EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

Bioethics, LTD., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), is in the business of making land acquisitions in areas where we believe there will be relatively high increased population and economic growth. The Company then works to develop the land and, in many cases, may sell some or all of the land prior to completion of the development process.

 

Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

The information contained in Item 2.01 below relating to the various agreements described therein is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

 

THE CONTRIBUTION AGREEMENT AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

 

This section describes the material provisions of the Contribution Agreement (as defined below) but does not purport to describe all of the terms thereof. The following summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Contribution and Subscription Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1. Unless otherwise defined herein, the capitalized terms used below are defined in the Contribution and Subscription Agreement.

 

The Contribution Agreement

 

On December 5, 2019 (the “Closing Date”), the Company consummated the transactions with First Federal Management Group, Inc., a Utah corporation (“First Federal”) by which the parties entered into a Contribution and Subscription Agreement (“Contribution Agreement”).  Pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, First Federal contributed, assigned and transferred to the Company assets consisting substantially of real property (the “Assets”).

 

Property descriptions for the parcels held in fee simple are disclosed on Schedule 1 to the Contribution Agreement. Immediately prior to First Federal entering into the Contribution Agreement the Company, First Federal entered into a contribution agreement with its affiliate Atlanta Income & Asset Group, Inc., a Utah corporation, pursuant to which Atlanta contributed, assigned and transferred to First Federal the same Assets transferred to the Company (the “Asset Transfer”).

 

As part of the Contribution Agreement, First Federal executed a deed transferring the real property Assets from First Federal to the Company. Pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, First Federal contributed, assigned and transferred to the Company the Assets in exchange for the issuance to First Federal of 220,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company (the “Bioethics Common Stock”) representing 95.2% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company (the “Contribution Consideration”)

 

The assets transferred to the Company as part of the Contribution Agreement include:

 

Transfer of Real Property

 

Eagle Mountain/Fairfield.  The Eagle Mountain property is a 240 acre parcel located in Utah County, Utah. The Eagle Mountain property is encumbered by a lien in the amount of approximately $1,120,000 in connection with a loan secured by the Eagle Mountain property and the debt instrument contains a “due-on-sale” or similar rights and are set out in a promissory note, as amended on March 5, 2019 (“Promissory Note”). The Promissory Note principal is $1,000,000, with interest accruing at the rate of 12% per annum. The maturity date of the Promissory Note is January 31, 2020. The Promissory Note is filed as Exhibit 10.6 to this Current Form 8-K. The Promissory Note is secured by a Deed of Trust with Assignment of Leases first recorded January 22, 2019 in the office of the Utah County Recorder and amended on March 5, 2019 to reflect the amendment to the Promissory Note. The Deed of Trust with Assignment of Leases, as amended, is filed as Exhibit 10.7 to this Current Form 8-K. The current outstanding principal and interest balance of the Promissory Note through the January 31, 2020 Maturity Date is


4


approximately $1,120,000. The Company is working to obtain an extension of the terms of the Promissory Note with the note holder, but has not obtain an extension as of the date of the filing of this Form 8-K.

 

Kamas. The Kamas property is a 9 acre property located in Summit County, Utah. It was transferred to the Company free and clear of encumbrances.

 

Rights to Purchase Real Property

 

Eagle Mountain (Two). The Eagle Mountain (Two) property is a 160 acre property located in Utah County, Utah. It is in a separate area of Eagle Mountain from the Eagle Mountain/Fairfield property. Pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, only the rights to purchase the Eagle Mountain (Two) property were transferred to the Company. The contractual purchase price for the 160 acre parcel is $2,448,000. As of the date of this report, the purchase of the Eagle Mountain (Two) property has not occurred. Pursuant to Addendum 1 of the real estate purchase contract, the current final settlement deadline is June 16, 2020 extendable to December 9, 2020, if two due diligence extensions are exercised. Bioethics currently lacks the funds to pay the full $2,448,000 purchase price. As such, there is no assurance that Bioethics will be able to acquire the Eagle Mountain (Two) property and gain the benefit of its purchase rights to the property.

 

Rights to Promissory Notes Receivable

 

$640,000 Promissory Note Receivable from Green Haven Homes, LLC. The $640,000 Note was made by Green Haven Homes, LLC on December 31, 2019. The note was made in connection with a real estate purchase contract that was assigned to the Company as part of the Contribution Agreement wherein real property located in the City of Nibley in Cache County, Utah was sold to Green Haven Homes. The sale closed on December 31, 2019 and resulted in cash proceeds of $397,000 which was used to resolve encumbrances against the property, pay closing costs with approximately $2,500 in cash remaining for Bioethics. In addition to the cash component, the balance of the sales proceeds was paid via a $640,000 promissory note in favor of Bioethics. The interest rate on the Note is 6% per annum. The maturity date is June 15, 2021. The Note is secured by a Trust Deed With Assignment of Leases and Rents which creates liens on the Nibley property. The $640,000 Green Haven Homes Promissory Note is filed as Exhibit 10.8 to this Current Form 8-K.

 

$500,000 Promissory Note Receivable from Geneva Family Assets, LLC. The $500,000 note was made by Geneva Family Assets, LLC on December 2, 2019 and assigned to Bioethics as part of the Contribution Agreement. The interest rate is the minimum applicable annual federal rate. The maturity date is January 1, 2021. The Note is unsecured. Geneva Family Assets, LLC is a Utah limited liability company and owned and controlled by our majority stockholder and affiliate J Simmons. The $500,000 Geneva Family Assets Promissory Note is filed as Exhibit 10.9_to this Current Form 8-K.

 

As used in this Report, unless otherwise stated or the context clearly indicates otherwise, the terms “Registrant,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to the Company, giving effect to the Asset Transfer.

 

This Report contains summaries of the material terms of various agreements executed in connection with the Asset Transfer described herein. The summaries of these agreements are subject to, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to, these agreements, which are filed as exhibits hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

Prior to the Asset Transfer, we were a “shell company” as such term is defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”). As a result of the Asset Transfer, we have ceased to be a “shell company.” The information contained in this Report constitutes the information necessary to satisfy the conditions contained in Rule 144(i)(2) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”).

 

The Asset Transfer will be treated as a “transfer of net assets between entities under common control” for financial accounting purposes. First Federal, the seller of the properties, had control of the properties before selling to the Company, and as a result of the issuance of a majority block of shares in exchange for the properties, First Federal maintains control of the properties subsequent to the transaction.  As such, First Federal purchased a shell company, and therefore is basically moving the assets from its own books over to the Company's books.  In this situation, the properties and associated rights to the properties are transferred over to the Company at their historical cost to First Federal.  There will be a recapitalization because of the stock split and change in control, but the prior year


5


financials will be the Company's, there's no acquisition or reverse acquisition accounting, and no fair market value assessments of the properties.

 

The issuance of Bioethics Common Stock to the Sellers, in connection with the Asset Transfer have not been registered under the Securities Act, in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2), which exempts transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering, and Regulation D and/or Regulation S promulgated by the SEC under that section. These shares may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration.

 

The foregoing description of the Contribution Agreement does not purport to be complete. For further information, please refer to the copy of the Contribution Agreement that is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this Report. There are representations and warranties contained in the Contribution Agreement that were made by the parties to each other as of specific dates. The assertions embodied in these representations and warranties were made solely for purposes of the Contribution Agreement and may be subject to important qualifications and limitations agreed to by the parties in connection with negotiating their terms. Moreover, some representations and warranties may not be accurate or complete as of any specified date because they are subject to a contractual standard of materiality that is different from certain standards generally applicable to shareholders or were used for the purpose of allocating risk between the parties rather than establishing matters as facts. For these reasons, investors should not rely on the representations and warranties in the Contribution Agreement as statements of factual information. 

 

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

Our Corporate History


The Company was incorporated in 1990 as a Nevada corporation. The Company has not yet generated any significant revenues.

 

Since its organization in 1990, and up until the Asset Transfer, the Company was not engaged in active business operations and its activities consisted of its search for and evaluation of potential business opportunities for acquisition or participation by the Company.  During that period, the Company incurred limited operating expenses necessary to maintain its status as a corporation in good standing and incurred expenses in connection with its search for and evaluation of potential business opportunities.  Due to the lack of active operations and the Company’s stated purpose of seeking to acquire a currently unknown business opportunity, the Company was classified as a “shell” company subject to all the risks of a new business together with the substantial risks associated with the search for and acquisition of business opportunities.

 

We currently operate our business from the personal residence of the Company's president in Ogden, Utah.  The Company pays $500 per month for use of this space.

 

Business

 

Due to our acquisition of assets pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, our business model has shifted to purchasing, holding, reselling, and in some cases improving undeveloped real property. We target land acquisitions in areas where we believe there will be relatively high increased population and economic growth. In some cases, we may conduct engineering analysis of the real property parcels that we acquire which may include hydraulic, seismic and other analysis. We may also conduct feasibility studies relating to optimal residential density or, in some case, commercial configuration. Many of the density and configuration decisions are contingent upon local governments’ growth targets. During any attempted improvements to real property parcels that we own, there are a significant number of variables that result from governmental approvals, infrastructural developments, economic conditions, availability of credit and demographic shifts. The process of taking several, or in some cases hundreds, of acres of raw land to the point where home or commercial construction can begin takes years as opposed to months. In some cases, projects could require sewage connections, or even construction of new sewage plants, roads, bridges, water ways and other significant infrastructural improvements to accommodate the number of buildings and new inhabitants.  Projects may require agreements with local governments as to who will bear what percentage of the costs of infrastructural improvements necessary to sustain the population influx. In addition, environmental approvals, construction plans and financing arrangements take significant time.

Our business can be deeply affected by downturns in the commercial real estate and homebuilding industries. The last real estate downturn in the Western U.S., where we operate, was in approximately 2006-2009. The timing and severity of downturns are difficult to predict. A downturn can include significant declines in the demand for new homes, the significant oversupply of homes on the market and the significant reductions in the availability of financing for homebuyers. These downturns also affect demand for commercial properties.

 

Competition

 

Our competitors include established real estate development companies and individuals. Many of our current and potential competitors have longer operating histories and financial, sales, marketing and other resources substantially greater than those we possess. As a result, our competitors may be able to adapt more quickly to changes in the real estate market or to devote greater resources than we can to the sales of our real estate projects. For example, resistance among groups who wish to curb the building development growth in the area where we own real property to preserve the status quo may be more easily offset by larger firms with more resources that can afford larger and perhaps more skilled professional teams to respond to regulatory issues or organizational interference. Such competitors could also attempt to increase their presence in our markets by forming strategic alliances with other competitors. As the market for real estate development has evolved, price competition and ability to purchase prime real estate for development has intensified and is likely to continue to intensify. Such competition could adversely affect our gross profits, margins and results of operations. There can be no assurance that we will be able to compete successfully with existing or new competitors. Most of our competitors have substantially greater financial resources than we have, and they have much larger staffs allowing them to analyze more potential transactions, entitle land more quickly and sell it sooner and for more money.

