DNA
Brands, Inc.
MAXIMUM
OFFERING AMOUNT:
$2,500,000
This is a public offering (the “Offering”)
of securities of DNA Brands, Inc., a Colorado corporation (the “Company”). We are offering a maximum of Fifteen Million
Six Hundred Twenty Five Thousand (15,625,000) shares (the “Maximum Offering”) of our common stock, par value $0.00001
(the “Common Stock”) at an offering price of Sixteen Cents ($0.16) per share (the “Shares”) on a “best
efforts” basis. This price and number of shares comprising the Maximum Offering is a reflection of the 200-to-1 reverse
stock split just effected by the Company on December 9, 2020 and adjusts the Offering Price and Maximum Offering of the Offering
Circular Supplement dated January 29, 2020 by a factor of 200. This Offering will expire on the first to occur of (a) the sale
of all 15,625,000 shares of Common Stock offered hereby, (b) February 15, 2020, subject to extension for up to one hundred-eighty
(180) days in the sole discretion of the Company, or (c) when the Company’s board of directors elects to terminate the Offering
(as applicable, the “Termination Date”). There is no escrow established for this Offering. We will hold closings upon
the receipt of investors’ subscriptions and acceptance of such subscriptions by the Company. If, on the initial closing
date, we have sold less than the Maximum Offering, then we may hold one or more additional closings for additional sales, until
the earlier of: (i) the sale of the Maximum Offering or (ii) the Termination Date. There is no aggregate minimum requirement for
the Offering to become effective, therefore, we reserve the right, subject to applicable securities laws, to begin applying “dollar
one” of the proceeds from the Offering in accordance with the Use of Proceeds section of this Offering Circular (See
section “Use of Proceeds”) and such other uses as more specifically set forth in this offering circular (“Offering
Circular”). We expect to commence the sale of the Shares as of the date on which the offering statement of which this Offering
Circular is a part (the “Offering Statement”) is qualified by the United States Securities and Exchange
Commission (the “SEC”).
The Company’s
Common Stock is listed on the Over The Counter Bulletin Board (“OTCPNK”) under the symbol “DNAX,”
and qualified Pink Current Information Tier. For further information, see “Plan of Distribution – Exchange Listing”
of this Offering Circular.
Such Offering price and our valuation was determined by management in order to attract investors
in this Offering. The valuation of our currently outstanding shares of Common Stock and the $0.16 per share Offering price of
the Common Stock has been based upon the trading price and volume of trading of our Common Stock on the OTCPNK exchange and is
not based on book value, assets, earnings or any other recognizable standard of value.
Investing in
our Common Stock involves a high degree of risk. See “Risk Factors” for a discussion of certain risks that
you should consider in connection with an investment in our Common Stock.
THE U.S. SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION DOES NOT

ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF ANY OFFERING CIRCULAR OR OTHER SOLICITATION MATERIALS. THESE SECURITIES ARE OFFERED PURSUANT TO AN

OFFERED ARE EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION.

Corporate
History and Information
The

providing services out of one principal location in the downtown Denver metropolitan area. These operations continued until July
7, 2010 when the Company changed to its current name, DNA Brands, Inc. Through to this name change event, though it was never
profitable, the Company was current in its filings requirements with the SEC reporting on its assets and operations in its fiscal
year reports for 2007, 2008 and 2009 (it has a fiscal year end date of Oct. 31). For its period ending Oct. 31, 2007, it reported

Business Overview
On March 25, 2019, we
announced that we were shifting our primary corporate focus to the transportation/ridesharing industry with the signing of a fleet
agreement with the rideshare platform, Ridesharerental.com (http://www.Ridesharerental.com) (the “Rideshare Platform”).
As of the date of this Offering Circular, the Company’s operating business segments will be primarily focused on our Fleet
Agreement with Rideshare rental.com and the maintenance of a fleet of standard passenger vehicles to be made commercially available
for rent to rent to Uber and Lyft drivers in the South Florida Region (“Fleet Management”). Initially concentrating
in the South Florida region, DNA Brands is the First fleet operator in the State of Florida with www.RideshareRentals.com and anticipates
covering the whole state by years’ end.
The Company’s
Fleet Management business focuses on the maintenance of a fleet of standard passenger vehicles, to be subsequently rented directly
to drivers in the ridesharing economy. The Fleet Management business and vehicles are made commercially available through the
Rideshare Platform, which is available at www.ridesharerental.com. DNA Brands has obtained financing (discussed in more detail
below) in order to begin the fleet purchase process. The company fully intends to continue adding cars to its fleet monthly.
The most significant portion of the use of proceeds of this offering will be to add additional vehicles to our Fleet Management
business.
The Company now has
four vehicles in service.
Prior Financing
From mid-2013 through
the third quarter of 2019, the Company has been financed principally by four main investors, Dr. Thomas Rutherford, Kerry Goodman,
GPL Ventures, and Barry Romich (or related entities), two of whom (Dr. Rutherford and Mr. Goodman) are also shareholders of the
Company. The promissory notes and debentures representing their investments are included as exhibits to this Registration Statement.
The majority of the prior promissory notes and debentures issued by the Company, excluding those issued in 2019, were in default
as of the date of this Offering Circular. The Company has spoken with nearly all of the holders of the defaulted instruments and
other creditors of the Company, and feels that it has a good relationship with the holders and creditors. There can be no guarantee
that one or more noteholders or other creditors of the Company will not seek to enforce the Company’s payment obligations.
Additional information
about the notes and debentures can be found in the Section below entitled “DNA Brands Inc., Recent Financing Activities.”
Other investors also provided financing, information about which can also be found in the Section entitled “DNA Brands
Inc., Recent Financing Activities.”
The Ridesharing Industry
At the
most basic level, real-time ridesharing is a service that arranges one-time shared rides on very short notice. The internet-connected,
global positioning system (“GPS”) enabled device automatically detects your current location, takes the home
location that you have programmed in previously and searches the database for drivers traveling a similar route and willing to
pick up passengers. According to Wikipedia.org, “real-time” ridesharing is defined as “a single, or
recurring Rideshare trip with no fixed schedule, organized on a one-time basis, with matching of participants occurring as little
as a few minutes before departure or as far in advance as the evening before a trip is scheduled to take place”.
The
growth of the ridesharing economy has resulted in increasing consumer demand for ridesharing services, provided by transportation
network companies (“TNC”) such as Lyft, DIDI, VIA, Juno, Gett and Uber, that offer a ridesharing economy service
through mobile applications. Ridesharing apps connect people who need a ride with people who have a vehicle and time to drive
- notably, not necessarily people who are licensed taxi drivers. Companies like Lyft, DIDI, VIA, Juno, Gett and Uber provide a
smartphone app that lets consumers hail a ride, set their destination, and pay without leaving the app itself. The benefits to
the consumer is ease of use, availability of rides, and sometimes lower prices than traditional taxis. Many companies require
at least some sort of certification for the drivers and take a portion of the drivers’ fares. Drivers can choose when they
work (though they can receive bonuses for logging a certain number of hours) and provide their own vehicles. Early entrants in
the TNC app space, like Uber and Flywheel, were founded around 2009. Overall, the industry has raised more than $10 billion in
venture funding.
We believe that we have strong economic prospects by virtue of the following dynamics of the industry:
|
|
·
|
Continued
Growth in Ridesharing Market. The ridesharing services market has grown faster,
gone to more places and has produced robust growth and consumer traffic figures since
commercial introduction in approximately 2009. The pace of growth is also picking up.
It has been reported that Uber took six (6) years before it reached a billion rides in
December of 2015, but it took only six (6) months for Uber to get to two billion rides.
In the U.S., the number of users of ridesharing services is estimated to increase from
8.2 million in 2014 to 20.4 million in 2020, producing a compounded annual growth rate
(“CAGR”) of approximately 13.92% over the seven-year period.
|
|
|
·
|
Globalization
of Ridesharing. In the same vein, ridesharing which started as an experiment
in California has grown into a global marketplace over a short period of time. Asia has
emerged as a geographical territory to drive future growth. For example, Didi Chuang,
the Chinese ridesharing company, completed 1.43 billion rides just in 2015 and it now
claims to have 250 million users in 360 Chinese cities. Ridesharing is also acquiring
deep roots in both India and Malaysia, and is making advances in Europe and Latin America,
despite regulatory pushback.
|
|
|
·
|
Expanding
Choices. Consumer options in ridesharing are expanding to attract an even larger
audience, such as carpooling and private bus services. The expansion of consumer options
has also attracted mass transit customers to more expensive luxury options. In addition,
it has been reported that dominant TNC businesses are experimenting with pre-scheduled
rides and multiple stops on single trip gain to meet customer needs. Our Fleet Management
business and fleet of rental vehicles are designed to put more certified ridesharing
vehicles on the roadways to meet the increasing consumer demand of the availability of
ridesharing services.
|
Our Opportunity
The increasing
demand for ridesharing services has produced an increase in demand by TNC businesses for more ridesharing drivers and vehicles
on the road at any given time. The growing demographic of ridesharing drivers, as determined on a global basis, has drawn ridesharing
drivers to the ridesharing marketing to perform services for a host of private TNC businesses focused on ridesharing, such as Uber
and Lyft. The Company believes that private ridesharing TNC businesses are hiring more than an estimated 50,000 drivers a month
to keep pace with the current commercial demand for ridesharing services.
