SUBJECT TO COMPLETION

1,625,000 shares of Common Stock

 

elite_s1aimg10.jpg

 

Elite Performance Holding Corp.

 ____________________________________

 

We are offering 1,625,000 shares of our common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), at an assumed public offering price of $4.00.

 

We have one class of Common Stock. Each share of Common Stock is entitled to one vote. We have applied to list our Common Stock on Nasdaq under the symbol “BYLT”.  We believe that upon the completion of this offering, we will meet the standards for listing on Nasdaq.  The closing of this offering is contingent upon such listing.

 

As our stock is not yet quoted, and there is no current market price, the public offering price per share of Common Stock will be determined by us and the underwriters, at the time of pricing.   

 

In connection with this offering, we will complete a 10-for-1 reverse split of our common stock immediately prior to the closing of this offering (the “Reverse Stock Split”). Unless otherwise noted, the share and per share information in this prospectus reflects, other than in our historical financial statements and the notes thereto, a proposed reverse stock split of the outstanding common stock of the Company as of the date of this prospectus at an assumed 10-for-1 ratio to occur immediately following the time when the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part is declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission but prior to the closing of the offering.  

 

OUR CURRENT CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER AND DIRECTOR, MR. JOEY FIRESTONE HAS SUFFICIENT VOTING POWER TO CONTROL THE VOTE ON SUBSTANTIALLY ALL CORPORATE MATTERS.

 

Joey Firestone, our Chief Executive Officer and director has sufficient voting power through his ownership of 10,000,000 Series A Preferred Stock with Super Voting Rights to control the vote on substantially all corporate matters. Accordingly, Mr. Firestone will be able to determine the composition of our Board of Directors, will retain the effective voting power to approve all matters requiring shareholder approval, will prevail in matters requiring shareholder approval, including, in particular the election and removal of Directors, and will continue to have significant influence over our business. As a result of his ownership and position in the Company, Mr. Firestone is able to influence all matters requiring shareholder action, including significant corporate transactions.

 

Investing in our securities is highly speculative and involves a high degree of risk. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 6 for a discussion of information that should be considered in connection with an investment in our Common Stock.

 

Neither the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state or provincial securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

We have agreed to issue the Underwriter’s Warrants to the representatives of the underwriter as a portion of the underwriting compensation payable to the underwriters in connection with this offering, but such Underwriter’s Warrants and the common stock to be issued to the underwriters upon the exercise of the Underwriter’s Warrants) are not being registered for sale in this offering.

If the underwriters exercise the option in full, the total underwriting discount and commissions, not including other offering expenses, will be $672,750, based on the assumed public offering price of $4.00 per share, and the total gross proceeds to us, before underwriting discounts, commissions and expenses, will be $7,475,000. Net proceeds will be delivered to us on the closing date.

Our Company

 

ON NOVEMBER 16, 2021, THE SEC ISSUED AN ORDER REVOKING THE REGSTRATION OF THE COMPANY’S SECURITIES PURSUANT TO SECTION 12(j) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934 DUE TO DELINQUENT SEC PERIODIC REPORTS.

 

On November 16, 2021, under Release No. 93585, Administrative Proceeding 3-20532, the SEC issued an Order revoking the registration of the Company’s securities pursuant to Section 12(j) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) for failure to file timely periodic unaudited and audited financial reports since the period ending December 31, 2019.  The Order was effective on November 17, 2021.  Subsequently, the Company completed the filing of its delinquent audited and unaudited SEC periodic reports, and on September 11, 2023, the Company filed a Form 8A-12g to again become subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, and as of today, the Company is current in its filing obligations.  It is imperative that the Company continue to file its periodic reports on a timely basis, as failure to do so would again subject the Company to revocation of its Exchange Act registration, the impact of which would negatively impact both the Company and its shareholders, as the Company’s securities would cease trading.  If the Company’s securities were to cease trading, this could cause the Company’s shareholders to lose their investments.  

 

Overview

 

Company Overview

 

Elite Performance Holding Corporation (“EPH”) was formed on January 30, 2018 (inception) and is a holding company with anticipated holdings in companies centered on innovative and proprietary nutritional and dietary fitness enhancement products, that are in the sports performance, weight loss, nutritional, functional beverage and energy markets. The team is composed of highly experienced business, marketing and sales executives in the beverage and nutritional space, who are passionate about health and nutrition.

 

On February 2, 2018, the Company closed on a Stock Exchange Agreement (“SEA”) with Elite Beverage International Corp. (“Elite Beverage”). Pursuant to the SEA, we purchased all of Elite Beverage’s 100,000,000 common shares and 10,000,000 preferred shares, which gave the Company ownership of all of its assets and liabilities in exchange for 50,000,000 common shares and 10,000,000 preferred shares of the Company. Following the SEA, Elite Beverage is now a 100% wholly owned subsidiary of Elite Performance Holding Corp.

 

Elite Beverage was formed on November 29, 2017 (inception) and is currently producing a functional hydration beverage. B.Y.L.T.® (Beyond Your Limit Training) sports drink that combines the benefits of hydration, muscle repair, and recovery all-in-one refreshing beverage. Whether you are looking to achieve optimal performance on the baseball field, basketball court, soccer field, in the gym or any competitive sport, B.Y.L.T.® provides the competitive edge every athlete actively seeks. This unique product is designed with scientifically dosed key ingredients to bridge the gap between the current sports drinks filled with sugars that have serve no function, hydration beverages and dietary supplements, without the crash from sugars and jitters from caffeine which eventually leads to a decrease in performance for athletes. B.Y.L.T.® is designed to enhance performance and support the intense physical demand of athletes.

This acquisition was accounted for as an acquisition by entities under common control due to the fact that both Elite Performance Holding Corp. and Elite Beverage were commonly held by Joey Firestone and Jon McKenzie. The ownership structure of the Company did not change as a result nor did any of its officer’s change positions.

 

The mission of Elite Performance Holding Corp. is to aggressively seek and acquire companies with niche products that are first to market and can be exploited in the $35 billion nutritional and sport beverage industries. The goal of EPH is to effectuate its unique business model through strategic branding and marketing, to aggressively scale companies to size, and operate them efficiently to maximize growth, revenue production and eventual net income. On February 2, 2018, a contribution and assignment agreement was executed by Joey Firestone and Jon McKenzie (collectively, the “Assignors”), and Elite Performance Holding Corp., a Nevada corporation (the “Assignee”). Whereas Firestone and McKenzie were the owners of 50,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value, for a total of 100,000,000 shares of common stock (collectively, the “Shares”) of Elite Beverage, which shares represented all authorized, issued and outstanding shares of the Company.

 

Joey Firestone, our Chief Executive Officer and director has sufficient voting power through his ownership of 10,000,000 Series A Preferred Stock with Super Voting Rights to control the vote on substantially all corporate matters. Accordingly, Mr. Firestone will be able to determine the composition of our Board of Directors, will retain the effective voting power to approve all matters requiring shareholder approval, will prevail in matters requiring shareholder approval, including, in particular the election and removal of Directors, and will continue to have significant influence over our business. As a result of his ownership and position in the Company, Mr. Firestone is able to influence all matters requiring shareholder action, including significant corporate transactions.

RISK FACTORS

 

An investment in our Common Stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the following risk factors, together with the other information contained in this prospectus, before purchasing our Common Stock. We have listed below (not necessarily in order of importance or probability of occurrence) what we believe to be the most significant risk factors applicable to us, but they do not constitute all of the risks that may be applicable to us. Any of the following factors could harm our business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects, and could result in a partial or complete loss of your investment. Some statements in this prospectus, including statements in the following risk factors, constitute forward-looking statements. Please refer to the section titled “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements”.

 

ON NOVEMBER 16, 2021, THE SEC ISSUED AN ORDER REVOKING THE REGSTRATION OF THE COMPANY’S SECURITIES PURSUANT TO SECTION 12(j) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934 DUE TO DELINQUENT SEC PERIODIC REPORTS.

 

On November 16, 2021, under Release No. 93585, Administrative Proceeding 3-20532, the SEC issued an Order revoking the registration of the Company’s securities pursuant to Section 12(j) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) for failure to file timely periodic unaudited and audited financial reports since the period ending December 31, 2019.  The Order was effective on November 17, 2021.  Subsequently, the Company completed the filing of its delinquent audited and unaudited SEC periodic reports, and on September 11, 2023, the Company filed a Form 8A-12g to again become subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, and as of today, the Company is current in its filing obligations.  It is imperative that the Company continue to file its periodic reports on a timely basis, as failure to do so would again subject the Company to revocation of its Exchange Act registration, the impact of which would negatively impact both the Company and its shareholders, as the Company’s securities would cease trading.  If the Company’s securities were to cease trading, this could cause the Company’s shareholders to lose their investments.  

 

Risks Related to Our Business and Industry

 

WE HAVE HAD LIMITED OPERATIONS, HAVE INCURRED LOSSES SINCE INCEPTION, HAVE LIMITED CASH TO SUSTAIN OUR OPERATIONS, AND WE NEED ADDITIONAL CAPITAL TO EXECUTE OUR BUSINESS PLAN AND RECEIVED A GOING CONCERN OPINION IN PRIOR PERIODS.

 

The Company has suffered recurring losses. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had limited cash on hand and approximately $1,272,000 in convertible debt and loans payable owed at December 31, 2024. At December 31, 2024, the Company also had a stockholders’ deficit of $2,754,924. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The recoverability of a major portion of the recorded asset amounts shown in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet is dependent upon continued operations of the Company, which in turn, is dependent upon the Company’s ability to raise capital and/or generate positive cash flows from operations.

 

Management plans to achieve profitability by increasing its business through retail distribution and expanding its online ecommerce presence. There can be no assurance that the Company can raise the required capital to support operations or increase sales to achieve profitable operations. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence.

 

A DECLINE IN DISCRETIONARY CONSUMER SPENDING MAY ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR INDUSTRY, OUR OPERATIONS, AND ULTIMATELY OUR PROFITABILITY.

 

Consumer products, such as sports drinks, are discretionary purchases for consumers. Any reduction in consumer discretionary spending or disposable income may affect the sports beverage or functional beverage industry more significantly than other industries. Many economic factors outside of our control could affect consumer discretionary spending, including the financial markets, consumer credit availability, prevailing interest rates, energy costs, employment levels, salary levels, and tax rates. Any reduction in discretionary consumer spending could materially adversely affect our business and financial condition.

 

THERE IS A RISK ASSOCIATED WITH COVID-19

 

The Company’s operations were affected by the outbreak of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) which in March 2020, was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization. With news reports of recent COVID-19 cases, the ultimate disruption which may be caused by the outbreak is uncertain; however, it may result in a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial position, operations and cash flows. Possible areas that may be affected include, but are not limited to, disruption to the Company’s customers and revenue, labor workforce, unavailability of products and supplies used in operations, and the decline in value of assets held by the Company, including property and equipment.

 

OUR OPERATING RESULTS MAY BE ADVERSELY IMPACTED BY WORLDWIDE POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC UNCERTAINTIES AND SPECIFIC CONDITIONS IN THE MARKETS WE ADDRESS.

 

In the recent past, general worldwide economic conditions have experienced a downturn due to slower economic activity, concerns about inflation, increased energy costs, decreased consumer confidence, and reduced corporate profits and capital spending, and adverse business conditions. Any continuation or worsening of the current global economic and financial conditions could materially adversely affect (i) our ability to raise, or the cost of, needed capital, (ii) demand for our current and future products and (iii) our ability to commercialize products. We cannot predict the timing, strength, or duration of any economic slowdown or subsequent economic recovery, worldwide, or in the display industry.

 

THE LOSS OF THE SERVICES OF OUR KEY EMPLOYEES, PARTICULARLY THE SERVICES RENDERED BY OUR CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER AND DIRECTOR, MR. JOEY FIRESTONE, COULD HARM OUR BUSINESS.

 

We believe our success will depend, to a significant extent, on the efforts and abilities of Joey Firestone, our Chief Executive Officer. If we lost Mr. Firestone, we would be forced to expend significant time and money in the pursuit of a replacement, which would result in both a delay in the implementation of our business plan and the diversion of limited working capital. We can give you no assurance that we could find a satisfactory replacement for Mr. Firestone at all, or on terms that are not unduly expensive or burdensome.

OUR FUTURE SUCCESS DEPENDS UPON, IN LARGE PART, OUR CONTINUING ABILITY TO ATTRACT AND RETAIN QUALIFIED PERSONNEL.

 

If we grow and implement our business plan, we will need to add managerial talent to support our business plan. There is no guarantee that we will be successful in adding such managerial talent. These professionals are regularly recruited by other companies and may choose to change companies. Given our relatively small size compared to some of our competitors, the performance of our business may be more adversely affected than our competitors would be if we lose well-performing employees and are unable to attract new ones.

