Item 1. Business

 

Business Development

 

We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on July 11, 2011, as New Era Filing Services, Inc. The Company changed its name to NEF Enterprises, Inc. on October 4, 2011, and on May 29, 2014 the Company changed its name again to Panther Biotechnology, Inc. We incorporated a wholly-owned subsidiary in the State of Florida on September 28, 2011, called New Era Filing Services, Inc. which changed its name to PubCo Reporting Services, Inc. (“PubCo Reporting”) on November 26, 2013. PubCo Reporting was sold on June 1, 2015.

 

On October 31, 2016 (the “Closing Date”), we consummated the transactions contemplated by a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement” or the “Business Combination”), by and between the Company and Brown Technical Media Corporation (“Brown”). In connection with the closing of the Exchange, we issued 32,000,000 restricted shares of our common stock, to the shareholders of Brown, which included Evan M. Levine, our Chief Executive Officer and director (6,600,000 shares of common stock beneficially owned by Mr. Levine, when including minor children and affiliates, who received shares in the Exchange), Noah I. Davis, our President and Chief Operating Officer (7,175,522 shares of common stock beneficially owned by Mr. Davis), and Steven M. Plumb, our Chief Financial Officer (11,469,785 shares of common stock beneficially owned by Mr. Plumb, when including shares held by his minor children and affiliates, who received shares in the Exchange) in consideration for 100% of the outstanding capital stock of Brown, and Brown became our wholly-owned subsidiary. This transaction will be accounted for as a reverse merger with Brown as the surviving entity. The assets of the Company that existed prior to the transaction will be recorded at their historical value as of the closing of the transaction and will be added to the historical cost basis of the assets of Brown.

 

Effective February 1, 2017, we changed our name to Probility Media Corporation.

 

 

 

The Company’s address is 1517 San Jacinto Street, Houston, Texas 77002. The telephone number at this location is 713-652-3937.

 

Brown is a global provider of technical codes and standards, training materials, and e-Learning solutions.

 

Brown was incorporated on January 21, 2014. On January 31, 2104, Brown acquired a 51% interest in Brown Book Shop, Inc., a Texas corporation that was formed as Brown Book Shop, a sole-proprietorship, in 1946, and on June 8, 1976 was incorporated in Texas as Brown Book Shop, Inc. Brown operates a bookstore in Houston, Texas, and operates an e-commerce website, www.browntechnical.org, which includes information we do not desire to incorporate by reference into this filing.

 

On August 6, 2014, Brown formed Pink Professionals, LLC (“Pink”) to develop and market social networking software aimed at female managers and professionals in certain targeted professions, such as Oil and Gas, Finance, and Information Technology. At the time of formation, Brown owned 75% of the membership units of Pink. On October 31, 2014, Brown sold the rights to the use of the software in the Oil and Gas industry to the 25% owner of Pink in exchange for cash consideration and the cancelation of such other owner’s membership units. Accordingly, Brown now owns 100% of the equity in Pink.

 

On October 31, 2016, Brown acquired an additional 49% of Brown Book Shop, Inc. for $50,000 in cash and a note payable in the amount of $208,970. The note is due February 1, 2019, bears interest at 8% per annum, requires monthly payments of principal and interest of $2,244, and a balloon payment of $135,687 after five years. The note is unsecured. As a result of this transaction, Brown now owns 100% of Brown Book Shop, Inc.

 

Brown provides technical professionals with the information required to more effectively design products and construct and complete engineering projects. Its product offerings include content on millions of engineering and technical standards, codes, specifications, handbooks, reference books, journals, and other scientific and technical documents.

 

Brown is an independent provider of print and electronic codes and standards used by engineers and tradesmen to ensure that they are following the national and local building and industrial codes as they perform their jobs. Brown sells individual print and electronic versions of individual codes and subscriptions to sets of codes. Brown also sells aids and guides that assist engineers and tradesmen in the performance of their jobs. Brown publishes its own content and resells the content of independent third parties. In September 2016, Brown established an eLearning division that is involved in producing and distributing online training courses aimed at its target market.

 

As a result of the Exchange transaction, the Company will be pursuing the business operations of Brown and will seek to find a financial partner to continue the development of the pre-Exchange assets of the Company, mainly, Transferrin Doxorubicin (TRF_DOX), which is a combination of transferrin glycoproteins with Doxorubicin for targeted delivery to tumors with the reduction of serious side effects, and reevaluating both Numonafide, which is a derivative of the widely studied anticancer drug, Amonafide, optimized to eliminate toxic metabolites and reduce side effects, and TDZD-8, a kinase inhibitor targeting cancer stem cells. We are not planning on allocating additional cash funding for this project. Instead, management is actively seeking a financial partner to continue the development of Transferrin Doxorubicin. We also agreed to provide the pre-Exchange shareholders of the Company additional shares of common stock, subject to the terms of the Exchange Agreement, in the event that Transferrin Doxorubicin (a) meets the primary endpoint for Phase 2 clinical trials (6 million shares); (b) meets the primary endpoint for Phase 3 clinical trials (8 million shares); and (c) receives FDA Approval/clearance to market (10 million shares), prior to the earlier of January 22, 2020 and the date the assets relating to Transferrin Doxorubicin are sold or divested by us, subject to certain provisions of the Share Exchange which allow us to forgo such issuances, including in the event that the Company’s Board of Directors, reasonably believes, in good faith, on advice of counsel, that issuing the shares is too costly or would unduly burden the Company.

 

 

 

 

The Company is seeking to raise capital to expand the operations of Brown and is pursuing acquisitions of complementary companies that can add content to our eLearning operations. While we plan to continue our business as a provider of technical codes and standards, and training materials, we are focusing future expansion on our eLearning operations. Accordingly, we are adding online training content to our offerings and licensing and acquiring training content. We do not plan to allocate any capital to our biotech assets at this time. Management time will be devoted to efforts to identify a financial partner and to negotiate the terms of an agreement with a financial partner, if one is found, whereby such financial partner will continue to develop the biotech assets.

We are not planning on allocating additional cash funding for this project. Instead, management is actively seeking a financial partner to continue the development of Transferrin Doxorubicin.

 

Recent Events

 

Premier Acquisition

 

On January 19, 2017, we consummated the transactions contemplated by a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Premier Exchange Agreement”), by and between the Company, Premier Purchasing and Marketing Alliance LLC (“Premier”), and the sole member of Premier, Scott Schwartz. In connection with the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Premier Exchange Agreement (the “Premier Exchange”), we acquired 100% of the outstanding membership interests of Premier from Mr. Schwartz in consideration for $50,000 in cash, the First Note, Second Note and Hill Note (each as defined and described below), and 645,000 shares of our restricted common stock (the “Premier Shares”). The amounts owed under the First Note, Second Note and Hill Note are secured by a Security Agreement, providing Mr. Schwartz a first priority security interest in all of the membership interests of Premier. The Premier Exchange has an effective date of January 1, 2017. As part of the transaction, Mr. Schwartz agreed to assume all liability for payables owed by Premier to Hill Electric Supply Co., Inc. (“Hill”), a related party of Mr. Schwartz, as of the effective date of the transaction, pursuant to a Novation Agreement, provided that we agreed to pay all amounts we collect in outstanding accounts receivable as of the effective date to Hill, to pay down such assumed amount. The Premier Share Exchange included standard and customary representations, warranties and indemnification rights.

 

Premier, also known as National Electrical Wholesale Providers (NEWP), is in the business of servicing electrical wholesalers throughout the United States with electrician related study material including the National Electrical Code. Premier provides a complete line of printed reference materials in addition to eBooks, downloadable digital formatting, and mobile applications to all distributors. Premier has significant corporate accounts with electrical wholesale conglomerates making them one of the largest wholesalers of National Electrical Codes in the United States. Premier also covers HVAC, Plumbing, Industrial and Residential trade reference materials with online training for product education, certification and current code practices. Premier services several multibillion dollar companies such as Consolidated Electrical Distributors and Home Depot reaching thousands of accounts in locations throughout the United States.

 

The Premier Shares are subject to a lock-up agreement (the “Lock-Up Agreement”), which prohibits the sale of any Premier Shares for a period of one year and restricts the sale of any of the shares in any thirty day period, for an additional one year thereafter, to 10% of the total volume of our common stock which traded in the prior 30 days, on a rolling basis.

 

The First Promissory Note (the “First Note”) provided to Schwartz at closing evidences the principal amount of $50,000 owed to Schwartz, which accrues interest at the rate of 8% per annum until the maturity date, which is the earlier of September 30, 2017, and the date that we raise at least $1.5 million in funding subsequent to January 1, 2017. The Second Promissory Note (the “Second Note”) provided to Schwartz at closing evidences the principal amount of $50,000 owed to Schwartz, which accrues interest at the rate of 8% per annum until paid in full. The Second Note is payable in three installments of $16,667 each, on January 31, 2017, February 29, 2017 and March 31, 2017. The Hill Promissory Note (the “Hill Note” and together with the First Note and Second Note, the “Notes”) issued at closing evidences the principal amount of $36,830 owed by us to Hill, which amount does not accrue interest and is due and payable on March 1, 2017. The Notes contain standard and customary events of default and may be prepaid at any time without penalty.

 

 

 

 

One Exam Acquisition

 

On January 26, 2017, we consummated the transactions contemplated by a Share Exchange Agreement (the “One Exam Exchange Agreement”), by and between the Company, One Exam Prep LLC (“One Exam”), and the sole member of One Exam, Rob Estell. In connection with the closing of the transactions contemplated by the One Exam Exchange Agreement (the “One Exam Exchange”), we acquired 100% of the outstanding membership interests of One Exam from Mr. Estell in consideration for the Secured Note (defined below). The amount owed under the Secured Note is secured by a Security and Pledge Agreement, providing Mr. Estell a first priority security interest in all of the membership interests of One Exam, and allowing him to take over control and ownership of One Exam if we default in our obligations under the Secured Note. The One Exam Exchange has an effective date of January 1, 2017. The One Exam Share Exchange included standard and customary representations, warranties and indemnification rights.

 

As additional consideration for agreeing to the terms of the transaction, we agreed to issue Mr. Estell up to 1,000,000 shares of restricted common stock of the Company, as an earn-out, with shares being issued in fiscal 2017 and/or fiscal 2018 (up to a maximum of 1,000,000 in aggregate for both years (the “Earn-Out Shares”)), based on the following calculation: (a) total annual revenue of One Exam (for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2018, as applicable) minus $1,000,000, divided by three, (b) plus total net profit of One Exam minus $100,000, multiplied by three, multiplied by (c) 0.30.

 

One Exam is in the business of exam preparation with a focus on construction training and certification. One Exam offers eLearning courses and weekly training classes and certification in a wide variety of topics for contractors with continuing education in 22 states with a goal of servicing all 50 states. One Exam owns over 70 domains pertaining to contractor licensing and continuing education throughout the United States. One Exam has written dozens of courses which are offered both in an online e-learning setting or in a classroom.

 

The Non-Recourse Secured Convertible Promissory Note (the “Secured Note”) provided to Mr. Estell at closing, evidences the principal amount of $300,000 owed to Mr. Estell, which does not accrue interest. Beginning on the first business day which falls thirty days after the earlier of (a) January 20, 2018; and (b) the date we determine in our sole discretion, and continuing month to month thereafter, a portion of the principal amount of the Secured Note equal to the lesser of (A) ten percent (10%) of the total trading volume of our common stock for the thirty (30) days prior to such applicable date; and (B) such number of shares of common stock as equals 4.99% of our then outstanding shares of common stock, multiplied by $0.50 per share, automatically converts into common stock. Additionally, on the first business day following January 20, 2019, the remaining balance of the Secured Note converts into common stock at a conversion price of $0.50 per share. If we fail to comply with any of the provisions of the Secured Note, Mr. Estell’s sole remedy is to take back ownership of the membership interests representing 100% of the ownership of One Exam. The Secured Note contains standard and customary events of default and may be prepaid at any time without penalty. Mr. Estell also entered into a Lock-Up Agreement with us in connection with the closing.