Complicating
this matter further, many potential ridesharing drivers drawn to the ridesharing market are being rejected or turned away from
driving for the private ridesharing TNCs on account of the fact that many potential ridesharing driver’s personal vehicles
are failing to meet the Ridesharing Qualification Requirements imposed on all ridesharing drivers and vehicles by the private
ridesharing TNCs. The Ridesharing Qualification Requirements include not only certain requirements on all ridesharing drivers
and their respective vehicles (the “Driver Qualification Requirements”) but also additional vehicle safety
tests, inspections and precautions on all ridesharing vehicles to be utilized by drivers under employment with the private ridesharing
TNCs. Generally, the vehicle safety tests, inspections and precautions require all vehicles to pass a standard vehicle inspection
test administered by the respective TNC employer (the “Vehicle Qualification Requirements”, together with the
Driver Qualification Requirements, the “Ridesharing Qualification Requirements”). For more information,
see “Ridesharing Qualification Requirements”. The Company estimates that approximately 30%-50% of potential
ridesharing drivers do not own or have access to a car or vehicle that will meet the Ridesharing Qualification Requirements. Further,
the Company believes that this issue surrounding the Ridesharing Qualifications Requirements are exacerbating the problem and
resulting in a shortfall of ridesharing drivers on the road at any given time. Private ridesharing TNCs have responded to this
issue by actively pursuing programs to get eligible ridesharing drivers into qualified cars that meet the Ridesharing Qualification
Requirements. The Company believes that the TNC line of business and immense capital requirements in developing a fleet management
business to service the growing ridesharing industry on such a large scale will restrict the ability of the private ridesharing
TNCs to dominate the ridesharing vehicle rental market. Additionally, under the general rules being enforced by the leading TNCs,
TNCs are restricted from owning a fleet of vehicles or partaking in the fleet management business. Further, despite the financial
resources and scale of the dominant TNCs in the ridesharing business, the Company believes that third-party vehicle rental providers
are a necessity to the growth and service of a robust ridesharing market.
Our Concurrent and Recent Financing Activities.
DNA Brands Inc., Recent Financing Activities
In February 2011, the Company issued a convertible
debenture to an existing shareholder in the amount of $500,000. The debenture bears interest at 12% per annum and carries an annual
transaction fee of $30,000, of which both are payable in quarterly installments commencing in May 2011. These costs are recorded
as interest expense in the Company's financial statements. In addition, as further inducement for loaning the Company funds, the
Company issued 125,000 restricted shares of its common stock to the holder upon execution. The common shares were valued at $31,250,
their fair market value, and recorded as discount to the debenture. These costs will be amortized using the effective interest
method over the term of the debenture and recorded as interest expense in the Company's financial statements.
In
June 2011, the Company issued a convertible debenture to an existing shareholder in the amount of $125,000. The debenture bears
interest at 12% per annum, which is payable in the Company’s common stock at the time of maturity. The debenture is convertible
at any time prior to maturity into 150,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. This beneficial conversion feature was
valued at $90,750, using Black-Scholes methodology, and recorded as a discount to the debenture. These costs will be amortized
using the effective interest method over the term of the debenture and recorded as interest expense in the Company's financial
statements.
In
July and August 2011, the Company issued a series of secured convertible debentures to accredited investors aggregating $275,000
in gross proceeds. All proceeds from these debentures are to be utilized solely for the purpose of funding raw materials and inventory
purchases through the use of an escrow agent. The debentures bear interest at 12% per annum, payable in monthly installments.
The debentures are convertible at any time prior to maturity at a conversion price equal to 80% of the average share price of
the Company’s common stock for the 10 previous trading days prior to conversion, but not less than $0.70. In addition, as
further inducement for loaning the Company funds, the Company issued the lenders 68,750 restricted shares of its common stock
and 137,500 common stock warrants exercisable at $1.25 per share. As a result, the Company had to allocate fair market value to
each the beneficial conversion feature, restricted shares and warrants. The common shares were valued at $30,938, their fair market
value. The Company determined the fair market value of the warrants as $94,255 using the Black-Scholes valuation model. Since
the combined fair market value allocated to the warrants and beneficial conversion feature cannot exceed the convertible debenture
amount, the beneficial conversion feature was valued at $149,807, the ceiling of its intrinsic value. These costs will be amortized
using the effective interest method over the term of the debenture and recorded as interest expense in the Company's financial
statements.
In
February 2012, the Company issued a convertible debenture to an existing shareholder in the amount of $75,000. The debenture bears
interest at 12% per annum, which is payable in the Company’s common stock at the time of maturity. The debenture is convertible
at any time prior to maturity into 280,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. As further inducement, the Company issued
the lender 280,000 common stock warrants exercisable at $1.50 per share. If unexercised, the warrants will expire on January 31,
2017. Using the Black-Scholes model, the warrants were valued at $63,620 and recorded as a discount to the principal amount of
the debenture. This discount is amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the debenture and recorded as interest
expense in the Company's financial statements.
In
February and June 2012, the Company converted $524,950 of its loans payable to officers into convertible debentures. These debentures
were offered by the Company’s officers to certain accredited investors and a majority portion of the proceeds therefrom
were deposited with the Company. The debentures had no maturity date and bear no interest. Therefore, these debentures
were payable on demand and were originally classified as a current liability. The debentures were convertible at any time into
3,499,667 shares, or $0.15 per share of common stock. The Company determined that these terms created a beneficial conversion
feature. Using the Black- Scholes model, the beneficial conversion feature was valued at $524,950, the ceiling of its intrinsic
value. Due to the nature of the debentures, the full value of the beneficial conversion feature was immediately recorded as interest
expense in the Company’s financial statements. In August 2012, these convertible debentures were converted into 3,499,666
shares of the Company’s common stock.
On
April 9, 2012, the Company executed an Investment Banking and Advisory Agreement with Charles Morgan Securities, Inc., New York,
NY (“CMI”), wherein CMI agreed to provide consulting, strategic business planning, financing on a “best efforts”
basis and investor and public relations services, as well as to assist the Company in its efforts to raise capital through the
issuance of debt or equity. The agreement provided for CMI to engage in two separate private offerings with the initial private
placement offering up to $3.0 million and the second private placement offering up to an additional $3.0 million; each on a “best
efforts” basis. In connection with this agreement the Company issued 750,000 shares valued at $0.25 per share or a total
value of $187,500. This amount was fully amortized in the Company's financial statements as of December 31, 2012.
In
July 2012, the Company received proceeds from convertible debentures totaling $182,668 in connection with the CMI agreement. The
debentures bear interest at 12% per annum, which is payable in cash or the Company’s common stock at the time of conversion
or maturity. The debentures are convertible at any time prior to maturity at a conversion price equal to the lesser of 75% of
the average share price of the Company’s common stock for the five previous trading days prior to conversion or $0.35, but
not less than $0.15. In the event that the Company offers or issues shares of its common stock at a share price less than $0.15,
the floor conversion price will adjust to the new lower price. The Company determined that the terms of the debentures created
a beneficial conversion feature. Using the Black-Scholes model, the beneficial conversion feature was valued at $160,813 and recorded
as a discount to the principal amount of the debentures. The discount is amortized using the effective interest method over the
term of the debenture and recorded as interest expense in the Company's financial statements.
On
August 7, 2012, the Company issued a convertible debenture in the amount of $50,000. The debenture does not bear interest. As
an inducement, the Company agreed to issue the lender 20,000 shares of its common stock. The common shares were valued at their
trading price on the date of the agreement and recorded as interest expense in the Company’s results of operations. The
Company determined that the terms of the debenture created a beneficial conversion feature. Using the Black-Scholes model, the
beneficial conversion feature was valued at $50,000, the ceiling of its intrinsic value, and recorded as a discount to the principal
amount of the debenture. The discount is amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the debenture and recorded
as interest expense in the Company's financial statements. During the second quarter of 2013, the conversion terms of this note
were modified and the note was converted into 1,500,000 shares of common stock.
On
September 25, 2012, the Company issued a convertible debenture in the amount of $50,000. The debenture bears interest at 6% per

The discount is amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the debenture and recorded as interest expense

RISKS RELATED
TO OUR COMPANY
We
have a limited operating history in the rideshare industry on which to judge our business prospects and management.
We
have limited operating history as a rideshare company upon which to base an evaluation of our business and prospects. You must
consider the risks and difficulties we face as a small operating company with limited operating history.
On
March 25, 2019, we announced that we were shifting our primary corporate focus in the transportation/ridesharing industry towards
the vehicle rental business with a focus on the maintenance of a fleet of standard passenger vehicles to be made commercially
available for rent to rideshare drivers. We have limited operating history in the vehicle rental, fleet management and transportation
industry.
If we do not successfully address these risks, our business, prospects, operating results and financial condition will
be materially and adversely harmed. Operating results for future periods are subject to numerous uncertainties and we cannot assure
you that the Company will achieve or sustain profitability. The Company’s prospects must be considered in light of the risks
encountered by small operating companies with limited operating history, particularly companies in new and rapidly evolving markets.
Operating results will depend upon many factors, including our success in attracting and retaining motivated and qualified personnel,
our ability to establish short term credit lines or obtain financing from other sources, such as the contemplated Regulation A+
offering, our ability to develop and market new products, control costs, and general economic conditions. We cannot assure you
that the Company will successfully address any of these risks.