 

Governmental and Environmental Regulation

 

The housing and commercial land development industries are subject to increasing environmental, building, zoning and real estate sales regulations by various federal, state and local authorities. Such regulations affect home building by specifying, among other things, the type and quality of building materials that must be used, certain aspects of land use and building design, as well as the manner in which we conduct sales activities and otherwise deal with customers. Such regulations affect development activities by directly affecting the viability and timing of projects.

 

We must obtain the approval of numerous government authorities which regulate such matters as land use and level of density, the installation of utility services, such as water and waste disposal, and the dedication of acreage for open space, parks, schools and other community purposes. If such authorities determine that existing utility services will not adequately support proposed development (including possibly in ongoing projects), building moratoria may be imposed. As a result, we may need to devote an increasing amount of time to evaluating the impact of governmental restrictions imposed upon a new residential development. Furthermore, as local circumstances or applicable laws change, we may be required to obtain additional approvals or modifications of approvals previously obtained or even stop all work. Such increasing regulation may result in a significant increase in time (and related carrying costs) between our initial acquisition of land and the commencement and completion of its developments.

 

Before we can develop a property, we must obtain a variety of discretionary approvals from local and state governments, as well as the federal government in certain circumstances, with respect to such matters as zoning, subdivision, grading, architecture and environmental matters. The entitlement approval process is often a lengthy and complex procedure requiring, among other things, the submission of development plans and reports and presentations at public hearings. Because of the provisional nature of these approvals and the concerns of various environmental and public interest groups, the approval process can be delayed by withdrawals or modifications of preliminary approvals and by litigation and appeals challenging development rights. Accordingly, our ability to develop properties and realize income from such projects could be delayed or prevented due to litigation challenging previously obtained governmental approvals. We may also be subject to periodic delays or may be precluded entirely from developing in certain communities due to building moratoriums or "slow-growth" or "no-growth" initiatives that could be implemented in the future.

 

We may be required to expend significant financial and managerial resources to comply with environmental regulations and local permitting requirements. Although we believe that our operations will be in general


7


compliance with applicable environmental regulations, certain risks of unknown costs and liabilities are inherent in developing and owning real estate.

DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTIES

 

The following discussion relates to our business of residential and commercial land development with target properties.  Our principal activities include securing acquisition rights to the property, obtaining zoning and other entitlements for the property, securing financing for the purchase of the property, improving the property’s infrastructure and amenities, and selling the property. Below is a specific summary of each of our current material projects.

 

Eagle Mountain/Fairfield.  The Eagle Mountain property is a 240 acre parcel located in Utah County, Utah. The Eagle Mountain property is encumbered by a lien in the amount of approximately $1,120,000, as further described in the Section entitled “Transfer of Real Property”. The present intention is to entitle the parcel and develop it into an industrial/business park.

 

Kamas. The Kamas property is a 9 acre property located in Summit County, Utah. It was transferred to the Company free and clear of encumbrances. The present intention is to entitle the parcel and develop it. 

 

Employees

 

As of December 31, 2019, we have no contract or full-time employees.

 

Legal Proceedings

 

We are not a party to any other legal proceedings, other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to our business, which we believe will not have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.

 

RISK FACTORS

 

The following risk factors apply to the business and operations of the Company. These risk factors are not exhaustive. Investors are encouraged to perform their own investigation with respect to the business, financial condition and prospects of the Company. You should carefully consider the following risk factors, as well as the other information included in this Report. In particular, please refer to the section entitled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.” We may face additional risks and uncertainties that are not presently known to us, or that we currently deem immaterial, which may also impair our business. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes to the financial statements included herein.

 

Risks Related to Capital Structure

 

There is no assurance of an active established public trading market, which would adversely affect the ability of the Company’s investors to sell their securities in the public market. Although the Company’s common stock is registered under the Exchange Act and is traded on the OTC Market, an active trading market for the securities does not yet exist and may not exist or be sustained in the future. The OTC Market, also known as the “Pink Sheets,” is an over-the-counter market that provides significantly less liquidity than the NASDAQ Stock Market. Prices for securities traded solely on the OTC Market may be difficult to obtain and holders of common stock may be unable


8


to resell their securities at or near their original offering price or at any price. Market prices for the Company’s common stock will be influenced by a number of factors, including:

 

The Company’s ability to obtain additional financing and the terms thereof; 

The Company’s financial position and results of operations; 

Any litigation against the Company; 

Possible regulatory requirements on the Company’s business; 

The issuance of new debt or equity securities pursuant to a future offering; 

Competitive developments; 

Variations and fluctuations in the Company’s operating results; 

Change in financial estimates by securities analysts; 

The depth and liquidity of the market for the Company’s common stock; 

Investor perceptions of the Company; and 

General economic and business conditions. 

 

Shares eligible for future sale may adversely affect the market price of the Company’s common stock, as the future sale of a substantial amount of outstanding stock in the public marketplace could reduce the price of the Company’s common stock.

 

In excess of ninety nine percent (99%) of the shares of common stock issued and outstanding are owned by three stockholders, two of whom will be eligible to sell some of their shares of common stock by means of ordinary brokerage transactions in the open market pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (“Rule 144”), subject to certain limitations. Rule 144 also permits the sale of securities, without any limitations, by a non-affiliate that has satisfied a six-month holding period commencing one year after the Company is no longer a shell company. Any substantial sale of common stock pursuant to Rule 144 may have an adverse effect on the market price of our common stock by creating an excessive supply.

 

The Company’s common stock is considered a “penny stock” and may be difficult to sell.

 

The Company’s common stock is considered to be a “penny stock” since it meets one or more of the definitions in Rules 15g-2 through 15g-6 promulgated under Section 15(g) of the Exchange Act. These include but are not limited to the following: (i) the stock trades at a price less than $5.00 per share; (ii) it is NOT traded on a “recognized” national exchange; (iii) it is NOT quoted on the NASDAQ Stock Market, or even if so, has a price less than $5.00 per share; or (iv) it is issued by a company with net tangible assets less than $2.0 million, if in business more than a continuous three years, or with average revenues of less than $6.0 million for the past three years. The principal result or effect of being designated a “penny stock” is that securities broker-dealers cannot recommend the stock but must trade in it on an unsolicited basis.

 

Additionally, Section 15(g) of the Exchange Act and Rule 15g-2 promulgated thereunder by the SEC require broker-dealers dealing in penny stocks to provide potential investors with a document disclosing the risks of penny stocks and to obtain a manually signed and dated written receipt of the document before effecting any transaction in a penny stock for the investor’s account.

 

Holders in the Company’s common stock are urged to obtain and read such disclosure carefully before purchasing any shares that are deemed to be “penny stock.” Moreover, Rule 15g-9 requires broker-dealers in penny stocks to approve the account of any investor for transactions in such stocks before selling any penny stock to that investor. This procedure requires the broker-dealer to: (i) obtain from the investor information concerning its financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives; (ii) reasonably determine, based on that information, that transactions in penny stocks are suitable for the investor and that the investor has sufficient knowledge and experience as to be reasonably capable of evaluating the risks of penny stock transactions; (iii) provide the investor with a written statement setting forth the basis on which the broker-dealer made the determination in (ii) above; and (iv) receive a signed and dated copy of such statement from the investor, confirming that it accurately reflects the investor’s financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives. Compliance with these requirements may make it more difficult for holders of the Company’s common stock to resell their shares to third parties or to otherwise dispose of them in the market or otherwise.

As an "emerging growth company" under applicable law, we will be subject to lessened disclosure requirements, which could leave our stockholders without information or rights available to stockholders of more mature companies.

 

For as long as we remain an "emerging growth company" as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (which we refer to herein as the JOBS Act), we have elected to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not "emerging growth companies" including, but not limited to:

 

not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act; 

taking advantage of an extension of time to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards;  

reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements; and  

exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. 

 

We expect to take advantage of these reporting exemptions until we are no longer an "emerging growth company." Because of these lessened regulatory requirements, our stockholders would be left without information or rights available to stockholders of more mature companies.

 

The Company does not intend to pay dividends and stockholders may not experience a return on investment without selling their securities.

 

The Company has never declared or paid, nor does it intend in the foreseeable future to declare or pay, any cash dividends on its common stock. Since the Company intends to retain all future earnings to finance the operation and growth of its business, stockholders will likely need to sell their securities in order to realize a return on their investment, if any.

 

If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results. As a result, current and potential shareholders could lose confidence in our financial reporting, which would harm our business and the trading price of our stock.

 

We are a development stage company with limited resources. Therefore, we cannot assure investors that we will be able to maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting based on criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. For these reasons, we  are considering the costs and benefits associated with improving and documenting our disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls and procedures, which includes (i) hiring additional personnel with sufficient U.S. GAAP experience and (ii) implementing ongoing training in U.S. GAAP requirements for our CFO and accounting and other finance personnel.  If the results of these efforts are not successful, or if material weaknesses are identified in our internal control over financial reporting, our management will be unable to report favorably as to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting and/or our disclosure controls and procedures, and we could be required to further implement expensive and time-consuming remedial measures and potentially lose investor confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports which could have an adverse effect on our stock price and potentially subject us to litigation.

 

Risks Relating to our Business and Industry

 

The success of our company depends on the continuing contributions of our key personnel.

 

We have a skilled management team to seek out properties to finance, purchase, entitle, and resale. However, our primary manager J Simmons is in his early 90s. It is unknown how long Mr. Simmons will be able to continue to


10


drive our real estate operations and whether a replacement can be identified and hired. It is unclear whether any current members of our management team have the ability to successfully manage our real estate business.

 

We may not be able to refinance, extend or repay our substantial indebtedness owed to our senior secured lender, which would have a material adverse affect on our financial condition and ability to continue as a going concern.

 

We owe approximately $1,120,000 (“Senior Debt Amount”) to a third party pursuant to the $1,000,000, 12% Promissory Note which matures on January 31, 2020. The Promissory Note is secured by a Deed of Trust relating to the 240 Eagle Mountain/Fairfield property in Utah County, Utah. We anticipate that we will need to raise a significant amount of debt or equity capital in the near future in order to repay our outstanding debt obligations owed to our senior secured lender when they mature. If we are unable to raise sufficient capital to repay these obligations at maturity and we are otherwise unable to extend the maturity dates or refinance these obligations, we would be in default. We cannot provide any assurances that we will be able to raise the necessary amount of capital to repay these obligations or that we will be able to extend the maturity dates or otherwise refinance these obligations. Upon a default in the Senior Debt Amount, our senior secured lender would have the right to exercise its rights and remedies to collect, which would include foreclosing on our 240 Eagle Mountain/Fairfield property. Accordingly, a default would have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.

