* The company has engaged StartEngine Primary, LLC (“StartEngine Primary”) to act as its placement agent to assist in the placement of its securities. The company will pay a cash commission of 3.5 % to StartEngine Primary on sales of the Series A Preferred Stock as well as issue shares equal to 2.0% of the Series A Preferred Stock sold though StartEngine Primary in this Offering. The company will also pay a $15,000 advance fee for reasonable accountable out of pocket expenses actually anticipated to be incurred by StartEngine. Any unused portion of this fee not actually incurred by StartEngine will be returned to the Company. FINRA fees will be paid by the Company. See “Plan of Distribution and Selling Security Holders” for details regarding the compensation payable to third-parties in connection with this offering.

 

In each case StartEngine Primary will charge investors a fee of 3.5%, in which case the commission set forth above shall be reduced commensurately. In the event an investor invests in excess of $20,000, such investor fee shall be limited to $700 and Company shall pay the 3.5% additional commission with respect to any amount in excess of $20,000.

 

Per Section 1(b) of the subscription agreement, investors acknowledge that the processing fee paid to StartEngine is included in the investor’s individual investment limits in an offering under Tier 2 of Regulation A.

 

The fee shall be paid in cash upon disbursement of funds from escrow at the time of each closing. Payment will be made to StartEngine directly from the escrow account maintained for the Offering. The Company acknowledges that StartEngine is responsible for providing instructions to the escrow agent for distribution of funds held pending completion or termination of the Offering.

 

**Future Labs V, Inc. (the “Company”) expects that the amount of expenses of the offering that it will pay will be approximately $40,000, not including commissions or state filing fees.

 

The Company is selling shares of Series A Preferred Stock.

 

*** The company previously engaged SI Securities, LLC to serve as its placement agent to assist in the placement of its securities in this offering. During the time of the engagement with SI Securities, LLC, the company received gross investment of approximately $3,714,923 in exchange for the issuance of 640,504 shares in this offering. The company has since engaged StartEngine Primary, LLC. As its placement agent to assist in the placement of its securities. As such, the company has already met its minimum in this offering. See “Plan of Distribution and Selling Security Holders” on page 32 for details of compensation and transaction fees to be paid to the placement agent.

 

The company previously engaged The Bryn Mawr Trust Company of Delaware as an escrow agent to hold funds tendered by investors during the course of the engagement with SI Securities, LLC. The company has currently engaged Prime Trust LLC (the “Escrow Agent”) to hold funds tended by investors through StartEngine. As the company has already reached its minimum in this offering, we may hold a series of closings at which we receive the funds from the Escrow Agent and issue the shares to investors. The offering will terminate at the earlier of: (1) the date at which the maximum offering amount has been sold, (2) February 2, 2022, which is the date which is one year from this offering being re-qualified by the Commission, or (3) the date at which the offering is earlier terminated by the company in its sole discretion. The company may undertake one or more closings on a rolling basis once the minimum offering amount is sold. After each closing, funds tendered by investors will be available to the company. The offering is being conducted on a best-efforts basis.

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.

Graze Company Overview

 

Graze is building an electric, fully-autonomous lawn mower for the commercial landscaping industry. The industry is suffering from increasingly tight margins due competition and significant labor shortage which accentuate the need for autonomous solutions. Our team has partnered with one of the nation’s largest commercial landscaping companies, Mainscape, to solve this core problem for the industry.

 

Mainscape is not only our first potential customer, but they also provide invaluable advisory assistance by being active participants in our research and development. The companies’ collective experience in the industry provides valuable insights, which will bring speed and efficiency to the product’s development timeline. By partnering with customers from day one, we are able to benefit from constant feedback from the end users of our product which should result in faster speed to market and potentially a lower cost of development.

 

Among the key insights provided by our research and through discussions with industry participants, we’ve found that labor costs represent a majority of mowing expenses, especially when including overtime. Being able to eliminate 50-75% of labor costs through driverless machines, along with decreasing fuel and maintenance expenditures with electric power, should allow customers to jump from ~10% margins to 40-50% margins on their mowing segment.

 

4

 

 

While Graze began with a focus on research and development, we are now positioning the Company for commercialization of the product. With that in mind, in June 2019 we appointed John Vlay, a seasoned executive in the landscaping industry, to the position of CEO. John has spent over 35 years learning every facet of the landscaping business and industry, which includes his 11 years as the CEO of Jensen Landscape. He’s an anomaly in an arguably antiquated landscaping world, being well versed in the Internet of Things (IoT), automation, streamlined processes, etc. We expect his industry expertise and expansive network to help drive the Company’s success.

 

Our engineering team is comprised of a number of experienced roboticists, electrical engineers, mechanical engineers, and systems engineers that work for Wavemaker Labs and work for Graze on a contract basis. This team works directly with John Vlay and our corporate partners in order to progress development of our various prototypes and work towards a minimum viable product that is ready for mass production.

 

In summary, this product is being built for the industry, by the industry. Not only should our customers benefit reduced labor requirements, but they should also experience significantly increased operating margins.

 

Our Product

 

Our product will go to market as an autonomous, electric lawnmower with a 48” cutting deck. It is built specifically for the commercial landscaping industry. As a fully autonomous vehicle, the Graze mower will be able to mow panels of grass with consistent, parallel lines. Without human control, it will avoid obstacles including but not limited to sidewalks, trees, and debris. Arguably, the most important feature of the first iteration of the Graze mower is safety. We are evaluating a robust package of sensors including LIDAR, computer vision, bumpers, and emergency power-off buttons that will keep humans and animals out of harm’s way. Additionally, we will be analyzing large data pools (e.g. weather patterns) to advance the machine learning algorithms in order to optimize for desired mowing paths, frequency of visits, and job route planning.

 

We plan to offer multiple cutting deck sizes in our product line. A 48” cutting deck is the most used size in commercial landscaping; however, additional mowing deck sizes are required for differing job sites. A typical landscaping team on one job site has 2-3 different size mowers along with other devices e.g. edger, trimmer, blower, etc. We plan to produce a Graze mower with a larger 60-72” deck for larger panels of grass and a smaller 24-36” cutting deck that can service the harder to reach places such as a narrow patch of grass between bushes and sidewalks.

Additional mower features planned in the long-term include robotic attachments for edging, weeding and precision spraying, and a charging base that also sharpens the blades underneath the mower during transport from job site to job site.

 

B2B sales expansion

 

We believe that because this product brings so much value to commercial landscaping companies, it should fundamentally change the way landscaping businesses operate. Not only do we believe it will increase margins and profitability in the mowing segment via labor and fuel savings, but it will also eliminate one of the largest pain points in the industry — hiring and retaining good workers. With Graze, landscaping companies can focus on expanding their market share and increasing their margins instead of retaining talent. At the moment, companies in this industry operate their lawn mowing service at relatively low margins, and incorporate higher margin services eg. edging, pruning, irrigation, fertilization, etc. to boost their overall profit margins.

 

Our corporate partner, Mainscape has a combined fleet of hundreds of lawn mowers, a number that is expected to grow every year. Our conditional Letter of Intent with our partner details the potential purchase of 200 Graze lawn mowers. If we are able to produce an effective product, it’s not hard to imagine that this company would eventually replace its entire nationwide fleets with our electric, driverless mowers.