We
will need but may be unable to obtain additional funding on satisfactory terms, which could dilute our shareholders or impose
burdensome financial restrictions on our business.
We
have relied upon cash from financing activities and in the future, we hope to rely more predominantly on revenues generated
from operations to fund all of the cash requirements of our activities. However, there can be no assurance that we will be
able to generate significant cash from our operating activities in the future to funds our continuing operations. Future
financings may not be available on a timely basis, in sufficient amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. Any debt
financing or other financing of securities senior to the Common Stock will likely include financial and other covenants that
will restrict our flexibility. Any failure to comply with these covenants would have a material adverse effect on our
business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations because we could lose our existing sources of funding and
impair our ability to secure new sources of funding. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to
generate any investor interest in its securities.
We
have a history of losses and we expect significant increases in our costs and expenses to result in continuing losses for at least
the foreseeable future.
For the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2018, we generated a loss of approximately ($622,915), bringing the accumulated deficit to approximately
($2,430,455) at December 31, 2018. Increases in costs and expenses may result in a continuation of losses for the foreseeable future.
There can be no assurance that we will be commercially successful.
We
have outstanding debt and lease commitments, which is secured by our assets and it may make it more difficult for us to make payments
on the notes and our other debt and lease obligations.
As of December 31, 2018, we had outstanding
indebtedness totaling approximately $1,943,146. Our debt commitments could have important consequences to you. For example, they
could:
|
|
·
|
make it more difficult for us to obtain additional financing in the future for our acquisitions and operations, working capital
requirements, capital expenditures, debt service or other general corporate requirements;
|
|
|
·
|
require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flows from operations to the repayment of our debt and the interest
associated with our debt rather than to other areas of our business;
|
|
|
·
|
limit our operating flexibility due to financial and other restrictive covenants, including restrictions on incurring additional
debt, creating liens on our properties, making acquisitions or paying dividends;
|
|
|
·
|
make it more difficult for us to satisfy our obligations with respect to the notes;
|
|
|
·
|
place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that have less debt; and
|
|
|
·
|
make us more vulnerable in the event of adverse economic and industry conditions or a downturn in our business.
|
Our ability
to meet our debt service and lease obligations depends on our future financial and operating performance, which will be impacted
by general economic conditions and by financial, business and other competitive factors, many of which are beyond our control.
These factors could include operating difficulties, increased operating costs, competition, regulatory developments and delays
in our business strategies. Our ability to meet our debt service and lease obligations may depend in significant part on the extent
to which we can successfully execute our business strategy and successfully operate our business segments. We may not be able to
execute our business strategy and our business operations may be materially impacted.
If our
business does not generate sufficient cash flow from operations or future sufficient borrowings are not available to us under our
credit agreements or from other sources we might not be able to service our debt and lease commitments, including the notes, or
to fund our other liquidity needs. If we are unable to service our debt and lease commitments, due to inadequate liquidity or otherwise,
we may have to delay or cancel acquisitions, sell equity securities, sell assets or restructure or refinance our debt. We might
not be able to sell our equity securities, sell our assets or restructure or refinance our debt on a timely basis or on satisfactory
terms or at all. In addition, the terms of our agreements with original equipment manufacturers or debt agreements may prohibit
us from pursuing any of these alternatives.
To
service our debt, we will require a significant amount of cash. Our ability to generate cash depends on many factors beyond our
control.
Our
ability to make payments on our debt, and to refinance our debt and fund planned capital expenditures will depend on our
ability to generate cash in the future. This ability, to some extent, is subject to general economic, financial, competitive,
legislative, regulatory and other factors that are beyond our control.
We do not
believe that our cash flow from operating activities and our existing capital resources, including the liquidity provided by our
credit agreements and lease financing arrangements, will be sufficient to fund our operations and commitments for the next twelve
months. We cannot assure you, however, that our business will generate sufficient cash flow from operations or that future borrowings
will be available to us in an amount sufficient to pay our debt or to fund our other liquidity needs. We may need to refinance
some or all of our debt on or before maturity, sell assets, reduce or delay capital expenditures or seek additional equity financing.
We cannot assure you that efforts to refinance any of our debt will be successful.
Our
debt and other commitments expose us to a number of risks, including:
Cash requirements for debt
and lease obligations. A significant portion of the cash flow we generate must be used to service the interest and principal
payments relating to our various financial commitments, $1,943,146 of long-term debt as of December 31, 2018. A sustained or significant
decrease in our operating cash flows could lead to an inability to meet our debt service requirements or to a failure to meet specified
financial and operating covenants included in certain of our agreements. If this were to occur, it may lead to a default under
one or more of our commitments. In the event of a default for this reason, or any other reason, the potential result could be the
acceleration of amounts due, which could have a significant and adverse effect on us.
Availability.
Because we finance the majority of our operating and strategic initiatives using a variety of commitments, including
$1,943,146 in total notes payable and loan facilities, we are dependent on continued availability of these sources of funds.
If these agreements are terminated or we are unable to access them because of a breach of financial or operating covenants or
otherwise, we will likely be materially affected.
Interest rate variability.
The interest rates we are charged on a substantial portion of our debt, including the Second Note payable, are variable, increasing
or decreasing based on changes in certain published interest rates. Increases to such interest rates would likely result in significantly
higher interest expense for us, which would negatively affect our operating results. Because many of our customers finance their
vehicle purchases, increased interest rates may also decrease vehicle sales, which would negatively affect our operating results.
We
face intense competition that may lead to downward pricing or an inability to increase prices.
The
vehicle rental and used-vehicle sale industries are highly competitive and are increasingly subject to substitution. We believe
that price is one of the primary competitive factors in the vehicle rental market and that technology has enabled cost-conscious
customers, including business travelers, to more easily compare rates available from rental companies. If we try to increase our
pricing, our competitors, some of whom may have greater resources and better access to capital than us, may seek to compete aggressively
on the basis of pricing. In addition, our competitors may reduce prices in order to, among other things, attempt to gain a competitive
advantage, capture market share, or to compensate for declines in rental activity. To the extent we do not match or remain within
a reasonable competitive margin of our competitors’ pricing, our revenues and results of operations, financial condition,
liquidity and cash flows could be materially adversely affected. If competitive pressures lead us to match any of our competitors’
downward pricing and we are not able to reduce our operating costs, then our margins, results of operations, financial condition,
liquidity and cash flows could be materially adversely affected.
Further,
we may in the future develop and launch other products or services that may be in direct competition with the various players
in the ridesharing industry, such as Uber and Lyft, and all of whom have greater resources than us. There are low barriers to
entry, and we expect that competition will intensify in the future. We believe that numerous factors, including price,
offerings, reliability, client base, brand name and general economic trends will affect our ability to compete successfully.
Our existing and future competitors may include many large companies that have substantially greater market presence and
financial, technical, marketing and other resources than we do. There can be no assurance that we will have the financial
resources, technical expertise or marketing and support capabilities to compete successfully. Increased competition could
result in significant competition, which in turn could result in lower revenues, which could materially adversely affect our
potential profitability.
We
face competition that may lead to downward pricing or an inability to increase prices.
The markets
in which we operate are highly competitive and are increasingly subject to substitution. We believe that price is one of the primary
competitive factors in the vehicle rental market and that the internet has enabled cost-conscious customers, including business
travelers, to more easily compare rates available from rental companies. If we try to increase our pricing, our competitors, some
of whom may have greater resources and better access to capital than us, may seek to compete aggressively on the basis of pricing.
In addition, our competitors may reduce prices in order to attempt to gain a competitive advantage, capture market share, or to
compensate for declines in rental activity. To the extent we do not match or remain within a reasonable competitive margin of our
competitors’ pricing, our revenues and results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows could be materially
adversely affected. If competitive pressures lead us to match any of our competitors’ downward pricing and we are not able
to reduce our operating costs, then our margins, results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows could be
materially adversely impacted.
We
face risks related to liabilities and insurance.
Our businesses
expose us to claims for personal injury, death and property damage resulting from the use of the vehicles rented by us, and for
employment-related injury claims by our employees. We cannot assure you that we will not be exposed to uninsured liability potentially
resulting in multiple payouts or otherwise, liabilities in respect of existing or future claims exceeding the level of our insurance,
availability of sufficient capital to pay any uninsured claims or the availability of insurance with unaffiliated carriers maintained
on economically reasonable terms, if at all. While we have insurance for many of these risks, we retain risk relating to certain
of these perils and certain perils are not covered by our insurance.
Regulatory issues. We are subject to
a wide variety of regulatory activities, including:
Governmental regulations,
claims and legal proceedings. Governmental regulations affect almost every aspect of our business, including the fair treatment
of our employees, wage and hour issues, and our financing activities with customers. We could also be susceptible to claims or
related actions if we fail to operate our business in accordance with applicable laws.
Vehicle Requirements. Federal
and state governments in our markets have increasingly placed restrictions and limitations on the vehicles sold in the market in
an effort to combat perceived negative environmental effects. For example, in the U.S., vehicle manufacturers are subject to federally
mandated corporate average fuel economy standards which will increase substantially through 2025. Furthermore, numerous states,
including California, have adopted or are considering requiring the sale of specified numbers of zero-emission vehicles. Significant
increases in fuel economy requirements and new federal or state restrictions on emissions on vehicles and automobile fuels in the
U.S. could adversely affect prices of and demand for the new vehicles that we sell.
