Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company

 

As an issuer with less than $1 billion in total annual gross revenues during our last fiscal year, we will qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”) and this status will be significant if and when we become subject to the ongoing reporting requirements of the Exchange Act upon filing a Form 8-A. An emerging growth company may take advantage of certain reduced reporting requirements and is relieved of certain other significant requirements that are otherwise generally applicable to public companies. In particular, as an emerging growth company we:

 

  ¨ will not be required to obtain an auditor attestation on our internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002;

 

  ¨ will not be required to provide a detailed narrative disclosure discussing our compensation principles, objectives and elements and analyzing how those elements fit with our principles and objectives (commonly referred to as “compensation discussion and analysis”);

 

  ¨ will not be required to obtain a non-binding advisory vote from our shareholders on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements (commonly referred to as the “say-on-pay,” “say-on-frequency” and “say-on-golden-parachute” votes);

 

  ¨ will be exempt from certain executive compensation disclosure provisions requiring a pay-for-performance graph and CEO pay ratio disclosure;

 

  ¨ may present only two years of audited financial statements and only two years of related Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, or MD&A; and will be eligible to claim longer phase-in periods for the adoption of new or revised financial accounting standards.

 

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

 

Under the JOBS Act, we may take advantage of the above-described reduced reporting requirements and exemptions for up to five years after our initial sale of common equity pursuant to a registration statement declared effective under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or such earlier time that we no longer meet the definition of an emerging growth company. Note that this offering, while a public offering, is not a sale of common equity pursuant to a registration statement, since the offering is conducted pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements. In this regard, the JOBS Act provides that we would cease to be an “emerging growth company” if we have more than $1 billion in annual revenues, have more than $700 million in market value of our Common Stock held by non-affiliates, or issue more than $1 billion in principal amount of non-convertible debt over a three-year period.

 

Certain of these reduced reporting requirements and exemptions are also available to us due to the fact that we may also qualify, once listed, as a “smaller reporting company” under the Commission’s rules. For instance, smaller reporting companies are not required to obtain an auditor attestation on their assessment of internal control over financial reporting; are not required to provide a compensation discussion and analysis; are not required to provide a pay-for-performance graph or CEO pay ratio disclosure; and may present only two years of audited financial statements and related MD&A disclosure.

Future Acres Company Overview

 

Future Acres, Inc., formerly known as Future Labs III, Inc. and now doing business as Future Acres, has developed one of the first electric, fully autonomous transport robots for the agriculture and farming industry. By partnering with Future Acres, farms could reduce their labor requirements and increase their productivity in an industry facing labor shortages and climate impacts. Our team has a wealth of experience in automation and agricultural technology and we are bringing this experience to build one of the world's first autonomous farm transport robots. We are backed by Wavemaker, a global venture capital firm, and by Wavemaker Labs, its in-house robotics and automation corporate innovation studio. Future Acres (Future Acres, Inc.) has common ownership with Wavemaker Labs. Both entities are majority owned by Future VC, LLC, which currently controls the majority (58%) of voting stock of Future Acres. We are based in El Segundo, California and are currently working on version two of our prototype.

 

To date, Future Acres has not yet generated any revenue. Additionally, the independent CPA has included a “going concern” note in its Independent Auditor’s Report on the Company’s 2020-2021 financial statements, suggesting there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Industry Overview

 

Today’s agricultural industry is faced with a daunting challenge: the importance, and, dearth of farm workers. Over 2.5-3 million people are working on today’s US specialty crop farms (fruits, vegetables, nuts and horticultural crops), representing an astounding 42% - or $27B - spent on crop labor. That number is expected to continue to rise drastically given compounding macroeconomic factors.

 

However, despite the importance of front-line farm workers, the industry is struggling with an enormous labor gap, costing an estimated $3.1B in unrealized annual fresh produce sales in the US. This shortage is exacerbated by an aging and declining workforce, due to declining birth rates in Mexico, wages increasing faster than farm income, and increasingly dangerous conditions during climate change. Today, the agriculture industry addresses this gap through a very narrow lens: cost minimization, which only results in further extraction of human workers and planetary systems and fails to solve underlying issues.

 

The intersecting demands of society’s food production needs, the future of work in agriculture and enabling sustainable farming, has demanded a call for solutions. With the future of work and food production labor becoming an increasingly important part of farming costs, Future Acres believes advanced mobility and AI solutions, starting with  the introduction of an electric, fully autonomous transport system, will disrupt, and advance, to the agriculture industry will be highly disruptive. With Future Acres, farmers and farm workers can increase harvest efficiency by 30-40%, improve farm worker safety and quality of work, and provide real-time data and analytics to enable better resource decisions.  These benefits may be able to boost revenues, reduce expenditure, retain and upskill valuable workforce, and allow farmers to work the land more sustainably and efficiently.

 

Product Overview

 

Our first two product are Carry and Pik. Carry enables farm workers to harvest produce more efficiently by autonomously "carrying" loads back and forth between crop rows and central sorting stations in orchards. Pik is a smart wheelbarrow that enables predictive planning and data capture to enable three key value props for farms: plug and play set-up, fleet management and real-time data and analytics.

 

Over the past year, Future Acres successfully launched and tested the first version of its core product, Carry, which is unmanned autonomous ground vehicle. In late 2022, Future Acres plans to pilot the latest version of which will be an all-terrain, all-weather version, with even more durability than our current version, In addition in late 2022, we plan to release Pik, a smart wheelbarrow used by workers to load crops.

 

Plug and Play Set-Up

 

Future Acres creates a seamless setup experience through advanced machine learning and artificially intelligence, akin to a plug and play solution. We remove a human element of planning to find the beginning of the row. This is perceived as a strong long-term solution that lessens the time, energy to train crews to program reconfigure path planning.

 

Personalized Fleet Management

 

As a picker is picking crops, they place these crops on the Pik. When the picker has filled the Pik to the optimum weight, one Carry of a larger fleet is immediately deployed to the picker and Pik. Carry is loaded up with crops, and then returns to the sorting station. The result is a personalized fleet management solution and predictive technology that can be used to optimize harvesting across an entire farm. For example, if a 1000 acre farm has 90 systems, the system will accurately predict and optimize the number of robots to maximize productivity.

 

Real-time data + analytics

 

The system will provide real-time data collection: location, time, and weight. Data and analytics allows for precision agriculture, enabling farmers to make better resource decisions.

 

Our technology roadmap begins with building collaborative robots, layering on data and analytics and - in the future - will continue to build additional integrative applications based on customer and crop needs. This includes hardware (ex. sprayers) and software (ex. advanced computer vision). Our long-term vision is to create a configurable, expandable logistics and planning system for today’s and tomorrow's farms, user experience

Risk Factors

 

The SEC requires that we identify risks that are specific to our business and financial condition. We are still subject to all the same risks that all companies in our business, and all companies in the economy, are exposed to. These include risks relating to economic downturns, political and economic events and technological developments (such as hacking and the ability to prevent hacking). Additionally, early-stage companies are inherently more risky than more developed companies. You should consider general risks as well as specific risks when deciding whether to Invest.

Risks Related to Our Company

 

We have a limited operating history upon which to evaluate our performance and have not yet generated profits or revenue.

 

We are a new company and have neither generated revenue, nor have we had any significant operating history. As such, it is difficult to determine how we will perform, as our core product has yet to come market.

 

The Company is pre-revenue and may not be successful in its efforts to grow and monetize its product. It has limited operating capital and for the foreseeable future will be dependent upon its ability to finance operations from the sale of equity or other financing alternatives. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully raise operating capital. The failure to successfully raise operating capital, and the failure to effectively monetize its products, could result in bankruptcy or other event which would have a material adverse effect on the Company and the value of its shares. The Company has limited assets and financial resources, so such adverse event could put investors’ dollars at significant risk.

 

The Company’s business model is capital intensive. The amount of capital the Company is attempting to raise in this Offering is not enough to sustain the Company’s current business plan. In order to achieve near and long-term goals, the Company will need to procure funds in addition to the amount raised in the Offering. There is no guarantee the Company will be able to raise such funds on acceptable terms or at all. If the Company is not able to raise sufficient capital in the future, then it will not be able to execute its business plan, its continued operations will be in jeopardy and it may be forced to cease operations and sell or otherwise transfer all or substantially all of its remaining assets, which could cause a Purchaser to lose all or a portion of his or her investment.

 

The Company’s expenses will significantly increase as they seek to execute their current business model. Although the Company estimates that it has enough runway until the end of the year, they will be ramping up cash burn to promote revenue growth, initiate payroll, further develop R&D, and fund other Company operations after the raise. Doing so could require significant effort and expense or may not be feasible.

