A LETTER FROM THE FOUNDER TO PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS

 

Thank you for considering an investment in GolfSuites! We couldn’t be more excited about this opportunity and are thrilled that you are considering joining us. Before you get into the Offering Circular, there are a couple things we want to mention.

 

GolfSuites is not a conventional company. We don’t intend to become one.

 

Most of this Offering Circular describes GolfSuites in conventional business terms. In fact, the whole purpose of this document is to provide a convention for you to evaluate our company and make an informed investment decision. But there are elements of GolfSuites that defy convention and we want to take a moment to explain them in our own words.

 

What we love

 

We have merged our passion for entertainment, golf, and hospitality with our business acumen to create an experience that we believe is like no other. GolfSuites offers a FUN, entertainment filled environment with high-quality food, creative menus, unique beverages, and golf. Our goal is to connect communities by providing a FUN and engaging venue through entertainment, food & beverage, technology-driven experiences, and game improvement for anyone looking to have FUN no matter the occasion. We pride ourselves on delivering FUN with passion by building relationships and creating unforgettable experiences for each and every Guest. #thinksuite

 

We know when it is time to pivot!

 

We have learned some important lessons along the way. When we launched our first Regulation A offering in 2019 our primary intent was to build large golfing facilities across the county. Each facility would cost approximately $30,000,000 and would focus on golf with food and beverage as a secondary interest. We have since learned that we love FUN, great food and golf. We have learned that we can bring this multi-faceted experience to our guests in various types of venues, including smaller venues that we build, purchase, or lease, and full size new builds if the right incentives are aligned.

 

So THANK YOU again for considering our company. As with any investment, but especially for new companies, an investment does involve risk, please review the information in this Offering Circular including the risk factors. If you like what you see, we’d be honored to have you join us. And if you’re not sure, please check us out on of our facilities so you can see for yourself what we’re all about.

 

It’s Time to Tee Off!

Chairman, GolfSuites 1, Inc.

Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company

 

We are not subject to the ongoing reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) because we are not registering our securities under the Exchange Act.  Rather, we will be subject to the more limited reporting requirements under Regulation A, including the obligation to electronically file:

 

annual reports (including disclosure relating to our business operations for the preceding two fiscal years, or, if in existence for less than two years, since inception, related party transactions, beneficial ownership of the issuer’s securities, executive officers and directors and certain executive compensation information, management’s discussion and analysis (“MD&A”) of the issuer’s liquidity, capital resources, and results of operations, and two years of audited financial statements),

 

semiannual reports (including disclosure primarily relating to the issuer’s interim financial statements and MD&A) and

 

current reports for certain material events. 

 

In addition, at any time after completing reporting for the fiscal year in which our offering statement was qualified, if the securities of each class to which this offering statement relates are held of record by fewer than 300 persons and offers or sales are not ongoing, we may immediately suspend our ongoing reporting obligations under Regulation A. 

 

If and when we become subject to the ongoing reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, as an issuer with less than $1.07 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. 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);

 

7

 

 

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 under Section 107 of the JOBS Act. 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 $1.07 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.

 

Summary Risk Factors

 

Our business expects to be 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:

 

  This is a relatively new company.

 

  Our Parent Company has a limited prior performance record.

 

  The company’s auditor has issued a “going concern” opinion.

 

  The company has minimal operating capital, no significant assets and limited revenues from operations.

 

  The success of GolfSuites business is dependent on its ability to lease or purchase parcels of land at favorable prices.

 

  In the event the company acquires leased property it may not be able to successfully negotiate satisfactory terms regarding the leased space, renew or replace existing leases, on satisfactory terms or at all, any of these items could restrict the company’s ability to grow and retain its existing customers and annual members.  Accordingly, the financial condition and results of operations could be harmed.

 

  The company plans to raise significantly more capital and future fundraising rounds could result in dilution.

 

  Success in the hospitality and entertainment industry is highly unpredictable and there is no guarantee the company’s content will be successful in the market.

 

8

 

 

  The company may not be able to attract and retain individuals interested in annual memberships at its facilities, and attract drop-in/daily memberships, which could harm its business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

  GolfSuites operates in a highly competitive market.   

 

  Competition in the “alternative venues for recreational pursuits” industry could have a material adverse effect on the company’s business and results of operations.

 

  Customer complaints or litigation on behalf of GolfSuites customers or employees may adversely affect its business, results of operations or financial condition.

 

  The company’s insurance may not be sufficient.

 

  The company may not be able to operate its facilities, or obtain and maintain licenses and permits necessary for such operation, in compliance with laws, regulations and other requirements, which could adversely affect its business, results of operations or financial condition.

 

  The company has concentrated its investments in golf-related real estate and facilities, which are subject to numerous risks, including the risk that the values of their investments may decline if there is a prolonged downturn in real estate values.

 

  The illiquidity of real estate may make it difficult for the company to dispose of one or more of its properties or negatively affect its ability to profitably sell such properties and access liquidity.

 

  The company’s development and growth strategy depends on its ability to identify, and fund new entertainment venues and operate them profitably

 

  GolfSuites depends on a small management team and may need to hire more people to be successful.

 

  Key Man Risk.  

 

  GolfSuites may not be able to protect all of its intellectual property.

 

  The Parent Company has not yet entered into master licensing agreements with some of its third-party suppliers of technology and GolfSuites has not yet been made a sublicense to the relevant master licensing agreements.

 

  Distributions will be only made if permitted under Delaware law, which is subject to change, and in the sole discretion of the board of directors.

 

  The tax treatment of dividends may vary and distributions to shareholders may be taxed as capital gains. 

 

  The company is responsible for certain administrative burdens relating to taxation.

 

  The offering price has been arbitrarily set by the company.

 

  There is no minimum amount set as a condition to closing this offering.

 

  The officers of GolfSuites control the company and the company does not currently have any independent directors.

 

  The exclusive forum provision in the company’s Certificate of Incorporation may have the effect of limiting an investor’s ability to bring legal action against the company and could limit an investor’s ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes.

 

9

 

 

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

 

  There is no current market for GolfSuites shares.

 

  There are conflicts of interest between the company, its management and their affiliates.

 

  The interests of the Parent Company, GolfSuites and the company’s other affiliates may conflict with your interests.  

 

  Loans issued by The Parent Company to GolfSuites may not be made at arm’s length.

 

  The Parent Company and GolfSuites intend to share some services.

 

  If the Parent Company, the company’s manager, were to file for bankruptcy or otherwise liquidate the company’s result and operations, could be negatively affected.

 

  The company’s results of operations may be negatively impacted by the coronavirus outbreak.

 

  Actual or threatened epidemics, pandemics, outbreaks, or other public health crises may adversely affect the company’s business.

 

RISK FACTORS

 

The SEC requires the company to identify risks that are specific to its business and its financial condition. The company is still subject to all the same risks that all companies in its 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 riskier than more developed companies. You should consider general risks as well as specific risks when deciding whether to invest.

 

Risks relating to GolfSuites business

 

This is a relatively new company. The company was incorporated in October 2018. It is a startup company and currently operates only two facilities. The company and/or its affiliates have been operating the Tulsa Facility since September 2019 and the Lubbock Facility since August 2020 and has entered into a lease for the Baton Rouge Facility. It has not started to build any additional golf facilities. There is only a limited history upon which an evaluation of its past performance and future prospects in the hospitality and entertainment industry can be made. Statistically, most startup companies fail.

 

Our Parent Company has a limited prior performance record. Just as GolfSuites is a relatively new entrant in the market, GolfSuites, Inc. (our “Parent Company”), which provides management services to GolfSuites, has a limited track record of involvement in hospitality and entertainment that investors may assess. Even if the Parent Company did have such prior experience, that experience would not be indicative of its future performance.

 

The company’s auditor has issued a “going concern” opinion. GolfSuites auditor has issued a “going concern” opinion on their financial statements, which means the company may not be able to succeed as a business without additional financing. GolfSuites was incorporated in October 2018. It has an accumulated deficit of $2,718,787 and $1,887,129 as of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The audit report states that the company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months is dependent upon its ability to generate cash from operating activities and/or to raise additional capital to fund its operations. The company’s failure to raise additional short-term capital could have a negative impact on not only their financial condition but also their ability to remain in business.

 

10

 

 

The company has minimal operating capital, no significant assets and limited revenues from operations. The company currently has minimal operating capital, limited revenues (only the Tulsa Facility and the Lubbock Facility are operational), and for the foreseeable future will be dependent upon its ability to finance its planned operations from the sale of securities or other financing alternatives. There can be no assurance that it will be able to successfully raise operating capital in this or other offerings of securities, to raise enough funds to operate multiple venues. The failure to successfully raise operating capital and to effectively manage the Tulsa Facility and Lubbock Facilities could result in its inability to execute its business plan and potentially lead to bankruptcy, which would have a material adverse effect on the company and its investors.

 

The success of GolfSuites business is dependent on its ability to take over existing facilities or to lease or purchase parcels of land at favorable prices.

 

GolfSuites is a capital-intensive operation and requires a two-step process prior to operating facilities.

 

First, GolfSuites has to lease or purchase the facility (if it is not building a facility from the ground up).
   
Second, GolfSuites has to re-brand existing facilities, or build new facilities from the ground up.

 

As of the date of this Offering Circular, the company: (i) leases the Tulsa Facility and leases the property that the Tulsa Facility is on and (ii) owns the Lubbock Facility but leases the land that the Lubbock facility is on and (iii) owns the Baton Rouge facility and leases the property that the Baton Rouge Facility is on.

 

If this offering does not raise enough capital to make capital improvements on existing facilities, enter additional lease agreements for facilities, or purchase the land that is necessary to begin construction, the company will need to procure external financing for the purchase of the land and/or construction or improvements of the facility.