Environmental regulations.
We are subject to a wide range of environmental laws and regulations, including those governing: discharges into the air and
water; the operation and removal of storage tanks; and the use, storage and disposal of hazardous substances. In the normal course
of our operations we use, generate and dispose of materials covered by these laws and regulations. We face potentially significant
costs relating to claims, penalties and remediation efforts in the event of non-compliance with existing and future laws and regulations.
Accounting rules and regulations.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board is currently evaluating several significant changes to generally accepted accounting
standards in the U.S., including the rules governing the accounting for leases. Any such changes could significantly affect our
reported financial position, earnings and cash flows. In addition, the Securities and Exchange Commission is currently considering
adopting rules that would require us to prepare our financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards,
which could also result in significant changes to our reported financial position, earnings and cash flows.
Changes in ridesharing
Vehicle Requirements. Federal and state governments in our markets have increasingly placed restrictions and limitations on
the vehicles sold in the market in an effort to combat perceived negative environmental effects. For example, in the U.S., vehicle
manufacturers are subject to federally mandated corporate average fuel economy standards which will increase substantially through
2025. Furthermore, numerous states, including California, have adopted or are considering requiring the sale of specified numbers
of zero-emission vehicles. Significant increases in fuel economy requirements and new federal or state restrictions on emissions
on vehicles and automobile fuels in the U.S. could adversely affect prices of and demand for the new vehicles that we sell.
Changes
in the U.S. legal and regulatory environment that affect our operations, including laws and regulations relating to taxes, automobile
related liability, insurance rates, insurance products, consumer privacy, data security, employment matters, licensing and franchising,
automotive retail sales, cost and fee recovery and the banking and financing industry could disrupt our business, increase our
expenses or otherwise have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows.
We are
subject to a wide variety of U.S. laws and regulations and changes in the level of government regulation of our business have the
potential to materially alter our business practices and materially adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations,
liquidity and cash flows, including our profitability. Those changes may come about through new laws and regulations or changes
in the interpretation of existing laws and regulations.
Any new,
or change in existing, U.S. law and regulation with respect to optional insurance products or policies could increase our costs
of compliance or make it uneconomical to offer such products, which would lead to a reduction in revenue and profitability. If
customers decline to purchase supplemental liability insurance products from us as a result of any changes in these laws or otherwise,
our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows could be materially adversely affected.
Certain
proposed or enacted laws and regulations with respect to the banking and finance industries, including the Dodd- Frank Wall Street
Reform and Consumer Protection Act (including risk retention requirements) and amendments to the SEC's rules relating to asset-backed
securities, could restrict our access to certain financing arrangements and increase our financing costs, which could have a material
adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and cash flows.
Inadequacy
of capital.
The expected
gross offering proceeds of a maximum of $2,500,000 may never be realized. While we believe that such proceeds will capitalize and
sustain us to allow for the continued execution and operation of our business segments, if only a fraction of this Offering is
sold, or if certain business segments financially underperform expectations, we may have inadequate funds to fully develop our
business. Although we believe that the proceeds from this Offering will be sufficient to help sustain our development process and
business operations, there is no guarantee that we will raise all the funds needed to adequately fund the operations of our business
segments.
We
may not be able to obtain adequate financing to continue our operations.
We will
need to raise additional funds through the issuance of equity, equity-related, or debt securities or through obtaining credit from
government or financial institutions. This capital will be necessary to our Fleet Management business. We cannot be certain that
additional funds will be available to us on favorable terms when required, or at all. If we cannot raise additional funds when
we need them, our financial condition, results of operations, business and prospects would be materially and adversely affected.
We
may pursue strategic transactions which could be difficult to implement, disrupt our business or change our business profile significantly.
Any future
strategic acquisition or disposition of assets or a business could involve numerous risks, including: (i) potential disruption
of our ongoing business and distraction of management; (ii) difficulty integrating the acquired business or segregating assets
and operations to be disposed of; (iii) exposure to unknown, contingent or other liabilities, including litigation arising in connection
with the acquisition or disposition or against any business we may acquire; (iv) changing our business profile in ways that could
have unintended negative consequences; and (v) the failure to achieve anticipated synergies.
If we enter
into significant strategic transactions, the related accounting charges may affect our financial condition and results of operations,
particularly in the case of an acquisition. The financing of any significant acquisition may result in changes in our capital structure,
including the incurrence of additional indebtedness. A material disposition could require the amendment or refinancing of our outstanding
indebtedness or a portion thereof.
We
rely on our management team, which has little experience working together.
We depend
on a small number of executive officers and other members of management to work effectively as a team, to execute our business
strategy and operating business segments, and to manage employees and consultants. Our success will be dependent on the personal
efforts of Howard Ullman and Adrian McKenzie, our president and CEO respectively, and such other key personnel. Any of our officers
or employees can terminate his or her employment relationship at any time, and the loss of the services of such individuals could
have a material adverse effect on our business and prospects. Our management team has worked together for only a very short period
of time and may not work well together as a management team.
Raising
additional capital by issuing additional securities may cause dilution to our current and future shareholders.
We will
need to, or desire to, raise substantial additional capital in the future. Our future capital requirements will depend on many
factors, including, among others:
|
|
·
|
Our degree of success in generating rental and fees from our Fleet Management business;
|
|
|
·
|
The costs of establishing or acquiring sales, marketing, and distribution capabilities for our services;
|
|
|
·
|
The extent to which we acquire or invest in businesses, products, or technologies, and other strategic relationships; and
|
|
|
·
|
The costs of financing unanticipated working capital requirements and responding to competitive pressures.
|
If we raise
additional funds by issuing equity or convertible debt securities, we will reduce the percentage of ownership of the then-existing
shareholders, and the holders of those newly-issued equity or convertible debt securities may have rights, preferences, or privileges
senior to those possessed by our then-existing shareholders. Additionally, future sales of a substantial number of shares of our
Common Stock, or other equity-related securities in the public market could depress the market price of our Common Stock and impair
our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity or equity-linked securities. We cannot predict the effect that
future sales of our Common Stock, or other equity-related securities would have on the market price of our Common Stock at any
given time.
If
our management is unable to accurately estimate future levels of rental activity and adjust the number and mix of vehicles used
in our rental operations accordingly, our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows could suffer.
Because
vehicle costs typically represent our single largest expense and vehicle purchases are typically made weeks or months in
advance of the expected use of the vehicle, our business is dependent upon the ability of our management to accurately
estimate future levels of rental activity and consumer preferences with respect to the mix of vehicles used in our rental
operations. To the extent we do not purchase sufficient numbers of vehicles, or the right types of vehicles, to meet consumer
demand, we may lose revenue to our competitors. If we purchase too many vehicles, our vehicle utilization could be adversely
affected and we may not be able to dispose of excess vehicles in a timely and cost-effective manner. If our management is
unable to accurately estimate future levels of rental activity and determine the appropriate mix of vehicles used in our
rental operations, including because of changes in the competitive environment or economic factors outside of our control,
our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows could suffer.
Limitations
of Director Liability and Indemnification of Directors and Officers and Employees.
Our Certificate
of Incorporation limits the liability of directors to the maximum extent permitted by Delaware law. Delaware law provides that
directors of a corporation will not be personally liable for monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary duties as directors,
except for liability for any:
|
|
·
|
breach of their duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders;
|
|
|
·
|
act or omission not in good faith or that involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;
|
|
|
·
|
unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions as provided in Section 174 of the Delaware General
Corporation Law; or
|
|
|
·
|
transactions for which the directors derived an improper personal benefit.
|
These limitations
of liability do not apply to liabilities arising under the federal or state securities laws and do not affect the availability
of equitable remedies such as injunctive relief or rescission. Our bylaws provide that we will indemnify our directors, officers
and employees to the fullest extent permitted by law. Our bylaws also provide that we are obligated to advance expenses incurred
by a director or officer in advance of the final disposition of any action or proceeding. We believe that these bylaw provisions
are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers. The limitation of liability in our Certificate
of Incorporation and bylaws may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against directors for breach of their fiduciary
duties. They may also reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and officers, even though an action, if
successful, might provide a benefit to us and our stockholders. Our results of operations and financial condition may be harmed
to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers pursuant to these indemnification
provisions.
Risks
of borrowing.
If
we incur additional indebtedness, a portion of our future revenues will have to be dedicated to the payment of principal and
interest on such indebtedness. Typical loan agreements also might contain restrictive covenants, which may impair our
operating flexibility. Such loan agreements would also provide for default under certain circumstances, such as failure to
meet certain financial covenants. A default under a loan agreement could result in the loan becoming immediately due and
payable and, if unpaid, a judgment in favor of such lender which would be senior to our rights. A judgment creditor would
have the right to foreclose on any of our assets resulting in a material adverse effect on our business, ability to generate
revenue, operating results or financial condition.
Unanticipated
obstacles to the operations of our business segments.
Many of
our potential business endeavors are capital intensive and may be subject to statutory or regulatory requirements. The Board of
Directors believes that the chosen operations and strategies are achievable in light of current economic and legal conditions with
the skills, background, and knowledge of our principals and advisors. The Board of Directors reserve the right to make significant
modifications to our stated strategies depending on future events.