 

Our debt level may have a negative impact on our income and asset value.

 

We borrow money to finance the acquisition of some of our properties. In the future, we intend to continue to borrow money to finance property acquisitions, and may use borrowed funds for other development and operating activities. As a result of our use of debt, we would be subject to the risks normally associated with debt financing. For instance, our cash flow may be insufficient to make required payments of principal and interest, we may be unable to refinance some or all of our indebtedness, future refinancing may not be on terms as favorable as those of the existing indebtedness, required payments on mortgages and on our other indebtedness may not be reduced if the economic performance of any property declines, our debt service obligations may reduce funds available for distribution to our shareholders; and we may default on our indebtedness which could result in acceleration of those obligations.

 

If the economic performance of any of our properties declines, our ability to make debt service payments would be adversely affected. If a property is mortgaged to secure payment of indebtedness and we are unable to meet mortgage payments, we may lose that property to lender foreclosure with a consequent loss of income and asset value. We do not have a policy limiting the amount of debt that we may incur. Accordingly, our management and Board of Directors have discretion to increase the amount of our outstanding debt at any time. Our total liabilities to total market capitalization may exceed those normally carried by our competitors. Our potentially higher leverage levels may make it difficult to obtain any additional financing based on our portfolio or to refinance existing debt on favorable terms or at all.

 

We face a strong competitive market, which could limit our ability to secure attractive investment opportunities.

 

Our business strategy contemplates expansion through acquisition. The commercial real estate industry is highly competitive, and we compete with substantially larger companies and REITs, for the acquisition, development and operation of properties. Some of these companies are national or regional operators with far greater resources than we have. As a result, we may not be able or have the opportunity to make suitable investments on favorable terms in the future.

 

New developments and acquisitions may fail to perform as we expect.

 

We intend to continue to selectively develop and acquire properties. In deciding whether to acquire or develop a particular property, we make assumptions regarding the expected future performance of that property. In particular, we estimate the return on our investment based upon the increased value which results from legal improvements. When we acquire a property, our intent is to reposition or redevelop that property with the goal of increasing profitability. Our estimate of the costs of repositioning or redeveloping an acquired property may prove inaccurate, which may result in our failure to meet our profitability goals. If one or more of these new properties do not perform


11


as expected or we are unable to successfully integrate new properties into our existing operations, our financial performance may be adversely affected.

 

Real estate investments are inherently risky, which could adversely affect our profitability and our ability to make distributions to our shareholders.

 

Real estate investments are subject to varying degrees of risk. If we acquire or develop properties and the acquisitions do not generate sufficient operating cash flow to meet operating expenses, including debt service, capital expenditures and other improvements, our income and ability to pay dividends to our shareholders will be adversely affected. Income from properties may be adversely affected by decreases in resale prices due to real or perceived market downturns, competition or other factors; changes in economic conditions; increases in operating costs such as real estate taxes, insurance premiums;  changes in interest rates and the availability of financing; and changes in laws and governmental regulations, including those governing real estate usage, zoning and taxes.

 

In the event that a real estate bubble exists in the United States and the bubble breaks, there would be a decrease in our projected profits and unexpected losses could occur which would negatively impact your investment.

 

A real estate bubble is a type of economic bubble that occurs periodically in local or global real estate markets. It is characterized by rapid increases in valuations of real property such as housing until they reach unsustainable levels relative to incomes and other economic elements. Between 2006 and 2009 real estate bubbles existed in many parts of the United States and prices decreased dramatically over a period of years. As was the case in 2009, real estate bubbles are invariably followed by severe price decreases that can result in many owners holding mortgage debts higher than the current value of their property. As with any type of economic bubble, it is difficult for many to identify except in hindsight, after the crash. Unlike a stock market crash following a bubble, a real-estate "crash" is usually a slower process, because the real estate market is less liquid than the stock market. In the event that real estate bubbles exists in the United States and any or all of those bubbles break or continue to break, there would be a further decrease in our projected profits and unexpected losses could occur which would negatively impact your investment.

 

Future terrorist attacks in the United States may result in declining economic activity, which could reduce the demand for and the value of our properties.

 

Future terrorist attacks in the United States, such as the attacks that occurred in New York and Washington, D.C. on September 11, 2001, and other acts of terrorism or war, may result in declining economic activity and reduced demand for our properties. A decrease in demand would make it difficult for us to renew or release our properties at lease rates equal to or above historical rates. Terrorist activities also could directly impact the value of our properties through damage, destruction or loss.

 

These types of events also may adversely affect the markets in which our securities are sold. These acts may cause further erosion of business and consumer confidence and spending and may result in increased volatility in national and international financial markets and economies. Any one of these events may cause a decline in the demand for real estate, delay the time in which our properties are entitled and sold and limit our access to capital or increase our cost of raising capital.

 

General economic conditions may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

 

Continued periods of economic slowdown or recession in the United States and in other countries, rising interest rates or declining demand for real estate, or the public perception that any of these events may occur or continue, could result in a general decline in land values, which would adversely affect our financial position, results of operations, cash flow, and ability to satisfy our debt service obligations and to make distributions to our shareholders. At the present time, there is a severe recession in the U.S. and world and we do not know when it will slow or end.

    

There is limited liquidity in our real estate investments, which could limit our flexibility.


12


Real estate investments are relatively illiquid. Our ability to vary our portfolio in response to changes in economic and other conditions will be limited. We may not be able to dispose of an investment when we find disposition advantageous or necessary, and the sale price of any disposition may not recoup or exceed the amount of our investment. In addition, federal tax laws may impact our ability to sell properties without adversely affecting returns to our shareholders.

 

We may suffer environmental liabilities which could result in substantial costs.

 

Under various environmental laws, a current or previous owner or operator of real property may be liable for the costs of removal or remediation of hazardous or toxic substances, including asbestos-containing materials that are located on or under the property. These laws often impose liability whether the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of those substances. In connection with our ownership and operation of properties, we may be liable for these costs, which could be substantial. Also, our ability to arrange for financing secured by that real property might be adversely affected because of the presence of hazardous or toxic substances or the failure to properly remediate any contamination. In addition, we may be subject to claims by third parties based on damages and costs resulting from environmental contamination at or emanating from our properties.

 

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

Forward-Looking Statements

The discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, such as statements of our future plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include those discussed below and elsewhere in this Report, particularly in “Risk Factors.”

 

The following are some factors we believe could cause our actual results to differ materially from expected or historical results:

We participate in the real estate market which is often affected by and  subject to uncertain economic conditions, which makes it difficult to estimate growth and, as a result, future income and expenditures. 

Our future success will depend upon our ability to continue to raise equity financing to fund the purchase of real estate, improvements and entitlements as well as our ability to obtain debt financing, both of which are highly dependent upon several economic conditions that are beyond our control. 

We cannot predict the consequences of future geo-political events, but they may affect adversely the markets in which we operate our ability to insure against risks, our operations or our profitability. 

We face certain significant risk and potential liabilities that may not be covered adequately by insurance or indemnity. 

The effects of a possible recession in the United States or general downturn in the global economy, including financial market disruptions may have an adverse impact on our business, operating results or financial position. 

Since the Asset Transfer, we are now engaged in purchasing, holding, reselling, and in some cases improving undeveloped real property. We target land acquisitions in areas where we believe there will be relatively high increased population and economic growth. During any attempted improvements to real property parcels that we own, there are a significant number of variables that result from governmental approvals, infrastructural developments, economic conditions, availability of credit and demographic shifts. The process of taking several, or in some cases hundreds, of acres of raw land to the point where home or commercial construction can begin takes years as opposed to months.

 

In deciding whether to acquire or develop a particular property, we make assumptions regarding the expected future performance of that property. In particular, we estimate the return on our investment based upon the increased value that results from our improvements. When we acquire a property, our intent is to reposition or


13


redevelop that property with the goal of increasing profitability. Our estimate of the costs of repositioning or redeveloping an acquired property may prove inaccurate, which may result in our failure to meet our profitability goals. If one or more of these new properties do not perform as expected or we are unable to successfully integrate new properties into our existing operations, our financial performance may be adversely affected.

 

Moreover, another long stated risk that we face, among others, is “decreases in [land] resale prices due to competition or other factors” and “changes in economic conditions” could negatively affect our operations. 

 

Eagle Mountain/Fairfield.  

 

We own a 240 acre parcel located in Utah County, Utah. We intend to improve this property for future sale. We do not intend to own any structures built on the property. The Eagle Mountain property is encumbered by a lien in the amount of approximately $1,120,000 in connection with a loan secured by the Eagle Mountain property and the debt instrument contains a “due-on-sale” or similar rights and are set out in a promissory note, as amended, dated January 22, 2019, as further described in the Section entitled “Transfer of Real Property”.

 

Kamas.

 

We own a 9 acre property located in the Kamas area of Summit County, Utah. We intend to improve this property for future sale.

 

Rights to Purchase Real Property

 

Eagle Mountain (Two).

 

We have the right to purchase 160 acres of raw land in the Eagle Mountain are of Utah County, Utah for $2,448,000. As of the date of this report, the purchase of the Eagle Mountain (Two) property has not occurred. If we are able to complete the purchase of the property, we intend to improve this property for future sale.

 

Prior to December 5, 2019, the Company was a shell company that conducted no active business operations other than seeking business opportunities for acquisition or participation by the Company.

 

The Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm on the Company’s 2018 audited financial statements addresses an uncertainty about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, indicating that the Company has incurred losses since its inception and has no on-going operations.  The report further indicates that these factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  At December 31, 2018, the Company had a working capital deficit of $268,622 and an accumulated deficit of $759,238.  The Company incurred net losses of $73,539 and $64,223 for its fiscal years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.  There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain the additional debt or equity capital required to continue its operations.  

 

The Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2018 Compared to the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2017

 

The Company did not conduct any operations during its fiscal years ended December 31, 2018 or 2017, respectively.  At December 31, 2018, the Company had cash in the amount of $31,698 as compared to cash at December 31, 2017 in the amount of $1,724.  The increase in cash from 2018 compared to 2017 is mainly the result of proceeds received from notes payable – related party issued by the Company.

