negatively impact the battery-energy storage market and thus the demand for our products and services.

 

As regulatory initiatives and consumer behaviors have required an increase in the renewable energy, the demand for energy storage systems has been increasing. If renewable energy requirements can be replaced by nuclear power stations, for example, or if grid extension or centralized energy storage systems can be developed, whether as the result of regulations or otherwise, the demand of decentralized energy storage systems could diminish. In addition, the use of renewable energy and decentralized systems is different from the usage of fossil energy and centralized energy systems because the former requires behavior change and education of influencers, consumers and others such as regulatory bodies.

 

If any of the above cause or contribute to consumers or businesses to no longer purchase decentralized renewable energy and battery energy storage systems or purchase them at a lower rate, it would materially and adversely affect our business, operating results, financial condition and prospects.

 

We may face significant costs relating to environmental regulations for the storage and shipment of our Li-ion battery packs.

 

Federal, state, and local regulations impose significant environmental requirements on the manufacture, storage, transportation, and disposal of various components of advanced energy storage systems. Although we believe that our operations are in material compliance with applicable environmental regulations, there can be no assurance that changes in such laws and regulations will not impose costly compliance requirements on us or otherwise subject us to future liabilities. Moreover, federal, state, and local governments may enact additional regulations relating to the manufacture, storage, transportation, and disposal of components of advanced energy storage systems. Compliance with such additional regulations could require us to devote significant time and resources and could adversely affect demand for our products. There can be no assurance that additional or modified regulations relating to the manufacture, storage, transportation, and disposal of components of advanced energy systems will not be imposed.

 

Our future growth and success are partly correlated with and thus dependent upon the continuing rapid adoption of decentralized renewable energy.

 

Our future growth and success are partly dependent on the adoption of individual renewable energy by businesses and consumers. The market for individual installed renewable energy is still rapidly evolving, characterized by rapidly changing technologies, competitive pricing and competitive factors, evolving government regulation and industry standards and changing consumer demands and behaviors, changing levels of concern related to environmental issues and governmental initiatives related to climate change and the environment generally. Although demand for battery-energy storage systems has grown in recent years, there is no guarantee of continuing future demand. If the market for battery-energy storage systems develops more slowly than expected, or if demand for it decreases, our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results would be harmed. The market for battery-energy storage systems could be affected by numerous factors, such as:

 

1.perceptions about features, quality, safety, performance and cost;

 

2.perceptions about the limited capacity over the usage of battery systems or renewable energy sources;

 

3.competition, including from other types of alternative storage systems;

 

4.volatility in the cost of energy;

 

5.concerns regarding the stability of the electrical grid;

 

6.availability of services;

 

7.consumers’ perception about the convenience and cost of battery energy systems;

 

8.potential decreases in costs of general energy supply;

 

9.government regulations and economic incentives, including adverse changes in, or expiration of, favorable tax incentives related to battery-energy systems or decarbonization generally; and

 

10.concerns about the future viability of battery-energy systems manufacturers.

 

In addition, sales of battery energy storage systems can be cyclical, which may affect growth in acceptance of it. It is uncertain how macroeconomic factors will impact demand for individual energy storage systems, particular as it is investment to the future. Any significant decline in demand from customers could reduce demand for battery-energy storage systems and our products and services in particular.

The electric vehicle (“EV”) and battery energy storage market currently benefits from the availability of rebates, tax credits and other financial incentives from governments, utilities and others to offset the purchase or operating cost of EVs, EV charging stations and battery storage systems. The reduction, modification, or elimination of such benefits, or any delay in payment could cause reduced demand for our products or delay their purchase or production, which would adversely affect our financial results.

 

The U.S. federal government and some state and local governments provide incentives to end users and purchasers of EVs, EV charging stations and battery energy storage systems in the form of rebates, tax credits and other financial incentives, such as payments for regulatory credits. The EV and battery energy storage market relies on these governmental rebates, tax credits and other financial incentives to significantly lower the effective price to customers. However, these incentives may expire on a particular date, end when the allocated funding is exhausted, or be reduced or terminated as a matter of regulatory or legislative policy. In addition, there may be delays in the payment of rebates, or in the recognition of tax credits, which could affect the timing of purchases by customers and also result in a delay or reduction in the production cycle. All of these events could result in an adverse effect on our financial results.

 

We operate within a highly competitive industry, and we cannot guarantee that we will maintain a robust financial position, relative to our competitors, in order to become profitable.

 

We compete with other businesses in the battery industry. We consider our competitors to be both larger and smaller companies in the field, including Microvast, BSLBATT, K2 Energy, and Lion Energy. For more information regarding companies we consider to be our competition, see the “Competitive Landscape” subsection below. Our competitors are currently in a more advanced stage of business development and are more well-diversified than we are, and have more resources than we do. These competitors could also have unknown products in development. Any failure on our part to maintain a robust financial position against competitors could adversely affect our ability to become profitable. We cannot assure that we will be able to compete effectively against other market players. If we are unable to do so for any reason, including ineffective marketing and brand awareness efforts, our financial performance could be adversely affected, perhaps materially.

 

We cannot assure that our manufacturing output or the manufacturing output of our suppliers will be sufficient to fulfill orders from our customers.

 

We expect to start manufacturing batteries at our facility in Norfolk, Virginia (“Manufacturing Facility”) in October of 2024 and prior to such commencement will rely on Highstar’s supply of battery packs to us to fulfill orders from customers. Our commencement of manufacturing operations will impose significant added responsibilities on our senior management and our resources, including financial resources and the need to identify, recruit, maintain and integrate additional employees. The start of our manufacturing operations will also expose us to greater overhead and support costs and other risks associated with the manufacture and commercialization of products. Difficulties in effectively managing the budgeting, forecasting and other process control issues presented by such manufacturing could harm our business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition. Even if we succeed in starting and maintaining our manufacturing operations, we may not have enough demand for our products to justify the increased capacity. If there is a persistent mismatch in the demand for our products and our manufacturing capacity or the ability of Highstar and other future suppliers’ manufacturing capacity, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

 

We expect to use a significant amount of the proceeds of this Offering on purchasing equipment to support our manufacturing operations. However, our ability to maintain our manufacturing output is subject to significant constraints and uncertainties, including:

 

1.delays by our suppliers and equipment vendors and cost overruns as a result of a number of factors, many of which may be beyond our control, such as increases in raw material prices and problems with equipment vendors;

 

2.delays in the government approval process or denial of required approvals by relevant government authorities;

 

3.diversion of significant management attention and other resources; and

 

4.failure to effectively execute our manufacturing plans.

 

If our manufacturing output is negatively affected because of any of the risks described above, we may be unable to fulfill customer orders. In addition, if we are unable to fulfill customer orders, our reputation could be affected, and our customers could source battery systems from other companies. Any combination of the foregoing could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

10

 

 

Our financial performance depends on the ability of our suppliers to fulfill orders for the constituent parts of our products.

 

We rely on the availability of our suppliers for our battery components. Currently, we have a Supply Agreement (defined below) with Jiangsu Highstar Battery Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (“Highstar”), pursuant to which, amongst other things, Highstar will provide components, parts and materials to us prior to the commencement of battery manufacturing in our Manufacturing Facility. So long as Highstar is market competitive, we will exclusively purchase its battery cells for the next three (3) years. We cannot guarantee that Highstar or other critical suppliers we engage in the future will be able to adequately fulfill all of our orders and requirements in the future. If they are unable to do so, our financial performance will be adversely affected.

 

Our failure to cost-effectively manufacture our batteries in quantities which satisfy our customers’ demand and product specifications and their expectations for product quality and reliable delivery could damage our customer relationships and result in financial harm to us.

 

To be financially viable and even successful, we must cost-effectively manufacture commercial quantities of our complex batteries that meet our customer specifications for quality and timely delivery. We depend on the performance of our manufacturing operations to manufacture and deliver our products to our customers. If we are unable to manufacture products in commercial quantities on a timely and cost-effective basis, we could lose our customers and be unable to attract future customers, which will harm our financial performance.

 

We will rely on complex machinery for our operations and our production involves a degree of risk and uncertainty in terms of operational performance and costs.

