PART I

  

 

When we use the terms “Kid Castle,” “KDCE,” “we,” “us,” “our,” and “the company,” we mean Kid Castle Educational Corporation, a Delaware corporation.

 

Kid Castle Educational Corporation, a Delaware corporation, (“Kid Castle,” “the Company,” “We,” “KDCE,” "Us" or “Our’) intends to operate and manage biopharmaceutical, agricultural and "pure-play" CBD assets that are (or could be) vertically integrated and "2018 Farm Bill" compliant in the United States of America. Kid Castle engages in rollup and consolidation of CBD and Biopharma assets and operations.  The Company seeks make and sell pharmaceuticals and non-pharmaceutical CBD products across the United States of America.    A “Farm Bill” compliant business is one that strictly cultivates and utilizes “hemp” as specified by the Bill.  The 2018 Farm Bill legalized production of hemp for all … allowing for full-scale commercial production of hemp as provided in the Bill.  https://www.ams.usda.gov/sites/default/files/HempExecSumandLegalOpinion.pdf.  

 

The current structure of the Company resulted from a purchase of voting control of the Company by Cannabinoid Biosciences, Inc. (CBDZ), which CBDZ spun out to its shareholders prior to becoming an operating subsidiary of Kid Castle.  

 

After the closing of the transaction, Cannabinoid Biosciences, Inc.’s board voted to spin the shares out to its shareholders.  Cannabinoid Biosciences, Inc. itself was then sold to the Company to become its operating subsidiary.  The Company bought 96% of outstanding shares of voting common stocks of Cannabinoid Biosciences, Inc. for $1.00.  The primary reason for the acquisition was to help the Company to gain entrance into the CBD industry.

 

We used the acquisition method of accounting (also known as business combination accounting) for acquisition of subsidiaries by the Group method to account for the purchase of Cannabinoid Biosciences, Inc. The cost of the acquisition was measured as the fair value of the assets given, equity instruments issued and liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of exchange.

 

Prior to the above mentioned change of control transaction, Kid Castle used to be a Florida corporation until the company voluntarily dissolved its Florida registration with intention to simultaneously incorporate in Delaware and convert into a Delaware corporation.  Although the company immediately finalized its registration effort to convert into a Delaware Corporation, the company’s registered agent who was supposed to submit the registration package to the Delaware Secretary of State for certification, failed to make a timely submission.  Later in January 2019, when the company realized that the Delaware incorporation/registration package/process was never submitted to the Delaware Secretary of State nor completed in any other way or form, the Company went ahead and resubmitted the required registration package and was then formally re-incorporated in Delaware and convert into a Delaware corporation.   Thus, the company was formally incorporated in Delaware and converted into a Delaware Corporation in January 2019.

 

The re-incorporation in Delaware, which occurred in January 2019, has placed at risk, voidable and unenforceable, all and any liabilities that may have accrued, including any material agreements the Company may have executed during the period between March 22, 2011 and January 2019.  To the best of our knowledge, no such liabilities that were accrued and no material agreement were entered into by the company during the period between March 22, 2011 and January 2019.  In addition, there could be penalties or legal liabilities that may have accrued as a result of conducting business from 2011 to 2019 without properly registering with any State. To the best of our knowledge, as at November 27, 2020, no such penalties or liabilities has accrued to the company accrued as a result of conducting business from 2011 to 2019 without properly registering with any State. However, there is no guarantee that such penalties or liabilities would not accrue or arise in the future.

 

On January 21, 2020, we received notification about their decision to suspend trading in the securities of “Kid Castle Education Corporation (“KDCE” or “the company”) (CIK No. 1049011) due to questions and concerns about: (1) the adequacy and accuracy of publicly available information concerning KDCE’s current corporate control and its operations in the marketplace, including in filings with the Commission made on October 25, November 5, November 14, November 18, and November 27, 2019, as amended on December 6, 2019; and (2) recent, unusual and unexplained market activity in the company’s stock, including, but not limited to, activity between October 25 and October 28, 2019.”

 

Upon the receipt of the notification, we called the number listed on the letter to speak with the SEC staff listed.  We explained to them that our involvement with KDCE started on October 21, 2019 when gained control of KDCE, and that prior to that date, neither us nor any of our officers and shareholders own or sold shares of KDCE. We did not have any idea or information about whatever happened with KDCE and its common stock until October 21, 2019.  We explained that by the time on the unusual price movement in the stock, we did not even have access to the shareholders’ list and none of our officers or directors have any shares of KDCE to sell.  We spoke to three staff who told us to wait for a formal request from their office. 

 

We received the form letter from the Division of Enforcement on February 18, 2020 to immediately preserve, and voluntarily provide them with, the information and documents listed on the request.  We promptly complied with the request, gathered all the requested information and documents and submitted them to the SEC Division of Enforcement on March 2, 2020.

 

None of our current officers owned shares of KDCE prior to, and immediately after the transaction of October 21, 2019.  None of our officers sold shares of KDCE during the period in question.  Due diligence performed by our current officers and directors with respect to the acquisition of control of KDCE was limited to reading KDCE’s previously filed information on the SEC website. Our current officers and directors have no hand in the formation and corporate history until October 21, 2019.  Our current officers and directors did not own of trade shares, or participate in the events leading to the suspension order.

 

 

Corporate History

 

Kid Castle Educational Corporation (“KDCE”) was the result of a share exchange transaction, commonly referred to as a reverse merger, pursuant to which shareholders of an offshore operating company take control of a U.S. company that has no operations (commonly referred to as a shell company), and the offshore operating company becomes a subsidiary of the U.S. company. In KDCE case, the offshore company was Higoal Developments Ltd., which was the parent company of Kid Castle Internet Technologies Limited and Kid Castle Education Software Development Co. Limited, KDCE’s operating companies that run our English language instruction business. The U.S. or shell company, at the time of the share exchange, was King Ball International Technology Corporation.

 

The details of KDCE corporate history are as follows. KDCE was incorporated in Florida on July 19, 1985 as Omni Doors, Inc. From inception through June 30, 1998, our primary business was the assembly and distribution of industrial doors for sale to building contractors in the South Florida market. Until April 6, 1998, we were a wholly-owned subsidiary of Millennia, Inc., a publicly-owned Delaware corporation. On April 6, 1998, the Board of Directors of Millennia declared the payment of a stock dividend to Millennia’s stockholders. Millennia stockholders received one share of our common stock for each four shares of Millennia common stock. This distribution of approximately 570,000 shares of our company represented approximately 5% of the total issued and outstanding shares of our common stock.

 

Pursuant to a contract dated July 14, 1998, Millennia sold 10,260,000 shares (representing 90% of the total outstanding shares) of our common stock to an unrelated firm, China Economic Growth Investment Corp., LLC, which then distributed the shares to its three members, Yong Chen, Zuxiang Huang, and Zheng Yao.

 

On April 6, 2001, pursuant to a stock purchase agreement dated April 2, 2001, Halter Capital Corporation, a privately-owned Texas corporation, purchased 6,822,900 shares of our common stock from Zheng Yao, representing approximately 60% of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock. Simultaneously with this change-in-control transaction, Sophia Yao, our then sole officer and director, resigned. Kevin B. Halter, Sr., as President and director, and Kevin B. Halter, Jr., as Secretary-Treasurer and director, were elected to replace her.

 

On June 19, 2002, pursuant to a stock purchase agreement dated June 6, 2002, Powerlink International Finance, Inc., a British Virgin Islands corporation, purchased 2,830,926 shares of our common stock from Halter Capital Corporation, representing approximately 57% of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock. Simultaneously with the purchase, the officers and directors of the Company resigned. Chin-Chung Hsu, President, Treasurer, and Director; Wen-Hao Hsu, Secretary and Director; and Chien-Hwa Liu, Director, were elected to replace them.

 

On June 25, 2002, we changed our name to King Ball International Technology Corporation and, on August 22, 2002, we changed our name again to Kid Castle Educational Corporation.

 

On March 29, 2010, the Company which has been a public reporting company registered with the Securities Exchange Commissioner (“SEC”), filed Form 15D, Suspension of Duty to Report.  As a result of filing Form 15D, the Company was no longer required to file any SEC forms since March 29, 2010.  Similarly, on March 22, 2011, the company voluntarily dissolved its Florida registration with intention to simultaneously incorporate in Delaware and convert into a Delaware corporation.   The Company has been dormant since March 22, 2011and non-operating since March 29, 2010.

 

On October 21, 2019, pursuant to a stock purchase agreement dated October 2, 2019, Cannabinoid Biosciences, Inc., a California corporation, purchased one (1) million shares of its preferred shares (one preferred share is convertible 1,000 share of common stocks) of the Company, representing  97.82% of our total issued and outstanding voting shares of common stock and preferred stock. Simultaneously with the purchase, the officers and directors of the Company resigned. Frank I Igwealor, Chairman and CEO, Secretary, Treasurer, and Director; Patience C Ogbozor, Director; and Dr. Solomon SK Mbagwu, MD, Director, were elected to replace them. Following the share sales to Cannabinoid Biosciences, Inc., the purchaser converted 900,000 of the preferred shares for 900,000,000 shares of the Company's current outstanding shares of common stock. 

 

Cannabinoid Biosciences, Inc. (“CBDZ”), a California corporation was incorporated on May 6, 2014, to operate as a biotechnology and specialty pharmaceutical holding company that engages in the discovery, development, and commercialization of cures and novel therapeutics from proprietary cannabinoid, cannabidiol, endocannabinoids, phytocannabinoids, and synthetic cannabinoids product platform suitable for specific treatments in a broad range of disease areas. CBDZ engages in biopharmaceutical research and development operation with aim of identifying viable drug candidates to go into clinical trials and if successful, be submitted to the FDA for approval.   Because the Company is young and has limited or no resources, and the legal CBD industry is still in its infancy (following the 2018 Farm Bill), the Company lack of resources is likely to affect its ability to bring an industry-wide reform as contemplated above.  It would be difficult for the Company to raise the necessary capital to achieve its goals.

 

Following the consummation of the October 21, 2019 transactions, the Company decided to restart filing important information immediately.  The Company also decided to formally restart being a public reporting company following an audit of its financial statements by a PCAOB-registered auditor.

 

Business Overview

 

Kid Castle engages in rollup and consolidation of CBD and Biopharma assets and operations.  The Company seeks make and sell pharmaceuticals and non-pharmaceutical CBD products across the United States of America.  The Company is focused on the legal CBD business: (1) Ownership interest in certain businesses that extract, purchase and distribute Bulk Pure CBD, Isolate, Hemp Oil, THC-free CBD Distillate and Crude CBD Oil; (2) Partnerships with local farmers to grow farm bill compliant hemp biomass; (3) Partnerships with extract facilities across the U.S. who manufacture hemp-based ingredients to meet specific medical needs.  The Company would seeks to control the manufacturing/production and distribution of verities of consumer cannabidiol (CBD) formulation under private brands in the United States by controlling process through steps that include (a) ethanol extraction system, (b) winterization to remove fats; (c) multiple rounds of rotary evaporation are used to remove plant material and other unnecessary components; (d) extract decarboxylation to transform into a crystalline structure; and (e) get the extract tested by third-party laboratories, package it, and get it ready for shipment.

 

As at the date of this filing, the Company does not currently, nor does it intend, in the future to, maintain an ownership interest in any cannabis growing, marijuana dispensaries or production facilities. The Company only targets businesses that are focused on Hemp-based CBD products, which are “Farm Bill” compliant. The Company does not grow, process, own, handle, transport, or sell cannabis or marijuana as the Company is organized and directed to operate strictly in accordance with all applicable state and federal laws.  A “Farm Bill” compliant business is one that strictly cultivate and utilize “hemp” as specified by the Bill.  The 2018 Farm Bill legalized production of hemp for all … allowing for full-scale commercial production of hemp as provided in the Bill.  https://www.ams.usda.gov/sites/default/files/HempExecSumandLegalOpinion.pdf

 

In late 2019, the Company through its subsidiary CBDZ, acquired two CBD marketplaces (websites for e-commerce) that it intends to further develop and monetize in the near future.  One of the two marketplaces, www.cbdhempextra.com is down and awaiting updates, the second marketplace, www.cannabidiolhemp.net is up and running but has not been monetized and is currently generating no revenue.  We believe that lots of development work is still needed before we could monetize the site. 

 

We anticipate that once operational, these marketplaces would start conducting CBD products referral in which CBD manufacturers would pay the Company for referring customers.  We anticipate the marketplaces to become functional and revenue generating within 18 months of us having the capital to staff our e-commerce department.  We believe that the cost of staffing e-commerce department of two staff would cost $135,000 annually based on the going rate for webmasters in Southern California.

 

While operating a CBD marketplace is important to our business plan, it is not a deal breaker.  In our acquisition plan, we intend to buy and consolidate viable revenue-generating CBD websites with a goal of consolidating and growing them.   