 

In the event the company acquires leased property it may not be able to successfully negotiate satisfactory terms regarding the leased space, renew or replace existing leases, on satisfactory terms or at all, any of these items could restrict the company’s ability to grow and retain its existing customers and annual members.  Accordingly, the financial condition and results of operations could be harmed. The company may lease certain real estate for the development of various facilities.  Potential hurdles that the company may encounter when leasing land include the following:

 

  Inability to negotiate favorable terms due to market conditions
     
  Inability to negotiate favorable terms due to limited experience to date with these types of transactions.
     
  Inability to renew the lease on favorable terms.
     
  Increase in rental rates in markets in which the company operates.
     
  Inability to expand its portfolio of facilities as quickly as possible.
     
  Long-term and fixed-cost nature of leases in general may limit the company’s operating flexibility.

 

The company’s ability to negotiate favorable terms to extend an expiring lease or to secure an alternate location will depend on then-prevailing conditions in the real estate market, such as overall rental cost increases, competition from other would-be tenants for desirable leased spaces and its relationships with current and prospective building owners and landlords, and may depend on other factors that are not within the company’s control. If the company is not able to renew or replace an expiring lease, it will incur significant costs related to vacating that space and redeveloping whatever alternative space the company is able to find, if any. In addition, if the company is forced to vacate a space, the company could lose members who purchased memberships based on the design, location or other attributes of that particular facility and may not be interested in becoming members at another facility.

 

The company plans to raise significantly more capital and future fundraising rounds could result in dilution. GolfSuites will need to raise additional funds to finance its operations or fund its business plan. Even if the company manages to raise subsequent financing or borrowing rounds, the terms of those borrowing rounds might be more favorable to new investors or creditors than to existing investors such as you. New equity investors or lenders could have greater rights to the company’s financial resources (such as liens over its assets) compared to existing shareholders. Additional financings could also dilute your ownership stake, potentially drastically. See “Dilution” and the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” for more information.

 

11

 

 

Success in the hospitality and entertainment industry is highly unpredictable and there is no guarantee the company’s content will be successful in the market. The company’s success will depend on the popularity of its hospitality and entertainment facilities. Consumer tastes, trends and preferences frequently change and are notoriously difficult to predict. If the company fails to anticipate future consumer preferences in the hospitality and entertainment business, its business and financial performance will likely suffer. The hospitality and entertainment industry is fiercely competitive. The company may not be able to develop facilities that will become profitable. The company may also invest in facilities that end up losing money. Even if one of its facilities is successful, the company may lose money in others.

 

The company may not be able to attract and retain individuals interested in annual memberships at its facilities, and attract drop-in/daily memberships, which could harm its business, financial condition and results of operations. The company’s success depends on its ability to:

 

  Provide dining and leisure experiences that members are interested in paying for.

 

  Maintain or increase revenues generated from food and beverage sales.

 

  Attract consistent suite rentals.

 

  Attract individuals interested in paying for daily memberships.

 

  Attract individuals interested in paying for annual memberships.

 

  Maintain or increase revenues generated from corporate events.

 

  Maintain or increase revenues from retail sales.

 

Changes in consumer financial condition, leisure tastes and preferences, particularly those affecting the popularity of golf, and other social and demographic trends could adversely affect its business. Significant periods where attrition rates exceed enrolment rates or where facilities usage is below historical levels would have a material adverse effect on its business, results of operations and financial condition. If the company cannot attract new members, retain its existing members, its financial condition and results of operations could be harmed.

 

GolfSuites operates in a highly competitive market.  GolfSuites plans to operate in a highly competitive market and faces intense competition. Its competitors include:

 

  Top Golf,
     
  DriveShack,
     
  1Up Golf,
     
  Big Shots,
     
  Driv,
     
  ClubCorp, and
     
  Arccis Golf

 

Many of the company’s current and potential competitors have greater resources, longer histories, more customers, and greater brand recognition. Competitors may secure better terms from vendors, adopt more aggressive pricing and devote more resources to technology, infrastructure, fulfillment, and marketing.

 

Further, GolfSuites properties will compete on a local and regional level with restaurants and other business, dining and social clubs. The number and variety of competitors in this business will vary based on the location and setting of each facility. Some facilities may be situated in intensely competitive upscale urban areas characterized by frequent innovations in the products and services offered by competing restaurants and other business, dining and social clubs. In addition, in most regions, the competitive landscape is in constant flux as new restaurants and other social and meeting venues open or expand their amenities. As a result of these characteristics, the supply in a given region may exceed the demand for such facilities, and any increase in the number or quality of restaurants and other social and meeting venues, or the products and services they provide, in such region could significantly impact the ability of the company’s properties to attract and retain members, which could harm their business and results of operations.

Competition in the “alternative venues for recreational pursuits” industry could have a material adverse effect on the company’s business and results of operations. GolfSuites properties compete on a local and regional level with alternative venues for recreational pursuits. The company’s results of operations could be affected by the availability of, and demand for, alternative venues for recreational pursuits, such as multi-use sports and athletic centers. In addition, member-owned and individual privately-owned clubs may be able to create a perception of exclusivity that the company has difficulty replicating. To the extent these alternatives succeed in diverting actual or prospective members away from the company’s facilities or affects its membership rates, the company’s business and results of operations could be harmed.

 

Customer complaints or litigation on behalf of GolfSuites customers or employees may adversely affect its business, results of operations or financial condition. The company’s business may be adversely affected by legal or governmental proceedings brought by or on behalf of their customers or employees. Regardless of whether any claims against the company are valid or whether they are liable, claims may be expensive to defend and may divert time and money away from operations and hurt the company’s financial performance. A judgment significantly in excess of their insurance coverage or not covered by insurance could have a material adverse effect on the company’s business, results of operations or financial condition. Also, adverse publicity resulting from these allegations may materially affect the company.

 

The company’s insurance may not be sufficient. There can be no assurance that its insurance is sufficient to cover the full extent of all of its losses or liabilities for which it is insured. Further, insurance policies expire annually, and the company cannot guarantee that it will be able to renew insurance policies on favorable terms, or at all. In addition, if it, or other leisure facilities, sustain significant losses or make significant insurance claims, then its ability to obtain future insurance coverage at commercially reasonable rates could be materially adversely affected. If the company’s insurance coverage is not adequate, or it becomes subject to damages that cannot by law be insured against, such as punitive damages or certain intentional misconduct by their employees, this could adversely affect the company’s financial condition or results of operations.

 

The company may not be able to operate its facilities or obtain and maintain licenses and permits necessary for such operation, in compliance with laws, regulations and other requirements, which could adversely affect its business, results of operations or financial condition. Each facility is subject to licensing and regulation by alcoholic beverage control, amusement, health, sanitation, safety, building code and fire agencies in the state, county and/or municipality in which the facility is located.

 

Each facility is required to obtain a license to sell alcoholic beverages on the premises from a state authority and, in certain locations, county and municipal authorities. Typically, licenses must be renewed annually and may be revoked or suspended for cause at any time. In some states, the loss of a license for cause with respect to one facility may lead to the loss of licenses at all facilities in that state and could make it more difficult to obtain additional licenses in that state. Alcoholic beverage control regulations relate to numerous aspects of the daily operations of each facility, including minimum age of patrons and employees, hours of operation, advertising, wholesale purchasing, inventory control and handling and storage and dispensing of alcoholic beverages. The failure to receive or retain a liquor license, or any other required permit or license, in a particular location, or to continue to qualify for, or renew licenses, could have a material adverse effect on operations and the company’s ability to obtain such a license or permit in other locations.

 

The company may be subject to “dram shop” statutes in states where its facilities may be located. These statutes generally provide a person injured by an intoxicated person the right to recover damages from an establishment that wrongfully served alcoholic beverages to the intoxicated individual. Recent litigation against restaurant chains has resulted in significant judgments and settlements under dram shop statutes. Because these cases often seek punitive damages, which may not be covered by insurance, such litigation could have an adverse impact on the company’s business, results of operations or financial condition.

 

13

 

 

As a result of operating certain entertainment games and attractions, including skill-based games that offer redemption prizes, the company is subject to amusement licensing and regulation by the states, counties and municipalities in which its facilities are to be located. These laws and regulations can vary significantly by state, county, and municipality and, in some jurisdictions, may require the company to modify their business operations or alter the mix of redemption games and simulators that they offer.

 

Moreover, as more states and local communities implement legalized gambling, the laws and corresponding enabling regulations may also be applicable to the company’s redemption games and regulators may create new licensing requirements, taxes or fees, or restrictions on the various types of redemption games the company offers. Furthermore, other states, counties and municipalities may make changes to existing laws to further regulate legalized gaming and illegal gambling. Adoption of these laws, or adverse interpretation of existing laws, could cause the company to modify its plans for its facilities and if the company creates facilities in these jurisdictions it may be required to alter the mix of games, modify certain games, limit the number of tickets that may be won by a customer from a redemption game, change the mix of prizes that the company may offer or terminate the use of specific games, any of which could adversely affect the company’s operations. If the company fails to comply with such laws and regulations, the company may be subject to various sanctions and/or penalties and fines or may be required to cease operations until it achieves compliance, which could have an adverse effect on the company’s business and financial results.

 

The company has concentrated its investments in golf-related real estate and facilities, which are subject to numerous risks, including the risk that the values of their investments may decline if there is a prolonged downturn in real estate values. The company’s operations will consist almost entirely of golf properties, some of those facilities will be approximately 10-20 acres in size, that encompass a large amount of real estate holdings. Accordingly, the company is subject to the risks associated with holding real estate investments. A prolonged decline in the popularity of golf could adversely affect the value of its real estate holdings and could make it difficult to sell facilities or businesses.