 

We will use large-scale machinery in our manufacturing operations. Such machinery may suffer unexpected malfunctions from time to time, which will require repairs and spare parts to resume operations. These items may not be available when needed. Unexpected malfunctions of our production equipment may significantly affect our intended operational efficiency. The manufacturing equipment field is maturing there are still significant changes and improvements occurring with respect to manufacturing devices. Such changes pose a risk that our manufacturing line will become outdated faster than anticipated, prompting the need for us to expend funds to upgrade equipment to more cutting-edge designs.

 

Operational problems with our manufacturing equipment could result in the personal injury to or death of workers, the loss of production equipment, damage to manufacturing facilities, monetary losses, delays and unanticipated fluctuations in production. In addition, operational problems may result in environmental damage, administrative fines, increased insurance costs and potential legal liabilities. All of these operational problems could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows, financial condition or prospects.

 

Our battery packs rely on software and hardware that are highly technical, and if these systems contain errors, bugs or vulnerabilities, or if we are unsuccessful in addressing or mitigating technical limitations in our systems, our business could be adversely affected.

 

Our products rely on software and hardware, including software and hardware which are highly technical and complex and will require modification and updates over the life of a battery pack. In addition, certain of our products depend on the ability of such software and hardware to store, retrieve, process and manage data. Such software and hardware may contain errors, bugs or vulnerabilities, and our systems are subject to certain technical limitations that may compromise our ability to meet the objectives. Some errors, bugs or vulnerabilities inherently may be difficult to detect and may only be discovered after the code has been released for external or internal use. Errors, bugs, vulnerabilities, design defects or technical limitations may be found within our products’ software and hardware. Although we will strive to remedy any issues that we observe in our products as effectively and rapidly as possible, such efforts may not be timely, may hamper production or may not be to the satisfaction of our customers. If we are unable to prevent or effectively remedy errors, bugs, vulnerabilities or defects in our software and hardware, we may suffer damage to our brand, loss of customers, loss of revenue or liability for damages, any of which could adversely affect our business and financial results.

 

11

 

 

We may be unable to meet our future capital requirements, which could limit our ability to grow and have a material adverse effect on our financial position and the results of operations.

 

The manufacture and sale of batteries is a capital-intensive business, which we currently fund through various types of financings. As a result of the capital-intensive nature of our business, we expect that we will need to raise additional funds, including through the issuance of equity, equity-related or debt securities or through obtaining credit from financial institutions to fund, together with our principal sources of liquidity, ongoing costs such as expansion of facilities, and any significant unplanned or accelerated expenses, to name a few. We cannot be certain that additional capital will be available on attractive terms, if at all when needed, which could be dilutive to stockholders, and our financial condition, results of operations, business and prospects could be materially and adversely affected.

 

We depend on key personnel to maintain our competitive position.

 

Our ability to maintain our competitive position depends, to a large degree, on the services of our management team and managers. The loss or diminution in the services of members of the management team or an inability to attract, retain and maintain additional management personnel could have a material adverse effect on our financial performance. Competition for personnel with relevant expertise is intense because of the small number of qualified individuals, and that competition may seriously affect our ability to retain its existing management and attract additional qualified management personnel, which could have a significant adverse impact on our financial performance.

 

Strikes and other union activity may negatively impact our financial performance.

 

The services of engineers, designers, researchers and other talent, trade employees and others that we engage now or in the future may be subject to collective bargaining agreements. This applies to the personnel our suppliers engage as well. If we or our suppliers are unable to renew expiring collective bargaining agreements in the future, the affected unions could respond with strikes or work stoppages. Such actions, as well as significant labor disputes and higher costs associated with the negotiation of collective bargaining agreements, could adversely affect our business by causing delays in production and in release dates or by reducing our products’ profit margins.  

 

We may be unable to maintain brand awareness to the extent necessary to become profitable.

 

We believe developing and maintaining awareness of and consumer engagement with our brand in a cost-effective manner is critical to achieving widespread acceptance of our existing and future services and is an important element in attracting new customers and maintaining old customers. Successful promotion of our brand will depend largely on the effectiveness of our marketing efforts and on our ability to provide attractive products at competitive prices. Our efforts to build our brand will involve significant expense. Brand promotion activities may not yield increased revenue, and even if they do, any increased revenue may not offset the expenses incurred in building our brand. If our efforts to promote and maintain our brand are not successful, we may fail to attract enough new customers and maintain existing customers to the extent necessary to realize a sufficient return on our brand-building efforts, and our business could suffer.

 

12

 

 

The success of our business depends on our ability to attract, train and retain highly-skilled and key personnel.

 

As a result of the highly specialized, technical nature of our business, we must attract, train and retain a sizable workforce comprising highly-skilled other key personnel. Since our industry is characterized by high demand and intense competition for talent, we may have to pay higher salaries and wages and provide greater benefits in order to attract and retain highly-skilled employees or other key personnel that we will need to achieve our strategic objectives. As we are still a young company, our ability to train and integrate new personnel into our operations may not meet the requirements of our growing business. Our failure to attract, train or retain highly-skilled and other key personnel in numbers that are sufficient to satisfy our needs would materially and adversely affect our business. Staff that we are unable to retain also pose a risk since they can inform competitors of our know-how and may lessen the technological advantages over our competitors that we have developed.

 

Our success depends on the performance of our directors, executive officers, and key employees, and we do not have key person life insurance policies on any such personnel.

 

Our success depends on the performance of our directors, executive officers and key employees and on our ability to retain and motivate them. Our products also require the input of experts from different fields, such as engineers, designers, researchers, clean energy experts, among others. If these experts fail to provide adequate services to us, we may incur additional costs to compensate for that failure. Any loss of or inability to retain such highly qualified personnel could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, cash flow, and results of operations. Further, although we rely on highly qualified personnel for its financial success, they are not covered by key person life insurance policies. In the event of their death or disability, we will not receive compensation to ameliorate the financial impact of their loss.

 

Risks associated with this Offering and the Shares

 

We cannot assure that we will successfully raise the funds necessary to achieve our desired use of the proceeds.

 

Although we are attempting to raise proceeds totaling $20,700,000 in this Offering, we are conducting this Offering on a “best efforts” basis and, therefore, it is not obligated to sell all or any portion of the targeted amount. We may close on one or more subscriptions for the Shares, and may immediately begin using the proceeds of such subscriptions, without regard to the amount raised before any such closing. Because we cannot ensure that we will be able to (or that we will decide to) sell any given number of Shares offered for sale in this Offering, we could terminate this Offering on sales of substantially less than $20,700,000 in proceeds – or perhaps on no sales at all. If we decide to terminate this Offering before it has sold all the Shares initially offered for sale, it will in all likelihood be unable to apply the amount raised in the manner it desires.

 

Even if we sell all the Shares in this Offering, we may need substantial additional capital to fund working capital needs. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available to us on commercially reasonable or acceptable terms, or at all. Additionally, our existing debt obligations or our incurrence of additional debt in the future could increase the risks associated with our business and with owning the Shares.

 

13

 

 

We did not perform an independent valuation prior to determining the terms of this Offering.

 

We have not obtained an independent valuation prior to determining the terms of the Offering. We have determined the Offering Price based on the price at which we were able to offer our Shares in previous financing rounds. Therefore, the Offering Price does not necessarily bear any relationship to our assets, earnings, book value, net tangible value, or other generally accepted criteria of value for investment. The Offering Price is higher than the net tangible book value per share of the Common Stock immediately before the commencement of this Offering; and even with the inflow of gross proceeds of $20,700,000 in capital if this Offering is fully subscribed, the net tangible book value per share of the Shares immediately after the conclusion of this Offering will still be less than the Offering Price.

 

An Investor’s ownership interest could be significantly diluted.

 

An investor’s ownership interest in the Company may be subject to future dilution. We may, and most likely will, need to raise additional capital in the future. In connection with raising such capital, we may issue additional Shares or other securities (which may include preferred stock with liquidation, distribution, voting or other preferential rights that are senior to the rights of the Shares).