 

As part of the One Exam Exchange, we entered into a Consulting Agreement with Mr. Estell. The Consulting Agreement continues until December 31, 2020, terminable by either party with 90 days prior notice at any time, or 10 days’ notice by us upon the material breach of any term of the Consulting Agreement by Mr. Estell. We agreed to pay Mr. Estell compensation of $1,500 per week during the first year of the term; $1,575 per week during the second year of the term; and $1,654 per week during the third year of the term and Mr. Estell agreed to customary confidentiality and work made for hire terms in the agreement. We also agreed that Mr. Estell would be paid a $60,000 signing bonus, payable in four installments of $15,000 each on April 30, 2017, May 30, 2017, June 30, 2017 and July 30, 2017, and that Mr. Estell could earn a bonus on June 30th and December 31st, of each year during the term of the agreement, equal to (a) total revenue generated by One Exam and other related companies and assets we may acquire in the future, less (i) $500,000, less (ii) 50% of the total revenue for the prior annual period of any related companies and assets we may acquire in the future, (b) divided by 100 (rounded down to the nearest $250,000 increment); plus (x) total gross profit generated by One Exam and other related companies and assets we may acquire in the future, less (i) $37,500, less (ii) 50% of the total gross profit for the prior annual period of any related companies and assets we may acquire in the future; (y) divided by 100 (rounded down to the nearest $25,000 increment)(the “Bonus”). We are required to calculate the Bonus as soon as practicable after each June 30th and December 31st, and pay the Bonus due promptly after such calculation is made. In the event that the revenue or gross profit calculation above is negative, we shall decrease the applicable Bonus, provided that the Bonus may not be less than $0, provided further that any negative Bonus calculation for any period ending June 30th, carries over and adjusts downward any positive Bonus for any period ending December 31st.

 

 

 

 

Reports to Security Holders

 

We are required to file quarterly, annual and current reports, proxy statements and other information with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 12(b) or (g) of the Exchange Act. The public may read and copy any materials filed by us with the SEC at the SEC’s Public Reference Room at 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 20549. The public may obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. The Company files its reports electronically with the SEC. The SEC maintains an Internet site that contains reports, proxy and information statements, and other electronic information regarding issuers that file electronically with the SEC at http://www.sec.gov.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors

 

Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider each of the following risk factors and all of the other information set forth in this filing, including our consolidated financial statements and related notes, before investing in our common stock. The following risks and the risks described elsewhere in this filing, including in the section entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” could materially harm our business, financial condition, future results and cash flow. If that occurs, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment.

 

We have future capital needs and without adequate capital we may be forced to cease or curtail our business operations.

 

Our growth and continued operations could be impaired by limitations on our access to capital markets. The limited capital we have raised to date may be inadequate for our long-term growth and to support our operations. If financing is available, it may involve issuing securities senior to our common stock. In addition, in the event we do not raise additional capital from conventional sources, such as our existing investors or commercial banks, there is every likelihood that our growth will be restricted and we may be forced to scale back or curtail implementing our business plan. Even if we are successful in raising capital in the future, we will likely need to raise additional capital to continue and/or expand our operations. If we do not raise the additional capital, the value of any investment in our Company may become worthless. In the event we do not raise additional capital from conventional sources, it is likely that we may need to scale back or curtail implementing our business plan.

 

We have received a going concern opinion from our auditors and we are currently operating at a loss, which raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Our auditors have issued a going concern opinion. Although we are currently conducting operations, the Company has not generated a net profit since inception. This raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to raise additional capital and implement its business plan.

 

Changing economic conditions in the United States could harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

Our revenues and profitability are related to general levels of economic activity and employment primarily in the United States. As a result, an economic recession in the United States could harm our business and financial condition. If the economies in which our customers operate are weakened in any future period, these companies may reduce their expenditures on external training, and other products and services supplied by us, which could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. As we expand our business globally, we may be subject to additional risks associated with economic conditions in the countries into which we enter or in which we expand our operations.

 

 

 

 

If we cannot successfully implement our business strategy, then our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

 

Our ability to successfully implement our business strategy is subject to a number of risks, many of which are beyond our control, including:

 

	·	rising development costs for eLearning courses,
	·	higher technology costs due to the trend toward delivering more educational content in both digital and traditional print formats,
	·	rising advances for popular authors and market pressures to maintain competitive retail pricing,
	·	a material increase in product returns or in certain production costs,
	·	market acceptance of new technology products, including online or computer-based learning,
	·	changing demographics and preferences of vocational students and teachers that may affect product offerings and revenues, and
	·	consolidation in the eLearning vocational training market.

 

We may not be able to successfully implement our business strategy and, even if successfully implemented, our strategy may not improve our operating results. In addition, we may decide to alter or discontinue aspects of our business strategy and may adopt alternative or additional strategies due to business or competitive factors or factors not currently expected, such as unforeseen costs and expenses or events beyond our control. If we are unable to successfully implement our business strategy our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

 

We have made, and may be required to make in the future, substantial investments in our technology infrastructure. If we do not make such investments or do not effectively make such investments, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially adversely affected.

 

The method of delivering our products is subject to technological change. Over the past several years, we have made significant investments in technology, including spending on computer hardware, software, electronic systems, telecommunications infrastructure and digitization of our content. We expect our investment in technology to continue at significant levels. Additional capital will be necessary in order to make these investments. If we do not make such investments or do not effectively make such investments, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially adversely affected. In addition, we cannot predict whether technological innovations will, in the future, make some of our products, particularly those printed in traditional formats, wholly or partially obsolete. If we are unable to identify, develop and successfully integrate technological innovations, or our competitors are able to better integrate technological innovations, we may not be able to effectively compete, and, therefore, we may experience a loss in sales or we may be required to invest additional significant resources to further adapt to the changing competitive environment.

 

 

 

 

 

Our intellectual property and proprietary rights may not be adequately protected under current laws which could harm our competitive position and materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Our success depends, in part, on our proprietary content. The product offerings of Brown are largely comprised of intellectual property content owned by third parties that is delivered through a variety of media, including textbooks, digital learning solutions and the Internet. We also currently distribute a small number of products comprised of content that we own. We and the third party content owners rely on copyright and other intellectual property laws to establish and protect the proprietary rights in these products. However, these proprietary rights may be challenged, invalidated or circumvented. We also own the United States patent rights for TRF-DOX, United States Patent No. US 7001991 B2. This is the only patent that we own. We currently have two licensed patents, one owned patent and copyright license agreements (“Copyright Agreements”) with six authors. These Copyright Agreements utilize a standard form, incorporated by reference as an Exhibit to this filing. These agreements grant the Company an exclusive license to the marketing and sale of the content, specify royalty rates and are in effect for the term of the underlying copyright. Our intellectual property rights in the United States, the primary jurisdiction in which we conduct business, are well-established. However, we also conduct business in other countries, such as China and India, where the extent of effective legal protection for intellectual property rights is uncertain, and this uncertainty could affect our current performance and future growth. Moreover, despite copyright and trademark protection, third parties may be able to copy, infringe, illegally distribute, import or resell or otherwise profit from our proprietary rights without our authorization. These unauthorized activities may be more easily facilitated by the Internet. In addition, the lack of Internet-specific legislation relating to intellectual property protection creates an additional challenge for us in protecting our proprietary rights relating to our online business processes and other digital technology rights. The steps taken by us to protect our proprietary information may not be adequate to prevent misappropriation of our content or technology. In addition, our proprietary rights may not be adequately protected because:

 

	·	people may not be deterred from misappropriating our technologies despite the existence of laws or contracts prohibiting such actions,
	·	policing unauthorized use of our intellectual property can be difficult, expensive and time-consuming (which may divert our management’s time from implementing our business strategy), and we may be unable to determine the extent of any unauthorized use, and
	·	the laws of other countries in which we may market our products may offer little or no effective protection for our proprietary technologies.

 

We may also be required to initiate expensive and time-consuming litigation to defend our intellectual property or to maintain our intellectual property. If we are not able to adequately protect our intellectual property rights and proprietary rights, our competitive position may be harmed and our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

 

As a result of sales outside of the United States, we face additional risks, which may harm our results of operations.

 

A portion of our sales are outside of the United States and, as a result, we are subject to foreign business, political and economic risks. Additionally, a portion of our customers are located outside of the United States, which further exposes us to foreign risks.

 

Our non-U.S. sales are directly influenced by the political and economic conditions of the region in which they are located. Accordingly, we are subject to risks associated with international sales, including:

 

	·	political, social and economic instability, including wars, terrorism, political unrest, boycotts, curtailment of trade and other business restrictions;
	·	compliance with domestic and foreign export and import regulations, and difficulties in obtaining and complying with domestic and foreign export, import and other governmental approvals, permits and licenses;
	·	local laws and practices that favor local companies, including business practices that we are prohibited from engaging in by the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and other anti-corruption laws and regulations;
	·	natural disasters, including earthquakes, tsunamis and floods;
	·	trade restrictions or higher tariffs;
	·	transportation delays;
	·	difficulties of managing distributors;
	·	less effective protection of intellectual property than is afforded to us in the United States or other developed countries;
	·	inadequate local infrastructure; and
	·	exposure to local banking, currency control and other financial-related risks.

 

As a result of having global sales, the sudden disruption of the supply chain and/or the manufacture of our products caused by events outside of our control could impact our results of operations by impairing our ability to timely and efficiently deliver our products. Moreover, the international nature of our business subjects us to risk associated with the fluctuation of the U.S. dollar versus foreign currencies. Decreases in the value of the U.S. dollar versus currencies in jurisdictions where we have large fixed costs or our third-party manufacturers have significant costs will increase the costs of such operations, which could harm our results of operations.

 

 

 

 

We may face intellectual property infringement claims that could be time-consuming and costly to defend and could result in our loss of significant rights.

 

Litigation regarding copyrights and other intellectual property rights is extensive in the publishing industry, including claims involving the terms by which photographs and other content are licensed to us for inclusion in our textbooks and other products. We may be subject to such claims in the future. Our third-party suppliers may also become subject to infringement claims, which in turn could negatively impact our business.

 

Litigation is expensive and time-consuming and could divert management’s attention from our business and could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. If there is a successful claim of infringement against us, our customers or our third-party intellectual property providers, we may be required to pay substantial damages to the party claiming infringement, stop selling products or using technology that contains the allegedly infringing intellectual property, or enter into royalty or license agreements that may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all. All of these requirements could damage our business. We may have to develop non-infringing technology and our failure in doing so or obtaining licenses to the proprietary rights on a reasonable or timely basis could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

We may not be willing or able to maintain the availability of information obtained through licensing arrangements or the terms of our licensing arrangements may change, which may reduce our profit margins or our market share.

 

In February 11, 2016, we incorporated a new subsidiary, Brown Technical Publications, Inc. (BTP) with the intent of publishing original content obtained through licensing agreements. On March 28, 2016, we executed our first publishing agreement. In April 2016, we began selling the first product developed by BTP and in July 2016, we began shipping books published under the March 28, 2016, licensing agreement. We generated $4,102 and $0 of revenue from the sales of these products during the years ended October 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. We currently have copyright license agreements (“Copyright Agreements”) with six authors. These Copyright Agreements utilize a standard form, incorporated by reference as an Exhibit to this filing. These agreements grant the Company an exclusive license to the marketing and sale of the content, specify royalty rates and are in effect for the term of the underlying copyright. The remainder of our revenue is derived from the sale of third party and alternate content providers. Our largest supplier for this content is IHS Markit. The terms of our agreement with IHS Markit are incorporated by reference as an Exhibit to this filing. Some content providers may seek to increase licensing fees for providing their proprietary content to us. In such case, our profit margins may be reduced if we are unable to pass along such price increases to our customers. We may also find it unprofitable to continue offering these products and may decide to stop offering them for sale. If we are unable to renegotiate acceptable licensing arrangements with these content providers or find alternative sources of equivalent content, the quality of our content may decline and as a result we may experience a reduction in our market share, and our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially adversely affected.

