A Maximum of 5,000,000 Shares of Common Stock

At $1.00 Per Share

 

7 Venture Group (“Company”) is registering a maximum of 5,000,000 shares of its common stock at a fixed price of $1.00 per share for sale to the general public in an officer/director best efforts offering. The Issuer will not be allowed access to any funds until the minimum of $10,000 has been deposited into its escrow account signifying the sale of at least a minimum of 10,000 common shares. From the date the date the common shares are registered for sale, the Company will have 180 days to sell the 10,000 minimum shares. If after 180 days, the Company has not met the minimum, the funds will be returned to the purchasers.

 

The Company is a development stage startup, and currently has limited operations. Any investment in the shares offered herein involves a high degree of risk. You should only purchase shares if you can afford a complete loss of your investment.

 

Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for 7 Venture Group’s common stock. We are a development stage company which currently has limited operations and has not generated any revenue. Therefore, any investment involves a high degree of risk.

 

The Company qualifies as an emerging growth company as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Act. An emerging growth company is defined as an issuer with less than $1,000,000,000 total annual gross revenues during its most recently completed fiscal year. Title 1 of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act allows for scaled disclosures for emerging growth companies including no requirement for Sarbanes-Oxley Act Section 404(b) auditor attestations of internal control over financial reporting. Emerging growth companies also need not provide more than two years of audited financial statements per Section 7(a)(2)(A) of the Securities Act. The Company has elected to opt out of the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards pursuant to Section 107(b), which is irrevocable.

 

The Company’s Early Growth Status Terminates on the earliest of (i) the last day of the first fiscal year of the Company during which it had total annual gross revenues of $1 billion or more; (ii) the last day of the fiscal year of the Company following the fifth anniversary of the date of the issuer’s initial public offering; (iii) the date on which the Company has issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt securities in any three year period; or (iv) the date on which the Company is deemed to be a “large-accelerated filer” under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which means that it has at least $700 million of equity securities held by non-affiliates.

 

The Company is not a blank-check company. The Company and its promoters have no plans or intentions to engage in a merger or acquisition with an unidentified company or person. Further, once the Company is a reporting company, it will not be used as a vehicle for a private company to become a reporting company.

 

The Company is not a shell company in that it has a defined business plan, a set of goals to achieve its business plan objectives and the means, through the current Registration Statement, to register that number of common shares necessary for achieving its business plan objectives. The Company is a development stage entity that has operations and based upon the current Registration Statement will have the means to implement its operations and as noted the Company qualifies as an emerging growth company. Therefore the Company is not considered a “shell company.”

 

Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for 7 Venture Group’s common stock.

RISK FACTORS

 

Investment in the securities offered hereby involves certain risks and is suitable only for investors of substantial financial means. Prospective investors should carefully consider the following risk factors in addition to the other information contained in this prospectus, before making an investment decision concerning the common stock. 

 

RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH OUR COMPANY

 

Lack of Profitable Operating History

 

The Company does not have a history of profitable operation. There is no assurance that the Company will ever be profitable and that 7 Venture Group may not raise a sufficient amount of capital to commence operations to implement our business plan. The Company’s ability to achieve profitability will depend upon a number of factors, including, but not limited to, whether the Company:

 

·has funds available for working capital, project development and sales and marketing efforts;
·has funds for the continuous upgrading of its production operations and facilities;
·achieves the projected sales revenues;
·controls the Company’s operating expenses;
·continues to attract new business;
·withstands competition in the Company’s marketplace.

 

Competition

 

The Company’s competitors are rapidly changing and may be well capitalized and financially stronger than 7 Venture Group. Our competitors could reproduce the company’s business model without significant barriers to entry.

 

The Company’s activities may require additional financing, which may not be obtainable.

 

The Company had limited cash deposits. Based on the Company’s expectations as to future performance, the Company considers these resources and existing and anticipated credit facilities, to be adequate to meet the Company’s anticipated cash and working capital needs at least through December 31, 2015. The Company, however, expects to be able to raise capital to fund the Company’s operations, current and investment in new program development. The Company may also need to raise additional capital to fund expansion of the Company’s business. Unless the Company’s results improve significantly, it is doubtful that the Company will be able to obtain additional capital for any purpose if and when the Company needs it.

 

The Company depends heavily on the Company’s senior management who may be difficult to replace.

 

The Company believes that the Company’s future success depends to a significant degree on the skills, experience and efforts of its Chairman, CEO and other key executives. Any of these executives would be difficult to replace. While all of them have incentives to remain with the Company, they are not bound by employment contracts, and there is no assurance that either of them will not elect to terminate their services to us at any time.

 

Increasing the Company’s business depends on the Company’s ability to increase demand for the Company’s products and services.

 

While the Company believes that there is a market for its planned increase in the Company’s products and services, there is no guarantee that the Company will be successful in its choice of product or technology or that consumer demand will increase as the Company anticipates.

 

The Company may be exposed to significant costs of defense and damages in litigation.  

 

Although the Company is not currently a subject of any legal or administrative proceedings there is always the risk that the Company could be the subject of legal proceedings that could give rise to significant exposure in costs and damages.

 

The Company’s ability to operate and compete effectively requires that the Company hires and retains skilled marketing and technical personnel, who have been in short supply from time to time and may be unavailable to us when the Company needs them.

 

The Company’s business requires us to be able to continuously attract, train, motivate and retain highly skilled employees, particularly marketing and other senior management personnel. The Company’s failure to attract and retain the highly trained personnel who are integral to the Company’s sales, development and distribution processes may limit the rate at which the Company can generate sales. The Company’s inability to attract and retain the individuals the Company needs could adversely impact the Company’s business and the Company’s ability to achieve profitability.