 

We may also enter into strategic partnerships or acquisitions in the future in connection with which it may need to issue additional Shares or other securities, and it may issue additional Shares, Shares or other securities to existing or future officers, directors, employees and consultants as compensation or incentives. As a result of the foregoing, a purchaser of Shares in this Offering could find its interest in the Company diluted in the future through a decrease in the purchaser’s relative percentage ownership of the Company.

 

Voting control is in the hands of a small number of stockholders.

 

Voting control of the Company is concentrated amongst a small number of holders of Series A Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred Stock”) and the directors and executive officers who currently hold the vast majority of our Shares. The Series A Preferred Stock has supervoting rights, entitling its holders to 10,000 votes per share of Series A Preferred Stock held. In contrast, the Shares offered to investors in this Offering have only one (1) vote per Share. Therefore, investors in the Shares will not have enough voting power to influence our policies or any other corporate matter, including the election of directors; changes to the Company’s governance documents (with limited exceptions); the expansion of any employee equity or option pool; any merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of our assets; or any other major action requiring stockholder approval. See “Securities Being Offered.” Even if this Offering is fully subscribed, as of immediately after this Offering, investors in this Offering in the aggregate hold less than 0.01% of the voting power in the Company. Our directors and executive officers, as a group, currently hold approximately 57.81% of voting control of the Company and can make all major decisions regarding the Company. You will not have enough voting power to have a say in these decisions.

 

We may sell Shares concurrently to certain investors on more favorable terms.

 

Certain investors may negotiate alternative terms for the purchase of Shares. We are under no obligation to amend and restate any particular stock purchase agreement, subscription agreement, or other selling document based on subsequent agreements executed with us on different terms or to notify investors of any alternative terms, including any that may be more favorable for certain investors.

 

We are offering Bonus Shares, which means we would effectively offer a discount on our stock price, to some investors in this Offering.

 

Certain investors in this Offering are entitled to receive additional Shares (effectively a discount) based on the amount invested. For example, an investor who invests $50,000 in this Offering (not including the Investor Processing Fee), will be eligible for 999 Bonus Shares. Accordingly, this investor would effectively be purchasing 5,999 Shares for the same price paid for 5,000 Shares, or effectively paying $8.33 per Share (prior to reflecting the Investor Processing Fee), compared to the Offering Price of $10. For more details, including all of the Bonus Shares being offered, see “Plan of Distribution.” Consequently, the value of Shares for investors who pay the full Offering Price or are entitled to a smaller amount of Bonus Shares in this Offering will be immediately diluted by investments made by investors entitled to the discount, who will pay less for an ownership stake in the Company.

ITEM 4.

 

DILUTION

 

Dilution (also known as stock or equity dilution) results when a company’s issuance of additional shares of stock decreases an existing stockholder’s ownership percentage of that company. Stock dilution can also result from the exercise of a company’s stock options or other optionable securities by their holders, which may include our employees. When the number of shares outstanding increases, each existing stockholder owns a smaller, or diluted, percentage of the Company. Stock dilution may result from a company’s issuance of shares of stock to obtain additional capital. Future sales of a substantial number of shares of our Shares in the public market could adversely affect the Shares’ then-prevailing market price (if any), as well as our ability to raise equity capital in the future.

 

Dilution can also result from a company’s arbitrary determination of the offering price of shares of stock being offered and sold to investors. In the case of this Offering, because there is no established public market for the Shares, the Offering Price and other terms and conditions relating to the Shares have been determined by us arbitrarily and do not bear any necessary relationship to assets, earnings, book value or any other objective criteria of value. In addition, no investment banker, appraiser or other independent third party has been consulted concerning the Offering Price or its fairness to investors. To whatever extent the issuance of Shares sold to investors in this Offering may be dilutive of the interests of existing Company stockholders, any such dilutive effect may be magnified by the issuance of Bonsu Shares, for which the Company will receive no additional consideration. Because the Company is unable to reasonably estimate how many investors will qualify for Bonus Shares in this Offering or the number of Bonus Shares likely to be issued to those investors that do not in fact qualify, the Company is also unable to accurately assess the potential dilutive effect of any such issuance.

 

From time to time after the termination of this Offering, we may issue additional Shares to raise additional capital. Any such issuances may result in dilution of the interests of then existing stockholders, including investors in this Offering. If in the future the number of Shares outstanding increases, each existing stockholder will own a smaller, or diluted, percentage of the Company, which, depending on the amount of capital raised by the issuance of the additional Shares, could render the Shares then held by stockholders less valuable than before the new issuance. Dilution may also reduce the value of existing Shares by reducing the Shares’ earnings per Share. We cannot guarantee that investors in this Offering will not, in the future, experience dilution of their interests in the Shares.

 

Investors should be aware that compared to the Offering Price of $10 per Share, the average effective cash cost to the Company’s officers, directors, promoters and affiliated persons for Common Stock acquired by them in a transaction during the past year was $3.33.

Bonus Shares for High-Volume Purchases

 

Certain investors in this Offering are eligible for “volume perks,” representing the right to receive Bonus Shares, if the investors satisfy the volume-related purchase criteria set forth below. All such investors will receive, as part of their investments, Bonus Shares in addition to the Shares purchased for cash. The number of volume-related Bonus Shares will be a percentage of the Shares actually purchased in this Offering, and could be up to 19.99%, depending upon qualification (if at all) in one of the volume-related eligibility categories described below.

 

17

 

 

A Share purchase of at least $2,500:

 

5% Bonus Shares

 

A Share purchase of at least $5,000:

 

7.5% Bonus Shares

 

A Share purchase of at least $10,000:

 

10% Bonus Shares

 

A Share purchase of at least $25,000:

 

15% Bonus Shares

 

A Share purchase of at least $50,000:

 

19.99% Bonus Shares

 

By way of illustration only, (i) a purchase of Shares for $5,000 would net an investor 537 Shares, 37 of which would be Bonus Shares, (ii) a purchase of Shares for $10,000 would net the investor 1,100 Shares, 100 of which would be Bonus Shares, and (iii) a purchase of Shares for $20,000 would net an investor 2,200 Shares, 200 of which would be Bonus Shares.

 

The award of Bonus Shares effectively gives qualifying investors a discount on the Shares they purchase in this Offering. Investors entitled to receive Bonus Shares would effectively be paying not $10.00 for each Share, but the following per-Share prices (approximately), depending on the percentage of qualifying Bonus Shares.

 

Bonus Shares Percentage  Approximate
Effective
Price Per
Share
   Approximate
Effective
Discount Per
Share
 
5%  $9.54   $0.45 
7.5%  $9.31   $0.69 
10%  $9.09   $0.90 
15%  $8.69   $1.31 
19.99%  $8.33   $1.67 

 

By way of illustration only, an investor that purchased 5,000 Shares would qualify for a Bonus Shares percentage of 19.99%. Purchase of 5,000 Shares in this Offering for $5,000 (i.e., $10.00 per Share) would entitle that investor to 999 Bonus Shares, for a total of 5,999 Shares. The effective per-Share price of the 5,999 Shares would be approximately $8.33 (i.e., $50,000 ÷ 5,999).

 

Notwithstanding any effective discount on the price per Share as a consequence of an investor’s qualifying for Bonus Shares, the Investor Processing Fee will be assessed on the full Share price of $10.00 (though only with respect to the purchased Shares, not with respect to any Bonus Shares). In the example set forth in the immediately preceding paragraph (i.e., the purchase of 5,000 Shares for $50,000), the processing fee would be $1,750.

 

Before investing, investors should consult with tax professionals to fully understand the tax implications, if any, of receiving Bonus Shares.

 

Subscription Procedures

 

In order to purchase the Shares, a prospective investor must complete, sign, and deliver to the Company a subscription agreement (in the form attached as Exhibit 4.1 to the Offering Statement). Each investor will be required to use Novation Solutions’ technology in completing and executing the subscription agreement on the Company’s website. Investors must subscribe by tendering funds via wire, credit card, debit card or ACH only and checks will not be accepted.