                                                                                                                                              

Furthermore, during the last quarter of 2019, we entered into nonbinding Letter of Intent (LOIs) with 5 CBD operations to acquire their businesses. None of these businesses sells or manages cannabis-related or marijuana related products.  The businesses are focused on “Farm Bill” compliant Hemp-based CBD products.  A “Farm Bill” compliant business is one that strictly cultivate and utilize “hemp” as specified by the Bill.  The 2018 Farm Bill legalized production of hemp for all… allowing for full-scale commercial production of hemp as provided in the Bill.  https://www.ams.usda.gov/sites/default/files/HempExecSumandLegalOpinion.pdf.  Each of these businesses is producing revenue and each operation is profitable. These five revenue producing and profitable businesses would cost the Company about $33.4 million to consummate the acquisitions.  The five businesses comprise of: (1) a Colorado based CBD Affiliate Marketplace, which is a website that sells but does not manufacture CBD products, this website would cost the Company $300,000 to acquire; (2) a company that is owner of Hemp farms and extraction facilities Colorado and Kentucky, the seller owns the real estate on which the farms and extraction facilities are situated, purchasing this business with its real estate, farms and extraction facilities would cost the Company $30,000,000; (3) a Michigan based hemp farm and CBD extraction plant, the business owns the real estate on which the farms and extraction facilities are situated, purchasing this business with its real estate, farms and extraction facilities would cost the Company $1,600,000; 4) a North Carolina based Hemp grower and CDB extraction technology with real estate selling for $1,300,000; and (5) another CBD Affiliate Marketplace (website that sells CBD products for manufacturers for a percentage of the purchase price as referral fees), which would cost the Company $30,000 to acquire.  With the LOIs in hand, we approached some professional finance guys to help us raise the money for the acquisition. There is no guarantee that we could raise the capital needed for this acquisition or that the sellers would wait for us to raise the capital.

 

Subsequently, as we were pulling together financing for the acquisition, COVID-19 exploded and crippled most business transactions across the world. As a result of the disruptions occasioned by COVID-19, the operations of our major financier coming from New York and London came under the lockdown.  We have informed the sellers about this situation and advised that they move on to other potential acquirers as we are completely uncertain about the where things would be after the end of COVID-19 pandemic. 

 

Because of COVID-19 we were unable to obtain the financing necessary to make the acquisition of the businesses mentioned above. There is no guarantee that we could be able to acquire one or more of those businesses. In addition, there is no guarantee that these businesses would still be available to us to acquire in the future, or at the initially contemplated price.  As at the date of this filing, we believe that above targeted acquisitions would no longer be probable because of the impact of COVID-19.

 

Completed Acquisitions

 

On November 15, 2019, for $499.00 in cash payment, Kid Castle Educational Corporation, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Cannabinoid Biosciences, Inc. completed the acquisition of CannabidiolHemp (CannabidiolHemp.net), a website for CBD quality aggregator and standard validator.  The company believes this acquisition would help it to build Kid Castle into a major “pure-play” CBD operation in the United States and Canada.  The Company hoped that CBD distribution channel, like CannabidiolHemp, would help it to become a vertically integrated “pure-play” CBD operation in the United States.  However, so far, the Company’s hopes and projections on establishing a vertically integrated “pure-play” CBD operation has not materialized because of the business disruptions caused by COVID-19.  Because of COVID-19 we were unable to obtain the financing necessary to make the acquisition of the businesses we needed to achieve our objective. And there is no guarantee that we could be able to acquire one or more businesses in the future.  So far, the acquisition of CannabidiolHemp had not resulted in any revenue or profit to the Company.

 

Our Business Objectives and Growth Strategies

 

Our principal business objective is to maximize stockholder returns through a combination of (1) acquisition and rollup of profitable CBD operations across the United States of America (2) sustainable long-term growth in cash flows from increased profits, which we hope to pass on to stockholders in the form of distributions, and (3) potential long-term appreciation in the value of our businesses through process optimization and financial engineering.

In addition, there is no guarantee that viable businesses would still be available to us to acquire in the future, or at reasonable price. 

 

Mission Statement

 

Our vision is to manufacture and sell pharmaceuticals and non-pharmaceutical CBD products formulations and applications across the United States.  Our goal is to make and sell CBD products across the United States of America. 

 

There is no guarantee that we could successfully make and sell pharmaceuticals and non-pharmaceutical CBD products formulations and applications.  Our mission as stated above is only a guiding principle as we start our acquisition.  We have never made nor sold pharmaceuticals or non-pharmaceutical CBD products formulations and applications before.  Although we have a theoretical picture of what our mission called for, none of our staff have ever done it before.  As at the date of this filing, the Company does not currently maintain an ownership interest in any cannabis-related CBD production company, marijuana dispensaries or production facilities.  The Company only targets businesses that are focused on Hemp-based CBD products, which are “Farm Bill” compliant.  A “Farm Bill” compliant business is one that strictly cultivates and utilizes “hemp” as specified by the Bill.  The 2018 Farm Bill legalized production of hemp for all … allowing for full-scale commercial production of hemp as provided in the Bill.  https://www.ams.usda.gov/sites/default/files/HempExecSumandLegalOpinion.pdf.

 

 

 

 

STRATEGY

 

Keys to Success

 

Management Experience

 

Our experienced management team has a combined thirty-two years of successful experience in finance and legal Cannabis industry in California. Cannabinoid Biosciences intends to launch its array of investments and rollup in the CBD/Hemp industry across the United States as soon as it had raised enough capital to consummate an acquisition of a CBD operation that generates significant revenue. 

 

Early mover advantage

 

The CBD market in the US is very fragmented, lack established process control and protocols, and is without formulations standardization.  Through acquisition, the Company intend to enter the following areas of the legal CBD business: (1) Ownership interest in certain businesses that extract, purchase and distribute Bulk Pure CBD, Isolate, Hemp Oil, THC-free CBD Distillate and Crude CBD Oil; (2) Partnerships with local farmers to grow Farm- Bill compliant hemp biomass; (3) Partnerships with extract facilities across the U.S. who manufacture hemp-based ingredients to meet specific medical.

 

There are no guarantees that we would be able to raise the capital needed to make any acquisition of CBD operations, though. Because the Company has limited or no resources, and the legal CBD industry is still in its infancy (following the 2018 Farm Bill), the Company lack of resources is likely to affect its ability to accomplish its goals as contemplated above.  It would be difficult for the Company to raise the necessary capital to achieve its goals.

 

Special Purpose Entities

 

When the Company does acquire businesses and operating assets, it intends to hold title to the properties through separate LLCs or through special purpose entities (“SPE’s”) holding several similar asset types. Each separate LLC or SPE will be a 100% wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. If a joint venture is undertaken, the Company will record a first position deed instead of holding actual title.

 

 

Leverage

 

Leverage represents an important vehicle for maximizing returns. The Company will evaluate the appropriate amount of debt based on market conditions, feasibility of the project, and determined risk. The Company does not have any credit agreements with any lender as at the date of this filing.  We may incur indebtedness in the form of bank borrowings, purchase money obligations to the sellers of properties and publicly or privately placed debt instruments or financing from institutional investors or other lenders. The indebtedness may be secured or unsecured. Security may be in the form of mortgages or other interests in our properties; equity interests in entities which own our properties or investments; cash or cash equivalents; securities; letters of credit; guarantees or a security interest in one or more of our other assets.

 

The Company may use borrowing proceeds to finance acquisitions of new businesses or operations, make other investments, trade in stocks, futures, options and forex, make payments to the officers and management, pay for capital improvements, repairs, refinance existing indebtedness, pay distributions or provide working capital. The form of our indebtedness may be long-term or short-term debt or in the form of a revolving credit facility.

 

Our Financing Strategy

 

As part of our plan to finance our activities, we utilize proceeds from debt and equity offerings to fund acquisition, purchases and restructuring activities. 

 

We do not have positive operating cash flow.  However, we intend to make acquisitions that would generate positive operating cash flow in the near future.  We intend to meet our long-term liquidity needs through cash flow from operations and the issuance of equity and debt securities, including common stock and long-term notes. Where possible, we also may issue limited partnership interests in future Operating Partnership and use the proceeds to acquire businesses from existing owners. We expect to issue equity and debt securities at times when we believe that our stock price is at a level that allows for the reinvestment of offering proceeds in accretive business assets and property acquisitions. We may also issue common stock to permanently finance businesses that were previously financed by debt securities. However, since we have never done any of the above before, we cannot assure you that we will have access to the capital markets at times and on terms that are acceptable to us. Our ability to access the capital markets and to obtain other financing arrangements is also significantly limited by our involvement in the Hemp/CBD industry.

 

We may file a shelf registration statement, which would subsequently be declared effective by the SEC, which may permit us, from time to time, to offer and sell common stock, preferred stock, warrants and other securities to the extent necessary or advisable to meet our liquidity needs.

 

 

Risk Management

 

We intend to embrace geographic and portfolio diversification at acquisitions as our main risk management strategy. We intend to diversify the investment size and location of our portfolio businesses in order to manage our portfolio-level risk. Over the long term, we intend that no single business will exceed 25% of our total assets.

 

Above plan notwithstanding, we do not currently have any investment portfolio yet and there is no guarantee that we would be able to establish one in the future because the Company has limited or no resources at the present. 

 

Competition

 

The current market for CBD operations that meet our investment objectives is limited. In addition, we believe finding businesses that are appropriate for our specific purpose may be limited as more competitors enter the market.

 

These competitors may prevent us from acquiring desirable businesses or may cause an increase in the price we must pay for businesses. Our competitors may have greater financial and operational resources than we do and may be willing to pay more for certain assets or may be willing to accept more risk than we believe can be prudently managed. In particular, larger companies may enjoy significant competitive advantages that result from, among other things, a lower cost of capital and enhanced operating efficiencies. Our competitors may also adopt transaction structures similar to ours, which would decrease our competitive advantage in offering flexible transaction terms. In addition, due to a number of factors, the number of entities and the amount of funds competing for suitable investment CBD businesses may increase substantially, resulting in increased demand and increased prices paid for these businesses. If we pay higher prices for businesses, our profitability may decrease, and you may experience a lower return on our common stock. Increased competition for businesses may also preclude us from acquiring those businesses that would generate attractive returns to us.

 

Insurance

 

We carry comprehensive general liability coverage on our communities, with limits of liability customary within the multi-family businesses industry to insure against liability claims and related defense costs. We are also insured, with limits of liability customary within the real estate industry, against the risk of direct physical damage in amounts necessary to reimburse us on a replacement cost basis for costs incurred to repair or rebuild each property, including loss of rental income during the reconstruction period.

 

Our primary lines of insurance coverage are property, general liability and workers’ compensation. We believe that our insurance coverages adequately insure our multifamily businesses against the risk of loss attributable to fire, earthquake, hurricane, tornado, flood, terrorism and other perils, and adequately insure us against other risk. Our coverage includes deductibles, retentions and limits that are customary in the industry. We have established loss prevention, loss mitigation, claims handling and litigation management procedures to manage our exposure.

 

Seasonality

 

Our business has not been, and we do not expect it to become subject to, material seasonal fluctuations.

 

Trademarks

 

We do not own any trademark or patents As of December 31, 2020 and 2019.

 

Employees

 

As of December 31, 2020, Cannabinoid Biosciences, Inc., an operating subsidiary of the Company’s employees comprised six (6) employees who managed the affairs of the parent corporation and the operations of the subsidiaries. On an as needed basis, the Company hires independent contractors to perform specific tasks related to the Company’s business interests.

Certain factors may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. You should consider carefully the risks and uncertainties described below, in addition to other information contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, including our consolidated financial statements and related notes. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties that we are unaware of, or that we currently believe are not material, may also become important factors that adversely affect our business. If any of the following risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition, results of operations, and future prospects could be materially and adversely affected. In that event, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you could lose part or all of your investment.

 

For purposes of this section, the term "stockholders" means the holders of shares of Kid Castle Educational Corporation’s common stock. Set forth below are the risks that we believe are material to Kid Castle Educational Corporation’s stockholders. You should carefully consider the following factors in evaluating our Company, our businesses and our business. 

 

Our business, operating results, cash flows and financial condition are subject to various risks and uncertainties, including, without limitation, those set forth below, any one of which could cause our actual operating results to vary materially from recent results or from our anticipated future results.

 

Risks Related to Our Business

 

Our inability to timely submit registration package to the Delaware Secretary of State until in 2019 presents a risk that  any liabilities that may have accrued, including any material agreements may be unenforceable, as a result of the failure to properly register with the State of Delaware until in 2019.

 

The Company used to be a Florida corporation until March 22, 2011 when it voluntarily dissolved its Florida registration with intention to simultaneously incorporate in Delaware and convert into a Delaware corporation.  Although the company immediately finalized its registration effort to convert into a Delaware Corporation, the company’s registered agent who was supposed to submit the registration package to the Delaware Secretary of State for certification, failed to make a timely submission.  Later in January 2019, when the company realized that the Delaware incorporation/registration package/process was never submitted to the Delaware Secretary of State nor completed in any other way or form, the Company went ahead and resubmitted the required registration package and was then formally re-incorporated in Delaware and convert into a Delaware corporation.  

 

The re-incorporation in Delaware, which occurred in January 2019, has placed at risk, voidable and unenforceable, all and any liabilities that may have accrued, including any material agreements the Company may have executed during the period between March 22, 2011 and January 2019.  To the best of our knowledge, no such liabilities that were accrued and no material agreement were entered into by the company during the period between March 22, 2011 and January 2019.  In addition, there could be penalties or legal liabilities that may have accrued as a result of conducting business from 2011 to 2019 without properly registering with any State. To the best of our knowledge, as at September 7, 2020, no such penalties or liabilities has accrued to the company accrued as a result of conducting business from 2011 to 2019 without properly registering with any State. However, there is no guarantee that such penalties or liabilities would not accrue or arise in the future.

 

We have limited knowledge about the circumstances surrounding the filing of the Form 15 by the Company in

2010.  We are not aware of any reason that made the previous management of the company to file the Form 15 with the SEC.

 

Because we took control of the Company on October 21, 2019, we have limited knowledge of events that took place prior to October 21, 2019, which was the date that we formally took control of the management of the Company, we relied on information supplied to us by the previous management of the Company and we also relied on their filings with the SEC as shown on the SEC website.

