THE COMPANY AND ITS BUSINESS

 

Overview

 

Elf Labs is a media company that owns the copyrights to the Junior Elf books, which contain some of the most notable IP in the children’s entertainment space. This includes characters such as Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, Cinderella, The Little Mermaid, and Rapunzel. The company works to leverage these assets by integrating these renowned characters into fresh entertainment content across a series of different verticals, including animated series, mobile games, licensing and merchandising, interactive web content, and more. The Issuer is incorporated in Delaware and operates its business in California.

 

Business Plan

 

Elf Labs’ primary focus is on growing and using its library of copyrights and trademarks in order to create strong, immersive content for its audience. The issuer plans to utilize their existing copyrights to produce children’s entertainment content and merchandise featuring their characters. These revenue streams include original animated series, mobile games, interactive web content, as well as licensing fees and merchandise sales. The company is currently working to establish these channels, and has confidence in their ability to quickly grow due to the popularity of the characters within their portfolio.

 

The issuer is currently in the process of developing new animated series based on these characters in collaboration with Snowball Studios with a goal of selling or licensing the show to existing content hosting companies, or selling the product directly to consumers on existing platforms such as YouTube. The issuer is also working to develop content through additional mediums, such as an interactive website and mobile games. Elf Labs has secured partnerships with technology providers that allow for the efficient production and marketing of its content and characters at a cost that is below what the competitors in the space incur.

 

Elf Labs looks to go to market with an initial push of its original series along with exclusive merchandise and web content featuring these fresh interpretations of these classic characters. This strategy will begin with the release of Robo Stars, a robot and science fiction twist on the traditional fairy tale characters, before progressing into further developments of the IP. This push is intended to disrupt the traditional entertainment industry model by appealing directly to consumers through hosting platforms such as YouTube, while still potentially licensing the content to appear on other entertainment platforms. This widespread effort will have the purpose of establishing the Elf Labs brand and characters and creating a large, invested audience that will be interested in future Elf Labs content and characters.

 

As the issuer scales its operations and produces more content, it intends to monetize all the different media creation channels open to it. This includes developing further animated series, web content, and games based on more characters from its IP library, as well as the licensing and merchandising of these characters to generate direct revenue through sales.

 

Competitors and Market

 

Major competitors in this space are other family-focused animated entertainment producers. These include major studios such as Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network Elf Labs’ advantage in this area is their valuable IP library that contains some of the most recognized and marketable characters in animation, as well as technology partners that allow the Company to leverage these characters by building immersive experiences across multiple media channels. These competitors are also found operating in the other verticals that the issuer is pursuing business in, such as family-friendly immersive web content, sales of children’s merchandise, and child-appropriate mobile games.

Perks

 

Tier-Based Perks

 

Investors in this Offering will have the ability to earn bonus shares of the company’s Class B Common Stock. The percentage of bonus shares available to an investor will change based on how many shares have already been issued through the Offering. The below table indicates the available bonuses percentages for the amount of cumulative shares issued:

 

Bonus Tier   Time Period   Bonus Shares
Private Live   First one (1) to fourteen (14) days   20%
Bonus Tier 1   First fifteen (15) to twenty-eight (28) days   15%
Bonus Tier 2   First twenty-nine (29) to forty-two (42) days   10%
Bonus Tier 3   First forty-three (43) to fifty-six (56) days   5%

 

38
 

 

Notes on Bonus Tiers:

 

The Private Live bonuses begin on the SEC Accepted Date.

 

a)All time periods begin at the conclusion of the previous period and end at 11:59pm eastern time (3:59 am Coordinated Universal Time (“UTC”)). By way of example, “Private Live” begins on the SEC Accepted Date and ends at 11:59pm eastern time fourteen days later.

 

b)The Company is not issuing partial shares. Any calculation of bonus shares to be issued, whose product reflects the issuance of a partial share, will be rounded down, to the nearest whole share and issued to the Purchaser at the close of the Offering.

 

Volume-Based Perks

 

Investors in this Offering can also earn bonus shares if they invest above a certain dollar amount. The below table indicates the available bonus percentages:

 

Dollar Amount   Shares   Bonus Shares  

Non-Equity Perks

$2,000 or more   1,000 or more   5%    
$5,000 or more   2,500 or more   10%    
$10,000 or more   5,000 or more   15%    
$25,000 or more   12,500 or more   20%   Personalized Animation Message and invitation to an exclusive investor meetings
$100,000 or more   50,000 or more   40%    
$250,000 or more   125,000 or more   40%   Executive Producer credit on one Elf Labs Production

 

Repeat Investor Perks

 

Investors can also earn 10% bonus shares if they invest multiple times in this Offering.