 

The company’s real estate holdings will be subject to risks typically associated with investments in real estate. The investment returns available from equity investments in real estate depend in large part on the amount of income earned, expenses incurred and capital appreciation generated by the related properties. In addition, a variety of other factors affect income from properties and real estate values, including governmental regulations, real estate, insurance, zoning, tax and eminent domain laws, interest rate levels and the availability of financing. For example, new or existing real estate zoning or tax laws can make it more expensive and time-consuming to expand, modify or renovate older properties. Under eminent domain laws, governments can take real property. Sometimes this taking is for less compensation than the owner believes the property is worth. Any of these factors could have an adverse impact on the company’s business, financial condition or results of operations.

 

The illiquidity of real estate may make it difficult for the company to dispose of one or more of its properties or negatively affect its ability to profitably sell such properties and access liquidity. The company may from time to time decide to dispose of one or more of its real estate assets. Because real estate holdings generally, are relatively illiquid, the company may not be able to dispose of one or more real estate assets on a timely basis. In some circumstances, sales may result in investment losses which could adversely affect the company’s financial condition. The illiquidity of its real estate assets could mean that it continues to operate a facility that management has identified for disposition. Failure to dispose of a real estate asset in a timely fashion, or at all, could adversely affect the company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

The company’s development and growth strategy depends on its ability to identify, and fund new entertainment venues and operate them profitably. The company’s ability to identify and fund various facilities, on a timely and cost-effective basis, or at all, is dependent on a number of factors, many of which are beyond its control, including but not limited to the company’s ability to:

 

  Find quality locations.
     
  Reach acceptable agreements regarding the lease or purchase of locations, and comply with the company’s commitments under its lease agreements.
     
  Raise or have available an adequate amount of cash or currently available financing for rebranding, constructing and opening facilities, as applicable.
     
  Comply with applicable zoning, licensing, land use and environmental regulations.
     
  Timely hire, train and retain the skilled management and other employees’ necessary to meet staffing needs.
     
  Obtain, for acceptable cost, required permits and approvals, including liquor licenses

 

14

 

 

Even if the company succeeds in opening entertainment golf facilities on a timely and cost-effective basis, the company may nonetheless be unable to attract enough customers to these new venues because potential customers may be unfamiliar with its venue or concept, entertainment and menu options might not appeal to them and the company may face competition from other food and leisure venues.

 

GolfSuites depends on a small management team and may need to hire more people to be successful. The success of GolfSuites will greatly depend on the skills, connections and experiences of the executives, Gerald Ellenburg, Nick Flanagan, Scott McCurry, Michael Zylstra and Ann England. Though, the Parent Company has entered into employment agreements with Gerald Ellenburg and Nick Flanagan, the company has not entered into employment agreements with any of the aforementioned executives. There is no guarantee that the executives will agree to terms and execute employment agreements that are favorable to the company. Should any of them discontinue working for GolfSuites, there is no assurance that the company will continue. Further, there is no assurance that the company will be able to identify, hire and retain the right people for the various key positions.

 

Key Man Risk. The company’s founders and key men are serial entrepreneurs. It is likely that some, if not all of the founders and key men, may exit the business within the next three years. In the event one or more of its founders and/or key men exit the business the company may experience following:

 

  financial loss;
     
  a disruption to the organization's future projects;
     
  damage to the brand; and
     
  potentially supporting a competitor.

 

GolfSuites may not be able to protect all of its intellectual property. GolfSuites will be using the intellectual property of the Parent Company, including the following trademarks that have been filed: GolfSuites, Off The Deck and FirstCut. The profitability of GolfSuites may depend in part on the Parent Company’s ability, to effectively protect its intellectual property and the ability of GolfSuites to operate without inadvertently infringing on the proprietary rights of others. Any litigation protecting the Parent Company’s intellectual property and defending its original content could have a material adverse effect on the company’s business, operating results and financial condition regardless of the outcome of such litigation.

 

Risks relating to this offering and GolfSuites shares

 

Distributions will be only made if the company declares dividends and if permitted under Delaware law, which is subject to change, and in the sole discretion of the board of directors. Pursuant to section 170 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“Delaware Law”), dividends may be paid out of “surplus” even in the absence of profits.  Under section 154, “surplus” may be defined by the board of directors, in their sole discretion, but generally may not be less than the par value of the shares issued. Accordingly, most of the proceeds of this offering may be considered surplus. However, Delaware Law is subject to change, and the company cannot guarantee that dividend payments will always be permitted under Delaware Law. Further, the company in its sole discretion may decide not to declare and pay dividends. At which point, the dividends will accrue to be paid at a later date, or if at all.

 

The tax treatment of dividends may vary and distributions to shareholders may be taxed as capital gains. The distributions made pursuant to the Preferred Stock dividend provisions will be taxable as dividends to shareholders only to the extent of current and accumulated earnings and profits.  To the extent the company does not have current and accumulated earnings and profits, the distributions will be treated as a non-taxable return of capital to the extent of the shareholder’s adjusted basis. If distributions still exceed the amount of adjusted basis, such excess would be considered as capital gains income to the shareholder, who will generally be subject to federal (and possibly State) income tax on such gains at a rate that depends upon the shareholder’s holding period with respect to the shares in question, among other factors. Since the tax treatment of any distributions may vary according to the financial performance of the company, as well as the particular circumstances of the investor, investors should consult their own tax advisers, and should further not assume that the distributions will be subject to the same tax treatment from year to year.

 

15

 

 

The company is responsible for certain administrative burdens relating to taxation. Federal law required that the company report annually all distributions to shareholders on a Form 1099-DIV.  The company is responsible for ensuring that the extent to which such distributions constitute a distribution of earnings and profits is correctly identified on form 1099-DIV. This reporting requirement adds to the administrative burdens of the company.

 

The offering price has been arbitrarily set by the company. GolfSuites has set the price of its Preferred Stock at $9.00 per share. Valuations for companies at GolfSuites stage are purely speculative. The company’s valuation has not been validated by any independent third party and may fall precipitously. It is a question of whether you, the investor, are willing to pay this price for a percentage ownership of a start-up company. You should not invest if you disagree with this valuation.

 

There is no minimum amount set as a condition to closing this offering. Because this is a “best efforts” offering with no minimum, the company will have access to any funds tendered. This might mean that any investment made could be the only investment in this offering, leaving the company without adequate capital to pursue its business plan or even to cover the expenses of this offering.

 

The officers of the Parent Company control the company and the company does not currently have any independent directors. The Parent Company is currently the company’s controlling shareholder. Moreover, the company’s executive officers and directors, through their ownership in the Parent Company, are currently GolfSuites controlling shareholders. As holders of the Class B Common Stock which gives the Parent Company 5 votes per share, as opposed to 1 vote per share for holders of Class A Common Stock and Class A Preferred Stock, the Parent Company will continue to hold a majority of the voting power of all the company’s equity stock and therefore control the board at the conclusion of this offering. Even if the Parent Company were to own as little as 16.66% of the equity securities of the company, the Parent Company would still control a majority of the voting stock. This could lead to unintentional subjectivity in matters of corporate governance, especially in matters of compensation and related party transactions. The company does not benefit from the advantages of having independent directors, including bringing an outside perspective on strategy and control, adding new skills and knowledge that may not be available within the company, and having extra checks and balances to prevent fraud and produce reliable financial reports.

 

The exclusive forum provision in the company’s Certificate of Incorporation may have the effect of limiting an investor’s ability to bring legal action against the company and could limit an investor’s ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes. Article VII of the company’s Certificate of Incorporation contain exclusive forum provisions for certain lawsuits, see “Securities Being Offered – All Classes of Stock – Forum Selection Provisions.” Further, Section 6 of the subscription agreement for this offering includes exclusive forum provisions for certain lawsuits pursuant to the subscription agreement; see “Securities Being Offered – All Classes of Stock – Forum Selection Provisions.” The forum for these lawsuits will be the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware. None of the forum selections provisions will be applicable to lawsuits arising from the federal securities laws. These provisions may have the effect of limiting the ability of investors to bring a legal claim against us due to geographic limitations. There is also the possibility that the exclusive forum provisions may discourage stockholder lawsuits, or limit stockholders’ ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with the company and its officers and directors. Alternatively, if a court were to find this exclusive forum provision inapplicable to, or unenforceable in respect of, one or more of the specified types of actions or proceedings, the company may incur additional costs associated with resolving such matters in other jurisdictions, which could adversely affect its business and financial condition.

 

Investors in this offering may not be entitled to a jury trial with respect to claims arising under the subscription agreement and claims where the forum selection provision is applicable, which could result in less favorable outcomes to the plaintiff(s) in any such action. 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 subscription agreement, including any claim under the federal securities laws. Further, the forum selection provisions in the Certificate of Incorporation and the subscription agreement provide that for certain lawsuits the Court of Chancery in Delaware will be the exclusive forum. The Court of Chancery in Delaware is a non-jury trial court and therefore those claims will not be adjudicated by a jury. See “Securities Being Offered – All Classes of Stock – Jury Trial Waiver” and “Securities Being Offered – All Classes of Stock – Forum Selection Provisions.”

 

16

 

 

If the company 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 the company’s 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, the company believes that a contractual pre-dispute jury trial waiver provision is generally enforceable, including under the laws of the State of Delaware, which governs the subscription agreement, in the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware. 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. The company believes that this is the case with respect to the subscription agreement. Investors should consult legal counsel regarding the jury waiver provision before entering into the subscription agreement.

 

If an investor brings a claim against the company in connection with matters arising under the subscription agreement, including claims under federal securities laws, an investor 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 subscription 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 this jury trial waiver provision is not permitted by applicable law, an action could proceed under the terms of the subscription agreement with a jury trial. No condition, stipulation or provision of the subscription agreement serves as a waiver by any holder of common shares or by us 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 of Preferred Stock, including but not limited to the subscription agreement.