 

The Company may close on investments on a “rolling” basis, such that not all investors will receive their Shares on the same date. Funds will be held in the Company’s payment processor account until the Broker has reviewed the proposed subscription and the Company has accepted the subscription. At that point, funds may be released to the Company. The Company will be responsible for payment processing fees. The Company reserves the right to reject any investor’s subscription in whole or in part for any reason or no reason. If any prospective investor’s subscription is rejected, all funds received from that investor will be returned without interest or deduction.

 

The Broker has not approved, endorsed, or passed upon the merits of purchasing the Shares. The Broker will not provide investment advice to any prospective investor, or make any securities recommendations to investors. The Broker is not distributing any offering circulars or making any oral representations concerning this Offering Circular or this Offering. No investor should rely on the Broker’s involvement in this Offering as a basis for a belief that it has done extensive due diligence. The Broker does not expressly or impliedly affirm the completeness or accuracy of the Offering Statement and/or this Offering Circular presented to investors by the Company. All inquiries regarding this Offering should be made directly to the Company.

In addition to this Offering Circular, subject to limitations imposed by applicable securities laws, we may use additional advertising, sales, and other promotional materials in connection with this Offering. Such materials may include public advertisements and audio-visual materials, in each case only as authorized by the Company. Although any such materials will be prepared with a view to presenting a balanced discussion of risk and reward with respect to the Shares, such materials may not give a complete understanding of this Offering, the Company or the Shares and are not to be considered part of this Offering Circular. This Offering is made ONLY by means of this Offering Circular, and prospective investors must read and rely only on the information provided in this Offering Circular in connection with their decision to invest in the Shares.

 

Investment Limitations

 

Generally, no sale may be made to a natural person in this Offering if the aggregate purchase price paid is more than 10% of the greater of that person’s annual income or net worth (or, in the case of an investor that is not a natural person, if the aggregate purchase price paid is more than 10% of the greater of that person’s revenues or net assets for its most recently completed fiscal year end). Investors must answer certain questions to determine compliance with the investment limitation set forth in Rule 251(d)(2)(i)(C) of Regulation A under the Securities Act.

 

Before making any representation that your investment does not exceed applicable thresholds, we encourage you to review Rule 251(d)(2)(i)(C) of Regulation A. For general information on investing, we encourage you to visit www.investor.gov.

 

The above noted investment limitation does not apply to “accredited investors,” as that term is defined in Rule 501 under the Securities Act.

 

A natural person is an accredited investor if he/she meets one of the following criteria:

 

  his or her individual net worth,1 or joint net worth2 with the investor’s spouse or spousal equivalent, excluding the “net value” of his or her primary residence, at the time of this purchase exceeds $1,000,000 and he or she has no reason to believe that 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 investor’s 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;
     
  he or she 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 or spousal equivalent in excess of $300,000 in each of those years, and has a reasonable expectation of reaching the same income level in the current year; or
     
  he or she holds in good standing either the Series 7, Series 65, or Series 82 licenses certified by FINRA.

 

NOTE: A natural person’s net worth is defined as the difference between total assets and total liabilities. This calculation must exclude the value of the person’s primary residence and may exclude any indebtedness secured by that residence (up to an amount equal to its value). In the case of fiduciary accounts, net worth and/or income suitability requirements may be satisfied by the beneficiary of the account or by the fiduciary, if the fiduciary directly or indirectly provides funds for the purchase of the Shares.

 

A business entity or other organization is an accredited investor if it is any of the following:

 

a corporation, limited liability company, exempt organization described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, 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;

 

an employee benefit plan within the meaning of Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, (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 trust, with total assets in excess of $5,000,000, which was not formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the securities offered, and whose decision to purchase such securities is directed by a “sophisticated person” as described in Rule 506(b)(2)(ii) of Regulation D under the Securities Act;

 

19

 

 

certain financial institutions such as banks and savings and loan associations, registered broker-dealers, insurance companies, registered investment companies, registered investment advisers; investment advisers relying on certain registration exemptions, and “rural business investment companies”;

 

any private “business development company” as defined in Section 202(a)(22) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (the “Advisers Act”);

 

any family office as defined in Rule 202(a)(11)(G)-1 under the Advisers Act with assets under management in excess of $5,000,000, that is not formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the securities offered, and whose prospective investment is directed by a person who has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that such family office is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment (any such family office, “Family Office”);

 

any family client, as defined in Rule 202(a)(11)(G)-1 under the Advisers Act, of a Family Office and whose prospective investment in the issuer is directed by such Family Office;

 

any entity, of a type not listed above, which was not formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the securities offered, and which owns investments in excess of $5,000,000; or

 

any entity in which all of the equity owners are accredited investors.

 

Under Rule 251 of Regulation A, an investor that is neither an accredited investor nor a natural person is subject to the investment limitation and may invest funds only to the extent that they do not exceed 10% of the greater of the purchaser’s revenue or net assets for the purchaser’s most recently completed fiscal year end. A natural person that is not an accredited investor may invest funds only to the extent that they do not exceed 10% of the greater of the purchaser’s annual income or net worth.

  

As described above, in order to purchase Shares and before the Company may accept any funds from an investor, the investor will be required to represent, to the Company’s satisfaction, that he, she, or it is either an accredited investor or in compliance with the investment limitation described in the second preceding paragraph.

 

The Company, subject to compliance with Rule 255 of the Securities Act and corresponding state regulations, is permitted to generally solicit investors by using advertising mediums, such as print, radio, television and the Internet. We have plans to solicit investors using the Internet through a variety of existing Internet advertising mechanisms, such as search-based advertising, search engine optimization and our website. We will offer the Shares (i) as permitted by Rule 251(d)(1)(ii), whereby offers may be made after the Offering Statement is filed with the Commission but before it is qualified, provided that any written offers are made by means of a preliminary offering circular that complies with Rule 254 and (ii) as permitted by Rule 251(d)(1)(iii), whereby offers may be made after the Qualification Date, provided that any written offers are accompanied with or preceded by the most recent Offering Circular filed with the Commission.

 

No sales will be made to any investor before the Offering Statement has been qualified by the Commission and a final Offering Circular has been made available to that investor.

 

Before we accept any investment funds or any subscription agreements, we will determine the states in which the prospective investors reside. Subject to the Company’s right to reject any investor’s subscription in whole or in part for any reason or no reason, we will process investments on a first-come, first-served basis, up to the maximum aggregate offering amount of $24,698,000.

ITEM 6.

 

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

We are offering for sale up to 2,000,000 Shares, subject to the conditions set forth in “Securities Being Offered,” each Share having a fixed cash price of $10. Because the Company is not conditioning this Offering on the sale of any minimum number of Shares, we will retain the proceeds from the sale of any of the offered Shares. The Offering is being conducted on a “best efforts” basis through a registered broker-dealer that is admitted to membership in FINRA and SIPC. (See “Plan of Distribution.”)

 

Offers and sales of the Shares in the Offering will commence within two calendar days after the Qualification Date. This Offering will end on the earliest of (i) the 180th day after the Qualification Date (though we may, in our sole discretion, extend this Offering one or more times), (ii) the date as of which all Shares offered by this Offering Circular in the Offering have been sold and (iii) any such earlier time as we may determine in our sole discretion, regardless of the number of Shares sold, and the amount of capital raised, in the Offering. If all of the Shares offered in the Offering are purchased by investors, our gross proceeds will be $20,700,000.1 The following illustrates the Company’s estimated application of proceeds. As a point of comparison, we have added a column that assumes the sale of half of the offered Shares (i.e., 1,000,000 Shares) during the Offering Period.

 

During the course of the Offering, the Company may issue Bonus Shares as described under “Plan of Distribution.” The issuance of Bonus Shares does not affect the amount of proceeds to be received by the Company.

 

Please see the table below for a summary of the Company’s intended use of proceeds from the Offering:

*As indicated above, a portion of the proceeds of this Offering will be used to retire short-term debt of the Company with four individuals in the aggregate cash amount of $385,000 and equity amount of 6,000 shares of Common Stock. Such short-term debt represents amounts owed to the aforementioned four individuals as settlement of discounted notes previously issued to such individuals. The Company must discharge such short-term debt on or before October 1, 2024, pursuant to the terms of settlement with such individuals. The proceeds of the discounted notes previously issued to such individuals were used to pay rent and other operating costs.

