Section 1 – Registrant’s Business and Operations

 

Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

On January 8, 2015, Perk International, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with Tech 9 Inc., a privately held company incorporated under the laws of the Province of Ontario (“Tech 9”), and the shareholders of Tech 9. As a result of the transaction (the “Exchange”), Tech 9 became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. In accordance with the terms of the Exchange Agreement, at the closing an aggregate of 70,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock were issued to the holders of Tech 9’s common stock in exchange for their shares of Tech 9. Each of the Company, Tech 9 and the shareholders of Tech 9 provided customary representations and warranties, pre-closing covenants and closing conditions in the Exchange Agreement.

 

Immediately subsequent to the Exchange, the Company entered into an Agreement of Conveyance, Transfer and Assignment of Assets and Assumption of Obligations (the “Conveyance Agreement”) with our prior officers and directors, Messrs. Andrew Gaudet and Leon Golden. Pursuant to the Conveyance Agreement, we transferred all assets and business operations associated with our daily deals/coupons business to Messrs. Gaudet and Golden. In exchange, Messrs. Gaudet and Golden agreed to cancel their collective 45,000,000 shares in our company and to assume and cancel all liabilities relating to our former business.

 

As a result of the Agreement, we are no longer pursuing our former business plan. Under the direction of our newly appointed officers and directors, as set forth below, we are in the business of deploying, installing and managing “Digital Place-Based Networks” (“DPN’s”) that are designed for healthcare, automotive, institutional, financial and high traffic C-store and retail locations.

 

The foregoing description of the Exchange Agreement and Conveyance Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Exchange Agreement and Conveyance Agreement, which are filed as Exhibits 2.1 and 2.2 to this Current Report and incorporated herein by reference. 

 

Section 2 – Financial Information

 

Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

 

The information provided in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated herein by reference.

 

The Company completed the acquisition of Tech 9 pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, under the terms of which, the shareholders of Tech 9 received 70,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock in exchange for 100% of the outstanding capital stock of Tech 9.

 

Pre-Exchange stockholders of Tech 9 will be required to exchange their existing stock certificates for the Company’s certificates. The Company’s common stock is currently quoted on the OTCPink operated by OTC Markets Group, Inc. under the symbol PRKI.

 

The Exchange and its related transactions were approved by the holders of a requisite number of shares of Tech 9’s common stock.

 

The Exchange is being accounted for as a reverse acquisition and recapitalization. Tech 9 is the acquirer for accounting purposes and the Company is the issuer. Accordingly, Tech 9’s historical financial statements for periods prior to the acquisition become those of the acquirer retroactively restated for the equivalent number of shares received in the Exchange. The accumulated deficit of Tech 9 is carried forward after the acquisition. Operations prior to the Exchange are those of Tech 9. Earnings per share for the period prior to the Exchange are restated to reflect the equivalent number of shares outstanding.

 

Upon the closing of the Exchange, Mr. Golden resigned as an officer and director of the Company and Mr. Gaudet resigned as President, CEO and a director of the Company, but was appointed as Vice President. Robert J. Oswald was appointed as Chief Executive Officer and President, Louis Isabella was appointed Chief Financial Officer, Secretary and Treasurer, and Matthew J. O’Brien was appointed as Chief Technology Officer. Simultaneous with the closing, Messrs. Oswald and O’Brien were appointed as members of our board of directors.

 

 

There were 75,133,132 shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding before giving effect to the stock issuances in the Exchange. Immediately following the Exchange, the Company’s majority shareholders cancelled their collective 45,000,000 shares. Following these transactions, there were 100,133,132 shares outstanding, including:

 

Shares:		Held By:
70,000,000		Tech 9 Shareholders
30,133,132		Existing Company Shareholders

 

Prior to the Exchange, there were no material relationships between the Company and Tech 9, or any of their respective affiliates, directors or officers, or any associates of their respective officers or directors, other than as disclosed in this Current Report.

 

The shares issued in the Exchange were not registered under the Securities Act, but were issued in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Regulation D promulgated thereunder.

 

The Company intends to carry on the business of Tech 9, as its primary line of business. The Company has relocated its principal executive offices to 5401 Eglinton Avenue West, Suite 205 Toronto, Ontario M9C 5K6 and its telephone number is 647-966-5156.

 

Unless the context otherwise requires, hereafter in this Current Report the terms “Tech 9,” “the Company,” “we”, “us” or “our” refer to Perk International, Inc., after giving effect to the Exchange.

Our Business

 

Perk International Inc. was incorporated in the State of Nevada on April 10, 2013. Our original business plan was to become an e-commerce marketplace that connects merchants to consumers by offering daily discounts on goods and services through our website located at www.usellisave.com.

 

As a result of the Exchange, we acquired 100% of Tech 9 Inc., an Ontario, Canada corporation that deploys, installs and manages “Digital Place-Based Networks” (“DPN’s”) that are designed for; healthcare, automotive, institutional, financial and high traffic retail locations.

 

Using a DPN, we offer the location owner, retailer, sponsor or advertiser a proven method for distributing and displaying digital content to a targeted audience at a specific location and time. DPN’s are different than traditional networks, such as television or radio. DPN’s are comprised of flat screen monitors, kiosks, audio, digital media players, software, and other forms of digital media technology (“Digital Media”) that display content, such as information, advertisements and entertainment to a narrow audience at specific locations, aiming the content at specific segments of the public based on location, financial, demographic and psychographic attributes. By placing DPN’s in visible high traffic locations, a large number of potential viewers will have the opportunity to see the content that is being displayed on the Digital Media. By placing an advertisement on Digital Media at one or many of these locations, an advertiser or sponsor can educate, entertain, engage and influence a viewer about their product or service during the time they are at or near the location.

 

In-location digital content has evolved from a future trend into the mainstream of today’s retail marketing. Many multi-location businesses - from convenience stores and quick service restaurants to retailers, department stores, banks and credit unions - are now realizing the benefits of a DPN as an integral part of their in-location marketing and customer engagement strategy. We believe the business advantages of DPN’s are clear. An in-location digital content strategy offers the potential to boost sales, build brand, and create a better customer experience. We believe that we have the systems integration expertise, highly qualified technical resources, and depth of experience in managed network services to deploy, install and manage DPN’s.

 

Digital Media is a multi-purpose communications channel. Digital Media can speak to an “audience of many” in serving as an out-of-home Perk network, and also to a highly targeted audience (i.e. location, financial, demographic and psychographic attributes) in a highly relevant and personal manner. It can also speak to an “audience of one” at a point of information need or decision. Importantly, it can motivate a viewer to engage with someone in the store, download an app to their mobile phone, register, sign-up, purchase, donate, answer a survey, enter a contest, or a number of other engagement activities.