     

BECAUSE WE INTEND TO GROW BY ACQUISITIONS AND SUCH ACTIVITY INVOLVES A NUMBER OF RISKS, OUR BUSINESS MAY SUFFER.

 

We may consider acquisitions of assets or other business. Any acquisition or opening of another retail store or other operations involves a number of risks that could fail to meet our expectations and adversely affect our profitability. For example:

 

·

The acquired assets or business may not achieve expected results;

 

 

·

We may incur substantial, unanticipated costs, delays or other operational or financial problems when integrating the acquired assets;

 

 

·

We may not be able to retain key personnel of an acquired business;

 

 

·

We may not be able to raise the required capital to expand;

 

 

·

Our management’s attention may be diverted; or

 

 

·

Our management may not be able to manage the acquired assets or combined entity effectively or to make acquisitions and grow our business internally at the same time.

 

If these problems arise, we may not realize the expected benefits of an acquisition.

 

BECAUSE WE DEPEND ON OUR ABILITY TO IDENTIFY AND RESPOND TO CONSUMER TRENDS, IF WE MISJUDGE THESE TRENDS, OUR ABILITY TO MAINTAIN AND GAIN MARKET SHARE WILL BE AFFECTED.

 

The beverage industry is subject to rapidly changing consumer trends and shifting consumer demands. Accordingly, our success may depend on the priority that our target customers place on fashion and our ability to anticipate, identify, and capitalize upon emerging consumer trends. If we misjudge consumer trends or are unable to adjust our products in a timely manner, our net sales may decline or fail to meet expectations and any excess inventory may be sold at lower prices.

 

OUR ABILITY TO MAINTAIN OR INCREASE OUR REVENUES COULD BE HARMED IF WE ARE UNABLE TO STRENGTHEN AND MAINTAIN OUR BRAND IMAGE.

 

We have limited revenues and have spent significant amounts of time and money in branding our beverage lines. We believe that primary factors in determining customer buying decisions, especially in the beverage industry, are determined by price, confidence in the merchandise and quality associated with a brand. The ability to differentiate products from competitors of the Company has been a factor in attracting consumers. However, if the Company’s ability to promote its brand fails to garner brand recognition, its ability to generate revenues may suffer. If the Company fails to differentiate its products, its ability to sell its products wholesale will be adversely affected. These factors could result in lower selling prices and sales volumes, which could adversely affect its financial condition and results of operations.

 

IF WE WERE TO EXPERIENCE SUBSTANTIAL DEFAULTS BY OUR CUSTOMERS ON ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE, THIS COULD HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR LIQUIDITY AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

 

If customers responsible for a large amount of accounts receivable were to become insolvent or otherwise unable to pay for our products, or to make payments in a timely manner, our liquidity and results of operations could be materially adversely affected. An economic or industry downturn could materially affect the ability to collect these accounts receivable, which could then result in longer payment cycles, increased collections costs and defaults in excess of management’s expectations. A significant deterioration in the ability to collect on accounts receivable could affect our cash flow and working capital position.

 

WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO INCREASE SALES OR OTHERWISE SUCCESSFULLY OPERATE OUR BUSINESS, WHICH COULD HAVE A SIGNIFICANT NEGATIVE IMPACT ON OUR FINANCIAL CONDITION.

 

We believe that the key to our success will be to increase our revenues and available working capital. We may not have the resources required to promote our business and its potential benefits. If we are unable to gain market acceptance of our business, we will not be able to generate enough revenue to achieve and maintain profitability or to continue our operations.

 

We may not be able to increase our sales or effectively operate our business. To the extent we are unable to achieve sales growth, we may continue to incur losses. We may not be successful or make progress in the growth and operation of our business. Our current and future expense levels are based on operating plans and estimates of future sales and revenues and are subject to increase as strategies are implemented. Even if our sales grow, we may be unable to adjust spending in a timely manner to compensate for any unexpected revenue shortfall.

 

Further, if we substantially increase our operating expenses to increase sales and marketing, and such expenses are not subsequently followed by increased revenues, our operating performance and results would be adversely affected and, if sustained, could have a material adverse effect on our business. To the extent we implement cost reduction efforts to align our costs with revenue, our sales could be adversely affected.

WE MAY NEED ADDITIONAL FINANCING WHICH WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO OBTAIN ON ACCEPTABLE TERMS. IF WE ARE UNABLE TO RAISE ADDITIONAL CAPITAL, AS NEEDED, THE FUTURE GROWTH OF OUR BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS COULD BE SEVERELY LIMITED.

 

A limiting factor on our growth is our limited capitalization, which could impact our ability to execute on our business plan. If we raise additional capital through the issuance of debt, this will result in increased interest expense. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity or convertible debt securities, the percentage ownership of the Company held by existing shareholders will be reduced and our shareholders may experience significant dilution. In addition, new securities may contain rights, preferences or privileges that are senior to those of our Common Stock. If additional funds are raised by the issuance of debt or other equity instruments, we may become subject to certain operational limitations (for example, negative operating covenants). There can be no assurance that acceptable financing necessary to further implement our business plan can be obtained on suitable terms, if at all. Our ability to develop our business, fund expansion, develop or enhance products or respond to competitive pressures, could suffer if we are unable to raise the additional funds on acceptable terms, which would have the effect of limiting our ability to increase our revenues or possibly attain profitable operations in the future.

 

WE MAY BE UNABLE TO MANAGE GROWTH, WHICH MAY IMPACT OUR POTENTIAL PROFITABILITY.

 

Successful implementation of our business strategy requires us to manage our growth. Growth could place an increasing strain on our management and financial resources. To manage growth effectively, we will need to:

 

·

Establish definitive business strategies, goals and objectives;

 

 

·

Maintain a system of management controls; and

 

 

·

Attract and retain qualified personnel, as well as, develop, train and manage management-level and other employees.

 

If we fail to manage our growth effectively, our business, financial condition or operating results could be materially harmed, and our stock price may decline.

 

Risks Related to Our Common Stock

 

OUR CURRENT CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER AND DIRECTOR, MR. JOEY FIRESTONE HAS SUFFICIENT VOTING POWER TO CONTROL THE VOTE ON SUBSTANTIALLY ALL CORPORATE MATTERS.

 

Joey Firestone, our Chief Executive Officer and director has sufficient voting power through his ownership of 10,000,000 series A Preferred Stock with Super Voting Rights to control the vote on substantially all corporate matters. Accordingly, Mr. Firestone will be able to determine the composition of our Board of Directors, will retain the effective voting power to approve all matters requiring shareholder approval, will prevail in matters requiring shareholder approval, including, in particular the election and removal of Directors, and will continue to have significant influence over our business. As a result of his ownership and position in the Company, Mr. Firestone is able to influence all matters requiring shareholder action, including significant corporate transactions.

 

WE CURRENTLY HAVE A LIMITED ACCOUNTING STAFF, AND IF WE FAIL TO DEVELOP OR MAINTAIN AN EFFECTIVE SYSTEM OF INTERNAL CONTROLS, WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO REPORT OUR FINANCIAL RESULTS TIMELY AND ACCURATELY OR PREVENT FRAUD, WHICH WOULD LIKELY HAVE A NEGATIVE IMPACT ON THE MARKET PRICE OF OUR COMMON UNITS.

 

We are subject to the public reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”). Effective internal controls are necessary for us to provide reliable and timely financial reports, prevent fraud and to operate successfully as a publicly traded partnership.

 

We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting and principles generally accepted in the United States, but our internal accounting controls may not meet all standards applicable to companies with publicly traded securities. Our efforts to develop and maintain our internal controls may not be successful, and we may be unable to maintain effective controls over our financial processes and reporting in the future or to comply with our obligations under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which we refer to as Section 404. For example, Section 404 requires us, among other things, to annually review and report on, and our independent registered public accounting firm to attest to, the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting. Based on management’s evaluation, as of December 31, 2023, our management concluded that we had several material weaknesses related to our internal controls over financial reporting (See Item 9A).

WE WILL INCUR INCREASED COSTS AS A RESULT OF BEING A PUBLIC COMPANY, WHICH COULD AFFECT OUR PROFITABILITY AND OPERATING RESULTS.

 

We file annual, quarterly and current reports with the SEC. 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. We expect to spend between $25,000 and $50,000 in legal and accounting expenses annually to comply with our SEC reporting obligations and Sarbanes-Oxley. These costs could affect profitability and our results of operations.

 

WE HAVE NOT PAID DIVIDENDS IN THE PAST AND DO NOT EXPECT TO PAY DIVIDENDS FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE. ANY RETURN ON INVESTMENT MAY BE LIMITED TO THE VALUE OF OUR COMMON STOCK, WHICH IS CURRENTLY ILLIQUID, AS OUR COMMON STOCK IS NOT QUOTED, AND THERE IS CURRENTLY NO MARKET FOR OUR COMMON STOCK.

 

No cash dividends have been paid on the Company’s common stock. We expect that any income received from operations will be devoted to our future operations and growth. The Company does not expect to pay cash dividends in the near future. Payment of dividends would depend upon our profitability at the time, cash available for those dividends, and other factors as the Company’s Board of Directors may consider relevant. If the Company does not pay dividends, the Company’s common stock may be less valuable because a return on an investor’s investment will only occur if the Company’s stock price appreciates.

 

Risks Related to This Offering and Ownership of Our Common Stock

 

Our stock price may be volatile, and purchasers of our Common Stock could incur substantial losses.

 

The stock market in general has experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to operating performance of individual companies, particularly following a public offering of a company with a small public float. There is the potential for rapid and substantial price volatility of our Common Stock following this offering. Broad market factors may seriously harm the market price of our Common Stock, regardless of our actual or expected operating performance and financial condition or prospects, which may make it difficult for investors to assess the rapidly changing value of our Common Stock. Additionally, the price and volume of our Common Stock may fluctuate significantly as a result of the following factors:

 

 

quarterly variations in our operating results compared to market expectations;

 

 

adverse publicity about us, the industries we participate in or individual scandals;

 

 

announcements of new offerings or significant price reductions by us or our competitors;

 

 

fluctuations in stock market prices and volumes;

 

 

changes in senior management or key personnel;

 

 

changes in financial estimates by securities analysts;

Table of Contents

  

 

negative earnings or other announcements by us or our competitors;

 

 

defaults on indebtedness, incurrence of additional indebtedness, or issuances of additional capital stock;

 

 

global economic, legal and regulatory factors unrelated to our performance; and

 

 

the other factors listed in this “Risk Factors” section.

 

Volatility in the market price of our Common Stock may prevent investors from being able to sell their shares at or above the public offering price. As a result, you may suffer a loss on your investment.

 

Certain recent public offerings of companies with relatively small public floats comparable to our anticipated public float have experienced extreme volatility that was seemingly unrelated to the underlying performance of the respective company. Our Common Stock may potentially experience rapid and substantial price volatility, which may make it difficult for prospective investors to assess the value of our Common Stock.

 

In addition to the risks addressed above under “— Our stock price may be volatile, and purchasers of our Common Stock could incur substantial losses,” our Common Stock may be subject to rapid and substantial price volatility. Recently, companies with comparably small public floats and public offering sizes have experienced instances of extreme stock price run-ups followed by rapid price declines, and such stock price volatility was seemingly unrelated to the respective company’s underlying performance. Although the specific cause of such volatility is unclear, our anticipated public float may amplify the impact the actions taken by a few stockholders have on the price of our stock, which may cause our stock price to deviate, potentially significantly, from a price that better reflects the underlying performance of our business. Our Common Stock may experience run-ups and declines that are seemingly unrelated to our actual or expected operating performance and financial condition or prospects, making it difficult for prospective investors to assess the rapidly changing value of our Common Stock. In addition, investors of shares of our Common Stock may experience losses, which may be material, if the price of our Common Stock declines after this offering or if such investors purchase shares of our Common Stock prior to any price decline.

 

Once we have been approved to list on The Nasdaq Capital Market, if we are unable to maintain listing of our securities on NASDAQ or any stock exchange, our stock price could be adversely affected and the liquidity of our stock and our ability to obtain financing could be impaired and it may be more difficult for our stockholders to sell their securities.

 

We have applied to list our Common Stock on Nasdaq under the symbol “BYLT”.  We believe that upon the completion of this offering, we will meet the standards for listing on Nasdaq.  The closing of this offering is contingent upon such listing. Although our Common Stock is not currently listed on NASDAQ, we may not be able to continue to meet the exchange’s minimum listing requirements or those of any other national exchange. If we are unable to maintain listing on NASDAQ or if a liquid market for our Common Stock does not develop or is sustained, our Common Stock may remain thinly traded.