 

Thus, we knew that the Company filed with the SEC to the suspension of your duty to file SEC reports after March 29, 2010.  We are not aware of the circumstances that led to the decision of the previous management of the Company to seek to stop reporting.  We just knew that the steps taken by the Company was not unusual since several other small reporting companies seems to also take that route when reporting obligation has gotten burdensome to them that the cost / benefit analysis was no longer favorable to those companies.

 

Our knowledge and understanding of the events that were contained in the Company’s SCHEDULE 13E-3 filing on June 18, 2009 was totally based on the filings themselves which is listed on the SEC website.  We do not have any additional information on that matter or any other occurrence in the Company prior to the filing of the FORM 15-15D. 

 

We only obtained information from the Company previous managers concerning the Company’s failure to re-incorporate in Delaware after termination of their Florida registration.  We were satisfied with their explanation that it was oversight and not deliberate.  We were also satisfied that the Company has been incorporated in Delaware by January of 2019. 

 

Based on the foregoing, investing in the Company may carry additional risk of the unknown or whatever might has occurred in the Company prior to October 21, 2019, which was not reported alongside the Company’s filings shown on the SEC website, which is our primary source of information about the Company’s activities prior to October 21, 2019. 

 

Substantial doubt exists about our ability to continue our business as a going concern.

 

We believe our current capital is insufficient to develop our business, execute our business strategy, and satisfy our near-term working capital requirements. If we fail to raise sufficient capital, we will likely need to raise additional financing in order to continue to implement our business model.  If such funds are not available to us, we may be forced to curtail or cease our activities, which would likely result in the loss to our investors of all or a substantial portion of their investment. These conditions create uncertainty as to our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Our financial statements appearing elsewhere in this Filing have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon its ability to raise additional capital as required. The Company has Accumulated Deficit of $7,879,875 and $7,801,050 as at the end of the year December 31, 2020 and 2019 respectively.

 

We have limited operating history on which to judge our business prospects and management.

 

The main operating subsidiary of the Company was incorporated on May 6, 2014 and has not conducted any major operations since then. The Company was incorporated pursuant to the simultaneous filing of the Company’s certificate of incorporation, as filed and stamped by the California Secretary of State on May 6, 2014.  Accordingly, we have virtually limited operating history upon which to base an evaluation of our business and prospects. Operating results for future periods are subject to numerous uncertainties and we cannot assure you that the Company will achieve or sustain profitability. Future operating results will depend upon many factors, including our success in attracting and retaining motivated and qualified personnel, our ability to establish short term credit lines or obtain financing from other sources, our ability to develop and market new products, control costs, and general economic conditions. We cannot assure you that the Company will successfully address any of these risks.

 

Our continuing as a going concern depends upon financing.

 

If we are not able to raise additional capital, we will be unable to operate our business or continue as a going concern. In additional, if we do not raise sufficient capital and we continue to experience pre-operating losses, there will most likely be substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. Revenue operations have scarcely commenced because we have not raised the necessary capital to acquire the facilities needed for our biopharmaceutical research and development operations.

 

We will require substantial additional funding which may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all. If we fail to raise the necessary additional capital, we may be unable to complete the development and commercialization of our products, or continue our development programs.

 

We expect to significantly increase our spending to advance our financing products and services. We will require additional capital for the further promotion of our products, as well as to fund our other operating expenses and capital expenditures. We cannot be certain that additional funding will be available on acceptable terms, or at all. If we are unable to raise additional capital in sufficient amounts or on terms acceptable to us, we may have to significantly delay, scale back or discontinue our operations. We may also seek collaborators for the products at an earlier stage than otherwise would be desirable or on terms that are less favorable than might otherwise be available. Any of these events could significantly harm our business, financial condition and prospects. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including:

 

•          Our plans to establish manufacturing capabilities, sales, and/or marketing;

•          The effect of competing medical products, technological and market developments;

•          The terms and timing of any collaborative, licensing and other arrangements that we may establish;

•          Our revenues, if any, from our operations;

•          The time and costs involved in obtaining regulatory approvals for a biopharma product candidates (we currently do not have any product candidate), if any.

 

 

If we raise additional funds by issuing equity or convertible debt securities, we will reduce the percentage of ownership of the then-existing shareholders, and the holders of those newly-issued equity or convertible debt securities may have rights, preferences, or privileges senior to those possessed by our then-existing shareholders. Additionally, future sales of a substantial number of shares of our Common Stock, or other equity-related securities in the public market could depress the market price of our Common Stock and impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity or equity-linked securities. We cannot predict the effect that future sales of our Common Stock, or other equity-related securities would have on the market price of our Common Stock at any given time.

 

We will need but may be unable to obtain additional funding on satisfactory terms, which could dilute our shareholders or impose burdensome financial restrictions on our business.

 

We have relied upon cash from financing activities and in the future, we expect to rely on the proceeds from future debt and/or equity financings, and we hope to rely on revenues generated from operations to fund all of the cash requirements of our activities. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to generate any significant cash from our operating activities in the future. Future financings may not be available on a timely basis, in sufficient amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. Any debt financing or other financing of securities senior to the Common Stock will likely include financial and other covenants that will restrict our flexibility. Any failure to comply with these covenants would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations because we could lose our existing sources of funding and impair our ability to secure new sources of funding. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to generate any investor interest in its securities. If we do not obtain additional financing, our business will never commence, in which case you would likely lose the entirety of your investment in us.

 

We are at an early stage of development as a company and currently have no source of revenue and may never become profitable.

 

We are a development-stage technology company that has little to no operation since inception in 2014. As a recently formed development-stage company, we are subject to all of the risks and uncertainties of a new business, including the risk that we may never develop, complete development or market any of our products or services and we may never generate product or services related revenues. Accordingly, we have only a limited history upon which an evaluation of our prospects and future performance can be made. If we are unable to generate revenue, we will not become profitable, and we may be unable to continue our operations. Furthermore, our proposed operations are subject to all business risks associated with new enterprises. The likelihood of our success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications, and delays frequently encountered in connection with the expansion of a business, operation in a competitive industry, and the continued development of advertising, promotions and a corresponding customer base. There can be no assurances that we will operate profitably.

 

We rely on our management team, which has limited experience working together.

 

We depend on a small number of executive officers and other members of management to work effectively as a team, to execute our business strategy and business plan, and to manage employees and consultants.

 

We have no long-term employment agreements in place with our executive officers.

 

As of the date of this Filing we only have unwritten short-term, interim employment arrangements with our senior executive officers that expire on December 31, 2020. We are currently negotiating compensation packages and the terms of formal employment agreements with our executive officers and we anticipate the any such employment agreement entered into with our executive officers will be on terms no less favorable to our executive officers than the terms of their respective interim arrangement. There is a risk that the Company and any one or more of our executive officers will not reach an agreement with respect to their employment agreements, in part because we expect their compensation packages will be comprised of cash compensation, equity compensation (e.g. stock options, warrants or stock grants), as well as standard benefits and other terms customary for executive officers of similar experience and tenure. Although we intend to finalize negotiations with respect to these employment agreements with each of our executive officers in the near future, if we fail to reach mutually satisfactory agreements in this regard, any one or more of such persons may terminate their association with the Company. Additionally, we are also highly dependent on certain consultants and service providers, including our development partners and our marketing and advertising service providers, some of which are affiliates of the Company and our officers and directors. The loss of any one or more of these experienced executives, consultants, service providers and/or development partners would have a material and adverse effect on our Company and our business prospects. See “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions” and“ Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate Governance”.

 

Our ability to succeed depends on our ability to grow our business and achieve profitability.

 

We may not be successful in executing our development and/or growth strategy, and even if we are successful in the development and commercialization of services and achieve targeted growth, we may not be able to achieve or sustain profitability. Failure to successfully execute any material part of our development strategy or growth strategy would significantly impair our future growth and our ability to attract and sustain investments in our business.

 

Raising additional capital by issuing additional securities may cause dilution to our current and future shareholders.

 

We will need to, or desire to, raise substantial additional capital in the future. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including, among others:

 

·         Our degree of success in selling our medical products and related services;

·         The costs of establishing or acquiring sales, and marketing for our services;

·         The extent to which we acquire or invest in businesses, products, or technologies, and other strategic relationships; and

·         The costs of financing unanticipated working capital requirements and responding to competitive pressures.

 

If we raise additional funds by issuing equity or convertible debt securities, we will reduce the percentage of ownership of the then-existing shareholders, and the holders of those newly-issued equity or convertible debt securities may have rights, preferences, or privileges senior to those possessed by our then-existing shareholders. Additionally, future sales of a substantial number of shares of our Common Stock, or other equity-related securities in the public market could depress the market price of our Common Stock and impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity or equity-linked securities. We cannot predict the effect that future sales of our Common Stock, or other equity-related securities would have on the market price of our Common Stock at any given time.

 

Risks of borrowing.

 

As of the date of this Filing, we have incurred certain debt obligations to Poverty Solutions, Inc., and to vendors and service providers in the ordinary course of our business. While we don’t intend to incur any additional debt from the equity commitments, should we obtain secure bank debt in the future, possible risks could arise. If we incur additional indebtedness, a portion of our future revenues will have to be dedicated to the payment of principal and interest on such indebtedness. Typical loan agreements also might contain restrictive covenants, which may impair our operating flexibility. Such loan agreements would also provide for default under certain circumstances, such as failure to meet certain financial covenants. A default under a loan agreement could result in the loan becoming immediately due and payable and, if unpaid, a judgment in favor of such lender which would be senior to our rights. A judgment creditor would have the right to foreclose on any of our assets resulting in a material adverse effect on our business, ability to generate revenue, operating results or financial condition.

 

Unanticipated obstacles to execution of our business plan.

 

Our business plan may change significantly. Many of our potential business endeavors are capital intensive and may be subject to statutory or regulatory requirements. Our Board of Directors believes that the chosen activities and strategies are achievable in light of current economic and legal conditions with the skills, background, and knowledge of our principals and advisors. Our Board of Directors reserves the right to make significant modifications to our stated strategies depending on future events.

 

Risks of operations.

 

Our future operating results may be volatile, difficult to predict and may fluctuate significantly in the future due to a variety of factors, many of which may be outside of our control. Due to the nature of our target market, we may be unable to accurately forecast our future revenues and operating results. Furthermore, our failure to generate revenues would prevent us from achieving and maintaining profitability. There are no assurances that we can generate significant revenue or achieve profitability. We anticipate having a sizeable amount of fixed expenses, and we expect to incur losses due to the execution of our business strategy, continued development efforts and related expenses. As a result, we will need to generate significant revenues while containing costs and operating expenses if we are to achieve profitability. We cannot be certain that we will ever achieve sufficient revenue levels to achieve profitability.

 

New venture.

 

We were recently formed, and therefore have no financial or operating history. We have little operating revenue and require borrowing to commence the marketing of our Medical products and services, hire and train staff, secure adequate office facilities, and commence operations. The likelihood of our success must be considered in light of the problems, delays, risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered in connection with the establishment of any new enterprise, many of which may be beyond our control. We are subject to all of the risks inherent in the creation of a new enterprise and the competitive environment in which we will operate. We cannot provide any assurances that we will be successful in addressing these risks or achieving our objectives.

 

Minimal employees or infrastructure.

 

We currently only have a small number of employees and are in the process of establishing our human resources procedures, policies, process and registrations, which are not yet complete. We also have minimal operational infrastructure and no prior operating history. We intent to rely on our management team, our advisors, third-party consultants, third-party developers, service providers, technology partners, outside attorneys, advisors, accountants, auditors, and other administrators. The loss of services of any of such personnel may have a material adverse effect on our business and operations and there can be no assurance that if any or all of such personnel were to become unavailable, that qualified successors can be found, on acceptable terms.

 

Limitation on remedies; indemnification.

 

Our Certificate of Incorporation, as amended from time to time, provides that officers, directors, employees and other agents and their affiliates shall only be liable to the Company and its shareholders for losses, judgments, liabilities and expenses that result from the fraud or other breach of fiduciary obligations. Additionally, we intend to enter into corporate indemnification agreements with each of our officers and directors consistent with industry practice. Thus, certain alleged errors or omissions might not be actionable by the Company. Our governing instruments also provide that, under the broadest circumstances allowed under law, we must indemnify its officers, directors, employees and other agents and their affiliates for losses, judgments, liabilities, expenses and amounts paid in settlement of any claims sustained by them in connection with the Company, including liabilities under applicable securities laws.

 

No dividends or return of profits.

 

We have not begun operations beyond planning company activities and the commencement of the deployment of our medical products and services; however, no such deployment is expected to be made until after obtain funding. Accordingly, we have not had any profits from our limited operations to date. We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our Common Stock. We currently intend to retain future earnings, if any, to finance the expansion of our operations. As a result, we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

 

Force Majeure.

 

Our business is uniquely susceptible to unforeseen delays or failures that are caused by forces of nature and related circumstances. These factors are outside and beyond our control. The delay or failure to commence the deployment of our medical products and services may be due to any act of God, fire, war, terrorism, flood, strike, labor dispute, disaster, transportation or laboratory difficulties or any similar or dissimilar event beyond our control. We will not be held liable to any shareholder in the event of any such failure.

 

We may incur substantial operating and net losses due to substantial expenditures.

 

We intend to expend money on our operating expenses and capital expenditures in order to commence the deployment of our medical products and services and expand our market presence. We may incur substantial operating and net losses in the foreseeable future. There can be no assurance that we will achieve or sustain profitability or positive cash flow from our operations.

 

We may not be able to carry out our proposed plan of operations.