 

Our Industry

 

Ad-based DPN’s: The Point of Purchase Advertising Institute’s (POPAI) 1995 Consumer Buying Habits Study stated that 70 percent of purchase decisions were being made in-store, and POPAI’s 2012 Shopper Engagement Study stated that in-store purchase decision has now reached 76%. Marketers have a tremendous opportunity to reach consumers, build brand equity and stimulate consumption through effective shopper marketing. The Neilson Company reports that 54% of the 237 million monthly exposures to persons 18+ were displayed to male audiences, with 46% exposed to females. An estimated 50% of all the monthly exposures to adults were displayed to men and women in the key 18-34 demographic.

 

 

In 2010, the overall industry grew more than 15 percent last year to $2.1 billion, according to Patrick Quinn, CEO and founder of PQ Media, a Connecticut-based research and consulting firm. Quinn said gas station television is one of the largest and fastest growing segments of that category, based in part on its verifiable audience. With digital TVs in gas stations, nearly 52 million customers are getting snippets of weather, sports highlights, celebrity gossip and commercials with their gas each month, according to Nielsen. The weekly reach is actually larger than most of the prime-time network television shows. The largest company in the space is Gas Station TV with 27.5 million monthly viewers at more than 1,100 stations across the U.S., according to Nielsen. According to the Nielsen Intercept Studies, 89 percent of the consumers are engaged and watching TV at the gas station and 88 percent love watching every time they fuel because they have nothing else to do.

 

We have created “Digital Pages” as a Digital Out-of-Home advertising solution (DOOH), which allows the host location to educate, engage, entertain and influence their customers at the “point-of-care” or point-of-decision and other sponsors or advertisers to reach customers who are at the location deciding on what products and services they should choose (“Point of Purchase”).

 

Our Products

 

We provide an array of hardware and software solutions geared at the DPN market. Our business model is based solely on the boutique location opportunities within the industry. We have established relationships with providers of hardware, software and installation services. We have developed several proprietary DPN’s that have and will be deployed, installed and managed under the following banners, Vision News Now, Hearing News Now, Pharmacy News Now and Medical News Now. Tech 9 has an established medical clinic model in place along with opthamology and C-Stores. All banners are white-label ready for deployment in each boutique market. We are also recognized by several DPN software manufactures and developers for deployment, ongoing management services and installation services. These include ScreenScape Networks, Eye In Media, Adflow Networks, Front Desk, Media Signage and a host of others throughout North America.

 

Marketing, Sales and Distribution

 

We intend to launch “The Digital Pages” as an advertising solution for DPN locations as a proprietary Digital Media solution. Initially, we will target Medical, Ophthalmology, Boutique Healthcare, Automotive, C-Store, Retail and Financial Institutions. We have existing relationships in all of these locations.

 

We support effective media planning and buying based on consumer profile data to ensure maximum effectiveness of the targeting needs of each advertising campaign. Advertising campaigns can be delivered across many or all locations of a DPN, or targeted to reach a specific audience. Delivery is optimized within a targeted audience based on observed and expected response.

 

Our objective is to position our company as the leading provider of DPN’s in this category.

 

To achieve that objective, our strategic position includes:

 

	1.	Developing an industry-leading “Digital Pages” advertising and sponsorship format.
	2.	Pursuing an aggressive growth strategy that will attract the attention of brand advertisers and agencies that want to reach national audiences.
	3.	Building a strong network of venues and locations.
	4.	Creating a North American presence through the provision of managed systems and hardware sales and remote management services.

 

Research and Development

 

We use third party hardware and software providers, enabling us to focus on content creation, system management and revenue generation. By eliminating significant overheads associated with development and manufacturing costs for both hardware and software our business model allows for focused deployment and management of DPN’s.

 

 

Competition

 

There are a multitude of competitors in the Digital Out-of Home (DOOH) market place. Many of these competitors have substantial assets, revenues and goodwill. We are developing a niche approach to the industry by aligning and partnering with third party software and hardware manufactures to support and develop locations for; C-stores, restaurant, healthcare, automotive and retail locations that require a third party to manage and deploy their DPN. In this market, the major players are; Captivate Network, Cineplex Digital, Astral Media, Adflow, BroadSign and Scala.

 

Intellectual Property

 

We rely on third party providers for all software, hardware and technology. Our intellectual property is comprised of our knowledge and know-how.

 

Government Regulation

 

We do not require compliance with regulatory agencies in North America to provide the defined services or product offering delivered to end users or venues.

 

Employees

 

As of the date of this Current Report we had 4 employees/consultants.

 

PROPERTIES

 

Our headquarters are located at 5401 Eglinton Avenue West, Suite 205 Toronto, Ontario Canada M9C 5K6. Tech 9 Inc. rents space from AIM (Alain Isabella McLean) on a month to month basis.  

 

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

The Company does not know of any material, existing or pending legal proceedings against it, nor is the Company involved as a plaintiff in any material proceeding or pending litigation. There are no proceedings in which the Company’s directors, officers or any affiliates, or any registered or beneficial shareholder, are an adverse party or have a material interest adverse to its interest.

 

RISK FACTORS

 

Risks Related to the Business and Financial Condition

 

Because our auditor has issued a going concern opinion regarding our company, there is an increased risk associated with an investment in our company.

 

Tech 9 incurred cumulative net losses of $103,667 since inception to August 31, 2014. Perk International, Inc., before its acquisition of Tech 9, also had incurred cumulative net losses of $77,734 since inception to August 31, 2014. We have recurring losses and are dependent upon obtaining financing or generating revenue from operations to continue operations for the next twelve months. As of August 31, 2014, Tech 9 had no cash. As such, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our future is dependent upon our ability to obtain financing or upon future profitable operations. We reserve the right to seek additional funds through private placements of our common stock and/or through debt financing. Our ability to raise additional financing is unknown. We do not have any formal commitments or arrangements for the advancement or loan of funds. For these reasons, our auditors stated in their report that they have substantial doubt we will be able to continue as a going concern. As a result, there is an increased risk that you could lose the entire amount of your investment in our company.

 

 

We have a limited operating history and if we are not successful in continuing to grow the business, then we may have to scale back or even cease ongoing business operations.

 

We have a very limited history of revenues from operations. There can be no assurance that we will ever operate profitably. Operations will be subject to all the risks inherent in the establishment of a developing enterprise and the uncertainties arising from the absence of a significant operating history. Potential investors should be aware of the difficulties normally encountered in commercializing new products. We will continue to encounter risks and difficulties that companies at a similar stage of development frequently experience, including the potential failure to:

 

	●	Offer products to attract customers;

	●	Increase awareness of our brand and develop customer loyalty;

	●	Respond to competitive market conditions;

	●	Respond to changes within the industry and new Technologies;

	●	Manage risks associated with intellectual property rights;

	●	Maintain effective control of our costs and expenses; and

●

Attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel.