 

Webinar Investor Perks

 

Investors who attend any one of up to five webinars will earn an additional 5% bonus shares. Attending a webinar means spending at least 10 percent of the total time in the webinar, to be considered earning the 5% bonus shares. To find available scheduled webinars that qualify for this please look at the schedule on the landing page elflabs.com, and the schedules will be promoted via email to any investor who provided their name and email as part of the subscription process

 

Mid-Campaign Time-Based Perks

 

Investors who complete their investment between the SEC accepted date and August 28th at 11:59 PM PT will earn an additional 5% bonus shares.

 

Investors who complete their investment between September 20th at 12:01 AM PT (07:01 am Coordinated Universal Time (“UTC”) and September 27th at 11:59 PM PT (06:59 am Coordinated Universal Time (“UTC” on the next day) will earn an additional 5% bonus shares.

 

Volume-based perks do not stack with time-based perks in this round. If someone invests and is eligible for both a time-based and volume-based perk, they will receive the greater of the two bonuses. The repeat investor perk does stack with both time-based and volume-based perks. The webinar perk does not stack with any of the other perks offered. This makes 50% the highest available bonus % for an investor, which could be earned if an existing investor in the round invests $100,000 or more as their second investment.

 

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 more risky than more developed companies. You should consider general risks as well as specific risks when deciding whether to invest.

 

We are expanding into content creation, a field in which we have limited experience

 

As we look to capitalize on the strength of our characters and develop ourselves as a new brand, we are working to develop content across several media platforms. While we have successfully leveraged our existing copyrights to generate revenue through licensing fees, content creation is a new field for us, and comes with the potential for unforeseen challenges as we work to develop our original series, website, and mobile game applications.

Our products are in development and have not yet been completed

 

Our development of new media featuring our characters is currently in development and has not been completed. There is the risk of unforeseen delays to production slowing down our timeline, which can delay our path to profitability. These same risks exist as we work to develop our website and mobile gaming applications as well.

 

We may need to raise additional capital, which might not be available or might be available only on terms unfavorable to us or our investors.

 

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

 

We rely on a small management team to execute our business plan, and may be required to raise additional capital in order to continue to develop our technology and continue to scale our platform.

 

Our senior management team is currently small and consists of only two members, David and Billy Phillips. CEO David Phillips’s and Chairman Billy Phillips’ experience and connections in the entertainment industry are vital for us to both grow as a company and to raise funds. Without them, we would struggle to navigate the industry and expand our product and licensing library. Additionally, we rely on David and Billy to help raise funds for the Company until we are generating significant revenue to cover our costs and growth plans. As we continue to grow and scale our product, we might be required to raise debt or equity financing in order to develop our platform and effectively scale our product to meet demand.

 

We are relying on the existing strength of our IP to attract consumers to our products

 

We are reliant on how much our characters resonate with the global audience. While this is a reasonable assumption, shifts in perceptions of these characters, which is a factor outside of the control of the company, could potentially have a negative impact on the strength and attractiveness of our products and our character library to consumers.

 

Our failure to attract and retain highly qualified personnel in the future could harm our business.

 

As the Company grows, it will be required to hire and attract additional qualified professionals such as software engineers, machine learning experts, project managers, regulatory professionals, sales and marketing professionals, accounting, legal, and finance experts. The Company may not be able to locate or attract qualified individuals for such positions, which will affect the Company’s ability to grow and expand its business.

 

Risks Related to the Securities in this Offering

 

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

 

There is no formal marketplace for the resale of any of the Company’s Common Stock. Shares of Common Stock may be traded on the over-the-counter market to the extent any demand exists. Investors should assume that they may not be able to liquidate their investment for some time or be able to pledge their shares as collateral. The Company currently has no plans to list any of its shares on any OTC or similar exchange.

 

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

 

40
 

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Using a credit card to purchase shares may impact the return on your investment as well as subject you to other risks inherent in this form of payment.

 

Investors in this offering have the option of paying for their investment with a credit card, which is not usual in the traditional investment markets. Transaction fees charged by your credit card company (which can reach 5% of transaction value if considered a cash advance) and interest charged on unpaid card balances (which can reach almost 25% in some states) add to the effective purchase price of the shares you buy. See “Plan of Distribution and Selling Securityholders.” The cost of using a credit card may also increase if you do not make the minimum monthly card payments and incur late fees. Using a credit card is a relatively new form of payment for securities and will subject you to other risks inherent in this form of payment, including that, if you fail to make credit card payments (e.g. minimum monthly payments), you risk damaging your credit score and payment by credit card may be more susceptible to abuse than other forms of payment. Moreover, where a third-party payment processor is used, as in this offering, your recovery options in the case of disputes may be limited. The increased costs due to transaction fees and interest may reduce the return on your investment.