 

The top 100 commercial landscaping companies in the US generate more than $6.5bn in revenue per year. With our product, we believe they can increase productivity, decrease costs, and focus on growing their market share and more profitable services.

 

Arguably the biggest challenge to acquiring customers for any new company is the lack of previous customers. Committing to be the first customer of a new product is a difficult, and potentially risky, decision for an incumbent in any industry. Put simply, nobody wants to be the first to the party. In this instance, with partnership commitments from two industry leaders, Graze is well positioned to leverage those relationships into substantial and profitable relationships with the top 100 companies in the industry as well as the numerous small and medium-sized landscaping companies that make up the majority of our addressable market.

 

Selected Risks Associated With The Business

 

Our business is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including those highlighted in the section titled “Risk Factors” immediately following this summary. These risks include, but are not limited to, the following:

 

We have a limited operating history upon which to evaluate our performance, and have not yet generated profits or revenue.
Our technology is not yet fully developed, and there is no guarantee that we will be able to develop and produce a fully working prototype of our core product.
We will be required to raise additional capital in order to develop our technology and prototype.

 

6

 

 

Our company does not yet hold any patents on any products or technology.
We rely on a small management team to execute our business plan.
Our future revenue plans partially rely on a non-binding letter of intent.
We could be adversely affected by product liability, personal injury or other health and safety issues.
Competitive technologies could limit our ability to successfully deploy our technologies.
We plan to initially rely on third-party manufacturers.
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.

There is no current market for any shares of the Company’s stock.

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.

 

Our technology is not yet fully developed, and there is no guarantee that we will be able to develop and produce a fully working prototype of our core product.

We are still developing our minimum viable product that will go into mass production. We still have significant engineering and development work to do before we are ready to deliver a working version of our product to our corporate partners. We may be unable to convert our prototype to a minimum viable product that can easily be replicated and put into mass production. Additionally, we may not be able to make a transition to mass production, either via in house manufacturing or contract manufacturers.

 

We will be required to raise additional capital in order to develop our technology and prototype.

We will not be able to deliver a working version of our product to our corporate partners if we cannot raise debt or equity financing.

 

Our company does not yet hold any patents on any products or technology.

We do not yet hold any patents on our product, and so cannot guarantee that our product or technology is proprietary nor that it may be copied by another competitor. Because of this, our technology is not currently proprietary and could be easily copied by other companies.

 

We rely on a small management team to execute our business plan.

Our management team is currently small and made up of only one individual, John Vlay, whom we rely on to help us raise funds and help grow our business. Our partnerships and our relationships with commercial landscaping companies is crucial for us to achieve our growth plan. As CEO, John Vlay brings a great deal of experience in this space, and without him, we would struggle to build relationships with commercial landscaping companies.  

 

Our future revenue plans rely on a non-binding letter of intent.

Our corporate partner has signed a non-binding letter of intent and the orders they plan to place are not guaranteed, nor have they placed any deposits for these orders. Without this letter of intent, we would have no interest from prospective customers, which may affect our revenue and growth projections.

 

We could be adversely affected by product liability, personal injury or other health and safety issues.

As with any commercial grade lawn mowing equipment, there are significant health and safety issues that could result from our product being used incorrectly in the market. This could subject our company to liability due to personal safety or property damage issues.

 

8

 

 

Competitive technologies could limit our ability to successfully deploy our technologies.

We are a new entrant into the commercial landscaping market that is already full of a number of incumbents that have more financing and more operating history than we do. Our success is based on our ability to raise capital in order to achieve a minimum viable product and move into production. Other companies in the space have more resources than we currently do, and may not need to rely on outside investment in order to complete with us.

 

Many of our competitors have more resources and greater market recognition than we do.

Because we are a new entrant to the commercial landscaping market, there are already a number of companies who have more resources and greater market recognition than we do. Because of this, we may face issues developing a product and technology that can compete with other players in the market. Additionally, many of our competitors have greater brand recognition and an existing set of customers that they will be able to leverage when launching competing technologies. We will be at a disadvantage as we are a new entrant with significantly less resources and minimal market recognition and penetration.

 

We plan to initially rely on third-party manufacturers.

While we plan to eventually do all production in house, initially we will be leveraging contract manufacturers as we build up scale. Because of this, we will have less control of our supply chain as we grow the business, which could affect our ability to meet customer demand. Additionally, we do not currently have any manufacturers in place, and will need to work to find these relationships before we can begin mass production.

 

The hardware skeleton used by the Company is acquired from third parties.

Much like other companies focused on applications of artificial intelligence, we are principally a software company. As such, we have acquired hardware and the mower decks we will use from third-party manufacturers. We then recondition those decks into our autonomous mowers. While our sources for the mower decks understand this arrangement, it is always possible they may misunderstand what we are doing and erroneously believe we are merely reselling their products.

 

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.

 

Risks Related to the Securities in this Offering 

 

There is no current market for any shares of the Company’s stock.

There is no formal marketplace for the resale of the Preferred stock or any of the Company’s Common Stock. Shares of Series A Preferred Stock may be traded on the over-the-counter market to the extent any demand exists. Investors should assume that they may not be able to liquidate their investment for some time, or be able to pledge their shares as collateral.

 

Under the terms of our Certificate of Incorporation, investors may not be able to cast a vote when called for after a period of time has elapsed.

The Series A Preferred Stock in this offering will have the right to vote when matters are submitted to the stockholders for a vote. Under the terms of our Certificate of Incorporation, when a vote is requested, notice will be provided to each stockholder eligible to vote. If the investor fails to vote within fourteen calendar days of the issuance of the notice, the Board of Directors may cast that investor’s vote in line with the majority of other votes of the Series A Preferred Stock. As a result, an investor who does not act within the prescribed period of time, may have his or her vote cast in opposition to his or her preference.

 

Your rights as a holder of Series A Preferred Stock may be limited by the number of shares held by entities controlled Wavemaker Partners.

The Company has issued convertible notes in August 2019 to two entities controlled by Wavemaker Partners, which will convert at a $8mm valuation cap into 244,072 shares of Series A Preferred Stock as a result of this offering raising $3,300,000 in gross proceeds. If we raise $3,300,000 in this offering, Wavemaker will control 30% of Series A Preferred Stock and if we raise the maximum amount, Wavemaker will control 12% of the Series A Preferred Stock. The Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to certain protective provisions, as described in herein under “Securities Being Offered - Series A Preferred Stock - Voting Rights” and the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation. Any vote in regards to the approval or disapproval of those items listed under the protective provisions would be either controlled by or substantially influenced by Wavemaker Partners, potentially against the interests of the rest of the Series A Preferred Stock holders. In addition, Wavemaker Partners could substantially influence any vote required by a majority of Series A Preferred Stock to cause all shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be converted into shares of Common Stock.

 

Our Certificate of Incorporation include automatic conversion provisions covering the stock issued to our Founders.