 

Our business relies on our hosting facilities and electronic delivery systems and any failures or disruptions may adversely affect our ability to serve our customers.

 

We depend on the capacity, reliability and security of our hosting facilities and electronic delivery systems to provide our online library reference materials and other online products to our customers. Certain events, such as loss of service from third parties, operational failures, sabotage, break-ins, and similar disruptions from unauthorized tampering or hacking, human error, national disasters, power loss, or computer viruses, could cause our electronic delivery systems to operate slowly or interrupt their availability for periods of time. Any back-up systems or facilities we maintain may also experience interruptions and loss of service. We do not have a back-up facility for some of our online products. If disruptions, failures or slowdowns of our facilities, electronic delivery systems, or back-up systems or facilities occur, our ability to distribute our products and services effectively and to serve our customers may be adversely affected and we may experience harm to our reputation and loss of revenues.

 

 

 

 

A security breach involving our products and services or our customers’ credit, debit card or private data could subject us to material claims and additional costs and could harm our reputation.

 

Our customers depend on our products and services to collect, secure, store and transmit confidential information. In connection with credit card sales, we transmit and store confidential credit and debit card information. We also have access to, collect or maintain private or confidential information regarding our customers and employees, as well as our business. Third parties may attempt to breach the security of our systems, products and services. Any security breach for which we are, or are perceived to be, responsible, in whole or in part, could subject us to claims that could harm our reputation and result in significant costs to defend, settle or satisfy. Any imposition of liability, particularly liability that is not covered by insurance or is in excess of insurance coverage, could materially harm our operating results. Computer viruses, physical or electronic break-ins and similar disruptions could lead to interruptions and delays in customer processing or a loss of data. We might be required to expend significant financial and other resources to protect against further security breaches or to rectify problems caused by any security breach.

 

We have and may continue to outsource certain functions to third parties and these arrangements may not be successful, thereby resulting in increased costs, or may materially adversely affect service levels, results of operations and our financial reporting.

 

We rely on third party providers of outsourced services to provide services on a timely and effective basis. These services include, among others, printing of textbooks, payroll and benefits administration and specific activities related to general accounting, fixed asset and accounts payable functions. We do not ultimately control the performance of our outsourcing partners and the failure of third-party providers of outsourced services to perform as required by contract or to our expectations could result in significant disruptions and costs to our operations, which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations and our ability to report financial information accurately and in a timely manner.

 

If we do not adequately manage and develop our operational and managerial systems and processes, our ability to manage and grow our business may be harmed.

 

We need to continue to improve existing, and implement new, operational and managerial systems to manage our business effectively. Any delay in the implementation of, or disruption in the transition to, our new or enhanced systems, could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

	·	limitations on the repatriation of funds to the United States,
	·	challenges in enforcing agreements and collecting receivables under certain foreign legal systems,
	·	lack of local acceptance or knowledge of our products and services,
	·	lack of recognition of our brands, unavailability of joint venture partners or local companies for acquisition,
	·	instability of international economies and governments,
	·	changes in legal, regulatory and tax requirements,
	·	exposure to varying legal standards, including intellectual property protection laws, in other jurisdictions,
	·	general economic and political conditions in the countries in which we operate, and
	·	changes in foreign governmental regulations or other governmental actions that would have a direct or indirect adverse impact on our business and market opportunities.

 

We are also subject to the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act which generally prohibits companies and their intermediaries from making payments to foreign officials for the purpose of obtaining or keeping business. While we have procedures designed to ensure our compliance with such laws, these procedures may fail or may not protect us against liability as a result of actions that may be taken in the future by our agents and other intermediaries, including those over whom we may have limited or no control.

 

Our success will depend, in part, on our ability to anticipate and effectively manage these and other risks associated with our operations outside the United States.

 

 

 

 

If we are unable to identify, complete and successfully integrate acquisitions, our ability to grow our business may be limited and our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely impacted.

 

Our acquisition strategy involves a number of risks, including:

 

	·	our ability to find suitable businesses to acquire at affordable valuations or on other acceptable terms,
	·	competition for acquisition targets may lead to higher purchase prices or one of our competitors acquiring one of our acquisition targets,
	·	prohibition of future acquisitions under United States or foreign antitrust laws,
	·	the diversion of management’s attention from existing operations to the integration of acquired companies,
	·	our inability to realize expected cost savings and synergies,
	·	expenses, delays and difficulties of integrating acquired businesses into our existing business structure, and
	·	difficulty in retaining key customers and management personnel.

 

If we are unable to continue to acquire and efficiently integrate suitable acquisition candidates, our ability to increase revenues and fully implement our business strategy may be adversely impacted, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Changes to laws and regulations may have an adverse effect on our business.

 

Our business and customers’ businesses are subject to United States federal, state and local and international laws and regulations, including laws and regulations relating to intellectual property, libel, privacy, accessibility, product offerings and financial aid eligibility and laws and regulations applicable generally to businesses. New laws and regulations and changes to existing laws and regulations applicable to us and our customers may restrict or require a change to how we and our customers conduct business and could have an adverse effect on our business.

 

We may not be able to attract or retain key employees.

 

Our future success depends on the continued services of key employees and our ability to attract and retain new employees with the experience and capabilities necessary to support our needs. The loss of any of the key employees or the failure to attract and retain suitably skilled new employees could adversely affect our business, financial condition and our results of operations.

 

There are risks associated with our indebtedness.

 

As of October 31, 2016, we had unsecured term loans with an aggregate principal balance of $1,297,081 (excluding amortization of discount). We may incur additional indebtedness in the future through offerings of debt securities or through traditional debt agreements. Our outstanding indebtedness and any additional indebtedness we incur may have significant consequences, including, without limitation, any of the following:

 

	·	we will be required to use cash reserves to pay the principal of and interest on our indebtedness;
	·	our indebtedness and leverage may increase our vulnerability to adverse changes in general economic and industry conditions, as well as to competitive pressure;
	·	our ability to obtain additional financing for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions or for general corporate and other purposes may be limited; and
	·	our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and our industry may be limited.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Our ability to make payments of principal of and interest on our indebtedness depends upon our future performance, which will be subject to general economic conditions, industry cycles and financial, business and other factors affecting our consolidated results of operations and financial condition, many of which are beyond our control. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow from operations in the future to service our debt, we may be required to, among other things:

 

	·	seek additional capital through the sale of equity securities;
	·	seek additional financing in the debt markets;
	·	refinance or restructure all or a portion of our indebtedness;
	·	sell selected assets; or
	·	reduce or delay planned capital or operating expenditures.

 

Such measures might not be sufficient to enable us to service our debt. Our failure to satisfy our obligations under the agreements governing our indebtedness could result in an event of default, which could permit our secured lenders to foreclose on our assets and stock securing such indebtedness. In addition, any such financing, refinancing or sale of assets might not be available on economically favorable terms or at all.

 

The price of our common stock is highly volatile and could decline regardless of our operating performance.

 

The market price of our common stock could fluctuate in response to, among other things:

 

	·	changes in economic and general market conditions;
	·	changes in the outlook and financial condition of certain of our significant customers and industries in which we have a concentration of business;
	·	changes in financial estimates, treatment of our tax accounting or liabilities or investment recommendations by securities analysts following our business;
	·	changes in accounting standards, policies, guidance, interpretations or principles;
	·	sales of common stock by our directors, officers and significant stockholders;
	·	our failure to achieve operating results consistent with projections; and
	·	the operating and stock price performance of competitors.

 

These factors may adversely affect the trading price of our common stock and prevent you from selling your common stock at or above the price at which you purchased it. In addition, in recent periods, the stock market has experienced significant price and volume fluctuations. This volatility has had a significant impact on the market price of securities issued by many companies, including ours and others in our industry. These changes can occur without regard to the operating performance of the affected companies. As a result, the price of our common stock could fluctuate based upon factors that have little or nothing to do with our company, and these fluctuations could materially reduce our share price.

 

Our financial results are subject to quarterly fluctuations, which may result in volatility or declines in our stock price.

 

We experience, and expect to continue to experience, fluctuations in quarterly operating results. Consequently, you should not deem our results for any particular quarter to be necessarily indicative of future results. Factors that may affect quarterly operating results in the future include:

 

	·	the overall level of services and products sold;
	·	the volume of publications we ship each quarter, because revenue and cost of publications contracts are recognized in the quarter during which the publications ship;
	·	fluctuations in project profitability;
	·	the gain or loss of material clients;
	·	the timing, structure and magnitude of acquisitions;
	·	participant training volume and general levels of outsourcing demand from clients in the industries that we serve;
	·	the budget and purchasing cycles of our customers.
	·	the commencement or completion of client engagements or services and products in a particular quarter; and
	·	the general level of economic activity.

 

 

 

 

 

Accordingly, it is difficult for us to forecast our growth and results of operations on a quarterly basis. If we fail to meet expectations of investors or analysts, our stock price may fall rapidly and without notice. Furthermore, the fluctuation of quarterly operating results may render less meaningful period-to-period comparisons of our operating results.

 

We may continue making acquisitions as part of our growth strategy, which subjects us to numerous risks that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

As part of our growth strategy, we may continue to pursue selective acquisitions of businesses that broaden our service and product offerings, deepen our capabilities and allow us to enter attractive new domestic and international markets. Pursuit of acquisitions exposes us to many risks, including that:

 

	·	acquisitions may require significant capital resources and divert management’s attention from our existing business;
	·	acquisitions may not provide the benefits anticipated;
	·	acquisitions could subject us to contingent or other liabilities, including liabilities arising from events or conduct predating the acquisition of a business that were not known to us at the time of the acquisition;
	·	we may incur significantly greater expenditures in integrating an acquired business than had been initially anticipated;
	·	acquisitions may create unanticipated tax and accounting problems; and
	·	acquisitions may result in a material weakness in our internal controls if we are not able to successfully establish and implement proper controls and procedures for the acquired business.

 

Our failure to successfully accomplish future acquisitions or to manage and integrate completed or future acquisitions could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. We can provide no assurances that we:

 

	·	will identify suitable acquisition candidates;
	·	can consummate acquisitions on acceptable terms;
	·	can successfully compete for acquisition candidates against larger companies with significantly greater resources;
	·	can successfully integrate any acquired business into our operations or successfully manage the operations of any acquired business; or
	·	will be able to retain an acquired company’s significant client relationships, goodwill and key personnel or otherwise realize the intended benefits of any acquisition.

 

In addition, acquisitions might involve our entry into new businesses that might not be as profitable as we expect. We can provide no assurances that our expectations regarding the profitability of future acquisitions will prove to be accurate. Acquisitions might also increase our exposure to the risks inherent in certain markets or industries.

 

As a result of completed and possible future acquisitions, our past performance is not indicative of future performance, and investors should not base their expectations as to our future performance on our historical results.

 

Future acquisitions may require that we incur debt or issue dilutive equity.

 

Future acquisitions may require us to incur additional debt, under our existing credit facility or otherwise, or issue equity, resulting in additional leverage or dilution of ownership.

 

Difficulties in integrating acquired businesses could result in reduced revenues and income.