 

There is no current market for GolfSuites' shares. There is no formal marketplace for the resale of the company’s securities. Shares of the company’s Preferred Stock may eventually be traded to the extent any demand and/or trading platform(s) exists. However, there is no guarantee there will be demand for the shares, or a trading platform that allows you to sell them. The company does not have plans to apply for or otherwise seek trading or quotation of its Preferred Stock on an over-the-counter market. It is also hard to predict if the company will ever be acquired by a bigger company. Investors should assume that they may not be able to liquidate their investment or pledge their shares as collateral for some time.

 

Risks Related to Certain Conflicts of Interest

 

There are conflicts of interest between the company, its management and their affiliates. The Parent Company currently holds all of the issued Common Stock of GolfSuites. GolfSuites is also affiliated with ERC Communities, Inc. f/ka ERC HomeBuilders, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “ERC Entities”). Gerald Ellenburg is the CEO for the Parent Company, GolfSuites, and the ERC Entities. Therefore, it is likely that conflicts of interest will arise between the affiliates. Conflicts of interest could include, but are not limited to the following:

 

  Use of time.
     
  Use of human capital.
     
  Competition regarding the acquisition of properties and other assets.

 

17

 

 

 

The interests of the Parent Company the company and the company’s other affiliates may conflict with your interests. The company’s Certificate of Incorporation, Certificate of Designations, bylaws and Delaware law provide company management with broad powers and authority that could result in one or more conflicts of interest between your interests and those of the officers and directors of the Parent Company, the company, and the company’s other affiliates.  This risk is increased by the affiliated entities being controlled by the Parent Company who currently owns all of the company’s Common Stock. In addition, all of the company’s officers and directors currently have an interest in the Parent Company, through ownership and/or as an officer or director in the Parent Company. Potential conflicts of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

 

  The Parent Company and the company’s other affiliates will not be required to disgorge any profits or fees or other compensation they may receive from any other business they own separate from the company, and you will not be entitled to receive or share in any of the profits, return, fees or compensation from any other business owned and operated by the management and their affiliates for their own benefit.

 

  GolfSuites may engage the Parent Company, or other companies affiliated with GolfSuites to perform services, and determination for the terms of those services will not be conducted at arms’ length negotiations.

 

  The company’s officers and directors are not required to devote all of their time and efforts to the affairs of the company.

 

Loans issued by The Parent Company to GolfSuites may not be made at arm’s length. The Parent Company has made loans to GolfSuites in the amount of $2,143,058 as of December 31, 2021 and may make additional loans to GolfSuites. It is likely that these transactions have not been at arm’s length and may not be at arms-length in the future. Therefore, there is no way to assure third parties that the Parent Company and GolfSuites will be acting in their own self-interest and not subject to pressure or duress from the other party.

 

The Parent Company and GolfSuites intend to share some services. The Parent Company and GolfSuites will share the following services:

 

  Intellectual property.

 

  Licensing for the use of the name and brand identity.

 

Internal transactions incorporating products and services, fee sharing, cost allocations, and financing activities can create inefficiency, financial exposures and reporting risk. This arrangement could result in potential actual or perceived conflicts of interest.

 

If the Parent Company, the company’s manager, were to file for bankruptcy or otherwise liquidate the company’s result and operations, could be negatively affected. GolfSuites relies on the Parent Company for certain management services. While the company intends to continue its operations if the Parent Company were ever to file for bankruptcy or otherwise liquidate, there is no guarantee that the company would be able to do so. If the Parent Company were to enter bankruptcy proceedings or to otherwise liquidate, the company would be required to find other ways to meet the needs of its operations and business. Obtaining such alternative services, if available at all, could result in delays in the disbursement of distributions or the filing of reports or could require the company to pay significant fees to another company that it would engage to perform management services for it.

 

Risks Related to COVID-19

 

The company’s results of operations may continue to be negatively impacted by the coronavirus outbreak. 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. Various jurisdictions in the U.S., Europe, and Asia have implemented severe travel restrictions and social distancing. The long term 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 shares and investor demand for the shares generally. To date, our facilities have needed to comply with restrictions imposed by local and state governments, including limiting our ability to do group sales and other planned larger events. We believe that this has impacted our revenues from our facilities.

 

18

 

 

The continued spread of COVID-19 has also led to severe disruption and volatility in the global capital markets, which could increase the company’s cost of capital and adversely affect its 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 GolfSuites business, results of operations, or financial condition.

 

The extent to which COVID-19 affects the company’s 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 the company’s business and results of operations could be adversely affected to the extent that COVID-19 or any other pandemic harms the global economy generally.

 

Actual or threatened epidemics, pandemics, outbreaks, or other public health crises may adversely affect the company’s business. The company’s business could be materially and adversely affected by the risks, or the public perception of the risks, related to an epidemic, pandemic, outbreak, or other public health crisis, such as the recent outbreak of COVID-19. The risk, or public perception of the risk, of a pandemic or media coverage of infectious diseases could adversely affect the value of the shares and the financial condition of the company’s investors or prospective investors, resulting in reduced demand for the shares generally. Further, such risks could cause limited attendance to location-based entertainment venues, such as the GolfSuites venues. “Shelter-in-place” or other such orders by governmental entities could also disrupt the company’s operations, if those employees of the company who cannot perform their duties from home are unable to report to work.

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 all the shares are worth the same amount, and you paid more than earlier investors for your shares.

 

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 convertible notes and assuming that the shares are sold at $12.50 per share. The schedule presents shares and pricing as issued and reflects all transactions since inception, which gives investors a better picture of what they will pay for their investment compared to the company’s insiders than just including such transactions for the last 12 months, which is what the SEC requires.

 

The following table presents the approximate effective cash price paid for all shares and potential shares issuable by the company as of December 31, 2021.

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. 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.

 

21

 

 

 

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 early stage companies are unlikely to offer dividends, preferring to invest any earnings into the company).

 

The type of dilution that hurts early-stage investors most often 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 2020 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 2021, 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.

 

This type of dilution might also happen upon conversion of convertible notes into shares. Typically, the terms of convertible notes issued by early-stage companies provide that in the event of another round of financing, the holders of the convertible notes get to convert their notes into equity at a “discount” to the price paid by the new investors, i.e., they get more shares than the new investors would for the same price. Additionally, convertible notes may have a “price cap” on the conversion price, which effectively acts as a share price ceiling. Either way, the holders of the convertible notes get more shares for their money than new investors. In the event that the financing is a “down round” the holders of the convertible notes will dilute existing equity holders, and even more than the new investors do, because they get more shares for their money. Investors should pay careful attention to number of convertible notes that the company has issued (and may issue in the future, and the terms of those notes.

 

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.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

Plan of Distribution

 

GolfSuites, Inc. is offering a maximum of 2,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock on a “best efforts” basis.

 

The cash price per share of Preferred Stock is $12.50.

 

The Company intends to market its Common Stock in this Offering both through online and offline means. Online marketing may take the form of soliciting potential investors through various channels of online and electronic media whereby the Offering Circular may be delivered contemporaneously and posting “testing the waters” materials or the Offering Circular on an online investment platform. We will use our website, www. www.invest.golfsuites.com, blogs, and other social media to provide notification of the Offering.

 

We may undertake one or more closings on an ongoing basis. After each closing, funds tendered by investors will be held in a segregated account owned by the Company, but with viewing privileges assigned to our broker-dealer, Dalmore Group, LLC, and will remain in that account until cleared (AML/KYC). For details, see “Process of Subscribing.” After the initial closing of this offering, we expect to hold closings on at least a monthly basis.

 

There is no minimum number of shares that needs to be sold in order for funds to be released to the Company and for this Offering to close, which may mean that the Company does not receive sufficient funds to cover the cost of this Offering. All subscribers will be instructed by the Company or its agents to transfer funds by wire or ACH, check, debit or credit card directly to the bank account established for this Offering.

 

This Offering will terminate at the earlier of the date at which the maximum offering amount has been sold or the date at which the Offering is earlier terminated by the Company at its sole discretion (which we refer to as the “Termination Date”).

 

The Company has engaged Dalmore Group, LLC (“Dalmore”) a broker-dealer registered with the Commission and a member of FINRA, to perform the following administrative and compliance related functions in connection with this Offering, but not for underwriting or placement agent services:

 

  Review investor information, including KYC (“Know Your Customer”) data, AML (“Anti Money Laundering”) and other compliance background checks, and provide a recommendation to the Company whether or not to accept investor as a customer.
     
  Review each investor’s subscription agreement to confirm such investor’s participation in the offering and provide a determination to the Company whether or not to accept the use of the subscription agreement for the investor’s participation.
     
  Contact and/or notify the Company, if needed, to gather additional information or clarification on an investor.
     
  Not provide any investment advice nor any investment recommendations to any investor.
     
  Keep investor details and data confidential and not disclose to any third-party except as required by regulators or pursuant to the terms of the agreement (e.g. as needed for AML and background checks).
     
  Responsibility for all FINRA 5110 filings and updates.
     
  Review of written communications for compliance with applicable rules. Coordinate with third party providers to ensure adequate review and compliance. It is ultimately the responsibility of the Company as to whether to accept the recommendations of Dalmore with respect to compliance with written communications.
     
  Provide, or coordinate the provision by a third party, of an “invest now” payment processing mechanism, including connection to a qualified escrow agent.

 

As compensation for the services listed above, the Company has agreed to pay Dalmore a commission equal to 1% of the amount raised in the Offering to support the Offering on all newly invested funds after the issuance of a No Objection Letter by FINRA. In addition, the Company has paid Dalmore a $5,000 one-time advance expense allowance to cover reasonable out-of-pocket accountable expenses actually anticipated to be incurred by Dalmore in connection with this Offering. Dalmore will refund any amount related to this expense allowance to the extent it is not used, incurred or provided to the Company. The Company has also agreed to pay Dalmore a one-time consulting fee of $20,000 to provide ongoing general consulting services relating to this Offering such as coordination with third party vendors and general guidance with respect to the Offering, which will be due and payable within 30 days after this Offering is qualified by the Commission and the receipt of a No Objection Letter from FINRA.  Assuming the Offering is fully-subscribed, the Company estimates that total fees due to pay Dalmore, including the one-time advance expense allowance fee of $5,000 and consulting fee of $20,000, would be $275,000.