 

The above table is intended to provide an overview of the contemplated application (or use) of proceeds over time as a function of the success of this Offering’s capital raise.

 

Assuming a raise of $10,350,000, representing 50% of the maximum offering amount, the net proceeds of this Offering would be approximately $8,771,250 after subtracting estimated offering costs of $672,750 to the Broker in cash commissions, $376,000 in marketing and advisory service fees to Reach, $250,000 in supplemental marketing services to Reach, $95,000 in advances to the Broker and its affiliates (against accountable expenses and fully refundable to the extent not actually incurred), $72,000 in subscription fees to Reach for marketing advisory services, $18,000 in subscription fees to and Novation Securities for account maintenance, $50,000 in estimated legal fees, $20,000 in estimated accounting and audit fees, $20,000 in blue sky compliance fees and expenses, and $5,000 in estimated EDGARization fees.

 

Assuming a fully subscribed offering, the gross proceeds will be $20,700,000 and the net proceeds of this Offering would be approximately $18,448,500 after subtracting (i) estimated offering costs of $1,345,000 to the Broker in cash commissions, (ii) $376,000 in marketing and advisory service fees to Reach, (iii) $250,000 in supplemental marketing services to Reach, (iv) $95,000 in advances to the Broker and its affiliates (against accountable expenses and fully refundable to the extent not actually incurred), (v) $72,000 in subscription fees to Reach for marketing advisory services, (vi) $18,000 in subscription fees to and Novation Securities for account maintenance, (vii) $50,000 in legal fees, (viii) $20,000 in estimated accounting and audit fees, (ix) $20,000 in estimated blue sky compliance fees and expenses, and (x) $5,000 in estimated EDGARization fees.

 

The Company reserves the right to change the above use of proceeds.

ITEM 7.

 

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

Overview of the Company

 

Lion Power Systems (NV), Inc. is an American alternative energy company incorporated in Nevada on April 13, 2023. We were founded to bring to market products based on Lithium-ion (“Li-ion”) battery technology.  We plan to manufacture and supply Li-ion batteries for a range of applications, including automotive, electronic devices, and solar energy. We are committed to providing innovative, reliable, affordable, and renewable energy solutions for residential, commercial, and industrial applications. 

 

Currently, we are in a pre-revenue stage of development. We have leased a 48,000 square foot space in Norfolk, Virginia to be used as our Manufacturing Facility. We are presently awaiting manufacturing equipment to arrive (expected to take place in September of 2024). After the delivery of this manufacturing equipment, we will install them in our Manufacturing Facility and seek certification for our anticipated products (discussed below). We expect to start manufacturing battery packs at the Manufacturing Facility in October of 2024.

 

We entered into a Supply, Development and Leasing Agreement with Highstar in July of 2023 (“Supply Agreement”), filed as Exhibit 6.1 hereto. Highstar is a company based in China and is a major manufacturer of Ni-MH batteries, Ni-CD batteries, Lithium-polymer and Li-ion batteries, as well as battery cells, parts, related materials.

 

Due to current geopolitical tensions between the U.S. and China and anticipated U.S. government restrictions on the sale of battery packs from China to America pursuant to Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 (“Section 301”), Highstar determined to enter into the Supply Agreement with us to be able to continue selling its battery packs to American customers. Section 301 authorizes the United States President to take all appropriate action, including tariff-based and non-tariff-based retaliation, to obtain the removal of any act, policy, or practice of a foreign government that violates an international trade agreement or is unjustified, unreasonable, or discriminatory, and that burdens or restricts U.S. commerce. In May 2024, the Biden administration proposed expansions to Section 301 tariffs on imports from China. If adopted, tariff rate increases of: (i) increase from 7.5% to 25% for lithium-ion EV batteries starting on August 1, 2024; (ii) increase from 7.5% to 25% for lithium-ion non-EV batteries starting on January 1, 2026; and (iii) increase from 7.5% to 25% for non-lithium-ion battery parts starting on August 2024, amongst other things.

 

Pursuant to the Supply Agreement, Highstar will allow us to use its proprietary battery technology, which we will incorporate and use to manufacture and sell battery products under our own brand label in the U.S. The supply and manufacturing arrangement described in this paragraph exists pursuant to the Supply Agreement (as described below) and filed herein as Exhibit 6.1. Last year, Highstar generated approximately $50 million in revenue from selling battery packs to U.S. customers, and we anticipate benefitting from the North American clients Highstar will introduce to us.

 

As of the date of this Offering Circular, we have not launched any of the products discussed herein. All of our current anticipated products (referred to as “our products” in this Offering Circular) will be based on Highstar’s proprietary battery technology and were designed and developed by Highstar. We cannot assure that any or all of our products will ever launch, launch successfully, or that we will be able to generate revenue from these products or adequate revenue to continue as a going concern.

 

Supply Agreement with Highstar

 

In July of 2023, the Company entered into the Supply Agreement with Highstar. Pursuant to the Supply Agreement, Highstar agreed to provide certain battery parts, materials, and components to us as set forth in the Supply Agreement and based upon the stage of development of our Manufacturing Facility. Consistent with our plans at the time of entry into the Supply Agreement, at the foremost stage of development of our Manufacturing Facility (designated “Phase 1A” within the Supply Agreement), Highstar would supply completed battery packs to us, which we would label, market, and sell to consumers under the Company’s brand label. In a further stage of development but prior to us manufacturing batteries in the Manufacturing Facility (“Phase 1B” as it is designated in the Supply Agreement), Highstar will provide battery components and materials to us, which we will assemble and market and sell under the Company’s brand label. In exchange for the supplies abovementioned in this paragraph, Highstar would receive value from the Company. The Supply Agreement provided that when we commenced battery manufacturing at the Manufacturing Facility, we would use battery cell manufacturing technology licensed from Highstar and launch our battery products using a single assembly line (Phase 2) and finally in multiple assembly lines (Phase 3).

 

The Supply Agreement also states that in connection with Phases 1A and 1B, Highstar would provide certain personnel to us to assist as needed with the technical aspects of the design, implementation, and operation of our battery assembly operations and marketing of the finished battery packs to customers. In connection with Phases 1A and 1B, Highstar granted the Company a non-exclusive and royalty-free license to use any and all technical information, know-how, and trade secrets which are useful or necessary in the assembly of battery packs using Highstar’s supplied parts, components, and materials. This license was to terminate automatically upon the termination of the Supply Agreement and was granted only pursuant to the Supply Agreement, not a separate license agreement with Highstar. The terms of Highstar’s provision of such personnel are set forth in further detail in the Consulting Agreement (as defined and described below), including, among other items, compensation for such personnel.

 

23

 

 

As of the date of this Offering Circular, due to delays in the delivery of equipment to our Manufacturing Facility, we no longer believe we will order completed battery packs from Highstar. We now anticipate foregoing Phase 1A as originally set forth in the Supply Agreement, and expect to proceed directly to Phase 1B and subsequent phases after the arrival and installation of our manufacturing equipment. Following the delivery and installation of this equipment to our Manufacturing Facility, we plan to assemble battery packs with the components supplied to us by Highstar, and subsequently to launch our battery products with the proprietary battery technology licensed from Highstar. Since we expect to forego Phase 1A as set forth in the Supply Agreement, we do not expect anticipated increases in Section 301 import tariffs on battery packs to impact this foregone stage of development (Phase 1A).

 

With respect to Highstar’s shipment of battery components to the Company in Phase 1B, the Company believes that import tariffs on Highstar’s battery components will not be at the same levels as import tariffs on entire, complete battery packs, and that therefore assembling imported Highstar battery components and manufacturing batteries in the United States under the Company’s label will still be competitive.

 

Pursuant to the Supply Agreement, we agreed to use our best efforts to secure financing to fund Phase 2, and prior to such funding, we would negotiate with Highstar in good faith to reach an agreement to include: (i) Highstar’s granting of a license within in the United States, Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean islands of its proprietary battery cell manufacturing technology to us; and (ii) our issuance of a minority equity ownership posision in the Company to Highstar or a third party entity designated by Highstar. As of the date of this Offering Circular, we do not have a separate license agreement providing for the license arrangement described in this paragraph.