 

We might not be able to integrate successfully any business we have acquired or could acquire in the future. The integration of the businesses could be complex and time consuming and will place a significant strain on our management, administrative services personnel and information systems. This strain could disrupt our business. Furthermore, we could be adversely impacted by liabilities of acquired businesses. We could encounter substantial difficulties, costs and delays involved in integrating common accounting, information and communication systems, operating procedures, internal controls and human resources practices, including incompatibility of business cultures and the loss of key employees and customers. Also, depending on the type of acquisition, a key element of our strategy may include retaining management and key personnel of the acquired business to operate the acquired business for us. Our inability to retain these individuals could materially impair the value of an acquired business. In addition, small businesses acquired by us may have greater difficulty competing for new work as a result of being part of our larger entity. These difficulties could reduce our ability to gain customers or retain existing customers, and could increase operating expenses, resulting in reduced revenues and income and a failure to realize the anticipated benefits of acquisitions.

 

 

 

 

Competition could materially and adversely affect our performance.

 

The training industry is highly fragmented and competitive, with low barriers to entry and no single competitor accounting for a significant market share. Our competitors include divisions of several large publicly traded and privately held companies, vocational and technical training schools, degree-granting colleges and universities, continuing education programs and thousands of small privately held training providers and individuals. Moreover, we expect to face additional competition from new entrants into the training and performance improvement market due, in part, to the evolving nature of the market and the relatively low barriers to entry. 

 

We cannot provide any assurance that we will be able to compete successfully in the industries or markets in which we compete, and the failure to do so could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

Failure to keep pace with technology and changing market needs could harm our business.

 

Our future success will depend upon our ability to adapt to changing client needs, to gain expertise in technological advances rapidly and to respond quickly to evolving industry trends and market needs. We may not be able to expand our operations into all geographic areas into which we seek to expand our services and may not be able to attract and retain qualified personnel to provide our services in all such geographic areas. We may not be successful in adapting to advances in technology or marketing our products in advanced formats. In addition, products delivered in the newer formats might not provide comparable training results. Furthermore, subsequent technological advances might render moot any successful expansion of the methods of delivering our products. If we are unable to develop new means of delivering our products due to capital, personnel, technological or other constraints, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.

 

We have only a limited ability to protect the intellectual property rights that are important to our success, and we face the risk that our services or products may infringe upon the intellectual property rights of others.

 

Our future success depends, in part, upon our ability to protect our proprietary methodologies and other intellectual property. Existing laws of some countries in which we provide or license or intend to provide or license our services or products may offer only limited protection of our intellectual property rights. We rely upon a combination of trade secrets, confidentiality policies, non-disclosure and other contractual arrangements and copyright and trademark laws to protect our intellectual property rights. The steps we take in this regard might not be adequate to prevent or deter infringement or other misappropriation of our intellectual property, and we may not be able to detect unauthorized use or take appropriate and timely steps to enforce our intellectual property rights. Protecting our intellectual property rights might also consume significant management time and resources.

 

Our services and products, or the products of others that we offer to our clients, may infringe on the intellectual property rights of third parties, and we might have infringement claims asserted against us or against our clients. These claims might harm our reputation, result in financial liabilities and prevent us from offering some services or products. We have generally agreed in our contracts to indemnify our clients against expenses or liabilities resulting from claimed infringements of the intellectual property rights of third parties. In some instances, the amount of these indemnities could be greater than the revenues we receive from the client. Any claims or litigation in this area, whether we ultimately win or lose, could be time-consuming and costly, injure our reputation or require us to enter into royalty or licensing arrangements. We might not be able to enter into these royalty or licensing arrangements on acceptable terms. Any limitation on our ability to provide or license a service or product could cause us to lose revenue-generating opportunities and require us to incur additional expenses to develop new or modified solutions for future projects.

 

 

 

 

 

Our information technology systems are subject to risks that we cannot control.

 

Our information technology systems are dependent upon global communications providers, web browsers, telephone systems, and other aspects of the Internet infrastructure that have experienced system failures and electrical outages in the past. Our systems are susceptible to slow access and download times, outages from fire, floods, power loss, telecommunications failures, hacking, and similar events. Our servers are vulnerable to computer viruses, hacking, and similar disruptions from unauthorized tampering with our computer systems. The occurrence of any of these events could disrupt or damage our information technology systems and inhibit our internal operations, our ability to provide services to our customers, and the ability of our customers to access our information technology systems. This could result in our loss of customers, loss of revenue or a reduction in demand for our services.

 

A breach of our security measures could harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

Our databases contain confidential data of our clients and our clients’ customers, employees and vendors, including sensitive personal data. As a result, we are subject to numerous laws and regulations designed to protect this information and various U.S. federal and state laws governing the protection of health or other personally identifiable information. These laws and regulations are increasing in complexity and number, change frequently and sometimes conflict among the various countries in which we operate. A party, including our employees, who is able to circumvent our security measures could misappropriate such confidential information or interrupt our operations. Many of our contracts require us to comply with specific data security requirements. If we are unable to maintain our compliance with these data security requirements or any person, including any of our current or former employees, penetrates our network security or misappropriates sensitive data, we could be subject to significant liabilities to our clients for breaching these data security requirements or other contractual confidentiality provisions. These liabilities might not be subject to a contractual limit of liability or an exclusion of consequential or indirect damages and could be significant. Furthermore, unauthorized disclosure of sensitive or confidential data of our clients or other parties, whether through breach of our computer systems, systems failure or otherwise, could also damage our reputation and cause us to lose existing and potential clients. We may also be subject to civil actions, regulatory enforcement actions, and criminal prosecution for breaches related to such data or need to expend significant capital and other resources to continue to protect against security breaches or to address any problem they may cause. In addition, our liability insurance, which includes cyber insurance, might not be sufficient in type or amount to cover us against claims related to security breaches, cyberattacks and other related breaches.

 

Risks related to development, regulatory approval and commercialization.

 

Our 2015 agreements with Northwestern University, University of Rochester and Faulk Pharmaceuticals, will be dependent on the successful development, regulatory approval and commercialization of our biotechnology products, which are in early stage development. The success of our business, including our ability to finance our Company and generate any revenue in the future, primarily will depend on the successful development, regulatory approval and commercialization of our products. In the future, we may also become dependent on one or more of other product candidates of any future product candidates that we may in-license, acquire or develop.

 

The clinical and commercial success of our biotechnology products will depend on a number of factors, including the following:

 

·

The ability to find a financial partner;

·

Timely completion of our clinical trials, once commenced;

·

Whether the U.S. Food and Drug Administration or similar foreign regulatory agencies conduct additional clinical trials beyond those planned to support the approval and commercialization of our products or future products;

·

The ability to manufacture and scale the target and portfolio candidate products;

·

Acceptance of our proposed indications and primary endpoint assessments relating to the proposed indications of our products by the FDA and similar foreign regulatory authorities;

·

The ability to demonstrate to the satisfaction of the FDA and similar foreign authorities: 1) the safety and efficacy of our products or any future products, 2) the timely receipt of marketing approvals, and 3) the prevalence, duration and severity of potential side effects experienced with our products or future products;

·

Our ability to successfully commercialize our products or any future products in the United States and internationally;

·

Acceptance by physicians and patients of the benefits, safety and efficacy of our products or any future products, if approved, including relative to alternative and competing treatments;

·

The ability to establish and enforce intellectual property rights in and to our products or any future products;

·

The ability to avoid third-party patent interference or intellectual property infringement claims; and

·

The ability to in-license or acquire additional products or commercial-stage products that we believe can be successfully developed and commercialized.

 

 

 

 

 

If we do not achieve one or more of these factors, many of which are beyond our control, in a timely manner or at all, we could experience significant delays or an inability to obtain regulatory approvals or commercialize our products. Even if regulatory approvals are obtained, we may never be able to successfully commercialize any of our biotechnology products.

 

We are expanding into new markets in which we have a limited operating history in and expect to continue to incur losses for an indeterminable period of time.

 

We have a limited operating history with our current business plan. While Brown has been in business since 1946, we only began operating as an internet based company in 2014. We are currently expanding into the online training market. Companies that are expanding into new markets and changing the primary means of generating revenue face substantial business risks and may suffer significant losses. We face challenges and uncertainties in financial planning as a result of the unavailability of historical data and uncertainties regarding the nature, scope and results of our future activities. The Company must develop successful new business relationships, establish operating procedures, hire staff, install management information and other systems, establish facilities and obtain licenses, as well as take other measures necessary to conduct its new business activities. We may not be successful in implementing our business strategies or in completing the development of the infrastructure necessary to conduct our business as planned. As a result of industry factors or factors relating specifically to us, we may have to change our methods of conducting business, which may cause a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. As a result, we may not be able to achieve or sustain profitability or positive cash flows provided by our operating activities in the future.

 

We do not presently intend to pay any cash dividends on or repurchase any shares of our common stock.

 

We do not presently intend to pay any cash dividends on our common stock or to repurchase any shares of our common stock. Any payment of future dividends will be at the discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend on, among other things, our earnings, financial condition, capital requirements, level of indebtedness, statutory and contractual restrictions applying to the payment of dividends and other considerations that our Board of Directors deems relevant. Cash dividend payments in the future may only be made out of legally available funds and, if we experience substantial losses, such funds may not be available. Accordingly, you may have to sell some or all of your common stock in order to generate cash flow from your investment, and there is no guarantee that the price of our common stock that will prevail in the market will ever exceed the price paid by you.

 

Shareholders may be diluted significantly through our efforts to obtain financing and satisfy obligations through the issuance of additional shares of our common stock.

 

We may attempt to use non-cash consideration to satisfy obligations moving forward. In many instances, we believe that the non-cash consideration will consist of restricted shares of our common stock or convertible securities, convertible into shares of our common stock. Our directors have authority, without action or vote of the shareholders, to issue all or part of the authorized but unissued shares of common stock. In addition, we may attempt to raise capital by selling shares of our common stock (either restricted shares in private placements or registered shares), possibly at a discount to market in the future. These actions will result in dilution of the ownership interests of existing shareholders, may further dilute common stock book value, and that dilution may be material. Such issuances may also serve to enhance existing management’s ability to maintain control of the Company because the shares may be issued to parties or entities committed to supporting existing management.

 

 

 

 

Investors may face significant restrictions on the resale of our common stock due to federal regulations of penny stocks.

 

Our common stock will be subject to the requirements of Rule 15g-9, promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as long as the price of our common stock is below $5.00 per share. Under such rule, broker-dealers who recommend low-priced securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors must satisfy special sales practice requirements, including a requirement that they make an individualized written suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s consent prior to the transaction. The Securities Enforcement Remedies and Penny Stock Reform Act of 1990 also requires additional disclosure in connection with any trades involving a stock defined as a penny stock. 

 

Generally, the Commission defines a penny stock as any equity security not traded on an exchange or quoted on NASDAQ that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share. The required penny stock disclosures include the delivery, prior to any transaction, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the risks associated with it. Such requirements could severely limit the market liquidity of the securities and the ability of purchasers to sell their securities in the secondary market.

 

In addition, various state securities laws impose restrictions on transferring “penny stocks” and as a result, investors in the common stock may have their ability to sell their shares of the common stock impaired.

 

We currently have a sporadic, illiquid, volatile market for our common stock, the market for our common stock is and may remain sporadic, illiquid, and volatile in the future.

 

We currently have a highly sporadic, illiquid and volatile market for our common stock, which market is anticipated to remain sporadic, illiquid and volatile in the future and will likely be subject to wide fluctuations in response to several factors, including, but not limited to:

 

·

actual or anticipated variations in our results of operations;

·

our ability or inability to generate revenues;

·

the number of shares in our public float;

·

increased competition; and

·

conditions and trends in the market for our products.

 

Because our common stock is traded on the OTCQB, our stock price may be impacted by factors that are unrelated or disproportionate to our operating performance. These market fluctuations, as well as general economic, political and market conditions, such as recessions, interest rates or international currency fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of our common stock. Due to the limited volume of our shares which trade, we believe that our stock prices (bid, ask and closing prices) may not be related to the actual value of the Company, and not reflect the actual value of our common stock. Shareholders and potential investors in our common stock should exercise caution before making an investment in the Company, and should not rely on the publicly quoted or traded stock prices in determining our common stock value, but should instead determine the value of our common stock based on the information contained in the Company’s public reports, industry information, and those business valuation methods commonly used to value private companies.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Because we are a small company, the requirements of being a public company, including compliance with the reporting requirements of the exchange act and the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the Dodd-Frank Act, may strain our resources, increase our costs and distract management, and we may be unable to comply with these requirements in a timely or cost-effective manner.