 

2
 

The Company may suffer from a business interruption and continuity of its ongoing operations might be affected.

 

The Company’s ability to implement its business plans may be adversely affected by any business interruption that will affect the continuity of its operations. While the Company may take reasonable steps to protect itself, there could be interruptions from computer viruses, server attacks, network or production failures and other potential interruptions that would be beyond the Company’s reasonable control. There can be no assurance that the Company’s efforts will prevent all such interruptions. Any of the foregoing events may result in an interruption of services and a breach of the Company’s obligations to its clients and customers or otherwise have a material adverse effect on the business of the Company.

 

Macro-economic factors may impede business, access to finance or may increase the cost of finance or other operational costs of the Company.

 

Changes in the United States and global financial and equity markets, including market disruptions, interest rate fluctuations, or inflation changes, may make it more difficult for the Company to obtain financing for its operations or investments or increase the cost of obtaining financing. In the event that the Company is delayed in attaining its projections, borrowing costs can be affected by short and long-term debt ratings assigned by independent ratings agencies which are based, in significant part, on the Company’s performance as measured by credit metrics such as interest coverage and leverage ratios. Decrease in these ratios or debt ratings would increase the Company’s cost of borrowings and make it more difficult to obtain financing.

 

There is a limitation on the officers and directors liability.

 

The articles of the Company limit the personal liability of directors and officers for breach of fiduciary duty and the Company provides an indemnity for expenses and liabilities to any person who is threatened or made a party to any legal action by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director or officer of the Company unless the action of proven to that the person was liable to be negligent or misconduct in the performance of their duty to the Company.

 

The loss of our key officers or directors may raise substantial doubt as to the continued viability of the Company.

 

7 Venture Group operations depend on the efforts of key officers and directors and the loss of their services may irreparably harm the Company in such a manner that it may not be able to overcome any such loss in management.

 

Investors may lose their entire investment if 7 Venture Group fails to implement its business plan.

 

7 Venture Group expects to face substantial risks, uncertainties, expenses, and difficulties because it is a development stage company. 7 Venture Group was formed in Irvine, California on March 25, 2014. 7 Venture Group has no demonstrable operations record of substance upon which you can evaluate the Company’s business and prospects. 7 Venture Group prospects must be considered in light of the risks, uncertainties, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in their early stages of development. 7 Venture Group cannot guarantee that it will be successful in accomplishing its objectives.

 

As of the date of this prospectus, 7 Venture Group has had only limited startup operations and has generated no revenues. Considering these facts, independent auditors have expressed substantial doubt about 7 Venture Group’s ability to continue as a going concern in the independent auditors’ report to the financial statements included in the registration statement, of which this prospectus is a part. In addition, 7 Venture Group’s lack of operating capital could negatively affect the value of its common shares and could result in the loss of your entire investment.

 

The Company does not have a history of profitable operation. There is no assurance that the Company will ever be profitable and that 7 Venture Group may not raise a sufficient amount of capital to commence operations to implement our business plan. The Company’s ability to achieve profitability will depend upon a number of factors, including, but not limited to, whether the Company:

 

· has funds available for working capital, project development and sales and marketing efforts;
· has funds for the continuous upgrading of its production operations and facilities;
· achieves the projected sales revenues;
· controls the Company’s operating expenses;
· continues to attract new business;
· withstands competition in the Company’s marketplace.

 

Because of our new business model, we have not proven our ability to generate profit, and any investment in 7 Venture Group is risky.

 

We have very little meaningful operating history so it will be difficult for you to evaluate an investment in our stock. Our auditors have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We cannot assure that we will ever be profitable. Since we have not proven the essential elements of profitable operations, you will be furnishing venture capital to us and will bear the risk of complete loss of your investment in the event we are not successful.

 

3
 

 

We may be unsuccessful in monitoring new trends.

 

Our net revenue might decrease with time. Consequently, our future success depends on our ability to identify and monitor trends and the development of new markets. To establish market acceptance of a new technologies, we will dedicate significant resources to research and development, production and sales and marketing. We will incur significant costs in developing, commissioning and selling new products, which often significantly precede meaningful revenues from its sale. Consequently, new business can require significant time and investment to achieve profitability. Prospective investors should note, however, that there can be no assurance that our efforts to introduce new products or other services will be successful or profitable.

 

We may face distribution and product risks.

 

Our future financial results depend in large part on our ability to develop relationships with our customers. Any disruption in our relationships with our future customers could adversely affect our financial performance.

 

We may face claims of infringement on intellectual property rights.

 

Other parties may assert claims of ownership or infringement or assert a right to payment with respect to the exploitation of certain intellectual properties against us. In many cases, the rights owned or being acquired by us are limited in scope, do not extend to exploitation in all present or future uses or in perpetuity. We cannot assure you that we will prevail in any of these claims. In addition, our ability to demonstrate, maintain or enforce these rights may be difficult. The inability to demonstrate or difficulty in demonstrating our ownership or license rights in these technologies may adversely affect our ability to generate revenue from or use of these intellectual property rights.

 

If our operating costs exceed our estimates, it may impact our ability to continue operations.

 

We believe we have accurately estimated our needs for the next twelve months. It is possible that we may need to purchase additional equipment, hire additional personnel, and further develop new business ventures, or that our operating costs will be higher than estimated. If this happens, it may impact our ability to generate revenue and we would need to seek additional funding. We intend to establish our initial client base via existing relationships that our directors and officers have established in past business relationships. Should these relationships not generate the anticipated volume of business, any unanticipated costs would diminish our working capital.