 

We may fail to successfully develop, market and promote our products and services. Successfully developing, marketing and promoting products will be a complex and uncertain process, dependent on the efforts of management, outside consultants and general economic conditions, among other things. Any factors that adversely impact the development, marketing and sales, including, but not limited to, competition, acceptance in the marketplace, or delays related to production and distribution or regulatory issues, will likely have a negative impact on our cash flow and operating results. The commercial success of our products also depends upon:

 

	●	advertising, hardware, management and installation sales;

	●	small business commerce;

	●	unmet signage deployment schedule;

	●	the ability to secure strategic host locations;

	●	the quality and acceptance of other competing brands and products;

	●	creating effective distribution channels and brand awareness;

	●	critical reviews;

	●	the availability of alternatives;

	●	general economic conditions; and

●

other tangible and intangible factors.

 

If we are unable to address any or all of the foregoing risks, our business may be materially and adversely affected.

 

Each of these factors is subject to change and cannot be predicted with certainty. We cannot assure you that we will be successful in developing or marketing any potential enhancements to our existing products. Our inability to successfully market our current products and/or successfully develop and market additional products, or any enhancements to our products which we may develop, would have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations. If our business plan is not successful, and we are not able to operate profitably, investors may lose some or all of their investment in us.

 

Our failure to raise additional capital or generate cash flows necessary to expand our operations and invest in products could reduce our ability to compete successfully and adversely affect our results of operations.

 

We may need to raise additional funds to achieve our future strategic objectives, and we may not be able to obtain additional debt or equity financing on favorable terms, if at all. If we raise additional equity financing, our security holders may experience significant dilution of their ownership interests and the value of shares of our common stock could decline. If we engage in debt financing, we may be required to accept terms that restrict our ability to incur additional indebtedness, force us to maintain specified liquidity or other ratios or restrict our ability to pay dividends or make acquisitions. If we need additional capital and cannot raise it on acceptable terms, we may not be able to, among other things:

 

	●	develop and enhance our existing products and services;
	●	continue to expand our product development, sales and/or marketing organizations;

 

 

	●	hire, train and retain employees; or
	●	respond to competitive pressures or unanticipated working capital requirements.

 

Our inability to do any of the foregoing could reduce our ability to compete successfully and adversely affect our results of operations.

 

We are a small company with limited resources compared to some of our current and potential competitors and we may not be able to compete effectively and increase market share.

 

We face competitors that will attempt to create, or are already creating, products that are similar to ours. Many of our current and potential competitors have significantly longer operating histories and significantly greater managerial, financial, marketing, technical and other competitive resources, as well as greater name recognition, than we do. These competitors may be able to respond more quickly to new or changing opportunities and customer requirements and may be able to undertake more extensive promotional activities, offer more attractive terms to customers or adopt more aggressive pricing policies. We cannot assure you that we will be able to compete effectively with current or future competitors or that the competitive pressures we face will not harm our business. 

 

The products we intend to distribute may not gain market acceptance, which would prevent us from achieving sales and market share.

 

The development of a successful market for our products may be adversely affected by a number of factors, some of which are beyond our control, including:

 

●

our failure to offer products that compete favorably against other similar products on the basis of cost, quality and performance;

 

●

our failure to market and distribute our products effectively;

 

●

our failure to create profitable business opportunities for our customers;

 

●

our failure to meet the public’s demand for instant access to an unlimited amount of information, products and services; and

 

●

our failure to develop and maintain successful relationships with customers, investors and strategic business partners.

 

If the products we intend to distribute fail to gain market acceptance, we will be unable to achieve sales and market share.

 

Our commercial success depends significantly on our ability to develop and commercialize our potential products without infringing the intellectual property rights of third parties.

 

Our commercial success will depend, in part, on operating our business without infringing the patents or proprietary rights of third parties. Third parties that believe we are infringing on their rights could bring actions against us claiming damages and seeking to enjoin the development, marketing and distribution of our products. If we become involved in any litigation, it could consume a substantial portion of our resources, regardless of the outcome of the litigation. If any of these actions are successful, we could be required to pay damages and/or to obtain a license to continue to develop or market our products, in which case we may be required to pay substantial royalties. However, any such license may not be available on terms acceptable to us or at all. Ultimately, we could be prevented from commercializing a product or forced to cease some aspect of our business operations as a result of patent infringement claims, which would harm our business.

 

 

Our success depends on continuing to hire and retain qualified personnel, including our director and officers and our technical personnel.  If we are not successful in attracting and retaining these personnel, our business will suffer.

 

Our success depends substantially on the performance of our management team and key personnel. In particular, the services of Robert J. Oswald, our Chief Executive Officer, and Matthew J. O’Brien our Chief Technology Officer are integral to the creation of our current and future products and the execution of our business strategy. Furthermore, Mr. Oswald and Mr. O’Brien are not subject to any non-competition or non-solicitation restrictions subsequent to the termination of their employment with us. Due to the specialized nature of our business, we are particularly dependent on our personnel. Our future success will depend on our ability to attract, integrate, motivate and retain qualified technical, sales, operations, and managerial personnel, as well as our ability to successfully implement a plan for management succession. Competition for qualified personnel in our business area is intense, and we may not be able to continue to attract and retain key personnel. In addition, if we lose the services of any of our management team or key personnel and are not able to find suitable replacements in a timely manner, our business could be disrupted and we may incur increased operating expenses.

 

Our officers have no experience with Sarbanes Oxley, which increases the risk that we will be unable to establish and maintain all required disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting and meet the public reporting and the financial requirements for our business.

 

Our management has a legal and fiduciary duty to establish and maintain disclosure controls and control procedures in compliance with the securities laws, including the requirements mandated by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Although our officers have substantial business experience, they have no experience with Sarbanes Oxley. The standards that must be met for management to assess the internal control over financial reporting as effective are new and complex, and require significant documentation, testing and possible remediation to meet the detailed standards. Because our officers have no prior experience with the management of a public company, we may encounter problems or delays in completing activities necessary to make an assessment of our internal control over financial reporting, and disclosure controls and procedures. If we cannot assess our internal control over financial reporting as effective or provide adequate disclosure controls or implement sufficient control procedures, investor confidence and share value may be negatively impacted.

 

If we are unable to attract new customers, or if our existing customers do not purchase additional products, the growth of our business and cash flows will be adversely affected.