 

Our proposed plan of operation and prospects will depend largely upon our ability to successfully establish a noticeable presence in the CBD industry on a timely fashion, retain and continue to hire skilled management, technical, marketing and other personnel; and attract and retain significant numbers of quality business partners. We have limited experience in the deployment of our medical products and services and there is limited information available concerning the potential performance or market acceptance of our medical products and there can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully implement our business plan or develop or maintain future business relationships, or that unanticipated expenses, problems or technical difficulties which would result in material delays in implementation will not occur.

 

We may not be able to manage our growth effectively.

 

Our growth is expected to place, a significant strain on our managerial, operational and financial resources. As the number of our clients, partners and other business partners grows, we must increasingly manage multiple relationships with various customers, strategic partners and other third parties. There can be no assurance that our systems, procedures or controls will be adequate to support our operations or that our management will be able to achieve the rapid execution necessary to successfully offer our services and implement our business plan. Our future operating results will also depend on our ability to expand sales and marketing commensurate with the growth of our business and the legal-cannabis industry. If we are unable to manage growth effectively, our business, results of operations and financial condition will be adversely affected.

 

 Risks Relating to Biopharmaceutical Industry

                 

We are a specialty pharmaceutical company with a limited operating history, and it is difficult for potential investors to evaluate our business.

 

We are a specialty pharmaceutical company founded in May 2014 and have not commenced revenue-producing operations. To date, our operations have consisted of the preliminary formulation, testing and search for initial product candidates. Our limited operating history makes it difficult for potential investors to evaluate our prospective operations. As an early stage company, we are subject to all the risks inherent in the initial organization, financing, expenditures, complications and delays in a new business. Further, biopharmaceutical product development is a highly speculative undertaking, involves a substantial degree of risk, and is a capital-intensive business. Accordingly, you should consider our prospects in light of the costs, uncertainties, delays and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in the early stages of development, especially clinical-stage biopharmaceutical companies such as ours.  Potential investors should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties that a company with a limited operating history will face. In particular, potential investors should consider that we may be unable to:

 

·         successfully implement or execute our current business plan, or develop a business plan that is sound;

·         successfully start and complete clinical trials and obtain regulatory approval for the marketing of product candidates (we currently do not have any product candidate);

·         successfully contract for the manufacture of a clinical drug products and establish a commercial drug supply;

·         secure market exclusivity or adequate intellectual property protection for a product candidates;

·         attract and retain an experienced management and advisory team; or

·         raise sufficient funds in the capital markets to effectuate our business plan, including clinical development, regulatory approval and commercialization for a product candidates (we currently do not have any product candidate).

 

We face competition from other biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies and our operating results will suffer if we fail to compete effectively.

 

The biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries are intensely competitive and subject to rapid and significant technological change. We have existing competitors and potential new competitors in a number of jurisdictions, many of which have or will have substantially greater name recognition, commercial infrastructures and financial, technical and personnel resources than we have. Established competitors may invest heavily to quickly discover and develop novel compounds that could make any of our product candidates obsolete or uneconomical (we currently do not have any product candidate). In addition, mergers and acquisitions in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries may result in even more resources being concentrated among a smaller number of our competitors, potentially reducing or eliminating our commercial opportunity. Furthermore, such potential competitors may enter the market before us, and their products may be designed to circumvent our granted patents and pending patent applications. Any new product that competes with an approved product may need to demonstrate compelling advantages in efficacy, cost, convenience, tolerability and safety to be commercially successful. Other competitive factors, including generic competition, could force us to lower prices or could result in reduced sales. If we are not able to compete effectively against our current and future competitors, our business will not grow and our financial condition and operations will suffer.

 

The Company’s forecasts are highly speculative in nature and it cannot predict results with a high degree of accuracy.

 

Any financial projections, especially those based on ventures with minimal operating history, are inherently subject to a high degree of uncertainty, and their ultimate achievement depends on the timing and occurrence of a complex series of future events, both internal and external to the enterprise. There can be no assurance that potential revenues or expenses the Company projects will, in fact, be received or incurred.

 

Our trade secrets may be difficult to protect.

 

Our success depends upon the skills, knowledge, and experience of our personnel, our consultants, and advisors. We rely in part on trade secrets to operate our businesses successfully. However, trade secrets are difficult to protect. We try to protect our trade secrets by entering into confidentiality or non-disclosure agreements with certain partners, employees, consultants, and other advisors. These agreements generally require that the receiving party keep confidential, and not disclose to third parties confidential information developed by the receiving party or made known to the receiving party by us during the course of the receiving party’s relationship with us.

 

The confidentiality, non-disclosure, and other similar agreements may be breached and may not effectively assign intellectual property rights to us. Our trade secrets also could be independently discovered by competitors, in which case we would not be able to prevent the use of such trade secrets by our competitors. The enforcement of a claim alleging that a party illegally obtained and was using our trade secrets could be difficult, expensive, and time consuming, and the outcome would be unpredictable. The failure to obtain or maintain meaningful trade secret protection could adversely affect our competitive position.

 

Because we do not currently have an audit committee, compensation committee or any other form of corporate governance committee, shareholders will have to rely on our directors, none of whom is independent, to perform these functions.

 

We do not have an audit committee, compensation committee or any form of corporate governance committees comprised of an independent director. The Board performs these functions as a whole and no members of the Board are an independent director. Our Board has recently passed a resolution and is in the process of establishing certain committees, including an audit and compliance committee, a finance committee, a hiring and compensation committee and an executive committee, and plans to implement additional corporate governance controls. However, until such committees and controls are formally established, there is a significant risk that certain members of the Board of Directors, executive management and/or our controlling shareholder could thwart such plans and prevent such committees and controls from being implemented. Thus, there is a potential conflict in that board members who are also part of management will participate in discussions concerning management compensation and audit issues that may affect management decisions.

 

Our failure to maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting could have an adverse impact on us.

 

We are required to establish and maintain appropriate internal controls over financial reporting. Failure to establish those controls, or any failure of those controls once established, could adversely impact our public disclosures regarding our business, financial condition or results of operations. In addition, management's assessment of internal controls over financial reporting may identify weaknesses and conditions that need to be addressed in our internal controls over financial reporting or other matters that may raise concerns for investors. Any actual or perceived weaknesses and conditions that need to be addressed in our internal control over financial reporting, disclosure of management's assessment of our internal controls over financial reporting or disclosure of our public accounting firm's attestation to or report on management's assessment of our internal controls over financial reporting may have an adverse impact on the price of our Common Stock.

  

General securities investment risks.

 

All investments in securities involve the risk of loss of capital. No guarantee or representation is made that an investor will receive a return of its capital. The value of our Common Stock can be adversely affected by a variety of factors, including development problems, regulatory issues, technical issues, commercial challenges, competition, legislation, government intervention, industry developments and trends, and general business and economic conditions.

 

Our strategic investments, if any are pursued by the Company, may result in losses.

 

We may elect periodically to make strategic investments in various public and private companies with businesses or technologies that may complement our business. The market values of these strategic investments may fluctuate due to market conditions and other conditions over which we have no control. Other-than-temporary declines in the market price and valuations of the securities that we hold in other companies would require us to record losses related to our investment. This could result in future charges to our earnings. It is uncertain whether or not we will realize any long-term benefits associated with these strategic investments.

 

A sale of a substantial number of shares of the Common Stock may cause the price of our Common Stock to decline.

 

If our stockholders sell, or the market perceives that our stockholders intend to sell for various reasons, substantial amounts of our Common Stock in the public market, including shares issued in connection with the exercise of outstanding options or warrants, the market price of our Common Stock could fall. Sales of a substantial number of shares of our Common Stock may make it more difficult for us to sell equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and price that we deem reasonable or appropriate. We may become involved in securities class action litigation that could divert management’s attention and harm our business. The stock markets have from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that have affected the market prices for the Common Stock of pharmaceutical companies. These broad market fluctuations may cause the market price of our Common Stock to decline. In the past, securities class action litigation has often been brought against a company following a decline in the market price of a company’s securities. We may become involved in this type of litigation in the future. Litigation often is expensive and diverts management’s attention and resources, which could adversely affect our business.

 

Our quarterly operating results may fluctuate significantly.

 

We expect our operating results to be subject to quarterly fluctuations. Our net loss and other operating results will be affected by numerous factors, including:

 

·         variations in the level of expenses related to our development programs;

·         any intellectual property infringement lawsuit in which we may become involved;

·         regulatory developments affecting our App and related services; and

·         our execution of any collaborative, licensing or similar arrangements, and the timing of payments we may make or receive under these arrangements.

 

If our quarterly operating results fall below the expectations of investors or securities analysts, the price of our Common Stock could decline substantially. Furthermore, any quarterly fluctuations in our operating results may, in turn, cause the price of our Common Stock to fluctuate substantially.

 

Directors, executive officers, principal stockholders and affiliated entities own a significant percentage of our capital stock, and they may make decisions that you do not consider to be in your best interests or those of our other stockholders.

 

As of the date of this Filing, our directors, executive officers and principal stockholders beneficially owned, in the aggregate, substantially all of our outstanding voting securities. As a result, if some or all of them acted together, they would have the ability to exert significant influence over the election of our board of directors and the outcome of issues requiring approval by our stockholders. This concentration of ownership may also have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of our company that may be favored by other stockholders. This could prevent transactions in which stockholders might otherwise recover a premium for their shares over current market prices.

 

Our ability to use our net operating loss carry forwards may be subject to limitation.

 

Generally, a change of more than fifty percent (50%) in the ownership of a company’s stock, by value, over a three-year period constitutes an ownership change for U.S. federal income tax purposes. An ownership change may limit our ability to use our net operating loss carryforwards attributable to the period prior to the change. As a result, if we earn net taxable income, our ability to use our pre-change net operating loss carryforwards to offset U.S. federal taxable income may become subject to limitations, which could potentially result in increased future tax liability for us.

 

Our bylaws provide for indemnification of officers and directors at our expense and limits their liability, which may result in a major cost to us and hurt the interests of our stockholders because corporate resources may be expended for the benefit of our officers and/or directors.

 

Our Bylaws and applicable California law provide for the indemnification of our directors, officers, employees, and agents, under certain circumstances, against attorney’s fees and other expenses incurred by them in any litigation to which they become a party arising from their association with or activities on our behalf. We will also bear the expenses of such litigation for any of our directors, officers, employees, or agents, upon such person’s promise to repay us, therefore if it is ultimately determined that any such person shall not have been entitled to indemnification. This indemnification policy could result in substantial expenditures by us, which we will be unable to recover. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of our Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer, or controlling person of our Company in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

 

Our Common Stock may be traded on a closed trading system with limited volume and liquidity.

 

Our Common Stock may not be freely quoted for trading on any stock exchange or through any other traditional trading platform. Our Common Stock may be issued, available for purchase and may be traded exclusively on a specific trading system that is registered with the SEC as an alternative trading system (an “ATS”). We do not currently have any plans to trade our Common Stock on a specific ATS. Any disruption to the operations of an ATS or a broker-dealer's customer interface with an ATS would materially disrupt trading in, or potentially result in a complete halt in the trading of, our Common Stock. Because our Common Stock may be traded exclusively on a closed trading system, it is a possibility that there will be a limited number of holders of our Common Stock. In addition, an ATS is likely to experience limited trading volume with a relatively small number of securities trading on the ATS platform as compared to securities trading on traditional securities exchanges or trading platforms. As a result, this novel trading system may have limited liquidity, resulting in a lower or higher price or greater volatility than would be the case with greater liquidity. You may not be able to resell your Common Stock s on a timely basis or at all.

 

The number of securities traded on an ATS may be very small, making the market price more easily manipulated.

 

While we understand that many ATS platforms have adopted policies and procedures such that security holders are not free to manipulate the trading price of securities contrary to applicable law, and while the risk of market manipulation exists in connection with the trading of any securities, the risk may be greater for our Common Stock because the ATS we choose may be a closed system that does not have the same breadth of market and liquidity as the national market system. There can be no assurance that the efforts by an ATS to prevent such behavior will be sufficient to prevent such market manipulation.

 

An ATS is not a stock exchange and has limited quoting requirements for issuers or for the securities traded.

 

Unlike the more expansive listing requirements, policies and procedures of the Nasdaq Global Market and other trading platforms, there are no minimum price requirements and limited listing requirements for securities to be traded on an ATS. As a result, trades of our Common Stock on an ATS may not be at prices that represent the national best bid or offer prices of securities that could be considered similar securities.

 

The requirements of being a public company may strain our resources, divert management’s attention and affect our ability to attract and retain qualified board members.

 

As a public company, we will incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses that we have not incurred as a private company, including costs associated with public company reporting requirements. We also will incur costs associated with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Dodd-Frank Act and related rules implemented or to be implemented by the SEC. The expenses incurred by public companies generally for reporting and corporate governance purposes have been increasing. We expect the rules and regulations associated with being a public company to increase our legal and financial compliance costs and to make some activities more time-consuming and costly, although we are currently unable to estimate these costs with any degree of certainty. These laws and regulations could also make it more difficult or costly for us to obtain certain types of insurance, including director and officer liability insurance, and we may be forced to accept constraints on policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain coverage. These laws and regulations could also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on our Board, our board committees or as our executive officers and may divert management’s attention. Furthermore, if we are unable to satisfy our obligations as a public company, we could be subject to delisting of our Common Stock, fines, sanctions and other regulatory action and potentially civil litigation.

 

The preparation of our financial statements involves the use of estimates, judgments and assumptions, and our financial statements may be materially affected if such estimates, judgments or assumptions prove to be inaccurate.