 

Competitors with more resources may force us out of business.

 

Competition in our sectors of business come from a variety of factors, including quality, timely commissioning of new projects, product positioning, pricing and brand name recognition. The principal competitors for our business may do this better than we can. Each of these competitors has substantially greater financial resources than we do. New technologies may also present substantial competition. We may be unsuccessful in competing with these competitors, which may materially harm our business.

 

7 Venture Group may not be able to attain profitability without additional funding, which may be unavailable.

 

7 Venture Group has limited capital resources. Unless 7 Venture Group begins to generate sufficient revenues to finance operations as a going concern, 7 Venture Group may experience liquidity and solvency problems. Such liquidity and solvency problems may force 7 Venture Group to cease operations if additional financing is not available.

 

The Company does not have a history of profitable operation. There is no assurance that the Company will ever be profitable and that 7 Venture Group may raise a sufficient amount of capital to commence operations to implement our business plan. The Company’s ability to achieve profitability will depend upon a number of factors, including, but not limited to, whether the Company:

 

· has funds available for working capital, project development and sales and marketing efforts;
· has funds for the continuous upgrading of its production operations and facilities;
· achieves the projected sales revenues;
· controls the Company’s operating expenses;
· continues to attract new business;
· withstands competition in the Company’s marketplace.

 

 

4
 

RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS OFFERING

 

You may not be able to sell your shares in 7 Venture Group because there is no public market for 7 Venture Group stock.

 

There is no public market for 7 Venture Group common stock. Therefore, the current and potential market for 7 Venture Group common stock is limited. No market is available for investors in 7 Venture Group common stock to sell their shares if the Company does not acquire listing status. 7 Venture Group cannot guarantee that a meaningful trading market will develop.

 

If 7 Venture Group stock ever becomes tradable, of which 7 Venture Group cannot guarantee success, the trading price of 7 Venture Group common stock could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to various events or factors, many of which are or will be beyond 7 Venture Group control. In addition, the stock market may experience extreme price and volume fluctuations, which, without a direct relationship to the operating performance, may affect the market price of 7 Venture Group stock.

 

Liquidity on the OTC Bulletin Board is limited, and the Company may be unable to obtain listing of the Company’s Common Stock on a more liquid market.

 

The Company’s Common Stock will be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, which provides significantly less liquidity than a securities exchange (such as the American or New York Stock Exchange) or an automated quotation system (such as the Nasdaq National or Small Cap Market). There is uncertainty that any of the Company’s securities will ever be accepted for listing on an automated quotation system or securities exchange.

 

The Board of the Company has full discretion to reallocate the Proceeds.

 

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from this offering for the purposes and in the amounts described ‘USE OF PROCEEDS’. The Company’s estimates of its allocation of the net proceeds of the offering are based upon the current state of its business operations, its current plans and current economic and industry conditions. These estimates are subject to change based on material factors such as delays in project development, unanticipated or changes in the level of competition, adverse market trends and new business opportunities. Thus the Company will have broad discretion to make material changes in the allocation of the proceeds.

 

The Company’s Common Stock may be thinly traded, and the public market may provide little or no liquidity for holders of the Company’s Common Stock.

 

Purchasers of shares of the Company’s Common Stock may find it difficult to resell their shares at prices quoted in the market or at all. There is currently a limited volume of trading in the Company’s Common Stock, and on many days there has been no trading activity at all. Due to the historically low trading price of the Company’s Common Stock, many brokerage firms may be unwilling to effect transactions in the Company’s Common Stock, particularly because low-priced securities are subject to an SEC rule that imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell low-priced securities (generally those below $5.00 per share). The Company cannot predict when or whether investor interest in the Company’s Common Stock might lead to an increase in its market price or the development of a more active trading market or how liquid that market might become.

 

The Company is making the offering on a best efforts basis and there is no assurance that the offering will be sold.

 

There is no assurance that the Company’s offering will be sold, in whole or even in part. The proposed use of net proceeds assumes a sale of the full amount of the offering.

 

Investors in this offering will bear a substantial risk of loss due to immediate and substantial dilution.

 

The principal shareholders of 7 Venture Group own a majority of the outstanding shares of 7 Venture Group common stock. Further issues of stock will mean that shareholders may experience substantial “dilution.” Therefore, the investors in this offering will bear a substantial portion of the risk of loss. Please refer to the section titled “Dilution” herein.

 

Purchasers in this offering will have limited control over decision making because a small group of shareholders control a majority of shares issued and outstanding before and after this offering.

 

Such concentrated control may also make it difficult for stockholders to receive a premium for their shares of the Company in the event the Company enters into transactions, which require stockholder approval. This concentration of ownership limits the power to exercise control by the minority shareholders.

 

 

5
 

 

Investors may have difficulty liquidating their investment because 7 Venture Group’s stock will be subject to Penny Stock Regulation.

 

The SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker/dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. The rules, in part, require broker/dealers to provide penny stock investors with increased risk disclosure documents and make a special written determination that a penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. These heightened disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the number of broker/dealers willing to make a market in 7 Venture Group shares, thereby reducing the level of trading activity in any secondary market that may develop for 7 Venture Group shares. Consequently, customers in 7 Venture Group securities may find it difficult to sell their securities, if at all.