 

The listing rules of NASDAQ require listing issuers to comply with certain standards in order to remain listed on its exchange. If, for any reason, we should fail to maintain compliance with these listing standards and NASDAQ should delist our securities from trading on its exchange and we are unable to obtain listing on another national securities exchange, a reduction in some or all of the following may occur, each of which could have a material adverse effect on our stockholders:

 

 

the liquidity of our Common Stock;

 

 

the market price of our Common Stock;

 

 

our ability to obtain financing for the continuation of our operations;

 

 

the number of institutional and general investors that will consider investing in our Common Stock;

 

 

the number of investors in general that will consider investing in our Common Stock;

 

 

the number of market makers in our Common Stock;

 

 

the availability of information concerning the trading prices and volume of our Common Stock; and

 

 

the number of broker-dealers willing to execute trades in shares of our Common Stock.

Table of Contents

  

We may not be able to maintain the listing of our common stock on NASDAQ, which could adversely affect our liquidity and the trading volume and market price of our Common Stock and decrease or eliminate your investment.

 

NASDAQ requires listing issuers to comply with certain standards in order to remain listed on its exchange. If, for any reason, NASDAQ should delist our securities from trading on its exchange and we are unable to obtain listing on another reputable national securities exchange, a reduction in some or all of the following may occur, each of which could materially adversely affect our stockholders.

 

Any delisting determination by NASDAQ could seriously decrease or eliminate the value of an investment in our Common Stock and other securities linked to our common stock. While a listing on an over-the-counter exchange could maintain some degree of a market in our common stock, we could face substantial material adverse consequences, including, but not limited to, the following: limited availability for market quotations for our common stock; reduced liquidity with respect to and decreased trading prices of our common stock; a determination that shares of our common stock are “penny stock” under the Securities and Exchange Commission rules, subjecting brokers trading our common stock to more stringent rules on disclosure and the class of investors to which the broker may sell the common stock; limited news and analyst coverage for our Company, in part due to the “penny stock” rules; decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future; and potential breaches under or terminations of our agreements with current or prospective large stockholders, strategic investors and banks. The perception among investors that we are at heightened risk of delisting could also negatively affect the market price of our securities and trading volume of our common stock.

 

Furthermore, if the closing price of our common stock is $1.00 or less for 10 consecutive trading days, we will be issued a Staff Delisting Determination by NASDAQ. If we receive a Staff Delisting Determination Letter resulting from our Common Stock trading at or below $1.00 for 10 consecutive trading days, we will have 7 calendar days to request a hearing before a NASDAQ hearings panel to review the Staff Delisting Determination, which will stay the delisting of our Common Stock by NASDAQ. A hearing would then take place within 45 days of the hearing request to determine whether or not our common stock would be delisted. If, in the future, we receive a Staff Delisting Determination there can be no assurance that we would be successful in preventing a determination by the NASDAQ hearing panel that our stock will be delisted. 

 

If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, the market price for the shares and trading volume could decline.

 

The trading market for our Common Stock will depend in part on the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about us or our business. If research analysts do not establish and maintain adequate research coverage or if one or more of the analysts who covers us downgrades our Common Stock or publishes inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, the market price for our Common Stock would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of our company or fail to publish reports on us regularly, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which, in turn, could cause the market price or trading volume for our Common Stock to decline.

 

As the public offering price is substantially higher than our net tangible book value per share, you will experience immediate and substantial dilution.

 

If you purchase shares in this offering, you will pay more for your shares of Common Stock than the amount paid by our existing stockholders for their shares on a per share basis. As a result, you will experience immediate and substantial dilution in net tangible book value per share in relation to the price that you paid for your shares. The dilution as a result of the offering will be $4.00 share to new investors purchasing our shares in this offering if the maximum number of shares being offered are sold. In addition, you will experience further dilution to the extent that our shares are issued upon the vesting of restricted stock or exercise of stock options under any stock incentive plans. All of the shares issuable under our stock incentive plans will be issued at a purchase price on a per share basis that is equal or less than the assumed public offering price per share in this offering. See “Dilution” for a more complete description of how the value of your investment in our shares will be diluted upon completion of this offering.

 

We have broad discretion as to the use of the net proceeds from this offering and our use of the offering proceeds may not yield a favorable return on your investment. Additionally, we may use these proceeds in ways with which you may not agree or in the most effective way.

 

The Company’s management will have substantial discretion in applying the net proceeds to be received by the Company. See “Use of Proceeds” for a description of how we plan to apply the net proceeds. However, based on unforeseen technical, commercial, or regulatory issues, we could spend the proceeds in ways with which you may not agree. Moreover, the proceeds may not be invested effectively or in a manner that yields a favorable or any return, and consequently, this could result in financial losses that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. There can be no assurance that the Company will utilize the net proceeds in a manner that enhances the value of the Company. If the Company fails to spend the proceeds effectively, the Company’s business and financial condition could be harmed, and there may be the need to seek additional financing sooner than expected.

 

We have never paid cash dividends on our stock and do not intend to pay dividends for the foreseeable future.

 

We have paid no cash dividends on any class of our stock to date, and we do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the near term. For the foreseeable future, we intend to retain any earnings to finance the development and expansion of our business, and we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our Common Stock. Accordingly, investors must be prepared to rely on sales of their Common Stock after price appreciation to earn an investment return, which may never occur. Investors seeking cash dividends should not purchase our Common Stock. Any determination to pay dividends in the future will be made at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend on our results of operations, financial condition, contractual restrictions, restrictions imposed by applicable law and other factors our Board deems relevant.

 

The offering price for our common stock may not be indicative of its fair market value.

 

There is no established market for our common stock. The offering price of the shares has been determined arbitrarily by us after discussions with the underwriter. The offering price does not bear any relationship to our assets, book value, earnings, or other established criteria for valuing a privately held company. In determining the number of shares to be offered and the offering price, we took into consideration our capital structure and the amount of money we would need to implement our business plans. Accordingly, the offering price may not be indicative of the true fair market value of the Company or the fair market value of our common stock.

 Raising additional capital may cause dilution to our stockholders, including purchasers of Common Stock in this offering or restrict our operations.

 

Until such time, if ever, as we can generate substantial product revenues, we expect to finance our cash needs through a combination of equity and/or debt financing and collaborations, licensing agreements or other strategic arrangements. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, your ownership interest will be diluted, and the terms of such securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect your rights as a stockholder.

 

To the extent that we raise additional capital through debt financing, it would result in increased fixed payment obligations and a portion of our operating cash flows, if any, being dedicated to the payment of principal and interest on such indebtedness. In addition, debt financing may involve agreements that include restrictive covenants that impose operating restrictions, such as restrictions on the incurrence of additional debt, the making of certain capital expenditures or the declaration of dividends.

 

We may issue additional debt and equity securities, which are senior to our Common Stock as to distributions and in liquidation, which could materially adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock.

 

In the future, we may attempt to increase our capital resources by entering into additional debt or debt-like financing that is secured by all or up to all of our assets, or issuing debt or equity securities, which could include issuances of commercial paper, medium-term notes, senior notes, subordinated notes or shares. In the event of our liquidation, our lenders and holders of our debt securities would receive a distribution of our available assets before distribution to our stockholders. In addition, any additional preferred stock, if issued by our company, may have a preference with respect to distributions and upon liquidation, which could further limit our ability to make distributions to our stockholders. Because our decision to incur debt and issue securities in our future offerings will depend on market conditions and other factors beyond our control, we cannot predict or estimate the amount, timing or nature of our future offerings and debt financing.

 

Further, market conditions could require us to accept less favorable terms for the issuance of our securities in the future. Thus, you will bear the risk of our future offerings reducing the value of your Common Stock and diluting your interest in our company.

 

Enforcing legal liability against certain members of our Board and our senior management might be difficult.

 

Although we are organized under the laws of the State of Nevada and investors are able to effect service of process in the United States upon us, some of the members of our Board of Directors and some members of our senior management reside outside of the United States and all or a substantial portion of their assets are located outside the United States. As a result, it may not be possible to serve process on these directors and certain members of our senior management in the United States or to enforce court judgments obtained in the United States against these individuals based on the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal or state securities laws. In addition, awards of punitive damages in actions brought in the United States or elsewhere may not be enforceable outside the United States.

We are a smaller reporting company within the meaning of the Securities Act, and if we take advantage of certain exemptions from disclosure requirements available to smaller reporting companies, this could make our securities less attractive to investors and may make it more difficult to compare our performance with other public companies.

 

Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act defines a “smaller reporting company” as an issuer that is not an investment company, an asset-backed issuer, or a majority-owned subsidiary of a parent that is not a smaller reporting company and that:

 

 

had a public float of less than $250 million as of the last business day of its most recently completed second fiscal quarter, computed by multiplying the aggregate worldwide number of shares of its voting and non-voting common equity held by non-affiliates by the price at which the common equity was last sold, or the average of the bid and asked prices of common equity, in the principal market for the common equity; or

 

 

in the case of an initial registration statement under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act for shares of its common equity, had a public float of less than $250 million as of a date within 30 days of the date of the filing of the registration statement, computed by multiplying the aggregate worldwide number of such shares held by non-affiliates before the registration plus, in the case of a Securities Act registration statement, the number of such shares included in the registration statement by the estimated public offering price of the shares; or

 

 

in the case of an issuer whose public float as calculated under paragraph (1) or (2) of this definition was zero or whose public float was less than $700 million, had annual revenues of less than $100 million during the most recently completed fiscal year for which audited financial statements are available.

 

As a smaller reporting company, we will not be required and may not include a Compensation Discussion and Analysis section in our proxy statements; we will provide only two years of financial statements; and we need not provide the table of selected financial data. We also will have other “scaled” disclosure requirements that are less comprehensive than issuers that are not smaller reporting companies which could make our Common Stock less attractive to potential investors, which could make it more difficult for our stockholders to sell their shares.

 

As a “smaller reporting company,” we may choose to exempt our company from certain corporate governance requirements that could have an adverse effect on our public stockholders.

 

Under NASDAQ rules, a “smaller reporting company,” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act, is not subject to certain corporate governance requirements otherwise applicable to companies listed on NASDAQ. For example, a smaller reporting company is exempt from the requirement of having a Compensation Committee composed solely of Directors meeting certain enhanced independence standards, as long as the Compensation Committee has at least two members who do meet such standards. Although we do not currently rely on any of these exemptions, we may elect to rely on any or all of these exemptions in the future. By electing to utilize any such exemptions, our company may be subject to greater risks of poor corporate governance, poorer management decision-making processes, and reduced results of operations from problems in our corporate organization. Consequently, our stock price may suffer, and there is no assurance that we will be able to continue to meet all continuing listing requirements of NASDAQ from which we will not be exempt, including minimum stock price requirements.

   

Future sales of substantial amounts of our Common Stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of Common Stock, either by us or by our existing stockholders, or the possibility that such sales could occur, could adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock.

 

Future sales in the public market of shares of our Common Stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of Common Stock, shares held by our existing stockholders or shares issued upon exercise of our outstanding stock options or warrants, or the perception by the market that these sales could occur, could lower the market price of our Common Stock or make it difficult for us to raise additional capital.

 DILUTION

 

Dilution in net tangible book value per share to new investors is the amount by which the offering price paid by the purchasers of the shares of our Common Stock sold in this offering exceeds the pro forma net tangible book value per share of Common Stock after this offering. Net tangible book value per share is determined at any date by subtracting our total liabilities from the total book value of our tangible assets and dividing the difference by the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be outstanding at that date.

 

If you invest in our securities, your ownership interest will be diluted to the extent of the difference between public offering price per share of our Common Stock and the as adjusted net tangible book value per share of our Common Stock immediately after this offering.

 

Our net tangible book value (deficit) as of December 31, 2024, was $(2,754,924) or approximately $(0.2284) per share of Common Stock.

 

Pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value dilution per share to new investors represents the difference between the amount per share paid by purchasers of our Common Stock in this offering and the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share of Common Stock immediately after completion of this offering.

 

Investors participating in this offering will incur immediate, substantial dilution. After giving effect to our sale of 1,625,000 shares of Common Stock in this offering at a public offering price of $4.00 per share, and after deducting the estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses of $881,393, and adjusting for the change in our net tangible book value subsequent to December 31, 2024 due to $5,618,607. This amount represents an immediate increase in pro forma net tangible book value of $0.4376 per share of Common Stock to existing stockholders and an immediate dilution in pro forma net tangible book value of $3.7908 per share of Common Stock to purchasers of our Common Stock in this offering, as illustrated in the following table.

Each $1.00 increase or decrease in the assumed offering price per share of $4.00 per share, would increase or decrease the net proceeds that we receive in this offering and each of total stockholders’ equity and total capitalization by approximately $0.1080 after deducting (i) estimated underwriter commissions and (ii) offering expenses, in each case, payable by us.

 

If the underwriters exercise their over-allotment option in full, the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share of Common Stock, as adjusted to give effect to this offering, would be $0.2692 per share, and the dilution in pro forma net tangible book value per share to new investors purchasing shares of Common Stock in this offering would be $3.7308 per share.