 

We currently anticipate the below timeframes for the various phases of development of our Manufacturing Facility referenced in the Supply Agreement: (i) Phase 1B: August of 2024 to October of 2024; (ii) Phase 2: October of 2024 to October of 2025; and (iii) Phase 3: October of 2025 to April of 2026. These timeframes remain subject to change.

 

The Supply Agreement provides that Highstar will lease certain industrial equipment to us over a lease term of 25 months. Upon remittance of the final lease payment on such equipment, we have an option to purchase such industrial equipment from Highstar. The terms of this lease arrangement are more specifically set forth in the Lease Equipment Contract (as defined and described below).

 

On May 1, 2024, we entered into an Addendum to the Supply Agreement (the “Supply Agreement Addendum”), which: (i) amended the payment terms of our equipment leasing arrangements with Highstar pursuant to Article III of the Supply Agreement; (ii) set forth the deadline of July 13, 2024 for Highstar’s shipment of industrial equipment to us; and (iii) specified that the Company will exercise its best efforts to facilitate the granting of visas to enter the U.S. by Highstar’s personnel to assist the Company with the technical aspects of the Company’s battery assembly operations and marketing of battery packs. See the description of the Consulting Agreement below. The Supply Agreement Addendum has been filed as Exhibit 6.5.

 

Consulting Agreement with Highstar

 

We entered into a Consulting Agreement with Highstar on October 26, 2023 (the “Consulting Agreement”), which further defined the terms of the services and personnel Highstar will supply to us. Highstar is obligated to provide us with two (2) to three (3) personnel with experience and expertise in production supervision of the equipment in the Manufacturing Facility and assembly line, cell sorting and testing, and software. Such personnel will provide us with certain consulting services, including in equipment inspection, design and layout of our Manufacturing Facility, instructions for equipment setup and adjustment of equipment to working conditions, product specifications, packing design and implantation, Battery Management System (BMS) interface coding for clients, sales personnel assistance, and the training of workers at the Manufacturing Facility. Highstar will receive value from us for such services and personnel. The Consulting Agreement is filed as Exhibit 6.2.

 

Leasing Equipment Contract with Highstar

 

We entered into the Lease Equipment Contract with Highstar on October 26, 2023 (the “Lease Equipment Contract”), which set forth the terms on which Highstar will lease certain equipment to us (consisting of assembly line automation production and semi-automatic production equipment, testing instruments, welding machines, packing machines, and fire protection facilities) to operate in the Manufacturing Facility, over a term of 25 months, with a scheduled lease term planned starting December 2023 and planned ending in December 2025. The Lease Equipment Contract provides that if there is a conflict between the Lease Equipment Contract and previously executed agreements, the terms of the Supply Agreement will govern. The Leasing Equipment Contract is filed as Exhibit 6.3.

Solid state Li-on batteries

 

 

In the second quarter of 2025, the Company plans to launch what it believes will be the first commercially viable solid-state Li-ion battery for the electric vehicle and power wall markets and other industrial applications. While liquid Li-ion batteries are currently considered cutting-edge technology in the battery industry, solid-state Li-ion batteries offer various advantages over liquid Li-ion batteries and are considered by many to be the “holy grail” of batteries. Solid Li-ion batteries have no liquid medium inside the device in which they are installed, which eliminates the risk of battery overheating and crystallization. The design and structure of the lithium solid-state battery makes for a lighter, more efficient battery pack the liquid Li-ion batteries currently in use.

Our Competitive Strengths

 

We believe the following strengths differentiate us from our competitors:

 

1.Reliability and safety. We prioritize product reliability and safety. When our manufacturing operations commence, we will exact stringent quality control measures and rigorous testing to ensure that our batteries perform at a high level to keep our customers safe and their devices running smoothly.

 

Our battery packs feature four types of safety materials (a safer cathode material, a superior thermal closure separator, higher thermal stability cathode material, and electrolytes with flame-retardant additives) and feature three levels of safety structure (a winding-type safety structure, positive/negative tabs wrapped with flame-retardant tape, and preset safety cover with an explosion-proof valve).

 

We have safety protocols in place, including a six-step safety control process (moisture, particle, burr, metal particle, winding alignment and can insertion) and an eight-point safety test (including but not limited to overcharge, over-discharge, short circuit, mechanical shock, drop and immersion tests). Our safety test meets the safety testing standards of Li-ion batteries in most major global economies.  

 

2.Competitive prices: We believe in delivering exceptional value to our customer by providing high-quality, long-lasting batteries that offer outstanding performance and efficiency at affordable prices.

 

U.S.-manufactured products. Once our Manufacturing Facility commences operations, all of our products will be manufactured in America.

 

3.Environmental stewardship. We are committed to the restoration of the Earth’s environment. We plan to use eco-friendly materials for the manufacture of our products to reducing our carbon footprint. We aspire to develop sustainable energy solutions to contribute to a greener, more hopeful, future.

 

The Competitive Landscape

 

Our competition includes companies in the energy storage and battery manufacturing sector which have a longer corporate history and are in a more advanced stage of business development. We consider our competition to be Microvast, BSLBATT, K2 Energy, and Lion Energy.

 

30

 

 

Microvast is a 20-year-old, publicly traded lithium battery company currently holding 626 patents and patents applications worldwide. They have three productions plants worldwide, including in Tennessee, Germany, and China. They are currently focused today on the commercial transportation, heavy equipment, and energy storage applications. As needed, they develop custom batteries for their customers. In our view, their selling points are providing battery products for larger ground vehicles such as buses, medium size trucks and vans. Microvast advertises the quick charge for their products, product safety and longevity as well as reliability as selling points to consumers.

 

BSLBATT is also a company that has a relatively longer corporate history, having been in business for over 20 years.

Business Overview  

 

Lion Power Systems (NV), Inc. is an American alternative energy company incorporated in Nevada on April 13, 2023. We were founded to bring to market products based on Li-ion battery technology and intends to manufacture and supply Li-ion batteries for a range of applications, including automotive, electronic devices, and solar energy. We are committed to providing innovative, reliable, affordable renewable energy solutions for residential, commercial, and industrial applications, offering customized energy storage solutions that pave the way for a greener and more energy-efficient future.

 

Currently, we are in a pre-revenue stage of development. We have leased a 48,000 square foot space in Norfolk, Virginia to be used as its Manufacturing Facility. Equipment is scheduled to arrive in August of 2024. After installation of the equipment, the Company intends to secure certification for its anticipated product line, and expects to begin manufacturing battery packs in October of 2024.

 

Due to geopolitical tensions and anticipate tariff increases under Section 301 as described in more detail in “Item 8 – Description of Business,” Highstar determined to enter into the Supply Agreement with us to supply battery packs and components to American customers.

 

We entered into a Supply Agreement with Highstar in July of 2023. Highstar is a company based in China and is a major manufacturer of Ni-MH batteries, Ni-CD batteries, Lithium-polymer and Li-ion batteries, as well as battery cells, parts, related materials. Last year, Highstar generated approximately $50 million in revenue from selling battery packs to U.S. customers, and we anticipate benefitting from the North American clients Highstar will introduce to us.

 

Consistent with our plans at the time of entry into the Supply Agreement, at the foremost stage of development of our Manufacturing Facility (designated “Phase 1A” within the Supply Agreement), Highstar would supply completed battery packs to us, which we would label, market, and sell to consumers under the Company’s brand label. In a further stage of development but prior to us manufacturing batteries in the Manufacturing Facility (“Phase 1B” as it is designated in the Supply Agreement), Highstar would provide battery components and materials to us, which we will assemble and market and sell under the Company’s brand label. In exchange for the supplies abovementioned in this paragraph, Highstar would receive value from the Company. The Supply Agreement provides that when we commence battery manufacturing at the Manufacturing Facility, we will use battery cell manufacturing technology licensed from Highstar and launch our battery products using a single assembly line (Phase 2) and finally in multiple assembly lines (Phase 3).