DILUTION OF THE PRICE YOU PAY FOR YOUR SHARES

 

“Dilution” represents the difference between the offering price of the shares of common stock and the net book value per share of common stock immediately after completion of the offering. “Net Tangible Book Value” is the amount that results from subtracting total liabilities and intangible assets from total assets. In this offering, the level of dilution is increased as a result of the relatively low book value of 7 Venture Group’s issued and outstanding stock. With 29,370,000 common shares issued the net book value of 7 Venture Group before the offering is $0. Assuming all 5,000,000 shares offered are sold, and in effect 7 Venture Group receives the maximum estimated proceeds of this offering from shareholders, 7 Venture Group net book value will be approximately $.01 per share. Therefore, any investor will incur an immediate and substantial dilution of approximately $.99 per share, while the 7 Venture Group’s present stockholders will receive an increase of $.99 per share in the net tangible book value of the shares that they hold. This will result in a $ .99 dilution for purchasers of stock in this offering.

 

The following table illustrates the dilution to the purchaser of the common stock in this offering. This table, as a pro-forma schedule using the May 31, 2014 financial statements as a basis, represents a comparison of the various prices paid by the individual who invested in 7 Venture Group previously with the shares offered to new shareholders:

 

Book Value Per Share Before the Offering  $.00 
      
Book Value Per Share After the Offering  $.01 
      
Net Decrease to Original Shareholders  $.99 
      
Increase in Investment to New Shareholders  $.99 
      
Increase to New Shareholders (%)   99%

DESCRIPTION OF OUR BUSINESS

 

7 Venture Group, Inc. is an eSport event and management company that was formed in the State of California on March 25, 2014 as a development stage company headquartered in Irvine, California, United States. The company is structured to conduct business in the eSport Event and Management industry. 7 Venture Group will focus on a reputation for integrity and high levels of performance along with a strong future focusing on growth and profitability.

 

The Company does not have a history of profitable operation. There is no assurance that the Company will ever be profitable and that 7 Venture Group may raise a sufficient amount of capital to commence operations to implement our business plan. The Company’s ability to achieve profitability will depend upon a number of factors, including, but not limited to, whether the Company:

 

· has funds available for working capital, project development and sales and marketing efforts;
· has funds for the continuous upgrading of its production operations and facilities;
· achieves the projected sales revenues;
· controls the Company’s operating expenses;
· continues to attract new business;
· withstands competition in the Company’s marketplace.

 

Our goal is to operate eSport Events across the USA that is unique, potential for substantial growth and profitability. 7 Venture’s goal is to conduct business in the following areas:

 

eSport Events - Electronic sports (also known as eSports or competitive gaming) is a term for organized multiplayer video game competitions. The most common video game genres associated with electronic sports are real-time strategy, fighting, first-person shooter, and multiplayer online battle arena. Tournaments such as the League of Legends World Championship, the Evolution Championship Series, and the Intel Extreme Masters provide both live broadcasts of the competition, and cash prizes to competitors.

 

Talent Management - Talent Management is a company which guides the professional career of gamers in the eSport industry. The responsibility of the talent manager is to oversee the day-to-day business affairs of the gamer or team; advice and counsel talent concerning professional matters, long-term plans and personal decisions which may affect their career.

 

The roles and responsibilities of a talent manager vary slightly from talent to talent, as do the commissions to which the management is entitled. Talent management companies have the authority to make deals for their clients such as the ability to negotiate contracts.

 

A Talent management company is there to assist gamers with their career plans. They are focused on the individual and/or the team. They will guide and direct the client in a variety of strategies to increase their employability. They also act as life/career coaches. The relationship is a one-on-one engagement not solely to establish a career but to increase employability.

 

OUR MISSION

 

Here at 7 Venture Group, we believe in an engaged and excited fan base as the backbone of the competitive scene. We strive to promote the eSports community with events focused toward both the professional and amateur competitive scenes. Our viewing parties and major events allow eSports fans to watch their favorite pros duke it out in the arena, and support their favorites against fellow enthusiasts in the spirit of friendly competition.

 

We also know that the road to professional fame involves a long, arduous journey to the top from the pits of amateur play. 7 Venture Group wants to bring recognition to those up and coming athletes through one-off LANs and extended tournaments to allow competitors to showcase their talents and build a following before both live and online audiences.

 

OUR VISION

 

eSports has the potential to achieve the same level of reverence as traditional sports within the next decade. Broadcasts on Twitch.tv already bring in viewership traffic high enough to compete with YouTube and Facebook activity, and last year’s League of Legends World Championships achieved ratings on par with traditional championships such as the World Series and the Super bowl.

 

We at 7 Venture Group want to do our part to realize this potential through collegiate and semi-pro level tournaments and championships in California. By shining the spotlight on the strongest athletes in North America through competition and our online community portal, we encourage our fans to get behind their favorites and push the hottest new talent straight to the top of professional eSports stardom.

INDUSTRY BACKGROUND

 

Global Gaming Industry: The video game industry began in 1971 with the release of the arcade game, Computer Space. The following year, Atari, Inc. released the first commercially successful video game, Pong, the original arcade version of which sold over 19,000 arcade cabinets. That same year saw the introduction of video games to the home market with the release of the early video game console, the Magnavox Odyssey.

 

The early 1980s saw the golden age of video arcade games reach its zenith. The total sales of arcade video game machines in North America increased significantly during this period, from $50 million in 1978 to $900 million by 1981, with the arcade video game industry's revenue in North America tripling to $2.8 billion in 1980. By 1981, the arcade video game industry was generating an annual revenue of $5 billion in North America, equivalent to $12.3 billion in 2011.