Under the terms of our Certificate of Incorporation our Class F Stock will convert into a class of preferred stock subject to the availability of a securities law exemption for the conversion. See “Securities Being Offered” for more information on these conversion terms. These conversion terms may incentivize certain purchasers to purchase shares directly from our founders, or encourage our founders to provide advantageous terms to future investors, terms at which our founders will be able to participate in a limited capacity as well. As such, there may be instances where conflicts could arise between the interests of our holders of Class F Stock and the interests of investors in this offering.

 

The Company is converting all outstanding shares of Common Stock into Class F Stock as of October 2019

As of October 2019, all outstanding shares of Common Stock have been converted into Class F Stock. This includes all Common Stock held by our Founders. Upon the initial closing of this Offering, 25% of the outstanding Class F Stock shall automatically convert into a shadow series (Series A-1 Preferred Stock) of the Series A Preferred Stock on a 1:1 basis, as described further below under “Securities Being Offered” and the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation. All remaining Class F Stock will be convertible into the most senior class of preferred stock (including preferred stock issued through future financings) upon the completion of a secondary sale. Class F Stock that converts into preferred stock on a secondary sale will have the same liquidation preference and voting rights as the class of preferred into which it converts.

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

 

Investors in this offering may not be entitled to a jury trial with respect to claims arising under the subscription agreement, which could result in less favorable outcomes to the plaintiff(s) in any action under the agreement. 

Investors in this offering will be bound by the subscription agreement, which includes a provision under which investors waive the right to a jury trial of any claim they may have against the Company arising out of or relating to the agreement, including any claims made under the federal securities laws. By signing the agreement, the investor warrants that the investor has reviewed this waiver with his or her legal counsel, and knowingly and voluntarily waives the investor’s jury trial rights following consultation with the investor’s legal counsel. 

 

If we opposed a jury trial demand based on the waiver, a court would determine whether the waiver was enforceable based on the facts and circumstances of that case in accordance with the applicable state and federal law. To our knowledge, the enforceability of a contractual pre-dispute jury trial waiver in connection with claims arising under the federal securities laws has not been finally adjudicated by a federal court. However, we believe that a contractual pre-dispute jury trial waiver provision is generally enforceable, including under the laws of the State of Delaware, which governs the agreement, by a federal or state court in the State of California. In determining whether to enforce a contractual pre-dispute jury trial waiver provision, courts will generally consider whether the visibility of the jury trial waiver provision within the agreement is sufficiently prominent such that a party knowingly, intelligently and voluntarily waived the right to a jury trial. We believe that this is the case with respect to the subscription agreement. You should consult legal counsel regarding the jury waiver provision before entering into the subscription agreement.

 

If you bring a claim against the Company in connection with matters arising under the agreement, including claims under the federal securities laws, you may not be entitled to a jury trial with respect to those claims, which may have the effect of limiting and discouraging lawsuits against the Company. If a lawsuit is brought against the Company under the agreement, it may be heard only by a judge or justice of the applicable trial court, which would be conducted according to different civil procedures and may result in different outcomes than a trial by jury would have had, including results that could be less favorable to the plaintiff(s) in such an action. 

 

Nevertheless, if the jury trial waiver provision is not permitted by applicable law, an action could proceed under the terms the agreement with a jury trial. No condition, stipulation or provision of the subscription agreement serves as a waiver by any holder of the Company’s securities or by the Company of compliance with any substantive provision of the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations promulgated under those laws. 

 

In addition, when the shares are transferred, the transferee is required to agree to all the same conditions, obligations and restrictions applicable to the shares or to the transferor with regard to ownership of the shares, that were in effect immediately prior to the transfer of the shares, including but not limited to the subscription agreement.

 

We are and may continue to be significantly impacted by the worldwide economic downturn due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus, or COVID-19, was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China. COVID-19 has spread to many countries, including the United States, and was declared to be a pandemic by the World Health Organization. Efforts to contain the spread of COVID-19 have intensified and the U.S., Europe and Asia have implemented severe travel restrictions and social distancing. The impacts of the outbreak are unknown and rapidly evolving. A widespread health crisis has adversely affected and could continue to affect the global economy, resulting in an economic downturn that could negatively impact the value of the Company’s shares and investor demand for shares generally.

 

The continued spread of COVID-19 has also led to severe disruption and volatility in the global capital markets, which could increase our cost of capital and adversely affect our ability to access the capital markets in the future. It is possible that the continued spread of COVID-19 could cause a further economic slowdown or recession or cause other unpredictable events, each of which could adversely affect our business, results of operations or financial condition.

 

The extent to which COVID-19 affects our financial results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the COVID-19 outbreak and the actions to contain the outbreak or treat its impact, among others. Moreover, the COVID-19 outbreak has had and may continue to have indeterminable adverse effects on general commercial activity and the world economy, and our business and results of operations could be adversely affected to the extent that COVID-19 or any other pandemic harms the global economy generally.

 

Specifically, COVID -19 may impact the production and distribution of Future Labs V. If we are unable to produce our products due to manufacturing strains, we may not be able to distribute our product quickly and scale our business. This impact would mean we’d need to raise additional capital in order to meet our revenue targets.

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 $5.80 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.

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.

 

12

 

 

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 $10,000,000, the net proceeds of this offering would be approximately $9,464,267.64 after subtracting estimated offering costs of $534,882.36 in commissions payable to our broker-dealer (this includes the 7% commission of $314,904.67 that has already been paid to SI Securities, LLC), and $40,000 in audit, legal, and filings fees. If Graze 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 $5,000,000, representing 50% of the maximum offering amount, the net proceeds would be approximately $4,600,117.64 after subtracting estimated offering costs of $359,882.36 to payable to our broker dealer, in commissions and $40,000 in audit, legal, and filings fees (these fees include the 7% commission of $314,904.67 that has already been paid to SI Securities, LLC). In such an event, Graze 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 its mower.

 

13

 

 

Assuming a raise of the minimum of $1,000,000, representing 10% of the maximum offering amount, net proceeds would be approximately $875,000 after subtracting estimated offering costs of $85,000 payable to our broker-dealer in commissions and $40,000 in audit, legal, and filings fees. In such an event, Graze would hire three to four engineers and be able to complete a minimum viable product, which would allow it to start production and deliver product on first letter of intent.

 

The Company does not intend to use any proceeds from this offering to pay back any outstanding promissory notes.

(1) A commission of $314,904.67 has already been paid to SI Securities, LLC based on their 7% commission for the $3,714,923.22 already raised. The Company is continuing this offering on StartEngine Primary, which has a 3.5% fee. The amount reflects the combination of these 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. As of , December 3, 2020 we have raised $3,714,923.22 in this offering.

 

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

Graze was incorporated on December 4, 2017 when the team saw the need for a robotic lawnmower solution for the commercial landscaping industry that is still being overlooked. To date, the only robotic lawnmower solutions on the market are small, semi-autonomous mowers for small residential-sized lawns. Small, residential options are not suitable for commercial applications due to their reliance on above or below ground wires and/or beacons for the machine to move around safely. Put simply, the dynamic nature and unit economics of commercial job sites do not allow for small robotic solutions that require a planned infrastructure for navigation. In other words, commercial job site requirements preclude the use of a small mower that “bounces” back and forth in multiple directions inside of a virtual fenced-in lawn; instead, Graze customers require consistent, parallel lines mowed that promote the health of the lawn and desirable aesthetics.