 

To increase our revenues and cash flows, we must regularly add new customers and, to a somewhat lesser extent, sell additional products to our existing customers. If we are unable to sell our products to customers that have been referred to us, unable to generate sufficient sales leads through our marketing programs, or if our existing or new customers do not perceive our products to be of sufficiently high value and quality, we may not be able to increase sales and our operating results would be adversely affected. In addition, if we fail to sell new products to existing or new customers, our operating results will suffer, and our revenue growth, cash flows and profitability may be materially and adversely affected.

 

If we do not successfully maintain our brand in our existing markets or successfully market our brand in new markets, our revenues and earnings could be materially and adversely affected.

 

We are highly dependent upon positive consumer perceptions of the safety and quality of our products as well as similar products distributed by our competitors. Consumer perception of Digital place based networks (DPN’s) products and our products in particular can be substantially influenced by scientific research or findings, national media attention and other publicity about product use. Adverse publicity from such sources regarding the safety, quality or efficacy of DPN’s, in general, and our products in particular, could harm our reputation and results of operations. The mere publication of reports asserting that such products may be harmful or questioning their efficacy could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, regardless of whether such reports are scientifically supported.

 

We believe that developing, maintaining and enhancing our brand in a cost-effective manner is critical in expanding our customer base. Some of our competitors have well-established brands. Promotion of our brand will depend largely on continuing our sales and marketing efforts and providing high-quality products to our customers. We cannot be assured that these efforts will be successful in marketing our brand. If we are unable to successfully promote our brand, or if we incur substantial expenses in attempting to do so, our revenues and earnings could be materially and adversely affected.

 

 

We have not developed independent corporate governance.

 

We do not presently have independent directors or audit, compensation, or nominating committees. This lack of independence and independent controls over our corporate affairs may result in conflicts of interest between our officers, directors and our shareholders. We presently have no policy to resolve such conflicts. As a result, our directors have the ability to, among other things, determine their own level of compensation.

 

Until we comply with such corporate governance measures to appoint a majority of independent directors and form audit and other board committees in a manner consistent with rules of a national securities exchange, there is no assurance that we will not be subject to any conflicts of interest. As a result, potential investors may be reluctant to provide us with funds necessary to expand our operations.

 

We are dependent on third-party suppliers and manufacturers.

 

We rely on third parties to provide us with the hardware, software and installation for our products and to manufacture specific parts for our products. If our suppliers cannot provide us with the required hardware, software installation or parts in a timely fashion or a manufacturer is unable to produce sufficient quantities of a part for our products, our business and revenues will be adversely affected.

 

Our business is dependent on continually developing or acquiring new and advanced products and processes and our failure to do so may cause us to lose our competitiveness and may cause our profits to decline.

 

To remain competitive in our industry, we believe it is important to continually develop new and advanced products and processes. There is no assurance that our competitors’ new products and processes will not render our existing products obsolete or non-competitive. Our competitiveness in the marketplace relies upon our ability to enhance our current products, introduce new products, and develop and implement new technologies and processes. Our failure to evolve and/or develop new or enhanced products may cause us to lose our competitiveness in the marketplace and may cause our profits to decline.

 

If we are unable to manage our growth effectively, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.

 

Expansion of our business across is a key element of our marketing strategy. The Company intends to increase our customer base, expand our product offerings and pursue market opportunities.  The expansion of our operations and employee base is expected to place a significant strain on our management, operational and financial resources. There can be no assurance that our current management or sales, marketing & support or technical personnel will be able to support our future operations or to identify, manage and exploit potential markets and opportunities. If we are unable to manage growth effectively, such inability could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

We may be exposed to material product liability claims, which could increase our costs and adversely affect our reputation and business.

 

As a marketer and distributor of products designed for human use, we are subject to product liability claims if the use of our products is alleged to have resulted in injury. Previously unknown adverse reactions resulting from human use could occur. The cost of defending against such claims can be substantially higher than the cost of settlement even when such claims are without merit. The high cost to defend or settle product liability claims could have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results.

 

 

Our insurance coverage may be insufficient to cover our legal claims or other losses that we may incur in the future.

 

We expect to maintain insurance, including property, general and product liability and other forms of insurance to protect ourselves against potential loss exposures. In the future, insurance coverage may not be available at adequate levels or on adequate terms to cover potential losses. If insurance coverage is inadequate or unavailable, we may face claims that exceed coverage limits or that are not covered, which could increase our costs and adversely affect our operating results.

 

Our research and development may be costly and/or untimely, and there are no assurances that our research and development will either be successful or completed within the anticipated timeframe, if ever at all.

 

The continued research and development of our products and their subsequent commercialization is important to our success. In addition, the development of new products requires significant research, development and testing efforts. We have limited resources to devote to and limited capabilities to conduct the continued development of new products. We currently have only 3 employees who are engaged in business development systems integration and network management. We may enter into agreements with third party vendors to engage in further development for us. However, the failure of the third-parties to perform under agreements entered into with us, or our failure to renew important contacts or agreements with a third party, may delay or curtail our business development efforts. The research and development of new products is costly and time consuming, and there are no assurances that our research and development will either be successful or completed within the anticipated time frame, if at all. Even if a new product is developed, there is no assurance that it will be commercialized or result in sales.

 

We may not be able to protect our intellectual property rights upon which our business relies, which could cause our assets to lose value.

 

Our business depends and will continue to depend on our intellectual property, including our valuable brands, content, services and internally developed technology. We believe our intellectual property rights are important to our continued success and our competitive position. However, we may be unable or unwilling to strictly enforce our intellectual property rights, including our trademarks, from infringement. In addition, we have not patented our intellectual property nor have we submitted a patent application to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for our product. Our failure to enforce our intellectual property rights could diminish the value of our brands and product offerings and harm our business and future growth prospects.

 

In addition, unauthorized parties may attempt to copy or otherwise obtain and use our services, Technology and other intellectual property, and we cannot be certain that the steps we have taken to protect our proprietary rights will prevent any misappropriation or confusion among consumers and merchants, or unauthorized use of these rights. Advancements in Technology have exacerbated the risk by making it easier to duplicate and disseminate intellectual property. In addition, as our business becomes more global in scope, we may not be able to protect our proprietary rights in a cost-effective manner in a multitude of jurisdictions with varying laws. If we are unable to procure, protect and enforce our intellectual property rights, we may not realize the full value of these assets, and our business may suffer. If we must litigate in the United States or elsewhere to enforce our intellectual property rights or determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others, such litigation may be costly and divert the attention of our management.

 

We may incur substantial costs as a result of litigation or other proceedings relating to patent and other intellectual property rights and we may be unable to protect our rights to, or use, our products.