 

As a public company, we must comply with the federal securities laws, rules and regulations, including certain corporate governance provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the Dodd-Frank Act, related rules and regulations of the SEC, with which a private company is not required to comply. Complying with these laws, rules and regulations will occupy a significant amount of time of our sole director and management and will significantly increase our costs and expenses, which we cannot estimate accurately at this time. Among other things, we must:

 

·

establish and maintain a system of internal control over financial reporting in compliance with the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the related rules and regulations of the SEC and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board;

·

prepare and distribute periodic public reports in compliance with our obligations under the federal securities laws;

·

maintain various internal compliance and disclosures policies, such as those relating to disclosure controls and procedures and insider trading in our common stock;

·

involve and retain to a greater degree outside counsel and accountants in the above activities;

·

maintain a comprehensive internal audit function; and

·

maintain an investor relations function.

 

In addition, being a public company subject to these rules and regulations may require us to accept less director and officer liability insurance coverage than we desire or to incur substantial costs to obtain coverage. These factors could also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified members of our Board of Directors .

 

We will not be required to comply with certain provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act for as long as we remain an “emerging growth company”.

 

We are not currently required to comply with the SEC rules that implement Sections 302 and 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and are therefore not required to make a formal assessment of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting for that purpose. Upon becoming a public company, we are required to comply with certain rules relating to Sections 302 and 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which will require management to certify financial and other information in our quarterly and annual reports and provide an annual management report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Though we will be required to disclose changes made in our internal control procedures on a quarterly basis, we will not be required to make our first annual assessment of our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 until the later of the year following our first annual report required to be filed with the SEC, or the date we are no longer an “emerging growth company” as defined in the JOBS Act.

 

Our independent registered public accounting firm is not required to formally attest to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting until the later of the year following our first annual report required to be filed with the SEC, or the date we are no longer an “emerging growth company.” At such time, our independent registered public accounting firm may issue a report that is adverse in the event it is not satisfied with the level at which our controls are documented, designed or operating.

 

Reduced disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies may make our common stock less attractive to investors.

 

As an “emerging growth company,” we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies,” including not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive because we may rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and our stock price may be more volatile.

 

 

 

 

As an “emerging growth company” under the jumpstart our business startups act (JOBS), we are permitted to rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements.

 

We qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act. As a result, we are permitted to, and intend to, rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements. For so long as we are an emerging growth company, we will not be required to:

 

·

have an auditor report on our internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act;

·

comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (i.e., an auditor discussion and analysis);

·

submit certain executive compensation matters to shareholder advisory votes, such as “say-on-pay” and “say-on-frequency;” and

·

disclose certain executive compensation related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the CEO’s compensation to median employee compensation.

 

In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We will remain an emerging growth company for up to five full fiscal years, although if the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of any October 31 before that time, we would cease to be an emerging growth company as of the following April 30, or if our annual revenues exceed $1 billion, we would cease to be an emerging growth company the following fiscal year, or if we issue more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt in a three-year period, we would cease to be an emerging growth company immediately.

 

Notwithstanding the above, we are also currently a “smaller reporting company,” meaning that we are not an investment company, an asset-backed issuer, nor a majority-owned subsidiary of a parent company that is not a smaller reporting company, and has a public float of less than $75 million and annual revenues of less than $50 million during the most recently completed fiscal year. If we are still considered a “smaller reporting company” at such time as we cease to be an “emerging growth company,” we will be subject to increased disclosure requirements. However, the disclosure requirements will still be less than they would be if we were not considered either an “emerging growth company” or a “smaller reporting company.” Specifically, similar to “emerging growth companies”, “smaller reporting companies” are able to provide simplified executive compensation disclosures in their filings; are exempt from the provisions of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requiring that independent registered public accounting firms provide an attestation report on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting; and have certain other decreased disclosure obligations in their SEC filings, including, among other things, only being required to provide two years of audited financial statements in annual reports. Decreased disclosures in its SEC filings due to its status as an “emerging growth company” or “smaller reporting company” may make it harder for investors to analyze the Company’s results of operations and financial prospects.

 

Item 2. Properties

 

Our principal administrative office is located at 1517 San Jacinto Street, Houston, Texas 77002. We lease 13,199 square feet under a lease that calls for monthly lease payments of $7,506 per month and expires on September 30, 2019. We sub lease 3,073 square feet to tenants. Our sub-lease income was approximately $63,000 in the year ended October 31, 2016. On October 1, 2016, the sub-lease was extended and sub-lease rent increased to $4,289 per month.

 

We also maintain a business address at 888 Prospect Street, Suite 200, La Jolla, California 92037 on a month to month lease at a cost of $200 per month.

Description of Securities

 

We have authorized capital stock consisting of 100,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.001 par value per share (“Preferred Stock”).

 

Common Stock

 

Voting Rights. Holders of common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. Directors are appointed by a plurality of the votes present at any special or annual meeting of stockholders (by proxy or in person), and a majority of the votes present at any special or annual meeting of stockholders (by proxy or in person) shall determine all other matters. There is no cumulative voting of the election of directors then standing for election. The common stock is not entitled to pre-emptive rights and is not subject to conversion or redemption.

 

Dividend Rights. The holders of outstanding shares of common stock are entitled to receive dividends out of assets or funds legally available for the payment of dividends at such times and in such amounts as the board from time to time may determine.

 

Liquidation. Upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the assets legally available for distribution to stockholders are distributable ratably among the holders of the common stock after payment of liquidation preferences, if any, on any outstanding payment of other claims of creditors.

 

 

 

 

 

Other Rights. All of our outstanding shares of common stock are fully paid and non-assessable. The holders of our common stock have no preemptive rights and no rights to convert their common stock into any other securities, and our common stock is not subject to any redemption or sinking fund provisions.

 

Preferred Stock

 

Shares of Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series, each of which shall have such distinctive designation or title as shall be determined by our Board prior to the issuance of any shares thereof. Preferred Stock shall have such voting powers, full or limited, or no voting powers, and such preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights and such qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, as shall be stated in such resolution or resolutions providing for the issue of such class or series of Preferred Stock as may be adopted from time to time by the Board prior to the issuance of any shares thereof. The number of authorized shares of Preferred Stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of all the then outstanding shares of our capital stock entitled to vote generally in the election of the directors, voting together as a single class, without a separate vote of the holders of the Preferred Stock, or any series thereof, unless a vote of any such holders is required pursuant to any Preferred Stock Designation.

 

Additionally, while it is not possible to state the actual effect of the issuance of any additional shares of Preferred Stock on the rights of holders of the common stock until the Board determines the specific rights of the holders of any additional shares of Preferred Stock, such rights may be superior to those associated with our common stock, and may include:

 

	·	Restricting dividends on the common stock;
	·	Rights and preferences including dividend and dissolution rights, which are superior to our common stock;
	·	Diluting the voting power of the common stock;
	·	Impairing the liquidation rights of the common stock; or
	·	Delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company without further action by the stockholders.

 

Anti-Takeover Provisions Under The Nevada Revised Statutes

 

Business Combinations

 

Sections 78.411 to 78.444 of the Nevada revised statues (the “NRS”) prohibit a Nevada corporation from engaging in a “combination” with an “interested stockholder” for three years following the date that such person becomes an interested shareholder and place certain restrictions on such combinations even after the expiration of the three-year period. With certain exceptions, an interested stockholder is a person or group that owns 10% or more of the corporation’s outstanding voting power (including stock with respect to which the person has voting rights and any rights to acquire stock pursuant to an option, warrant, agreement, arrangement, or understanding or upon the exercise of conversion or exchange rights) or is an affiliate or associate of the corporation and was the owner of 10% or more of such voting stock at any time within the previous three years.

 

A Nevada corporation may elect not to be governed by Sections 78.411 to 78.444 by a provision in its articles of incorporation or bylaws. We have such a provision in our Articles of Incorporation, as amended and Bylaws, as amended, pursuant to which we have elected to opt out of Sections 78.411 to 78.444; therefore, these sections do not apply to us.

 

Control Shares

 

Nevada law also seeks to impede “unfriendly” corporate takeovers by providing in Sections 78.378 to 78.3793 of the NRS that an “acquiring person” shall only obtain voting rights in the “control shares” purchased by such person to the extent approved by the other shareholders at a meeting. With certain exceptions, an acquiring person is one who acquires or offers to acquire a “controlling interest” in the corporation, defined as one-fifth or more of the voting power. Control shares include not only shares acquired or offered to be acquired in connection with the acquisition of a controlling interest, but also all shares acquired by the acquiring person within the preceding 90 days. The statute covers not only the acquiring person but also any persons acting in association with the acquiring person.

 

 

 

 

 

A Nevada corporation may elect to opt out of the provisions of Sections 78.378 to 78.3793 of the NRS. We have a provision in our Articles of Incorporation, as amended, pursuant to which we have elected to opt out of Sections 78.378 to 78.3793; therefore, these sections do not apply to us.

 

Removal of Directors

 

Section 78.335 of the NRS provides that 2/3rds of the voting power of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company are required to remove a Director from office. As such, it may be more difficult for shareholders to remove directors due to the fact the NRS requires greater than majority approval of the shareholders for such removal.

 

Dividend Policy

 

There are no restrictions in our articles of incorporation or bylaws that restrict us from declaring dividends. The Nevada Revised Statutes, however, do prohibit us from declaring dividends where, after giving effect to the distribution of the dividend:

 

	1.	we would not be able to pay our debts as they become due in the usual course of business; or
	2.	our total assets would be less than the sum of our total liabilities, plus the amount that would be needed to satisfy the rights of shareholders who have preferential rights superior to those receiving the distribution.

 

We have not declared any dividends. We do not plan to declare any dividends in the foreseeable future.

 

Equity Compensation Plan Information

 

We do not have in effect any compensation plans under which our equity securities are authorized for issuance and we do not have any outstanding stock options.

For the Year Ended October 31, 2016 compared to the Year ended October 31, 2015 

 

Revenue

 

The revenue increased $952,116 from $2,137,858 for the year ended October 31, 2015 to $3,089,974 for the year ended October 31, 2016. The increase was due to an increase in web site sales during the period, as a result of increased advertising, marketing and sales efforts.

 

Cost of sales

 

Cost of sales increased $1,035,408, from $1,417,225 for the year ended October 31, 2015 to $2,452,633 for the year ended October 31, 2016. Cost of sales are variable with sales. The increase was due to the increased sales during the period. Our costs as a percentage of sales increased during this period also as a result of temporary sales promotions run during 2016, increased costs from third party web sites that carry our products, such as Amazon.com, as our volume of sales from these third party sites has increased by $559,766 from $121,267 for the year ended October 31, 2015 to $681,033 for the year ended October 31, 2016. The costs associated with these sales have increased by $105,290, from $26,471 for the year ended October 31, 2015 to $131,761 for the year ended October 31, 2016. In addition, publishers of the codes and standards that we sell have been increasing the prices that they charge for their products and we have not been able to pass these increases on to our customers.

 

 

 

Gross profit

 

Gross profit decreased $83,292, from $720,633 for the year ended October 31, 2015 to $637,341 for the year ended October 31, 2016. The decrease in gross margins was due to increased sales promotions during 2016, a write off of obsolete inventory of $216,047 during the year ended October 31, 2016, and increased cost of goods sold. Gross margins fell from 34% for the year ended October 31, 2015 to 21% for the year ended October 31, 2016.