 

Graze validated the problem, solution, and market fit when one of the largest commercial landscaping companies in the US signed a conditional Letter of Intent “LOI” (See Exhibit 6.2 for the LOI) and began working closely with the team on the development of the product. This LOI outline interest in purchasing 200 units, for $30,000 each plus a monthly recurring SaaS (Software as a Service) fee of $1,000 per unit. Assuming five years of usable life per mower, this LOI represents up to $18,000,000 in potential revenue. In addition to being the first customer for Graze, Mainscape has pledged to help Graze build the right product for their needs. This allows us to take the product to market with fewer iterations and a clear focus on the needs of the customer. The Company had obtained a second Letter of Intent from another landscaping company in 2018; the LOI expired at the end of 2019, and both parties decided to not extend it.

 

14

 

 

Investors should note that this LOI only represents potential revenue for the Company. Mainscape is under no obligation to purchase any products and we may never generate any revenue based on this LOI.

 

The CEO, John Vlay has over 35 years of experience in the land maintenance industry coupled with a penchant for technological advancements such as automation.   John oversees the strategic direction of the product development team, which is comprised of a number of mechanical, electrical, and systems engineers from Wavemaker Labs. With John Vlay leading the way, the Graze team has already built a working prototype to test and evaluate sensor packages for building a fully autonomous lawn mower. At the moment, the focus of these sensor packages is safety and navigation. The team has recently begun working to merge software and hardware together for the purpose of testing the prototype in the field.

 

Product Overview

 

Graze is building an electric, fully autonomous commercial lawn mower for the commercial landscaping industry. In order to make the product safe and fully autonomous, the team is evaluating and testing sensors packages that include radar, lidar, ultrasonic sensors, computer vision, GPS, and odometry sensors. When combined, these sensors will allow our product to operate safely, mow consistently straight lines, plan paths, avoid obstacles, and collect data. The Graze mower will be electric, safe, and extremely smart:

 

Electric: Existing commercial landscaping companies operate gasoline-powered motors that are environmentally unfriendly. By contrast, Graze’s electric mower uses swappable batteries which have a much lower environmental impact as compared to gas. In fact, according to the California EPA, one gas mower emits the equivalent emissions as 40 cars on the road on an hourly basis.

 

Electric lawn mowers are not only better from an emissions standpoint but they also require less support and maintenance. No internal combustion engine means: no spark plugs to clean or change; no engine oil or filters to change; and, no hydraulics, no belts, no pulleys, no clutches and no air filters to manage. A 100% electric mower means Graze customers should simply have to sharpen blades and grease wheels to maintain a working fleet.

 

Graze mowers will be deployed to work sites via a trailer, which will be used for transportation and storage. Eventually, these trailers will be outfitted with solar panels to assist in charging the mowers’ batteries. As a result, we expect Graze mowers to be able to operate 24/7, day and night. The absence of a combustion engine will also reduce noise pollution.

 

15

 

 

With Graze electric, driverless machines, future customers will enjoy lower operational costs, a reduced carbon footprint, and ability to operate 24/7 quietly and seamless in densely populated environments. Finally, the Graze mowers mulch grass, returning clippings back into the soil, which leads to conservation of soil moisture, improved fertility and health of the soil, reduced weed growth, and enhanced visual appeal of the area.

 

Safe: There are hundreds of accidents per year in the commercial landscaping industry and unsafe mowing situations can result in bodily harm or worse. With built in sensors and computer vision, our mower will potentially be the safest on the market. Our engineers are currently evaluating all safety options for this product. We are building in emergency cut-off buttons located on the product and on remote control devices held by the crew’s manager and also have smart sensors built in. For example, by utilizing LIDAR and computer vision the mower will know if a human or animal comes within 5 feet of the mower so that it can immediately pause and turn off its blades. Additionally, we believe the most effective tools for safety are the ones that are intuitive - for good measure, we are working on adding an audio command emergency cut-off switch, so that a nearby human can turn off the product with minimal effort.

 

Smart: Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning are often misapplied terms. Not in this case. Graze software will capture immense and continuous data that will be stored, sorted, and fed back into our machine vision algorithms to ensure improved precision, efficiency, and safety. We’ll be able to track and plan around weather data, detect and defend against turf and plant diseases, plan and optimize cutting routes, and provide data and analytics to the landscaping industry.

 

Market

 

Landscaping services in the United States alone is a $98.7 billion industry with a trailing 5-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5%. Data from market research firm Stratistics Market Research Consulting suggests the global landscaping and gardening market is poised to grow at a CAGR of 7% through at least 2024, indicating the industry could grow to $140 billion domestically at that time. With a fairly even split in the industry between the commercial and residential segments, commercial landscaping, Graze’s target industry, has the opportunity to reach $70 billion. This is good news for Graze: as the commercial landscaping services industry grows, so does its core offering of lawn mowing.

 

Lawn mowing is a core component of almost all commercial landscaping businesses. Survey data shows that as much as 46% of gross revenue is derived from mowing services, making commercial lawn mowing a $23 billion per year industry with the opportunity to grow to $32 billion in the United States in 2024.

 

As the demand for mowing services increases, so too will the demand from those service providers for mowing equipment. Over the past five years the commercial lawn mower market has experienced steady growth and that trajectory is expected to continue.  Today, the global commercial lawn mower market exceeds $5 billion, with 40% of demand ($2.1 billion) coming from the US market. These markets are expected to grow at a 5% CAGR approaching $7 billion and $3 billion, respectively, by 2024. More bullish projections suggest, due in large part to factors mentioned below, the domestic commercial lawn mower market could surpass $4 billion by 2024.

The majority of these markets, both residential and commercial, are concentrated across a few major players, including John Deere, Honda Motor Company, Husqvarna, the Toro Company, and Kubota. Commercial mowers are one of the fastest growing categories of garden equipment and are growing in popularity outside of the United States, especially as urban landscaping and backyard beautification becomes more on trend.

 

Most of the growth in this market can be attributed to the following:

 

·Nature-scaping: The consumer demand for housing allows people and nature to coexist with landscaping. 
·Demand for greenery in urban settings: The development of sustainable cities, which include introducing more greenery among traditionally urban settings, has increased the demand for mowers that are smaller, easier to operate, and quieter.
·Developing markets: growing demand from developing countries, particularly from governmental agencies in Asia Pacific, where the desire to be more sustainable has increased over the past few years.
·Growing do-it-for-me (DIFM) market: increasing income levels and an aging population have resulted in the DIFM market outpacing the do-it-yourself (DIY) market, increasing the demand for professional landscaping and mowing services.

 

The combination of increased demand for commercial landscaping and increasing emissions regulations on non-road vehicles (to include commercial lawn mowers) has led to an increased focus on developing more sustainable mowers. This includes producing equipment that is more efficient, less pollutive, and easier to operate, thereby reducing both operational cost and environmental impact. Many of the companies listed above have joined the electric revolution but have been focused on the residential market. Research suggests that commercial users will be quick to adopt new electric technology once products in the market have proven to be able to match the performance of gas-powered mowers while cutting operating costs.