 

Third parties may challenge the validity of our intellectual property rights, resulting in costly litigation or other time-consuming and expensive proceedings, which could deprive us of valuable rights. If we become involved in any intellectual property litigation, interference or other judicial or administrative proceedings, we will incur substantial expenses and the diversion of financial resources and technical and management personnel. An adverse determination may subject us to significant liabilities or require us to seek licenses that may not be available from third parties on commercially favorable terms, if at all. Further, if such claims are proven valid, through litigation or otherwise, we may be required to pay substantial financial damages, which can be tripled if the infringement is deemed willful, or be required to discontinue or significantly delay development, marketing, selling and licensing of the affected products and intellectual property rights.

 

 

Our competitors may have filed, and may in the future file, patent applications covering products similar to ours. Any such patent application may have priority over our patent applications and could further require us to obtain rights to issued patents covering such products. There may be third-party patents, patent applications and other intellectual property relevant to our potential products that may block or compete with our products or processes. If another party has filed a United States patent application on products similar to ours, we may have to participate in an interference proceeding declared by the United States Patent and Trademark Office to determine priority of invention in the United States. The costs of these proceedings could be substantial, and it is possible that such efforts would be unsuccessful, resulting in a loss of our United States patent position with respect to such products. In addition, we cannot assure you that we would prevail in any of these suits or that the damages or other remedies if any, awarded against us would not be substantial. Claims of intellectual property infringement may require us to enter into royalty or license agreements with third parties that may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all. We may also become subject to injunctions against the further development and use of our technology, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Some of our competitors may be able to sustain the costs of complex patent litigation more effectively than we can because they have substantially greater resources. In addition, any uncertainties resulting from the initiation and continuation of any litigation could have a material adverse effect on our ability to raise the funds necessary to continue our operations.

 

Our current management can exert significant influence over us and make decisions that are not in the best interests of all stockholders.

 

Our executive officers and directors beneficially own a majority of our outstanding shares of common stock. As a result, our executive officer will be able to assert significant influence over all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election and removal of directors and any change in control. In particular, this concentration of ownership of our outstanding shares of common stock could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control, or otherwise discouraging or preventing a potential acquirer from attempting to obtain control. This, in turn, could have a negative effect on the market price of our common stock. It could also prevent our stockholders from realizing a premium over the market prices for their shares of common stock. Moreover, the interests of the owners of this concentration of ownership may not always coincide with our interests or the interests of other stockholders and, accordingly, could cause us to enter into transactions or agreements that we would not otherwise consider.

 

Risks Related to our Common Stock

 

Because we have available a significant number of authorized shares of common stock, we may issue additional shares for a variety of reasons which will have a dilutive effect on our shareholders and on your investment, resulting in reduced ownership and in our company and decreased voting power, or may result in a change of control.

 

Our board of directors has the authority to issue additional shares of common stock up to the authorized amount stated in our Articles of Incorporation. Our board of directors may choose to issue some or all of such shares to acquire one or more businesses or other types of property, or to provide additional financing in the future. The issuance of any such shares may result in a reduction of the book value or market price of the outstanding shares of our common stock. If we do issue any such additional shares, such issuance also will cause a reduction in the proportionate ownership and voting power of all other shareholders. Further, any such issuance may result in a change of control of the company.

 

Additional financings may dilute the holdings of our current shareholders.

 

In order to provide capital for the operation of the business, we may enter into additional financing arrangements. These arrangements may involve the issuance of new shares of common stock, preferred stock that is convertible into common stock, debt securities that are convertible into common stock or warrants for the purchase of common stock. Any of these items could result in a material increase in the number of shares of common stock outstanding, which would in turn result in a dilution of the ownership interests of existing common shareholders. In addition, these new securities could contain provisions, such as priorities on distributions and voting rights, which could affect the value of our existing common stock.

 

 

We do not foresee paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future and, as a result, our investors’ sole source of gain, if any, will depend on capital appreciation, if any.

 

We do not plan to declare or pay any cash dividends on our shares of common stock in the foreseeable future and currently intend to retain any future earnings for funding growth. As a result, investors should not rely on an investment in our securities if they require the investment to produce dividend income. Capital appreciation, if any, of our shares may be investors’ sole source of gain for the foreseeable future. Moreover, investors may not be able to resell their common stock at or above the price they paid for them.

 

 There is currently a limited public market for our common stock. Failure to develop or maintain a trading market could negatively affect its value and make it difficult or impossible for you to sell your shares.

 

There has been a limited public market for our common stock and an active public market for our common stock may not develop. Failure to develop or maintain an active trading market could make it difficult for you to sell your shares or recover any part of your investment in us. Even if a market for our common stock does develop, the market price of our common stock may be highly volatile. In addition to the uncertainties relating to future operating performance and the profitability of operations, factors such as variations in interim financial results or various, as yet unpredictable, factors, many of which are beyond our control, may have a negative effect on the market price of our common stock.

 

We could issue “blank check” preferred stock without stockholder approval with the effect of diluting then current stockholder interests and impairing their voting rights, and provisions in our charter documents and under Nevada law could discourage a takeover that stockholders may consider favorable.

 

Our certificate of incorporation provides for the authorization to issue up to 1,000,000 shares of “blank check” preferred stock with designations, rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by our board of directors. Our board of directors is empowered, without stockholder approval, to issue a series of preferred stock with dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting or other rights which could dilute the interest of, or impair the voting power of, our common stockholders. The issuance of a series of preferred stock could be used as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change in control. For example, it would be possible for our board of directors to issue preferred stock with voting or other rights or preferences that could impede the success of any attempt to change control of our company. In addition, advanced notice is required prior to stockholder proposals.

 

“Penny Stock” rules may make buying or selling our common stock difficult.

 

If the market price for our common stock is below $5.00 per share, trading in our common stock may be subject to the “penny stock” rules. The SEC has adopted regulations that generally define a penny stock to be any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. These rules would require that any broker-dealer that would recommend our common stock to persons other than prior customers and accredited investors, must, prior to the sale, make a special written suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to execute the transaction. Unless an exception is available, the regulations would require the delivery, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the risks associated with trading in the penny stock market. In addition, broker-dealers must disclose commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the securities they offer. The additional burdens imposed upon broker-dealers by such requirements may discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in our common stock, which could severely limit the market price and liquidity of our common stock.

Overview

 

Tech 9 Inc. was incorporated on January 11, 2013 in Ontario, Canada under the Business Corporation Act. The Company is engaged in the business of digital signage network, implementation, services and solutions. The Company’s sales and services include hardware and software sales, project management, installation, implementation and monitoring services.

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Preparation

 

The Company's financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions of future events that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements, such as accrued liabilities and recovery value of equipment, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those reported.

 

Income Taxes

 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded for differences between the financial statement and tax basis of the assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense is recorded for the amount of income tax payable or refundable for the period increased or decreased by the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities during the period.