 

Financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) typically require the use of estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts. Often, different estimates, judgments and assumptions could reasonably be used that would have a material effect on such financial statements, and changes in these estimates, judgments and assumptions may occur from period to period over time. These estimates, judgments and assumptions are inherently uncertain and, if our estimates were to prove to be wrong, we would face the risk that charges to income or other financial statement changes or adjustments would be required. Any such charges or changes could harm our business, including our financial condition and results of operations and the price of our securities. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” for a discussion of the accounting estimates, judgments and assumptions that we believe are the most critical to an understanding of our consolidated financial statements and our business.

 

If securities industry analysts do not publish research reports on us, or publish unfavorable reports on us, then the market price and market trading volume of our Common Stock could be negatively affected.

 

Any trading market for our Common Stock will be influenced in part by any research reports that securities industry analysts publish about us. We do not currently have and may never obtain research coverage by securities industry analysts. If no securities industry analysts commence coverage of us, the market price and market trading volume of our Common Stock could be negatively affected. In the event we are covered by analysts, and one or more of such analysts downgrade our securities, or otherwise reports on us unfavorably, or discontinues coverage or us, the market price and market trading volume of our Common Stock could be negatively affected.

 

Risks Related to Discovery, Development, Regulatory Approval and Commercialization of Cures and Novel Therapeutics From Cannabinoid, Cannabidiol, Endocannabinoids, Phytocannabinoids, and Synthetic Cannabinoids Product

 

Clinical trials for our future product candidates would be expensive, time-consuming, uncertain and susceptible to change, delay or termination. The results of clinical trials are open to differing interpretations

 

Once our main operating subsidiary, Cannabinoid Biosciences, Inc. reaches the stage to start research, development and Commercialization of Cures and Novel Therapeutics from Cannabinoid, Cannabidiol, Endocannabinoids, Phytocannabinoids, and Synthetic Cannabinoids Product, we would be involved in clinical trials.  Clinical trials are expensive, time consuming and difficult to design and implement. Regulatory agencies may analyze or interpret the results differently than us. Even if the results of our clinical trials are favorable, the clinical trials for a number of our product candidates (we currently do not have any product candidate), would be expected to continue for several years and may take significantly longer to complete. In addition, we, the FDA or other regulatory authorities, including state and local authorities, or an Institutional Review Board, may suspend, delay or terminate our clinical trials at any time, require us to conduct additional clinical trials, require a particular clinical trial to continue for a longer duration than originally planned, require a change to our development plans such that we conduct clinical trials for a product candidate in a different order  or the DEA could suspend or terminate the registrations and quota allotments we require in order to procure and handle controlled substances, for various reasons, including:

 

·         delays in obtaining regulatory authorization to commence a trial, including “clinical holds” or delays requiring suspension or termination of a trial by a regulatory agency, such as the FDA, before or after a trial is commenced;

·         DEA-related recordkeeping, reporting or security violations at a clinical site, leading the DEA or state authorities to suspend or revoke the site’s controlled substance license and causing a delay or termination of planned or ongoing trials;

·         changes in applicable regulatory policies and regulation, including changes to requirements imposed on the extent, nature or timing of studies;

·         delay or failure to supply product for use in clinical trials which conforms to regulatory specification;

·         failure of our contract research organizations, or CROs, or other third-party contractors to comply with all contractual requirements or to perform their services in a timely or acceptable manner;

·         failure by our employees, our CROs or their employees to comply with all applicable FDA or other regulatory requirements relating to the conduct of clinical trials or the handling, storage, security and recordkeeping for controlled substances;

·         regulatory concerns with cannabinoid products generally and the potential for abuse;

·         insufficient data to support regulatory approval;

·         inability or unwillingness of medical investigators to follow our clinical protocols; or

 

Any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

Any failure by us to comply with existing regulations could harm our reputation and operating results

 

As at the date of this filing, the Company does not currently, nor does it intend, in the future to, maintain an ownership interest in any cannabis growing, marijuana dispensaries or production facilities. The Company only targets businesses that are focused on Hemp-based CBD products, which are “Farm Bill” compliant.  The Company does not grow, process, own, handle, transport, or sell cannabis or marijuana as the Company is organized and directed to operate strictly in accordance with all applicable state and federal laws.  Notwithstanding the above, we could still be subject to extensive regulation by U.S. federal and state governments in each of the markets where we intend or plan to sell Hemp-based CBD products, as applicable.

 

We must also adhere to all regulatory requirements including FDA’s GLP, GCP, and cGMP requirements, pharmacovigilance requirements, advertising and promotion restrictions, reporting and recordkeeping requirements. If we or our suppliers fail to comply with applicable regulations, including FDA pre-or post-approval cGMP requirements, then the FDA could sanction us. Even if any of our future product candidates is FDA-approved (we currently do not have any product candidate), regulatory authorities may impose significant restrictions on a product’s indicated uses or marketing or impose ongoing requirements for potentially costly post-marketing trials.  CBD products or drug candidates that may be approved in the U.S. in the future, will be subject to ongoing regulatory requirements for manufacturing, labeling, packaging, storage, distribution, import, export, advertising, promotion, sampling, recordkeeping and submission of safety and other post-market information, including both federal and state requirements in the U.S. In addition, manufacturers and manufacturers’ facilities are required to comply with extensive FDA requirements, including ensuring that quality control and manufacturing procedures conform to GMP.  If we fail to comply with applicable regulatory requirements, a regulatory agency or enforcement authority may:

 

·         issue warning letters;

·         impose civil or criminal penalties; • suspend regulatory approval; • suspend any of our ongoing clinical trials;

·         refuse to approve pending applications or supplements to approved applications submitted by us;

·         impose restrictions on our operations, including by requiring us to enter into a Corporate Integrity Agreement or closing our contract manufacturers’ facilities, if any; or

·         seize or detain products or require a product recall.

 

In addition, Cannabinoid, Cannabidiol, Endocannabinoids, Phytocannabinoids, and Synthetic Cannabinoids products are regulated by the DEA, under the Controlled Substances Act. DEA scheduling is a separate process that can delay when a drug may become available to patients beyond an NDA approval date, and the timing and outcome of such DEA process is uncertain. See also “Risks Related to Controlled Substances”. In addition, any government investigation of alleged violations of law could require us to expend significant time and resources in response, and could generate negative publicity. Any failure to comply with ongoing regulatory requirements may significantly and adversely affect our ability to commercialize and generate revenue from Cannabinoid, Cannabidiol, Endocannabinoids, Phytocannabinoids, and Synthetic Cannabinoids Product and product candidates. If regulatory sanctions are applied or if regulatory approval is withdrawn, the value of our business and our operating results may be adversely affected.

 

Any action against us for violation of these laws, even if we successfully defend against it, could cause us to incur significant legal expenses, divert our management’s attention from the operation of our business and damage our reputation. We expend significant resources on compliance efforts and such expenses are unpredictable and might adversely affect our results. Changing laws, regulations and standards might also create uncertainty, higher expenses and increase insurance costs. As a result, we intend to invest all reasonably necessary resources to comply with evolving standards, and this investment might result in increased management and administrative expenses and a diversion of management time and attention from revenue-generating activities to compliance activities.

 

We are subject to federal, state laws and regulations and implementation of or changes to such laws and regulations could adversely affect our business and results of operations.

 

In the U.S., the DEA regulates the cultivation, possession and supply of cannabis for medical research and commercial development, including the requirement of annual registrations to manufacture or distribute pharmaceutical products derived from cannabis extracts.   The Company only target businesses that are focused on Hemp-based CBD products.  See also “Risks Related to Controlled Substances”.

 

Risks Related to Controlled Substances

 

Controlled substance legislation may restrict or limit our ability to sell future product candidates.

 

Most countries are parties to the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs 1961, which governs international trade and domestic control of narcotic substances, including cannabis extracts. Countries may interpret and implement their treaty obligations in a way that creates a legal obstacle to our obtaining regulatory approval for Cannabinoid based products in those countries. These countries may not be willing or able to amend or otherwise modify their laws and regulations to permit Cannabinoid products to be marketed, or achieving such amendments to the laws and regulations may take a prolonged period of time. In the case of countries with similar obstacles, we would be unable to market Cannabinoid product candidates in countries in the near future or perhaps at all if the laws and regulations in those countries do not change.

 

“2018 Farm Bill” compliant Hemp-derived Cannabinoid-based product candidates that we intend to develop will be subject to U.S. controlled substance laws and regulations and failure to comply with these laws and regulations, or the cost of compliance with these laws and regulations, may adversely affect the results of our business operations, both during clinical development and post approval, and our financial condition.

 

Cannabinoid, Cannabidiol, Endocannabinoids, Phytocannabinoids, and Synthetic Cannabinoids product candidates that we intend to develop would contain controlled substances as defined in the federal Controlled Substances Act of 1970, or CSA. Controlled substances that are pharmaceutical products are subject to a high degree of regulation under the CSA, which establishes, among other things, certain registration, manufacturing quotas, security, recordkeeping, reporting, import, export and other requirements administered by the DEA. The DEA classifies controlled substances into five schedules: Schedule I, II, III, IV or V substances. Schedule I substances by definition have a high potential for abuse, no currently “accepted medical use” in the U.S., lack accepted safety for use under medical supervision, and may not be prescribed, marketed or sold in the U.S. Pharmaceutical products approved for use in the U.S. which contain a controlled substance are listed as Schedule II, III, IV or V, with Schedule II substances considered to present the highest potential for abuse or dependence and Schedule V substances the lowest relative risk of abuse among such substances. Schedule I and II drugs are subject to the strictest controls under the CSA, including manufacturing and procurement quotas, security requirements and criteria for importation. In addition, dispensing of Schedule II drugs is further restricted. For example, they may not be refilled without a new prescription. The manufacture, importation, exportation, domestic distribution, storage, sale and legitimate use of Cannabinoid, Cannabidiol, Endocannabinoids, Phytocannabinoids, and Synthetic Cannabinoids, even when they are Hemp-derived, will be subject to specific and potentially significant levels of regulation by the DEA.

 

DEA registration and inspection of facilities. Facilities conducting research, manufacturing, distributing, importing or exporting, or dispensing controlled substances must be registered (licensed) to perform these activities and have the security, control, recordkeeping, reporting and inventory mechanisms required by the DEA to prevent drug loss and diversion. All these facilities must renew their registrations annually, except dispensing facilities, which must renew every three years. The DEA conducts periodic inspections of certain registered establishments that handle controlled substances. Obtaining and maintaining the necessary registrations may result in delay of the importation, manufacturing or distribution of Cannabinoid, Cannabidiol, Endocannabinoids, Phytocannabinoids, and Synthetic Cannabinoids products. Furthermore, failure to maintain compliance with the CSA, particularly non-compliance resulting in loss or diversion, can result in regulatory action that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. The DEA may seek civil penalties, refuse to renew necessary registrations, or initiate proceedings to restrict, suspend or revoke those registrations. In certain circumstances, violations could lead to criminal proceedings.

 

We have not obtained any of these registrations or submitted these protocols. We may never obtain these registrations or submit these protocols, and that failure to do so will result in material adverse harm to our business and, if true, an inability to commence operations.

 

State-controlled substances laws. Individual states have also established controlled substance laws and regulations. Though state-controlled substances laws often mirror federal law, because the states are separate jurisdictions, they may separately schedule Cannabinoid, Cannabidiol, Endocannabinoids, Phytocannabinoids, and Synthetic Cannabinoids product candidates as well. We or our partners must also obtain separate state registrations, permits or licenses in order to be able to obtain, handle, and distribute controlled substances for clinical trials or commercial sale, and failure to meet applicable regulatory requirements could lead to enforcement and sanctions by the states in addition to those from the DEA or otherwise arising under federal law.

 

Clinical trials. Because when we start our R&D, our products would be controlled substances in the U.S., to conduct clinical trials in the U.S., each of our research sites must submit a research protocol to the DEA and obtain and maintain a DEA researcher registration that will allow those sites to handle and dispense our products and to obtain product from our importer. If the DEA delays or denies the grant of a research registration to one or more research sites, the clinical trial could be significantly delayed, and we could lose clinical trial sites. The importer for the clinical trials must also obtain an importer registration and an import permit for each import.

 

Importation.  If one of our future product candidates is approved and classified as a Schedule II or III substance, an importer can import for commercial purposes if it obtains an importer registration and files an application for an import permit for each import. The DEA provides annual assessments/estimates to the International Narcotics Control Board which guides the DEA in the amounts of controlled substances that the DEA authorizes to be imported. The failure to identify an importer or obtain the necessary import authority, including specific quantities, could affect product availability and have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. In addition, an application for a Schedule II importer registration must be published in the Federal Register, and there is a waiting period for third party comments to be submitted. It is always possible that adverse comments may delay the grant of an importer registration.

 

If one of our future product candidates is approved and classified as a Schedule II controlled substance, federal law may impose additional restrictions on importation for commercial purposes.

 

Manufacture in the U.S. If, because of a Schedule II classification or voluntarily, we were to conduct manufacturing or repackaging/relabeling in the U.S., our contract manufacturers would be subject to the DEA’s annual manufacturing and procurement quota requirements. Additionally, regardless of the scheduling of cannabinoid, cannabis and the BDSs comprising the active ingredient in the final dosage form are currently Schedule I controlled substances and would be subject to such quotas as these substances could remain listed on Schedule I. The annual quota allocated to us or our contract manufacturers for the active ingredients in our products may not be sufficient to complete clinical trials or meet commercial demand. Consequently, any delay or refusal by the DEA in establishing our, or our contract manufacturers’, procurement and/or production quota for controlled substances could delay or stop our clinical trials or product launches, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position and results of operations.