 

General and administrative expenses

 

General and administrative expenses increased $144,047, from $645,323 for the year ended October 31, 2015 to $789,370 for the year ended October 31, 2016. The increase was due to increases in the following categories: salaries of $62,536, bad debt expense of $44,952, credit card processing fees of $8,689 and decreases in the following categories: property taxes of $8,416, utilities of $3,603, tradeshow costs of $11,171, and other costs of $25,459.

 

Professional fees

 

Professional fees for the year ended October 31, 2016 decreased $11,074, from $234,027 for the year ended October 31, 2015 to $222,953 for the year ended October 31, 2016. Professional fees consist of software development costs and consulting fees. The decrease was due to decreased spending on software development during the year ended October 31, 2016 because of the winding down of the rollout of new websites that began during the year ending October 31, 2015.

 

Other income and expense

 

Interest expense increased $26,523, from $69,238 for the year ended October 31, 2015 to $95,761 for the year ended October 31, 2016 due to higher levels of borrowing during the year ended October 31, 2016. Gain on sale of intangible property decreased $60,100, from $60,100 for the year ended October 31, 2015 to zero for the year ended October 31, 2016, due to the one-time gain realized during the year ended October 31, 2015 on the sale of a website that the Company developed. Amortization of note discount increased $82,065 from $0 for the year ended October 31, 2015 to $82,065 for the year ended October 31, 2016 due to the amortization of original issued discounts associated with borrowings made during the year ended October 31, 2016.

 

Net income or loss

 

Net loss for the year increased $385,189, from $181,594 for the year ended October 31, 2015 to $566,783 for the year ended October 31, 2016 primarily due to higher interest expenses of $26,523 and increased general and administrative costs of $144,047 and decreased gross margin of $83,292, offset by the reduction in gain on sale of intangible property of $60,100.

 

Plan of Operations

 

The Company is currently comprised of two divisions, (1) an online aggregator of eLearning, standards, and codes for professional industries (Brown) and (2) a developer of Transferrin Doxorubicin, a conjugate of Transferrin Glycoproteins and Doxorubicin for the treatment of cancer (ProBility). The management team will manage both divisions concurrently with the intent of maximizing overall shareholder value. The Company is considering adding additional divisions in different industries to grow into a global conglomerate as discussed below.

 

Moving forward the Company intends to grow the Company into one of the leading eLearning companies through both organic growth and strategic acquisitions. Organic growth is expected through efforts of:

 

	·	increasing the online footprint,
	·	increasing eLearning offerings,
	·	improving efficiencies in staffing, process, inventory management and margins,
	·	publishing original content, and
	·	private labeling additional content.

 

 

 

 

Management is currently pursuing acquisitions, strategic partnerships, new dedicated synergistic web site launches, new titles and content, new training opportunities and new online services. Management is also actively seeking a financial partner to continue the development of Transferrin Doxorubicin.

 

We are a public entity, subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and will incur ongoing expenses associated with professional fees for accounting, legal and a host of other expenses for annual reports and proxy statements. We estimate that these accounting, legal and other professional costs to be a minimum of $75,000 in the next year and will be higher, in the following years, if our business volume and activity increases. Increased business activity could greatly increase our professional fees for reporting requirements, and this could have a significant impact on future operating costs. The difference between having the ability to sustain our cash flow requirements over the next twelve months and the need for additional outside funding will be dependent upon whether we can sustain and/or increase our sales revenue and raise the appropriate amount of capital.

The Company had total assets of $1,028,028 as of October 31, 2016, including $637,443 of current assets, including $238,608 of intangible assets, net, relating to the fair market value of the Faulk Assets (as defined and described in Note 5 to the audited financial statements included in “Item 8.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors

Probility Media Corporation

(formerly Panther Biotechnology, Inc.)

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Probility Media Corporation (formerly Panther Biotechnology, Inc.) (the “Company”) as of October 31, 2016 and 2015, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years in the two-year period ended October 31, 2016. The Company’s management is responsible for these financial statements. 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 audit 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Probility Media Corporation (formerly Panther Biotechnology, Inc.) as of October 31, 2016 and 2015, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended October 31, 2016 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that Probility Media Corporation (formerly Panther Biotechnology, Inc.) will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, Probility Media Corporation (formerly Panther Biotechnology, Inc.) has suffered recurring losses from operations that 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 3. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

Organization and Business Activity

 

Probility Media Corporation (formerly Panther Biotechnology, Inc.) (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on July 11, 2011. The Company was originally incorporated as New Era Filing Services Inc., changed its name to NEF Enterprises, Inc. on October 4, 2011, changed its name to Panther Biotechnology, Inc. on October 29, 2014 and Probility Media Corporation on February 1, 2017. The Company incorporated a wholly-owned subsidiary, PubCo Reporting Services, Inc., formerly known as New Era Filing Services, Inc., in Florida on November 20, 2012. Effective June 1, 2015, the Company sold Pubco Reporting Services, Inc. to its then management.

 

On October 31, 2016 (the “Closing Date”), we consummated the transactions contemplated by a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement” or the “Business Combination”), by and between the Company and Brown Technical Media Corporation (“Brown”). In connection with the closing of the Exchange, we issued 32,000,000 restricted shares of our common stock, to the shareholders of Brown, which included Evan M. Levine, our Chief Executive Officer and director (6,600,000 shares of common stock beneficially owned by Mr. Levine, when including minor children and affiliates, who received shares in the Exchange), Noah I. Davis, our President and Chief Operating Officer (7,175,522 shares of common stock beneficially owned by Mr. Davis), and Steven M. Plumb, our Chief Financial Officer (11,469,785 shares of common stock beneficially owned by Mr. Plumb, when including shares held by his minor children and affiliates, who received shares in the Exchange) in consideration for 100% of the outstanding capital stock of Brown, and Brown became our wholly-owned subsidiary. This transaction will be accounted for as a reverse merger with Brown as the surviving entity. The assets of the Company that existed prior to the transaction will be recorded at their historical value as of the closing of the transaction and will be added to the historical cost basis of the assets of Brown.

 

Brown Technical Media Corp. (“Brown”) was incorporated on January 21, 2014 and is a provider of codes, standards, training materials and related materials in print and electronically to small, medium and large businesses, government, and non-profit organizations in the United States.

 

Brown acquired a 51% interest on January 31, 2014 in Brown Book Shop, Inc., (“Brown Books”) a Texas corporation that was formed as Brown Book Shop, a sole-proprietorship, in 1946, and on June 8, 1976 was incorporated in Texas as Brown Book Shop, Inc. The Company operates a bookstore in Houston, Texas, as well as operate an e-commerce website www.browntechnical.org. On October 31, 2016, Brown acquired the remaining 49% of Brown Books.

 

On August 6, 2014, Brown formed Pink Professionals, LLC (“Pink”) to develop and market social networking software aimed at female managers and professionals in certain targeted professions, such as Oil and Gas, Finance and Information Technology. At the time of formation, Brown owned 75% of the membership units of Pink. On October 31, 2014, Brown sold the rights to the use of the software in the Oil and Gas industry to the 25% owner of Pink in exchange for cash consideration and the cancelation of such 25% owner’s membership units. Accordingly, Brown now owns 100% of the equity in Pink.

 

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The Financial Statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and accounts are eliminated in consolidation.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make use of certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported periods. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONT’D)

 

Business Combinations

 

The Company accounts for all business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting, which allocates the fair value of the purchase consideration to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the purchase consideration over the fair values of these identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. When determining the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, management makes significant estimates and assumptions. The Company may utilize third-party valuation specialists to assist the Company in the allocation. Initial purchase price allocations are subject to revision within the measurement period, not to exceed one year from the date of acquisition. Acquisition-related expenses and transaction costs associated with business combinations are expensed as incurred.

 

Cash

 

Cash and cash equivalents include short-term investments with original maturities of 90 days or less. The recorded value of our cash and cash equivalents approximates their fair value.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and typically do not bear interest. The Company provides allowances for doubtful accounts related to accounts receivable for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. The Company takes into consideration the overall quality of the receivable portfolio along with specifically-identified customer risks.

 

Merchandise Inventory

 

Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or market value. Cost is determined using a weighted-average cost method. Price protection is recorded when earned as a reduction to the cost of inventory. The Company decreases the value of inventory for estimated obsolescence equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and the estimated market value, based upon an aging analysis of the inventory on hand, specifically known inventory-related risks, and assumptions about future demand and market conditions. The Company has no allowance as of October 31, 2016 and 2015.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. The Company calculates depreciation expense using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of their useful lives or the initial lease term. Expenditures for major renewals and improvements that extend the useful life of property and equipment are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. The estimated useful lives of property and equipment are as follows:

 

	Classification	Estimated Useful Lives
	Equipment	5 to 7 years
	Leasehold improvements	4 to 5 years
	Furniture and fixtures	4 to 7 years

Fair Value Measurements

 

Fair value is defined under GAAP as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A fair value hierarchy has been established for valuation inputs to prioritize the inputs into three levels based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market. Each fair value measurement is reported in one of the three levels which is determined by the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. These levels are:

 

Level 1 – observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.

 

Level 2 – inputs are based on quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

 

Level 3 – inputs are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The fair values are therefore determined using model-based techniques that include option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company records revenue from sales transactions when title and risk of loss are passed to the customer, there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement for sale, shipment has occurred and/or services have been rendered, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. The Company’s shipping terms typically specify F.O.B. origination, at which time title and risk of loss have passed to the customer.

 

The Company leverages drop-shipment arrangements with many of its vendors and suppliers to deliver products to its customers without having to physically hold the inventory at its warehouses, thereby increasing efficiency and reducing costs. The Company recognizes revenue for drop-shipment arrangements upon shipment to the customer with contract terms that typically specify F.O.B. shipping point.

 

The Company records freight billed to its customers as revenue and the related freight costs as a cost of sales.

 

Sales Taxes

 

The State of Texas imposes a sales tax on the Company’s sales to nonexempt customers. The Company collects that sales tax from customers and remits the entire amount to the State. The Company’s accounting policy is to exclude the tax collected and remitted to the State from revenue and cost of revenues.

 

Leases

 

All leases are reviewed for capital or operating classification at their inception under the guidance of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 840, “Leases” (“ASC 840”). We use our incremental borrowing rate in the assessment of lease classification, and define initial lease term to include the construction build-out period, but to exclude lease extension period(s). We conduct operations primarily under operating leases. For leases that contain rent escalations, we record the total rent payable during the lease term, as defined above, on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease and record the difference between the rents paid and the straight-line rent as a deferred rent liability.

Advertising Costs

 

We expense advertising costs as incurred and recorded $199,055 and $156,547 during the years ended October 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

 

Income Taxes

 

Deferred income taxes are provided to reflect the differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in the Financial Statements using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Company performs an evaluation of the realizability of deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis. This evaluation requires management to make use of estimates and assumptions and considers all positive and negative evidence and factors, such as the scheduled reversal of temporary differences, the mix of earnings in the jurisdictions in which the Company operates, and prudent and feasible tax planning strategies.

 

The Company accounts for unrecognized tax benefits based upon its assessment of whether a tax benefit is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. The Company reports a liability for unrecognized tax benefits resulting from unrecognized tax benefits taken or expected to be taken in a tax return and recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to its unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense.

 

Intangible Assets

 

Intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated period of benefit. We evaluate the recoverability of intangible assets periodically and take into account events or circumstances that warrant revised estimates of useful lives or that indicate that impairment exists. All of our intangible assets are subject to amortization. No impairment of intangible assets was identified for the year ended October 31, 2016 and 2015.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 

The Company reviews the carrying value of its long-lived assets annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the historical cost-carrying value of an asset should no longer be appropriate. The Company assesses recoverability of the carrying value of the asset by estimating the future net undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the asset, including eventual disposition. If the future net undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset, an impairment loss is recorded equal to the difference between the asset’s carrying value and estimated fair value.