Risks
of operations.
Our operating
results may be volatile, difficult to predict and may fluctuate significantly in the future due to a variety of factors, many of
which may be outside of our control. Due to the nature of our target market, we may be unable to accurately forecast our future
revenues and operating results. There are no assurances that we can generate significant revenue or achieve profitability. We anticipate
having a sizeable amount of fixed expenses, and we expect to incur losses due to the execution of our business strategy, continued
development efforts and related expenses. As a result, we will need to generate significant revenues while containing costs and
operating expenses if we are to achieve profitability. We cannot be certain that we will ever achieve sufficient revenue levels
to achieve profitability.
Minimal
employees or infrastructure.
We will
have a small number of employees and we don’t have any operational infrastructure or prior operating history. We intent to
rely on our management team, our advisors, third-party consultants, outside attorneys, advisors, accountants, auditors, and other
administrators. The loss of services of any of such personnel may have a material adverse effect on our business and operations
and there can be no assurance that if any or all of such personnel were to become unavailable, that qualified successors can be
found, on acceptable terms.
Limitation
on remedies; indemnification.
Our Certificate
of Incorporation, as amended from time to time, provides that officers, directors, employees and other agents and their affiliates
shall only be liable to the Company and its shareholders for losses, judgments, liabilities and expenses that result from the fraud
or other breach of fiduciary obligations. Additionally, we intend to enter into corporate indemnification agreements with each
of our officers and directors consistent with industry practice. Thus, certain alleged errors or omissions might not be actionable
by the Company. Our governing instruments also provide that, under the broadest circumstances allowed under law, we must indemnify
its officers, directors, employees and other agents and their affiliates for losses, judgments, liabilities, expenses and amounts
paid in settlement of any claims sustained by them in connection with the Company, including liabilities under applicable securities
laws.
No
dividends or return of profits.
We have
not had any profits from any operations to date. We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our Common Stock. We currently
intend to retain future earnings, if any, to finance the expansion of our operations. As a result, we do not anticipate paying
any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.
We
may fail to respond adequately to changes in technology and customer demands.
In recent
years our industry has been characterized by rapid changes in technology and customer demands. For example, in recent years, industry
participants have taken advantage of new technologies to improve vehicle utilization, decrease customer wait times and improve
customer satisfaction. Our industry has also seen the entry of new competitors whose businesses and efforts continue to introduce
various types of self-driving vehicles. Our ability to continually improve our current processes, products and offerings in response
to changes in technology is essential in maintaining our competitive position and maintaining current levels of customer satisfaction.
We may experience technical or other difficulties that could delay or prevent the development, introduction or marketing of new
products or enhanced product offerings.
Force
Majeure.
Our business
is uniquely susceptible to unforeseen delays or failures that are caused by forces of nature and related circumstances. These factors
are outside and beyond our control. Delay or failure may be due to any act of God, fire, war, terrorism, flood, strike, labor dispute,
disaster, transportation or laboratory difficulties or any similar or dissimilar event beyond our control. We will not be held
liable to any shareholder in the event of any such failure.
We
may not be able to manage our growth effectively.
Our growth
is expected to place, a significant strain on our managerial, operational and financial resources. As the number of our users,
partners and other business partners grows, we must increasingly manage multiple relationships with various customers, strategic
partners and other third parties. There can be no assurance that our systems, procedures or controls will be adequate to support
our operations or that our management will be able to achieve the rapid execution necessary to successfully grow and scale our
services, products and offerings. Our operating results will also depend on our ability to expand sales and marketing commensurate
with the growth of our business and the ridesharing industry. If we are unable to manage growth effectively, our business, results
of operations and financial condition will be adversely affected.
Maintaining
favorable brand recognition is essential to our success, and failure to do so could materially adversely affect our results of
operations, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows.
Our business
is heavily dependent upon the favorable brand recognition that our “DNA Brands” brand names have in the markets in
which they participate. Factors affecting brand recognition are often outside our control, and our efforts to maintain or enhance
favorable brand recognition, such as marketing and advertising campaigns, may not have their desired effects. In addition, it may
be difficult to monitor or enforce such requirements, particularly in foreign jurisdictions and various laws may limit our ability
to enforce the terms of these agreements or to terminate the agreements. Any decline in perceived favorable recognition of our
brands could materially adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows.
Changes
in U.S., global or regional economic conditions.
A decrease
in economic activity in the United States or in other regions of the world in which we plan to offer our Fleet Management offerings
and related services could adversely affect demand, thus reducing our ability to generate revenue. A decline in economic conditions
could reduce our users interest in utilizing our products and services. In addition, an increase in price levels generally, or
in price levels in a particular sector such as the fuel sector, could result in a shift in consumer demand away from ridesharing
services, which could also adversely affect our revenues and, at the same time, increase our costs.
In the
car rental business, a decline in economic activity typically results in a decline in both business and leisure travel and, accordingly,
a decline in the volume of car rental transactions. In the equipment rental business, a decline in economic activity typically
results in a decline in activity in non-residential construction and other businesses in which our equipment rental customers operate
and, therefore, results in a decline in the volume of equipment rental transactions. In the case of a decline in car or equipment
rental activity, we may reduce rental rates to meet competitive pressures, which could have a material adverse effect on our results
of operations. A decline in economic activity also may have a material adverse effect on residual values realized on the disposition
of our revenue earning cars and/or equipment.
RISKS RELATED
TO OUR BUSINESS AND INDUSTRY
If
our efforts to attract prospective customers to our Fleet Management business are not successful, or we fail to retain customers
or continue attracting existing customers to our products and services, our growth prospects and revenue will be adversely affected.
Our ability
to grow our business and generate revenue depends on retaining and expanding our total customer base, increasing revenue by effectively
increasing the number of customers to our Fleet Management business. We must convince prospective customers of the benefits of
our ridesharing vehicle rental services and equipment offerings and our existing users of the continuing value of our products
and services. Our ability to attract new users and customers, retain existing users and customers. If we fail to keep pace with
competing offerings or technological advancements to the ridesharing industry or our partner fails to offer compelling product
offerings and state-of-the-art delivery for its Rideshare Platform to meet consumer demands, our ability to grow or sustain the
reach of our product and service offerings, attract and retain users and customers may be adversely affected.
We
have no control over the Vehicle Registration Requirements or such other ridesharing vehicle requirements imposed by the major
TNC providers, and our business may be adversely affected in the event that TNC providers restrict or limit prospective ridesharing
drivers from utilizing or registering rental vehicles with the TNC.
We rely
on the major TNC businesses that drive and service the ridesharing economy, over whom we have no control, to impose the Vehicle
Registration Requirements and permit prospective ridesharing drivers to utilize lease or rental vehicles, such as our product offerings,
under their employment with the major TNC ridesharing services. We cannot guarantee that each major TNC business will always permit
prospective ridesharing drivers to use third-party lease or rental vehicles under their employment agreement with the TNC.
Our business
may be adversely affected if our ability to rent vehicles maintained under our Fleet Management business is limited, impaired or
delayed because of a modification to the Vehicle Registration Requirements or any similar prohibition that prevents prospective
ridesharing drivers from renting our Fleet Management vehicles or other third-party vehicle rentals for use under the terms of
the prospective ridesharing drivers agreement with such TNC businesses.
We
face risks of increased costs of cars and of decreased profitability, including as a result of limited supplies of competitively
priced cars.
Certain
car manufacturers, such as Ford, have adopted strategies to de-emphasize sales to the car rental industry which they view as less
profitable due to historical sales incentive and other discount programs that tended to lower the average cost of cars for fleet
purchasers such as us. Reduced or limited supplies of equipment together with increased prices are risks that we also face in our
equipment rental business. We cannot offer assurance that we will be able to pass on increased costs of cars or equipment to our
rental customers. Failure to pass on significant cost increases to our customers would have a material adverse impact on our results
of operations and financial condition.
Fluctuations
in fuel costs or reduced supplies could harm our business.
We could be adversely affected
by limitations on fuel supplies, the imposition of mandatory allocations or rationing of fuel or significant increases in fuel
prices. A severe or protracted disruption of fuel supplies or significant increases in fuel prices could have a material adverse
effect on our financial condition and results of operations, either by directly interfering with our normal activities or by disrupting
the air travel on which a significant portion of our car rental business relies.
The
concentration of our reservations, accounting and information technology functions at a limited number of facilities in Florida
creates risks for us.
We have concentrated
our reservations functions for the United States in one office location in Lauderdale by the Sea, Florida, and we have concentrated
our accounting functions for the United States in one office location in Los Angeles. In addition, our major information systems
are centralized in our office location in Lauderdale by the Sea. A disruption of normal business at any of our principal office
location in Lauderdale by the Sea, Florida, whether as the result of localized conditions (such as a fire or explosion) or as the
result of events or circumstances of broader geographic impact (such as an earthquake, storm, flood, epidemic, strike, act of war,
civil unrest or terrorist act), could materially adversely affect our business by disrupting normal reservations, customer service,
accounting and systems activities.
We face risks
arising from our heavy reliance on communications networks and centralized information systems.