 

The following table sets forth, as of December 31, 2024, the total number of shares of Common Stock previously issued and sold to existing investors, the total consideration paid for the foregoing and the average price per share of Common Stock paid, or to be paid, by existing owners and by the new investors. The calculation below is based on (i) paid to us by existing stockholders and (ii) to be paid by new investors purchasing shares in this offering at an assumed public offering price of $4.00 per share, before deducting estimated underwriter commissions and offering expenses, in each case payable by us, and assumes no exercise of the over-allotment option.

The enhancements under this update require disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss, require disclosure of other segment items by reportable segment and a description of the composition of other segment items, require annual disclosures under ASC 280 to be provided in interim periods, clarify use of more than one measure of segment profit or loss by the CODM, require that the title of the CODM be disclosed with an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measures of segment profit or loss to make decisions, and require that entities with a single reportable segment provide all disclosures required by this update and required under ASC 280. The Company adopted ASU 2023-07 for the annual period ending December 31, 2024.

 

Single Reportable Segment Disclosure

 

(a) Description of the Reportable Segment and Sources of Revenue

 

The Company’s Chief Executive Officer serves as the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) and evaluates the financial performance of the business and makes resource allocation decisions on a consolidated basis. As a result, the Company operates as a single reportable segment under ASC 280, Segment Reporting, defined by the CODM as focused on the development, marketing, and sale of innovative and proprietary nutritional and dietary fitness enhancement products. These products are primarily positioned in the sports performance, hydration and functional beverage and nutritional supplement markets.

 

Revenue is primarily generated from the sale of its first-to-market functional sports beverage, branded as B.Y.L.T.® (Beyond Your Limit Training), along with other related fitness and performance nutritional products.

 

(b) Measure of Segment Profit or Loss and Assets

 

The accounting policies applied in determining the segment profit or loss are consistent with those disclosed in the Company's summary of significant accounting policies.

 

The Chief Operating Decision Maker evaluates financial performance and allocates resources based on consolidated revenue and operating profit. The measure of segment assets is consistent with the Company's total consolidated assets as presented in the balance sheet.

(c) How the CODM Uses the Measure of Segment Profit or Loss

 

The CODM, identified as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, evaluates segment profit or loss primarily based on consolidated operating profit, which includes revenues and significant operating expenses directly attributable to the segment. This measure is used to:

 

 

·

Assess operational performance

 

 

 

 

·

Make decisions regarding resource allocation

 

 

 

 

·

Evaluate return on investment

 

 

 

 

·

Monitor budget-to-actual performance

 

 

 

 

·

Determine strategic priorities, including new product launches, distribution expansion, and marketing initiatives

 

(d) Intra-Entity Transactions

 

The Company does not have intra-entity sales or transfers.

 

(e) Factors Used to Identify the Reportable Segment

 

The Company’s operations are managed on a consolidated basis due to the integrated nature of its product offerings and centralized management structure. The CODM evaluates the business as a single unit focused on sports performance and functional nutrition products. The Company derives the majority of its revenues from the United States.

 

(f) Title and Position of the CODM

 

The Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker is the Chief Executive Officer of Elite Performance Holding Corp.

 

Convertible Debt

 

The Company enters into certain financing agreements for convertible debt. For the most part, the Company settles these obligations with the Company’s common stock. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had outstanding convertible debt in the amount of $1,272,216. See note 9 in the notes to the financial statements for the terms and conversion features.

 

Satisfaction of Our Cash Obligations for the Next 12 Months

 

A critical component of our operating plan impacting our continued existence is to increase sales and efficiently manage the production of our beverage lines and successfully develop new lines through our Company or through possible acquisitions and/or mergers. Our ability to obtain capital through additional equity and/or debt financing, and joint venture partnerships will also be important to our expansion plans. In the event we experience any significant problems assimilating acquired assets into our operations or cannot obtain the necessary capital to pursue our strategic plan, we may have to reduce the growth of our operations. This may materially impact our ability to increase revenue and continue our growth.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern.

 

The Company has suffered recurring losses, and at December 31, 2024, the Company had a stockholders’ deficit of $2,754,924. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had $0 cash on hand and $1,283,216 in convertible debt and advances. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The recoverability of a major portion of the recorded asset amounts shown in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet is dependent upon continued operations of the Company, which in turn, is dependent upon the Company’s ability to raise capital and/or generate positive cash flows from operations.

 

Research and Development

 

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development expenses primarily consist of salaries and benefits for research and development employees, stock-based compensation, consulting fees, lab supplies, and regulatory compliance costs. For the year ended December 31, 2024 and for the year ended December 31, 2023 we had $0 and $0 respectively in R&D expense.

 

Expected Purchase or Sale of Plant and Significant Equipment

 

We do not anticipate the purchase or sale of any plant or significant equipment; as such items are not required by us at this time.

Critical Accounting Policies

 

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies that the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its management, its ability to generate profits from the Company’ s future operations, identify future investment opportunities and obtain the necessary debt or equity financing. These factors raise doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC 606 — Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue from the commercial sales of products, licensing agreements and contracts to perform pilot studies by applying the following steps: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied. For the comparative periods, revenue has not been adjusted and continues to be reported under ASC 605 — Revenue Recognition. Under ASC 605, revenue is recognized when the following criteria are met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) the performance of service has been rendered to a customer or delivery has occurred; (3) the amount of fee to be paid by a customer is fixed and determinable; and (4) the collectability of the fee is reasonably assured. The Company recognizes revenues and the related costs when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery and acceptance has occurred, or service has been rendered, the price is fixed or determinable, and collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. Amounts invoiced or collected in advance of product delivery or providing services are recorded as deferred revenue. The Company accrues for warranty costs, sales returns, bad debts, and other allowances based on its historical experience. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 we had $681 and $42,569 respectively in revenue from the sale of our products.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company records stock-based compensation using the fair value method. Equity instruments issued to employees and the cost of the services received as consideration are accounted for in accordance with ASC 718 “Stock Compensation” and are measured and recognized based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued. In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718). This update is intended to reduce cost and complexity and to improve financial reporting for share-based payments issued to non-employees (for example, service providers, external legal counsel, suppliers, etc.). The ASU expands the scope of Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation, which currently only included share-based payments issued to employees, to also include share-based payments issued to non-employees for goods and services. Consequently, the accounting for share-based payments to non-employees and employees will be substantially aligned. This standard will be effective for financial statements issued by public companies for the annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption of the standard is permitted. The standard will be applied in a retrospective approach for each period presented.

 

Long Lived Assets

 

Periodically the Company assesses potential impairment of its long-lived assets, which include property, equipment and acquired intangible assets, in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 360, “Property, Plant and Equipment.” The Company recognizes impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying values. An impairment loss would be recognized in the amount by which the recorded value of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset, measured by the quoted market price of an asset or an estimate based on the best information available in the circumstances. There were no such losses recognized for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.

 

Property, Equipment and Intangible Assets

 

Property and equipment are carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Additions are capitalized and maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Intangible assets consist of acquired web site domains and web site content and are carried at cost, less accumulated amortization. Depreciation and amortization is provided principally on the straight-line basis method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

 

Accounting Standards Issued but Not Yet Adopted

 

All other ASUs issued but not yet adopted were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or are not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements or financial statement disclosures.

 

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

The Company is not party to any off-balance sheet arrangements that may affect its financial position or its results of operations.

 

No other recently issued accounting pronouncements had or are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition

 

Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC 606 — Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue from the commercial sales of products, licensing agreements and contracts to perform pilot studies by applying the following steps: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied. For the comparative periods, revenue has not been adjusted and continues to be reported under ASC 605 — Revenue Recognition. Under ASC 605, revenue is recognized when the following criteria are met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) the performance of service has been rendered to a customer or delivery has occurred; (3) the amount of fee to be paid by a customer is fixed and determinable; and (4) the collectability of the fee is reasonably assured. The Company recognizes revenues and the related costs when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery and acceptance has occurred, or service has been rendered, the price is fixed or determinable, and collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. Amounts invoiced or collected in advance of product delivery or providing services are recorded as deferred revenue. The Company accrues for warranty costs, sales returns, bad debts, and other allowances based on its historical experience. For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 we had $42,569 and $90,588 respectively in revenue from the sale of our products.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company records stock-based compensation using the fair value method. Equity instruments issued to employees and the cost of the services received as consideration are accounted for in accordance with ASC 718 “Stock Compensation” and are measured and recognized based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued. In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718). This update is intended to reduce cost and complexity and to improve financial reporting for share-based payments issued to non-employees (for example, service providers, external legal counsel, suppliers, etc.). The ASU expands the scope of Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation, which currently only included share-based payments issued to employees, to also include share-based payments issued to non-employees for goods and services. Consequently, the accounting for share-based payments to non-employees and employees will be substantially aligned. This standard will be effective for financial statements issued by public companies for the annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption of the standard is permitted. The standard will be applied in a retrospective approach for each period presented.

 

Long Lived Assets

 

Periodically the Company assesses potential impairment of its long-lived assets, which include property, equipment and acquired intangible assets, in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 360, “Property, Plant and Equipment.” The Company recognizes impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying values. An impairment loss would be recognized in the amount by which the recorded value of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset, measured by the quoted market price of an asset or an estimate based on the best information available in the circumstances. There were no such losses recognized for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.

 

Property, Equipment and Intangible Assets

 

Property and equipment are carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Additions are capitalized and maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Intangible assets consist of acquired web site domains and web site content and are carried at cost, less accumulated amortization. Depreciation and amortization is provided principally on the straight-line basis method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.

BUSINESS

 

Overview

Pursuant to the SEA, we purchased all of Elite Beverage’s 100,000,000 common shares and 10,000,000 preferred shares in Elite Beverage, which gave the Company ownership of all of its assets and liabilities in exchange for 50,000,000 common shares and 10,000,000 preferred shares of the Company. Following the SEA, Elite Beverage is a 100% wholly owned subsidiary of Elite Performance Holding Corp.

B.Y.L.T.® DIFFERENT

 

SmartCarb® Technology

 

This groundbreaking combination of Palatinose™ and Branched-Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs), referred to as SmartCarb® Technology. (US Patent 11,103,522) offers numerous benefits for athletes and fitness enthusiasts. Palatinose™, a slow-release carbohydrate, provides sustained energy during exercise and aids in better recovery. When paired with BCAAs, which support muscle repair and growth, SmartCarb® Technology enhances performance, promotes muscle endurance, and speeds up recovery after intense workouts. This synergistic blend ensures athletes stay fueled, hydrated, and ready to conquer their fitness goals without compromising on energy levels or muscle health.

 

Palatinose

 

Palatinose™, a special type of carbohydrate found in B.Y.L.T.®, is unique because it digests slowly, providing a steady supply of energy during exercise. Even though its naturally found in small amounts in honey and sugar cane juice, Palatinose™ is made from sugar beets, where natural enzymes strengthen the bonds between glucose and fructose molecules, resulting in a carbohydrate that's absorbed gradually by the body. This means sustained energy for your workouts and recovery, without causing discomfort like bloating or stomach cramps. It doesn’t spike blood sugar making it an excellent choice for diabetics as well.

 

BCAA 2:1:1

 

Branched Chain Amino Acids have been proven to effectively increase strength, power, speed and muscular endurance along with enhancing recovery by providing critical support to Muscle Protein Synthesis. Numerous studies support the effectiveness of the 2:1:1 ratio for training for muscle size, strength, endurance and power. As the most studied BCAA combination, it has become the gold standard.

 

L-Leucine – Considered the ‘king’ of the amino acids, it has the primary responsibility of activating mTOR which helps initiate protein synthesis and supports the body’s release of insulin from the pancreas; This offers muscle supporting and enhanced recovery benefits.

 

L-Isoleucine – Primarily responsible for increasing glucose uptake into cells; works synergistically with leucine and has muscle supporting properties as well.

 

L-Valine – Helps stimulate muscle protein synthesis and supports the body’s natural ability to eliminate excess nitrogen from the liver.

 

Senactive®

 

A patented 100% natural compound composed of extracts from Rosa roxburghii (fruit) and Panax notoginseng (root). (US Patent No. 10,806,764) It increases endurance and helps with recovery by increases lowering muscle inflammation and accelerating muscle regeneration and supports the body’s ability to protect against free radicals. Helps manage temporary inflammatory response from training, translating to improved training and overall health.

Betaine Anhydrous

 

Betaine Anhydrous stands out as a natural and effective ingredient known offering a multitude of benefits ranging from enhanced hydration and performance to muscle growth and recovery. Derived from the molasses of sugar beets, this premium form of betaine offers extensive health benefits and is naturally present in nutrient-rich foods such as whole grains, spinach, and beets. What sets natural Betaine Anhydrous apart is its patented exercise performance benefits and its track record of no adverse side effects, making it a trusted choice for individuals looking to optimize their fitness and well-being.