 

The Company does not currently hold any intellectual property and they may not be able to obtain such intellectual property. Their ability to obtain protection for their intellectual property (whether through patent, trademark, copyright, or other IP right) is uncertain due to a number of factors, including that the Company may not have been the first to make the inventions. The Company has not conducted any formal analysis of the “prior art” in their technology, and the existence of any such prior art would bring the novelty of their technologies into question and could cause the pending patent applications to be rejected. Further, changes in U.S. and foreign intellectual property law may also impact their ability to successfully prosecute their IP applications. For example, the United States Congress and other foreign legislative bodies may amend their respective IP laws in a manner that makes obtaining IP more difficult or costly. Courts may also render decisions that alter the application of IP laws and detrimentally affect their ability to obtain such protection. Even if the Company is able to successfully register IP, this intellectual property may not provide meaningful protection or commercial advantage. Such IP may not be broad enough to prevent others from developing technologies that are similar or that achieve similar results to theirs. It is also possible that the intellectual property rights of others will bar the Company from licensing their technology and bar them or their customer licensees from exploiting any patents that issue from the pending applications. Finally, in addition to those who may claim priority, any patents that issue from the patent applications may also be challenged by competitors on the basis that they are otherwise invalid or unenforceable.

 

10 

 

 

Manufacturing or design defects, unanticipated use of the Company's products, or inadequate disclosure of risks relating to the use of the products could lead to injury or other adverse events. These events could lead to recalls or safety alerts relating to its products (either voluntary or required by governmental authorities) and could result, in certain cases, in the removal of a product from the market. Any recall could result in significant costs as well as negative publicity that could reduce demand for its products. Personal injuries relating to the use of its products could also result in product liability claims being brought against the Company. In some circumstances, such adverse events could also cause delays in new product approvals. Similarly, negligence in performing its services can lead to injury or other adverse events.

 

The Company’s success is dependent on commercial adoption of agricultural autonomous robots, a relatively unproven market. The Company may incur substantial operating costs, particularly in sales and marketing and research and development, in attempting to develop these markets. If the market for the Company’s products develops more slowly than it expects, its growth may slow or stall, and its operating results would be harmed. The market for agricultural autonomous robots is still evolving, and the Company depends on continued growth of this market. It is uncertain whether the trend of adoption of agricultural autonomous robots that the Company has experienced in the past will continue in the future.

 

The development and commercialization of the Company’s products and services are highly competitive. It faces competition with respect to any products and services that it may seek to develop or commercialize in the future. Its competitors include major companies worldwide. The agricultural robotics market is an emerging industry where new competitors are entering the market frequently. Many of the Company’s competitors have significantly greater financial, technical and human resources and may have superior expertise in research and development and marketing approved services and thus may be better equipped than the Company to develop and commercialize services. These competitors also compete with the Company in recruiting and retaining qualified personnel and acquiring technologies. Smaller or early-stage companies may also prove to be significant competitors, particularly through collaborative arrangements with large and established companies. Accordingly, the Company’s competitors may commercialize products more rapidly or effectively than the Company is able to, which would adversely affect its competitive position, the likelihood that its services will achieve initial market acceptance and its ability to generate meaningful additional revenues from its products and services.

 

The Company may be unable to maintain, promote, and grow its brand through marketing and communications strategies. It may prove difficult for the Company to dramatically increase the number of customers that it serves or to establish itself as a well-known brand in the competitive AgTech space. Additionally, the product may be in a market where customers will not have brand loyalty.

 

We rely on a small management team to execute our business plan. Our management team is currently small and made up of only three part-time individuals, Suma Reddy, Kevin Morris, and Soummaya Datta whom we rely on to help us raise funds and help grow our business. Our partnership and relationship with Wavemaker Labs is crucial for us to achieve our growth plan.

 

11 

 

 

The Company is still beta testing the first version of their robot. Sophisticated technology platforms often contain errors or defects, such as errors in computer code or other systems errors, particularly when first introduced or when new versions or enhancements are released. The development of new or enhanced products is a complex and uncertain process requiring the accurate anticipation of technological and market trends, as well as precise technological execution. Despite quality assurance measures, internal testing, and beta testing by customers, the Company cannot guarantee that its current and future products, including upgrades to those products, will be free of serious defects, which could result in lost revenue, refunds without a commensurate decrease in costs, delays in market acceptance, increase in costs, reputational harm, and costs associated with defending or settling claims. If upgrades are not properly implemented, the availability and functioning of its products could be impaired.

 

The Company is subject to rapid technological change and dependence on new product development. Their industry is characterized by rapid and significant technological developments, frequent new product introductions and enhancements, continually evolving business expectations and swift changes. To compete effectively in such markets, the Company must continually improve and enhance its products and services and develop new technologies and services that incorporate technological advances, satisfy increasing customer expectations and compete effectively on the basis of performance and price. Their success will also depend substantially upon the Company's ability to anticipate, and to adapt its products and services to its collaborative partner’s preferences. There can be no assurance that technological developments will not render some of its products and services obsolete, or that they will be able to respond with improved or new products, services, and technology that satisfy evolving customers’ expectations. Failure to acquire, develop or introduce new products, services, and enhancements in a timely manner could have an adverse effect on their business and results of operations. Also, to the extent one or more of their competitors introduces products and services that better address a customer’s needs, their business would be adversely affected.

 

We may need to raise additional capital, which might not be available or might be available only on terms unfavorable to us or our investors. In order to continue to operate and grow the business, we will likely need to raise additional capital beyond this current financing round by offering shares of our Common or Preferred Stock and/or other classes of equity. All of these would result in dilution to our existing investors, plus they may include additional rights or terms that may be unfavorable to our existing investor base. We cannot assure you that the necessary funds will be available on a timely basis, on favorable terms, or at all, or that such funds, if raised, would be sufficient. The level and timing of future expenditure will depend on a number of factors, many of which are outside our control. If we are not able to obtain additional capital on acceptable terms, or at all, we may be forced to curtail or abandon our growth plans, which could adversely impact the Company, its business, development, financial condition, operating results or prospects.

 

The independent CPA has included a “going concern” note in its Independent Auditor’s Report on our 2020-2021 financial statements.

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As described in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has not generated revenues or profits since inception, has sustained net losses of $2,083,436 and $488,894 for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and has incurred negative cash flows from operations for years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $3,288,059, limited liquid assets with $2,201 of cash, and a working capital deficit of $770,513. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

 

The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in the next twelve months following the date the financial statements were available to be issued is dependent upon its ability to produce revenues and/or obtain financing sufficient to meet current and future obligations and deploy such to produce profitable operating results. Management has evaluated these conditions and plans to generate revenues and raise capital as needed to satisfy its capital needs. No assurance can be given that the Company will be successful in these efforts.

 

These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities.

Even if we raise the maximum amount in this offering, Future VC will control 35% of our outstanding voting stock. The Class F Stock is entitled to certain protective provisions, as described in herein under “Securities Being Offered” and the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation. Any vote in regard to the approval or disapproval of those items listed under the protective provisions would be either controlled by or substantially influenced by Future VC, LLC, potentially against the interests of the rest of the Common Stockholders, which have ceded their voting rights to the Company’s CEO.

 

You will need to keep records of your investment for tax purposes. As with all investments in securities, if you sell our Common Stock at a profit or loss, you will probably need to pay tax on the long- or short-term capital gains that you realize or apply the loss to other taxable income. If you do not have a regular brokerage account or your regular broker will not hold our Common Stock for you (and many brokers refuse to hold securities issued under Regulation A) there will be nobody keeping records for you for tax purposes. You will have to keep your own records and calculate the gain or loss on any sales of the Common Stock.

  

Our Subscription Agreement for this Offering, as well as our Bylaws, as amended, include forum selection provision, which could result in less favorable outcomes to the plaintiff(s) in any action against the Company. Our subscription agreement for this offering, as well as our Bylaws, as amended, include forum selection provisions that requires any claims against the Company by subscribers or stockholders not arising under the federal securities laws to be brought in designated judicial forums. The bylaws provide that certain actions regarding the governance of the company be brought in the Court of Chancery State in the state of Delaware, and the subscription agreement provides that any actions arising based on the subscription agreement be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction in the state of Delaware. This forum selection provision may limit investors’ ability to bring claims in judicial forums that they find favorable to such disputes and may discourage lawsuits with respect to such claims.