 

The video game industry generated worldwide sales of $19.8 billion in 1993 (equivalent to $31 billion in 2011), $20.8 billion in 1994 (equivalent to $32 billion in 2011), and an estimated $30 billion in 1998 (equivalent to $41.5 billion in 2011). In the United States alone, in 1994, arcades were generating $7 billion in quarters (equivalent to $11 billion in 2011) while home console game sales were generating revenues of $6 billion (equivalent to $9 billion in 2011). Combined, this was nearly two and a half times the $5 billion revenue generated by movies in the United States at the time.

 

As of 2014, newer game companies arose that vertically integrate live operations and publishing, rather than relying on a traditional publishers, and some of these have grown to substantial size.

ØThe “League of Legends” 2012 championship had 8.3 million viewers.

NBC is jumping for joy with the 2013 NHL Stanley Cup averaging 5.4 million viewers per game after four games – significantly less than the “League of Legends” championship.
ØThe “League of Legends” 2012 championship prize pool was $5 million.  The Masters had a prize pool of $8 million in 2013.
ØThe average gamer plays 22 hours/week while the average American watches TV 28 hours/week. The average gamer only watches TV 7.7 hours/week.

 

While the NFL or NBA don’t need to worry about their place at the top of the US professional sports landscape, don’t be surprised if you turn on ESPN sometime soon and find eSports coverage. The expanding number of broadcast outlets focused on sports (FOX sports 1, NBC Sports and others are all ramping up to compete with ESPN), the popularity of video games, and the increasing value of live sports content to broadcasters all bode well for the future of eSports as a spectator sport in America.

PRINCIPAL PRODUCTS AND SERVICES

 

eSPORT EVENTS

 

Competitive gaming has existed almost as long as video games themselves. Even the earliest arcade games inspired some fierce competition. Early on, a lot of that competition took the form of friends challenging each other to best their high scores, but it didn’t take long for organized tournaments to begin popping up. Atari held the first video game competition, the Space Invaders Tournament, in 1980. It attracted more than ten thousand participants. This tournament, and others like it in following years, sowed the seeds of what would eventually become eSports.

 

By the time the 1990s came around, tournaments for arcade and console games had become increasingly common, with companies like Nintendo and Blockbuster sponsoring world championships. Competitive gaming was at this point so new that some tournaments offered brackets for children and teenagers to compete in, a concession no longer necessary today.

 

The 1990s saw the rise of PC gaming, and along with this came the first true eSports competitions. 1997’s Red Annihilation tournament for the first person shooter (FPS) “Quake” is widely considered to have been the first real instance of eSports, drawing over 2,000 participants. The winner received a Ferrari previously owned by John Carmack, lead developer for “Quake.”

 

eSports truly started to come into its own after the turn of the millennium, with the rise of both popular tournaments and the games that now make up the backbone of the eSports world. The year 2000 saw the launch of the World Cyber Games and the Electronic Sports World Cup, both major international tournaments that continue to be held every year. These helped set the tone for the kind of big name tournaments that have come to define the eSports world.

 

2012’s “LoL” Season Two World Championship attracted eight thousand live viewers, 900,000 worldwide viewers, and a prize pool of over five million dollars.

 

As video games become ever more popular, so too do eSports. The more people play games, the more potential fans of eSports there are. And as games grow more advanced, they become more exciting for spectators. eSports has yet to achieve popularity in mainstream culture, but the phenomenon is fast approaching a tipping point where it will.

 

eSports tournaments continue to grow in size and viewership, and each year brings them closer to the level of popularity and acceptance enjoyed by physical sports. Take, for example, the activity known as BarCraft, where “StarCraft II” fans gather in bars to watch pro matches over a cold beer and some snacks. Don’t be surprised if future tournaments generate the same fevered excitement as the World Series of Poker.

 

7 Venture Group’s focus is to bring eSport Tournaments to markets which provide larger venues with international viewership and televised. We will research a market that offers cost-effective event development, addressing market needs, and establishing commercial partnerships, to maximize the value of its products and our shareholder returns.

We believe that targeting one new market for expansion every nine months following our first full year of operations is a realistic goal.

 

7 Venture Group, Inc. will complete our due diligence, and if the business meets our criteria we will negotiate and get the best structure for the joint venture, our time frame per new joint venture will be 9 months to 1 year to complete and make it part of the business plan.

COMPETITION

 

The eSport Event and management company market is vast with many established competitors. The competition is competent, experienced, and may have greater financial and marketing resources than we do at the present time. Some of our competitors also offer a wider scope of services and have greater name recognition within the industry. These companies also have extensive customer bases and our ability to compete may be adversely affected by the ability of these competitors to devote greater resources to their marketing efforts than what is now available to our company. Our competitors include Major League Gaming, Cyber Athlete Professional League, etc.

 

While the market has many established competitors, we feel there is market share available for our Company as we are not burdened with the overhead that many of our competitors may have. One of our strategies to acquire market share is to attract experienced and proven businesses and employees, provide them with technology and inspiration to be the best professionals in their area of expertise. We believe that to sustain operations long-term in this market we must establish a corporate foundation built on solid principles and provide superior services.

PENNY STOCK RULES

 

The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a 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).

 

A purchaser is purchasing penny stock that limits the ability to sell the stock. The shares offered by this prospectus constitute penny stock under the Securities and Exchange Act. The shares will remain penny stocks for the foreseeable future. The classification of penny stock makes it more difficult for a broker-dealer to sell the stock into a secondary market, which makes it more difficult for a purchaser to liquidate his/her investment. Any broker-dealer engaged by the purchaser for the purpose of selling his or her shares in us will be subject to Rules 15g-1 through 15g-10 of the Securities and Exchange Act. Rather than creating a need to comply with those rules, some broker-dealers will refuse to attempt to sell penny stock.