 

At December 31, 2018, the Company had current liabilities of $300,320, consisting of accounts payable of $28,340, accounts payable – related party of $1,500, accrued interest payable – related party of $11,670, accrued interest of $7,890, notes payable of $95,000, and notes payable – related party of $155,920.  At December 31, 2017, the Company had current liabilities of $189,092, consisting of accounts payable of $8,340, accounts payable – stockholder of $500, accrued interest payable – stockholder of $8,918, accrued interest of $4,334, notes payable of $35,000, and notes payable – stockholder of $132,000.  The Company had a working capital deficit of $268,622 at December 31, 2018 as compared to a working capital deficit of $185,368 at December 31, 2017.


14


The Company did not generate revenues during its 2018 or 2017 fiscal years. The Company’s general and administrative expenses were $53,981 during the year ended December 31, 2018 as compared to $48,220 during the year ended December 31, 2017. The Company did not expect a significant change in general and administrative expenses.  

 

The Company incurred a net loss of $73,539 during the year ended December 31, 2018 as compared to a net loss of $64,223 during the year ended December 31, 2017. The $9,316 increase in net loss in 2018 as compared to 2017 is primarily the result of increased general and administrative expenses and increased interest expense related to notes payable of the Company.  

 

Net cash used by operating activities was $43,946 during the 2018 fiscal year resulting primarily from the net loss of $73,539, which was offset by depreciation in the amount of $285, a decrease of $2,000 in prepaid expenses, a $21,000 increase in accounts payable and a $6,308 increase in accrued interest.  Net cash used by operating activities was $71,176 during the 2017 fiscal year resulting primarily from the net loss of $64,223, which was offset depreciation in the amount of $286, an increase of $2,000 in prepaid expenses, a $2,649 increase in accounts payable and a $7,888 increase in accrued interest.  

 

There were no cash flows from investing activities during the 2018 and 2017 fiscal years.     

 

Net cash provided by financing activities was $73,920 during the 2018 fiscal year which consisted of proceeds received from the issuance of notes payable in the amount of $108,920, the repayment of notes payable of $25,000 and the repurchase of common stock in the amount of $10,000.  Net cash provided by financing activities was $7,000 during the 2017 fiscal year which consisted of the repayment of convertible notes in the amount of $100,000, and the proceeds from notes payable – stockholder in the amount of $107,000.

 

The Company cannot presently foresee the cash requirements of any business opportunity which may ultimately be acquired by the Company.  However, since it is likely that any business it acquires will be involved in active business operations, the Company anticipates that an acquisition will result in increased cash requirements as well as increases in the number of employees of the Company.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

The Company has not entered into any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on its financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources that is material to investors.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Due to the lack of current operations and limited business activities, the Company does not have any accounting policies that it believes are critical to facilitate an investor’s understanding of the Company’s financial and operating status.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

The Company has not adopted any new accounting policies that would have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, changes in financial condition or results of operations.

We have no separate audit committee currently. The entire Board oversees our audits and auditing procedures.  

 

Director Independence

 

We are not currently subject to listing requirements of any national securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system which has requirements that a majority of the Board be “independent” and, as a result, we are not at this time required to have our Board comprised of a majority of “Independent Directors.”

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

On December 5, 2019, in connection with the Contribution, a $500,000 Promissory Note was assigned to the Company. The Promissory Note is payable by Geneva Family Assets, LLC which is owned and controlled by our majority stockholder and affiliate J Simmons. The interest rate is the minimum applicable annual federal rate. The maturity date is January 1, 2021. The Note is unsecured.

 

On March 8, 2018 the Company entered into a promissory note with a newly-affiliated party in the amount of $43,250. The note is payable on demand and carries interest at 10% per annum.  Accrued interest and interest expense as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018 was $2,825, and $2,825, respectively.

 

Beginning August 2017, the Company entered into an oral agreement to pay the Company’s sole director $500 per month as payment for use of his personal residence as the Company’s office and mailing address.  The Company recorded rent expense of $6,000 and $2,500 during the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, which is included in the general and administrative expenses on the statements of operations, of which $1,500 and $500 remains payable at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

 

In December 2017, the Company borrowed $107,000 from its sole officer and director pursuant to an unsecured promissory note.  On various dates during 2018, the officer advanced the Company an additional $5,670, resulting in total note balances of $112,670 and $107,000 at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.  The cumulative note balance is uncollateralized, due on demand, and accrues interest at 12% per annum.  Interest expense on the note for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 was $13,177 and $668, respectively. During the year ended 2018, interest in the amount of $5,000 was paid on the note. Accrued interest on the note totaled $8,845 and $668 at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

 

Our board of directors consists of four persons. Mark Scharmann, Keven Walgamott and Paul Sims are not “independent” within the meaning of Rule 5605(a)(3) of the NASDAQ Marketplace because they are officers of the Company.

 

MARKET PRICE OF AND DIVIDENDS ON COMMON EQUITY

AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

 

Our common stock is quoted on the OTC Market under the symbol “BOTH”. There is very limited trading of our common stock. The stock market in general has experienced extreme stock price fluctuations in the past few years. In some cases, these fluctuations have been unrelated to the operating performance of the affected companies. Many companies have experienced dramatic volatility in the market prices of their common stock. We believe that a number of factors, both within and outside our control, could cause the price of our common stock to fluctuate,


18


perhaps substantially. Factors such as the following could have a significant adverse impact on the market price of our common stock:

 

Our ability to obtain additional financing and the terms thereof; 

Our financial position and results of operations; 

Any litigation against us; 

Possible regulatory requirements on our business; 

The issuance of new debt or equity securities pursuant to a future offering; 

Changes in interest rates;

Dividend Policy

 

Our dividend policy is determined by our Board of Directors and depends upon a number of factors, including our financial condition and performance, its cash needs and expansion plans, income tax consequences, and the restrictions that applicable laws and any credit or other contractual arrangements may then impose. Bioethics has not paid any cash dividends on the common stock and does not anticipate paying a cash dividend on our common stock in the foreseeable future.

 

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

 

The following description of our common stock and provisions of our articles of incorporation and our bylaws, in effect as of the completion of the Asset Transfer, are summaries and are qualified by reference to the articles of incorporation, as amended and restated and the bylaws. The Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation are filed as Exhibit 3.3 to this Current Form 8-K.

 

Our current authorized capital stock consists of two hundred seventy five million (275,000,000) shares of stock consisting of (a) two hundred fifty million (250,000,000) shares of common stock, par value, $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) and (b) twenty five million shares (25,000,000) of preferred stock (the “Preferred Stock”).


19


 

Common Stock

 

Holders of common stock are entitled to one vote per share on each matter submitted to a vote at any meeting of stockholders.  Shares of common stock do not carry cumulative voting rights and, therefore, holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock will be able to elect the entire board of directors, and, if they do so, minority stockholders would not be able to elect any members to the board of directors.  Our board of directors has authority, without action by the stockholders, to issue all or any portion of the authorized but unissued shares of common stock, which would reduce the percentage ownership of the stockholders and which may dilute the book value of the common stock.

 

Shareholders have no pre-emptive rights to acquire additional shares of common stock.  The common stock is not subject to redemption and carries no subscription or conversion rights.  In the event of liquidation, the shares of common stock are entitled to share equally in corporate assets after satisfaction of all liabilities.  The shares of common stock, when issued, will be fully paid and non-assessable. We currently do not accumulate money on a regular basis in a separate custodial account, commonly referred to as a sinking fund, to be used to redeem debt securities.

 

Holders of common stock are entitled to receive dividends as the board of directors may from time to time declare out of funds legally available for the payment of dividends.  We have not paid dividends on common stock and do not anticipate that we will pay dividends in the foreseeable future.

 

Preferred Stock

 

We are authorized to issue twenty-five million shares (25,000,000) of Preferred Stock. Our amended and restated articles of incorporation provide that our board of directors has the authority, without action by the stockholders, to designate and issue shares of preferred stock in one or more classes or series, and the number of shares constituting any such class or series, and to fix the voting powers, designations, preferences, limitations, restrictions and relative rights of each class or series of preferred stock, including, without limitation, dividend rights, dividend rates, conversion rights, exchange rights, voting rights, rights and terms of redemption, dissolution preferences, and treatment in the case of a merger, business combination transaction, or sale of the Company’s assets substantially in their entirety, which rights may be greater than the rights of the holders of the common stock.

 

The issuance of the shares of Preferred Stock may be in one or more series, and by filing a certificate pursuant to the applicable law of the State of Nevada, to establish from time to time the number of shares to be included in each such series, and to fix the designation, powers, preferences and rights of the shares of each such series and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof. The authority of the Board with respect to each series shall include, but not be limited to, determination of the following:

 

(1) The number of shares constituting that series and distinctive designation of that series;

(2) The dividend rate on the shares of that series, whether dividends shall be cumulative, and, if so, from which dates or dates, and the relative rights of priority, if any, of payment of dividends on shares of that series;

(3) Whether that series shall have voting rights, in addition to the voting rights provided by law, and, if so, the terms of such voting rights;

(4) Whether that series shall have conversion privileges, and, if so, the terms and conditions of such conversion, including provision for adjustment of the conversion rate in such events as the Board shall determine;

(5) Whether or not the shares of that series shall be redeemable, and, if so, the terms and conditions of such redemption, including the date or dates upon or after which they shall be redeemable, and the amount per share payable in case of redemption, which amount may vary under different conditions and at different redemption dates;

(6) Whether that series shall have a sinking fund for the redemption or purchase of shares of that series, and, if so, the terms and amount of such sinking fund;

(7) The rights of the shares of that series in the event of voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, and the relative rights of priority, if any, of payment of share of that series;

(8) Any other relative or participation rights, preferences and limitations of that series;


20


(9) If no shares of any series of Preferred Stock are outstanding, the elimination of the designation, powers, preferences, and right of such shares, in which event such shares shall return to their status as authorized but undesignated Preferred Stock.

 

The issuance of preferred stock may adversely affect the holders of our Common Stock by restricting dividends on the Common Stock, diluting the voting power of the Common Stock or subordinating the dividend or liquidation rights of the Common Stock. As a result of these or other factors, the issuance of preferred stock could have an adverse impact on the market price of our Common Stock.

 

Dividends

 

Our dividend policy is determined by our Board of Directors and depends upon a number of factors, including our financial condition and performance, its cash needs and expansion plans, income tax consequences, and the restrictions that applicable laws and any credit or other contractual arrangements may then impose. We have not paid any cash dividends on our common stock and at the current time we do not anticipate paying a cash dividend on our common stock in the foreseeable future. We did not declare or pay any cash dividends on our common stock during the past two fiscal years.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

Other than as stated herein, we are not a party to any other legal proceedings, other than ordinary litigation incidental to our business. Although no assurances can be given about the final outcome of pending legal proceedings, at the present time we are not a party to any legal proceeding or investigation that, in the opinion of management, is likely to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

There are no proceedings in which any of our directors, officers or any of their respective affiliates, or any beneficial shareholder of more than five percent of voting securities, is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to the above-mentioned companies’ interest.