 

The value of your investment may be diluted if the company issues additional options. A pool of unallocated options is typically reserved for future employees, which affects the fully-diluted pre-money valuation for this offering. The price per share of the Common Stock has been calculated assuming a 3% post-money option pool, which may not account for all additional options the company will issue after the offering and may not provide adequate protection against the dilution investors may face due to such additional issuances. Any option issuances by the company over the 3% pool will lower the value of your shares.

 

As of December 31, 2021 there was a total of 200,695 authorized shares available for option grants under the Company’s stock option plan.

The subscription agreement has a forum selection provision that requires disputes be resolved in state or federal courts in the State of California, regardless of convenience or cost to you, the investor.

 

In order to invest in this offering, investors agree to resolve disputes arising under the subscription agreement in state or federal courts located in the State of California, for the purpose of any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of or based upon the agreement. Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. We believe that the exclusive forum provision applies to claims arising under the Securities Act, but there is uncertainty as to whether a court would enforce such a provision in this context. Section 27 of the Exchange Act creates exclusive federal jurisdiction over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. As a result, the exclusive forum provision will not apply to suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction. You will not be deemed to have waived the Company’s compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. This forum selection provision may limit your ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us.  Alternatively, if a court were to find the provision inapplicable to, or unenforceable in an action, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such matters in other jurisdictions, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.

 

The Bylaws of the Company include a forum selection clause, which could limit our stockholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us or our directors, officers, employees or agents.

 

Our Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”) require that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware shall be the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf, (ii) any action asserting a claim for breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any of our directors, officers, employees or agents to us or our stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the Delaware General Corporation Law, our Certificate of Incorporation or our Bylaws or (iv) any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine, in each case subject to said Court of Chancery having personal jurisdiction over the indispensable parties named as defendants therein.

 

Our Bylaws provide that this exclusive forum provision will not apply to claims arising under the Securities Act. Further, this provision will not apply to claims arising under the Exchange Act, as Section 27 of the Exchange Act creates exclusive federal jurisdiction over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. This forum selection provision in our Bylaws may limit our stockholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us or our directors, officers, employees or agents, which may discourage lawsuits against us and such persons. It is also possible that, notwithstanding the forum selection clause included in our Bylaws, a court could rule that such a provision is inapplicable or unenforceable

Dilution

 

Dilution means a reduction in value, control or earnings of the shares the investor owns.

 

Immediate dilution

 

An early-stage company typically sells its shares (or grants options over its shares) to its founders and early employees at a very low cash cost, because they are, in effect, putting their “sweat equity” into the Company. When the Company seeks cash investments from outside investors, like you, the new investors typically pay a much larger sum for their shares than the founders or earlier investors, which means that the cash value of your stake is diluted because each share of the same type is worth the same amount, and you paid more for your shares than earlier investors did for theirs.

 

The following table compares the price that new investors are paying for their shares with the effective cash price paid by existing shareholders, giving effect to full conversion of all outstanding stock options, and assuming that the shares are sold at $1.87 per share. The schedule presents shares and pricing as issued and reflects all transactions since inception, which gives investors a better picture of what they will pay for their investment compared to the Company’s insiders than just including such transactions for the last 12 months, which is what the SEC requires.

The following table demonstrates the dilution that new investors will experience upon investment in the Company. This table uses the Company’s audited net tangible book value as of December 31, 2021 of ($286,251) which is derived from the net equity of the Company in the December 31, 2021 financial statements. This tangible net book value is then adjusted to contemplate conversion of all other convertible instruments outstanding at current that would provide proceeds to the Company. The offering costs assumed in the following table includes up to $65,000 in fixed fees to Dalmore Group, variable commissions to Dalmore Group, as well as legal and accounting fees incurred for this Offering.

 

The table presents three scenarios for the convenience of the reader: a $100,000 raise from this offering, a $2,500,000 raise from this offering, and a fully subscribed $5,000,000 raise from this offering (maximum offering).

Future Dilution

 

Another important way of looking at dilution is the dilution that happens due to future actions by the company. The investor’s stake in a company could be diluted due to the company issuing additional shares, whether as part of a capital-raising event, or issued as compensation to the company’s employees or marketing partners. In other words, when the company issues more shares, the percentage of the company that you own will go down, even though the value of the company may go up. You will own a smaller piece of a larger company. This increase in number of shares outstanding could result from a stock offering (such as an initial public offering, another crowdfunding round, a venture capital round, angel investment), employees exercising stock options, or by conversion of certain instruments (e.g. convertible bonds, preferred shares or warrants) into stock.

 

18 

 

 

If the company decides to issue more shares, an investor could experience value dilution, with each share being worth less than before, and control dilution, with the total percentage an investor owns being less than before. There may also be earnings dilution, with a reduction in the amount earned per share (though this typically occurs only if the company offers dividends, and most development stage companies do not pay dividends for some time).

 

The type of dilution that hurts early-stage investors most occurs when the company sells more shares in a “down round,” meaning at a lower valuation than in earlier offerings. An example of how this might occur is as follows (numbers are for illustrative purposes only):

 

  · In June 2014, Jane invests $20,000 for shares that represent 2% of a company valued at $1 million.

 

  · In December, the company is doing very well and sells $5 million in shares to venture capitalists on a valuation (before the new investment) of $10 million. Jane now owns only 1.3% of the company, but her stake is worth $200,000.

 

  · In June 2015, the company has run into serious problems, and in order to stay afloat, it raises $1 million at a valuation of only $2 million (the “down round”). Jane now owns only 0.89% of the company, and her stake is worth only $26,660.

 

If you are making an investment expecting to own a certain percentage of the company or expecting each share to hold a certain amount of value, it’s important to realize how the value of those shares can decrease by actions taken by the company. Dilution can make drastic changes to the value of each share, ownership percentage, voting control, and earnings per share. In some cases, dilution can also completely wipe out the value of investments made by early investors, without any person being at fault.

 

Investors should understand how dilution works and the availability of anti-dilution protection.

 

Use of Proceeds To The Issuer

 

Assuming a maximum raise of $5,000,000, the net proceeds of this offering would be approximately $4,908,750 after subtracting estimated offering costs of $65,000 to Dalmore Group in commissions, and $26,250 in audit, legal, and filings fees. If Future Acres successfully raises the maximum amount under this raise the Company intends to hire additional personnel in engineering and sales, spend additional on marketing to bring in more leads and customers, in addition to being able to fund a minimum viable product which can be used to begin production.

 

Assuming a raise of $2,500,000, representing 50% of the maximum offering amount, the net proceeds would be approximately $2,433,750 after subtracting estimated offering costs of $25,000 to Dalmore Group in commissions and $41,250 in audit, legal, and filings fees. In such an event, Future Acres would hire a few less personnel engineering, sales, and marketing, but still be able to fund its minimum viable product and move into full production of Carry and Pik.

 

19 

 

 

Assuming a raise of $100,000, representing 2% of the maximum offering amount, net proceeds would be approximately $57,750 after subtracting estimated offering costs of $1,000 to Dalmore Group in commissions and $41,250 in audit, legal, and filings fees..

Because the offering is a “best efforts”, we may close the offering without sufficient funds for all the intended purposes set out above, or even to cover the costs of this offering. Should the Company raise more than $1,000,000 in gross proceeds from the offering, it intends to use a portion of the proceeds to pay back Wavemaker Labs for all or a portion of the amount owed under its Master Services Agreement, under which the total amount outstanding as of December 31, 2021 was $470,678. The liability to Wavemaker Labs was incurred for services relating to development of the prototype and general support of the Company.

 

The Company reserves the right to change the above use of proceeds if management believes it is in the best interests of the Company.

 

Our Business

 

Company History

 

Future Acres was incorporated on December 4, 2017 when the team saw the need for a collaborative farm robot that could assist farmworkers with daily tasks. Farm owners are facing rising labor costs and a decreasing labor supply which, if not addressed, could force many farms to shut down permanently. Most farm robotics solutions focus on tasks such as weeding or spraying but overlook many of the most time-consuming tasks performed by American farmworkers. For example, labor accounts for approximately 50% of the cost of a box of grapes in the market. During a typical harvest, laborers spend 30% of their time transporting fruit. The team at Future Acres saw an opportunity to provide a tool to make farmworkers more efficient and to decrease the physical toll on their bodies, while simultaneously reducing labor costs for farm owners.

 

We are backed by Wavemaker, a global venture capital firm, and by Wavemaker Labs (Future Labs VII, Inc.), its in-house robotics and automation corporate innovation studio. Future Acres has common ownership with Wavemaker Labs. Both entities are majority owned by Future VC, LLC, which controls the majority (58%) of voting stock of both entities. We are based in El Segundo, California and are currently working on version two of our prototype.