 

The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document, which:

 

  - Contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stock in both Public offerings and secondary trading;
     
  - Contains a description of the broker 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 Act of 1934, as amended;
     
  - Contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including “bid” and “ask” price for the penny stock and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask price;
     
  - Contains a toll-free number for inquiries on disciplinary actions;
     
  - Defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading penny stocks; and
     
  - Contains such other information and is in such form (including language, type, size and format) as the Securities and Exchange Commission shall require by rule or regulation.
     
  - The broker-dealer also must provide, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, to the customer:
     
  - The bid and offer quotations for the penny stock;
     
  - The compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction;
     
  - 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
     
  - Monthly account statements 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 acknowledgement of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement. These disclosure requirements will have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our stock because it will be subject to these penny stock rules. Therefore, stockholders may have difficulty selling their securities.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

A.BASIS OF ACCOUNTING

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents to the extent the funds are not being held for investment purposes.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for share based payments in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation, which requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on the grant date fair value of the award. In accordance with ASC 718-10-30-9, Measurement Objective – Fair Value at Grant Date, the Company estimates the fair value of the award using a valuation technique. For this purpose, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Company believes this model provides the best estimate of fair value due to its ability to incorporate inputs that change over time, such as volatility and interest rates, and to allow for actual exercise behavior of option holders. Compensation cost is recognized over the requisite service period, which is generally equal to the vesting period. Upon exercise, shares issued will be newly issued shares from authorized common stock.

 

ASC 505, "Compensation-Stock Compensation", establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments to non-employees for goods or services. Under this transition method, stock compensation expense includes compensation expense for all stock-based compensation awards granted on or after January 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of ASC 505.

We do not currently have any conflicts of interest by or among our current officer, director, key employee or advisors.

With respect to a derivative action, indemnity may be made only for expenses actually and reasonably incurred in defending the proceeding, and if the officer or director is judged liable, only by a court order. The indemnification is intended to be to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the State of Wyoming.

 

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

 

In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities, other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by one of our directors, officers, or controlling persons in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding, is asserted by one of our directors, officers, or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and we will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders

7 Venture Group, Inc.

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of 7 Venture Group Inc. (A Development Stage Company) as of May 31, 2014, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended and for the period from inception (March 25, 2014) to May 31, 2014. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of 7 Venture Group Inc. (A Development Stage Company) as of May 31, 2014 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended and from inception (March 25, 2014) to May 31, 2014, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered losses from operations, which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

1. BUSINESS DESCRIPTION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

7 Venture Group, Inc. is an eSport event and management company that was formed in the State of California on March 25, 2014 as a development stage company headquartered in Irvine, California, United States. The company is structured to conduct business in the eSport Event and Management industry. 7 Venture Group will focus on a reputation for integrity and high levels of performance along with a strong future focusing on growth and profitability.

 

The Company does not have a history of profitable operation. There is no assurance that the Company will ever be profitable and that 7 Venture Group may raise a sufficient amount of capital to commence operations to implement our business plan. The Company’s ability to achieve profitability will depend upon a number of factors, including, but not limited to, whether the Company:

 

·has funds available for working capital, project development and sales and marketing efforts;
·has funds for the continuous upgrading of its production operations and facilities;
·achieves the projected sales revenues;
·controls the Company’s operating expenses;
·continues to attract new business;
·withstands competition in the Company’s marketplace.

 

The company's Chairman/CEO Michael Cummings and Founder control majority common class A stock at 7 Venture Group, Inc. 7 Venture goal is to own a diverse range of businesses including the following:

 

eSport Events

Talent Management

 

●             eSPORT EVENTS

 

Competitive gaming has existed almost as long as video games themselves. Even the earliest arcade games inspired some fierce competition. Early on, a lot of that competition took the form of friends challenging each other to best their high scores, but it didn’t take long for organized tournaments to begin popping up. Atari held the first video game competition, the Space Invaders Tournament, in 1980. It attracted more than ten thousand participants. This tournament, and others like it in following years, sowed the seeds of what would eventually become eSports.

 

By the time the 1990s came around, tournaments for arcade and console games had become increasingly common, with companies like Nintendo and Blockbuster sponsoring world championships. Competitive gaming was at this point so new that some tournaments offered brackets for children and teenagers to compete in, a concession no longer necessary today.

 

The 1990s saw the rise of PC gaming, and along with this came the first true eSports competitions. 1997’s Red Annihilation tournament for the first person shooter (FPS) “Quake” is widely considered to have been the first real instance of eSports, drawing over 2,000 participants. The winner received a Ferrari previously owned by John Carmack, lead developer for “Quake.”

 

eSports truly started to come into its own after the turn of the millennium, with the rise of both popular tournaments and the games that now make up the backbone of the eSports world. The year 2000 saw the launch of the World Cyber Games and the Electronic Sports World Cup, both major international tournaments that continue to be held every year. These helped set the tone for the kind of big name tournaments that have come to define the eSports world.

 

2012’s “LoL” Season Two World Championship attracted eight thousand live viewers, 900,000 worldwide viewers, and a prize pool of over five million dollars.

 

As video games become ever more popular, so too do eSports. The more people play games, the more potential fans of eSports there are. And as games grow more advanced, they become more exciting for spectators. eSports has yet to achieve popularity in mainstream culture, but the phenomenon is fast approaching a tipping point where it will.