 

By partnering with industry leaders to ensure it meets performance and cost-cutting requirements, Graze is ready to take its cut of a commercial lawn mower market that is large, growing, and ripe for innovation. 

 

Design and Development

 

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

 

·             Hardware - We’re currently evaluating the chassis for the MVP. We’re doing a deep dive into both electric and combustible powered mowers to decide which product is best to build on top of.

·             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’re 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 Graze builds and fine tunes its internal production lines to service long-term demand. Ultimately, all Graze products will be produced internally 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. This will allow Graze 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 Graze to focus on automation and quality programs without restricting production volumes. Internal production will increase and in time be the sole source of Graze products.

 

Sales & Marketing

 

We believe our mower will resonate with existing commercial landscaping companies because of how it streamlines a number of operational complexities with existing commercial grade mowers, such as labor, retention, training, and safety. Mowing has largely become a commodity where jobs are often awarded based on price only. In fact, landscaping companies often underbid their mowing services and depend on winning the higher margin jobs such as pruning, hedging and pre-fertigation. Instead of a typical 5-10% margin on mowing, we believe our product can increase the margins of commercial lawn mowing to upwards of 40-50%. Furthermore, without the need for additional laborers, these companies 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 landscaping companies will follow suit.

Competition

 

We face competition from large, well-known companies in the lawn mowing industry such as John Deere, Husqvarna, Honda, etc. who could potentially enter this market. Currently we have only seen these companies working towards smaller, residential mowers that are not fully autonomous. For example, John Deere’s Tango E5 mower is a small, electric, semi-autonomous device that uses ground wires to help guide the product around a residential lawn. From what we have seen, none of these competitors are fully autonomous and none of them are creating a product for the commercial landscaping industry.

 

Unlike the aforementioned companies producing gas-powered mowers, a small group of industry entrants are producing electric, human-operated mowers. Widely known as the best in this sub-category is Mean Green. These small players have struggled to establish a foothold as switching costs are not offset by fuel savings alone. As a result, none have experienced mass adoption of their products. Graze, however, will be the first of its kind in commercial mowing – a fully electric, fully autonomous commercial lawn mower. As such, Graze will be able to hurdle switching costs obstacles and gain mass adoption, as evidenced by its $18m in potential revenue via a conditional Letter of Intent from Mainscape.

 

Second, there are a small group of companies producing or working on self-driving applications for lawn mowing. This category can further be divided into residential and commercial products; and, residential applications are way ahead of commercial solutions in the market. The biggest players in this residential subset are iRobot, Husqvarna, and John Deere, each of whom is producing only small, semi-autonomous products that require ground wires to navigate within virtual fences. Without the ability to navigate large panels of grass without human-installed infrastructure, these solutions are not and will not be viable for the commercial landscaping industry. There is no evidence to suggest any of these companies are working on commercial applications of these products.

 

Customers

 

Mainscape - Mainscape ranks #14 on Lawn and Landscape’s list of the top 100 commercial landscaping companies in the US based on their commercial revenue. In 2018, they generated more than $75mm in revenue as shown in that same Lawn and Landscape list. Mainscape has signed an LOI, which will potentially lead to an order of 200 units at a price of $30,000 each and $1,000 per month per machine.

 

Mainscape will help our company in two distinct ways.

  (1) We have a built in customer that will amount to an expected ~$18mm in revenue, assuming each unit has a lifespan of 5 years. This is important because it validated our problem and solution before we spent any money creating the product. It also creates a path to more customers because our built-in customer is highly respected in the industry and ranks very highly in terms of commercial revenue. This LOI does not require that any purchases be made, and we may never experience any revenues as a result of the LOI.

 

  (2) Mainscape, as a corporate partner, has agreed to help us with R&D as we take this product to market. This sets us ahead of competitors because it reduces roadblocks during product development and allows us to create a great minimum viable product with greater efficiency. During the design phase of our product we flew out to the HQ our corporate partner to have a design workshop. utives. These multi-day workshop allowed us to dig deep into the dynamics of a commercial lawn maintenance company. We were able to learn about all of the problems facing their industry and potential ways that we could solve those problems.

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, 2018 and 2019

 

Through fiscal years ended December 31, 2018 and 2019, the company was still in an early stage of development and had not yet generated revenue. Nevertheless, the company did sign Letters of Intent (LOIs) with two large commercial landscaping companies. As per the LOI, Mainscape and another large landscaping company agreed to potentially purchase 400 Graze units collectively, which represented a $36,000,000 revenue opportunity for Graze over 5 years. There is no obligation for either party to meet the terms of the contract. The LOI for the second landscaping company expired at the end of 2019, and both parties decided to not extend it.

 

On the expense side, in the fiscal year Jan 1, 2018 - Dec 31, 2018 our costs consisted wholly of general & administrative costs, which totaled $17,287. In the fiscal year Jan 1, 2019 - Dec 31, 2019 we incurred significantly greater costs, with the primary drivers being research and development expenses of $582,082, sales & marketing expenses of $45,144, and general & administrative expenses of $186,089. The total operating expenses for the fiscal year 2019 were $813,315.

  

Since the end of the period covered by our audited financial statements, we expect to have increases in our legal and professional, research and development, marketing, and administrative expenses. Labor costs from full time and part time employees will also increase as we begin to ramp up prototype development efforts.

 

20

 

 

Operating Results – Fiscal Periods Ended June 30, 2019 and 2020

 

Through fiscal years ended June 30, 2020, the company continued early stage of development and had not yet generated revenue. Nevertheless, the company did sign an additional Letter of Intent (LOI) with a golf course / country club in California. As per the LOIs Mainscape and the golf course have collectively agreed to potentially purchase 210 Graze units, which represents a $19,020,000 revenue opportunity for Graze over 6 years. There is no obligation from either party or the Company to meet the terms of the non-binding contracts. In the six months ended June 30, 2020, we increased our expenses to $1,103,325. This period reflects increased expenses in our legal and professional, research and development, marketing, and administrative expenses. Labor costs from full time and part time employees has also increased as we began to ramp up prototype development efforts.

 

Since the end of the period covered by our audited financial statements, we expect similar monthly expenses aside from an increase in labor costs from additional full time and part time employees. The team will continue to grow as we push development of our product into production ready capabilities.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources – Fiscal Years Ended December 31, 2018 and 2019 

As of December 31, 2018, the company’s Cash and Cash Equivalents balance was $46,250. In June 2018, the company loaned $250,000 to Wavemaker Partners V, LP at a 6% compounded interest rate. This loan has been extended and is due to be repaid in 2020.

In December 2019, the Company received qualification to begin the sale of its Series A Preferred Stock via a Regulation A+ offering.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources – Fiscal Periods Ended June 30, 2019 and 2020

As of June 30th, 2020, the company’s Cash and Cash Equivalents balance was $1,107. As of June 30th, 2020 we have not yet closed capital from our Series A fundraising efforts. However, as of the date of this report, the Company has issued 900,295 shares of Series A Preferred Stock for gross proceeds of $4,351,319.02.