We rely heavily on information
systems to accept reservations, process rental and sales transactions, manage our fleets of cars and equipment, account for our
activities and otherwise conduct our business. We have centralized our information systems in one office location in Lauderdale
by the Sea, Florida, and we rely on communications service providers to link our systems with the business locations these systems
serve. A simultaneous loss of both facilities, or a major disruption of communications between the systems and the locations they
serve, could cause a loss of reservations, interfere with our ability to manage our fleet, slow rental and sales processes and
otherwise materially adversely affect our ability to manage our business effectively. Our systems back-up plans, business continuity
plans and insurance programs are designed to mitigate such a risk, not to eliminate it. In addition, because our systems contain
information about individuals and businesses, our failure to maintain the security of the data we hold, whether the result of our
own error or the malfeasance or errors of others, could harm our reputation or give rise to legal liabilities leading to lower
revenues, increased costs and other material adverse effects on our results of operations.
The
misuse or theft of information we possess could harm our reputation or competitive position, adversely affect the price at which
shares of our common stock trade or give rise to material liabilities.
We possess
non-public information with respect to individuals, including our customers and our current and former employees, and businesses,
as well as non-public information with respect to our own affairs. The misuse or theft of that information by either our employees
or third parties could result in material damage to our brand, reputation or competitive position or materially affect the price
at which shares of our Common Stock trade. In addition, depending on the type of information involved, the nature of our relationship
with the person or entity to which the information relates, the cause and the jurisdiction whose laws are applicable, that misuse
or theft of information could result in governmental investigations or material civil or criminal liability. The laws that would
be applicable to such a failure are rapidly evolving and becoming more burdensome.
If
we acquire any businesses in the future, they could prove difficult to integrate, disrupt our business, or have an adverse effect
on our results of operations.
We intend
to pursue growth primarily through internal growth, but from time to time we may consider opportunistic acquisitions which may
be significant. Any future acquisition would involve numerous risks including, without limitation:
|
|
·
|
potential disruption of our ongoing business and distraction of management;
|
|
|
·
|
difficulty integrating the acquired business; and
|
|
|
·
|
exposure to unknown liabilities, including litigation against the companies we may acquire.
|
If we make
acquisitions in the future, acquisition-related accounting charges may affect our balance sheet and results of operations. In addition,
the financing of any significant acquisition may result in changes in our capital structure, including the incurrence of additional
indebtedness. We may not be successful in addressing these risks or any other problems encountered in connection with any acquisitions.
We
are subject to a number of risks related to other payment solution providers.
We will
accept payments through various payment solution providers, such as telco integrated billings and prepaid codes vendors. These
payment solution providers provide services to us in exchange for a fee, which may be subject to change. Furthermore, we rely on
their accurate and timely reports on sales and redemptions. If such accurate and timely reports are not being provided, it will
affect the accuracy of our reports to our licensors, and also affect the accuracy of our financial reporting.
Our
business is seasonal in Florida, and a disruption in rental activity during our peak season could materially adversely affect
our results of operations.
Certain
significant components of our expenses, including real estate taxes, rent, utilities, maintenance and other facility- related expenses,
the costs of operating our information systems and minimum staffing costs, are fixed in the short-run. Seasonal changes in our
revenues do not alter those fixed expenses, typically resulting in higher profitability in periods when our revenues are higher
and lower profitability in periods when our revenues are lower. The Company believes that the second and third quarters of the
year will be stronger quarters due to their increased levels of leisure travel and construction activity. Any occurrence that disrupts
rental activity during the second or third quarters could have a disproportionately material adverse effect on our liquidity and/or
results of operations.
Governmental
regulation and associated legal uncertainties could limit our ability to expand our product offerings or enter into new markets
and could require us to expend significant resources, including the attention of our management, to review and comply with such
regulations.
Elements
of the ridesharing industry are currently or will be regulated by Federal, state, city and/or local governments, and our ability
to provide these services is and will continue to be affected by government regulations. The implementation of unfavorable regulations
or unfavorable interpretations of existing regulations by courts or regulatory bodies with respect to the ridesharing industry
or “Transportation Network Companies” (“TNC”) could require us to incur significant compliance
costs, cause the development of the affected markets to become impractical and otherwise have a material adverse effect on our
business, results of operations and financial condition. Moreover, in the future, we may elect to add services or products to
our business plan that compete directly with ridesharing services, such as Uber and Lyft, which could expose us to additional
regulations, compliance obligations and legal challenges. In addition, our business strategy involves expansion into regions around
the world, many of which have different legislation, regulatory environments, tax laws and levels of political stability. Compliance
with foreign legal, governmental, regulatory or tax requirements will place demands on our time and resources, and we may nonetheless
experience unforeseen and potentially adverse legal, regulatory or tax consequences. It is intended that our business will assist
with the processing of customer credit card transactions which would result in us receiving and storing personally identifiable
information. This information is increasingly subject to legislation and regulations in numerous jurisdictions around the world.
This legislation and regulation is generally intended to protect the privacy and security of personal information, including credit
card information, that is collected, processed and transmitted in or from the governing jurisdiction. We could be adversely affected
if government regulations require TNCs, and as a result, us to significantly change our business practices with respect to this
type of information.
Manufacturer
safety recalls could create risks to our business.
Our Fleet
Management vehicles may be subject to safety recalls by their manufacturers. The Raechel and Jacqueline Houck Safe Rental Car Act
of 2015 prohibits us from renting vehicles with open federal safety recalls and to repair or address these recalls prior to renting
or selling the vehicle. Any federal safety recall with respect to our vehicles would require us to decline to rent recalled vehicles
until we can arrange for the steps described in the recall to be taken. If a large number of vehicles are the subject of a recall
or if needed replacement parts are not in adequate supply, we may not be able to rent recalled vehicles for a significant period
of time. Those types of disruptions could jeopardize our ability to fulfill existing contractual commitments or satisfy demand
for our vehicles and could also result in the loss of business to our competitors. Depending on the severity of any recall, it
could materially adversely affect our revenues, create customer service problems, reduce the residual value of the recalled vehicles
and harm our general reputation.
If
we are unable to purchase adequate supplies of competitively priced vehicles and the cost of the vehicles we purchase increases,
our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and cash flows may be materially adversely affected.
The price
and other terms at which we can acquire vehicles vary based on market and other conditions. For example, certain vehicle manufacturers
have in the past, and may in the future, utilize strategies to de-emphasize sales to the vehicle rental industry, which can negatively
impact our ability to obtain vehicles on competitive terms and conditions. Consequently, there is no guarantee that we can purchase
a sufficient number of vehicles at competitive prices and on competitive terms and conditions. If we are unable to obtain an adequate
supply of vehicles, or if we obtain less favorable pricing and other terms when we acquire vehicles and are unable to pass on any
increased costs to our customers, then our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and cash flows may be materially
adversely affected.
If
third parties claim that we infringe their intellectual property, it may result in costly litigation.
We cannot
assure you that third parties will not claim our current or future products or services infringe their intellectual property rights.
Any such claims, with or without merit, could cause costly litigation that could consume significant management time. As the number
of product and services offerings in the ridesharing industry increases and functionalities increasingly overlap, companies such
as ours may become increasingly subject to infringement claims. Such claims also might require us to enter into royalty or license
agreements. If required, we may not be able to obtain such royalty or license agreements or obtain them on terms acceptable to
us.
Failure
to comply with federal and state privacy laws and regulations, or the expansion of current or the enactment of new privacy laws
or regulations, could adversely affect our business.
A variety
of federal and state laws and regulations govern the collection, use, retention, sharing and security of consumer data. The existing
privacy-related laws and regulations are evolving and subject to potentially differing interpretations. In addition, various federal,
state and foreign legislative and regulatory bodies may expand current or enact new laws regarding privacy matters. Further, several
states have adopted legislation that requires businesses to implement and maintain reasonable security procedures and practices
to protect sensitive personal information and to provide notice to consumers in the event of a security breach. Any failure, or
perceived failure, by us to comply with our posted privacy policies or with any data-related consent orders, Federal Trade Commission
requirements or orders or other federal, state or international privacy or consumer protection-related laws, regulations or industry
self- regulatory principles could result in claims, proceedings or actions against us by governmental entities or others or other
liabilities, which could adversely affect our business. In addition, a failure or perceived failure to comply with industry standards
or with our own privacy policies and practices could adversely affect our business. Federal and state governmental authorities
continue to evaluate the privacy implications inherent in the use of third-party web “cookies” for behavioral
advertising. The regulation of these cookies and other current online advertising practices could adversely affect our business.
Our
business model is entirely dependent on the continued success and viability of the ridesharing industry and “transportation
network companies”, and we may become subject to government regulation and legal uncertainties that could reduce demand
for our products and services or increase the cost of doing business, thereby adversely affecting our ability to generate revenues.
The past
year has seen a boom in the number of ridesharing companies that allow customers to order rides on demand using apps on their smartphones.
Private drivers use their personal automobiles to pick up the customers and drive them to the desired destination in exchange for
a negotiated fee. The passengers then write reviews, similar to other peer-to-peer online services. Large amounts of venture capital
and private equity has been invested in a handful of these new companies, which have the potential to disrupt the traditional transportation
industry. However, the ridesharing marketplace has come under increased scrutiny from governments and various interested groups
(such as taxi drivers, taxi companies, environmentalists, etc.) have continuously opposed the proliferation of ridesharing services
in recent years. Despite opposition from many of these interested groups and governmental agencies, on September 19, 2013, the
California Public Utilities Commission (“CPUC”) voted unanimously to allow these ridesharing services to operate
in California as a new category of business called “transportation network companies” (“TNC”).