 

INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

 

Nevada law provides that a Nevada corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed proceeding, except an action by or in the right of the Company, by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or other enterprise, against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the proceeding, if such person:

 

is not liable for breach of his or her fiduciary duties to the Company; or 

acted in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. 

 

In addition, a Nevada corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or other enterprise against expenses, including amounts paid in settlement and attorneys’ fees actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of the action, if he or she:

 

is not liable for breach of his or her fiduciary duties to the Company; or 

acted in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company. 

 

Under Nevada law, indemnification may not be made for any claim as to which such a person has been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom, to be liable to the Company or for amounts paid in settlement to the Company, unless and only to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction


21


determines that in view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems proper.

 

To the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any non-derivative proceeding or any derivative proceeding, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, the Company shall indemnify such person against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the defense.

 

Further, Nevada law permits a Nevada corporation to purchase and maintain insurance or to make other financial arrangements on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or other enterprise for any liability asserted against him or her and liability and expenses incurred by him or her in his or her capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent, or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the Company has the authority to indemnify such person against such liability and expenses.

 

The Bylaws of the Company require that the Company indemnify and hold harmless each person and his heirs and administrators who shall serve at any time hereafter as a Director or officer of the Company from and against any and all claims, judgments and liabilities to which such persons shall become subject by reason of his having heretofore or hereafter been a Director or officer of the Company, or by reason of any action alleged to have heretofore or hereafter taken or omitted to have been taken by him as such Director or officer, and shall reimburse

each such person for all legal and other expenses reasonably incurred by him in connection with any such claim or liability, including power to defend such person from all suits or claims as provided for under the provisions of the Nevada Business Corporation Act; provided, however, that no such person shall be indemnified against, or be reimbursed for, any expense incurred in connection with any claim or liability arising out of his own negligence or willful misconduct. The rights accruing to any person under the foregoing provisions of this section shall not exclude any other right to which he may lawfully be entitled, nor shall anything herein contained restrict the right of the Company to indemnify or reimburse such person in any proper case, even though not specifically herein provided for. The Company, its directors, officers, employees and agents shall be fully protected in taking any action or making any payment, or in refusing so to do in reliance upon the advice of counsel.

 

The indemnification set out in the Company’s bylaws shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and as to action in another capacity while

holding such office, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer or employee, and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such person.

 

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

 

Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

 

In connection with the Contribution Agreement, Bioethics issued 220,000,000 shares to First Federal Management Group, Inc. which is owned by J Simmons. These shares represented approximately ninety-five percent (95%) of the outstanding shares of Bioethics after the offering pursuant to an exemption under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

 

Item 5.01. Changes in Control of Registrant

 

As a result of the Asset Transfer, Bioethics experienced a change in control with J Simmons effectively acquiring control of us. The disclosure set forth in Item 2.01 to this Report is incorporated into this item by reference.

 

Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.


22


On December 19, 2019, the board of directors of Bioethics appointed Elliott N. Taylor as a Director, Keven Walgamott as a Director and Vice President, and Paul Sims as a Director. In addition, Joshua Turnbow was appointed as Secretary/Treasurer, but resigned shortly thereafter and Paul Sims was appointed to replace him.

 

The Company takes the position that due to the fact that it is a voluntary filer, it is not required to make the 10 day notice of a change in majority of directors in accordance with 17 CFR § 240.14f-1.

 

Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

 

On December 2, 2019, the Company amended its articles of incorporation with the State of Nevada Secretary of State increasing the authorized common stock of the Company to Two Hundred Fifty Million (250,000,000) shares, $0.001 par value.

 

Item 5.06. Change in Shell Company Status

THE SECURITIES OFFERED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE AND ARE BEING OFFERED AND SOLD IN RELIANCE UPON EXEMPTIONS FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT. THE SECURITIES ACQUIRED HEREUNDER MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED OR RESOLD EXCEPT AS PERMITTED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND OTHER APPLICABLE LAWS PURSUANT TO REGISTRATION OR EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS THEREUNDER.

 

CONTRIBUTION AND SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT

 

This CONTRIBUTION AND SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made as of December 5, 2019, by and between BIOETHICS, LTD., a Nevada corporation (“Issuer”), and FIRST FEDERAL MANAGEMENT GROUP, INC., a Utah corporation (“Subscriber”). 

 

RECITALS

 

A.Subscriber is party to that certain Contribution and Subscription Agreement dated as of the date hereof between Subscriber and Atlanta Income & Asset Group, Inc., a Utah corporation, pursuant to which Atlanta contributed, assigned and transferred to Subscriber the assets set forth on Schedule 1 (the “Assets”). 

 

B.Subscriber wishes to contribute, assign and transfer to Issuer, and Issuer wishes to accept from Subscriber, the Assets in exchange for the issuance to Subscriber of 220,000,000 shares of common stock of Issuer (the “Issuer Shares”) representing 95% of the issued and outstanding shares of Issuer on a fully diluted basis, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein. 

 

AGREEMENT

 

In consideration of the foregoing, and the representations, warranties, covenants and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows: 

 

1.Contribution. Upon execution of this Agreement, Subscriber will contribute, transfer and assign to Issuer all of Subscriber’s rights, title and interest in and to the Assets, free and clear of any mortgage, lien, pledge, charge, security interest or encumbrance of any kind, or any other type of preferential arrangement that has the practical effect of creating a security interest (collectively, “Lien”) and Issuer hereby accepts such contribution, transfer and assignment. Simultaneously with such contribution, transfer and assignment, Issuer will issue to Subscriber the Issuer Shares. The issuance of the Issuer Shares to Subscriber hereunder is intended to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act pursuant to Regulation D thereunder. 

 

2.Closing Deliverables. On or prior to execution of this Agreement, Subscriber and, as the case may be, Issuer shall provide to Issuer the following: 

 

(a)a deed transferring the real property Assets from Subscriber to Issuer; and 

 

(b)consents reasonably satisfactory to Issuer pursuant to which each lender holding a lien on any part of the Assets consents to the contribution and transfer of the Assets from Subscriber to Issuer and waiving any “due-on-sale” or similar rights held by such lender, including a consent from Robert Harris (“Harris”) (the “Harris Consent”, and together with the other consents mentioned in this Section 2(c), the “Consents”), as holder of that certain Promissory Note dated January 22, 2019 and that  




certain Amended & Restated Promissory Note dated March 5, 2019 (the “Promissory Notes”), in each case made by Subscriber in favor of Harris and secured by that certain Deed of Trust with Assignment of Leases and Rents recorded January 23, 2019 in the office of the Cache County Recorder as Entry No. 1211967, and that certain Deed of Trust with Assignment of Leases recorded January 22, 2019 in the office of the Utah County Recorder as Entry No. 5442:2019, respectively (as amended prior to the date hereof, the “Harris Deeds of Trust”).

 

3.Representations and Warranties of Subscriber. Subscriber represents and warrants that: 

 

3.1Subscriber is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Utah and has full legal capacity, power, and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Subscriber and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by Issuer, is the legal, valid and binding obligation of Subscriber, enforceable in accordance with its terms (except as enforceability may be limited by principles of public policy, applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights and remedies generally or general principles of equity (regardless of whether considered and applied in a proceeding at law or in equity)). 

 

3.2Subscriber has been advised that the Issuer Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws and, therefore, cannot be resold unless they are registered under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or unless an exception from such registration requirements is available.  Subscriber is aware that Issuer is under no obligation to effect any such registration with respect to the Issuer Shares or to file for or comply with any exemption from registration. 

 

3.3Subscriber is acquiring the Issuer Shares for its own account and not (except as provided in this Agreement) with a view to, or for resale in connection with, the distribution thereof in violation of the Securities Act. 

 

3.4Subscriber has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that Subscriber is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of such investment, and Subscriber is able to incur a complete loss of such investment and is able to bear the economic risk of such investment for an indefinite period of time. 

 

3.5Subscriber is an accredited investor as that term is defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act. 

 

3.6Subscriber has had and continues to have an opportunity (i) to question and to receive information from Issuer concerning Issuer and Subscriber’s investment in the Issuer Shares and (ii) to obtain any and all additional information necessary to verify the accuracy of any information which Subscriber deems relevant to make an informed investment decision as to the acquisition of the Issuer Shares; provided, that Issuer possesses such information or can acquire it without unreasonable effort or expense. Subscriber and Subscriber’s advisers have also been provided an opportunity to review and ask questions about this Agreement as well as any other ancillary documents. 

 

3.7Subscriber has had the opportunity to consult its own independent legal, tax, accounting and other advisors with respect to Subscriber’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the tax consequences to itself of the acquisition, receipt or ownership of the Issuer Shares, including the tax consequences under federal, state, local, and other income tax laws of the United States or any other country and the possible effects of changes in such tax laws. 




3.8Subscriber understands and agrees that the investment in Issuer involves a high degree of risk and that no guarantees have been made or can be made with respect to the future value of the Issuer Shares or the future profitability or success of Issuer. 

 

3.9Subscriber hereby acknowledges and agrees that (a) there is no current public market for the Issuer Shares, none is expected to develop and the Issuer Shares are subject to substantial restrictions on transferability, and (b) as a result of such matters and other factors, the Issuer Shares are difficult to value.  Subscriber hereby further acknowledges and agrees that the acquisition of the Issuer Shares involves significant risks, including the possible loss of all or part of the value of such Issuer Shares. Subscriber is able to bear the economic risk of its investment in the Issuer Shares for an indefinite period of time because the Issuer Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act and, therefore, cannot be sold unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. 

 

3.10Neither the execution and the delivery of this Agreement, nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, will violate any constitution, statute, regulation, rule, injunction, judgment, order, decree, ruling, charge, or other restriction of any government, governmental agency, or court to which Subscriber is subject or, except for the Consents, conflict with, result in a breach of, constitute a default under, result in the acceleration of, create in any party the right to accelerate, terminate, modify, or cancel, or require any notice under any agreement, contract, lease, license, instrument, or other arrangement to which Subscriber is a party or by which it is bound or to which any of its assets is subject. 

 

3.11Subscriber hereby acknowledges and agrees that (i) Issuer and/or its subsidiaries have incurred and may incur in the future a substantial amount of senior or other indebtedness and (ii) there may be additional issuances of equity securities of Issuer after the date hereof and the equity interests of Subscriber may be diluted in connection with any such issuance. 