 

 

Foreign Currency Translation

 

The Company’s functional currency is the Canadian Dollar and its presentation currency is the United States (“U.S.”) Dollar. The Company uses the “Current rate method” to translate its financial statements from Canadian Dollar into U.S. Dollars. The assets and liabilities of the Company, except for the capital, are translated into U.S. Dollars using the rate of exchange prevailing at the balance sheet date. The capital is translated at the historical rate. Adjustments resulting from the translation of the balance sheet of the Company into U.S. Dollars are recorded in stockholders' equity as part of other comprehensive income. The statement of operations is translated at average rates during the reporting period. Gains or losses resulting from transactions in currencies other than the functional currencies are reflected in the statement of operations for the reporting periods.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company’s revenue recognition policy is consistent with the requirements of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 605, Revenue Recognition (ASC 605). In general, the Company records revenue when it is realized, or realizable and earned. The Company considers revenue to be realized, or realizable and earned, when the following revenue recognition requirements are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the products have been delivered and /or installed or services have been performed; the sales price is fixed or determinable within the contract; and collectability is reasonably assured. For product sales, the Company determines that the earnings process is complete when title, risk of loss and the right to use equipment has transferred to the customer. Where the Company is contractually responsible for installation, revenue recognition occurs upon completion of the installation of equipment at a job site. Where the Company is not contractually responsible for installation, revenue recognition of these items is upon shipment or delivery to a customer location depending on the terms in the contract.

 

The application of ASC 605 to the Company's customer contracts requires judgment, including the determination of whether an arrangement includes multiple deliverables such as hardware, maintenance and/or other services. For contracts that contain multiple deliverables, total arrangement consideration is allocated at the inception of the arrangement to each deliverable based on the relative selling price method. The relative selling price method is based on a hierarchy consisting of vendor specific objective evidence (VSOE) (price when sold on a stand-alone basis), if available, or third-party evidence (TPE), if VSOE is not available, or estimated selling price (ESP) if neither VSOE nor TPE is available.

 

Comprehensive income or loss

 

The Company reports comprehensive income or loss in the statements of changes in stockholders’ equity. In addition to items included in net income or loss, comprehensive income or loss includes items currently charged or credited directly to stockholders’ equity such as foreign currency translation adjustment.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company recognizes a liability or asset for deferred tax consequences of all temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the financial statements that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in future years when the reported amounts of the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled. These deferred tax assets or liabilities are measured using the enacted tax rates that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred tax assets are reviewed periodically for recoverability, and valuation allowances are provided when it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets may not be realized.

 

 

Financial Instruments

 

The Company’s financial instruments consist of account receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and amounts due to related party. Unless otherwise noted, it is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to significant interest, or credit risks arising from these financial instruments. The fair values of these financial instruments approximate their carrying values due to the relatively short period to maturity for these instruments. The Company’s financial assets and liabilities are generally classified and measured as follows;

 

Assets/Liabilities		Classification		Measurement
Accounts Receivable		Loans and receivables		Amortized cost
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities		Other liabilities		Amortized cost
Customer deposit		Other liabilities		Amortized cost
Due to related party		Other liabilities		Amortized cost

 

The hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value is divided into three levels:

 

Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active or inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly.

 

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data.

 

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

 

The Company computes net loss of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

 

ASU 2014-15 “Presentation of Financial Statements” – Going Concern (subtopic 205-40) disclosure of uncertainties about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. The amendment are intended to define management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related disclosures. The amendment is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016. The Company has not evaluated the impact of this amendment.

 

ASU 2014-13 “Consolidation (Topic 810) - Measuring the Financial Assets and the Financial Liabilities of a Consolidated Collateralized Financing Entity”. The amendments in ASU 2014-13 provide an alternative to Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, for measuring the financial assets and the financial liabilities of a consolidated collateralized financing entity to eliminate the difference in the fair value of the financial assets of a collateralized financing entity, as determined under GAAP, when they differ from the fair value of its financial liabilities even when the financial liabilities have recourse only to the financial assets. When the measurement alternative is elected, both the financial assets and the financial liabilities of the collateralized financing entity should be measured using the more observable of the fair value of the financial assets or the fair value of the financial liabilities. The amendments clarify that when the measurement alternative is elected, a reporting entity’s consolidated net income (loss) should reflect the reporting entity’s own economic interests in the collateralized financing entity, including: (1) changes in the fair value of the beneficial interests retained by the reporting entity, and (2) beneficial interests that represent compensation for services. The amendment is effective for the annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company has not evaluated the impact if this amendment on its financial statements.

 

  

ASU 2014-12 “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718) - Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period”. The amendments in ASU 2014-12 require that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. A reporting entity should apply existing guidance in Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, as it relates to awards with performance conditions that affect vesting to account for such awards. The performance target should not be reflected in estimating the grant-date fair value of the award. Compensation cost should be recognized in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved and should represent the compensation cost attributable to the period(s) for which the requisite service has already been rendered. If the performance target becomes probable of being achieved before the end of the requisite service period, the remaining unrecognized compensation cost should be recognized prospectively over the remaining requisite service period. The total amount of compensation cost recognized during and after the requisite service period should reflect the number of awards that are expected to vest and should be adjusted to reflect those awards that ultimately vest. The requisite service period ends when the employee can cease rendering service and still be eligible to vest in the award if the performance target is achieved. The amendment is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2015

 

ASU 2014-11 “Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860) - Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures'- The amendments in ASU 2014-11 align the accounting for repurchase-to-maturity transactions and repurchase agreements executed as a repurchase financing with the accounting for other typical repurchase agreements. Going forward, these transactions would all be accounted for as secured borrowings. The guidance eliminates sale accounting for repurchase-to-maturity transactions and supersedes the guidance under which a transfer of a financial asset and a contemporaneous repurchase financing could be accounted for on a combined basis as a forward agreement, which has resulted in outcomes referred to as off-balance-sheet accounting. ASU 2014-11 also brings U.S. GAAP into greater alignment with IFRS for repurchase-to-maturity transactions.

 

The amendments in the ASU require a new disclosure for transactions economically similar to repurchase agreements in which the transferor retains substantially all of the exposure to the economic return on the transferred financial assets throughout the term of the transaction. The amendments in the ASU also require expanded disclosures about the nature of collateral pledged in repurchase agreements and similar transactions accounted for as secured borrowings. The amendment is effective for the annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014. The Company has not evaluated the impact on its financial statements.

 

ASU 2014-09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”. The amendments in ASU 2014-09 affects any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets unless those contracts are within the scope of other standards (e.g., insurance contracts or lease contracts). This ASU will supersede the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific guidance, and creates a Topic 606 Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The amendment is effective for the periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company has not evaluated the impact of this amendment.