Process of Subscribing

 

After the Offering Statement has been qualified by the Commission, the Company will accept tenders of funds to purchase shares. The Company may close on investments on a “rolling” basis (so not all investors will receive their shares on the same date). Investors may subscribe by tendering funds by check, wire transfer, credit or debit card or ACH transfer. Investor funds will be processed through Stripe, Inc. Funds will be held in a segregated operating account owned by the Company. Dalmore will have view access to the account for purposes of verifying activity. Funds will remain in the segregated account until the subscription agreement has been cleared and countersigned by the Company. Funds then be released to the Company will be net funds (investment less payment for processing fees and a holdback equivalent to 5% for 90 days).

 

Investors will be required to complete a subscription agreement in order to invest. The subscription agreement includes a representation by the investor to the effect that, if the investor is not an “accredited investor” as defined under securities law, the investor is investing an amount that does not exceed the greater of 10% of their annual income or 10% of their net worth (excluding the investor’s principal residence).

 

Any potential investor will have ample time to review the subscription agreement, along with their counsel, prior to making any final investment decision. Dalmore will review all subscription agreements completed by the investor. After Dalmore has completed its review of a subscription agreement for an investment in the Company, the funds may be released by the escrow agent.

 

If the subscription agreement is not complete or there is other missing or incomplete information, the funds will not be released until the investor provides all required information. In the case of a debit card payment, provided the payment is approved, Dalmore will have up to three days to ensure all the documentation is complete. Dalmore will generally review all subscription agreements on the same day, but not later than the day after the submission of the subscription agreement.

 

All funds tendered (by check, wire, credit or debit card, or electronic funds transfer via ACH to the specified account or deliver evidence of cancellation of debt) by investors will be deposited into an escrow account at the Escrow Agent for the benefit of the Company. All funds received by wire transfer will be made available immediately while funds transferred by ACH will be restricted for a minimum of three days to clear the banking system prior to deposit into segregated operating account owned by the Company.

 

The Company maintains the right to accept or reject subscriptions in whole or in part, for any reason or for no reason, including, but not limited to, in the event that an investor fails to provide all necessary information, even after further requests from the Company, in the event an investor fails to provide requested follow up information to complete background checks or fails background checks, and in the event the Company receives oversubscriptions in excess of the maximum offering amount.

 

In the interest of allowing interested investors as much time as possible to complete the paperwork associated with a subscription, the Company has not set a maximum period of time to decide whether to accept or reject a subscription. If a subscription is rejected, funds will not be accepted by wire transfer or ACH, and payments made by debit card or check will be returned to subscribers within 30 days of such rejection without deduction or interest. Upon acceptance of a subscription, the Company will send a confirmation of such acceptance to the subscriber.

 

Dalmore has not investigated the desirability or advisability of investment in the Common Stock, nor approved, endorsed or passed upon the merits of purchasing the Common Stock. Dalmore is not participating as an underwriter and under no circumstance will it recommend the Company’s securities or provide investment advice to any prospective investor, or make any securities recommendations to investors. Dalmore is not distributing any offering circulars or making any oral representations concerning this Offering Circular or this Offering. Based upon Dalmore’s anticipated limited role in this Offering, it has not and will not conduct extensive due diligence of this Offering and no investor should rely on the involvement of Dalmore in this offering as any basis for a belief that it has done extensive due diligence. Dalmore does not expressly or impliedly affirm the completeness or accuracy of the Offering Statement and/or Offering Circular presented to investors by the Company. All inquiries regarding this offering should be made directly to the Company.

 

24

 

 

Upon confirmation that an investor’s funds have cleared, the Company will instruct the transfer agent to issue shares to the investor. The transfer agent will notify an investor when shares are ready to be issued and the Transfer Agent has set up an account for the investor.

The company estimates the aggregate fee due to Computershare for the above services to be $30,000 annually.

 

No Escrow

Management Services from GolfSuites

 

GolfSuites entered into a management services agreement with the Parent Company effective as of August 12, 2019 (the “Management Services Agreement”). Under that agreement, The Parent Company will manage the company and allow the company to use certain intellectual property and business concepts. The company will incur direct capitalized costs and overhead expenses.

 

Some direct capitalized costs and overhead expenses will be paid by the company directly (e.g., salaries, board of director and board of advisor fees, employee benefits, and general administrative costs) while other capitalized costs and overhead expenses will be paid by the Parent Company and then reimbursed by the company (e.g., architectural costs, engineering, land, zoning and permitting and other costs directly related to assets belonging to the company).

 

In addition, the company will pay the Parent Company monthly management fees as follows:

 

  Operating facilities:  4% of gross operating revenues once facilities are opened.

 

  o Parent Company shall calculate 4% of gross revenue amount of the immediate past month, and the Parent Company shall invoice the company for the specific management fee amount on a monthly basis.

 

  ¨ Facilities that are not operational:  3% of all-in development costs.

 

  o The “in-development costs” shall be calculated as the total amount of the hard and soft development costs, which include, but are not limited to, the total costs of land, development and entitlement costs, all construction costs, engineering and design costs, and contractor fees (the “In-Development Costs”) paid by the company in the immediate past month.  The Parent Company shall invoice the company for the specific management fee amount on a monthly basis.

 

The Tulsa Facility and the Lubbock Facility are considered operating facilities.

 

The initial term of the Management Services Agreement is for ten years. Upon expiration of the agreement, it will automatically renew for another two years. Either party can terminate the agreement provided 120 days written notice has been given to the other party. The Management Services Agreement may also be terminated upon certain events of default, including but not limited to, material breaches of the agreement and also if one party files for bankruptcy or otherwise liquidates.

 

In the event the Parent Company were to file for bankruptcy or otherwise liquidate, the company would have to seek another provider of management services or make arrangements for such services to be provided in-house, including the hiring of additional personnel.

 

This agreement amended and replaced the agreement dated April 15, 2019. The company had previously accrued costs under that agreement.

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

 

The company is subject to various conflicts of interest arising out of its relationship with the Parent Company. The company discusses these conflicts below.

 

General

 

The Parent Company currently holds all of the issued Common Stock of GolfSuites. The Parent Company is also affiliated with ERC Communities, Inc, f/k/a ERC HomeBuilders, Inc, and its related entities (collectively, the “ERC Entities”). The ERC Entities focus on the development and sale of a built-for rent properties in the United States. Gerald Ellenburg is the CEO for The Parent Company, the company and the ERC Entities (the “Affiliated Executives”).

 

These Affiliated Executives have legal obligations with respect to the Parent Company and the ERC Entities that are similar to their obligations to the company. In the future, these persons and other affiliates of the Parent Company and the ERC Entities may organize and or acquire for their own account, entertainment and hospitality facilities that may have been suitable for GolfSuites.

 

Allocation of GolfSuites Affiliates’ Time

 

Currently, The Tulsa Facility and the Lubbock Facility rely on Scott McCurry, to run the day-to day operations of the facilities. However, the company continues to rely on the Parent Company’s executive officers and other professionals who act on behalf of the Parent Company, for the day-to-day operation of its business, including sourcing locations, developing and/or sourcing future facilities, and capital raising. As the business matures, the company’s intent is to develop its own management team to take over the day-to-day operations of business. Until that occurs and as a result of the Affiliated Executives competing responsibilities, their obligations to other investors and the fact that they will continue to engage in other business activities on behalf of themselves and others, they will face conflicts of interest in allocating their time to GolfSuites and other entities and other business activities in which they are involved.

 

Receipt of Fees and Other Compensation by the Parent Company and its Affiliates

 

The Parent Company and its affiliates will receive substantial fees from the company, which fees will not be negotiated at arm’s length. These fees could influence the Parent Company’s advice to the company as well as the judgment of the Affiliated Executives of the Parent Company. For additional information see “The Company’s Business – Management Services from the Parent Company” for conflicts relating to the payments between the Parent Company and GolfSuites.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of our operations together with our consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing at the end of this Offering Circular. This discussion contains forward-looking statements reflecting our current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results and the timing of events may differ materially from those contained in these forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including those discussed elsewhere in this Offering Circular.

 

Overview

 

GolfSuites 1, Inc. owns, leases and operates golf driving range entertainment centers in the United States. The entertainment centers aim to provide next generation hospitality and dining venues, high tech gamified golf in climate-controlled suites, live entertainment, and spaces for both social and corporate functions.

 

As of December 31, 2021, the company owns 100% of GolfSuites Tulsa, LLC and 100% of GolfSuites Lubbock, LLC. The Tulsa Facility was formerly operated under the FlyingTee brand, but now operates under the GolfSuites brand. The Lubbock Facility was formerly operated under the 4ORE! Golf brand, but now operates under 4ORE! Golf-Powered By GolfSuites brand, and will change to usage of the GolfSuites brand later in 2022. The company began recording revenues for the Lubbock Facility in August 2020. The financial statements include the operations of GolfSuites Tulsa for 2020 and 2021 and GolfSuites Lubbock since the acquisition date of mid-August 2020; however, minority interest in the loss related to GolfSuites Lubbock, LLC has been reflected in the financial statements of the company due to GolfSuites Lubbock’s partial ownership of the Lubbock facility from mid-August through mid-November 2020, when it took over 100% ownership.