 

The SEC’s Office of Investor Education and Advocacy issued an Investor Alert dated February 14, 2018 entitled: Credit Cards and Investments – A Risky Combination, which explains these and other risks you may want to consider before using a credit card to pay for your investment.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and the related notes included in this Offering Memorandum.

 

Operating Results

 

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, the Company had revenues of $386,206 compared to the year ended December 31, 2022, when the Company had revenues of $192,030. This increase in revenue was due to the sale of shares.

 

43
 

 

The Company’s gross margin was 1% in the fiscal year of 2023, compared to -32.7% in 2022. This change was due to increased revenues from financing activities in 2023.

 

In 2023, the Company recognized $854,757 in operating expenses, as compared to $769,729 in operating expenses for 2022. This is due to an increase in expenses related to professional services.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of December 31, 2022, the Company had cash on hand of $187,567.

 

As of December 31, 2023, the Company had cash on hand of $846,579

 

This change is due to an increase in cash as the result of securing additional financing for the company in 2023.

 

As of February 29, 2024, the Company had cash on hand of $658,598.

 

With a current burn rate of $80,000 per month, the company can currently operate for approximately seven more months before securing additional financing.

 

The Company currently has no other sources of capital beyond revenue from operations and planned equity financing rounds.

 

Plan of Operations and Milestones

 

The Company is currently working to develop its own original content featuring their copyrighted characters. They plan to make this content available directly to consumers online, while also exploring potential licensing deals with existing streaming platforms. The Company has previously licensed their characters for merchandising efforts and saw that their characters were extremely popular, providing confidence that their story and characters will resonate with audiences.

 

After establishing an initial go to market strategy and developing an audience, the Company plans to expand their efforts both into new mediums and into new characters. This will entail following the initial success of their original animated show with more shows utilizing different characters in the Company’s portfolio, and also producing new content for immersive web experiences, mobile gaming, and exploring new merchandising opportunities.

 

As part of our strategy of growth, we anticipate future rounds of fundraising. These funds will be needed to help market the initial iterations of our product so that they can find an audience and establish our brand. We will also need additional funds to help develop more content and continue growing the company and scaling our operations.

DILUTION

 

Investors should understand the potential for dilution. 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.

 

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 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 2021 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 2022 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 the aggregate total amount 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.

 

Valuation

 

As discussed in “Dilution” above, the valuation of the Company will determine the amount by which the investor’s stake is diluted in the future. 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 immediately diluted because each share of the same type is worth the same amount, and you paid more for your shares than earlier investors did for theirs.

 

46
 

 

There are several ways to value a company, and none of them is perfect and all of them involve a certain amount of guesswork. The same method can produce a different valuation if used by a different person.

 

Liquidation Value — The amount for which the assets of the company can be sold, minus the liabilities owed, e.g., the assets of a bakery include the cake mixers, ingredients, baking tins, etc. The liabilities of a bakery include the cost of rent or mortgage on the bakery. However, this value does not reflect the potential value of a business, e.g., the value of the secret recipe. The value for most startups lies in their potential, as many early-stage companies do not have many assets (they probably need to raise funds through a securities offering in order to purchase some equipment).

 

Book Value — This is based on analysis of the company’s financial statements, usually looking at the company’s balance sheet as prepared by its accountants. However, the balance sheet only looks at costs (i.e., what was paid for the asset), and does not consider whether the asset has increased in value over time. In addition, some intangible assets, such as patents, trademarks or trade names, are very valuable but are not usually represented at their market value on the balance sheet.

 

Earnings Approach — This is based on what the investor will pay (the present value) for what the investor expects to obtain in the future (the future return), taking into account inflation, the lost opportunity to participate in other investments, the risk of not receiving the return. However, predictions of the future are uncertain and valuation of future returns is a best guess.

 

Different methods of valuation produce a different answer as to what your investment is worth. Typically, liquidation value and book value will produce a lower valuation than the earnings approach. However, the earnings approach is also most likely to be risky as it is based on many assumptions about the future, while the liquidation value and book value are much more conservative.

 

Future investors (including people seeking to acquire the company) may value the company differently. They may use a different valuation method, or different assumptions about the company’s business and its market. Different valuations may mean that the value assigned to your investment changes. It frequently happens that when a large institutional investor such as a venture capitalist makes an investment in a company, it values the company at a lower price than the initial investors did. If this happens, the value of the investment will go down.

 

How we determined the offering price