 

3.12Subscriber has the sole record and beneficial ownership of the Assets, free and clear of all Liens of any kind, except for the Harris Deeds of Trust.  Upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and in accordance with the terms hereof, Issuer will acquire good, valid and marketable title to the Assets, free and clear of all Liens of any kind, except for the Harris Deeds of Trust. 

 

4.Representations and Warranties of Issuer.  Issuer represents and warrants that: 

 

4.1Issuer is a corporation duly formed, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Nevada with full power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder. 

 

4.2This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by such company and is the legal, valid and binding obligation of such company, enforceable in accordance with its terms (except as enforceability may be limited by principles of public policy, applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights and remedies generally or general principles of equity (regardless of whether considered and applied in a proceeding at law or in equity)). 

 

4.3Neither the execution and the delivery of this Agreement, nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, will violate any constitution, statute, regulation, rule, injunction, judgment, order, decree, ruling, charge, or other restriction of any government, governmental agency, or  




court to which such company is subject or any provision of such company’s constitutional documents (including, with respect to Issuer, Issuer’s articles of incorporation), or conflict with, result in a breach of, constitute a default under, result in the acceleration of, create in any party the right to accelerate, terminate, modify, or cancel, or require any notice under any agreement, contract, lease, license, instrument, or other arrangement to which such company is a party or by which it is bound or to which any of its assets is subject.

 

4.4When issued in accordance with this Agreement, the Issuer Shares to be issued to Subscriber will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, Subscriber will acquire good and valid title to the Issuer Shares, free and clear of all Liens of any kind (other than applicable securities laws), and the Issuer Shares will not be issued in violation of any preemptive rights or other agreements or restrictions to which Issuer is bound. 

 

4.5Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties contained herein, to Issuer’s knowledge, the offer, sale and issuance of the Issuer Shares hereunder will be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. 

 

4.6The Issuer Shares have been duly and validly authorized and, when issued in accordance with the terms hereof, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable; 

 

4.7Copies of the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of Issuer are attached hereto as Exhibit A, and such documents as currently in effect are true, complete and correct. 

 

4.8The Company has filed in a timely manner with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) all reports required to be filed and is “current” in its reporting obligations (collectively, the “SEC Reports”).  As of their respective dates, the SEC Reports comply in all material respects with the requirements of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder (collectively, the “Exchange Act”) and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder and none of the SEC Reports contained an untrue statement of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. As of their respective dates, the SEC Reports complied in all material respects with the requirements of the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder applicable to the SEC Reports, and none of the SEC Reports, at the time they were filed with the SEC, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.  None of the statements made in any such SEC Reports is, or has been, required to be amended or updated under applicable law (except for such statements as have been amended or updated in subsequent filings prior the date hereof).  Other than the letters from the SEC filed on Edgar, the Company has not received any other communication from the SEC, FINRA or any other regulatory authority regarding any SEC Report or any disclosure contained therein. 

 

4.9Issuer and its subsidiaries and affiliated entities maintain an effective system of “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act that is designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by Issuer in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms, including controls and procedures designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to Issuer’s management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Issuer and its subsidiaries and affiliated entities have carried out evaluations of the effectiveness of their disclosure controls and procedures as required by Rule 13a-15 of the Exchange Act. 




4.10Issuer is in compliance with (i) all state and federal securities laws, including the Exchange Act and the Securities Act, and (ii) all applicable laws, regulations and rules associated with any public securities exchange on which Issuer’s shares are traded. 

 

5.Acknowledgments by Subscriber; Registration of the Issuer Shares; Reverse Split. As an inducement to Issuer to issue the Issuer Shares to Subscriber and as a condition thereto, Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that neither the issuance of the Issuer Shares to Subscriber hereunder nor any provision contained herein will entitle Subscriber to receive or purchase any additional shares in Issuer unless otherwise approved by Issuer.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Issuer covenants and agrees that promptly following the date hereof, Issuer will register the Issuer Shares, together with all other shares of Issuer not currently registered, under the Exchange Act in compliance with all applicable U.S. state and federal securities laws, including Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act.  Issuer and Subscriber further acknowledge and agree that it is the intent of both parties, and each party hereby agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts following the date hereof, to enact a 1-for-10 reverse split of Issuer’s outstanding Common Stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”) pursuant to which each ten (10) shares of Issuer’s issued and outstanding Common Stock as of the close of business on the effective date of the director’s resolutions approving the Reverse Stock Split will be converted automatically into one (1) share of Issuer’s post-reverse stock split Common Stock. 

 

6.Transaction Intended to be a “Tax Free” Exchange; Subscriber’s Indemnification. This transaction is intended to qualify as a transfer under Section 351(a) of the Internal Revenue Code.  Subscriber acknowledges that Subscriber is not relying on the Issuer or the Issuer’s advisors in respect to the federal income tax consequences to Subscriber of acquiring the Issuer Shares.   

 

7.Adjustment.  Subscriber agrees that upon the written request of Issuer, Subscriber will vote all of the Issuer Shares to amend the Issuer’s Articles of Incorporation (the “Articles”) to increase (but not decrease) the Preferred Liquidation Amount (as such term is defined in the Articles) to equal the value of the Assets, on or about the date hereof, determined by an appraisal of the value of the Assets performed after the date hereof (taking into account any reduction for liabilities assumed or deemed assumed by Issuer), whether such appraisal is performed on behalf of Issuer or an affiliate of Issuer, to the extent such appraisal appraises the value of the assets at an amount greater than the Preferred Liquidation Amount set forth in the Articles as of the date hereof.  Subscriber hereby grants each director of Issuer a proxy (which shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest and irrevocable) to vote the Issuer Shares held by Subscriber and exercise any consent rights applicable thereto in favor of amending the Articles as set forth in this Section 7; provided, however, that the director shall not exercise such power-of-attorney or proxy with respect to Subscriber unless Subscriber is in breach of his obligations under this Section 7. Subscriber hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold the director harmless against all liability, loss or damage, together with all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses), relating to or arising from its exercise of the proxy and power of attorney granted hereby. 

 

8.Indemnities.

AMENDED & RESTATED PROMISSORY NOTE

 

$1,000,000.00Salt Lake City, Utah 

March 5, 2019 

THIS AMENDED & RESTATED PROMISSORY NOTE AMENDS AND RESTATES IN ITS ENTIRETY THAT CERTAIN PROMISSORY NOTE, DATED JANUARY 17, 2019, IN THE ORIGINAL PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF $750,000.00 (the “Original Note”), INCREASING THE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF SAID ORIGINAL NOTE TO $1,000,000.00.  

1.PROMISE TO PAY

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, ATLANTA INCOME & ASSET GROUP, INC., a Utah corporation (“Maker”), with a business address of 2524 W. Kamas Drive, Salt Lake City, Utah 84129, promises to pay to the order of ROBERT D. HARRIS, his successors or assigns (“Holder”), whose mailing address is PO Box 3309, Logan, Utah 84323, or at such other place as Holder may from time to time designate in writing, the principal sum of ONE MILLION and No/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00), together with accrued interest from the date of disbursement on the unpaid principal at the applicable rate as set forth in Section 5 hereof.  

2.DEFINITIONS

The following terms shall have the following meanings when used in this Promissory Note (as it may be amended, modified, extended, and renewed from time to time, the “Note”).  

Business Day” means a day other than a Saturday, Sunday, any other state or federal holiday, or any other day Holder is closed.

Default Interest Rate” means a rate of interest equal to the lesser of (a) eighteen percent (18%) per annum and (b) the highest rate legally permissible under applicable law.

Interest Rate” means an interest rate equal to twelve percent (12%) per annum.

Loan” means the loan made by Holder to Maker pursuant to this Note.

Loan Documents” means this Note, the Trust Deed and any other guaranties, agreements, documents, or instruments now or hereafter evidencing, guarantying or securing the obligations of Maker hereunder, as this Note, the Trust Deed and such other agreements, documents, and instruments may be amended, modified, extended, renewed, or supplemented from time to time.

Maturity Date” means January 31, 2020.


1



Unmatured Event of Default” means any condition or event that with notice or passage of time, or both, would be an Event of Default.

3.MATURITY DATE

Absent the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents, the unpaid principal balance hereof, together with all unpaid interest accrued thereon, and all other amounts payable by Maker under the terms of the Loan Documents, shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date.  If the Maturity Date should fall (whether by acceleration or otherwise) on a day that is not a Business Day, payment of the outstanding principal shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in computing the interest included in such payment.

4.PREPAYMENT

Maker may prepay the Loan, in whole, but not in part, at any time; provided, however, if Maker prepays this Loan in whole or in part during the one (1) year period commencing on January 17, 2019 and terminating one (1) year thereafter (the “Early Prepayment Period”), Maker shall pay to Lender upon such prepayment a prepayment premium equal to $328.77 per day for each day between the date of such prepayment and the close of the Early Prepayment Period (the “Prepayment Premium”), inclusive of the date such prepayment is made.  For example, if Maker pre-pays the Note on the 115th day of the Early Prepayment Period, the Prepayment Premium would be equal to $82,192.50 (($328.77)(250)=$82,192.50).  No Prepayment Premium shall be due or owing with respect to a pre-payment of the Loan made from and after the end of the Early Prepayment Period.  Maker acknowledges and agrees that Lender has made the Loan with the expectation that the original principal balance would remain outstanding until the end of the Early Prepayment Period and that Lender would not make the Loan for a shorter period of time.  Lender and Maker agree that the Prepayment Premium constitutes a fair estimate of the damages Lender would suffer in the event Maker pre-pays the Loan prior to the end of the Early Prepayment Period, that the Prepayment Premium is not intended as a penalty, and that such Prepayment Premium shall be due and payable to Lender pursuant to the terms hereof in the event of a prepayment prior to end of the Early Prepayment Period, whether such prepayment is voluntarily or involuntarily made.

5.INTEREST

(a)Absent an Event of Default hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents, the principal amount owing under this Note shall bear interest at the Interest Rate, subject to the limitations of Section 15 of this Note.  Interest on this Note shall be computed by applying the ratio of the annual Interest Rate over a year of three hundred sixty five (365) days, multiplied by the outstanding principal balance, multiplied by the actual number of days the principal balance is outstanding. 

(b)All payments of principal and interest due hereunder shall be made (i) without deduction of any present and future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, which amounts shall be paid by Maker, and (ii) without any other  




set off.  Maker will pay the amounts necessary such that the gross amount of the principal and interest received by Holder is not less than that required by this Note.

6.LAWFUL MONEY

Principal and interest are payable in lawful money of the United States of America.