 

HydroMax

 

HydroMax™, is a highly concentrated and bioavable form of vegetable glycerol that works to improving hydration and exercise performance. Through scientific studies and research, HydroMax™ is shown to enhance fluid retention in muscle cells, leading to increased hydration levels and improved exercise endurance. Its unique properties make it an effective ingredient for athletes and fitness enthusiasts seeking to optimize hydration status and performance during intense physical activity. By promoting greater fluid uptake in muscle cells, HydroMax™ helps athletes stay hydrated, improve endurance, and maximize their workout potential.

 

Electrolytes

 

B.Y.L.T.® sports drinks feature a unique crafted blend of electrolytes aimed at boosting performance and keeping you hydrated. Electrolytes are vital minerals that play key roles in your body, helping transmit electrical signals that power your nerves and muscles, maintain proper blood pH, and regulate fluid balance. During exercise, we lose electrolytes through sweat, which can impact our performance and overall health. Replenishing these electrolytes is crucial for maintaining peak performance and well-being. Even a small loss of fluids, as little as 2%, can lead to a significant decrease in exercise performance. Many athletes struggle to maintain proper hydration levels, even with access to fluids. Our formula isn't just for elite athletes—it's designed to support everyone, helping replenish essential minerals often lacking in everyday diets.

 

B.Y.L.T® introduced 4 flavors in 2020 and 3 additional flavors in 2022 to test the market and consumer feedback. These flavors included Blue Raspberry, Tropical Punch, Lemon Lime, Watermelon, Grape, Orange and Fruit Punch.

 

On September 29, 2021, the Company entered into an assignment agreement between its wholly owned subsidiary Elite Beverage and Bruce Kneller for the transfer and assignment of the SmartCarb® technology patent (US Patent No. 11,103,522 issued August 31, 2021.) This Agreement gives the Company the intellectual property and patent ownership for 400,000 shares valued at $20,000 that were issued October 1, 2021.

Competition and Market Overview

 

The functional beverage industry is extremely competitive and has low barriers to entry. We compete with other sports drinks. Several of which have greater experience, brand name recognition and financial resources than Elite Beverage.

 

Our management believes that the functional beverage industry competes in the global marketplace and therefore must be adaptable to remain competitive. Consumer spending for discretionary goods such as supplements and functional beverages are sensitive to changes in consumer confidence and ultimately consumer confidence is affected by general business considerations in the U.S. economy. Consumer discretionary spending generally declines during times of falling consumer confidence, which may affect the retail sale of our products. U.S. consumer confidence reflected these slowing conditions throughout the last few years.

 

We believe that a stronger economy, more spending by young professionals with an overall trend toward health and fitness will lead to future growth. Therefore, we intend to make strong efforts to maintain our brand in the industry through our focus on the innovation and design of our products as well as being able to consolidate and increase cost efficiency when possible, through potential acquisitions.

 

Marketing and Distribution

 

It is our intention to position Elite Performance Holding Corp. as a holding company for the purpose of establishing the vertical integration of like companies in the health and fitness industry to develop multiple revenue streams while minimizing risks through diversification. Our branded product lines are currently functional beverages and will be the centerpiece of our branding efforts. This is in line with our strategy and belief that a brand name can create an association with innovation, design and quality which helps add value to the individual products as well as facilitate the introduction of new innovative products.

 

Since our initial offering, our 100% wholly owned subsidiary, Elite Beverage, has completed several years of test marketing our products in the states of California, Florida, Texas and New York in retail stores, at various sporting events, and fit expos across the country. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company chose to consolidate its operations because the brand had not been built to the level that the product would turn on retail shelves without consistent consumer education and marketing efforts, which were impossible to facilitate during the pandemic. However, the Company is now ready to pick up where they left off and have hired a sales team of seasoned beverage professionals, a consumer education advocate, are utilizing several delivery vans branded with B.Y.L.T. ®, and is now back to participating in various sporting events and fitness expos. Our initial target markets are currently Florida and California with a goal to spread into Texas and national distribution over time.

 

Sales and Marketing

 

With its all-encompassing benefits and better-for-you ingredients, B.Y.L.T.® is positioned to succeed in a highly lucrative market due to being first to market, its superior product offering and an ideal market opportunity. The breakdown of favorable market trends that will help fuel the initial growth and long-term success of the Company include:

 

Healthy living trends and lifestyles are continuing, creating a drive for better-for-you trends, active lifestyles, and a growing demand for industry products from everyday consumers.

 

 

There are currently no other RTD beverages that combine the benefits of B.Y.L.T.® that athletes seek out. In order to achieve optimal nutrients, an athlete must take 3-4 supplements that are often packed with unhealthy additives such as sugars and caffeine.

 

 

Sports Drinks market is projected to grow from USD 27.22 billion in 2021 to USD 36.35 billion in 2028 at a CAGR of 4.2% in the 2021-2028 period. North America dominated the sports drink market with a market share of 33.54% in 2020. Source: https://www.fortunebusinessinsights.com/sports-drink-market-102083

 

 

B.Y.L.T.® is also positioned in the US Sports and Performance Drink Market which According to Mintel, grew by 12.7% in 2023, reaching over $17.5 billion in retail sales and sustain steady growth, with forecasted prediction of reaching $27.5 billion by 2028.  Source: https://store.mintel.com/us/report/sports-and-performance-drinks-us-2024/ 

 

 

According to Statista, 36% of individuals in the U.S. purchase a ready to drink sports drink 1 – 2 times a week, while 15% purchase one over 10 times a week.  Source: https://www.statista.com/topics/3051/sports-drinks/#topicOverview

 

 

There is high potential for customer loyalty in the industry and brands that deliver on their promised functional and health benefits usually keep loyal core consumers.

 

The Company has contracted GBS Growth Partners to strategically implement and execute its nationwide sales and distribution of our first to market sports drink. The key executives at GBS Growth Partners are comprised of former seasoned Coca-Cola, PepsiCo and Dr. Pepper executives that have over 120 years of combined experience in the beverage industry and played a key role in the sales strategy in Celsius. Their previous clients include Coca-Cola, Bolthouse Farms, Cinnabon, Nestle Waters, Honest, Celsius, and others. The Company will launch its products in a series of regional expansions, as shown in the figure below.

 

Over the last several months, GBS Growth Partners has introduced the Company to several high-level executives with stellar resumes specializing in the sales of new beverages within our space. Currently, the executive sales team works on a consultant basis. However, the Company plans on making several of them full time employees in the future.

Corporate Governance

 

Board of Directors

 

The Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors, with the input of management, oversees the Company’s internal controls, designed to assess, identify, and manage material risks from cybersecurity threats. The Audit Committee is informed by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, of material risks, when applicable, from cybersecurity threats. Updates on cybersecurity matters, including material risks and threats, are provided to the Company’s management and Audit Committee, which also provides updates to the Company’s Board of Directors at regular Board meetings.

 

Management

 

Under the oversight of the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors the Company’s Chief Executive Officer is primarily responsible for the assessment and management of material cybersecurity risks and establishing and maintaining adequate and effective internal controls covering cybersecurity matters.

 

The Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors, with the assistance of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, is responsible for overseeing the establishment and effectiveness of controls and other procedures, including controls and procedures related to the public disclosure of material cybersecurity matters.

 

As of the date of this report, the Company is not aware of any cybersecurity incidents that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company, including its business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition and that are required to be reported.

 

The Board’s Role in Risk Oversight

 

The Board of Directors of Directors ensures that the assets of our company are properly safeguarded, that the appropriate financial and other controls are maintained, and that our business is conducted wisely and in compliance with applicable laws and regulations and proper governance. Included in these responsibilities is the Board’s oversight of the various risks facing our company. In this regard, our Board seeks to understand and oversee critical business risks. Our Board does not view risks in isolation. Risks are considered in virtually every business decision and as part of our business strategy. Our Board recognizes that it is neither possible nor prudent to eliminate all risks. Indeed, purposeful and appropriate risk-taking is essential for our company to be competitive on a global basis and to achieve its objectives.

 

While the Board oversees risk management, company management is charged with managing risk. Management communicates routinely with the Board and individual directors on the significant risks identified and how they are being managed. Directors are free to, and indeed often do, communicate directly with senior management.

The Company discovered in September of 2021 that BYLT Basics, a party that it settled a previous trademark litigation case with, is in breach of its Settlement Agreement and sent a notice of breach to said party. The underlying matter is a trademark dispute for the mark B.Y.L.T. (Reg 6548069) of which the Company filed two oppositions of the party’s trademarks at the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board. BYLT Basics and the Company filed claims against each other surrounding this mark and its use.

Directors are elected by a plurality of votes. Stockholders do not have cumulative voting rights.

 

Subject to preferences that may be applicable to any then-outstanding Preferred Stock, holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive ratably those dividends, if any, as may be declared from time-to-time by the Board of Directors out of legally available funds.

Anti-Takeover Provisions

 

The provisions of the Nevada Revised Statutes, our Articles of Incorporation and our Bylaws could have the effect of delaying or preventing a third-party from acquiring us, even if the acquisition would benefit our stockholders. Such provisions of the Nevada Revised Statutes, our Articles of Incorporation and our Bylaws are intended to enhance the likelihood of continuity and stability in the composition of our Board of Directors and in the policies formulated by the Board of Directors and to discourage certain types of transactions that may involve an actual or threatened change of control of our Company. These provisions are designed to reduce our vulnerability to an unsolicited proposal for a takeover that does not contemplate the acquisition of all our outstanding shares, or an unsolicited proposal for the restructuring or sale of all or part of our company.

 

Stock Structure

 

Prior to the commencement of this offering, there will be 12,063,884 shares of Common Stock outstanding representing voting power of 12,063,884 votes. Following this offering, there will be 13,688,844 shares of Common Stock outstanding, assuming no exercise of the over-allotment option by the underwriters.

 

Nevada Anti-Takeover Statutes

 

Pursuant to our Articles of Incorporation, we have elected not to be governed by the terms and provisions of Nevada’s control share acquisition laws (Nevada Revised Statutes 78.378 – 78.3793), which prohibit an acquirer, under certain circumstances, from voting shares of a corporation’s stock after crossing specific threshold ownership percentages, unless the acquirer obtains the approval of the issuing corporation’s stockholders. The first such threshold is the acquisition of at least one-fifth but less than one-third of the outstanding voting power.

 

Pursuant to our Articles of Incorporation, we have also elected not to be governed by the terms and provisions of Nevada’s combination with interested stockholders statute (Nevada Revised Statutes 78.411 – 78.444), which prohibits an “interested stockholder” from entering into a “combination” with the corporation, unless certain conditions are met. An “interested stockholder” is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, beneficially owns (or within the prior two years, did beneficially own) 10% or more of the corporation’s voting stock, or otherwise has the ability to influence or control such corporation’s management or policies.

In addition, various provisions of our Bylaws may also have an anti-takeover effect. These provisions may delay, defer or prevent a tender offer or takeover attempt of the Company that a stockholder might consider in his or her best interest, including attempts that might result in a premium over the market price for the shares held by our stockholders. Our Bylaws may be adopted, amended or repealed by an action of the Board of Directors. Our Bylaws contain limitations as to who may call special meetings as well as require advance notice of stockholder matters to be brought at a meeting. Our Bylaws also provide that no director may be removed by less than a two-thirds vote of the issued and outstanding shares entitled to vote on the removal. Our Bylaws also permit the Board of Directors to establish the number of Directors and fill any vacancies and newly created directorships. These provisions will prevent a stockholder from increasing the size of our Board of Directors and gaining control of our Board of Directors by filling the resulting vacancies with its own nominees.

 

Our Bylaws establish an advance notice procedure for stockholder proposals to be brought before an annual meeting of our stockholders, including proposed nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors. Stockholders at an annual meeting will only be able to consider proposals or nominations specified in the notice of meeting or brought before the meeting by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or by a stockholder who was a stockholder of record on the record date for the meeting, who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who has given us timely written notice, in proper form, of the stockholder’s intention to bring that business before the meeting. Although our Bylaws do not give the Board of Directors the power to approve or disapprove stockholder nominations of candidates or proposals regarding other business to be conducted at a special or annual meeting, our Bylaws may have the effect of precluding the conduct of certain business at a meeting if the proper procedures are not followed or may discourage or deter a potential acquirer from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect its own slate of Directors or otherwise attempting to obtain control of the Company.

 

Authorized but Unissued Shares

 

Our authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock are available for our Board of Directors to issue without stockholder approval. We may use these additional shares for a variety of corporate purposes, including raising additional capital, corporate acquisitions and employee stock plans. The existence of our authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock could render it more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of the Company by means of a proxy context, tender offer, merger or other transaction since our Board of Directors can issue large amounts of capital stock as part of a defense to a take-over challenge.