 

Going Concern

 

The financial statements included in our filings have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles that contemplate the continuance of our company as a going concern.  Tech 9 Inc.’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on the ability to obtain adequate financing and to reach profitable cash flow from operations. Management recognizes that Tech 9 Inc. must generate additional revenue to achieve profitable operations. Tech 9 Inc. cannot assure that it will be successful in these activities. Should any of these events not occur, its financial condition will be adversely affected.

Net cash used by financing activities for the three month period ended August 31, 2014 was ($19,072) as compared to net cash provided for $35,002 in 2013. In 2014, Tech 9 Inc. repaid $21,771 advances it had received from related parties

 

Satisfaction of Our Cash Obligations for the Next 12 Months

 

Based on Tech 9 Inc.’s current monthly expenses, management believes cash and cash equivalents on hand at August 31, 2014 will not be sufficient to meet the anticipated cash requirements for operations and funding our growth plans over the next 12 months.  As a result, Tech 9 Inc intends to raise additional funds through debt or equity financing.  No assurances can be made that these funds will be available on a timely basis or on terms acceptable to management of Tech 9 Inc.

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

 

To the best of our knowledge, during the past ten years, none of the following occurred with respect to our present or former director, executive officer, or employee: (1) any bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time; (2) any conviction in a criminal proceeding or being subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses); (3) being subject to any order, judgment or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting his or her involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities; and (4) being found by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil action), the SEC or the Commodities Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended or vacated.

 

Committees of the Board

 

Our company currently does not have nominating, compensation or audit committees or committees performing similar functions nor does our company have a written nominating, compensation or audit committee charter. Our directors believe that it is not necessary to have such committees, at this time, because the functions of such committees can be adequately performed by the board of directors.

 

Our company does not have any defined policy or procedural requirements for shareholders to submit recommendations or nominations for directors. The board of directors believes that, given the stage of our development, a specific nominating policy would be premature and of little assistance until our business operations develop to a more advanced level. Our company does not currently have any specific or minimum criteria for the election of nominees to the board of directors and we do not have any specific process or procedure for evaluating such nominees. The board of directors will assess all candidates, whether submitted by management or shareholders, and make recommendations for election or appointment.

 

A shareholder who wishes to communicate with our board of directors may do so by directing a written request addressed to our President and director, Michael Richard Hawthorne, at the address appearing on the first page of this Current Report.

 

 

Code of Ethics

 

As of May 30, 2014, we had not adopted a Code of Ethics for Financial Executives, which would include our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions.

 

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

 

The Company presently not does have employment agreements with its named executive officers and it has not established a system of executive compensation or any fixed policies regarding compensation of executive officers. Due to financial constraints typical of those faced by start-up business, the company has not paid any cash and/or stock compensation to its named executive officers.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

 

The following table sets forth certain information regarding the beneficial ownership of our common stock, taking into account the consummation of the Exchange (1) by each person or entity who is known by us to beneficially own more than 5% of our common stock, (2) by each of the named executive officers and directors; and (3) by all of the named executive officers and directors as a group, as of January 8, 2015.

 

Unless otherwise indicated in the footnotes to the following table, each of the stockholders named in the table has sole voting and investment power with respect to such shares of common stock and the address of each of the stockholders listed below is c/o Perk International, Inc., 5401 Eglinton Avenue West Suite 205 Toronto, Ontario Canada M9C 5K6.

 

NAME OF OWNER		TITLE OF CLASS		NUMBER OF SHARES  OWNED (1)				PERCENTAGE OF COMMON STOCK (2)

⁽²⁾ Based upon 100,133,132 shares issued and outstanding on January 8, 2015.

 

 

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

 

Our authorized capital stock consists of 250,000,000 shares of common stock, with a par value of $0.0001 per share, and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, with a par value of $0.001 per share. Prior to the Exchange, there were 75,133,132 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. In connection with the Exchange, the Company issued (i) 70,000,000 shares of common stock in exchange for the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Tech 9, and (ii) cancelled 45,000,000 shares held by Andrew Gaudet and Leon Golden. The outstanding shares of common stock are validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. There are no shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding.

 

Common Stock

 

Our common stock is entitled to one vote per share on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders, including the election of directors. Except as otherwise required by law or provided in any resolution adopted by our board of directors with respect to any series of preferred stock, the holders of our common stock will possess all voting power. Generally, all matters to be voted on by stockholders must be approved by a majority (or, in the case of election of directors, by a plurality) of the votes entitled to be cast by all shares of our common stock that are present in person or represented by proxy, subject to any voting rights granted to holders of any preferred stock. Holders of our common stock representing fifty percent (50%) of our capital stock issued, outstanding and entitled to vote, represented in person or by proxy, are necessary to constitute a quorum at any meeting of our stockholders. A vote by the holders of a majority of our outstanding shares is required to effectuate certain fundamental corporate changes such as liquidation, merger or an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation. Our Articles of Incorporation do not provide for cumulative voting in the election of directors.

 

Subject to any preferential rights of any outstanding series of preferred stock created by our board of directors from time to time, the holders of shares of our common stock will be entitled to such cash dividends as may be declared from time to time by our board of directors from funds available therefore.

 

Subject to any preferential rights of any outstanding series of preferred stock created from time to time by our board of directors, upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the holders of shares of our common stock will be entitled to receive pro rata all assets available for distribution to such holders.

 

In the event of any merger or consolidation with or into another company in connection with which shares of our common stock are converted into or exchangeable for shares of stock, other securities or property (including cash), all holders of our common stock will be entitled to receive the same kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property (including cash). Holders of our common stock have no pre-emptive rights, no conversion rights and there are no redemption provisions applicable to our common stock.

 

Preferred Stock

 

Our board of directors is authorized by our articles of incorporation to divide the authorized shares of our preferred stock into one or more series, each of which must be so designated as to distinguish the shares of each series of preferred stock from the shares of all other series and classes. Our board of directors is authorized, within any limitations prescribed by law and our articles of incorporation, to fix and determine the designations, rights, qualifications, preferences, limitations and terms of the shares of any series of preferred stock including, but not limited to, the following:

 

1.

The number of shares constituting that series and the distinctive designation of that series, which may be by distinguishing number, letter or title;

 

2.

The dividend rate on the shares of that series, whether dividends will be cumulative, and if so, from which date(s), and the relative rights of priority, if any, of payment of dividends on shares of that series;

 

3.

Whether that series will 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 will 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 of Directors determines;

 

5.

Whether or not the shares of that series will be redeemable, and, if so, the terms and conditions of such redemption, including the date or date upon or after which they are 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 will 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 corporation, and the relative rights of priority, if any, of payment of shares of that series;

 

8.