 

On March 16, 2021, GS 1 formed GolfSuites Baton Rouge, LLC (“Baton Rouge”), a Louisiana limited liability company for the purpose of leasing an approximate 18-acre existing driving range that had been closed for operations. This site will be developed at an estimated total cost of $1,500,000. Upon completion it will operate as a 40-bay facility offering the same services as Tulsa and Lubbock. The expected completion of development and opening of Baton Rouge is the end of Q2 2022. Funding for this site is being provided by GS 1’s Regulation A share sales, private equity investment, advances from the Parent Company, and positive operating cash flows from existing operations. Minority interest in the loss of Baton Rouge has been reflected in the attached statements due to the allocation of the entire 2021 loss to the private equity investor. As of December 31, 2021, the private equity investor has invested $400,000 of his total commitment of $600,000.

 

To date, revenues have come from the following activities:

 

  Suite rentals.

 

  Food and beverage sales.

 

  Coaching and instruction services.

 

  Individual and corporate membership sales.

 

  Retail sales.

 

The company collects revenue upon sale of an item (including: membership sales, food and beverage sales, apparel etc.) and recognizes the revenue when the sale is made.

 

Operating expenses currently consist of advertising and marketing expenses and general administrative expenses.

Year ended December 31, 2021 compared to the year ended December 31, 2020 

 

For the year ended December 31, 2021, (“Fiscal 2021”) the company had $8,853,965 in revenues compared to the year ended December 31, 2020 (“Fiscal 2020”) the company had $4,547,636 a $4,306,329 increase (or 95%) increase. The increase in revenues is attributable to:

 

·a full year ownership of the both Lubbock and Tulsa Facilities;
·the change in restrictions related to capacity constraints and public large-crowd-gatherings which were largely in place throughout 2020 but did not expire until March 2021, which led to an increase in group and corporate sales; and
·an expanded offering of food and beverages.

 

The company’s cost of revenues increased by $435,937 (or 54%) to $1,246,701 in Fiscal 2021 from $810,764 in Fiscal 2020 primarily due to the acquisition of the Lubbock Facility. Our gross profits increased to $7,607,264 from $3,736,872 for Fiscal 2021 and Fiscal 2020, respectively, by $3,870,392 (or 104%). Our gross margins increased to 86% from 82%, driven by increased efficiencies in purchasing food and beverages and improved sales performance incentives for employees.

 

Total operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2021 increased to $6,427,854 from $3,778,474 for the year ended December 31, 2020, an increase of 2,649,380 (70%). The acquisition of the Lubbock Facility accounted for approximately $1,817,000 of the Fiscal 2021 operating expenses.

 

The primary drivers of the increase were:

 

·An increase of $1,157,707 in employee related costs (including salaries, employees and taxes) due to related to the labor costs associated with the Lubbock acquisition; and
·An increase  of $297,687 in equipment and repairs and gaming and software costs due to the additional expenses from the Lubbock acquisition. This expense is largely comprised of net repairs and gaming software licenses.

 

Income from Covid 19 relief programs amounted to $1,404,856 for Fiscal 2021 compared to $893,400 for Fiscal 2020. The Covid 19 relief programs included: (i) PPP loan forgiveness in the amount of $1,073,100 for Fiscal 2021 compared to $893,400 for Fiscal 2020 and an (ii) Employee retention credit in the amount of $331,756 for Fiscal 2021. The employee retention credit was not available in Fiscal 2020.

 

Other income (expense) includes depreciation and amortization, interest expense, management fees to Parent Company, Regulation A share sale costs, and other income. Notably, depreciation and amortization increased $798,403 to $1,104,196 for Fiscal 2021 compared to $395,793 for Fiscal 2020. Interest expenses increased $383,445 to $644,222 for Fiscal 2021 compared to $260,777 for Fiscal 2020. For the first time, the company paid a management fee to the Parent Company in the amount of $667,036 for Fiscal 2021. Regulation A share sale costs increased $69,804 from $915,938 for Fiscal 2020 compared to $$985,742 for Fiscal 2021.  

 

As a result of the foregoing, the company generated a net loss for Fiscal 2021 in the amount of $697,690 compared to a net loss for Fiscal 2020 in the amount of $684,513.

Trends

 

GolfSuites participates in the recreational sporting and entertainment facilities market. It believes this market to be young, fast-growing and under-served. This market overlaps three growing, highly profitable markets: the golf market, the recreation/sporting entertainment sector and the food and beverage portion of the hospitality industry. GolfSuites competes for revenues from customer spending in each of these three sectors. Since money spent in those sectors is discretionary income, the company believes it is reliant on economic trends in the United States.

 

COVID-19 pandemic has had an impact on the company’s plans and the operation of its facilities. For instance, while social distancing is still required, the Tulsa Facility and the Lubbock Facility have to limit the number of potential customers and limit their ability to function at capacity. However, due to the open air nature of our facilities, the limitations have been less restrictive than other sporting and entertainment facilities. To date, there have been limited restrictions on construction, so the company has been able to continue the rebranding of the Tulsa Facility and plan for the rebranding of the Lubbock Facility. In addition, the opening of the Baton Rouge Facility has been delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we anticipate opening the facility in Q2 2022.

 

Since December 31, 2021:

 

  Upon termination of the Regulation A Offering in February 2022, GolfSuites 1 sold a total of $3,391,706 of Preferred Stock, pursuant to the Regulation A offering.

 

  On August 16, 2021 GolfSuites Baton Rouge, the company and Shelchar Challa (the “Purchaser”) entered into an Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “MIP Agreement”). Pursuant to this MIP Agreement, the Purchaser intends to contribute $600,000 as an initial capital contribution. As of February 28, 2022, GolfSuites Baton Rouge has received the full $600,000. Under this agreement, the Purchaser will share in the profits of the Baton Rouge Facility.

SECURITIES BEING OFFERED

 

GolfSuites is offering Preferred Stock in this offering. The Preferred Stock may be converted into the Common Stock of the company at the discretion of each investor, or automatically upon the occurrence of certain events, like an initial public offering. As such, the company is qualifying up to 2,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock and up to 2,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock under this Offering Statement, of which this Offering Circular is part.

 

GolfSuites authorized capital stock consists of 200,000,000 shares of capital stock, of which 150,000,000 shares are designated Common Stock (the “Common Stock”), at $0.00001 par value, of which 132,000,000 shares are Class A Common Stock (“Class A Common Stock”) and 18,000,000 shares are Class B Common Stock (“Class B Common Stock”) and 50,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, at $0.00001 par value, of which 10,000,000 shares are Class A Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock” or “Class A Preferred Stock”). Class A Common Stock has the same rights and powers of, ranks equally to, shares ratably with and is identical in all respects, and as to all matters to Class B Common Stock; except that each holder of Class B Common Stock is entitled to 5 votes per share of Class B Common Stock whereas each holder of Class A Common Stock is entitled to only 1 vote per share of Class A Common Stock. The company may issue fractions of shares.

 

The following is a summary of the rights of GolfSuites capital stock as provided in its Certificate of Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation, Certificate of Incorporation, Certificate of Designations, and Bylaws, which have been filed as exhibits to the Offering Statement of which this Offering Circular forms a part.

 

For a complete description of GolfSuites capital stock, you should refer to its Certificate of Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation, Certificate of Incorporation, Certificate of Designations and Bylaws, and applicable provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law.

 

Class A Common Stock

 

Voting Rights.

 

Each holder of GolfSuites Class A Common Stock is entitled to one vote for each share on all matters submitted to a vote of the shareholders. Holders of Class A Common Stock at all times shall vote together with the holders of Class B Common Stock and Class A Preferred Stock as a single class on all matters (including the election of directors) submitted to vote or for the consent of the stockholders of GolfSuites.

 

Class B Common Stock

 

Voting Rights.

 

Each holder of GolfSuites Class B Common Stock is entitled to five votes for each share on all matters submitted to a vote of the shareholders. Holders of Class B Common Stock at all times shall vote together with the holders of Class A Common Stock and Class A Preferred Stock as a single class on all matters (including the election of directors) submitted to vote or for the consent of the stockholders of GolfSuites.

 

Conversion Rights.

 

Each share of Class B Common Stock is convertible into one share of Class A Common Stock at the option of the holder at any time upon written notice to GolfSuites.

 

All Classes of Common Stock

 

Dividends.

 

Subject to preferences that may be applicable to any then outstanding class of capital stock having prior rights to dividends (including the company’s Class A Preferred Stock), shareholders of GolfSuites Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock are entitled to receive dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by the board of directors out of legally-available funds. Any dividends in excess of dividends payable to holders of the Class A Preferred Stock, will be paid ratably among the holders of Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock and Class A Preferred Stock on an as-converted basis. GolfSuites has never declared nor paid cash dividends on any of its capital stock and currently does not anticipate paying any cash dividends after this offering or in the foreseeable future on its Common Stock.

 

46

 

 

Liquidation Rights.

 

In the event of GolfSuites liquidation, dissolution or winding up, holders of GolfSuites Class A and Class B Common Stock will be entitled to share ratably in the net assets legally available for distribution to stockholders after the payment of all of GolfSuites debts and other liabilities and the satisfaction of any liquidation preference granted to holders of Class A Preferred Stock; however if the amount that the holders of Class A Preferred Stock would receive based on the pro rata percentage of the proceeds calculated based on the number of shares owned by each investor on an “as converted to Common Stock” basis is greater than the then applicable liquidation preference available to Class A Preferred Stock, the holders of Class A Preferred Stock, Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock will receive that amount.

 

Other Rights.

 

Holders of GolfSuites Class A and Class B Common Stock have no preemptive, subscription or other rights, and there is no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to GolfSuites Class A or Class B Common Stock.

 

Preferred Stock

 

Voting Rights

 

Each holder of GolfSuites Preferred Stock is entitled to one vote for each share on all matters submitted to a vote of the shareholders. Holders of Preferred Stock at all times shall vote together with holders of the Common Stock as a single class on all matters (including the election of directors) submitted to vote or for the consent of the stockholders of GolfSuites.