 

The Company has a number of loans receivable from related parties that were issued in 2018-2020, and still remain outstanding as of June 30, 2020. These all bear interest at 3% per annum and have a total principal outstanding balance of $411,753, which the exception of a $250,000 loan the company made to Wavemaker Partners V, LP at a 6% compounded interest rate. This loan is due to be repaid in 2020. Through June 30, 2020, the Company has recognized total interest income of $39,716 on these loans, all of which remains unpaid as of June 30, 2020. Additionally, in February 2019 the Company loaned an additional $30,000 to a related party under a promissory note, which was fully repaid in April 2019.

 

The Company has seven loans payable to related parties that were issued in 2019 and 2020 and still remain outstanding as of June 30, 2020. These all bear interest at 3% per annum and have a total principal outstanding balance of $442,727. In March 2019, the Company borrowed an additional $800 from a related party note. This amount was fully repaid in May 2019. The Company issued promissory notes of $27,200 and $14,400 from 2019 through June 30, 2020 in exchange for marketing expenses incurred by a related party on behalf of the Company. This amount is included in sales and marketing expense in the statements of operations.

Additionally, The Company previously paid $14,506.55 to CrowdCube Capital Ltd on gross receipts of $71,398. The company also raised $99,997.80 from Cadron Capital. This brings the total amount previously raised in this offering to $3,886,318.80.

 

As the Company enters 2021, this additional capital will be utilized in accordance with our Use of Proceeds. Any further capital that we intend to raise in this round is intended to further our company’s runway and increase our speed to market as we fine-tune our product for commercial landscaping companies.

 

The company is not generating revenue and requires the continued infusion of new capital to continue business operations. The company plans to continue to try to raise additional capital through crowdfunding offerings, equity issuances, or any other method available to the company.

Plan of Operations

We have not yet generated any revenues and we currently have a small team of full time and part time employees and consultants that have helped us build a working prototype. If we raise the minimum 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 it to start production and deliver product on first letter of intent. We are now testing our product in the field with our first customers and based on our projections we will be able to start production to deliver our first fully operational mowers in Q2/Q3 of 2021.

 

We believe the minimum offering amount of proceeds (which we have already met) will satisfy our cash requirements to implement our plan of operations. If we are able to raise more than the minimum amount, we will be able to speed up production and deliver units to our corporate partners faster than 12 months. Additionally, raising more than the minimum offering will allow us to hasten development of additional features of our mower, which could result in additional revenue from our customers. 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

Since launching in 2017, the company has historically maintained minimal expenses. In 2018, the Company obtained a letter of intent from Mainscape, which include a non-binding commitment to purchase 200 mowers at a purchase price of $30,000 per mower and $1,000 per month for the useful life of the mower. In 2020, the Company obtained a second customer in the form of a commercial agreement for 10 mowers at a purchase price of $30,000 per mower and $1,000 per month for the useful life of the mower. Neither party is obligated to meet the terms of this agreement.

 

In 2020, Graze attained a second customer, a golf course in California, which paved the way for the golf course industry. In a commercial agreement between the two companies, the golf course agreed to purchase 10 mowers at the same purchase price listed above. In addition to being our second customer, the golf course not only brings more potential revenue to the Company, but also opens up an entirely new market for their product: Golf Courses. In addition to their role as a buyer, the golf course customer will also provide valuable developmental insight to Graze on adapting the lawn mower’s capabilities to mow golf courses, which use a reel mower (specialized type of cutting mechanism) that cuts grass at a height of 0.125 inches. For comparison, 0.125 inches is roughly equivalent to the height of two quarters stacked on top of each other.

 

At the end of 2019, there were 38,864 public and private golf courses across the globe, with 16,752 of these being situated in the US. In the US, these golf courses spent $845.7k on average on land maintenance in 2019, with the expenditure expected to jump to $987.5k by the end of 2020. As such, the golf course land maintenance market in the US is estimated at $14.2 billion in 2019 and is expected to balloon to $16.5 billion by the end of 2020. Nevertheless, labor availability continues to be the greatest hindrance to growth in the golf course industry and Graze is attempting to solve the issues around accessing labor with a sophisticated, fully-electric, and fully-autonomous robotic solution.

 

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.

Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to a liquidation preference that is senior to holders of the Common Stock, and therefore would receive dividends and liquidation assets prior to the holders of the Common Stock.

 

Class F Stock

 

General

Our Class F Stock has been issued to founders of the Company. Under the terms of our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, we are authorized to issue up to 3,000,000 shares of our Class F Stock. As of October 2019, 3,000,000 shares have been issued. As provided by the Company’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, following the closing on an equity financing, 25% (or 750,000) shares of the Company’s Class F Stock will be converted into a new Series A-1 Preferred Stock Class that has similar rights as the Series A Preferred Stock.

 

Voting Rights

Liquidation Rights

In the event of a voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company, the holders of the Class F Stock are entitled to share ratably in the net assets legally available for distribution to shareholders after the payment of all debts and other liabilities of the Company. Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock and Series A-1 Preferred Stock are entitled to a liquidation preference that is senior to holders of the Class F Stock, and therefore would receive dividends and liquidation assets prior to the holders of the Class F Stock.

 

Conversion Rights

The Class F Stock is convertible into the Common Stock of the Company as provided by Article IV of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation under the following scenarios:

 

·Upon the written consent or agreement of the holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of Class F Stock;

·Certain transfers of the Class F Stock to new stockholders; and
·Upon the request of an individual holder of our Class F Stock.

 

30

 

 

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.

 

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 to interpret, apply, enforce or determine the validity of the Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws; or

 

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

 

31

 

 

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 specifically does not 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.

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.

 

Jury Trial Waiver 

The subscription agreement that investors will execute in connection with the offering provides that subscribers waive the right to a jury trial of any claim they may have against us arising out of or relating to the agreement, including any claim under federal securities laws.  By signing the subscription agreement an investor will warrant that the investor has reviewed this waiver with the investor’s legal counsel, and knowingly and voluntarily waives his or her jury trial rights following consultation with the investor’s legal counsel. If we opposed a jury trial demand based on the waiver, a court would determine whether the waiver was enforceable given the facts and circumstances of that case in accordance with applicable case law. In addition, by agreeing to the provision, subscribers will not be deemed to have waived the Company’s compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Future Labs V, Inc. as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, 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.

 

Emphasis of Matter Regarding 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 $806,281 and $9,602 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and has incurred negative cash flows from operations for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $815,883 and limited liquid assets with $64,073 of cash held. 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.

FUTURE LABS V, INC.

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS

 

Future Labs V, Inc. (the “Company”), doing business as Graze, is a corporation formed on December 4, 2017 under the laws of Delaware. The Company was formed to sell commercial robotic lawnmowers. The Company is headquartered in Santa Monica, California.

 

As of December 31, 2019, the Company has not commenced planned principal operations nor generated revenue. The Company’s activities since inception have consisted of formation activities 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 $806,281 and $9,602 for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and has incurred negative cash flows from operations for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $815,883 and limited liquid assets with $64,073 of cash. These factors 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.