 

Supermajority Voting Provisions

 

Nevada law provides generally that the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares entitled to vote on any matter is required to amend a corporation’s Articles of Incorporation, unless a corporation’s Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws, as the case may be, require a greater percentage. Our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws do not ;require a supermajority vote on any matters, of Directors the 10,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock allow our CEO Joey Firestone super voting rights whereby each share of Series A Preferred Stock votes the equivalent of 20 shares of Common Stock.

 

Cumulative Voting

 

The holders of our Common Stock do not have cumulative voting rights in the election of our directors. The combination of the present ownership by a few stockholders of a significant portion of our issued and outstanding Common Stock and lack of cumulative voting makes it more difficult for other stockholders to replace our Board of Directors or for a third party to obtain control of our company by replacing its Board of Directors.

 

Transfer Agent and Registrar

 

We have appointed Mountain Share Transfer 2030 Powers Ferry Rd SE, Suite 212, Atlanta, GA 30339, telephone (404) 474-3110, as the transfer agent for our Common Stock

MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS FOR NON-U.S. HOLDERS OF OUR COMMON STOCK

 

The following is a summary of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of our Common Stock that is being issued pursuant to this offering, but does not purport to be a complete analysis of all potential tax effects. The effects of other U.S. federal tax laws, such as estate and gift tax laws, and any applicable state, local or non-U.S. tax laws are not discussed. This summary is based on provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, applicable U.S. Treasury Regulations and administrative and judicial interpretations, all as in effect or in existence on the date of this prospectus. Subsequent developments in U.S. federal income tax law, including changes in law or differing interpretations, which may be applied retroactively, could alter the U.S. federal income tax consequences of owning and disposing of our Common Stock as described in this summary. There can be no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service, or IRS, will not take a contrary position with respect to one or more of the tax consequences described herein and we have not obtained, nor do we intend to obtain, a ruling from the IRS with respect to the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the ownership or disposition of our Common Stock.

 

This summary is limited to Non-U.S. Holders (as defined below) that hold our Common Stock as a capital asset within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code (generally, property held for investment) for U.S. federal income tax purposes. This summary does not discuss all of the aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be relevant to a Non-U.S. Holder in light of the Non-U.S. Holder’s particular investment or other circumstances. Accordingly, all prospective Non-U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of our Common Stock.

 

This summary does not consider any specific facts or circumstances that may apply to a Non-U.S. Holder and does not address any special tax rules that may apply to particular Non-U.S. Holders, including, without limitation:

 

 

a Non-U.S. Holder that is a financial institution, insurance company, tax-exempt organization, pension plan, broker, dealer or trader in securities, dealer in currencies, U.S. expatriate, controlled foreign corporation, passive foreign investment company or a foreign trust with US person beneficiaries;

 

 

a Non-U.S. Holder holding our Common Stock as part of a conversion, constructive sale, wash sale or other integrated transaction or a hedge, straddle or synthetic security;

 

 

a Non-U.S. Holder that holds or receives our Common Stock pursuant to the exercise of any employee stock option or otherwise as compensation; or

 

 

a Non-U.S. Holder that at any time owns, directly, indirectly or constructively, 5% or more of our outstanding Common Stock.

 

If an entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds our Common Stock, the tax treatment of a partner in such a partnership generally will depend upon the status of the partner, the activities of the partnership and certain determinations made at the partner level. Partnerships, and partners in partnerships, that hold our Common Stock should consult their own tax advisors as to the particular U.S. federal income tax consequences of owning and disposing of our Common Stock that are applicable to them.

 

THIS DISCUSSION IS NOT TAX ADVICE. INVESTORS SHOULD CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS WITH RESPECT TO THE APPLICATION OF THE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX LAWS TO THEIR PARTICULAR SITUATIONS AS WELL AS ANY TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE PURCHASE, OWNERSHIP, AND DISPOSITION OF OUR COMMON STOCK ARISING UNDER THE U.S. FEDERAL ESTATE OR GIFT TAX LAWS OR UNDER THE LAWS OF ANY STATE, LOCAL, OR NON-U.S. TAXING JURISDICTION OR UNDER ANY APPLICABLE INCOME TAX TREATY.

 

As used in this summary, the term “Non-U.S. Holder” means a beneficial owner of our Common Stock that is not, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

 

 

an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States;

 

 

a corporation (or other entity classified as a corporation) created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof, or the District of Columbia;

 

 

an entity or arrangement treated as a partnership;

 

 
44

Table of Contents

  

 

an estate whose income is includible in gross income for U.S. federal income tax purposes regardless of its source; or

 

 

a trust, if (1) a U.S. court is able to exercise primary supervision over the trust’s administration and one or more “United States persons” (as defined in the Code) has the authority to control all of the trust’s substantial decisions, or (2) the trust has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S. Treasury Regulations to be treated as a United States person.

 

Each Non-U.S. Holder should consult its own tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. income and other tax consequences of owning and disposing of our Common Stock.

 

Distributions on Our Common Stock

 

We do not currently expect to pay any cash dividends on our Common Stock. If we make distributions of cash or property (other than certain pro rata distributions of our Common Stock) with respect to our Common Stock, any such distributions generally will constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax rules. If a distribution exceeds our current and accumulated earnings and profits, the excess will be treated as a nontaxable return of capital to the extent of the Non-U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in our Common Stock and will reduce (but not below zero) such Non-U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in our Common Stock. Any remaining excess will be treated as gain from a disposition of our Common Stock subject to the tax treatment described below in “— Dispositions of Our Common Stock.”

 

Subject to the discussion below on effectively connected income, dividends paid to a Non-U.S. Holder will be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax at a rate of 30% of the gross amount of the dividends (or such lower rate specified by an applicable income tax treaty, provided the Non-U.S. Holder furnishes a valid IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or other applicable documentation) certifying qualification for the lower treaty rate). A Non-U.S. Holder that does not timely furnish the required documentation, but that qualifies for a reduced treaty rate, may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld by timely filing an appropriate claim for refund with the IRS. Non-U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding their entitlement to benefits under any applicable tax treaties.

 

Distributions on our Common Stock that are treated as dividends and that are effectively connected with a Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States will be taxed on a net income basis at the regular graduated rates and in the manner applicable to United States persons. An exception may apply if the Non-U.S. Holder is eligible for, and properly claims, the benefit of an applicable income tax treaty and the dividends are not attributable to a permanent establishment maintained by the Non-U.S. Holder in the United States. In such case, the Non-U.S. Holder may be eligible for a lower rate under an applicable income tax treaty between the United States and its jurisdiction of tax residence. Dividends that are effectively connected with a Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States will not be subject to the U.S. withholding tax if the Non-U.S. Holder provides to the applicable withholding agent a properly executed IRS Form W-8ECI (or other applicable form) in accordance with the applicable certification and disclosure requirements. A Non-U.S. Holder treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes may also be subject to a “branch profits tax” at a 30% rate (unless the Non-U.S. Holder is eligible for a lower rate under an applicable income tax treaty) on the Non-U.S. Holder’s earnings and profits (attributable to dividends on our Common Stock or otherwise) that are effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States. The amount of taxable earnings and profits is generally reduced by amounts reinvested in the operations of the U.S. trade or business and increased by any decline in its equity.

 

The certifications described above must be provided to the applicable withholding agent prior to the payment of dividends and must be updated periodically. A Non-U.S. Holder may obtain a refund or credit of any excess amounts withheld by timely filing an appropriate claim for a refund with the IRS. Non-U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding their eligibility for benefits under any relevant income tax treaty and the manner of claiming such benefits.

 

The foregoing discussion is subject to the discussions below under “— Backup Withholding and Information Reporting” and “— FATCA Withholding.”

Dispositions of Our Common Stock

 

Subject to the discussion below regarding backup withholding, a Non-U.S. Holder generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax (including U.S. withholding tax) on gain recognized on any sale or other disposition of our Common Stock unless:

 

 

the gain is effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, is attributable to a permanent establishment maintained by the Non-U.S. Holder in the United States); in such case, the gain would be subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net income basis at the regular graduated rates and in the manner applicable to United States persons (unless an applicable income tax treaty provides otherwise) and, if the Non-U.S. Holder is treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the “branch profits tax” described above may also apply;

 

 

the Non-U.S. Holder is an individual who is present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of the disposition and meets certain other requirements; or

 

 

we are or have been a “United States real property holding corporation,” or USRPHC, for U.S. federal income tax purposes at any time during the shorter of (i) the five-year period ending on the date of disposition and (ii) the period that the Non-U.S. Holder held our Common Stock.

 

Generally, a corporation is a USRPHC if the fair market value of its “United States real property interests” equals or exceeds 50% of the sum of the fair market value of its worldwide real property interests plus its other assets used or held for use in a trade or business. We believe that we are not currently, and we do not anticipate becoming in the future, a USRPHC. However, because the determination of whether we are a USRPHC is made from time to time and depends on the relative fair market values of our assets, there can be no assurance in this regard. If we were a USRPHC, the tax relating to disposition of stock in a USRPHC generally will not apply to a Non-U.S. Holder whose holdings, direct, indirect and constructive, constituted 5% or less of our Common Stock at all times during the applicable period, provided that our Common Stock is “regularly traded on an established securities market” (as provided in applicable U.S. Treasury Regulations) at any time during the calendar year in which the disposition occurs. However, no assurance can be provided that our Common Stock will be regularly traded on an established securities market for purposes of the rules described above. Non-U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding any possible adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences to them if we are, or were to become, a USRPHC.

 

The foregoing discussion is subject to the discussions below under “— Backup Withholding and Information Reporting” and “— FATCA Withholding.”

 

Backup Withholding and Information Reporting

 

Backup withholding (currently at a rate of 24%) may apply to dividends paid by U.S. corporations in some circumstances, but will not apply to payments of dividends on our Common Stock to a Non-U.S. Holder if the Non-U.S. Holder provides to the applicable withholding agent a properly executed IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or other applicable form) certifying under penalties of perjury that the Non-U.S. Holder is not a United States person or is otherwise entitled to an exemption. However, the applicable withholding agent generally will be required to report to the IRS (and to such Non-U.S. Holder) payments of dividends on our Common Stock and the amount of U.S. federal income tax, if any, withheld from those payments. In accordance with applicable treaties or agreements, the IRS may provide copies of such information returns to the tax authorities in the country in which the Non-U.S. Holder resides.

The gross proceeds from sales or other dispositions of our Common Stock may be subject, in certain circumstances discussed below, to U.S. backup withholding and information reporting. If a Non-U.S. Holder sells or otherwise disposes of any of our Common Stock outside the United States through a non-U.S. office of a non-U.S. broker and the disposition proceeds are paid to the Non-U.S. Holder outside the United States, the U.S. backup withholding and information reporting requirements generally will not apply to that payment. However, U.S. information reporting, but not U.S. backup withholding, will apply to a payment of disposition proceeds, even if that payment is made outside the United States, if a Non-U.S. Holder sells our Common Stock through a non-U.S. office of a broker that is a United States person or has certain enumerated connections with the United States, unless the broker has documentary evidence in its files that the Non-U.S. Holder is not a United States person and certain other conditions are met or the Non-U.S. Holder otherwise qualifies for an exemption.

 

If a Non-U.S. Holder receives payments of the proceeds of a disposition of our Common Stock to or through a U.S. office of a broker, the payment will be subject to both U.S. backup withholding and information reporting unless the Non-U.S. Holder provides to the broker a properly executed IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or other applicable form) certifying under penalties of perjury that the Non-U.S. Holder is not a United States person, or the Non-U.S. Holder otherwise qualifies for an exemption.

 

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be credited against the Non-U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability (which may result in the Non-U.S. Holder being entitled to a refund), provided that the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

 

FATCA Withholding

 

The Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act and related Treasury guidance (commonly referred to as FATCA) impose U.S. federal withholding tax at a rate of 30% on payments to certain foreign entities of (i) U.S.-source dividends (including dividends paid on our Common Stock) and (ii) the gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of property that produces U.S.-source dividends (including sales or other dispositions of our Common Stock). This withholding tax applies to a foreign entity, whether acting as a beneficial owner or an intermediary, unless such foreign entity complies with (i) certain information reporting requirements regarding its U.S. account holders and its U.S. owners and (ii) certain withholding obligations regarding certain payments to its account holders and certain other persons. Accordingly, the entity through which a Non-U.S. Holder holds its Common Stock will affect the determination of whether such withholding is required. While withholding under FATCA would have also applied to payments of gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of our Common Stock on or after January 1, 2019, U.S. Treasury Regulations proposed in December 2018 eliminate such withholding on payments of gross proceeds entirely. Taxpayers generally may rely on these proposed U.S. Treasury Regulations until final U.S. Treasury Regulations are issued. Non-U.S. Holders are encouraged to consult their tax advisors regarding FATCA.