 

Dividends

 

Each share of Preferred Stock is entitled to cumulative dividends which shall accrue, whether or not declared by the Board and whether or not there are funds legally available for the payment of dividends, on a daily basis in arrears at the rate of 8% per annum on the sum of the invested amount sum plus all unpaid accrued and accumulated dividends thereon. The dividends will be paid monthly

 

In the event the company declares a dividend distribution to the Common Stockholders, all Preferred Stockholders will receive their pro rata share.

 

Liquidation preference

 

In the event of a liquidation, investors will be entitled to receive the greater of their total investment amount in the shares of Preferred Stock and any accrued and unpaid dividends or their pro rata percentage of the proceeds calculated based on the number of shares owned by each investor on an “as converted to Common Stock” basis.

 

Conversion

 

The Preferred Stock is convertible into the Class A Common Stock of the company as provided by Section 5 of the Certificate of Designations. Each share of Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any time after the date of issuance of such share into that number of fully-paid, nonassessable shares of Class A Common Stock determined by dividing the Conversion Price (defined therein), as adjusted for any accrued and unpaid dividends, by the original purchase price. The Conversion Price is the original purchase price, adjusted from time to time as described below under “Anti-Dilution Rights”.

 

Holders of the Preferred Stock may convert their shares of Preferred Stock into Common Stock in their sole discretion. In the event of a Qualified Public Offering, as defined in the Certificate of Designations conversion of the Preferred Stock is mandatory.

 

47

 

 

Anti-Dilution Rights

 

Holders of Preferred Stock have the benefit of anti-dilution protective provisions that will be applied to adjust the number of shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the shares of the Preferred Stock. If equity securities are subsequently issued by the company at a price per share less than the conversion price of the Preferred Stock then in effect, the conversion price of the Preferred Stock will be adjusted using a broad-based, weighted-average adjustment formula as set out in the Certificate of Designations.

 

These terms generally provide that if the company issues certain additional shares of Common Stock (as detailed in the Certificate of Designations) without consideration or for a consideration per share less than the Conversion Price, in effect on the date of and immediately prior to such issue, then, the Conversion Price will be reduced. The new Conversion Price will be the amount equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the (i) the sum of (A) the number of shares of Common Stock deemed outstanding prior to such issuance (as determined on an as-converted basis) times the Conversion Price then in effect with (B) the consideration, if any, from that issuances by (ii) the sum of (A) the number of shares of Common Stock deemed outstanding prior to such issuance (a determined on an as-converted basis) plus the number of such additional shares of Common Stock so issued.

 

Other Rights

 

Holders of GolfSuites Preferred Stock have no preemptive, subscription or other rights, and there is no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to its’ Preferred Stock.

 

All Classes of Stock

 

Forum Selection Provisions

 

Article VII of the Certificate of Incorporation contain exclusive forum provisions. With a few exceptions, the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware will be the sole and exclusive forum for any holder of GolfSuites Class A and Class B Common Stock (including a beneficial owner) to bring (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on the company’s behalf, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer or other employee, (iii) any action asserting a claim against the company, its directors, officers or employees arising pursuant to any provision of the Delaware General Corporation Law or the Corporation’s certificate of amendment to the certificate of incorporation, the certificate of incorporation or bylaws or (iv) any action asserting a claim against the company, its directors, officers or employees governed by the internal affairs doctrine.  These sections shall not apply to actions arising under the federal securities laws.

 

Section 6 of the subscription agreement (which appears as an exhibit to the Offering Statement of which this Offering Circular forms a part) provides that the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware is the exclusive forum for all actions or proceedings relating to the subscription agreement. However, this exclusive forum provision does not apply to actions arising under the federal securities laws.

 

Jury Trial Waiver

 

The Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware is a non-jury trial court. The parties in any lawsuits where the forum selection provisions are applicable will not be entitled to a jury.

 

Moreover, holders of Shares of Class A Preferred Stock as well as holders of Class A Common Stock converted from Class A Preferred Stock will be bound by the subscription agreement, which 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 subscription agreement, including any claim under federal securities laws. If the company 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.

 

48

 

 

Tax Treatment of Dividends

 

The 8% dividends will likely be treated as a corporate distribution on equity. Corporate distributions on equity are not deductible to the corporation but are generally taxable to the shareholder, subject to various exceptions and limitations. The distributions made pursuant to the Preferred Stock dividend provisions will be taxable as dividends to shareholders only to the extent of current and accumulated earnings and profits.  To the extent the company does not have current and accumulated earnings and profits, the distributions will be treated as a non-taxable return of capital to the extent of the shareholder’s adjusted basis. If distributions still exceed the amount of adjusted basis, such excess would be considered as capital gains income to the shareholder, who will generally be subject to federal (and possibly state) income tax on such gains at a rate that depends upon the shareholder’s holding period with respect to the shares in question, among other factors. Since the tax treatment of any distributions may vary according to the financial performance of the company, as well as the particular circumstances of the investor, investors should consult their own tax advisers, and should further not assume that the distributions will be subject to the same tax treatment from year to year.

 

These amounts will be reported to shareholders on Form 1099-DIV each year as part of their investment reporting package.

 

49

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

 

April 1, 2022

 

To:      Board of Directors, GolfSuites 1, Inc.

 

Re:      2021 Consolidated Financial Statement audit

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of GolfSuites 1, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”), which comprise the balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the related statements of loss and comprehensive loss, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the calendar year periods ended 2021 and 2020, and the related notes to such consolidated financial statements.

 

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

 

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

 

Auditor’s Responsibility

 

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit of the Company’s financial statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

 

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations, shareholder equity and its cash flows for the calendar years thus ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in the notes to the financial statements, the Company has stated that substantial doubt exists about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's evaluation of the events and conditions and management's plans regarding these matters are also described in the Notes to the financial statements. 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.

GolfSuites 1, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

As of December 31, 2021 and 2020

See accompanying Independent Auditor's report

 

 

NOTE 1 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS

 

GolfSuites 1, Inc. (which may be referred to as “GS 1”, the “Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) is an early-stage company devoted to the development and operation of golf driving range and entertainment centers in the United States. The Company will operate under the brand GOLFSUITES. The Company will oversee the acquisition of land, zoning, entitlement, design, construction and operation of the planned facilities.

 

The Company owns 100% of GolfSuites Tulsa, LLC ("Tulsa") and 100% of GolfSuites Lubbock, LLC (“Lubbock”). Tulsa was formerly operated under the FlyingTee brand, but now operates under the GolfSuites brand. Lubbock was formerly operated under the 4ORE! Golf brand, but now operates under 4ORE! Golf-Powered By GolfSuites brand, and will change to usage of the GolfSuites brand later in 2022. The attached statement of operations includes the operations of Tulsa for 2021 and 2020, and Lubbock since the acquisition date in mid-August 2020. Minority interest in the 2020 loss of Lubbock has been reflected in the attached statements due to GS 1’s partial ownership of Lubbock from mid-August through mid-November 2020, when it took over 100% ownership.

 

On March 16, 2021 GS 1 formed GolfSuites Baton Rouge, LLC (“Baton Rouge”), a Louisiana limited liability company for the purpose of leasing an approximate 18-acre existing driving range that had been closed for operations. This site will be developed at an estimated total cost of

 

$1,500,000. Upon completion it will operate as a 40-bay facility offering the same services as Tulsa and Lubbock. The expected completion of development and opening of Baton Rouge is early spring of 2022. Funding for this site is being provided by GS 1’s Reg A share sales, private equity investment, advances from GolfSuites, Inc. (“GolfSuites”) (parent company), and positive operating cash flows from existing operations. Minority interest in the loss of Baton Rouge has been reflected in the attached statements due to the allocation of the entire 2021 loss to the private equity investor. As of December 31, 2021, the private equity investor has invested $400,000 of his total commitment of $600,000.

 

Securities Offering

 

On January 8, 2021 the Company re-filed its Reg A offering. The company was qualified by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 18, 2021 and began selling the securities. The Company engaged with various advisors and other professionals to facilitate the offering who are being paid customary fees and equity interests for their work.

 

NOTE 2 - 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 has adopted December 31 as the year end for reporting purposes.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the footnotes thereto. Actual results could differ from those estimates. It is reasonably possible that changes in estimates will occur in the near term.

 

F-8

 

Risks and Uncertainties

 

The Company has a limited operating history. The Company's business and operations are sensitive to general business and economic conditions in the United States. A host of factors beyond the Company's control could cause fluctuations in these conditions. Adverse conditions may include: recession, economic downturn, local competition or changes in consumer taste. These adverse conditions could affect the Company's financial condition and the results of its operations. As of December 31, 2021, the Company is operating as a going concern.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, at the time of purchase, to be cash equivalents. Cash consists of currency held in the Company’s checking accounts. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, GS 1’s consolidated cash balances totaled $674,144 and $538,519, respectively.

 

Receivables and Credit Policy

 

Trade receivables from customers are uncollateralized customer obligations due under normal trade terms, primarily requiring payment before services are rendered. Trade receivables are stated at the amount billed to the customer. Payments of trade receivables are allocated to the specific invoices identified on the customer’s remittance advice or, if unspecified, are applied to the earliest unpaid invoice. The Company, by policy, routinely assesses the financial strength of its customer. As a result, the Company believes that its accounts receivable credit risk exposure is limited and it has not experienced significant write-downs in its accounts receivable balances. Balances due from credit card companies are included in accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2021, accounts receivable includes $331,756 related to Employee Retention Credits – see Note 9 for additional details.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Expenditures for renewals and improvements that significantly add to the productive capacity or extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. When equipment is retired or sold, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the balance sheet accounts and the resultant gain or loss is reflected in income.