 

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, 2019 and 2018, all of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents were held at one accredited financial institution.

 

F-8

 

 

FUTURE LABS V, INC.

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

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. Advertising and promotional expense for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 amounted to approximately $45,000 and $0, respectively, which is included in sales and marketing expense.

 

Research and Development Costs

 

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

 

Accrued Expenses

 

As of December 31, 2019, the Company had $65,000 in material costs not yet invoiced. This amount is included in research and development expenses in the statements of operations.

 

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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

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.

 

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. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company had capitalized deferred offering costs of $115,479 and $0, respectively.

 

F-10

 

  

FUTURE LABS V, INC.

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

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, 2019 and 2018, 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, 2019 and 2018 are as follows: 

         
   Year Ended 
   December 31, 
   2019   2018 
Convertible promissory note, related party*   209,105    - 
Options to purchase common stock   362,637    - 
Warrants   173,511    - 
Total potentially dilutive shares   745,253    - 

 

*Convertible notes’ potential shares are calculated based on principal and accrued interest, the valuation cap and the Company’s fully diluted capitalization as of December 31, 2019. See Note 6 for more information.

 

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, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has is currently evaluating the impact on its financial statements.

 

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2018-07”). ASU 2018-07 eliminates the separate accounting model for nonemployee share-based payment awards and generally requires companies to account for share-based payment transactions with nonemployees in the same way as share-based payment transactions with employees. The accounting remains different for attribution, which represents how the equity-based payment cost is recognized over the vesting period, and a contractual term election for valuing nonemployee equity share options. ASU 2018-07 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018 with early adoption permitted. The Company has adopted this standard effective January 1, 2019.

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) and has issued subsequent amendments to this guidance. This new standard will replace all current guidance on this topic and eliminate all industry-specific guidance. The new revenue recognition standard provides a unified model to determine when and how revenue is recognized. The core principle is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration for which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 31, 2018. The standard may be applied either retrospectively to each period presented or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. The Company has adopted this standard effective January 1, 2019.

6. CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE, RELATED PARTY

 

In August 2019, the Company issued two convertible promissory notes (the “Notes”) to two related parties, Wavemaker Partners V, LP and Wavemaker Global Select, LLC, for an aggregate principal amount of $465,000. The Notes are subject to automatic conversion upon a qualified preferred stock financing in excess of $3,300,000. 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). In the event that a financing that is not a qualified financing occurs prior to the notes’ respective maturity dates or earlier conversion of the Notes, the noteholders have the option to convert the Notes into shares of the Company’s common stock by dividing the outstanding principal and unpaid interest by a conversion price equal to the lesser of i) 80% of the price paid per share for such shares or ii) $8,000,000 divided by the dilutive common shares outstanding. If the Notes remain outstanding on or after the maturity date, the outstanding principal and accrued interest shall be convertible, at the noteholders’ option, into shares of a newly created class of Series Seed Preferred Stock at price equal to $8,000,000 divided by the dilutive common shares outstanding. 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 the lesser of i) 80% of the price paid per share in the sale of the Company or ii) a price equal to the quotient of $8,000,000 divided by the dilutive common shares outstanding.

 

The Notes have a 3-year term maturing in August 2022. The notes bear interest at 5% per annum. Interest expense and accrued interest payable on these notes was $8,068 as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019.

 

7. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

The Company is authorized to issue 5,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, of which 1,968,210 shares are designated as Series A Preferred Stock and 750,000 shares are designated as Series A-1 Preferred 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.

 

As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, there were no shares of Preferred Stock or Class F Stock issued or outstanding.

 

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

FUTURE LABS V, INC.

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Voting

 

The holders of Preferred and Class F 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 and Class F Stock could convert on the record date for determination of stockholders entitled to vote. The holders of Series A Preferred Stock and Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall vote together as a single class.

 

For so long as at least 25% of the initially issued shares of Series A Preferred remain issued and outstanding, (i) the holders of record of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock and Series A-1 Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class on an as-converted basis, shall be entitled to elect one director of the Company; 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, shall be entitled to elect two directors of the Company; and (iii) any additional directors shall be elected by the affirmative vote of a majority of the Series A Preferred, Class F Stock and Common Stock, voting together as a single class on an as-converted basis.

 

Dividends

 

The holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, Series A-1 Preferred 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 Company legally available therefor, such dividends as may be declared from time to time by the Board of Directors.

 

Liquidation

 

In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company or deemed liquidation event, the Series A stockholders shall be entitled to a liquidation preference equal to the greater of (i) the Series A Original Issue Price (defined below), plus any dividends declared but unpaid, or (ii) such amount per share as would have been payable had all shares of Series A Preferred Stock been converted into common stock. Upon this completion, the remaining assets available for distribution shall be distributed among Class F and common stockholders on a pro-rata basis (assuming conversion of Class F stock into common stock).

 

The Series A Original Issue Price is (i) $5.80 per share in the case of the Series A Preferred Stock and (ii) $0.50 per share in the case of the Series A-1 Preferred 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 A Preferred.

 

Redemption

 

No class of stock shall have any redemption rights.

 

Conversion

 

Each share of Class F Stock shall automatically be converted into one share of common stock immediately upon the date specified by written consent or agreement of the holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of Class F Stock. Each share of Class F Stock is convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time, and without the payment of additional consideration by the holder thereof, into an equal number of shares of common stock.

 

Upon each applicable equity financing, 25% of the shares of Class F Stock held by each holder of Class F Stock shall automatically convert into a Shadow Series of shares of the series of Preferred Stock of the Company that is issued in such equity financing. Shadow Series of equity financing preferred stock shall mean capital stock with identical rights, privileges, preferences, and restrictions as the equity financing preferred stock, except a 50% reduction in liquidation preference and exclusion from the stock’s voting rights. Any share of Class F Stock that is sold in connection with an equity financing shall automatically convert into shares of the equity financing preferred stock at the applicable Class F Conversion Ratio, which is the inverse of the ratio at which a share of equity financing preferred stock issued in such financing is convertible into shares of common stock.

 

Each share of Series A Preferred Stock 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 shares of common stock by dividing the Original Issue Price for the series of Series A Preferred by the Series A Conversion Price. The Series A Conversion price squall initially equally the Original Issue Price. In addition, each share of Preferred Stock will be automatically converted into shares of common stock at the applicable conversion ratio then in effect (i) upon the closing of a firm-commitment public offering or (ii) upon the written consent of the holders of a majority of the then-outstanding shares of Preferred Stock (excluding shadow series of Preferred Stock), voting together as a single class.

The Company has adopted the Future Labs V, Inc 2019 Stock Plan (“2019 Plan”), as amended and restated, which provides for the grant of shares of stock options and stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) and restricted common shares to employees, non-employee directors, and non-employee consultants. The number of shares authorized by the 2019 Plan was 362,637 shares as of December 31, 2019. The option exercise price generally may not be less than the underlying stock’s fair market value at the date of the grant and generally have a term of ten years. The amounts granted each calendar year to an employee or non-employee is limited depending on the type of award. Stock options comprise all of the awards granted since the 2019 Plan’s inception. As of December 31, 2019, there were no shares available for grant under the 2019 Plan. Stock options granted under the 2019 Plan typically vest over a four-year period, with a 1-year cliff.