UNDERWRITING

 

In connection with this offering, we have entered into an Underwriting Agreement with D. Boral Capital LLC, (“D.Boral Capital”) and Craft Capital Management LLC (Craft Capital)as the representative of the underwriters named in this prospectus, with respect to the Common Stock in this offering. Under the terms and subject to the conditions contained in the Underwriting Agreement, the representative will agree to purchase from us on a firm commitment basis the respective number of shares of Common Stock at the public price less the underwriting discounts set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, and we have agreed to sell to the underwriters, at the public offering price per share less the underwriting discounts set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, the number of shares of Common Stock listed next to its name in the following table:

 

Underwriter

 

Number of

 Shares

 

D. Boral Capital LLC

 

 

[  ]

 

Craft Capital LLC

 

 

[  ]

 

Total

 

 

 

 

 

The shares of Common Stock sold by the underwriters to the public will initially be offered at the public offering price set forth on the cover page of this prospectus. Any shares of Common Stock sold by the underwriters to securities dealers may be sold at a discount from the public offering price not to exceed $[*] per share. If all of the shares are not sold at the offering price, the representative may change the offering price and the other selling terms. The representative has advised us that the underwriters do not intend to make sales to discretionary accounts.

 

If the underwriters sell more shares of Common Stock than the total number set forth in the table above, we have granted to the representative an option, exercisable for 45 days from the date of this prospectus, to purchase up to [____] additional shares of Common Stock at the public offering price less the underwriting discount, constituting 15% of the total number of shares of Common Stock to be offered in this offering (excluding shares subject to this option). The representative may exercise this option solely for the purpose of covering over-allotments in connection with this offering. This offering is being conducted on a firm commitment basis. Any shares of Common Stock issued or sold under the option will be issued and sold on the same terms and conditions as the other shares of Common Stock that are the subject of this offering.

 

As additional compensation for Underwriter’s services, the Company shall issue to Underwriters or its designees at the closing of the Offering (the “Closing”), and each closing of the Over-Allotment Option (if any), warrants (the “Underwriter’s Warrants”) to purchase that number of shares of common stock of the Company (“Common Stock”) equal to three percent (3.0%) of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock sold in the Offering. The Underwriter’s Warrants will be exercisable at any time and from time to time, in whole or in part, during the four and a half-year period commencing six (6) months from the effective date of the Offering, at a price per share equal to 100.0% of the public offering price per Security. The Underwriter’s Warrants will provide for registration rights (including a one-time demand registration right and unlimited piggyback rights) and customary anti-dilution provisions (for stock dividends and splits and recapitalizations) and anti-dilution protection (adjustment in the number and price of such warrants and the shares underlying such warrants) resulting from corporate events (which would include dividends, reorganizations, mergers, etc.) and future issuance of Common Stock or Common Stock equivalents at prices (or with exercise and/or conversion prices) below the Offering price as permitted under FINRA Rule 5110(f)(2)(G).

 

In connection with this offering, the underwriters may engage in stabilizing transactions, over-allotment transactions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids in compliance with Regulation M under the Exchange Act, as described below:

 

 

Stabilizing transactions permit bids to purchase securities so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified maximum.

 

 

Over-allotment transactions involve sales by the underwriters of securities in excess of the number of securities the underwriters are obligated to purchase, which creates a syndicate short position. The short position may be either a covered short position or a naked short position. In a covered short position, the number of securities over-allotted by the underwriters is not greater than the number of securities that they may purchase in the over-allotment option. In a naked short position, the number of securities involved is greater than the number of securities in the over-allotment option. The underwriters may close out any covered short position by either exercising their over-allotment option and/or purchasing securities in the open market.

 

 

Syndicate covering transactions involve purchases of securities in the open market after the distribution has been completed in order to cover syndicate short positions. In determining the source of securities to close out the short position, the underwriters will consider, among other things, the price of securities available for purchase in the open market as compared to the price at which they may purchase securities through the over-allotment option. A naked short position occurs if the underwriters sell more securities than could be covered by the over-allotment option. This position can only be closed out by buying securities in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the underwriters are concerned that there could be downward pressure on the price of the securities in the open market after pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase in this offering.

 

 

Penalty bids permit the underwriters to reclaim a selling concession from a syndicate member when securities originally sold by the syndicate member are purchased in a stabilizing or syndicate covering transaction to cover syndicate short positions.

 

These stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids may have the effect of raising or maintaining the market price of our securities or preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the securities. As a result, the price of our shares of Common Stock may be higher than the price that might otherwise exist in the open market. These transactions may be discontinued at any time.

We will be also responsible for and will pay all expenses relating to the offering, including, without limitation, (a) all filing fees and expenses relating to the registration of the securities with the Commission; (b) all fees and expenses relating to the listing of the Company’s Common Stock; (c) all fees, expenses and disbursements relating to the registration or qualification of the securities under the “blue sky” securities laws of such states and other jurisdictions as the representative may reasonably designate (including, without limitation, all filing and registration fees, and the reasonable fees and disbursements of the Company’s “blue sky” counsel, which will be the underwriters’ counsel) unless such filings are not required in connection with the Company’s proposed listing on a national exchange, if applicable; (d) all fees, expenses and disbursements relating to the registration, qualification or exemption of the securities under the securities laws of such foreign jurisdictions as the representative may reasonably designate; (e) the costs of all mailing and printing of the offering documents; (f) transfer and/or stamp taxes, if any, payable upon the transfer of securities from the Company to the underwriters; and (g) the fees and expenses of the Company’s accountants; (h) all filing fees and communication expenses associated with the review of this offering by FINRA; (i) other expenses, considering that a total amount of all fees and expenses including “road show,” diligence, and reasonable legal fees and disbursements for the underwriters’ counsel shall not exceed $50,000 if offering is unsuccessful and up to a max of $229,500 if successful. Additionally, D. Boral Capital and Craft Capital shall be paid a total of 1% of the gross proceeds of the offering as reimbursement for non-accountable expenses.

 

Representative’s Warrant

 

As additional compensation for Underwriter’s services, the Company shall issue to Underwriters or its designees at the closing of the Offering (the “Closing”), and each closing of the Over-Allotment Option (if any), warrants (the “Underwriter’s Warrants”) to purchase that number of shares of common stock of the Company (“Common Stock”) equal to three percent (3.0%) of the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock sold in the Offering. The Underwriter’s Warrants will be exercisable at any time and from time to time, in whole or in part, during the four and a half-year period commencing six (6) months from the effective date of the Offering, at a price per share equal to 100.0% of the public offering price per Security. The Underwriter’s Warrants will provide for registration rights (including a one-time demand registration right and unlimited piggyback rights) and customary anti-dilution provisions (for stock dividends and splits and recapitalizations) and anti-dilution protection (adjustment in the number and price of such warrants and the shares underlying such warrants) resulting from corporate events (which would include dividends, reorganizations, mergers, etc.) and future issuance of Common Stock or Common Stock equivalents at prices (or with exercise and/or conversion prices) below the Offering price as permitted under FINRA Rule 5110(f)(2)(G).

 

The underwriters’ warrant and the underlying shares may be deemed to be compensation by FINRA, and therefore will be subject to FINRA Rule 5110(e)(1). In accordance with FINRA Rule 5110(e)(1), neither the underwriters’ warrant nor any of our shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of the underwriters’ warrants may be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated, or be the subject of any hedging, short sale, derivative, put or call transaction that would result in the effective economic disposition of such securities by any person, for a period of 180 days immediately following the commencement date of sales in this offering, subject to certain exceptions. The underwriters’ warrant to be received by the representative and related persons in connection with this offering fully comply with transfer restrictions pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110(e)(2).

 

Right of First Refusal

 

We have agreed to provide D. Boral Capital and Craft Capital the right of first refusal until 12 months after this offering is completed (“RoFR Termination Date”) to act as exclusive financial advisor in connection with any acquisition or other effort by the Company to obtain control, directly or indirectly and whether in one or a series of transactions, of all or a significant portion of the assets or securities of a third party, or the sale or other transfer by the Company, whether in one or a series of transactions, of assets or securities, or any extraordinary corporate transaction, regardless of the form or structure of such transaction, or as sole bookrunning underwriter or sole placement agent, as the case may be, on any financing for the Company. In the event the Company advises D. Boral Capital and Craft Capital that it desires to affect any such financing, the Company and D. Boral Capital and Craft Capital will negotiate in good faith the terms of D. Boral Capital and Craft Capital’s engagement in a separate agreement, which agreement would set forth, among other matters, compensation for D. Boral Capital and Craft Capital based upon customary fees for the services provided. D. Boral Capital and Craft Capital’s participation in any such financing will be subject to the approval of D. Boral Capital and Craft Capital’s internal committees and other conditions customary for such an undertaking.

 

Tail Financing

 

We have agreed to pay D. Boral Capital and Craft Capital a total cash fee equal to eight percent (8.0%) of the gross proceeds actually received by the Company from the sale of any equity, debt and/or equity derivative instruments to any investor actually introduced by D. Boral Capital and Craft Capital to the Company during the Engagement Period, in connection with any public or private financing or capital raise (each a "Tail Financing"), if such Tail Financing is consummated at any time during the Engagement Period or within the twelve (12) month period following the expiration or termination of the Engagement Period (the "Tail Period"), provided that such Tail Financing is by a party actually introduced to the Company in an offering in which the Company has direct knowledge of such party's participation.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

    

To the Board of Directors and

Stockholders of Elite Performance Holdings, Corp.

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Elite Performance Holdings, Corp. (the Company) as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2024, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2024, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has an accumulated deficit and has a net working capital deficiency, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding those matters are also described in Note 2. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated 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 consolidated 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 consolidated 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 consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matter

 

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of a critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

 

Going Concern

 

As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company had a going concern due to a working capital deficiency, and stockholders’ deficiency. Auditing management’s evaluation of a going concern can be a significant judgement given the fact that the Company uses manage estimates on future revenues and expenses, which are not able to be substantiated. To evaluate the appropriateness of the going concern, we examined and evaluated the financial information that was the initial cause along with management’s plans to mitigate the going concern and management’s disclosure of going concern.

Elite Performance Holding Corp.

Consolidated Notes to the Financial Statements

For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023

 

NOTE 1 - GENERAL

 

Business Overview

 

Elite Performance Holding Corporation (“EPH”) was formed on January 30, 2018 (inception) and is a holding company with anticipated holdings in companies centered on innovative and proprietary nutritional and dietary fitness enhancement products, that are in the sports performance, weight loss, nutritional, functional beverage, and energy markets.

 

On February 2, 2018, a contribution and assignment agreement was executed by Joseph Firestone and Jon McKenzie (collectively, the “Assignors”), and Elite Performance Holding Corp., a Nevada corporation (the “Assignee”). Whereas Firestone and McKenzie were the owners of 5,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value, for a total of 10,000,000 shares of common stock (collectively, the “Shares”) of Elite Beverage International Corp., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), which shares represented all authorized, issued and outstanding shares of the Company.

 

Elite Beverage International is a 100% wholly owned subsidiary of Elite Performance Holding Corp.

 

BYLT Performance, LLC is a wholly owned subsidiary of Elite Beverage International Corp. and currently holds all of the trademarks and intellectual property for the Company.

 

Our Products and Services

 

On August 01, 2020, the Company entered into an Exclusivity Agreement between its wholly owned subsidiary Elite Beverage International Corp. and Bruce Kneller for exclusive rights on a patent pending SmartCarb® technology (US tent Application No. 16/785,498.) This Agreement gives the Company first right of refusal to purchase the technology upon issuance of its patent for 20,000 shares in the Company.

 

On September 29, 2021, the Company entered into an Agreement between its wholly owned subsidiary Elite Beverage International Corp. and Bruce Kneller for the transfer and assignment of the SmartCarb® technology (US Patent No. 11,103,522 issued August 31, 2021.) This Agreement gives the Company the intellectual property and patent ownership for 40,000 shares valued at $20,000 that were issued October 1, 2021. For the year ended December 31, 2021, an impairment loss of $20,000 was recognized on the Patent acquisition and recorded to other income (expense).

 

NOTE 2 - ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which implies that the Company will continue to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $11,183,774. The continuation of the Company as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from its management, its ability to generate profits from the Company’s future operations, identify future investment opportunities and obtain the necessary debt or equity financing. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

 
F-7

Table of Contents

 

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the operations of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Elite Beverage International Corp.

 

All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting and are presented in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). The Company has elected a calendar year-end.

 

Going concern

 

The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared using Generally Accepted Accounting Principles applicable to a going concern that contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, the Company has recently accumulated significant losses and has negative working capital. All of these items raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans with respect to alleviating the adverse financial conditions that caused management to express substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern are as follows:

 

The Company is currently trying to raise new debt or equity to set up and market its line of sports drinks. If the Company is not successful in the development and implementation of a concept which produces positive cash flows from operations, the Company may be forced to continue to raise additional equity or debt financing to fund its ongoing obligations or risk ceasing doing business.