7.APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS/LATE CHARGE

(a)Unless otherwise agreed to, in writing, or otherwise required by applicable law, payments will be applied first to any unpaid collection costs, late charges and other charges or fees, then to accrued, unpaid interest, and then to principal, provided, however, upon delinquency, Event of Default or other default, Holder reserves the right to apply payments among principal, interest, late charges, collection costs and other charges at its discretion.  All prepayments shall be applied to the indebtedness owing hereunder in such order and manner as Holder may from time to time determine. 

(b)If any payment required under this Note is not paid within ten (10) days of its due date, then, at the option of Holder, Maker shall pay a late charge equal to five percent (5.0%) of the amount of such payment to compensate Holder for administrative expenses and other costs of delinquent payments.  The late charges may be assessed without notice, shall be immediately due and payable and shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies available to Holder.   

(c)Upon delinquency, Event of Default or default, including failure to pay upon final maturity, or upon maturity by acceleration, Holder, at its option, may also, if permitted under applicable law, do one or both of the following in addition to any other right of remedy available to Holder: (i) increase the applicable interest rate on this Note to the Default Interest Rate, and (ii) add any unpaid accrued interest to principal and such sum will bear interest therefrom until paid at the rate provided in this Note (including any increased rate).  The interest rate hereunder will not exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable law.  Application of the Default Interest Rate will not cure any Event of Default. 

8.PURPOSE; SECURITY

This Note is secured by, among other things, a Trust Deed With Assignment of Leases and Rents dated January 17, 2019 and recorded in the office of the Utah County Recorder on January 22, 2019 as Entry No. 5442:2019 (the “Trust Deed”), which creates liens on the real and personal property as described therein.  Maker hereby represents that such real and personal property is investment property.  Maker further represents and warrants that this Loan is not for personal, household or family purposes.

9.EVENT OF DEFAULT

The occurrence of any of the following shall be deemed to be an event of default (“Event




of Default”) hereunder:

(a)Payment Default.  Failure by Maker to pay any monetary amount within five (5) days of its  due date under any Loan Document; or 

(b)Default Under Other Loan Documents.  Failure to cure any non-monetary default under this Note within 30 days after written notice to Maker from Holder or an Event of Default under any of the other Loan Documents. 

10.REMEDIES

Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and the expiration of any cure period provided therefor, then at the option of Holder, the entire balance of principal together with all accrued interest thereon, and all other amounts payable by Maker under the Loan Documents shall, without demand or notice, immediately become due and payable.  Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (and so long as such Event of Default shall continue), without notice or demand, the entire balance of principal hereof, together with all accrued interest thereon, all other amounts due under the Loan Documents, and any judgment for such principal, interest, and other amounts shall bear interest at the Default Interest Rate.  Maker may also, at its election, add any unpaid accrued interest to principal and such sum will bear interest therefrom until paid at the Default Interest Rate.  The Interest Rate and the Default Interest Rate under this Note will not exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable law under any circumstances.  No delay or omission on the part of Holder in exercising any right under this Note or under any of the other Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver of such right and no application of the Default Interest Rate or the addition of interest to principal shall constitute an election of remedies by Holder nor shall any such exercise of any right cure any Event of Default under the Loan Documents.

11.WAIVER

(a)Maker, endorsers, guarantors, and sureties of this Note hereby waive diligence, demand for payment, presentment for payment, protest, notice of nonpayment, notice of protest, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration, notice of dishonor, and notice of nonpayment, and all other notices or demands of any kind (except notices specifically provided for in the Loan Documents) and expressly agree that, without in any way affecting the liability of Maker, endorsers, guarantors, or sureties, Holder may extend any maturity date or the time for payment of any installment due hereunder, otherwise modify the Loan Documents, accept additional security, release any Person liable, and release any security or guaranty.  Maker, endorsers, guarantors, and sureties waive, to the full extent permitted by law, the right to plead any and all statutes of limitations as a defense. 

(b)TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, MAKER SHALL NOT ASSERT, AND HEREBY WAIVES, ANY CLAIM AGAINST HOLDER, ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, FOR SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES (AS OPPOSED TO DIRECT OR ACTUAL DAMAGES)  




ARISING OUT OF, IN CONNECTION WITH, OR AS A RESULT OF, THIS NOTE OR ANY AGREEMENT OR INSTRUMENT CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, THE LOAN OR THE USE OF THE PROCEEDS THEREOF.

12.CHANGE, DISCHARGE, TERMINATION, OR WAIVER

No provision of this Note may be changed, discharged, terminated, or waived except in a writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of the change, discharge, termination, or waiver is sought.  No failure on the part of Holder to exercise and no delay by Holder in exercising any right or remedy under this Note or under the law shall operate as a waiver thereof.

13.ATTORNEYS’ FEES

If this Note is not paid when due or if any Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default occurs, Maker promises to pay all costs of enforcement and collection and preparation therefor, including but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, whether or not any action or proceeding is brought to enforce the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, all such costs incurred in connection with any bankruptcy, receivership, or other court proceedings (whether at the trial or appellate level)) or with regard to any arbitration or other dispute resolution proceeding.

14.SEVERABILITY

If any provision of this Note is unenforceable, the enforceability of the other provisions shall not be affected and they shall remain in full force and effect.

15.INTEREST RATE LIMITATION

Maker hereby agrees to pay an effective rate of interest that is the sum of the interest rate provided for herein, together with any additional rate of interest resulting from any other charges of interest or in the nature of interest paid or to be paid in connection with the Loan, including without limitation, any fees to be paid by Maker pursuant to the provisions of the Loan Documents.  Holder and Maker agree that none of the terms and provisions contained herein or in any of the Loan Documents shall be construed to create a contract for the use, forbearance or detention of money requiring payment of interest at a rate in excess of the maximum interest rate permitted to be charged by the laws of the State of Utah.  In such event, if any holder of this Note shall collect monies which are deemed to constitute interest which would otherwise increase the effective interest rate on this Note to a rate in excess of the maximum rate permitted to be charged by the laws of the State of Utah, all such sums deemed to constitute interest in excess of such maximum rate shall, at the option of Holder, be credited to the payment of other amounts payable under the Loan Documents or returned to Maker.

16.TRANSFERS OF NOTE AND LOAN.  

Holder shall have the unrestricted right at any time or from time to time to sell this Note and the Loan or participation interests therein.  Maker shall execute, acknowledge and




deliver any and all instruments requested by Holder to satisfy such purchasers or participants that the unpaid indebtedness evidenced by this Note is outstanding upon the terms and provisions set out in this Note and the other Loan Documents.  To the extent, if any specified in such assignment or participation, such assignee(s) or participant(s) shall have the rights and benefits with respect to this Note and the other Loan Documents as such assignee(s) or participant(s) would have if they were the Holder hereunder.

17.NUMBER AND GENDER

In this Note the singular shall include the plural and the masculine shall include the feminine and neuter gender, and vice versa.

18.HEADINGS

Headings at the beginning of each numbered section of this Note are intended solely for convenience and are not part of this Note.

11. Easements, Entitlements, Subordinations. At any time and from time to time upon written request of Beneficiary, payment of its fees and presentation of this Trust Deed and the Note or other note of endorsement (in case of full reconveyance, for cancellation and retention), without affecting the liability of any persons for the payment of the indebtedness secured hereby, Trustee may (a) consent to the making of any map or plat of said property; (b) join in granting any easement or creating any restriction thereon; (c) join in any subordination or other agreement affecting this Trust Deed or the lien or charge thereof; (d) reconvey, without warranty, all or any part of said property.  The grantee in any reconveyance may be described as “the person or persons entitled thereto,” and the recitals therein of any matters or facts shall be conclusive proof of truthfulness thereof.  Trustor agrees to pay reasonable Trustee's fees for any of the services mentioned in this paragraph. 

 

12.  Assignment of Rents. As additional security, Trustor hereby absolutely and irrevocably assigns Beneficiary, during the continuance of their trusts, all rents, issues, royalties, profits of the Real Property affected by this Trust Deed and of any personal property owned by Trustor and located thereon.  Until Trustor shall default in the payment of any indebtedness secured hereby or in the performance of any agreement hereunder, Trustor shall have a revocable license to collect all such rents, issues, royalties, and profits earned prior to default as they become due and payable.  If Trustor shall default as aforesaid, Trustor's right to collect any of such moneys shall cease and Beneficiary shall have the right, with or without taking possession of the Real Property affected hereby, to collect all rents, royalties, issues, and profits.  Failure or discontinuance of Beneficiary at any time or from time to time to collect any such moneys shall not in any manner affect the subsequent enforcement by Beneficiary of the right, power, and authority to collect the same.  Nothing contained herein, nor the exercise of the right by Beneficiary to collect, shall be, or be construed to be, an affirmation by Beneficiary of any tenancy, lease or option, nor an assumption of liability under, nor a subordination of the lien or charge of this Trust Deed to any such tenancy, lease or option. 

 

13.  Enforcement of Default. Upon any default by Trustor hereunder, Beneficiary may at any time without notice, either in person, by agent, or by a receiver to be appointed by a court (Trustor hereby consenting to the appointment of Beneficiary as such receiver), and without regard to the adequacy of any security for the indebtedness hereby secured, enter upon and take  


Page 4 of 9



possession of said property or any part thereof, in its own name sue for or otherwise collect said rents, issues, and profits, including those past due and unpaid, and apply the same, less costs and expenses of operation and collection, including reasonable attorney's fees, upon any indebtedness secured hereby, and in such order as Beneficiary may determine.  All rights and remedies of Beneficiary and Trustee provided hereunder are cumulative and are in addition to all rights and remedies provided by applicable law (including specifically that of foreclosure of this instrument as though it were a mortgage) or in any other agreements between Trustor and Beneficiary.  No failure on the part of Beneficiary to exercise any of its rights hereunder arising upon any default shall be construed to prejudice its rights upon the occurrence of any other or subsequent default.  No delay on the part of Beneficiary in exercising any such rights shall be construed to preclude it from the exercise thereof at any time while that default is continuing.  Beneficiary may enforce any one or more remedies or rights hereunder successively or concurrently.  By accepting payment or performance of any of the Secured Obligations after its due date, Beneficiary shall not waive the agreement contained herein that time is of the essence, nor shall Beneficiary waive either its right to require prompt payment or performance when due of the remainder of the Secured Obligations or its right to consider the failure to so pay or perform a default.    

 

The entering upon and taking possession of said property, the collection of such rents, issues, and profits, or the proceeds of fire and other insurance policies, or compensation or awards for any taking or damages of said property, and the application or release thereof as aforesaid, shall not cure or waive any default or notice of default hereunder or invalidate any act done pursuant to such notice. 

 

14.  No Waiver. The failure on the part of Beneficiary to promptly enforce any right hereunder shall not operate as a waiver of such right and the waiver by Beneficiary of any default shall not constitute a waiver of any other or subsequent default. 