 

eSports tournaments continue to grow in size and viewership, and each year brings them closer to the level of popularity and acceptance enjoyed by physical sports. Take, for example, the activity known as BarCraft, where “StarCraft II” fans gather in bars to watch pro matches over a cold beer and some snacks. Don’t be surprised if future tournaments generate the same fevered excitement as the World Series of Poker.

 

7 Venture Group’s focus is to bring eSport Tournaments to markets which provide larger venues with international viewership and televised. We will research a market that offers cost-effective event development, addressing market needs, and establishing commercial partnerships, to maximize the value of its products and our shareholder returns.

●             TALENT MANAGEMENT

 

Talent Management is a company which guides the professional career of gamers in the eSport industry. The responsibility of the talent manager is to oversee the day-to-day business affairs of the gamer or team; advise and counsel talent concerning professional matters, long-term plans and personal decisions which may affect their career.

 

The roles and responsibilities of a talent manager vary slightly from talent to talent, as do the commissions to which the management is entitled. Talent management companies have the authority to make deals for their clients such as the ability to negotiate contracts.

 

A Talent management company is there to assist gamers with their career plans. They are focused on the individual and/or the team. They will guide and direct the client in a variety of strategies to increase their employability. They also act as life/career coaches. The relationship is a one-on-one engagement not solely to establish a career but to increase employability. The client and the Talent Management companies typically have a financial agreement in place and must be able to elevate the client’s personal brand in the job market.

 

7 Venture Group focus in the Talent Management industry is to find companies that provide the right service for clients, have the right plans for clients and can bring fortune 500 companies to the table that will sponsor the clients.

 

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of presentation

 

The Company’s accounting policies used in the preparation of the accompanying financial statements conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("US GAAP") and have been consistently applied. Our fiscal year end is December 31.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The most significant estimates include: revenue recognition; sales returns and other allowances; allowance for doubtful accounts; valuation of inventory; valuation and recoverability of long-lived assets; property and equipment; contingencies; and income taxes.

 

On a regular basis, management reviews its estimates utilizing currently available information, changes in facts and circumstances, historical experience and reasonable assumptions. After such reviews, and if deemed appropriate, those estimates are adjusted accordingly. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Cash and cash equivalents

 

The Company includes in cash and cash equivalents all short-term, highly liquid investments that mature within three months of their acquisition date. Cash equivalents consist principally of investments in interest-bearing demand deposit accounts and liquidity funds with financial institutions and are stated at cost, which approximates fair value. For cash management purposes the company concentrates its cash holdings in an account at JP Morgan Chase.

 

F-8
 

 

Foreign currency translation

 

The Company’s functional currency and its reporting currency is the United States Dollar.

 

Financial Instruments

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The carrying amounts reflected in the balance sheets for cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate the respective fair values due to the short maturities of these items. The Company does not hold any investments that are available-for-sale.

 

As required by the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic of the FASB ASC, fair value is measured based on a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows: (Level 1) observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; (Level 2) inputs, other than the quoted prices in markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and (Level 3) unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

 

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

 

Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;

 

Level 2: Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability;

 

Level 3: Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).

 

Income Taxes

 

Income taxes are accounted for under the assets and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.

 

Basic and Diluted Loss per Share

 

The Company follows ASC Topic 260 to account for earnings per share. Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) calculations are determined by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share calculations are determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding. During periods when common stock equivalents, if any, are anti-dilutive they are not considered in the computation.

 

Recent accounting pronouncements

 

The Company evaluated all recent accounting pronouncements issued and determined that the adoption of these pronouncements would not have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations, or cash flows of the Company.

 

3. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

 

Common Stock

 

The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $.01 per share. 29,370,000 common shares were issued and outstanding as at May 31, 2014. During the period ended May 31, 2014, the Company issued 26,000,000 common shares to founders/executives of company and 3,370,000 were issued for services rendered to various individuals at par value of $.01, for a total value of $293,700.

 

As of May 31, 2014, Michael Cummings, CEO of 7 Venture Group, Inc. advanced the Company the amount of $215 for operating purposes. Michael Cummings advanced the funds and does not expect to have them paid back. The amount is included in additional paid in capital.

4. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

As of May 31, 2014, the management of 7 Venture Group, Inc. advanced the Company the amount of $215 for operating purposes. Michael Cummings advanced the funds and does not expect to have them paid back.

 

5. INCOME TAXES

 

A reconciliation of the income tax provision computed at statutory rates to the reported tax provision is as follows:

 

    March 25,
    2014 (Date
    of Inception) to
    May 31
    2014
     
Basic statutory and state income tax rate   35.0%

 

    March 25,  
    2014 (Date  
    of Inception) to  
    May 31  
    2014  
         
Approximate loss before income taxes   $ 115  

 

Expected approximate tax recovery on net loss, before income tax   $ 40  
Changes in valuation allowance     (40 )
         
Deferred income tax recovery   $  

 

Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows:

 

    March 25,  
    2014 (Date  
    of Inception) to  
    May 31  
    2014  
         
Deferred income tax assets        
Non-capital losses carried forward   $ 40  
Mineral properties      
Less: valuation allowance     (40 )
         
Deferred income tax assets   $  

 

At May 31, 2014, the Company has incurred accumulated net operating losses in the United States of America totaling approximately $293,815 which are available to reduce taxable income in future taxation years.

 

These losses expire as follows:

 

Year of Expiry   Amount  
         
2033   $ 293,815  

 

The amount taken into income as deferred tax assets must reflect that portion of the income tax loss carry forwards that is more-likely-than-not to be realized from future operations. The Company has chosen to provide an allowance of 100% against all available income tax loss carry forwards, regardless of their time of expiry.