 

Distribution in the U.S. If any of our future product candidates is scheduled as Schedule II or III, we would also need to identify wholesale distributors with the appropriate DEA and state registrations and authority to distribute the product to pharmacies and other health care providers. We would need to identify distributors to distribute the product to pharmacies; these distributors would need to obtain Schedule II or III distribution registrations. The failure to obtain, or delay in obtaining, or the loss any of those registrations could result in increased costs to us. If any of our future product candidates is a Schedule II drug, pharmacies would have to maintain enhanced security with alarms and monitoring systems and they must adhere to recordkeeping and inventory requirements. This may discourage some pharmacies from carrying either or both of these products. Furthermore, state and federal enforcement actions, regulatory requirements, and legislation intended to reduce prescription drug abuse, such as the requirement that physicians consult a state prescription drug monitoring program may make physicians less willing to prescribe, and pharmacies to dispense, Schedule II products.

 

New Laws and Regulations.

 

From time to time, various types of federal and state legislation are proposed and new regulations are introduced that could result in additional regulation of, and restrictions on, the business of consumer lending. We cannot predict whether any such legislation or regulations will be adopted or how this would affect our business or our important relationships with third parties. In addition, the interpretation of existing legislation may change or may prove different than anticipated when applied to our business model. Compliance with such requirements could involve additional costs, which could have a material adverse effect on our business. As a consequence of the extensive regulation of commercial lending in the United States, our business is particularly susceptible to being affected by federal and state legislation and regulations that may increase the cost of doing business.

 

Acquisitions we pursue in our industry and related industries could result in operating difficulties, dilution to our stockholders and other consequences harmful to our business.

 

As part of our growth strategy, we may selectively pursue strategic acquisitions in our industry and related industries. We may not be able to consummate such acquisitions, which could adversely impact our growth. If we do consummate acquisitions, integrating an acquired company, business or technology may result in unforeseen operating difficulties and expenditures, including:

 

·         increased expenses due to transaction and integration costs;

·         potential liabilities of the acquired businesses;

·         potential adverse tax and accounting effects of the acquisitions;

·         diversion of capital and other resources from our existing businesses;

·         diversion of our management’s attention during the acquisition process and any transition periods;

·         loss of key employees of the acquired businesses following the acquisition; and

·         inaccurate budgets and projected financial statements due to inaccurate valuation assessments of the acquired businesses.

 

Our evaluations of potential acquisitions may not accurately assess the value or prospects of acquisition candidates, and the anticipated benefits from our future acquisitions may not materialize. In addition, future acquisitions or dispositions could result in potentially dilutive issuances of our equity securities, including our common stock, the incurrence of debt, contingent liabilities or amortization expenses, or write-offs of goodwill, any of which could harm our financial condition.

 

Our insurance policies are expensive and only protect us from some business risks, which will leave us exposed to significant uninsured liabilities.

 

We do not carry insurance for all categories of risk that our business may encounter. Some of the policies that we generally maintain include general liability, automobile and property insurance. We do not know, however, if we will be able to maintain insurance with adequate levels of coverage. In addition, we do not know if we will be able to obtain and maintain coverage for the business in which we engage. No assurance can be given that an insurance carrier will not seek to cancel or deny coverage after a claim has occurred. Any significant uninsured liability may require us to pay substantial amounts, which would adversely affect our business, financial condition and business results.

 

Others may assert intellectual property infringement claims against us.

 

We use alcohol products from other companies in the making of our alcohol infused frozen desserts. Infringement or misappropriation claims (or claims for indemnification resulting from such claims) against us may be asserted or prosecuted, regardless of their merit, and any such assertions or prosecutions may adversely affect our business and/or our operating results. Irrespective of the validity or the successful assertion of such claims, we would incur significant costs and diversion of resources relating to the defense of such claims, which could have an adverse effect on our business and/or our operating results.

 

The inability to successfully manage the growth of our business may have an adverse effect on our operating results.

 

We expect to experience growth in the number of employees and the scope of our operations. Such growth will result in increased responsibilities for our management. If our management is unable to successfully manage expenses in a manner that allows us to both improve operations and at the same time pursue potential market opportunities, the growth of our business could be adversely impacted, which may, in turn, negatively affect our operating results or financial condition. In addition, we believe that a critical contributor to our success has been our creative culture. As we attempt to grow, we may find it difficult to maintain important aspects of our corporate culture, which could negatively affect our future success.

 

Historical financial statements may not be reflective of our future results of operations, cash flows, and financial condition.

 

Although we believe that you have been provided access to all material information necessary to make an informed assessment of our assets and liabilities, financial position, profits and losses and prospects, historical financial statements do not represent what our results of operations, cash flows, or financial position will be in the future.

 

Risks Related to Our Common Stock

 

There currently is only a minimal public market for our common stock. Failure to develop or maintain a trading market could negatively affect the value of our common stock and make it difficult or impossible for you to sell your shares.

 

There currently is only a minimal public market for shares of our common stock and an active market may never develop. Our common stock is quoted on the OTC expert market operated by the OTC Market’s Group, Inc. under the symbol “KDCE”. We may not ever be able to satisfy the listing requirements for our common stock to be listed on any stock exchange, including the trading platforms of the NASDAQ Stock Market which are often more widely-traded and liquid markets. Some, but not all, of the factors which may delay or prevent the listing of our common stock on a more widely-traded and liquid market include the following: our stockholders’ equity may be insufficient; the market value of our outstanding securities may be too low; our net income from operations may be too low; our common stock may not be sufficiently widely held; we may not be able to secure market makers for our common stock; and we may fail to meet the rules and requirements mandated by, any of the several exchanges and markets to have our common stock listed.

 

The market price for our common stock is particularly volatile given our status as a relatively unknown company with a small and thinly traded public float, limited operating history and lack of profits which could lead to wide fluctuations in our share price. You may be unable to sell your common stock at or above your conversion price, which may result in substantial losses to you.

 

The market for our common stock is characterized by significant price volatility when compared to seasoned issuers, and we expect that our share price will continue to be more volatile than a seasoned issuer for the indefinite future. The volatility in our share price is attributable to a number of factors. First, as noted above, our common stock are sporadically and thinly traded. As a consequence of this lack of liquidity, the trading of relatively small quantities of shares by our shareholders may disproportionately influence the price of those shares in either direction. The price for our shares could, for example, decline precipitously in the event that a large number of our common stock are sold on the market without commensurate demand, as compared to a seasoned issuer which could better absorb those sales without adverse impact on its share price. Secondly, we are a speculative or “risky” investment due to our limited operating history and lack of profits to date, and uncertainty of future market acceptance for our potential products and services. As a consequence of this enhanced risk, more risk-adverse investors may, under the fear of losing all or most of their investment in the event of negative news or lack of progress, be more inclined to sell their shares on the market more quickly and at greater discounts than would be the case with the stock of a seasoned issuer. Many of these factors are beyond our control and may decrease the market price of our common stock, regardless of our operating performance. We cannot make any predictions or projections as to what the prevailing market price for our common stock will be at any time, including as to whether our common stock will sustain their current market prices, or as to what effect that the sale of shares or the availability of common stock for sale at any time will have on the prevailing market price.

 

The application of the “penny stock” rules could adversely affect the market price of our common stock and increase your transaction costs to sell those shares.

 

The SEC has adopted rule 3a51-1 which establishes the definition of a “penny stock,” for the purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, Rule 15g-9 requires:

 

·         that a broker or dealer approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks, and

·         the broker or dealer receives from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased.

 

In order to approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must:

 

·         obtain financial information and investment experience objectives of the person, and

·         make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks.

 

The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prescribed by the SEC relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form:

 

·         sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination, and

·         that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction.

 

Generally, brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the “penny stock” rules. This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of our common stock and cause a decline in the market value of our stock.

 

The application of Rule 144 creates some investment risk to potential investors; for example, existing shareholders may be able to rely on Rule 144 to sell some of their holdings, driving down the price of the shares you purchased.

 

The SEC adopted amendments to Rule 144 which became effective on February 15, 2008 that apply to securities acquired both before and after that date. Under these amendments, a person who has beneficially owned restricted shares of our common stock for at least six months would be entitled to sell their securities provided that: (i) such person is not deemed to have been one of our affiliates at the time of, or at any time during the three months preceding a sale, (ii) we are subject to the Exchange Act periodic reporting requirements for at least 90 days before the sale and (iii) if the sale occurs prior to satisfaction of a one-year holding period, we provide current information at the time of sale.

 

Persons who have beneficially owned restricted shares of our common stock for at least six months but who are our affiliates at the time of, or at any time during the three months preceding a sale, would be subject to additional restrictions, by which such person would be entitled to sell within any three-month period only a number of securities that does not exceed the greater of either of the following:

 

·         1% of the total number of securities of the same class then outstanding (shares of common stock as of the date of this Report); or

·         the average weekly trading volume of such securities during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of a notice on Form 144 with respect to the sale;

·         provided, in each case, that we are subject to the Exchange Act periodic reporting requirements for at least three months before the sale. Such sales by affiliates must also comply with the manner of sale, current public information and notice provisions of Rule 144.

 

Risks Related to Our Acquisition Strategy

 

We can give no assurances as to when we will consummate any other future acquisitions or whether we will consummate any of them at all.

 

We intend to continue to build our business through strategic acquisitions. However, any acquisition is subject to certain closing conditions and other impediments to closing, including closing the financing and others that are beyond our control, and we may not be able to close on the terms described herein or at all. See above “Business — Recent Developments and Initiatives.”

 

We intend to pursue and consummate one or more acquisitions and to possibly use Debt Financing, if any, to fund any cash portion of the consideration we will pay in connection with those acquisitions. However, such acquisitions may be subject to conditions and other impediments to closing, including some that are beyond our control, and we may not be able to close any of them successfully. In addition, our future acquisitions will be required to be closed within certain timeframes as negotiated between us and the acquisition target, and if we are unable to meet the closing deadlines for a given transaction, we may be required to forfeit payments we have made, if any, be forced to renegotiate the transaction on less advantageous terms and could fail to consummate the transaction at all.

 

If we are unable to close future acquisitions, it could significantly alter our business strategy and impede our prospects for growth. Further, we may not be able to identify suitable acquisition candidates to replace these acquisitions, and even if we were to do so, we may only be able to consummate them on less advantageous terms. In addition, some of the businesses we acquire may incur significant losses from operations, which, in turn, could have a material and adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

We may face difficulty in integrating the operations of any businesses we may acquire in the future. However, we will need to integrate these acquired businesses successfully in order for our growth strategy to succeed and for us to become profitable. We expect that the management teams of the acquired businesses will adopt our policies, procedures and best practices, and cooperate with each other in scheduling events, booking talent and in other aspects of their operations. We may face difficulty with the integration of any other businesses we acquire, such as coordinating geographically dispersed organizations, integrating personnel with disparate business backgrounds and combining different corporate cultures, the diversion of management’s attention from other business concerns, the inherent risks in entering markets or lines of business in which we have either limited or no direct experience; and the potential loss of key employees, individual service providers, customers and strategic partners of acquired companies.

 

Further, we expect that future target companies may have material weaknesses in internal controls relating to the proper application of accrual based accounting under the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) prior to our acquiring them. The Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (the “PCAOB”) defines a material weakness as a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. We will be relying on the proper implementation of our policies and procedures to remedy any such material weaknesses, and prevent any potential material misstatements in our financial reporting. Any such misstatement could adversely affect the trading price of our common stock, cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, and subject us to civil and criminal fines and penalties. If our acquired companies fail to integrate in these important ways, or we fail to adequately understand the business operations of our acquired companies, our growth and financial results could suffer.

 

We may enter into acquisitions and take actions in connection with such transactions that could adversely affect our business and results of operations.

 

Our future growth rate depends in part on our selective acquisition of biopharma, CBD, and other businesses and assets. We may be unable to identify suitable targets for acquisition or make further acquisitions at favorable prices. If we identify a suitable acquisition candidate, our ability to successfully complete the acquisition would depend on a variety of factors, and may include our ability to obtain financing on acceptable terms and requisite government approvals. In addition, any credit agreements or credit facilities that we may enter into in the future may restrict our ability to make certain acquisitions. In connection with future acquisitions, we could take certain actions that could adversely affect our business, including:

 

·         using a significant portion of our available cash;

·         issuing equity securities, which would dilute current stockholders’ percentage ownership;

·         incurring substantial debt;

·         incurring or assuming contingent liabilities, known or unknown;

·         incurring amortization expenses related to intangibles; and

·         incurring large accounting write-offs or impairments.

 

We may also enter into joint ventures, which involve certain unique risks, including, among others, risks relating to the lack of full control of the joint venture, potential disagreements with our joint venture partners about how to manage the joint venture, conflicting interests of the joint venture, requirement to fund the joint venture and its business not being profitable.

 

In addition, we cannot be certain that the due diligence investigation that we conduct with respect to any investment or acquisition opportunity will reveal or highlight all relevant facts that may be necessary or helpful in evaluating such investment opportunity. For example, instances of fraud, accounting irregularities and other deceptive practices can be difficult to detect. Executive officers, directors and employees may be named as defendants in litigation involving a company we are acquiring or have acquired. Even if we conduct extensive due diligence on a particular investment or acquisition, we may fail to uncover all material issues relating to such investment, including regarding controls and procedures of a particular target or the full scope of its contractual arrangements. We rely on our due diligence to identify potential liabilities in the businesses we acquire, including such things as potential or actual lawsuits, contractual obligations or liabilities imposed by government regulation. However, our due diligence process may not uncover these liabilities, and where we identify a potential liability, we may incorrectly believe that we can consummate the acquisition without subjecting ourselves to that liability. Therefore, it is possible that we could be subject to litigation in respect of these acquired businesses. If our due diligence fails to identify issues specific to an investment or acquisition, we may obtain a lower return from that transaction than the investment would return or otherwise subject ourselves to unexpected liabilities. We may also be forced to write-down or write-off assets, restructure our operations or incur impairment or other charges that could result in our reporting losses. Charges of this nature could contribute to negative market perceptions about us or our shares of common stock.