 

Investments in Equity Interest

 

The Company reviews its investments for other-than-temporary impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the investment may not be fully recoverable. Investments identified as having an indication of impairment are subject to further analysis to determine if the impairment is other-than-temporary and this analysis requires estimating the fair value of the investment. The determination of fair value of the investment involves considering factors such as current economic and market conditions, the operating performance of the companies including current earnings trends and forecasted cash flows, and other company and industry specific information.

Share-based Expenses

 

ASC 718 “Compensation – Stock Compensation” prescribes accounting and reporting standards for all share-based payment transactions in which employee services are acquired. Transactions include incurring liabilities, or issuing or offering to issue shares, options, and other equity instruments such as employee stock ownership plans and stock appreciation rights. Share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, are recognized as compensation expense in the financial statements based on their fair values. That expense is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award, known as the requisite service period (usually the vesting period).

 

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation issued to non-employees and consultants in accordance with the provisions of ASC 505-50, “Equity – Based Payments to Non-Employees” Measurement of share-based payment transactions with non-employees is based on the fair value of whichever is more reliably measurable: (a) the goods or services received; or (b) the equity instruments issued. The fair value of the share-based payment transaction is determined at the earlier of performance commitment date or performance completion date.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company believes that the fair value of its financial instruments comprising cash, accounts payable, and convertible notes approximate their carrying amounts. As of October 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company had no Level 1 or Level 2 financial assets or liabilities, and Level 3 financial liabilities consisted of the Company’s derivative liability.

Loss per Share

 

Basic loss per common share equals net loss divided by weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share includes the impact on dilution from all contingently issuable shares, including options, warrants and convertible securities. The common stock equivalents from contingent shares are determined by the treasury stock method. The Company incurred net losses for the years ended October 31, 2016 and 2015, and therefore, basic and diluted loss per share for those periods are the same as all potential common equivalent shares would be antidilutive. For the year ended October 31, 2016, the Company had 33,000 common stock warrants outstanding that were excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share because to do so would be anti-dilutive.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes

 

In November 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes, simplifying the balance sheet classification of deferred taxes by requiring all deferred taxes, along with any related valuation allowance, to be presented as noncurrent. This ASU is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of 2017, allows for early adoption and may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. This ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s Financial Statements.

 

Accounting for Measurement Period Adjustments in a Business Combination

 

In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-16, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments, eliminating the requirement for an acquirer in a business combination to account for measurement-period adjustments retrospectively. Instead, acquirers must recognize measurement-period adjustments during the period in which they determine the amounts, including the effect on earnings of any amounts they would have recorded in previous periods if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. This ASU is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of 2016, allows for early adoption and must be applied prospectively to adjustments to provisional amounts occurring after the effective date. This ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s Financial Statements.

Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory

 

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory, amending the subsequent measurement of inventory by requiring inventory to be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value instead of the lower of cost or market value. This ASU is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of 2017, allows for early adoption and must be applied prospectively after the date of adoption. This ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s Financial Statements.

 

Debt Issuance Costs

 

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Interest—Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, amending the presentation of debt issuance costs by requiring deferred financing costs related to a recognized debt liability to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for deferred financing costs are not affected by the amendments in this ASU. This ASU is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of 2016, allows for early adoption permitted and requires retrospective application to all prior periods. This ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s Financial Statements.

 

In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-15, Interest—Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements—Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to Staff Announcement at June 18, 2015 EITF Meeting (SEC Update), clarifying the SEC’s views on the presentation and subsequent measurement of debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements. The ASU allows for an entity to defer and present debt issuance costs associated with line-of-credit arrangements as an asset and subsequently amortize the deferred debt issuance costs ratably over the term of the line-of-credit arrangement, regardless of whether there are any outstanding borrowings on the line-of-credit arrangements. This ASU is effective upon issuance and the Company adopted it in the third quarter of 2015. This ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s Financial Statements.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), replacing most existing revenue recognition guidance under GAAP and eliminating industry specific guidance. The core principal of the new guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue for the transfer of goods and services equal to an amount it expects to be entitled to receive for those goods and services. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date, deferring the effective date by one year. This ASU will be effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of 2018, allows for early adoption in the first quarter of 2017 and may be applied using either a full retrospective approach or a modified retrospective approach. This ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s Financial Statements.

 

The Company does not expect the adoption of any recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year financial statements to conform to the current year presentation.

NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN AND LIQUIDITY CONSIDERATIONS

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has a cumulative net loss since inception of $770,486, negative working capital of $1,181,164 and has required additional capital raises and credit card advances to support its operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. The Company’s continuation as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate revenues and its ability to continue receiving capital from shareholders and other related parties and obtain financing from third parties. No assurance can be given that the Company will be successful in these efforts.

 

The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 5 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (CONT’D)

 

The agreement will continue in effect, on a country-by country basis, until the expiration of the last to expire of patent rights.

 

The Northwestern License required that the Company raise $3,000,000 dollars prior to the one year anniversary of the agreement on January 26, 2016. The Company did not raise the requisite amount of capital and is in default on the license agreement. Although the Company has not received a notice of default from Northwestern regarding the default, the Company recognized an impairment charge of $198,820 related to the Northwestern License, which represents the net book value of the intangible asset prior to the Brown Transaction. On December 16, 2016 the Company and Northwestern mutually agreed to terminate the license. In conjunction with the termination, Northwestern agreed to waive the payment of any outstanding license and milestone payments.

 

License Agreement with University of Rochester

 

On April 16, 2015, the Company entered into an exclusive patent license agreement with University of Rochester (“Rochester”). Rochester granted the Company a worldwide exclusive, royalty-bearing license, with the right to sublicense, for patents and technology related to the treatment of diabetes (the “Patent Products”). According to the agreement, the Company will reimburse Rochester for all mutually agreed fees and costs relating to the filing, prosecution, and maintenance of patent applications, including without limitation, interferences, oppositions, and reexaminations, and the maintenance and defense of patents in patent rights, including fees and cost incurred on, and after the closing date of the agreement.

 

As partial consideration for the rights conveyed by Rochester under this agreement, the Company agreed to issue 25,437 shares of the Company’s common stock to Rochester as a one-time, non-refundable, non-creditable license issue fee valued at $200,000 based upon the average price per share during the week preceding the closing date, which was $7.86. Rochester could not transfer the shares before August 30, 2016. The Company capitalized the $200,000 as an intangible license asset on the consolidated balance sheet.

 

In addition to the above license fee, for the term of the agreement on an annual basis measured from the closing date of the agreement, the Company will pay at the beginning of the following year a non-refundable minimum annual maintenance fee of $15,000 in cash  or Company stock each year prior to the onset of clinical trials. The Company has not made this payment and is in default on the agreement. Rochester will waive the pre-clinical trial annual maintenance fee if the Company spends at least $200,000 annually on the drug development that would impinge the patent rights conveyed. After onset of clinical trials, the Company will pay a non-refundable minimum annual maintenance fee of $25,000 in cash or Company stock each year or part of year until the first product is commercialized and sales royalty payments begin. Annual maintenance fees paid in cash will be credited against the costs of maintaining the Patent Rights for that year.

 

During the term of this Agreement, the Company agreed to pay to Rochester an earned royalty of 5% of the first $10,000,000, 4% of the second $10,000,000, 3% of the third $10,000,000, 2% of the fourth $10,000,000 in net sales revenue produced from Patent Products, and l % of all remaining net sales revenue produced from Patent Products. Earned royalty payments are due and payable within 30 days of the end of each calendar quarter.

 

The Company agreed to pay to Rochester 50% of all cash and non-cash consideration derived from sublicenses granted by the Company in Patent Products, excluding earned royalties, loans, equity investments, and research and development support.

Increases or decreases in the Company’s share price, the volatility of the share price, changes in interest rates in general, and the passage of time will all impact the value of the derivative instrument. The Company re-values the derivative instrument at the end of each reporting period and any changes are reflected as changes in derivative liabilities in the consolidated statements of operations.

In connection with the closing of the transactions contemplated by the One Exam Exchange Agreement (the “One Exam Exchange”), we acquired 100% of the outstanding membership interests of One Exam from Mr. Estell in consideration for the Secured Note (defined below).

NOTE 16 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS (CONT’D)

 

One Exam is in the business of exam preparation with a focus on construction training and certification. One Exam offers eLearning courses and weekly training classes and certification in a wide variety of topics for contractors with continuing education in 22 states with a goal of servicing all 50 states. One Exam owns over 70 domains pertaining to contractor licensing and continuing education throughout the United States. One Exam has written dozens of courses which are offered both in an online e-learning setting or in a classroom.

 

The Non-Recourse Secured Convertible Promissory Note (the “Secured Note”) provided to Mr. Estell at closing, evidences the principal amount of $300,000 owed to Mr. Estell, which does not accrue interest. Beginning on the first business day which falls thirty days after the earlier of (a) January 20, 2018; and (b) the date we determine in our sole discretion, and continuing month to month thereafter, a portion of the principal amount of the Secured Note equal to the lesser of (A) ten percent (10%) of the total trading volume of our common stock for the thirty (30) days prior to such applicable date; and (B) such number of shares of common stock as equals 4.99% of our then outstanding shares of common stock, multiplied by $0.50 per share, automatically converts into common stock. Additionally, on the first business day following January 20, 2019, the remaining balance of the Secured Note converts into common stock at a conversion price of $0.50 per share. If we fail to comply with any of the provisions of the Secured Note, Mr. Estell’s sole remedy is to take back ownership of the membership interests representing 100% of the ownership of One Exam. The Secured Note contains standard and customary events of default and may be prepaid at any time without penalty. Mr. Estell also entered into a Lock-Up Agreement with us in connection with the closing.

 

As part of the One Exam Exchange, we entered into a Consulting Agreement with Mr. Estell. The Consulting Agreement continues until December 31, 2020, terminable by either party with 90 days prior notice at any time, or 10 days’ notice by us upon the material breach of any term of the Consulting Agreement by Mr. Estell. We agreed to pay Mr. Estell compensation of $1,500 per week during the first year of the term; $1,575 per week during the second year of the term; and $1,654 per week during the third year of the term and Mr. Estell agreed to customary confidentiality and work made for hire terms in the agreement. We also agreed that Mr. Estell would be paid a $60,000 signing bonus, payable in four installments of $15,000 each on April 30, 2017, May 30, 2017, June 30, 2017 and July 30, 2017, and that Mr. Estell could earn a bonus on June 30th and December 31st, of each year during the term of the agreement, equal to (a) total revenue generated by One Exam and other related companies and assets we may acquire in the future, less (i) $500,000, less (ii) 50% of the total revenue for the prior annual period of any related companies and assets we may acquire in the future, (b) divided by 100 (rounded down to the nearest $250,000 increment); plus (x) total gross profit generated by One Exam and other related companies and assets we may acquire in the future, less (i) $37,500, less (ii) 50% of the total gross profit for the prior annual period of any related companies and assets we may acquire in the future; (y) divided by 100 (rounded down to the nearest $25,000 increment)(the “ Bonus ”). We are required to calculate the Bonus as soon as practicable after each June 30th and December 31st, and pay the Bonus due promptly after such calculation is made. In the event that the revenue or gross profit calculation above is negative, we shall decrease the applicable Bonus, provided that the Bonus may not be less than $0, provided further that any negative Bonus calculation for any period ending June 30th, carries over and adjusts downward any positive Bonus for any period ending December 31st.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure

 

On September 1, 2016, our Board of Directors dismissed GBH CPAs, P.C. (“GBH”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm and appointed LBB & Associates Ltd, LLP. The report of GBH on the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal years ended May 31, 2015 and 2014 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor was it qualified or modified as to audit scope or accounting principles. The report did include an explanatory paragraph about the uncertainty as to the Registrant’s ability to continue as a going concern. During the period of GBH’s engagement as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm through September 1, 2016 (the “Engagement Period”), there were no disagreements as defined in Item 304 of Regulation S-K with GBH on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of GBH, would have caused it to make reference in connection with any opinion to the subject matter of the disagreement. Further, during the Engagement Period, there were no reportable events (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).