Product Overview

 

Future Acres is focused on building autonomous robotic solutions to help automate many of the elements involved in producing specialty crops to help ameliorate the labor challenges US producers face today. Carry is an all-terrain, all-weather autonomous robot designed to transport produce from the field to central warehouses/processing centers on the farm. Carry has several technologies including:

 

  · Computer vision for environment interpretation and localization within the farm
     
  · Autonomous route planning and navigation between in-field pickers and sorting locations
     
  · Machine learning to identify and locate objects of interest in the robot’s 3D world
     
  · Follow me mode, allowing Future Acres to follow a human anywhere
     
  · Rechargeable batteries that can be swapped in-field in real time to support 12+ operational hours
     
  · 250+ pounds payload support

 

Carry is modular in design and can support an array of robotic technologies on its chassis. The Company’s long-term vision is to develop a range of agricultural robots based on Carry to fully automate farming operations for its customers.

 

Pik is a smart wheelbarrow that works with Carry and farm workers to transport crops across farms. Workers load Pik with crops; as Pik reaches payload, Carry is alerted and travels to workers to be loaded with crops and returned to the sorting station.

 

Future Acres plans to develop a command center for the transport robots, where they can automatically park and recharge their batteries. Finally, Future Acres plans to develop technology to enable Carry to harvest autonomously.

Market

 

The US agriculture industry is a crucial component of the US economy and has fed the nation since its founding. Today, according to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) US farm output is worth $132 billion, about 1% of US GDP. However, the total value added to GDP by industries that directly rely on farm inputs - such as restaurants, grocery stores and apparel producers - is over $1 trillion. Thus, US agriculture plays a crucial supporting role for over $900 billion in value created thanks to farm outputs. Increases in the cost of US fruits, meat, tobacco, leather and cotton will have a ripple effect throughout the economy and either squeeze margins for businesses further up the value-chain or increase prices to end consumers.

 

The output of US farms has grown at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 1.42% in the period between 1948 and 2019. In practice this means that US farms produce 2.7 times as much output in 2019 as in 1948. In the same time period, the total amount of inputs (machinery, fertilizer, etc.) has only grown at a CAGR of 0.06%. Most remarkably, however, the amount of labor used in agricultural production between 1948 and 2019 has decreased at a rate of -1.87% annually. US agriculture has been becoming steadily more productive and significantly less labor intensive for decades. To put it in perspective, US farmers use ¼ the labor they used in 1948 to create 2.7 times the agricultural output in 2019.

 

Future Acres’ market opportunity is to further contribute to the decreasing labor intensity of agriculture by automating commodity tasks on the farm like food and fruit transport back to the granary/warehouse. While US agriculture has been becoming steadily less labor intensive, the nature of the labor used has also shifted dramatically. For much of US history agriculture has been dominated by family farms and family farmworkers. In 1950, 7.6 million family farmworkers worked in US agriculture while only 2.3 million hired farmworkers did. Hired farmworkers made up just over 20% of the agricultural labor force. Over time, this has shifted dramatically. By 2000, just 2 million family farmworkers worked in US agriculture while 1.1 million hired farmworkers did. Hired farmworkers now make up 35% of the agricultural labor force.

 

Finally, about half of US farmworkers are undocumented. This presents a challenge to farmworkers who are unable to rely on the protections and benefits of the US legal and financial system because of their undocumented status and are therefore vulnerable to employer abuse. Similarly, hiring undocumented workers is illegal and puts famers in legal limbo.

 

The increasing importance of hired farmworkers is creating significant labor challenges for US farmworkers who are struggling to find and hire them. Future Acres is focused on creating robotic farming solutions for producers of specialty crops where labor costs are significantly higher than for commodity crops like corn. According to the USDA, the value of US horticultural production - production of fruits, nuts and vegetables – has increased drastically from an average just over $50 billion from 2015-2020 to $86 billion in 2021.

Design and Development

 

We are currently developing the minimal viable product (“MVP”), which will focus on the most important features of our product: safety, self-navigation, and durability.

 

  · Hardware – We are currently evaluating the chassis and battery system for the MVP. Our current focus is on removing unnecessary weight from the robot and building a system to track the voltage/capacity of the batteries.

 

  · Computer Vision – Our computer vision identifies nearby objects and is being taught how to classify and react to them.

 

  · Navigation - Our engineers have already begun simulating/testing perception controls and navigation.

 

  · Instrument Cluster – We are actively working on separating instrument clusters. This involves spec’ing the various components that control the robot and avoiding potential problems, such as shielding and electromagnetic interference between instruments.

Manufacturing

 

The strategy for manufacturing will evolve with production volumes, leveraging contract manufacturers to meet initial and medium-term demand while Future Acres builds and fine tunes its internal production lines to service long-term demand. We have not yet identified any contract manufacturers that we intend to engage for future production. In the near term, all Future Acres products will be produced internally and locally in order to maintain control over quality and cost, and most importantly, to ensure there is a direct source of feedback for ongoing product improvement.

 

Initial pre-production volumes, roughly on the order of 10-50 units, will be produced in small batches internally and through local manufacturers for certain specially made parts. This will allow Future Acres to rapidly address any issues that may arise and help ensure a smooth ramp-up for the contract manufacturer. Once released for production, demand will be met by a combination of the output from the contract manufacturers along with our own internal production lines, the majority from the contract manufacturer at first. This will allow Future Acres to focus on automation and quality programs without restricting production volumes. As production begins to scale, Future Acres plans to use other manufacturing opportunities for faster production at lower costs.

 

Sales & Marketing

 

We believe our collaborative farm robot will resonate with commercial farmers from a variety of industries because of how it streamlines a number of operational complexities such as labor, retention, training, and safety. There is a growing labor crisis in the American agriculture industry that is going largely unaddressed. Labor cost is increasing while supply decreases, putting farm owners in a difficult position. Our initial R&D partners and potential customers have indicated to us that harvesters of specialty crops like grapes spend 30% of their time transporting crops via wheelbarrow to sorting areas. This is inefficient and increases labor costs as well as lengthens the harvesting period. These harvesters are paid hourly, so every hour counts. By eliminating the manual transport process we believe our product can reduce labor costs by up to 30%, resulting in more efficient crop harvesting. If proven out, this labor cost reduction would yield $1.7B in savings to California farmers alone. Furthermore, without the need for additional laborers, these farms will not have the built-in headaches brought on by the labor shortage in the US. If we can prove its value through our two founding corporate partners, we believe other commercial farms will follow suit.

Competition

 

Farm robots are generally thought of in one of two ways - small farm robotics (e.g., Carry) and large farm robotics (e.g., the autonomous concept tractor from Case IH). Small farm robotics is a relatively new category with several startups in the space building robots targeting different types of produce and different elements of the farming process. The large farm robotics space is slightly more established and is dominated by major players such as John Deere, AGCO and CNH Industrial.

 

John Deere is the dominant player in the agricultural machinery market. The company produces 32 percent of all agricultural and construction-related machinery and maintains a monopoly over its equipment repair. The company is remarkably innovative for an incumbent and recently demoed to the public a fully autonomous tractor that leverages a combination of high-precision GPS (up to 1-inch accuracy), computer vision and machine learning to operate more effectively and cheaper than a human operated tractor. Recently, the company bought Blue River Technology in 2017 to aid its ability to use machine learning in the field. The company is the standard for agricultural equipment, but primarily focused on building large farm robotics like tractors as opposed to small farm robotics. Nonetheless, it’s likely they will compete directly with Future Acres at some point.

 

The most direct competitor to Future Acres in the small farm robotics space is Burro from Augean Robotics. Burro is a farm vehicle that can follow people, follow crop rows, and re-run programmed routes. The robot can travel up to eight miles per charge and has a payload of up to 500 pounds and are commercially available in Spring 2022.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis on Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes included in this Offering Circular. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates, and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements.

 

Operating Results – Fiscal Years Ended December 31, 2020 and 2021

 

The Company is in an early stage of development and has not generated revenue for the periods ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2021.