Any other relative rights, preferences and limitations of that series

 

Provisions in Our Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws That Would Delay, Defer or Prevent a Change in Control

 

Our articles of incorporation authorize our board of directors to issue a class of preferred stock commonly known as a "blank check" preferred stock. Specifically, the preferred stock may be issued from time to time by the board of directors as shares of one (1) or more classes or series. Our board of directors, subject to the provisions of our Articles of Incorporation and limitations imposed by law, is authorized to adopt resolutions; to issue the shares; to fix the number of shares; to change the number of shares constituting any series; and to provide for or change the following: the voting powers; designations; preferences; and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, qualifications, limitations or restrictions, including the following: dividend rights, including whether dividends are cumulative; dividend rates; terms of redemption, including sinking fund provisions; redemption prices; conversion rights and liquidation preferences of the shares constituting any class or series of the preferred stock.

 

In each such case, we will not need any further action or vote by our shareholders. One of the effects of undesignated preferred stock may be to enable the board of directors to render more difficult or to discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a tender offer, proxy contest, merger or otherwise, and thereby to protect the continuity of our management. The issuance of shares of preferred stock pursuant to the board of director's authority described above may adversely affect the rights of holders of common stock. For example, preferred stock issued by us may rank prior to the common stock as to dividend rights, liquidation preference or both, may have full or limited voting rights and may be convertible into shares of common stock. Accordingly, the issuance of shares of preferred stock may discourage bids for the common stock at a premium or may otherwise adversely affect the market price of the common stock.

 

Dividend Policy

 

We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock. We currently intend to retain future earnings, if any, to finance the expansion of our business. As a result, we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

 

Warrants and Options

 

We issued 30,000,000 stock warrants in connection with the issuance of common stock. On April 3, 2014 the exercise price for all the outstanding warrants was revised from $0.25 to $0.15 per share.

 

During the year ended May 31, 2014 warrants were exercised for 66,666 common shares of stock, for $10,000 in cash.

 

 

During the fiscal quarter ended August 31, 2014, 66,666 warrants were exercised at $0.15 per share, resulting in 66,666 shares of common stock being issued for $10,000 in cash.

 

There are 29,866,668 stock warrants remaining as of August 31, 2014. The remaining warrants will expire on September 30, 2017. 

 

Convertible Securities

 

We have not issued and do not have outstanding any securities convertible into shares of our common stock or any rights convertible or exchangeable into shares of our common stock.

 

Nevada Anti-Takeover Laws

 

Nevada Revised Statutes sections 78.378 to 78.379 provide state regulation over the acquisition of a controlling interest in certain Nevada corporations unless the articles of incorporation or bylaws of the corporation provide that the provisions of these sections do not apply. Our articles of incorporation and bylaws do not state that these provisions do not apply. The statute creates a number of restrictions on the ability of a person or entity to acquire control of a Nevada company by setting down certain rules of conduct and voting restrictions in any acquisition attempt, among other things. The statute is limited to corporations that are organized in the state of Nevada and that have 200 or more stockholders, at least 100 of whom are stockholders of record and residents of the State of Nevada; and does business in the State of Nevada directly or through an affiliated corporation. Because of these conditions, the statute currently does not apply to our company.

 

MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED SHAREHOLDER MATTERS

 

The Company’s common stock is currently quoted on the OTCPink operated by OTC Markets Group, Inc. under the symbol PRKI. There is limited trading activity in the Company’s stock.

 

Penny Stock

 

The SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a market price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC, that: (a) contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading; (b) contains a description of the broker's or dealer's duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to a violation of such duties or other requirements of the securities laws; (c) contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including bid and ask prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask price; (d) contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions; (e) defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading in penny stocks; and (f) contains such other information and is in such form, including language, type size and format, as the SEC shall require by rule or regulation.

 

The broker-dealer also must provide, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, the customer with (a) bid and offer quotations for the penny stock; (b) the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction; (c) the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock; and (d) a monthly account statement showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account.

 

In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement as to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement.

 

 

These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity for our common stock. Therefore, stockholders may have difficulty selling our securities.

 

Dividends

 

The Company has not declared, or paid, any cash dividends since inception and does not anticipate declaring or paying a cash dividend for the foreseeable future.

 

Nevada law prohibits our board from declaring or paying a dividend where, after giving effect to such a dividend, (i) we would not be able to pay our debts as they came due in the ordinary course of our business, or (ii) our total assets would be less than the sum of our total liabilities plus the amount that would be needed, if the corporation were to be dissolved at the time of distribution, to satisfy the rights of any creditors or preferred stockholders.

 

Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans

 

We do not have any equity compensation plans.

 

INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

 

Our officers and directors are indemnified as provided by the Nevada Revised Statutes and our bylaws.

 

Under the governing Nevada statutes, director immunity from liability to a company or its shareholders for monetary liabilities applies automatically unless it is specifically limited by a company's articles of incorporation. Our articles of incorporation do not contain any limiting language regarding director immunity from liability. Excepted from this immunity are:

 

1.

a willful failure to deal fairly with the company or its shareholders in connection with a matter in which the director has a material conflict of interest;

 

2.

a violation of criminal law (unless the director had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was lawful or no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful);

 

3.

a transaction from which the director derived an improper personal profit; and

 

4.

willful misconduct.

 

Our bylaws provide that we will indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent not prohibited by Nevada law; provided, however, that we may modify the extent of such indemnification by individual contracts with our directors and officers; and, provided, further, that we shall not be required to indemnify any director or officer in connection with any proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person unless:

 

1.

such indemnification is expressly required to be made by law;

 

2.

the proceeding was authorized by our Board of Directors;

 

3.

such indemnification is provided by us, in our sole discretion, pursuant to the powers vested us under Nevada law; or;

 

4.

such indemnification is required to be made pursuant to the bylaws.

 

Our bylaws provide that we will advance to any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer, of the company, or is or was serving at the request of the company as a director or executive officer of another company, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, prior to the final disposition of the proceeding, promptly following request therefore, all expenses incurred by any director or officer in connection with such proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such person to repay said amounts if it should be determined ultimately that such person is not entitled to be indemnified under our bylaws or otherwise.

 

 

Our bylaws provide that no advance shall be made by us to an officer of the company, except by reason of the fact that such officer is or was a director of the company in which event this paragraph shall not apply, in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, if a determination is reasonably and promptly made: (a) by the board of directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the proceeding, or (b) if such quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable, a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, that the facts known to the decision-making party at the time such determination is made demonstrate clearly and convincingly that such person acted in bad faith or in a manner that such person did not believe to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the company.