 

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in its Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

 

Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act) Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this annual report, has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective and that material weaknesses described below exists in our internal control over financial reporting based on his evaluation of these controls and procedures as required by paragraph (b) of Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15.

 

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer and effected by our Board of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

 

Our evaluation of internal control over financial reporting includes using the COSO framework, an integrated framework for the evaluation of internal controls issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, to identify the risks and control objectives related to the evaluation of our control environment.

 

Based on our evaluation under the frameworks described above, our management concluded that as of October 31, 2016, that our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective and that material weakness exists in our internal control over financial reporting. The material weaknesses consists of controls associated with segregation of duties, no audit committee, and a lack of written policies and procedures for internal controls. To address the material weaknesses we performed additional analyses and other post-closing procedures to ensure that our consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). Notwithstanding this material weakness, management believes that the financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

 

 

 

 

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation requirements by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to an exemption provided by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) during the three months ended October 31, 2016 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Director Qualifications

 

The Board of Directors believes that each of our directors is highly qualified to serve as a member of the Board of Directors. Each of the directors has contributed to the mix of skills, core competencies and qualifications of the Board of Directors. When evaluating candidates for election to the Board of Directors, the Board of Directors seeks candidates with certain qualities that it believes are important, including integrity, an objective perspective, good judgment, and leadership skills. Our directors are highly educated and have diverse backgrounds and talents and extensive track records of success in what we believe are highly relevant positions.

 

Term of Office

 

Our officers are appointed by our Board of Directors and hold office until they resign or are removed from office by the Board of Directors.

 

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

 

The Company promotes accountability for adherence to honest and ethical conduct; endeavors to provide full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that the Company files with the SEC and in other public communications made by the Company; and strives to be compliant with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations.

 

Board Leadership Structure

 

Our Board of Directors has the responsibility for selecting the appropriate leadership structure for the Company. In making leadership structure determinations, the Board of Directors considers many factors, including the specific needs of the business and what is in the best interests of the Company’s stockholders. Our current leadership structure is comprised of a combined Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), Mr. Levine. The Board of Directors believes that this leadership structure is the most effective and efficient for the Company at this time. Mr. Levine possesses detailed and in-depth knowledge of the issues, opportunities, and challenges facing the Company, and is thus best positioned to develop agendas that ensure that the Board of Directors’ time and attention are focused on the most critical matters. Combining the Chairman of the Board and CEO roles promotes decisive leadership, fosters clear accountability and enhances the Company’s ability to communicate its message and strategy clearly and consistently to our stockholders, particularly during periods of turbulent economic and industry conditions.

 

Risk Oversight

 

Effective risk oversight is an important priority of the Board of Directors. Because risks are considered in virtually every business decision, the Board of Directors discusses risk throughout the year generally or in connection with specific proposed actions. The Board of Directors’ approach to risk oversight includes understanding the critical risks in the Company’s business and strategy, evaluating the Company’s risk management processes, allocating responsibilities for risk oversight among the full Board of Directors, and fostering an appropriate culture of integrity and compliance with legal responsibilities. The Board of Directors exercises direct oversight of strategic risks to the Company, including reviewing and assessing the Company’s processes to manage business and financial risk and financial reporting risk; reviewing the Company’s policies for risk assessment and assessing steps management has taken to control significant risks; overseeing risks relating to compensation programs and policies; recommending the slate of director nominees for election at the annual stockholder meetings; reviewing, evaluating and recommending changes to the Company’s corporate governance guidelines; and establishing the process for conducting the review of the Chief Executive Officer’s performance.

 

Family Relationships

 

None of our directors are related by blood, marriage, or adoption to any other director, executive officer, or other key employees.

 

Arrangements between Officers and Directors

 

To our knowledge, there is no arrangement or understanding between any of our officers and any other person, including directors, pursuant to which the officer was selected to serve as an officer.

 

Other Directorships

 

No directors of the Company are also directors of issuers with a class of securities registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act (or which otherwise are required to file periodic reports under the Exchange Act).

 

 

 

 

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

 

To the best of our knowledge, during the past ten years, none of our directors or executive officers were involved in any of the following: (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 a named 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 involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities; (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, (5) being the subject of, or a party to, any Federal or State judicial or administrative order, judgment, decree, or finding, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, relating to an alleged violation of (i) any Federal or State securities or commodities law or regulation; (ii) any law or regulation respecting financial institutions or insurance companies including, but not limited to, a temporary or permanent injunction, order of disgorgement or restitution, civil money penalty or temporary or permanent cease-and-desist order, or removal or prohibition order; or (iii) any law or regulation prohibiting mail or wire fraud or fraud in connection with any business entity; or (6) being the subject of, or a party to, any sanction or order, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any self-regulatory organization (as defined in Section 3(a)(26) of the Exchange Act), any registered entity (as defined in Section 1(a)(29) of the Commodity Exchange Act), or any equivalent exchange, association, entity or organization that has disciplinary authority over its members or persons associated with a member.

 

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

 

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our directors and executive officers, and persons who own more than 10% of our outstanding common stock, to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of common stock. Officers, directors and greater than 10% stockholders are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

 

Based solely upon a review by us of Forms 3 and 4 relating to fiscal year 2016 as furnished to us under Rule 16a-3(d) under the Securities Act, and Forms 5 and amendments thereto furnished to us with respect to fiscal year 2015, we believe that during fiscal 2016, that no director, executive officer, or beneficial owner of more than 10% of our Class A common stock failed to file a report on a timely basis during 2016, except for: (i) Steven M. Plumb failed to report one transaction, (ii) Evan Levine failed to report one transaction; (iii) Noah Davis failed to report one transaction, (iv) and Richard Corbin failed to report two transactions. The Company is working with the officers and directors to file the outstanding forms and all filings should be current within a few days of this filing.

 

Code of Ethics

 

We have adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to, among other persons, members of our Board of Directors, our company’s officers including our president, chief executive officer and chief financial officer, employees, consultants and advisors. As adopted, our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics sets forth written standards that are designed to deter wrongdoing and to promote:

 

	1.	honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships;
	2.	full, fair, accurate, timely, and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that we file with, or submit to, the Securities and Exchange Commission and in other public communications made by us;
	3.	compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations;
	4.	the prompt internal reporting of violations of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics to an appropriate person or persons identified in the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics; and
	5.	accountability for adherence to the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics.

 

 

 

 

Our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics requires, among other things, that all of our company’s senior officers commit to timely, accurate and consistent disclosure of information; that they maintain confidential information; and that they act with honesty and integrity.

 

In addition, our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics emphasizes that all employees, and particularly senior officers, have a responsibility for maintaining financial integrity within our company, consistent with generally accepted accounting principles, and federal and state securities laws. Any senior officer, who becomes aware of any incidents involving financial or accounting manipulation or other irregularities, whether by witnessing the incident or being told of it, must report it to our company. Any failure to report such inappropriate or irregular conduct of others is to be treated as a severe disciplinary matter. It is against our company policy to retaliate against any individual who reports in good faith the violation or potential violation of our company’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics by another.

 

Our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is incorporated by reference hereto as Exhibit 14.1. We will provide a copy of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics to any person without charge, upon request. Requests can be sent to: Probility Media Corporation, 1517 San Jacinto Street, Houston, Texas 77002.

 

Board and Committee Meetings

 

Our Board of Directors currently consists of Messrs. Corbin, Plumb, Davis, and Levine. The Board held 2 formal meetings during the year ended October 31, 2016. As our company develops a more comprehensive Board of Directors, all proceedings will be conducted by resolutions consented to in writing by all the directors and filed with the minutes of the proceedings of the directors. Such resolutions consented to in writing by the directors entitled to vote on that resolution at a meeting of the directors are, according to the Nevada General Corporate Law and our Bylaws, as valid and effective as if they had been passed at a meeting of the directors duly called and held.

 

Stockholder Communications with the Board

 

Our stockholders and other interested parties may communicate with members of the Board of Directors by submitting such communications in writing to our Secretary, Steven M. Plumb, who, upon receipt of any communication other than one that is clearly marked “Confidential,” will note the date the communication was received, open the communication, make a copy of it for our files and promptly forward the communication to the director(s) to whom it is addressed. Upon receipt of any communication that is clearly marked “Confidential,” our Secretary will not open the communication, but will note the date the communication was received and promptly forward the communication to the director(s) to whom it is addressed. If the correspondence is not addressed to any particular board member or members, the communication will be forwarded to a board member to bring to the attention of the Board of the Directors.

 

Nomination Process

 

As of October 31, 2016, we did not affect any material changes to the procedures by which our shareholders recommend nominees to our Board of Directors. Our Board of Directors does not have a policy with regards to the consideration of any director candidates recommended by our shareholders. Our Board of Directors has determined that it is in the best position to evaluate our company’s requirements as well as the qualifications of each candidate when the board considers a nominee for a position on our Board of Directors. If shareholders wish to recommend candidates directly to our board, they should do so by sending communications to the President of our company at the address on the cover of this annual report.

 

Audit Committee and Audit Committee Financial Expert

 

Our Board of Directors has determined that it does not have a member of the audit committee that qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K, and is “independent” as the term is used in Item 7(d)(3)(iv) of Schedule 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Our Board of Directors is capable of analyzing and evaluating our financial statements and understanding internal controls and procedures for financial reporting. We believe that retaining an independent director who would qualify as an “audit committee financial expert” would be overly costly and burdensome, at this time, and is not warranted in our circumstances given the stage of our development.

 

 

 

 

Item 11. Executive Compensation

 

The particulars of the compensation paid to the following persons:

 

	(a)	our principal executive officers;
	(b)	each of our two most highly compensated executive officers who were serving as executive officers at the end of the years ended October 31, 2016 and 2015; and
	(c)	up to two additional individuals for whom disclosure would have been provided under (b) but for the fact that the individual was not serving as our executive officer at the end of the years ended October 31, 2016 and 2015, who we will collectively refer to as the ‘named executive officers’ of our company, are set out in the following summary compensation table, except that no disclosure is provided for any named executive officer, other than the principal executive officers, whose total compensation did not exceed $100,000 for the respective fiscal year.

Notes:

	(1)	Under Rule 13d-3, a beneficial owner of a security includes any person who, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship, or otherwise has or shares: (i) voting power, which includes the power to vote, or to direct the voting of shares; and (ii) investment power, which includes the power to dispose or direct the disposition of shares. Certain shares may be deemed to be beneficially owned by more than one person (if, for example, persons share the power to vote or the power to dispose of the shares). In addition, shares are deemed to be beneficially owned by a person if the person has the right to acquire the shares (for example, upon exercise of an option) within 60 days of the date as of which the information is provided. In computing the percentage ownership of any person, the number of shares outstanding is deemed to include the number of shares beneficially owned by such person (and only such person) by reason of these acquisition rights. As a result, the percentage of outstanding shares of any person as shown in this table does not necessarily reflect the person’s actual ownership or voting power with respect to the number of shares of common stock actually outstanding on February 10, 2017.

Item 14. Principal Accounting Fees and Services

 

The aggregate fees billed for the most recently completed fiscal year ended October 31, 2016 and 2015, for professional services rendered by the principal accountant for the audit of our annual financial statements and review of the financial statements included in our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and services that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for these fiscal periods were as follows:

 

	Year Ended October 31, 2016	Year Ended October 31, 2015
Audit Fees (1)	$115,925	$43,000
Audit Related Fees (2)	$0	$0
Tax Fees (3)	$0	$0
Total	$115,925	$43,000