 

Our costs and expenses currently consist of salaries from employees and contractors related to engineering, research and development, business development, marketing, and fundraising, as well as a net interest expense. For the period ended December 31, 2021, these costs totaled $2,083,436 , which include $1,768,496 in research and development related costs, $269,040 in sales and marketing expenses, $33,013 in general and administrative expenses, and $(12,887) in other expenses. All of our costs in 2020 were labor costs related to engineering, business development, and marketing, as well as a net interest expense. These totaled $488,894 for the period ended December 31, 2020, which include $258,792 in research and development related costs, $176,228 in sales and marketing expenses, $38,730 in general and administrative expenses, and $(15,144) in other expenses. The primary driver for increased operating expenses in 2021 were related to the progress the Company made on advancing its product suite, most notably on Carry, the Company’s all-terrain, all-weather autonomous robot

 

Since the end of the period covered by our financial statements, we have increased our legal and professional, research and development, marketing, and administrative expenses. Labor costs from full time and part time employees and third-party contractors also increased as we began to ramp up prototype development efforts.

 

26 

 

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources – Fiscal Years Ended December 31, 2020 and 2021

 

As of December 31, 2021, the Company’s cash on hand was $2,201. The Company continues to rely on fundraising and inter-company loans from related parties to fund development and advance the business. Further details of these inter-company loans can be found under “Interest of Management and Others in Certain Transactions” below.

 

In 2021, the Company closed a Regulation A+ offering on SeedInvest, issuing 914,830 shares of Series Seed preferred stock for gross proceeds of $1,518,518. Those proceeds were used primarily on research and development expenses.

 

As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company had $470,678 and $354,154, respectively, in accounts payable with related parties under common control. If we raise more than $1,000,000 in this Offering, we intend to use proceeds to repay some or all of this outstanding balance.

 

In addition, during 2021, the Company netted certain note receivables and payables with the corresponding related party entities. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had notes payable to one related party, Future VC, LLC, totaling $200,245.

 

27 

 

  

Plan of Operations

 

We have not yet generated any revenues and we currently have a small team of part time employees and consultants who have helped us build a working prototype.  The previous fundraising round covered all costs to date for initial prototype build, company creation and business development efforts including field research. Our previous financing round indicated that if we raised more than the minimum offering amount, we would be able to hasten development of additional features of our technology. We were able to make progress on our technology, and have a clear product roadmap for the next 12-24 months. However, because we were unable to raise significantly more than the minimum amount of our previous offering, we were unable to deliver the first batch of working robotics to our customers by the end of 2021.

 

If we raise the maximum amount set out in our “Use of Proceeds”, we will begin hiring more engineers to help us complete a fully working prototype and a minimal viable product which would allow us to start production and deliver product on our two letters of intent.  Based on our projections, we estimate that within 6-12 months, we will be able to start production on several units and deliver our first fully operational prototype Carry robots.

 

We believe the maximum offering amount of proceeds will satisfy our cash requirements to implement our plan of operations. Raising the maximum offering will allow us to speed up production and deliver commercial units to our corporate partners faster than planned.

 

If we raise the maximum amount of funds, we do not anticipate having to raise additional capital for the business. However, raising the minimum amount would likely result in us having to raise additional funds within 12 to 16 months.

 

Trend Information

 

For the first 6 months of 2021, the Company began ramping up its marketing and fundraising efforts in preparation for the 2021 launch of its Regulation A+ equity crowdfunding offering on SeedInvest. These marketing and fundraising efforts were in part financed by Wavemaker Labs as part of our Master Services Agreement.

 

The Company has continued to develop its prototype and expects to start production and deliver the first batch of working farm robots to its two customers towards the end of 2022. Prior to then, we anticipate increased expenses associated with to engineering, research and development, business development, marketing, and fundraising. Any delays in the development process can possibly influence the Company’s ability to meet this deadline. These delays could be the result of inadequate financing and capital, lack of manufacturing resources, or unforeseen delays in the development process. Additionally, because these letters of intent are non-binding, these two customers may not end up purchasing equipment from Future Acres, which could result in delaying when the Company starts making revenue.

 

Although many businesses are financially impacted by COVID-19, we believe our product will see an increase in demand due to the touchless nature of the product. However, the effects of COVID-19 are rapidly growing and remain uncertain for the foreseeable future.

Rights and Preferences

 

Under our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, our Class F Stock includes special conversion rights. These rights provide that the Class F Stock will convert into a recently authorized class of preferred stock under two circumstances, subject to the availability of an exemption from registration of those shares under the Securities Act of 1933. The two circumstances are as follows:

 

  Whenever any holder of our Class F Stock undertakes a secondary sale of those shares within 12 months of an equity financing of the Company in which we issued preferred stock to investors, the secondary purchaser will receive shares of the most recently authorized class of preferred stock in lieu of shares of Class F Stock.
     
  Whenever the Company undertakes an equity financing in which a new class of preferred stock is authorized for issuance to investors, including the equity financing related to this Form 1-A , 25% of the shares of Class F Stock held by each holder of such stock will convert into a shadow series of shares of the subsequent series of preferred stock. The shadow series of subsequent preferred stock shall mean capital stock with identical rights, privileges, preferences and restrictions as the subsequent preferred stock, except:

 

    The liquidation preference per share of the shadow series shall equal the original purchase price per share of the Common Stock from which the Class F Stock was converted.
     
    The shadow series shall be excluded from voting with the subsequent preferred stock on any matters of the Company which either the subsequent preferred stock, specifically, or preferred stock of the Company, generally, have veto rights over.
     
    The shadow series shall be excluded from any future rights or most favored nations privileges.

 

As noted above under “Risk Factors”, these conversion rights could create situations in which the interests of holders of Class F Stock are in conflict with the interests of investors in this offering as holders of Class F Stock would benefit from advantageous terms provided to future classes of preferred stock that encourage secondary purchasers of such stock, or rights holders of Class F Stock would benefit from directly following the conversion of their stock.

 

As long as 750,00 of the initially issued shares of Class F Stock remain issued and outstanding, the Company or any of its subsidiaries shall not, without first obtaining the approval (by vote or written consent as provided by law) of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class F Stock:

 

  · amend, alter or repeal any provision of this Certificate of Incorporation or bylaws of the Corporation if such action would adversely alter the rights, preferences, privileges or powers of, or restrictions provided for the benefit of, the Class F Stock;
     
  · increase or decrease the authorized number of shares of Class F Stock;
     
  · liquidate, dissolve or wind-up the business and affairs of the Corporation, effect any merger or consolidation or any other Liquidation Event; or
     
  · authorize or create (by reclassification or otherwise) any new class or series of capital stock having rights, powers, or privileges set forth in the certificate of incorporation of the Corporation, as then in effect, that are senior to or on a parity with the Class F Stock.

 

Series Seed Preferred Stock

 

General

 

The Company has the authority to issue 1,940,486 shares of Series Seed Preferred Stock.

 

Dividend Rights

 

The holders of the Series Seed Preferred Stock, Series Seed Shadow Stock, Class F Stock and Common Stock shall be entitled to receive, on a pari passu basis, when and as declared by the Board of Directors, out of any assets of the Corporation legally available therefor, such dividends as may be declared from time to time by the Board of Directors. For this purpose, each holder of shares of Series Seed Preferred Stock will be treated as holding the greatest whole number of shares of Common Stock then issuable upon conversion of all shares of Series Seed Preferred Stock held by such holder pursuant to the Conversion Rights detailed below.

Voting Rights and Proxy

 

On any matter presented to the stockholders of the Corporation for their action or consideration at any meeting of stockholders of the Corporation (or by written consent of stockholders in lieu of meeting), each holder of outstanding shares of Series Seed Preferred Stock may cast the number of votes equal to the number of whole shares of Common Stock into which the shares of Series Seed Preferred Stock held by such holder are convertible as of the record date for determining stockholders entitled to vote on such matter. Fractional votes shall not be permitted and any fractional voting rights available on an as-converted basis (after aggregating all shares into which shares of Preferred stock held by each holder could be converted) will be rounded to the nearest whole number (with one-half being rounded upward). Except as provided by law or by the other provisions of the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, holders of Series Seed Preferred Stock shall vote together with the holders of Common Stock, Class F Stock, and Series Seed Shadow Stock as a single class on an as-converted basis, shall have full voting rights and powers equal to the voting rights and powers of the holders of Common Stock, and shall be entitled, notwithstanding any provision of the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, to notice of any stockholder meeting in accordance with the Bylaws of the Corporation.