FUTURE LABS V, INC.

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

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 December 31, 2019 and 2018, cumulative losses through December 31, 2019, and no history of generating taxable income. Therefore, valuation allowances of $250,467 and $2,687 were recorded as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Valuation allowance increased by $247,780 and $2,687 during the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, 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 2019 and 2018 due to the full valuation allowance on its net deferred tax assets.

 

The Company’s ability to utilize net operating loss carryforwards will depend on its ability to generate adequate future taxable income. At December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards available to offset future taxable income in the amounts of $256,191 and $9,602.

 

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.

 

In December 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”) was enacted into law and the new legislation contains several key tax provisions that affected the Company, including a reduction of the corporate income tax rate to 21% effective January 1, 2018, among others. The Company is required to recognize the effect of the tax law changes in the period of enactment, such as determining the transition tax, remeasuring deferred tax assets and liabilities, as well as reassessing the net realizability of our deferred tax assets and liabilities. The Company used the new tax rates in calculating its 2018 deferred tax assets.

 

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 2017-2019 tax years remain open to examination.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS

 

Future Labs V, Inc. (the “Company”), doing business as Graze, is a corporation formed on December 4, 2017 under the laws of Delaware. The Company was formed to sell commercial robotic lawnmowers. The Company is headquartered in Santa Monica, California.

 

As of June 30, 2020, the Company has not commenced planned principal operations nor generated revenue. The Company’s activities since inception have consisted of formation activities 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 $1,096,961 and $148,533 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and has incurred negative cash flows from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019. As of June 30, 2020, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $1,912,844 and limited liquid assets with $1,107 of cash. These factors 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.

 

Unaudited Interim Financial Information

 

The accompanying balance sheet as of June 30, 2020 and the statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 are unaudited. The unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited annual financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair statement of the Company’s financial position as of June 30, 2020 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019. The financial data and other information disclosed in these notes related to the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 are also unaudited. The results for the six months ended June 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2020, any other interim periods, or any future year or period.

 

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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

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 June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, 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. Advertising and promotional expense for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 amounted to approximately $230,000 and $0, respectively, which is included in sales and marketing expense.

 

Research and Development Costs

 

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

FUTURE LABS V, INC.

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Accrued Expenses

 

As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had $65,000 in material costs not yet invoiced. This amount is included in research and development expenses in the statements of operations.

 

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.

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. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had capitalized deferred offering costs of $333,887 and $115,479, respectively.

 

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 June 30, 2020 and 2019, diluted net loss per share is the same as basic net loss per share for each year. Potentially dilutive items outstanding as of June 30, 2020 and 2019 are as follows:

 

   Six Months Ended 
   June 30, 
   2020   2019 
   (unaudited) 
Convertible promissory note, related party*   43,759    - 
Options to purchase common stock   370,637    - 
Warrants   173,511    - 
Total potentially dilutive shares   587,907    - 

 

*Convertible notes’ potential shares are calculated based on principal and accrued interest, the valuation cap and the Company’s fully diluted capitalization as of June 30, 2020.  See Note 6 for more information.

 

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, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has is currently evaluating the impact on its financial statements.

 

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2018-07”). ASU 2018-07 eliminates the separate accounting model for nonemployee share-based payment awards and generally requires companies to account for share-based payment transactions with nonemployees in the same way as share-based payment transactions with employees. The accounting remains different for attribution, which represents how the equity-based payment cost is recognized over the vesting period, and a contractual term election for valuing nonemployee equity share options. ASU 2018-07 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018 with early adoption permitted. The Company has adopted this standard effective January 1, 2019.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) and has issued subsequent amendments to this guidance. This new standard will replace all current guidance on this topic and eliminate all industry-specific guidance. The new revenue recognition standard provides a unified model to determine when and how revenue is recognized. The core principle is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration for which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 31, 2018. The standard may be applied either retrospectively to each period presented or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. The Company has adopted this standard effective January 1, 2019.

 

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, RELATED PARTY

 

In August 2019, the Company issued two convertible promissory notes (the “Notes”) to two related parties, Wavemaker Partners V, LP and Wavemaker Global Select, LLC, for an aggregate principal amount of $465,000. The Notes are subject to automatic conversion upon a qualified preferred stock financing in excess of $3,300,000. 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). In the event that a financing that is not a qualified financing occurs prior to the notes’ respective maturity dates or earlier conversion of the Notes, the noteholders have the option to convert the Notes into shares of the Company’s common stock by dividing the outstanding principal and unpaid interest by a conversion price equal to the lesser of i) 80% of the price paid per share for such shares or ii) $8,000,000 divided by the dilutive common shares outstanding. If the Notes remain outstanding on or after the maturity date, the outstanding principal and accrued interest shall be convertible, at the noteholders’ option, into shares of a newly created class of Series Seed Preferred Stock at price equal to $8,000,000 divided by the dilutive common shares outstanding. 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 the lesser of i) 80% of the price paid per share in the sale of the Company or ii) a price equal to the quotient of $8,000,000 divided by the dilutive common shares outstanding.

 

The Notes have a 3-year term maturing in August 2022. The notes bear interest at 5% per annum. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, interest expense incurred on these notes was $11,625, all of which remains unpaid as of June 30, 2020.

 

7. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

 

As of June 30, 2020, the Company’s certificate of incorporation, as amended and restated, authorized the Company to issue three classes of stock: Preferred Stock, Class F Stock and Common Stock. The Company is authorized to issue 5,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, of which 1,968,210 shares are designated as Series A Preferred Stock and 750,000 shares are designated as Series A-1 Preferred 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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, there were no shares of Preferred Stock issued or outstanding.

 

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

 

Voting

 

The holders of Preferred and Class F 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 and Class F Stock could convert on the record date for determination of stockholders entitled to vote. The holders of Series A Preferred Stock and Series A-1 Preferred Stock shall vote together as a single class.

9. INCOME TAXES

The differences relate primarily to depreciable assets using accelerated depreciation methods for income tax purposes, stock-based compensation expense and research and development and net operating loss carryforwards. As of June 30, 2020, the Company had net deferred tax assets before valuation allowance of $448,557. The following table presents the deferred tax assets and liabilities by source:

    June 30,  
    2020  
    (unaudited)  
Deferred tax assets:        
Net operating loss carryforwards   $ 142,342  
Stock-based compensation     13,990  
Cash to accrual differences     292,226  
Valuation allowance     (448,557 )
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 six months ended June 30, 2020, cumulative losses through June 30, 2020, and no history of generating taxable income. Therefore, a full valuation allowance of $448,557 was recorded. The valuation allowance increased by $198,090 during the six months ended June 30, 2020. Deferred tax assets were calculated using the Company’s combined effective tax rate, which it estimated to be 28.0% and 39.8%, respectively. The effective rate is reduced to 0% for 2020 due to the full valuation allowance on its net deferred tax assets.

 

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.