 

The Supply Agreement also states that in connection with Phases 1A and 1B, Highstar would provide certain personnel to us to assist as needed with the technical aspects of the design, implementation, and operation of our battery assembly operations and marketing of the finished battery packs to customers. In connection with Phases 1A and 1B, Highstar granted the Company a non-exclusive and royalty-free license to use any and all technical information, know-how, and trade secrets which are useful or necessary in the assembly of battery packs using Highstar’s supplied parts, components, and materials. This license was to terminate automatically upon the termination of the Supply Agreement and was granted only pursuant to the Supply Agreement, not a separate license agreement with Highstar. The terms of Highstar’s provision of such personnel are set forth in further detail in the Consulting Agreement (as defined and described below), including, among other items, compensation for such personnel.

 

32

 

 

As of the date of this Offering Circular, due to delays in the delivery of equipment to our Manufacturing Facility, we no longer believe we will order completed battery packs from Highstar. We now anticipate foregoing Phase 1A as originally set forth in the Supply Agreement, and expect to proceed directly to Phase 1B and subsequent phases after the arrival and installation of our manufacturing equipment. Following the delivery and installation of this equipment to our Manufacturing Facility, we plan to assemble battery packs with the components supplied to us by Highstar, and subsequently to launch our battery products with the proprietary battery technology licensed from Highstar. We no longer anticipate placing purchase orders for battery packs from Highstar and expect to forego Phase 1A as set forth in the Supply Agreement. Therefore, we do not expect anticipated increases in Section 301 import tariffs on battery packs to impact this foregone stage of development in our Manufacturing Facility (Phase 1A).

 

With respect to Highstar’s shipment of battery components to the Company in Phase 1B, the Company believes that import tariffs on Highstar’s battery components will not be at the same levels as import tariffs on entire, complete battery packs, and that therefore assembling imported Highstar battery components and manufacturing batteries in the United States under the Company’s label will still be competitive.

 

Pursuant to the Supply Agreement, we agreed to use our best efforts to secure financing to fund Phase 2, and prior to such funding, we would negotiate with Highstar in good faith to reach an agreement to include: (i) Highstar’s granting of a license within in the United States, Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean islands of its proprietary battery cell manufacturing technology to us; and (ii) our issuance of a minority equity ownership posision in the Company to Highstar or a third party entity designated by Highstar. As of the date of this Offering Circular, we do not have a separate license agreement providing for the license arrangement described in this paragraph.

 

We currently anticipate the below timeframes for the various phases of development of our Manufacturing Facility referenced in the Supply Agreement: (i) Phase 1B: August of 2024 to October of 2024; (ii) Phase 2: October of 2024 to October of 2025; and (iii) Phase 3: October of 2025 to April of 2026. These timeframes remain subject to change.

 

For a more detailed discussion of the terms of the Supply Agreement, see “Item 8 – Description of Business” above. The Supply Agreement is filed as Exhibit 6.1 hereto.

 

Our business alliance with Highstar gives us access to Highstar’s proprietary battery technology and the ability to sell and manufacture battery products under our own brand label. Last year, Highstar generated approximately $50 million in revenue from selling battery packs to U.S. customers, and we anticipate that we will benefit significantly from Highstar’s introduction to and referral of its North American clients to us.

 

Some Considerations

 

There is the possibility that technological advances may render the above-mentioned technology obsolete or less competitive. For that reason, and in order to keep up with technological changes and evolving industry standards within the lithium-based battery market, the Company plans to maintain a continuous program of research and development in the alternative energy area. Towards this end, the Company is currently negotiating for the licensing and/or acquisition of innovative solid-state lithium battery technology and solar energy technology.  Our ability to adapt to evolving industry standards and anticipate future standards will be a significant factor in maintaining and improving our competitive position and our prospects for growth. 

 

If we are not sufficiently funded, it will be difficult to implement its business plan. If we are unable to meet our future capital requirements, our ability to grow might be limited and it could have a materially adverse effect on our financial position and operations. Towards that end, the Company has engaged outside financial experts and specialized organizations to assist it in securing the requisite funding for its purposes.

 

Based on current political realities - e.g., the present state of relations between the United States and China - there is the distinct possibility that our ability to fulfill orders could be adversely impacted.  Therefore, the Company is developing secondary sources for all components so as to be independent of disruptions in the supply chain.

Liquidity and Capital Resources    

 

At present, the Company requires additional funding in order to fully implement its business plans. The Company is addressing its capital requirements by raising money from the following sources: capital contributions of principals, investment from private investors, including, but not limited to the present Offering and through the issuance of equity, equity-related or debt securities and through obtaining credit from financial institutions in the future.

 

As of December 31, 2023, the Company’s commitments for capital expenditures included: (i) a monthly payment of approximately $45,000 for building and utilities on the leased premises in Norfolk, Virginia; (ii) a $3,000,000 equipment purchase for which monthly payments are due over the course of 24 months; and (iii) yearly salaries for employees and payments to third-party consultants, which salaries total approximately $3,000,000 per annum.

  

Plan of Operations

 

We will commence manufacturing operations in the Manufacturing Facility after delivery and installation of equipment and materials, which is currently anticipated to be in August of 2024. Starting with a modest, but realistic, product line ensures that the Company’s battery products are compliant with our safety standards and meet our quality expectations while offering reliable and cost-effective technology solutions to consumers.

 

After the anticipated delivery of our equipment and materials to the Manufacturing Facility in the summer of 2024, we expect to begin manufacturing our products in October of 2024. We expect that our initial production capacity will be approximately 70,000 units, or up to 700 megawatt hours (MWh) batteries per year. This level of production translates to approximately $100 million in revenue based on a current market pricing of $150 per kilowatt hour.

 

In and after 2025, we plan to add additional production lines to our business, customize battery packs for new customers, start manufacturing battery cells, and secure domestic sources for Lithium and other battery components. We plan to initiate and use second and third production lines of equipment once our initial production line is functioning at peak efficiency at the requisite quality and safety levels.

 

We expect that the proceeds from this Offering will be adequate to satisfy our cash requirements for the twelve months following commencement of the Offering.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements. 

 

Trend Information  

 

The Company is currently in the process of building out its manufacturing facility, and has yet to quantify any trends in production, sales or inventory. For the current financial year, completing the build-out and installing the assembly line is a necessary precursor to a comprehensive sales effort. While no significant delays are anticipated, the following events/uncertainties could have a material impact on sales, affecting revenues:

 

1.Construction delays: Pertaining to the availability of local labor and construction materials needed to complete the factory build-out, any unforeseen event affecting construction schedule would delay revenues in the near term.

 

2.Shipping delays: Shipment of manufacturing equipment/assembly line is being coordinated in conjunction with the factory construction. Any geopolitical or logistical event that negatively impacts international freight shipping would delay initial revenues in the near term.

 

Congruent with these logistical factors, the Company’s need for additional capital funding is another factor which might affect near term revenues; delays in further capitalization might postpone revenues and impact the company’s financial position.

 

Absent a significant and relevant operating history, it is difficult to predict future operating results. While a strong demand for the Company’s products is certain, falling short of achieving economic success through the sale of its products would adversely affect the Company’s financial performance.

SECURITIES BEING OFFERED

 

General

 

The following description summarizes important terms of the Shares. This summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the provisions of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation and bylaws (“Bylaws”), which have been filed as exhibits to the Offering Statement. For more detailed information, please refer to these documents, which are attached to the Offering Statement as exhibits.

 

As of the date of this Offering Circular, the Company is authorized to issue 160,000,000 shares of capital stock in the aggregate, consisting of: (i) 150,000,000 Shares (36,007,641 of which are issued and outstanding) and (iii) 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock (of which 1,000 are designated as Series A Preferred Stock and 1,000 are issued and outstanding).

 

We have not paid either a cash dividend or a stock dividend; effected a recapitalization of our securities; entered into a merger; acquired any material asset, partnership, or corporation; effected a spin-off; or performed a reorganization from the date of our formation. With the exception of the contemplated acquisition of material assets, as described in this Offering Circular, no such acts or activities are being contemplated for the future.