 

At any time when at least 25% of the initially issued shares of Series Seed Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the Corporation shall not, either directly or indirectly by amendment, merger, consolidation or otherwise, do any of the following without (in addition to any other vote required by law or the Restated Certificate) the written consent or affirmative vote of the Requisite Holders, given in writing or by vote at a meeting, consenting, or voting (as the case may be) separately as a single class:

 

  Alter or change the rights, powers or privileges of the Preferred Stock set forth in the Restated Certificate or Bylaws, as then in effect, in a way that adversely affects the Preferred Stock;

 

  Amend the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation;

  

  Increase or decrease the authorized number of shares of Series Seed Preferred Stock, or any other stock of the Company;

 

  Increase or decrease the authorized number of directors set forth in the Bylaws;

 

  Authorize or create (by reclassification or otherwise) any new class or series of capital stock having rights, powers, or privileges set forth in the certificate of incorporation of the Corporation, as then in effect, that are senior to or on a parity with any series of Preferred Stock;

 

  Purchase or redeem (or permit any subsidiary to purchase or redeem) or pay or declare any dividend or make any distribution on, any shares of capital stock of the Corporation other than (i) redemptions of or dividends or distributions on the Series Seed Preferred Stock as expressly authorized in the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, (ii) dividends or other distributions payable on the Common Stock solely in the form of additional shares of Common Stock and (iii) repurchases of stock from former employees, officers, directors, consultants or other persons who performed services for the Corporation or any subsidiary in connection with the cessation of such employment or service at the lower of the original purchase price or the then-current fair market value thereof; and

 

  liquidate, dissolve or wind-up the business and affairs of the Corporation, effect any merger or consolidation or any other Deemed Liquidation Event, or consent to any of the foregoing.

  

Election of Directors

 

The holders of record of the Company’s capital stock are entitled to elect directors as described in the Board Composition. Any director elected as provided in the preceding sentence may be removed without cause by the affirmative vote of the holders of the shares of the class, classes, or series of capital stock entitled to elect the director or directors, given either at a special meeting of the stockholders duly called for that purpose or pursuant to a written consent of stockholders. At any meeting held for the purpose of electing a director, the presence in person or by proxy of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the class, classes, or series entitled to elect the director constitutes a quorum for the purpose of electing the director.

 

35 

 

 

Voting Procedure

 

Each holder of Series Seed Preferred Stock (or, if converted or exchanged, such class of stock into which the Series Seed Preferred Stock may be converted or exchanged) shall have seven (7) calendar days after receipt of notice (the “Notice Period”) of any action subject to a vote of the holder. If a holder of Series Seed Preferred Stock fails to vote within the Notice Period, such failure will serve as authorization for the Board to vote such holder’s shares in alignment with the majority of all voting Series Seed Preferred Stock (or, if converted or exchanged, such class of stock into which the Series Seed Preferred Stock may be converted or exchanged); provided, however, that if less than 33% of the Series Seed Preferred Stock (or, if converted or exchanged, such class of stock into which the Series Seed Preferred Stock may be converted or exchanged) have voted within the Notice Period, the Notice Period will be extended by a minimum of seven (7) calendar days up to a maximum of fourteen (14) calendar days until at least 33% of the Series Seed Preferred Stock (or, if converted or exchanged, such class of stock into which the Series Seed Preferred Stock may be converted or exchanged) have voted on such action, and if, after the Notice Period has been extended up to the maximum fourteen (14) calendar days, less than 33% of the Series Seed Preferred Stock (or, if converted or exchanged, such class of stock into which the Series Seed Preferred Stock may be converted or exchanged) have voted on such action, the Board shall be authorized to vote on such action on behalf of such shares that failed to vote in the Board’s discretion.

  

Liquidation Rights

 

In the event of the Company’s liquidation, dissolution, or winding up, whether voluntary or involuntary, before any payment shall be made to the holders of Class F Stock or Common Stock by reason of their ownership thereof, the holders of shares of Series Seed Preferred and Series Seed Shadow then outstanding must be paid out of the funds and assets available for distribution to its stockholders, an amount per share equal to the greater of (i) the Original Issue Price (as defined below) for such share of such series of Series Seed Preferred, plus any dividends declared but unpaid thereon, or (ii) such amount per share as would have been payable had all shares of such series of Series Seed Preferred been converted into Common Stock prior to such Liquidation Event. If upon any such Liquidation Event, the funds and assets available for distribution to the stockholders of the Corporation are insufficient to pay the holders of shares of Series Seed Preferred the full amount to which they are entitled, the holders of shares of Series Seed Preferred will share ratably in any distribution of the funds and assets available for distribution in proportion to the respective amounts that would otherwise be payable in respect of the shares of Series Seed Preferred held by them upon such distribution if all amounts payable on or with respect to such shares were paid in full. The “Original Issue Price” shall mean (i) $1.66 per share in the case of the Series Seed Preferred Stock and (ii) $0.50 per share in the case of the Series Seed Shadow Stock, in each case, subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or other similar recapitalization with respect to each series of Series Seed Preferred.

 

Conversion Rights

 

The Series Seed Preferred Stock is convertible into the Common Stock of the Company as provided by Article IV of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation. Each share of Series Seed Preferred is convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time, and without the payment of additional consideration by the holder thereof, into such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing the Original Issue Price for the series of Series Seed Preferred by the Conversion Price for that series of Series Seed Preferred in effect at the time of conversion.

 

Upon either (i) the closing of the sale of shares of Common Stock to the public in a firm-commitment underwritten public offering pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended or (ii) the date and time, or the occurrence of an event, specified by vote or written consent of the holders of a majority of the Series Seed Preferred at the time of such vote or consent, voting as a single class on an as-converted basis (the time of such closing or the date and time specified or the time of the event specified in such vote or written consent, the “Mandatory Conversion Time”), (x) all outstanding shares of Series Seed Preferred will automatically convert into shares of Common Stock, at the applicable Conversion Ratio.

 

Other Rights

 

The Series Seed Preferred Stock does not include any right to redemption of the shares and are not subject to any sinking fund provisions.

Series Seed Preferred Shadow Stock

Dividend Rights

 

The holders of the Series Seed Preferred Stock, Series Seed Shadow Stock, Class F Stock and Common Stock shall be entitled to receive, on a pari passu basis, when and as declared by the Board of Directors, out of any assets of the Corporation legally available therefor, such dividends as may be declared from time to time by the Board of Directors

 

Voting Rights

 

The holders of Series Seed Shadow Stock shall vote together with the holders of Series Seed Preferred Stock and as a single class on an as-converted basis on all matters, except as required by applicable law or on any specific actions as outlined above under “Series Seed Preferred Stock” and in the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation.

 

Election of Directors

 

For so long as at least twenty-five percent (25%) of the initially issued shares of Series Seed Preferred remain issued and outstanding, the holders of record of the shares of Series Seed Preferred Stock and Series Seed Shadow Stock, voting together as a single class on an as-converted basis, will have the right to elect one director of the Company; (ii) the holders of record of the shares of Common Stock and Class F Stock, voting together as a single class on an as-converted basis, have the right to elect two directors of the Company; and (iii) any additional directors will be elected by the affirmative vote of a majority of the Series Seed Preferred, Class F Stock and Common Stock, voting together as a single class on an as-converted basis.

 

Liquidation Rights

 

In the event of the Company’s liquidation, dissolution, or winding up, whether voluntary or involuntary, before any payment shall be made to the holders of Class F Stock or Common Stock by reason of their ownership thereof, the holders of shares of Series Seed Preferred and Series Seed Shadow then outstanding must be paid out of the funds and assets available for distribution to its stockholders, an amount per share equal to the greater of (i) the Original Issue Price (as defined below) for such share of such series of Series Seed Preferred, plus any dividends declared but unpaid thereon, or (ii) such amount per share as would have been payable had all shares of such series of Series Seed Preferred been converted into Common Stock prior to such Liquidation Event.

The “Original Issue Price” shall mean (i) $1.66 per share in the case of the Series Seed Preferred Stock and (ii) $0.50 per share in the case of the Series Seed Shadow Stock, in each case, subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or other similar recapitalization with respect to each series of Series Seed Preferred.

Conversion Rights

 

The Series Seed Shadow Stock is convertible into the Common Stock of the Company as provided by Article IV of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation. Each share of Series Seed Shadow is convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time, and without the payment of additional consideration by the holder thereof, into such number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock as is determined by dividing the Original Issue Price for the series of Series Seed Shadow by the Conversion Price for that series of Series Seed Shadow in effect at the time of conversion.

 

Upon either (i) the closing of the sale of shares of Common Stock to the public in a firm-commitment underwritten public offering pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended or (ii) the date and time, or the occurrence of an event, specified by vote or written consent of the holders of a majority of the Series Seed Shadow and Series Seed Preferred at the time of such vote or consent, voting as a single class on an as-converted basis (the time of such closing or the date and time specified or the time of the event specified in such vote or written consent, the “Mandatory Conversion Time”), (x) all outstanding shares of Series Seed Preferred will automatically convert into shares of Common Stock, at the applicable Conversion Ratio.