In many
states and possibly Florida, licenses will be issued to qualifying TNCs, subject to new regulations that require drivers to undergo
criminal background checks and vehicle inspections, receive driver training, follow a zero-tolerance policy on drugs and alcohol,
and carry insurance policies with a minimum of $1 Million in liability coverage. Some of the companies that are expected to receive
new TNC licenses include Lyft (www.lyft.me), SideCar (www.side.cr) and UberX (www.uber.com). The CPUC has responded to rapidly
evolving disruptive technology and its decision will likely set an example for cities and states across the country. Its decision
is also expected to preempt ongoing efforts by some California cities to regulate or ban peer-to-peer ridesharing under their authority
to license taxi companies. The City of Los Angeles, however, is currently considering a possible appeal of the CPUC decision and
implementing additional regulations to TNC drivers, which have been referred to as “Bandit cabs” by some on
the City Council. Other cities across the country are also now looking at new regulations for Rideshare companies.
As can
be gleaned from these recent events around the ridesharing industry, this new business model is not without its opponents. Some
raise concerns about public safety and the potential for abuse or unintended consequences, while others question whether the new
regulations require additional enforcement capability. The taxi industry, which is less than pleased to see this new competition,
has criticized these ridesharing apps as operating essentially like unlicensed taxi cabs. Since the new technology uses GPS to
measure the distance of a ride and the corresponding fee, the taxi industry believes that it works similarly to a taxi meter and
should therefore comply with local taxi ordinances. Some of the primary concerns raised by skeptics include how liability will
be allocated between the TNC and its independent contractor driver, and how the insurance industry will adapt to this new business.
Proper hiring practices, training and oversight by the TNC also will be necessary to ensure public safety. The extent to which
the TNCs will be inspected and the new regulations enforced is still unclear, but this will be an important means by which the
public may judge the safety of this new industry. Based on the direction states and cities are heading with respect to the governance
of TNCs or ridesharing services, and the ever increasing popularity and use of ridesharing services and TNCs, it is likely that
a number of laws and regulations will become applicable to us or the TNCs which we rely upon for the operation of products and
related services or may be adopted in the future with respect to mobile applications and/or TNCs covering issues such as: (i) liability,
(ii) unionization, (iii) rules and standards for drivers, vehicles, and passenger safety, (iv) licensing and insurance requirements,
and (v) environmental concerns, among others. It is difficult to predict how existing laws will be applied to our business and
the new laws and regulations to which we and/or ridesharing services will likely become subject. If ridesharing services are not
able to comply with these laws or regulations or if we become liable under these laws or regulations, we could be directly harmed,
and we may be forced to implement new measures to sustain our operating business segments. We anticipate that scrutiny and regulation
of the ridesharing industry will increase and we will be required to devote legal and other resources to addressing such regulation,
either directly or indirectly. Changes to these laws intended to address these issues, including some recently proposed changes,
could create uncertainty in the marketplace. Such uncertainty could reduce demand for our services or increase the cost of doing
business due to increased costs of litigation or increased service or operating costs.
We
may be subject to a number of risks related to credit card payments, including data security breaches and fraud that we or third
parties experience or additional regulation, any of which could adversely affect our business financial condition and results
of operations.
We
may be subject to a number of risks related to credit card payments, including data security breaches and fraud that we or
third parties experience or additional regulation, any of which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and
results of operations. We anticipate accepting payment from our users primarily through credit card transactions and certain
online payment service providers. The ability to access credit card information on a real time-basis without having to
proactively reach out to the consumer each time we process an auto-renewal payment or a payment for the purchase of a premium
feature on any of our dating products is critical to our success. When we or a third party experiences a data security breach
involving credit card information, affected cardholders will often cancel their credit cards. In the case of a breach
experienced by a third party, the more sizable the third party's customer base and the greater the number of credit card
accounts impacted, the more likely it is that our users would be impacted by such a breach. To the extent our users are ever
affected by such a breach experienced by us or a third party, affected users would need to be contacted to obtain new credit
card information and process any pending transactions. It is likely that we would not be able to reach all affected users,
and even if we could, some users' new credit card information may not be obtained and some pending transactions may not be
processed, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Even if our users are
not directly impacted by a given data security breach, they may lose confidence in the ability of service providers to
protect their personal information generally, which could cause them to stop using their credit cards online and choose
alternative payment methods that are not as convenient for us or restrict our ability to process payments without significant
user effort. Additionally, if we fail to adequately prevent fraudulent credit card transactions, we may face civil liability,
diminished public perception of our security measures and significantly higher credit card-related costs, any of which could
adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Finally, the passage or adoption of any
legislation or regulation affecting the ability of service providers to periodically charge consumers for
recurring membership payments may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We
depend on the continued growth and reliability of the internet, global positioning systems, ridesharing services and apps.
The recent
growth in the use of apps and ridesharing services may cause periods of decreased performance for many ridesharing services, internet
providers, apps and related service providers. If app and ridesharing usage continues to grow rapidly, the infrastructure these
services are reliant upon (i.e. the internet, global positioning systems, and telecommunications networks and devices) may not
be able to support these demands and therefore performance and reliability may decline. Decreased performance with respect to some
or all of these critical components of our business model has also been attributed to illegal attacks by third parties. If outages
or delays occur frequently or increase in frequency, or businesses are not able to protect themselves adequately from such illegal
attacks, the market for mobile apps, ridesharing services and related technologies could grow more slowly or decline, which may
reduce the demand for our Rideshare Platform and related services.
Our
business is dependent upon consumers renting our Fleet Management vehicles, and using the related services of our partner’s
Rideshare Platform and if we fail to obtain broad adoption, our business would be adversely affected.
Our success
will depend on our ability to monetize our fleet of vehicles, which depends on our partner’s Rideshare Platform being fully
functional and reliable as intended, and our customers adopting it as a ridesharing vehicle rental service provider. We do not
know if the products and services will be successful over the long term and market acceptance may be hindered if our Rideshare
platform doesn’t function efficiently and/or our user experience isn’t compelling and financially beneficial to our
users. If consumers do not adopt and use our Rideshare Platform and related services, we will not be able to generate revenues
and our financial condition will suffer as a result.
No
assurances of protection for proprietary rights; reliance on trade secrets.
In certain
cases, we may rely on trade secrets to protect intellectual property, proprietary technology and processes, which we have acquired,
developed or may develop in the future. There can be no assurances that secrecy obligations will be honored or that others will
not independently develop similar or superior products or technology. The protection of intellectual property and/or proprietary
technology through claims of trade secret status has been the subject of increasing claims and litigation by various companies
both in order to protect proprietary rights as well as for competitive reasons even where proprietary claims are unsubstantiated.
The prosecution of proprietary claims or the defense of such claims is costly and uncertain given the uncertainty and rapid development
of the principles of law pertaining to this area. We may also be subject to claims by other parties with regard to the use of intellectual
property, technology information and data, which may be deemed proprietary to others.
We
currently have a small sales and marketing organization. If we are unable to expand our direct sales force in Florida to promote
our services and related products, the commercial appeal and brand awareness for our products and services may be diminished.
We currently
have a small sales and marketing organization. The Company may expand the core sales and marketing team to oversee the sales and
marketing of our “DNA Brands!” business. We will incur significant additional expenses and commit significant
additional management resources to expand and grow our sales force. We may not be able to build on the expansion of these capabilities
despite these additional expenditures. If we elect to rely on third parties to sell our products in the U.S., we may receive less
revenue than if we sold our products directly. In addition, although we would intend to diligently monitor their activities, we
may have little or no control over the sales efforts of those third parties. In the event we are unable to develop and expand our
own sales force or collaborate with a third party to sell our products, we may not be able to operate our products and/or services
which would negatively impact our ability to generate revenue. We may not be able to enter into any marketing arrangements on favorable
terms or at all. If we are unable to enter into a marketing arrangement for our products, we may not be able to develop an effective
sales force to successfully operate our products and/or services. If we fail to enter into marketing arrangements for our products
and are unable to develop an effective sales force, our ability to generate revenue would be limited.
RISKS RELATED
TO THIS OFFERING
Our
Offering differs significantly from an underwritten initial public offering.
This is not an underwritten
initial public offering. This listing differs from an underwritten initial public offering in several significant ways, which include,
but are not limited to, the following:
|
|
·
|
There are no underwriters. Consequently, there will be no book building process and no price at which underwriters initially
sold shares to the public to help inform efficient price discovery;
|
|
|
·
|
There can be no assurance that we will be able to stay current with OTC Bulletin Board Pink Current Information requirements;
|
|
|
·
|
There may be low trading volume of our Common Stock limiting their liquidity;
|
|
|
·
|
We are not currently working with a market maker, therefore is no underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares to help
stabilize, maintain, or affect the public price of our Common Stock;
|
|
|
·
|
Given that there will be no underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares or otherwise underwriters in engaging in stabilizing
transactions, there could be greater volatility in the public price of our Common Stock during the period immediately following
qualification of this Offering; and
|
|
|
·
|
We will not conduct a traditional “roadshow” with underwriters prior to the qualification of this Offering. As a result, there
may not be efficient price discovery with respect to our ordinary shares or sufficient demand among investors immediately after
our listing, which could result in a more volatile public price of our ordinary shares.
|
Such differences
from an underwritten initial public offering could result in a volatile market price for our Common Stock and uncertain trading
volume and may adversely affect your ability to sell your Common Stock.