 

There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to achieve its business plans, raise any more required capital or secure the financing necessary to achieve its current operating plan. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plan described in the preceding paragraph and eventually attain profitable operations.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

We maintain the majority of our cash accounts at a commercial bank. The total cash balance is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000 per commercial bank. For purposes of the statement of cash flows we consider all cash and highly liquid investments with initial maturities of one year or less to be cash equivalents.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

We grant credit to our customers located within the United States of America; and do not require collateral. Our ability to collect receivables is affected by economic fluctuations in the geographic areas and industries served by us. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, we had $0 and $0 in accounts receivable respectively. The allowance for doubtful trade receivables was $0 as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

Inventory

 

Inventories are valued at the lower of weighted average cost or net realizable value. Our industry experiences changes in technology, changes in market value and availability of raw materials, as well as changing customer demand. The Company makes provisions for estimated excess and obsolete inventories based on regular audits and cycle counts of our on-hand inventory levels and forecasted customer demands and at times additional provisions are made. Any inventory write offs are charged to the reserve account. During the year ending December 31, 2024, the Company wrote off $30,802 in damaged inventory. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had $0 and $30,802 in inventory respectively.  The Company had no reserve for potentially obsolete inventory as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Prepaid Expenses

 

Prepaid expenses are expenditures that have not yet been consumed, and so are capitalized for a short period of time. They are initially recorded on the balance sheet as current assets, and are later charged to expense.  As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, we had $14,069 and $0 in prepaid expenses, respectively.

 

Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share

 

The Company presents both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face of the statement of operations. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period including convertible debt, stock options, and warrants, using the treasury stock method, and convertible securities, using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive. The Company had net losses as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, so then diluted EPS excluded all dilutive potential shares in the diluted EPS because their effect is anti-dilutive. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had $1,272,216 in convertible notes plus accrued interest of $300,283 that may be converted into 2,341,910 shares of common stock. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had $820,250 in convertible notes plus accrued interest of $368,881 that may be converted into 1,915,447 shares of common stock.  

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The carrying amount of accounts payable and accrued expenses are considered to be representative of their respective fair values because of the short-term nature of these financial instruments.

 

 
F-9

Table of Contents

 

Advertising

 

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, we had $33,168 and $65,169 advertising expense, respectively.

 

Research and Development

 

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Research and development expenses primarily consist of salaries and benefits for research and development employees, stock-based compensation, consulting fees, lab supplies, and regulatory compliance costs. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, we had $0 research and development (R&D) expense, respectively.

 

Use of Estimates

 

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

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Effective January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASC 606 — Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Under ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue from the commercial sales of products by applying the following steps: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied. The Company’s performance obligation is to deliver the product(s) per the contract and the obligation is met upon receipt of the product by the purchaser. Prices are predetermined plus applicable taxes and shipping costs. The Company’s main source of revenue comes from distributors, retail stores and gyms, and online sales primarily coming from the company website and Amazon. Amounts invoiced or collected in advance of product delivery or providing services are recorded as deferred revenue. The Company accrues for warranty costs, sales returns, bad debts, and other allowances based on its historical experience.

 

For the year ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, we had $681 and $42,569, respectively in revenue from the sale of our products.

 

Income Taxes

 

Federal Income taxes are not currently due since we have had losses since inception.

 

On December 22, 2017 H.R. 1, originally known as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, (the “Tax Act”) was enacted.  Among the significant changes to the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, the Tax Act lowers the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate (“Federal Tax Rate”) from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018. The Company computes its income tax expense using a Federal Tax Rate of 21%.

 

Income taxes are provided based upon the liability method of accounting pursuant to ASC 740-10-25 Income Taxes – Recognition.  Under this approach, deferred income taxes are recorded to reflect the tax consequences in future years of differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their financial reporting amounts at each year-end.  A valuation allowance is recorded against deferred tax assets if management does not believe the Company has met the “more likely than not” standard required by ASC 740-10-25-5.

 

Deferred income tax amounts reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax reporting purposes.

Table of Contents

 

As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, we had a net operating loss carry-forward of approximately $8,000,000 and $8,789,000 and a deferred tax asset of approximately $1,675,000 and $1,846,000 using the statutory rate of 21%. The deferred tax asset may be recognized in future periods, not to exceed 20 years. However, due to the uncertainty of future events we have recorded a valuation allowance of approximately $1,675,000 and $1,846,000. FASB ASC 740 prescribes recognition threshold and measurement attributes for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FASB ASC 740 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had not taken any tax positions that would require disclosure under FASB ASC 740.

 

Net deferred tax assets consist of the following components as of December 31, 2024, and 2023:

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company records stock-based compensation using the fair value method. Equity instruments issued to employees and the cost of the services received as consideration are accounted for in accordance with ASC 718 “Stock Compensation” and are measured and recognized based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued.

 

Long Lived Assets

 

Periodically the Company assesses potential impairment of its long-lived assets, which include property, equipment and acquired intangible assets, in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 360, “Property, Plant and Equipment.” The Company recognizes impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying values. An impairment loss would be recognized in the amount by which the recorded value of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset, measured by the quoted market price of an asset or an estimate based on the best information available in the circumstances. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, we did not record any impairment on our previously announced Patent acquisition, resulting in no other income (expense) being recognized.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Additions are capitalized and maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation is recorded on the straight-line basis method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

 

Accounting Standards Issued

 

All other ASUs issued but not yet adopted were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or are not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements or financial statement disclosures.

 

Segment reporting policy

 

In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-07 – Segment Reporting (Topic ASC 280) Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The ASU improves reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosure about significant segment expenses. The enhancements under this update require disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss, require disclosure of other segment items by reportable segment and a description of the composition of other segment items, require annual disclosures under ASC 280 to be provided in interim periods, clarify use of more than one measure of segment profit or loss by the CODM, require that the title of the CODM be disclosed with an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measures of segment profit or loss to make decisions, and require that entities with a single reportable segment provide all disclosures required by this update and required under ASC 280. The Company adopted ASU 2023-07 for the annual period ending December 31, 2024.

 

The Company’s Chief Executive Officer serves as the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) and evaluates the financial performance of the business and makes resource allocation decisions on a consolidated basis. As a result, the Company operates as a single reportable segment under ASC 280, Segment Reporting, defined by the CODM as centered on innovative and proprietary nutritional and dietary fitness enhancement products, that are in the sports performance, weight loss, nutritional, functional beverage, and energy markets. The Company’s operations include a first to market functional sports beverage called B.Y.L.T.® (acronym for Beyond Your Limit Training), which is managed centrally.

 

The CODM assesses financial performance based on revenue, operating profit, and key operating expenses.

NOTE 4 - LEASES

 

Our adoption of ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), and subsequent ASUs related to Topic 842, requires us to recognize substantially all leases on the balance sheet as an ROU asset and a corresponding lease liability. The new guidance also requires additional disclosures as detailed below. We adopted this standard on the effective date of January 1, 2019 and used this effective date as the date of initial application. Under this application method, we were not required to restate prior period financial information or provide Topic 842 disclosures for prior periods. We elected the ‘package of practical expedients,’ which permitted us to not reassess our prior conclusions related to lease identification, lease classification, and initial direct costs, and we did not elect the use of hindsight.

 

Lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date of the lease, based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments made and excludes any lease incentives. When readily determinable, we use the implicit rate in determining the present value of lease payments. When leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date, including the lease term.

 

We recognized a $70,075 right-of-use asset and $82,474 in a related party lease liability for our finance leases. For our finance leases, the asset is included in other long-term assets on the balance sheet and is amortized within operating income over the lease term. The long-term component of the lease liability is included in other long-term liabilities, net, and the current component is included in other current liabilities.

 

On May 6, 2022, the Company entered into a lease agreement with its CEO, Joey Firestone, for three cargo vans to be used for delivery and distribution of its products. Mr. Firestone is the guarantor of these vehicles, which he acquired for the sole purpose of the operations of Elite Beverage International. The monthly payment for each vehicle is 66 months of $706 (APR 8.99%) (2019 Mercedes Sprinter Van), 72 months of $807 (APR9.95%) (2019 Ford Transit Van), and 72 months of $797. (APR 10.59%) (2020 Ford Transit Van) Each vehicle has a purchase option upon the completion of the lease agreement. Total initial payments were $19,000 for all three vehicles which was $9,000. $5,000, and $5,000 for each one, respectively.

 

The Company incurred amortization expense, which is included as part of selling, general and administrative expenses, of $21,458 and $23,410 plus interest expense of $7,376 and $10,007 during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

 

We are a Nevada corporation. The Nevada Revised Statutes and certain provisions of our Bylaws under certain circumstances provide for indemnification of our officers, directors and controlling persons against liabilities that they may incur in such capacities. A summary of the circumstances in which such indemnification is provided is contained herein, but this description is qualified in its entirety by reference to our bylaws and to the statutory provisions.

 

In general, any officer, director, employee, or agent may be indemnified against expenses, fines, settlements, or judgments arising in connection with a legal proceeding to which such person is a party if that person’s actions were in good faith, were believed to be in or not opposed to our best interest, and were not unlawful. Nevada law requires that we indemnify any director, officer, employee, or agent who is successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any such legal proceeding. Our Bylaws require that we advance the expenses directors or officers incur in defending any civil or criminal action, suit, or proceeding as they are incurred upon receipt of an undertaking by the indemnitee to repay all amounts so advanced if it is determined by final judicial decision that the indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification.

 

Indemnification may also be granted pursuant to the terms of agreements that may be entered into in the future or pursuant to a vote of stockholders or directors. The Nevada Revised Statutes also grant us the power to purchase and maintain insurance that protects our officers and directors against liabilities incurred in connection with their service in such a position, and such a policy may be obtained by us.

 

To the maximum extent permitted by law, our Articles of Incorporation eliminate or limit the liability of our directors to us or our stockholders for monetary damages for breach of a director’s fiduciary duty as a director.

 

In the future, we may enter into separate indemnification agreements with our directors and officers. Each indemnification agreement may provide, among other things, for indemnification to the fullest extent permitted by law and our articles of incorporation and bylaws against expenses, judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement of any claim. The indemnification agreements may also provide for the advancement or payment of all expenses to the indemnitee and for reimbursement to us if it is found that such indemnitee is not entitled to such indemnification under applicable law and our articles of incorporation and bylaws.

 

We are in the process of obtaining standard policies of insurance under which coverage is provided (a) to our directors and officers against loss rising from claims made by reason of breach of duty or other wrongful act, and (b) to us with respect to payments that we may make to such officers and directors pursuant to the above indemnification provision or otherwise as a matter of law.

 

The Underwriting Agreement, filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this Registration Statement, will provide for indemnification, under certain circumstances, by the underwriter of us and our officers and directors for certain liabilities arising under the Securities Act or otherwise.

 

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us under the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

Preferred Stock

 

The Company has authorized a total of 35,000,000 Shares of Preferred Stock, $0.0001 par value, which may be issued from time to time and bearing such rights, privileges and preferences as shall be designated by the Board of Directors.

10,000,000 Series A preferred which carries super voting rights. Each preferred share carries 20 votes.

 

On February 2, 2018 Elite Performance Holding Corp., owned and controlled by Firestone and McKenzie, acquired Elite Beverage through a 1:1 preferred share exchange as follows. 10,000,000 Series A preferred shares of Elite Performance Holding Corp. in exchange for 10,000,000 Series A preferred shares of Elite Beverage.

No underwriter was engaged in connection with the foregoing sales of securities. The Company has reason to believe that all of the foregoing purchasers were familiar with or had access to information concerning the operations and financial condition of the Company, and all of those individuals or entities purchasing securities represented that they were accredited investors, acquiring the shares for investment and without a view to the distribution thereof. At the time of issuance, all of the foregoing securities were deemed to be restricted securities for purposes of the Securities Act and the certificates representing such securities bore legends to that effect.

Item 17. Undertakings

 

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to provide to the underwriters at the closing specified in the underwriting agreement, certificates in such denominations and registered in such names as required by the underwriters to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.

 

 

(a)

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

 

 

(1)

To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

 

 

(i)

To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”);

 

 

(ii)

To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration Statement; notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective Registration Statement; and

 

 

(iii)

To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this Registration Statement.

 

 

(2)

That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new Registration Statement relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

 

(3)

To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

 

 
II-5

Table of Contents

  

 

(4)

That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Act to any purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a Registration Statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the Registration Statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement or prospectus that is part of the Registration Statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the Registration Statement or prospectus that was part of the Registration Statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

 

 

(5)

That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this Registration Statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

 

 

(i)

Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

 

 

(ii)

Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

 

 

(iii)

The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

 

 

(iv)

Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

 

 

(b)

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant 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 whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

 

 

(c)

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:

 

 

(i)

For purposes of determining any liability under the Act, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this Registration Statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Act shall be deemed to be part of this Registration Statement as of the time it was declared effective.

 

 

(ii)

For purposes of determining any liability under the Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new Registration Statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