 

Other Rights

Provisions of Note in Our Bylaws

 

Under Article VII of our Bylaws, the sole and exclusive judicial forum for the following actions will be the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware:

 

(1) Any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Corporation;

 

(2) Any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer or other employee of the Corporation to the Corporation or the Corporation’s stockholders;

 

(3) Any action asserting a claim against the Corporation arising pursuant to any provision of the Delaware General Corporation Law or the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws;

 

(4) Any action asserting a claim against the Corporation governed by the internal affairs doctrine.

 

38 

 

 

Although we believe the provision benefits us by providing increased consistency in the application of Delaware law in the types of lawsuits to which it applies and in limiting our litigation costs, the forum selection provision may limit investors’ ability to bring claims in judicial forums that they find favorable to such disputes and may discourage lawsuits with respect to such claims. The company has adopted the provision to limit the time and expense incurred by its management to challenge any such claims. As a company with a small management team, this provision allows its officers to not lose a significant amount of time travelling to any particular forum so they may continue to focus on operations of the company. This provision is not interpreted to apply to actions arising under the Securities Act. Further, it does not apply to actions arising under the Exchange Act as Section 27 of the Exchange Act creates exclusive federal jurisdiction over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. As a result, the exclusive forum provision will not apply to suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction. Investors will not be deemed to have waived the company’s compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.

On the offering portal, investors will agree to the terms of the Offering, the subscription agreement, and any other relevant exhibit attached thereto. The subscription agreement includes a representation by the investor to the effect that, if you are not an “accredited investor” as defined under securities law, you are investing an amount that does not exceed the greater of 10% of your annual income or 10% of your net worth (excluding your principal residence ). Additionally, investors will be charged a $50 processing fee of $50 per funded investment.

 

Provisions of Note in Our Subscription Agreement

 

Forum Selection Provision

 

The subscription agreement that investors will execute in connection with the offering includes a forum selection provision that requires any claims against the Company based on the agreement to be brought in a state or federal court of competent jurisdiction in the State of California, for the purpose of any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of or based upon the agreement. To the extent it is enforceable, the forum selection provision may limit investors’ ability to bring claims in judicial forums that they find favorable to such disputes and may discourage lawsuits with respect to such claims. The Company has adopted the provision to limit the time and expense incurred by its management to challenge any such claims. As a company with a small management team, this provision allows its officers to not lose a significant amount of time travelling to any particular forum so they may continue to focus on operations of the Company. Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. We believe that the exclusive forum provision applies to claims arising under the Securities Act, but there is uncertainty as to whether a court would enforce such a provision in this context. Section 27 of the Exchange Act creates exclusive federal jurisdiction over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. As a result, the exclusive forum provision will not apply to suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction. Investors will not be deemed to have waived the Company’s compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.

 

Proxy

 

The subscription agreement grants an irrevocable proxy to the company’s President, James Jordan, to (i) vote all securities held of record by the investor, (ii) give and receive notices and communications, (iii) execute any written consent, instrument or document that the President determines is necessary or appropriate at the President’s complete discretion, and (iv) take all actions necessary or appropriate in the judgment of the President for the accomplishment of the foregoing. The proxy will survive the death, incompetency and disability of an individual investor and, if an investor is an entity, will survive the merger or reorganization of the investor or any other entity holding the shares of Common Stock. The proxy will also be binding upon the heirs, estate, executors, personal representatives, successors and assigns of an investor (including any transferee of the investor). Any transferee of the investors party to the subscription agreement must agree to be bound by the terms of the proxy. The proxy will terminate upon the closing of a firm-commitment underwritten public offering pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the offer and sale of Common Stock or the effectiveness of a registration statement under the Exchange Act covering the Common Stock.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

 

DECEMBER 31, 2021 AND 2020

 

F-1 

 

 

 

 

To the Board of Directors of 

Future Acres, Inc. 

Santa Monica, CA

 

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

 

Opinion

 

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Future Acres, Inc. (the “Company”), which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity/(deficit), and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

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

 

Substantial Doubt About the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As described in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has not generated profits since inception, has sustained net losses of $2,083,436 and $488,894 for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and has incurred negative cash flows from operations for years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $3,288,059, limited liquid assets with $2,201 of cash, and a working capital deficit of $770,513. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

 

Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements

 

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

F-2 

 

 

In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are available to be issued.

 

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements, including omissions, are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.

 

In performing an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, we:

 

  · Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.

 

  · Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.

 

  · Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.

 

  · Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements.

 

  · Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

 

We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control related matters that we identified during the audit.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS

 

Future Acres, Inc. (the “Company”) is a corporation formed on December 4, 2017 under the laws of Delaware as Future Labs III, Inc. On October 26, 2020, the Company changed its name to Future Acres, Inc. The Company was formed to sell autonomous farming robots. The Company is headquartered in Santa Monica, California.

 

As of December 31, 2021, the Company has not commenced planned principal operations nor generated revenue. The Company’s activities since inception have consisted of formation activities, product development efforts, and preparations to raise capital. Once the Company commences its planned principal operations, it will incur significant additional expenses. The Company is dependent upon additional capital resources for the commencement of its planned principal operations and is subject to significant risks and uncertainties; including failing to secure funding to operationalize the Company’s planned operations or failing to profitably operate the business.

 

2. GOING CONCERN

 

The Company has evaluated whether there are certain conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued.

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has not generated profits since inception, has sustained net losses of $2,083,436 and $488,894 for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and has incurred negative cash flows from operations for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $3,288,059, limited liquid assets with $2,201 of cash, and a working capital deficit of $770,513. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months is dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations to meet its obligations, which it has not been able to accomplish to date, and/or to obtain additional capital financing. No assurance can be given that the Company will be successful in these efforts. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities.

 

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The Company’s fiscal year is December 31.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates and assumptions reflected in these financial statements include, but are not limited to, the valuations of common stock and stock options. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, known trends and other market-specific or other relevant factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates when there are changes in circumstances, facts and experience. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

F-8 

 

 

Concentrations of Credit Risk

 

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents. The Company generally maintains balances in various operating accounts at financial institutions that management believes to be of high credit quality, in amounts that may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses related to its cash and cash equivalents and does not believe that it is subject to unusual credit risk beyond the normal credit risk associated with commercial banking relationships. At December 31, 2021 and 2020, all of the Company's cash and cash equivalents were held at one accredited financial institution.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents.

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

Certain assets and liabilities of the Company are carried at fair value under GAAP. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value are to be classified and disclosed in one of the following three levels of the fair value hierarchy, of which the first two are considered observable and the last is considered unobservable:

 

  · Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

  · Level 2—Observable inputs (other than Level 1 quoted prices), such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar assets or liabilities, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

 

  · Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity that are significant to determining the fair value of the assets or liabilities, including pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques.

 

The carrying values of the Company’s assets and liabilities approximate their fair values.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

ASC Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” establishes principles for reporting information about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from the entity’s contracts to provide goods or services to customers.

 

Revenues are recognized when control of the promised goods or services are transferred to a customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The Company applies the following five steps in order to determine the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized as it fulfills its obligations under each of its agreements: 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 performance obligations in the contract; and 5) recognize revenue as the performance obligation is satisfied. To date, no revenue has been recognized.

 

Advertising and Promotion

 

Advertising and promotional costs are expensed as incurred.

 

F-9 

 

 

Research and Development Costs

 

Costs incurred in the research and development of the Company’s products are expensed as incurred.

 

Concentrations

 

The Company is dependent on third-party vendors to supply inventory and products for research and development activities and parts for building products. In particular, the Company relies and expects to continue to rely on a small number of vendors. The loss of one of these vendors may have a negative short-term impact on the Company’s operations; however, the Company believes there are acceptable substitute vendors that can be utilized longer-term.

 

Convertible Instruments

 

U.S. GAAP requires companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as free-standing derivative financial instruments according to certain criteria. The criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under otherwise applicable generally accepted accounting principles with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument. An exception to this rule is when the host instrument is deemed to be conventional as that term is described under applicable U.S. GAAP.

 

When the Company has determined that the embedded conversion options should not be bifurcated from their host instruments, the Company records, when necessary, discounts to convertible notes for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in debt instruments based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note. Debt discounts under these arrangements are amortized over the term of the related debt to their stated date of redemption. The Company also records, when necessary, deemed dividends for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in preferred shares based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the preferred shares.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation. The Company measures all stock-based awards granted to employees, directors and non-employee consultants based on the fair value on the date of the grant and recognizes compensation expense for those awards, net of estimated forfeitures, over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period of the respective award. For awards with service-based vesting conditions, the Company records the expense for using the straight-line method. For awards with performance-based vesting conditions, the Company records the expense if and when the Company concludes that it is probable that the performance condition will be achieved.