Cash equivalents consist principally of investments in interest-bearing demand deposit accounts and liquidity funds with financial institutions and are stated at cost, which approximates fair value. For cash management purposes the company concentrates its cash holdings in an account at JP Morgan Chase.

Financial Instruments

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The carrying amounts reflected in the balance sheets for cash and advance from related party approximate the respective fair values due to the short maturities of these items. The Company does not hold any investments that are available-for-sale.

 

As required by the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic of the FASB ASC, fair value is measured based on a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows: (Level 1) observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; (Level 2) inputs, other than the quoted prices in markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and (Level 3) unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

 

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

 

Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;

 

Level 2: Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability;

 

Level 3: Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).

 

Income Taxes

 

Income taxes are accounted for under the assets and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statements carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company records stock based compensation to employees in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 718 which requires the Company to recognize expenses related to the fair value of its employee stock option awards.  This eliminates accounting for share-based compensation transactions using intrinsic value and requires instead that such transactions be accounted for using a fair-value-based method. The Company recognizes the cost of all share-based awards on a graded vesting basis over the vesting period of the award.

 

The Company accounts for equity instruments issued in exchange for the receipt of goods or services from other than employees in accordance with FASB ASC 505-50 and the conclusions reached by the FASB ASC 505-50. Costs are measured at the estimated fair market value of the consideration received or the estimated fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The value of equity instruments issued for consideration other than employee services is determined on the earliest of a performance commitment or completion of performance by the provider of goods or services as defined by FASB ASC 505-50.

 

Basic and Diluted Loss per Share

 

The Company follows ASC Topic 260 to account for earnings per share. Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) calculations are determined by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share calculations are determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding. During periods when common stock equivalents, if any, are anti-dilutive they are not considered in the computation.

 

Recent accounting pronouncements

 

The Company evaluated all recent accounting pronouncements issued and determined that the adoption of these pronouncements would not have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations, or cash flows of the Company.

3. GOING CONCERN

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the recoverability of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. Since its inception, the Company has been engaged substantially in financing activities and developing its business plan and incurring start-up costs and expenses. As a result, the Company incurred net losses for the six months ended November 30, 2014 of $20,619 and accumulated deficit of $314,434. In addition, the Company’s development activities since inception have been financially sustained through debt and equity financing.

 

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to raise additional capital from the sale of common stock and, ultimately, the achievement of significant operating revenues. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts, or amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from this uncertainty.

 

4. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

 

Common Stock

 

The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $.01 per share. 29,370,000 common shares were issued and outstanding as at November 30, 2014 and May 31, 2014. During the period ended May 31, 2014 the Company issued 26,000,000 common shares to founders/executives of company and 3,370,000 were issued for services rendered to various individuals at par value of $.01, for a total value of $293,700.

 

As of May 31, 2014, Michael Cummings, CEO of 7 Venture Group, Inc. contributed to the Company the amount of $215 for operating purposes. The amount is reflected in additional paid in capital.

 

5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

ITEM 14. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

 

As permitted by the California General Corporation Law, we have adopted provisions in our by-laws to be in effect that limits or eliminates the personal liability of our directors. Consequently, a director will not be personally liable to us, or our stockholders, for monetary damages or breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability for:

 

●    any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders;

 

●    any act or omission not in good faith or that involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;

 

●    any unlawful payments related to dividends or unlawful stock repurchases, redemptions or other distributions; or

 

●    any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

 

These limitations of liability do not alter director liability under the federal securities laws and do not affect the availability of equitable remedies such as an injunction or rescission.

 

In addition, our by-laws provide that:

 

we will indemnify our directors, officers and, in the discretion of our board of directors, certain employees to the fullest extent permitted by the California General Corporation Law; and

 

we will advance expenses, including attorneys' fees, to our directors and, in the discretion of our board of directors, to our officers and certain employees, in connection with legal proceedings, subject to limited exceptions.

 

We intend to obtain and thereafter maintain general liability insurance that covers certain liabilities of our directors and officers arising out of claims based on acts or omissions in their capacities as directors or officers, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers, or persons controlling the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

 

These provisions may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against our directors for breach of their fiduciary duty. These provisions may also have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and officers, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit our stockholders and us. Furthermore, a stockholder's investment may be adversely affected to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers pursuant to these indemnification provisions. We believe that these provisions, the indemnification agreements and the insurance are necessary to attract and retain talented and experienced directors and officers.

 

At present, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving any of our directors or officers where indemnification will be required or permitted. We are not aware of any threatened litigation or proceedings that might result in a claim for such indemnification.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS

 

Under Rule 415 of the Securities Act, we are registering securities for an offering to be made on a continuous or delayed basis in the future. The registration statement pertains only to securities (a) the offering of which will be commenced promptly, will be made on a continuous basis and may continue for a period in excess of 30 days from the date of initial effectiveness and (b) are registered in an amount which, at the time the registration statement becomes effective, is reasonably expected to be offered and sold within two years from the initial effective date of the registration.

 

Based on the above-referenced facts and in compliance with the above-referenced rules, 7 Venture Group includes the following undertakings in this Registration Statement:

 

A. The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

 

(1) To file, during any period, in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

 

(i) To include any prospectus required by section 10(a) (3) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended;

 

(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in the volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of the Registration Fee” table in the effective Registration Statement; and

 

(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement.

 

II-2
 

 

 

(1) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new Registration Statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

(2) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

 

B. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