 

This Offering relates to the offer and sale of up to 2,000,000 Shares at $10 per Share.

  

Shares

 

Number Offered in the Offering. The number of Shares subject to the Offering is 2,000,000.

 

40

 

 

As of the date of this Offering Circular, 36,007,641 shares of Shares are issued and outstanding.

 

Voting Rights. The holders of Shares are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders. By contrast, holders of our Series A Preferred Stock have supervoting rights, having 10,000 votes per share held.

 

Dividend Rights. Holders of Shares are entitled to receive, ratably with holders of the Shares, those dividends, if any, that may be declared from time to time by the Board out of legally available funds.

 

Liquidation Rights. In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, holders of Shares would be entitled to share ratably, with holders of the Shares and Series A Preferred Stock, in the net assets legally available for distribution to holders of the Shares and Series A Preferred Stock after the payment of all of our debts and other liabilities.

 

Other Rights. Holders of Shares have no preemptive, conversion or subscription rights, nor do any redemption or sinking fund provisions apply to the Shares. The rights, preferences, and privileges of the holders of Shares would be subject to, and could be adversely affected by, the rights of holders of shares of a class of capital stock to be issued in the future (although the Company has no current plans to do so) or to the rights of holders of shares of a series of preferred stock.

 

Shares Eligible for Future Sale

 

As of the date of this Offering Circular, no class of our capital stock has any public market, and no such capital stock are traded on any exchange or on an over-the-counter (OTC) market or quotation service. We can provide no assurance that the Shares will ever be listed on a stock exchange or quoted on an OTC market or other quotation service. We currently do not intend to seek trading privileges at any stock exchange, OTC market or quotation service.

  

We cannot predict the effect, if any, that market sales of Shares, or the availability of Shares for sale, will have on their prevailing market price from time to time. Nevertheless, sales of a substantial number of the Shares, including the issuance of Shares upon the exercise of options or warrants outstanding at the time, or the perception that any such sales or issuances could take place in the public market after this Offering concludes, could adversely affect market prices prevailing from time to time and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of our equity securities.

 

If all offered 2,000,000 Shares are sold in this Offering, at least 38,007,641 Shares will be outstanding, together with an indeterminate number of Bonus Shares. The number of Shares in the preceding sentence expected to be outstanding upon completion of this Offering assumes: (i) the sale of 2,000,000 Shares, the maximum offered for sale during the Offering; and (ii) the issuance of no Bonus Shares.

 

Trading Suspensions; Administrative Actions

 

Neither the Company nor its officers or directors are, and at no time have any of them been, subject to any trading suspension order or any other type of administrative action or order issued by the Commission or FINRA.

 

LEGAL MATTERS

 

Certain legal matters with respect to the Shares will be passed upon by the law firm of Sichenzia Ross Ference Carmel LLP, New York, New York.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

 

To the Board of Directors and Management of

Lion Power Systems, Inc

 

We have audited the financial statements of Lion Power Systems (NV), Inc., (“LPS”) as of inception, which comprise the balance sheet as of December 31, 2023, and the related statements of income, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the fiscal years then ended and the related notes to the financial statements.

 

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of LPS as of December 31, 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the fiscal years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Emphasis of Matter Regarding Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statement has been prepared assuming that the company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the company has incurred losses from inception and has not yet commenced it principal operations and has indicated that substantial doubt exists about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s evaluation of the events and conditions and management’s plans regarding these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statement does not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Our conclusion is not modified with respect to this matter.

 

Basis for our Opinion

 

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of LPS and have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audit. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

 

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

 

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the 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 the financial statements that are free from material misstatement whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing LPS’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are available to be issued.

 

Auditor’s Responsibility for the Audit of the Financial Statements

 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decision of users made on the basis of these financial statements. As part of an audit in accordance with GAAS, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional skepticism through the audit. We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in internal control that we identified during our audit.

 

Emphasis of a Matter - Subsequent Event

 

As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, on August 21, 2024, the Company provided additional information regarding on stockholders equity which may not materially impact its financial operations. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

 

Dual-Dated Auditor’s Report

 

Our opinion is dated March 01, 2024, except for Note 2, as to which the date is August 21, 2024.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

A summary of the Company’s significant accounting policies was consistently applied in the preparation of the accompanying financial statement.

 

Nature of Business

 

Lion Power Systems (NV), Inc. is an American alternative energy company founded and incorporated in Nevada on April, 13, 2023 to bring to market products based on Lithium-ion battery technology.

 

In July of 2023, the Company entered into an arrangement with Jiangsu Highstar Battery Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (Highstar), a major manufacturer of Ni-MH batteries, Ni-CD batteries, Lithium-polymer and Li-ion batteries, as well as battery cells, parts, related materials. Under an exclusive License Agreement, Lion owns the exclusive right to sell, distribute and manufacture battery packs based on Highstar’s proprietary technologies in North America, Mexico and the Caribbean islands. Highstar has spent tens of millions of dollars and decades to develop this technology.

 

As its inaugural product, based on breakthrough lithium materials chemistry and ground-breaking system design, LPS now offers game-changing energy storage solutions that deliver a combination of high power, excellent safety and long life with a range of applications, including:

 

Solar power solutions

 

Microgrids

 

Home energy storage

 

Golfcarts

 

RVs

 

Marine

 

Industrial batteries

 

Additionally, LPS has the capability and the flexibility to tailor any battery configuration to address the customer’s unique needs. LPS offers innovative and customized energy storage solutions that pave the way for a greener and more efficient future, and which help to reduce the human impact on the environment.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (‘GAAP”). In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. All such adjustments are normal and recurring in nature. The company’s fiscal year-end is December 31.

 

F-7

 

 

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUATION)

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014- 01, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” which outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers (ASC Topic 606) and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance (ASC Topic 605). ASC Topic 606 outlines the following five- step process for revenue recognition:

 

Identification of the contract with a customer.

 

Identification of the performance obligations in the contract.

 

Determination of the transaction price.

 

Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and

 

Recognition of revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies the performance obligations.

 

The Company primarily records revenue from its long-term construction projects and service contracts over time as various performance obligations are fulfilled. As of the date of these financial statements, the Company has generated or recognized $0.00 in revenue, and has not executed any revenue producing contracts.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) guidance specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect market assumptions. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

Income Tax Uncertainties

 

The Company follows FASB guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, disclosed and presented in the financial statements. This requires the evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Company’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” of being sustained “when challenged” or “when examined” by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-then-not threshold would be recorded as a tax expense and liability in the current year. Management evaluated the Company’s tax position and concluded that the Company had taken no uncertain tax positions that require adjustment to the financial statements to comply with the provisions of this guidance.

 

Equipment and Vehicles

 

Construction Equipment and Vehicles is recorded at cost. The cost of equipment and vehicles is depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Depreciation is computed using the Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS) for financial as well as for income tax basis. Office equipment has an estimated useful life of approximately five (5) years vehicles have an estimated useful life of approximately five (5) years and furniture and fixtures have estimated useful life of approximately seven (7) years.

 

Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations when incurred. Betterment and renewals are capitalized. When property, plant and equipment is sold or otherwise disposed of, the assets account and related account are relieved, and any gain or loss is included in operations.

 

Credit Risk and Concentrations

 

Financial Instruments with potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist primarily of cash and accounts receivable. The company extends credit to customers after an evaluation of credit worthiness; however, the Company does not require collateral or other security from its customers. The Company maintains its cash in an FDIC financial institution.

Deferred Taxes

 

Deferred Taxes is provided on the deferral method in respect of timing differences between profits as computed for taxation purposes and profits as stated in the financial statements, to the extent that the liability is expected to be payable in the foreseeable future. Deferred income taxes arise from timing differences resulting from income and expense items reported for financial accounting and tax purposes in different periods. In lieu of corporation income taxes, the shareholders of an “S” corporation are taxed on their proportionate share of the company’s taxable income. Therefore, no provision of liability for federal and state income taxes has been included in these financial statements. Accordingly, there are no deferred taxes as well.