 

We do not intend to pay dividends on our common stock.

 

We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. We currently anticipate that we will retain all of our available cash, if any, for use as working capital and for other general corporate purposes. Any payment of future dividends will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend upon, among other things, our earnings, financial condition, capital requirements, level of indebtedness, statutory and contractual restrictions applying to the payment of dividends and other considerations that the Board of Directors deems relevant. Investors must rely on sales of their common stock after price appreciation, which may never occur, as the only way to realize a return on their investment. Investors seeking cash dividends should not purchase our common stock.

 

We may enter into acquisitions and take actions in connection with such transactions that could adversely affect our business and results of operations.

 

Our future growth rate depends in part on our selective acquisition of additional businesses and assets. We may be unable to identify suitable targets for acquisition or make further acquisitions at favorable prices. If we identify a suitable acquisition candidate, our ability to successfully complete the acquisition would depend on a variety of factors, and may include our ability to obtain financing on acceptable terms and requisite government approvals. In addition, any credit agreements or credit facilities that we may enter into in the future may restrict our ability to make certain acquisitions. In connection with future acquisitions, we could take certain actions that could adversely affect our business, including:

 

 

We may also enter into joint ventures, which involve certain unique risks, including, among others, risks relating to the lack of full control of the joint venture, potential disagreements with our joint venture partners about how to manage the joint venture, conflicting interests of the joint venture, requirement to fund the joint venture and its business not being profitable.

 

In addition, we cannot be certain that the due diligence investigation that we conduct with respect to any investment or acquisition opportunity will reveal or highlight all relevant facts that may be necessary or helpful in evaluating such investment opportunity. For example, instances of fraud, accounting irregularities and other deceptive practices can be difficult to detect. Executive officers, directors and employees may be named as defendants in litigation involving a company we are acquiring or have acquired. Even if we conduct extensive due diligence on a particular investment or acquisition, we may fail to uncover all material issues relating to such investment, including regarding controls and procedures of a particular target or the full scope of its contractual arrangements. We rely on our due diligence to identify potential liabilities in the businesses we acquire, including such things as potential or actual lawsuits, contractual obligations or liabilities imposed by government regulation. However, our due diligence process may not uncover these liabilities, and where we identify a potential liability, we may incorrectly believe that we can consummate the acquisition without subjecting ourselves to that liability. Therefore, it is possible that we could be subject to litigation in respect of these acquired businesses. If our due diligence fails to identify issues specific to an investment or acquisition, we may obtain a lower return from that transaction than the investment would return or otherwise subject ourselves to unexpected liabilities. We may also be forced to write-down or write-off assets, restructure our operations or incur impairment or other charges that could result in our reporting losses. Charges of this nature could contribute to negative market perceptions about us or our shares of common stock.

 

Social Media Presents Risks. 

 

The use of social media could cause us to suffer brand damage or unintended information disclosure. Negative posts or communications about us on a social networking website could damage our reputation. Further, employees or others may disclose non-public information regarding us or our business or otherwise make negative comments regarding us on social networking or other websites, which could adversely affect our business and results of operations. As social media evolves we will be presented with new risks and challenges.

 

 

 

As of December 31, 2020, there were no unresolved SEC comments issued to the Company.

Our common stock is currently quoted on the OTC’s Expert-Market under the symbol “KDCE”. Trading in stocks quoted on the OTC’s Expert-Market, a “private market to serve broker-dealer pricing and best execution needs in securities that are restricted from public quoting or trading,” is often difficult, thin and is characterized by wide fluctuations in trading prices due to many factors that may have little to do with a company’s operations or business prospects. We cannot assure you that you could currently be able to find buyers or sellers of our stocks on the expert-market.  We cannot assure you there will be a market for our common stock in the future.

 

The market prices noted below were obtained from the OTC market and reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-up, mark-down or commission and may not represent actual transactions.

 For the periods indicated, the following table sets forth the high and low bid prices per share of common stock based on inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-up, mark-down or commission and may not represent actual transactions.

This report contains certain forward-looking statements and information relating to us that are based on the beliefs and assumptions made by our management as well as information currently available to the management. When used in this document, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect our current views with respect to future events and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. If one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or if underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described herein as anticipated, believed, estimated, or expected.

 

You should read the following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations together with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes to the financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. The forward-looking statements are not historical facts, but rather are based on current expectations, estimates, assumptions and projections about our industry, business and future financial results. Our actual results could differ materially from the results contemplated by these forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including those discussed under “Item 1A. Risk Factors” and other sections in this Annual Report.

 

General

 

The following discussion highlights Kid Castle results of operations and the principal factors that have affected our financial condition as well as our liquidity and capital resources for the periods described and provides information that management believes is relevant for an assessment and understanding of the statements of financial condition and results of operations presented herein. The following discussion and analysis are based on our audited Financial Report, which we have prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles. You should read this discussion and analysis together with such financial statements and the related notes thereto.

 

Kid Castle Educational Corporation, a Delaware corporation, (“Kid Castle,” “the Company,” “We,” “KDCE,” "Us" or “Our’) intends to operate and manage biopharmaceutical, agricultural and "pure-play" CBD assets that are (or could be) vertically integrated and "2018 Farm Bill" compliant in the United States of America. Kid Castle engages in rollup and consolidation of CBD and Biopharma assets and operations.  The Company seeks make and sell pharmaceuticals and non-pharmaceutical CBD products across the United States of America.    The CBD market in the United States is young and very fragmented, lack established process control and protocols and is yet to establish formulations standardization.  Above problem added to the Company’s limited resources, could frustrate the Company goals and business plan as contemplated.  It would be difficult for the Company to raise the necessary capital to achieve its goals.

 

As at the date of this filing, the Company does not currently, nor does it intend, in the future to, maintain an ownership interest in any cannabis growing, marijuana dispensaries or production facilities. The Company only targets businesses that are focused on Hemp-based CBD products, which are “Farm Bill” compliant. The Company does not grow, process, own, handle, transport, or sell cannabis or marijuana as the Company is organized and directed to operate strictly in accordance with all applicable state and federal laws.  A “Farm Bill” compliant business is one that strictly cultivates and utilizes “hemp” as specified by the Bill.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The audited financial statements for our fiscal years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 include a summary of our significant accounting policies and should be read in conjunction with the discussion below. In the opinion of management, all material adjustments necessary to present fairly the results of operations for such periods have been included in these audited financial statements. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, in which the Company has a controlling voting interest and entities consolidated under the variable interest entities (“VIE”) provisions of ASC 810, “Consolidation” (“ASC 810”). Inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

 

ASC 810 requires that the investor with the controlling financial interest should consolidate the investee/affiliate. ASC 810-10 requires that an equity interest investor consolidates a VIE when it retains an investment in the entity, is considered a variable interest investor in the entity, and is the primary beneficiary of the entity. An investor in a VIE is a “variable interest beneficiary” when, per an arrangement’s governing documents, the investor will absorb a portion of the VIE’s expected losses or will receive a portion of the entity’s “residual returns.” The variable interest beneficiary retaining a controlling financial interest in the VIE is designated as its “primary beneficiary” and must consolidate the VIE. A variable interest beneficiary retains a “controlling financial interest” in a VIE when that beneficiary retains the power to direct the activities of the VIE that have the greatest influence over the VIE’s economic performance and retains an obligation to absorb the VIE’s significant losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE.  Based on the ASC 810 test above, Kid Castle Educational Corporation is the primary beneficiary of GiveMePower Corporation (the “VIE”) because Kid Castle retained a controlling financial interest in the VIE and has the power to direct the activities of the VIE, having the greatest influence over the VIE’s economic performance and retains an obligation to absorb the VIE’s significant losses and the right to determine and receive benefits from the VIE. 

 

Because GiveMePower Corporation is 88% controlled by Kid Castle Educational Corporation, the consolidation rule requires that the Revenue, Assets and Liabilities recognized and disclosed on the  financial statements of GiveMePower Corporation are also recognized and disclosed on the financial statements of Kid Castle Educational Corporation pursuant to ASC 810.

 

Overview

 

Corporate History

 

On October 21, 2019, the company sold one (1) million shares of its preferred shares (one preferred share is convertible 1,000 share of common stocks) of the company for $55,000 to Cannabinoid Biosciences, Inc., a California corporation. The issuance of the preferred shares to Cannabinoid Biosciences, Inc gave to Cannabinoid Biosciences, Inc, the controlling vote to control and dominate the affairs of the company. 

 

Following the share sales to Cannabinoid Biosciences, Inc., the purchaser converted 70,000 of the preferred shares for 70,000,000 shares of the Company's current outstanding shares of common stock.  Following the change of control, all the former officers of company resigned their appointments and Mr. Frank I Igwealor was appointed as the Company's Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors effective October 23, 2019.  Furthermore, Mr. Igwealor, Dr. Solomon SK Mbagwu, MD, and Ms. Patience C Ogbozor were also nominated as new director of the Company.  

 

Furthermore, on November 8, 2019, Cannabinoid Biosciences, Inc., elected to convert 830,000 of the preferred shares for it purchased from Kid Castle on October 21, 2019 into 830,000,000 shares of the Company's current outstanding shares of common stock.  

 

The current structure of the Company resulted from a purchase of voting control of the Company by Cannabinoid Biosciences, Inc. (CBDZ), which CBDZ spun out to its shareholders prior to becoming an operating subsidiary of Kid Castle.  

 

After the closing of the transaction, Cannabinoid Biosciences, Inc.’s board voted to spin the shares out to its shareholders.  Cannabinoid Biosciences, Inc. itself was then sold to the Company to become its operating subsidiary.

 

We used the acquisition of method of accounting for acquisition of subsidiaries by the Group method to account for the purchase of Cannabinoid Biosciences, Inc. The cost of the acquisition was measured as the fair value of the assets given, equity instruments issued and liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of exchange.

 

Cannabinoid Biosciences, Inc. (“CBDZ”), a California corporation was incorporated on May 6, 2014, to operate as a biotechnology and specialty pharmaceutical holding company that engages in the discovery, development, and commercialization of cures and novel therapeutics from proprietary cannabinoid, cannabidiol, endocannabinoids, phytocannabinoids, and synthetic cannabinoids product platform suitable for specific treatments in a broad range of disease areas. CBDZ engages in biopharmaceutical research and development operation with aim of identifying viable drug candidates to go into clinical trials and if successful, be submitted to the FDA for approval.   Because the Company is young and has limited or no resources, and the legal CBD industry is still in its infancy (following the 2018 Farm Bill), the Company lack of resources is likely to affect its ability to bring an industry-wide reform as contemplated above.  It would be difficult for the Company to raise the necessary capital to achieve its goals.

 

Strategy

 

The acquisition of control by the shareholders of Cannabinoid Biosciences, Inc. and subsequent rollup of CBDZ into the Company transformed our business model by incorporating the business plan of CBDZ whose stated intention was to merge into Kid Castle in a transaction that would make CBDZ a subsidiary of Kid Castle.  This acquisition brought the Company into the following areas of the legal CBD business: (1) Ownership interest in certain businesses that extract, purchase and distribute Bulk Pure CBD, Isolate, Hemp Oil, THC-free CBD Distillate and Crude CBD Oil; (2) Partnerships with local farmers to grow farm bill compliant hemp biomass; (3) Partnerships with extract facilities across the U.S. who manufacture hemp-based ingredients to meet specific medical.

 

The Company (“CBDZ and KDCE” or “KDCE” or “CBDZ”) seeks to make and sell CBD products across the United States of America.  The Company would seeks to control the manufacturing/production and distribution of verities of consumer cannabidiol (CBD) formulation under private brands in the United States by controlling process through steps that include (a) ethanol extraction system, (b) winterization to remove fats; (c) multiple rounds of rotary evaporation are used to remove plant material and other unnecessary components; (d) extract decarboxylation to transform into a crystalline structure; and (e) get the extract tested by third-party laboratories, package it, and get it ready for shipment.

 

 

Plan of Operations for the Next Twelve Months

 

Kid Castle will need approximately $1,500,000 to sustain operations for the next 12 months. Our plan is to achieve meaningful revenue from acquisitions of profitable CBD businesses to meet our operating needs. However, we may not be able to increase our revenue sufficiently to meet these needs in time. It is also unlikely that we will be able to generate $1,500,000 in net income to satisfy all of our obligations and cover our operating cost for the next 12 months. Our ability to continue operations will be dependent upon the successfully long-term or permanent capital in form of equity financing, the support of creditors and shareholders, and, ultimately, the achievement of profitable operations. There can be no assurances that we will be successful, which would in turn significantly affect our ability to be successful in our new business plan. If not, we will likely be required to reduce operations or liquidate assets. We will continue to evaluate our projected expenditures relative to our available cash and to seek additional means of financing in order to satisfy our working capital and other cash requirements. 