 

The Company classifies stock-based compensation expense in its statement of operations in the same manner in which the award recipient’s payroll costs are classified or in which the award recipient’s service payments are classified.

 

The fair value of each stock option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Company historically has been a private company and lacks company-specific historical and implied volatility information for its stock. Therefore, it estimates its expected stock price volatility based on the historical volatility of publicly traded peer companies and expects to continue to do so until such time as it has adequate historical data regarding the volatility of its own traded stock price. The expected term of the Company’s stock options has been determined utilizing the “simplified” method for awards that qualify as “plain-vanilla” options. The risk-free interest rate is determined by reference to the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant of the award for time periods approximately equal to the expected term of the award. Expected dividend yield is based on the fact that the Company has never paid cash dividends on common stock and does not expect to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Determining the appropriate fair value of stock-based awards requires the input of subjective assumptions. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of stock-based awards represent management’s best estimates and involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment. As a result, if factors change and management uses different assumptions, stock-based compensation expense could be materially different for future awards.

 

F-10 

 

 

Deferred Offering Costs

 

The Company complies with the requirements of FASB ASC 340-10-S99-1 with regards to offering costs. Prior to the completion of an offering, offering costs are capitalized. The deferred offering costs are charged to additional paid-in capital or as a discount to debt, as applicable, upon the completion of an offering or to expense if the offering is not completed.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes as set forth in ASC 740, Income Taxes. Under the liability method, deferred taxes are determined based on the temporary differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using tax rates expected to be in effect during the years in which the basis differences reverse. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is unlikely that the deferred tax assets will not be realized. We assess our income tax positions and record tax benefits for all years subject to examination based upon our evaluation of the facts, circumstances and information available at the reporting date. In accordance with ASC 740-10, for those tax positions where there is a greater than 50% likelihood that a tax benefit will be sustained, our policy will be to record the largest amount of tax benefit that is more likely than not to be realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. For those income tax positions where there is less than 50% likelihood that a tax benefit will be sustained, no tax benefit will be recognized in the financial statements.

 

Net Loss per Share

 

Net earnings or loss per share is computed by dividing net income or loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, excluding shares subject to redemption or forfeiture. The Company presents basic and diluted net earnings or loss per share. Diluted net earnings or loss per share reflect the actual weighted average of common shares issued and outstanding during the period, adjusted for potentially dilutive securities outstanding. Potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the computation of the diluted net loss per share if their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. As all potentially dilutive securities are anti-dilutive as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, diluted net loss per share is the same as basic net loss per share for each year. Potentially dilutive items outstanding as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 are as follows:

 

   Year Ended 
   December 31, 
   2021   2020

Options to purchase common stock   540,214    516,746 
Warrants   684,917    354,484 
Total potentially dilutive shares   5,273,793    956,122 

 

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

 

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). This ASU requires a lessee to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability under most operating leases in its balance sheet. The ASU is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2021. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is continuing to evaluate the impact of this new standard on our financial reporting and disclosures.

 

F-11 

 

 

In August 2020, FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity; Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”), as part of its overall simplification initiative to reduce costs and complexity of applying accounting standards while maintaining or improving the usefulness of the information provided to users of financial statements. Among other changes, the new guidance removes from GAAP separation models for convertible debt that require the convertible debt to be separated into a debt and equity component, unless the conversion feature is required to be bifurcated and accounted for as a derivative or the debt is issued at a substantial premium. As a result, after adopting the guidance, entities will no longer separately present such embedded conversion features in equity, and will instead account for the convertible debt wholly as debt. The new guidance also requires use of the “if-converted” method when calculating the dilutive impact of convertible debt on earnings per share, which is consistent with the Company’s current accounting treatment under the current guidance. The guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted, but only at the beginning of the fiscal year. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2020-06 will have on the Company’s financial statements.

 

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards could have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements. As new accounting pronouncements are issued, the Company will adopt those that are applicable under the circumstances.

 6. CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE

 

In March and July 2019, the Company issued two convertible promissory notes (the “Notes”) to a third party in exchange for prototyping services performed for an aggregate principal amount of $167,200. The amount was included in research and development expenses in the statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2019. The Notes are subject to automatic conversion upon a qualified preferred stock financing in excess of $500,000. Upon a qualified financing, the outstanding principal and any unpaid accrued interest shall automatically convert at a conversion price equal to the lesser of (i) 80% of the price paid per share for such shares, or (ii) the price (the “valuation cap”) equal to the quotient of $8,000,000 divided by the dilutive common shares outstanding (assuming full conversion and/or exercise of all convertible and/or exercisable securities then outstanding including the Company’s shares reserved for future issuance under the Company’s equity incentive plans). Upon a sale of the Company, the holder will have the option to a) be repaid the outstanding principal and accrued interest or b) convert the Notes into shares of common stock at a price equal to 80% of the price paid per share in the sale of the Company.

 

The Notes have a 2-year term, with the first tranche of $105,600 maturing in March 2021 and the second tranche of $61,600 maturing in July 2021. In connection with the Company’s 2021 preferred equity financing, the outstanding principal and accrued interest of $10,784 were automatically converted into 133,832 shares of Series Seed preferred stock. The related conversion price was $1.33 per share, or 80% of the price of the preferred equity financing.

 

The notes bore interest at 3% per annum. During the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company incurred interest expense of $2,508 and $5,061, respectively.

 

7. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY (DEFICIT)

 

In March 2021, the Company amended its Certificate of Incorporation to issue three classes of stock: preferred stock, Class F stock and common stock. As of December 31, 2021, the Company is authorized to issue 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, of which 1,940,486 shares are designated as Series Seed preferred stock and 750,000 shares are designated as Series Seed preferred shadow stock. The Company is authorized to issue 3,000,000 shares of Class F stock and 10,000,000 shares of common stock. All classes of stock have a par value of $0.0001 per share. The preferred stock and Class F stock are convertible into shares of common stock. The Class F stock is also convertible into shares of preferred stock.

 

The holders of each class of stock shall have the following rights and preferences:

 

Voting

 

The holders of Class F stock , Series Seed and Series Seed shadow series preferred stock are entitled to vote, together with the holders of common stock as a single class, on all matters submitted to stockholders for a vote and have the right to vote the number of shares equal to the number of shares of common stock into which each share of preferred stock could convert on the record date for determination of stockholders entitled to vote.

 

F-13 

 

 

Conversion

9. INCOME TAXES

 

Deferred taxes are recognized for temporary differences between the basis of assets and liabilities for financial statement and income tax purposes. The differences relate primarily to cash to accrual differences, stock-based compensation expense, research and development and net operating loss carryforwards. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company had net deferred tax assets before valuation allowance of $727,822 and $297,983, respectively. The following table presents the deferred tax assets and liabilities by source:

 

   December 31, 
   2021   2020 
Deferred tax assets:          
Net operating loss carryforwards  $568,024   $139,569 
Cash to accrual differences   159,798    158,414 
Valuation allowance   (727,822)   (297,983)
Net deferred tax assets  $-   $- 

 

The Company recognizes deferred tax assets to the extent that it believes that these assets are more likely than not to be realized. In making such a determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations. The Company assessed the need for a valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets and determined a full valuation allowance is required due to taxable losses for the years ended 2021 and 2020, cumulative losses through December 31, 2021, and no history of generating taxable income. Therefore, valuation allowances of $727,822 and $297,983, were recorded as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Valuation allowance increased by $429,839 and $111,394 during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Deferred tax assets were calculated using the Company’s combined effective tax rate, which it estimated to be 28.0%. The effective rate is reduced to 0% for 2021 and 2020 due to the full valuation allowance on its net deferred tax assets.

 

F-16 

 

 

The Company’s ability to utilize net operating loss carryforwards will depend on its ability to generate adequate future taxable income. At December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards available to offset future taxable income in the amounts of $2,029,847 and $498,753, respectively.

 

The Company has evaluated its income tax positions and has determined that it does not have any uncertain tax positions. The Company will recognize interest and penalties related to any uncertain tax positions through its income tax expense.

 

The Company may in the future become subject to federal, state and local income taxation though it has not been since its inception, other than minimum state tax. The Company is not presently subject to any income tax audit in any taxing jurisdiction, though its 2018-2020 tax years remain open to examination.