 

Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method, based on useful lives of the assets. Depreciation for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 totaled $713,571 and $258,670, respectively.

 

The Company reviews the carrying value of property and equipment for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable from the estimated future cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. In cases where undiscounted expected future cash flows are less than the carrying value, an impairment loss is recognized equal to an amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of assets. The factors considered by management in performing this assessment include current operating results, trends and prospects, the manner in which the property is used, and the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition, and other economic factors. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, net property, plant and equipment consisted of the following:

 

   2021   2020 
By Asset Category:          
Land and building improvements  $6,867,239   $6,867,239 
Furniture, fixtures and equipment   3,742,864    3,524,920 
Construction in progress   650,241    - 
Acumulated depreciation   (2,630,573)   (1,917,002)
Total  $8,629,771   $8,475,157 
Net Book Value By Entity:          
Tulsa  $624,764   $534,946 
Lubbock   7,354,766    7,940,211 
Baton Rouge   650,241    - 
Total  $8,629,771   $8,475,157 

 

F-9

 

 

Capitalized Development Costs

 

The Company has capitalized development fees under contractual agreements with its parent company, GolfSuites. These costs totaled $666,214 as of December 31, 2021 and are not amortized for GAAP purposes.

 

Goodwill

 

The Company has recorded Goodwill related to the acquisition of its Tulsa and Lubbock golf operating entities in 2019 and 2020 respectively. Management has reviewed the amounts recorded as Goodwill in accordance with ASC 350-20-35-3C and has determined that the fair values of Tulsa and Lubbock are greater than carrying values, including Goodwill. Therefore, no impairment losses were recorded for 2021 or 2020. Following is a summary of the Goodwill values for Tulsa and Lubbock.

 

   Tulsa   Lubbock   Total 
Acquisition cost  $1,019,878   $1,550,517   $2,570,395 
Value of assets and liabilities acquired   160,118    661,022    821,140 
Goodwill  $859,760   $889,495   $1,749,255 

 

Income Taxes

 

Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reporting in the financial statements and consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes related primarily to differences between the basis of receivables, inventory, property and equipment, intangible assets, cryptocurrency valuation and accrued expenses for financial and income tax reporting. The deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax return consequences of those differences, which will either be taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

 

The Company is taxed as a C Corporation for federal and state income tax purposes. As the Company has recently been formed, no material tax provision exists as of the balance sheet date.

 

The Company evaluates its tax positions that have been taken or are expected to be taken on income tax returns to determine if an accrual is necessary for uncertain tax positions. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020 the Company had no uncertain tax positions requiring accruals.

 

The Company is current with its foreign, US federal and state income tax filing obligations and is not currently under examination from any taxing authority.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

In 2019, the Company adopted ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, as of inception. There was no transition adjustment recorded upon the adoption of ASC 606. Under ASC 606, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services.

 

To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that an entity determines are within the scope of ASC 606, the Company performs the following steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. At contract inception, once the contract is determined to be within the scope of ASC 606, the Company assesses the goods or services promised within each contract and determines those that are performance obligations and assesses whether each promised good or service is distinct. The Company then recognizes as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied.

 

F-10

 

Advertising Expenses

 

The Company expenses advertising costs as they are incurred.

 

Organizational Costs

 

In accordance with GAAP, organizational costs, including accounting fees, legal fees, and costs of incorporation, are expensed as incurred.

 

Development & Management Fees

 

Pursuant to a Management Services Agreement (“MSA”) that exists between GolfSuites and GS 1, fees for development and management of assets are due and paid from GS 1 to GolfSuites. GS 1 pays 3% of the total cost of new assets acquired or developed as development fees on its facilities to GolfSuites, and it pays 4% of gross operating revenue as management fees to GolfSuites. Management fees are reflected on the GS 1 Statement of Operations – Other income (expense). Development fees are reflected on the Consolidated Balance Sheet of GS 1.

 

Earnings per Share

 

Earnings per share amounts are calculated based on the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding in each year. The basic loss per share is based only on the weighted-average of common shares outstanding. The diluted loss per share is based on the weighted-average of common shares outstanding plus Class A preferred shares, which are convertible to one share of common stock.

 

Common and Preferred Share Sales and Affiliated Costs

 

GS 1 collected $2,126,084 in preferred share sales in 2021. The Company paid $985,742 in costs including direct compensation, platform facilitating, marketing, share issuance / administration, and advertising for the sale of such shares, accounting for an approximate 46.4% cost ratio. Accounting for approximately $150,000 of costs incurred in the current year for prior years’ share sales, the adjusted cost ratio approximates 39.3%.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

The Company maintains its cash with major financial institutions located in the United States of America, which it believes to be credit worthy. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insures balances up to $250,000. At times, the Company may maintain balances in excess of the federally insured limits. Management believes the risk of loss is minimal.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In February 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases, that require organizations that lease assets, referred to as "lessees", to recognize on the balance sheet the assets and liabilities for the

 

rights and obligations created by those leases with lease terms of more than 12 months. ASU 2016- 02 will also require disclosures to help investors and other financial statement users better understand the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases and will include qualitative and quantitative requirements. The new standard for nonpublic entities became effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and early application is permitted. The Company implemented ASU No. 2016-02 for lease accounting for 2020.

 

The FASB issues ASUs to amend the authoritative literature in ASC. There have been a number of ASUs to date, including those above, that amend the original text of ASC. Management believes that those issued to date either (i) provide supplemental guidance, (ii) are technical corrections,

 

(iii) are not applicable to us or (iv) are not expected to have a significant impact our balance sheet.

 

NOTE 3 – INCOME TAX PROVISION

 

As described above, the Company was recently formed and has incurred costs of its start-up operations, capital raising, and seeking to bring operations to positions of profitability. As such, no material tax provision yet exists.

 

NOTE 4 – NOTES PAYABLE

 

Notes payable consists of the following debt instruments as of December 31, 2021 and 2020.

NOTE 5 – RIGHT OF USE ASSETS & CAPITALIZED LEASE OBLIGATIONS

 

Tulsa, Lubbock and Baton Rouge lease land and/or buildings for each of the facilities. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, the right of use assets are reflected in the attached balance sheet at the present value of future lease payments, as are the related lease liabilities, over the term of the respective leases.

 

No payments were required under the Tulsa lease until August 2020. Therefore, no amortization or interest was recorded until lease payments began in August 2020, by mutual agreement of the lessor and Tulsa. Lubbock assumed the lease, of land that began prior to acquisition, on August 19, 2020. The present value of future lease payments was recorded at the acquisition date. Baton Rouge entered into a lease for land beginning March 1, 2021. The lease is for five years and Baton

 

Rouge has the option to extend the lease for two additional five year terms. The present value of future lease payments, based on a 15 year lease, was recorded as of the lease inception.

 

The discount rate used in each of the present value calculations above is 4.000%, the incremental borrowing rate for Tulsa, Lubbock and Baton Rouge. The right of use assets are amortized straight-line over the life of each lease.

 

The table below provides a summary of the capitalized leases as of December 31, 2021.

 

   Tulsa   Lubbock   Baton Rouge   Total 
Lease end date  07/31/2050   10/31/2038   02/29/2036

NOTE 7 – EQUITY

 

The Company has authorized 132,000,000 shares of Class A common stock and 18,000,000 of Class B common stock, each with a par value of $0.00001 per share. As of December 31, 2021 there are no issued or outstanding shares of Class A common stock, and all Class B common stock is issued, outstanding, and held by GolfSuites, the Company’s parent company. In addition, the Company has authorized 10,000,000 shares of Class A preferred stock and 40,000,000 of other preferred stock. As of December 31, 2021, 540,503 shares of Class A preferred stock have been issued and outstanding, and no other preferred stock is issued or outstanding. Class A preferred stock is convertible into Class A common stock. See the Consolidated Statement of Stockholders’ Equity (Deficit) for details of activity for each equity component.

 

Class A common stockholders are entitled to a single vote per share and have equal dividend and liquidation preferences as Class B common stockholders. Class B common stockholders have five votes per share and shares of Class B common stock can be converted into shares of Class A common stock at the option of the holder. Class A preferred stockholders are entitled to a single vote per share and to an 8 percent annual dividend, which will accrue if funds are not legally available to distribute, in addition to a liquidation preference. Shares of Class A preferred stock can be converted into shares of Class A common stock at the option of the holder and shares will be automatically converted in the event of a qualified public offering, as defined in the certificate of incorporation, as amended.

 

NOTE 8 – RELATED PARY TRANSACTIONS

 

The Company has received working capital from its parent entity to cover expenses and costs while preparing for the securities offering. The balance of these advances at December 31, 2021 and 2020 totaled $2,143,058 and $1,691,239, respectively. In addition, the Company received advances from shareholders of the parent entity. The balance of these parent entity shareholder advances totaled $933,317 and $1,113,517, respectively as of December 31, 2021 and 2020. These advances are recorded as liabilities of the Company. The Company has formalized some of these borrowings but expects to repay all of these amounts whether a formal promissory note exists or not. The agreements are between related parties.

NOTE 9 – PPP LOAN FORGIVENESS & EMPLOYEE RETENTION CREDITS

 

PPP Loan Forgiveness

 

Tulsa and Lubbock obtained PPP loans under each of the two rounds of government loan funding. The first PPP loans were funded in 2020 and forgiven in the first quarter of 2021, prior to the issuance of the 2020 consolidated financial statements. Therefore, forgiveness of these loans was reflected in the consolidated financial statements for 2020. The second round of PPP loans were funded in the first quarter of 2021. The Company received official notice of the forgiveness of these loans in the summer of 2021; forgiveness of the loans is reflected in the 2021 consolidated financial statements. Following is a summary of the PPP loan forgiveness recognized by Tulsa and Lubbock.

 

   Tulsa   Lubbock   Total