 

15.  Time. Time is of the essence hereof.  Upon default by Trustor in the payment of any indebtedness secured hereby or in the performance of any agreement hereunder, all sums secured hereby shall immediately become due and payable at the option of Beneficiary.  In the event of such default, Beneficiary may execute or cause Trustee to execute a written notice of default and of election to cause said property to be sold to satisfy the obligations hereof, and Trustee shall file such notice for record in each county wherein said property or some part of parcel thereof is situated.  Beneficiary also shall deposit with Trustee, the note and all documents evidencing expenditures secured hereby. 

 

16.  Protection of Lender’s Interest in the Property and Rights under this Security Instrument. Foreclosure. After the lapse of such time as may then be required by law following the recordation of said notice of default, and notice of default and notice of sale having been given as then required by law, Trustee, without demand on Trustor, may sell said property on the date and at the time and place designated in said notice of sale, either as a whole or in separate parcels, and in such order as it may determine (but subject to any statutory right of Trustor to direct the order in which property, if consisting of several known lots or parcels, shall be sold), at public auction to the highest bidder, the purchase price payable in lawful money of the United States at the time of sale.  The person conducting the sale may, for any cause he deems expedient, postpone the sale from time to time until it shall be completed and, in every case, notice of postponement shall be given by public declaration thereof by such person at the time and place last appointed for the sale; provided, if the sale is postponed for longer than one day beyond the day designated in the notice of sale, notice thereof shall be given in the same manner as the original notice of sale.  Trustee shall execute and deliver to the purchaser its Deed  


Page 5 of 9



conveying said property so sold, but without any covenant or warranty, express or implied.  The recitals in the Deed of any matters or facts shall be conclusive proof of the trustfulness thereof.  Any person, including Beneficiary, may bid at the same.  Trustee shall apply the proceeds of the sale to payment of (1) the costs and expenses of exercising the power of sale and of the sale, including the evidence of title procured in connection with such sale; (2) all sums expended under the terms hereof, not then repaid, with accrued interest at the rate borne by the principal balance under the Note from date of expenditure; (3) all other sums then secured hereby; and (4) the remainder, if any, to the person or persons legally entitled thereto, or the Trustee, in its discretion, may deposit the balance of such proceeds with the County Clerk of the county in which the sale took place. Upon sale of the Real Property at any foreclosure sale, Beneficiary may credit bid (as determined by Beneficiary in its sole and absolute discretion) all or any portion of the Secured Obligations.

 

17.  Acceleration. Upon the occurrence of any default hereunder, Beneficiary shall have the option to declare all sums secured hereby immediately due and payable and foreclose this Trust Deed in the manner provided by law for the foreclosure of deeds of trust on real property, and Beneficiary shall be entitled to recover in such proceedings all costs and expenses incident thereto, including a reasonable attorney's fee in such amount as shall be fixed by the court. 

 

18.  Substitute Trustee. Beneficiary may appoint a Successor Trustee at any time by filing for record in the office of the County Recorder of each county in which said property or some part hereof is situated, a substitution of Trustee.  From the time the substitution is filed for record, the new Trustee shall succeed to all powers, duties, authority and title of the Trustee named herein or of any Successor Trustee.  Each such substitution shall be executed and acknowledged, and notice thereof shall be given and proof thereof made, in the manner provided by law. 

 

19.  Binding on Heirs, Successors, Assigns. This Trust Deed shall apply to, inure to the benefit of, and bind all parties hereto, their heirs, legatees, devisees, administrators, executors, successors and assigns.  All obligations of Trustor hereunder are joint and several.  The term “Beneficiary” shall mean the owner and holder, including any pledge, of the note secured hereby.  In this Trust Deed, whenever the contest requires, the masculine gender includes the feminine and/or neuter, and the singular includes the plural. 

 

20.  Acceptance by Trustee.  Trustee accepts this Trust when this Trust Deed, duly executed and acknowledged, is made a public record as provided by law.  Trustee is not obligated to notify any party hereto of pending sale under any other Trust Deed or of any action or proceeding in which Trustor, Beneficiary, or Trustee shall be a party, unless brought by Trustee. 

 

21.  Transfer of Property. Beneficiary may, at Beneficiary’s option, declare immediately due and payable all sums secured by this Trust Deed upon the sale or transfer, without Beneficiary’s prior written consent, of all or any part of the Real Property, or any interest in the Real Property.  A “sale or transfer” means the conveyance of Real Property or any right, title, or interest in the Real Property; whether legal, beneficial, or equitable, whether voluntary or involuntary; whether by outright sale, deed installment sale contract, land contract, contract for deed, leasehold interest with a term greater than three (3) years, lease-option contract, or by sale, assignment, or transfer of any beneficial interest in or to any land trust holding title to the real property, or by any other method of conveyance of an interest in the Real Property.  If the Trustor is a corporation, partnership, or limited liability company, transfer also includes any

4839-2623-5029-2



3.MATURITY DATE

Absent the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents, the unpaid principal balance hereof, together with all unpaid interest accrued thereon, and all other amounts payable by Maker under the terms of the Loan Documents, shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date.  If the Maturity Date should fall (whether by acceleration or otherwise) on a day that is not a Business Day, payment of the outstanding principal shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in computing the interest included in such payment.

4.PREPAYMENT

Maker may prepay the Loan, in whole or in part, at any time.

5.INTEREST

(a)Absent an Event of Default hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents, the principal amount owing under this Note shall bear interest at the Interest Rate, subject to the limitations of Section 15 of this Note.  Interest on this Note shall be computed by applying the ratio of the annual Interest Rate over a year of three hundred sixty five (365) days, multiplied by the outstanding principal balance, multiplied by the actual number of days the principal balance is outstanding. 

(b)All payments of principal and interest due hereunder shall be made (i) without deduction of any present and future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, which amounts shall be paid by Maker, and (ii) without any other set off.  Maker will pay the amounts necessary such that the gross amount of the principal and interest received by Holder is not less than that required by this Note. 

6.LAWFUL MONEY

Principal and interest are payable in lawful money of the United States of America.

7.APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS/LATE CHARGE

(a)Unless otherwise agreed to, in writing, or otherwise required by applicable law, payments will be applied first to any unpaid collection costs, late charges and other charges or fees, then to accrued, unpaid interest, and then to principal, provided, however, upon delinquency, Event of Default or other default, Holder reserves the right to apply payments among principal, interest, late charges, collection costs and other charges at its discretion.  All prepayments shall be applied to the indebtedness owing hereunder in such order and manner as Holder may from time to time determine. 

(b)If any payment required under this Note is not paid within ten (10) days of its due date, then, at the option of Holder, Maker shall pay a late charge equal to five percent (5.0%) of the amount of such payment to compensate Holder for  


2



administrative expenses and other costs of delinquent payments.  The late charges may be assessed without notice, shall be immediately due and payable and shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies available to Holder.  

(c)Upon delinquency, Event of Default or default, including failure to pay upon final maturity, or upon maturity by acceleration, Holder, at its option, may also, if permitted under applicable law, do one or both of the following in addition to any other right of remedy available to Holder: (i) increase the applicable interest rate on this Note to the Default Interest Rate, and (ii) add any unpaid accrued interest to principal and such sum will bear interest therefrom until paid at the rate provided in this Note (including any increased rate).  The interest rate hereunder will not exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable law.  Application of the Default Interest Rate will not cure any Event of Default. 

8.PURPOSE; SECURITY

This Note is secured by, among other things, a Trust Deed With Assignment of Leases and Rents of even date herewith (the “Trust Deed”), which creates liens on the real and personal property as described therein.  Maker hereby represents that such real and personal property is investment property.  Maker further represents and warrants that this Loan is not for personal, household or family purposes.

9.EVENT OF DEFAULT

The occurrence of any of the following shall be deemed to be an event of default (“Event of Default”) hereunder:

(a)Payment Default.  Failure by Maker to pay any monetary amount within five (5) days of its due date under any Loan Document; or 

(b)Default Under Other Loan Documents.  Failure to cure any non-monetary default under this Note within 30 days after written notice to Maker from Holder or an Event of Default under any of the other Loan Documents. 

10.REMEDIES

Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and the expiration of any cure period provided therefor, then at the option of Holder, the entire balance of principal together with all accrued interest thereon, and all other amounts payable by Maker under the Loan Documents shall, without demand or notice, immediately become due and payable.  Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (and so long as such Event of Default shall continue), without notice or demand, the entire balance of principal hereof, together with all accrued interest thereon, all other amounts due under the Loan Documents, and any judgment for such principal, interest, and other amounts shall bear interest at the Default Interest Rate.  Maker may also, at its election, add any unpaid accrued interest to principal and such sum will bear interest therefrom until paid at the Default Interest Rate.  The Interest Rate and the Default Interest Rate under this Note will not exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable law under any circumstances.  No delay or


3



omission on the part of Holder in exercising any right under this Note or under any of the other Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver of such right and no application of the Default Interest Rate or the addition of interest to principal shall constitute an election of remedies by Holder nor shall any such exercise of any right cure any Event of Default under the Loan Documents.

11.WAIVER

(a)Maker, endorsers, guarantors, and sureties of this Note hereby waive diligence, demand for payment, presentment for payment, protest, notice of nonpayment, notice of protest, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration, notice of dishonor, and notice of nonpayment, and all other notices or demands of any kind (except notices specifically provided for in the Loan Documents) and expressly agree that, without in any way affecting the liability of Maker, endorsers, guarantors, or sureties, Holder may extend any maturity date or the time for payment of any installment due hereunder, otherwise modify the Loan Documents, accept additional security, release any Person liable, and release any security or guaranty.  Maker, endorsers, guarantors, and sureties waive, to the full extent permitted by law, the right to plead any and all statutes of limitations as a defense. 

(b)TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, MAKER SHALL NOT ASSERT, AND HEREBY WAIVES, ANY CLAIM AGAINST HOLDER, ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, FOR SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES (AS OPPOSED TO DIRECT OR ACTUAL DAMAGES) ARISING OUT OF, IN CONNECTION WITH, OR AS A RESULT OF, THIS NOTE OR ANY AGREEMENT OR INSTRUMENT CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, THE LOAN OR THE USE OF THE PROCEEDS THEREOF. 

12.CHANGE, DISCHARGE, TERMINATION, OR WAIVER

No provision of this Note may be changed, discharged, terminated, or waived except in a writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of the change, discharge, termination, or waiver is sought.  No failure on the part of Holder to exercise and no delay by Holder in exercising any right or remedy under this Note or under the law shall operate as a waiver thereof.

13.ATTORNEYS’ FEES