 

We intend to implement the following tasks within the next twelve months:

 

1. Month 1-3: Phase 1 (1-3 months in duration; $600,000 to $1 million in estimated fund receipt)
1. Hire the 2 biologist/scientists, Henry and Leke, hire 1 bookkeepers, business development manager and officer manager to implement our business plan.
2. Acquire and consolidate stakes in the operations of at least two select biopharma businesses.
2. Month 3-6 Phase 2 (1-3 months in duration; cost control, process improvements, admin & management.).
1. Integrate acquired business into the Company’s model – consolidate the operations of the businesses including integration of their accounting and finance systems, synchronization of their operating systems, and harmonization of their human resources functions.
2. Complete and file quarterly reports and other required filings for the quarter
3. Month 6-9:  Phase 3 (1-3 months in duration; $600,000 to $900,000 in estimated fund receipt)
1. Identify and acquire complementary/similar businesses or assets in the target market
4. Month 9-12: Phase 4  (1-3 months duration; use acquired businesses’ free cash flow for more acquisitions)
1. Run the businesses efficiently, giving employees a conducive and friendly workplace and add value to investors and shareholders by identifying and reducing excesses and also identifying and executing growth strategies
2. Acquire more businesses that are below their book-value or undervalued businesses, restructure the businesses, and sell the businesses for profit or hold them for cash flow.
5. Operating expenses during the twelve months would be as follows:
1. For the six months through February 28, 2022, we anticipate to incur general and other operating expenses of $388,000. 
2. For the six months through August 31, 2021 we anticipate to incur additional general and other operating expenses of $378,000. 

 

The execution of our current plan of operations requires us to raise significant additional capital immediately. If we are successful in raising capital through the sale of shares or borrowing, we believe that the Company will have sufficient cash resources to fund its plan of operations for the next twelve months.

 

If we are unable to do so, our ability to continue as a going concern will be in jeopardy, likely causing us to curtail and possibly cease operations.

 

We continually evaluate our plan of operations discussed above to determine the manner in which we can most effectively utilize our limited cash resources. The timing of completion of any aspect of our plan of operations is highly dependent upon the availability of cash to implement that aspect of the plan and other factors beyond our control. There is no assurance that we will successfully obtain the required capital or revenues, or, if obtained, that the amounts will be sufficient to fund our ongoing operations. The inability to secure additional capital would have a material adverse effect on us, including the possibility that we would have to sell or forego a portion or all of our assets or cease operations. If we discontinue our operations, we will not have sufficient funds to pay any amounts to our stockholders.

 

Even if we raise additional capital in the near future, if our current business plan is not successfully executed, our ability to fund our biopharmaceutical research and development, or our financial product deployment and services efforts would likely be seriously impaired. The ability of a biopharmaceutical research and development business and continuing operations is conditioned upon moving the development of products and services toward commercialization. If in the future we are not able to demonstrate adequate progress in the development and commercialization of our product, we will not be able to raise the capital we need to continue our business operations and business activities, and we will likely not have sufficient liquidity or cash resources to continue operating.

 

Because our working capital requirements depend upon numerous factors there can be no assurance that our current cash resources will be sufficient to fund our operations. At present, we have no committed external sources of capital, and do not expect any significant product revenues for the foreseeable future. Thus, we will require immediate additional financing to fund future operations. There can be no assurance, however, that we will be able to obtain funds on acceptable terms, if at all.

 

MERGERS AND ACQUISITION

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, in which the Company has a controlling voting interest and entities consolidated under the variable interest entities (“VIE”) provisions of ASC 810, “Consolidation” (“ASC 810”). Inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

 

On October 21, 2019, the Company sold a controlling stake in the Company to Cannabinoid Biosciences, Inc. (CBDZ), which CBDZ spun out to its shareholders prior to becoming an operating subsidiary of Kid Castle.  After the closing of the transaction, Cannabinoid Biosciences, Inc.’s board voted to spin the shares out to its shareholders.  Cannabinoid Biosciences, Inc. itself was then sold to the Company to become its operating subsidiary.  The Company bought 96% of outstanding shares of voting common stocks of Cannabinoid Biosciences, Inc. for $1.00.  The primary reason for the acquisition was to help the Company to gain entrance into the CBD industry. We used the acquisition method of accounting (also known as business combination accounting) for acquisition of subsidiaries by the Group method to account for the purchase of Cannabinoid Biosciences, Inc. The cost of the acquisition was measured as the fair value of the assets given, equity instruments issued and liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of exchange.

Management's discussion and analysis of its financial condition and plan of operations is based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  The preparation of these financial statements requires that we make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.  At each balance sheet date, management evaluates its estimates.  We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.  Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.  The estimates and critical accounting policies that are most important in fully understanding and evaluating our financial condition and results of operations include those stated in our financial statements and those listed below:

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As shown in the accompanying financial statements, we had limited/insignificant cash flows from operations for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.  These conditions raise substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern.  Management intends to finance these deficits by making additional shareholder notes and seeking additional outside financing through either debt or sales of its Common Stock.

 

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

 

Leases

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). This ASU requires lessees to recognize a lease liability, on a discounted basis, and a right-of-use asset for substantially all leases, as well as additional disclosures regarding leasing arrangements. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842), which provides an optional transition method of applying the new lease standard.

 

In considering its qualitative disclosure obligations under ASC 842-20-50-3, the Company determined that it has no leases subject to treatment under ASC 842-20-50-3.

 

The adoption of this guidance resulted in no significant impact to our results of operations or cash flows.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

For annual reporting periods after December 15, 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) made effective ASU 2014-09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” to supersede previous revenue recognition guidance under current U.S. GAAP. Revenue is now recognized in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 606, Revenue Recognition. The guidance presents a single five-step model for comprehensive revenue recognition that requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Two options are available for implementation of the standard which is either the retrospective approach or cumulative effect adjustment approach. The guidance became effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period, with early adoption permitted. As we have no operations at this time that generate revenue, we determined that upon adoption of ASC 606 there were no adjustments converting from ASC 605 to ASC 606.

  

Income Taxes

 

We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns in accordance with applicable accounting guidance for accounting for income taxes, using currently enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. We record a valuation allowance when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. For the year ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, due to cumulative losses, we recorded a valuation allowance against our deferred tax asset that reduced our income tax benefit for the period to zero. As of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2018, we had no liabilities related to federal or state income taxes and the carrying value of our deferred tax asset was zero.

 

Loss Contingencies

 

Consistent with ASC 450-20-50-1C, if the Company determines that there is a reasonable possibility that a material loss may have been incurred, or is reasonably estimable, regardless of whether the Company accrued for such a loss (or any portion of that loss), the Company will confer with its legal counsel, consistent with ASC 450. If the material loss is determinable or reasonably estimable, the Company will record it in its accounts and as a liability on the balance sheet. If the Company determines that such an estimate cannot be made, the Company's policy is to disclose a demonstration of its attempt to estimate the loss or range of losses before concluding that an estimate cannot be made, and to disclose it in the notes to the financial statements under Contingent Liabilities.

 

Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share

 

We report net income (loss) per common share in accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings per Share.” This statement requires dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings with a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the earnings per share computations. Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period and excludes the effects of any potentially dilutive securities. Diluted net income (loss) per share gives effect to any dilutive potential common stock outstanding during the period. The computation does not assume conversion, exercise or contingent exercise of securities that would have an anti-dilutive effect on earnings.

 

Related Party Transactions

 

We follow ASC subtopic 850-10, “Related Party Transactions,” for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions.

 

Pursuant to ASC 850-10-20, related parties include: a) affiliates of the Company; b) entities for which investments in their equity securities would be required, absent the election of the fair value option under the Fair Value Option Subsection of Section 825–10–15, to be accounted for by the equity method by the investing entity; c) trusts for the benefit of employees, such as pension and profit-sharing trusts that are managed by or under the trusteeship of management; d) principal owners of the Company; e) management of the Company; f) other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests; and g) other parties that can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or that have an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests.

 

Material related party transactions are required to be disclosed in the financial statements, other than compensation arrangements, expense allowances, and other similar items in the ordinary course of business. However, disclosure of transactions that are eliminated in the preparation of or combined financial statements is not required in those statements. The disclosures shall include: a) the nature of the relationship(s) involved; b) a description of the transactions, including transactions to which no amounts or nominal amounts were ascribed, for each of the periods for which statements of operation are presented, and such other information deemed necessary to an understanding of the effects of the transactions on the financial statements; c) the dollar amounts of transactions for each of the periods for which statements of operations are presented and the effects of any change in the method of establishing the terms from that used in the preceding period; and d) amounts due from or to related parties as of the date of each balance sheet presented and, if not otherwise apparent, the terms and manner of settlement.

Results of Operations

 

Comparison of Fiscal Years 2020 and 2019

 

Our financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.

 

Revenues ― The Company recorded $1,628,136 in revenue for the fiscal year ended December 2020 as compared to $6,189 revenue for the fiscal year ended December 2019.

 

Operating Expenses ― Our general and administrative expenses were $159,463 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2019, versus $150,133 for the same period in 2019.  

 

Net Loss ― The Company recorded net loss of $82,980 for the fiscal year ended December 2019 as compared to $149,682 for the fiscal year ended December 2019.

   

Accumulated Deficit – As at December 31, 2020, we have accumulated deficit of $7,879,875 compared to accumulated deficit of $7,801,050 as at December 31, 2019. 

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Cash and Cash Equivalent – As at December 31, 2020, we had $1,630 cash on hand compared to $10,879 as at December 31, 2019. 

 

Other Current Assets – Inventory and Receivables - As at December 31, 2020, we had $92,282 in account receivable compared to $8,620 as at December 31, 2019. 

 

Other Assets – Investments and Real Estate – As at December 31, 2020, we had $664,110 of real estate and other investment in a private company compared to $41,579 as at December 31, 2019. 

 

Related parties liabilities - As at December 31, 2020, we had $604,272 balance from advances from related compared to $41,559 as at December 31, 2019. 

 

We anticipate that our cash position is not sufficient to fund current operations.   We have limited lending relationships with commercial banks and are dependent upon the completion of one or more financings or equity raises to fund our continuing operations.   We anticipate that we will seek additional capital through debt or equity financings.   While we are aggressively pursuing financing, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in our capital raising efforts.   Any additional equity financing may result in substantial dilution to our stockholders.

 

Since 2019, all of our operations have been financed through advances from a company controlled by our president and CEO.  As of December 31, 2020, the company controlled by our president and CEO has loaned $604,272 to us, pursuant to a Line of Credit Agreements to advance or loan any additional funds to us in the future.  We have not yet achieved significant profitability.  We expect that our general and administrative expenses will continue to increase and, as a result, we will need to generate significant revenues to achieve significant profitability. We may never achieve significant profitability.  Future financing of our operation depends largely on our controlling shareholder, Mr. Igwealor, advancing most or all of our operating budget.

 

Our financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to raise additional debt or equity funding to meet our ongoing operating expenses and ultimately in merging with another entity with experienced management and profitable operations. No assurances can be given that we will be successful in achieving these objectives.

 

We have not established revenue generating operations and will be dependent upon obtaining financing to pursue any future extensive acquisitions and activities. The revenues, if any, generated from our operations or acquisitions may not be sufficient to fund our operations or planned growth. We will require additional capital to continue to operate our business, and to further expand our business. Sources of additional capital through various financing transactions or arrangements with third parties may include equity or debt financing, bank loans or revolving credit facilities. We may not be successful in locating suitable financing transactions in the time period required or at all, and we may not obtain the capital we require by other means.

 

We will now be obligated to file annual, quarterly and current reports with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act. In addition, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“Sarbanes-Oxley”) and the rules subsequently implemented by the SEC and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board have imposed various requirements on public companies, including requiring changes in corporate governance practices. We expect these rules and regulations to increase our legal and financial compliance costs and to make some activities of ours more time- consuming and costly. In order to meet the needs to comply with the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act, we will need investment of capital.

 

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As of December 31, 2020, we did not engage in any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4) of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

 

Contractual Obligations

 

Not applicable.

 

 

 

We are exposed to market risk, including changes in certain interest rates. All of these market risks arise in the normal course of business, as we do not engage in speculative trading activities. We have not entered into derivative or hedging transactions to manage risk in connection with such fluctuations.

 

This analysis does not take into consideration the effect of changes in the level of overall economic activity on interest rate fluctuations.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Kid Castle Educational Corporation (the "Company") as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity, for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2020, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2020, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

Going Concern Uncertainty

 

These financial The Company's financial statements are prepared using the generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.

 

The Company has an accumulated deficit of $7,879,875 and a negative cash flow from operations amounting to $82,979 for the year ended December 31, 2020. These factors as discussed in Note 2 of the financial statements raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

 

Critical Audit Matters

 

Critical audit matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relate to accounts or disclosure that are material to the financial statements and (2) involve especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgements. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit maters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

 

Revenue recognition

 

As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the revenue related to the sale of investment property & sale of trading securities are particularly outside of the intended nature of operations of Video Rivers Networks Inc. (NIHK).

 

We identified the Company’s revenue recognition policy for sale of investment property & sale of trading securities as a critical audit matter.

 

The procedures performed to address the mater included; obtaining and reviewing legal documents for each transaction, examining the support for the consideration received to ensure proper valuation and evaluating if the assets sold constitute a business as defined by generally accepted accounting principles

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, Kid Castle Educational Corporation (KDCE) is the primary beneficiary of GiveMePower Corporation (GMPW), a related party but filing a separate SEC 10K report. Kid Castle Educational Corporation controlled 88% of GMPW. Also, Video River Networks, Inc. (NIHK) exercises control of 55% of the voting shares and 100% of the operational and financial control of Kid Castle Educational Corporation and filing a separate SEC 10K report.

 

We identified the Company’s principle of consolidation as a critical audit matter because, the same revenue and assets are reported by the three Companies in their separate SEC 10K filing.

 

The procedures performed to address the matter included; reviewing the audit of GMPW, discussed with the Company’s management the full disclosures of the matter.