The
public price of our Common Stock may be volatile, and could, following a sale decline significantly and rapidly.
As this
Offering is taking place via a process that is not an underwritten initial public offering, there will be no book building process
and no price at which underwriters initially sold shares to the public to help inform efficient price discovery with respect to
the opening trades on securities exchange markets. Following this Offering, the public price of our Common Stock on the OTCPNK
exchange may lead to price volatility.
No
minimum capitalization.
We do not
have a minimum capitalization and we may use the proceeds from this Offering immediately following our acceptance of the corresponding
subscription agreements. It is possible we may only raise a minimum amount of capital, which could leave us with insufficient capital
to operate our business segments, potentially resulting in greater operating losses unless we are able to raise the required capital
from alternative sources. There is no assurance that alternative capital, if needed, would be available on terms acceptable to
us, or at all.
We
may not be able maintain a listing of our Common Stock.
To maintain
our listing on the OTCPNK exchange, we must meet certain financial and liquidity criteria to maintain such listing. If we violate
the maintenance requirements for continued listing of our Common Stock, our Common Stock may be delisted. In addition, our board
may determine that the cost of maintaining our listing on a national securities exchange outweighs the benefits of such listing.
A delisting of our Common Stock from the OTCPNK Market may materially impair our stockholders’ ability to buy and sell our
Common Stock and could have an adverse effect on the market price of, and the efficiency of the trading market for, our Common
Stock. In addition, in order to maintain our listing, we will be required to, among other things, file our regular quarterly reports
on otcmarkets.com. The post-qualification amendment of the Offering Statement is subject to review by the SEC, and there is no
guarantee that such amendment will be qualified promptly after filing. Any delay in the qualification of the post-qualification
amendment may cause a delay in the trading of offering Shares. For all of the foregoing reasons, you may experience a delay between
the closing of your purchase of shares of our Common Stock and the commencement of exchange trading of our Common Stock. In addition,
the delisting of our Common Stock could significantly impair our ability to raise capital.
There may be significantly less trading
volume and analyst coverage of, and significantly less investor interest in, our Common Stock, which may lead to lower trading
prices for our Common Stock.
This
Offering has not been reviewed by independent professionals.
We have
not retained any independent professionals to review or comment on this Offering or otherwise protect the interest of the investors
hereunder. Although we have retained our own counsel, neither such counsel nor any other counsel has made, on behalf of the investors,
any independent examination of any factual matters represented by management herein. Therefore, for purposes of making a decision
to purchase our Shares, you should not rely on our counsel with respect to any matters herein described. Prospective investors
are strongly urged to rely on the advice of their own legal counsel and advisors in making a determination to purchase our Shares.
There
has been no public market for our Common Stock prior to this Offering, and an active market in which investors can resell their
shares may not develop.
Prior to
this Offering, there has been no public market for our Common Stock. We cannot predict the extent to which an active market for
our Common Stock will develop or be sustained after this Offering, or how the development of such a market might affect the market
price of our Common Stock. The initial offering price of our Common Stock in this offering is based on a number of factors, including
market conditions in effect at the time of the offering, and it may not be in any way indicative of the price at which our shares
will trade following the completion of this offering. Investors may not be able to resell their shares at or above the initial
offering price.
The
market price of our Common Stock may fluctuate, and you could lose all or part of your investment.
The offering
price for our Common Stock is based on a number of factors. The price of our Common Stock may decline following this Offering.
The stock market in general, and the market price of our Common Stock, will likely be subject to fluctuation, whether due to, or
irrespective of, our operating results, financial condition and prospects. Our financial performance, our industry’s overall
performance, changing consumer preferences, technologies and advertiser requirements, government regulatory action, tax laws and
market conditions in general could have a significant impact on the future market price of our Common Stock. Some of the other
factors that could negatively affect our share price or result in fluctuations in our share price includes:
|
|
·
|
actual or anticipated variations in our periodic operating results;
|
|
|
·
|
increases in market interest rates that lead purchasers of our Common Stock to demand a higher yield;
|
|
|
·
|
changes in earnings estimates;
|
|
|
·
|
changes in market valuations of similar companies;
|
|
|
·
|
actions or announcements by our competitors;
|
|
|
·
|
adverse market reaction to any increased indebtedness we may incur in the future;
|
|
|
·
|
additions or departures of key personnel;
|
|
|
·
|
actions by stockholders;
|
|
|
·
|
speculation in the press or investment community; and
|
|
|
·
|
our intentions and ability to list our Common Stock on a national securities exchange and our subsequent ability to maintain
such listing.
|
We
do not expect to declare or pay dividends in the foreseeable future.
We do not
expect to declare or pay dividends in the foreseeable future, as we anticipate that we will invest future earnings in the development
and growth of our business. Therefore, holders of our Common Stock will not receive any return on their investment unless they
sell their securities, and holders may be unable to sell their securities on favorable terms or at all.
Sales
of our Common Stock under Rule 144 could reduce the price of our stock.
In general,
persons holding “restricted securities,” including affiliates, must hold their shares for a period of at least
six (6) months, may not sell more than one percent (1%) of the total issued and outstanding shares in any ninety (90) day period,
and must resell the shares in an unsolicited brokerage transaction at the market price. However, Rule 144 will only be available
for resale in the ninety (90) days after the Company files its semi-annual reports on Form 1-SA and annual reports on Form 1-K,
unless the Company voluntarily files interim quarterly reports on Form 1-U, which the Company has not yet decided to do. The availability
for sale of substantial amounts of common stock under Rule 144 could reduce prevailing market prices for our securities.
Our
failure to maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting could have an adverse impact on us.
We are
required to establish and maintain appropriate internal controls over financial reporting. Failure to establish those controls,
or any failure of those controls once established, could adversely impact our public disclosures regarding our business, financial
condition or results of operations. In addition, management's assessment of internal controls over financial reporting may identify
weaknesses and conditions that need to be addressed in our internal controls over financial reporting or other matters that may
raise concerns for investors. Any actual or perceived weaknesses and conditions that need to be addressed in our internal control
over financial reporting, disclosure of management's assessment of our internal controls over financial reporting or disclosure
of our public accounting firm's attestation to or report on management's assessment of our internal controls over financial reporting
may have an adverse impact on the price of our Common Stock.
Management
discretion as to the actual use of the proceeds derived from this Offering.
The net
proceeds from this Offering will be used for the purposes described under “Use of Proceeds.” However,
we reserve the right to use the funds obtained from this Offering for other similar purposes not presently contemplated which we
deem to be in the best interests of the Company and our shareholders in order to address changed circumstances or opportunities.
As a result of the foregoing, our success will be substantially dependent upon the discretion and judgment of the Board of Directors
with respect to application and allocation of the net proceeds of this Offering. Investors who purchase our Common Stock will be
entrusting their funds to our Board of Directors, upon whose judgment and discretion the investors must depend.
The
offering price of our Common Stock was arbitrarily determined and does not reflect the value of the company, our assets or our
business.
The offering
price of our Common Stock was arbitrarily determined by our management and is not based on book value, assets, earnings or any
other recognizable standard of value. We arbitrarily established the offering price considering such matters as the state of our
business development and the general condition of, and opportunities present in, the industry in which we operate. No assurance
can be given that our Common Stock Shares, or any portion thereof, could be sold for the offering price or for any amount. If profitable
results are not achieved from our operations, of which there can be no assurance, the value of our Common Stock sold pursuant to
this Offering will fall below the offering price and become worthless. Prospective investors should not consider the offering price
of the Common Stock as indicative of their actual value. The offering price bears little relationship to our assets, net worth,
or any other objective criteria.
General
securities investment risks.
All
investments in securities involve the risk of loss of capital. No guarantee or representation is made that an investor will
receive a return of its capital. The value of our Common Stock can be adversely affected by a variety of factors, including
development problems, regulatory issues, technical issues, commercial challenges, competition, legislation, government
intervention, industry developments and trends, and general business and economic conditions.
Multiple
securities offerings and potential for integration of our offerings.
We are
currently and will in the future be involved in one or more additional offers of our securities in other unrelated securities offerings.
Any two or more securities offerings undertaken by us could be found by the SEC, or a state securities regulator, agency, to be
“integrated” and therefore constitute a single offering of securities, which finding could lead to a disallowance
of certain exemptions from registration for the sale of our securities in such other securities offerings. Such a finding could
result in disallowance of one or more of our exemptions from registration, which could give rise to various legal actions on behalf
of a federal or state regulatory agency and the Company.
Offering
not reviewed by independent professionals.
We have
not retained any independent professionals to review or comment on this Offering or otherwise protect the interest of the investors
hereunder. Although we have retained our own counsel, neither such counsel nor any other counsel has made, on behalf of the investors,
any independent examination of any factual matters represented by management herein. Therefore, for purposes of making a decision
to purchase our Common Stock, you should not rely on our counsel with respect to any matters herein described. Prospective investors
are strongly urged to rely on the advice of their own legal counsel and advisors in making a determination to purchase our Common
Stock.
We
cannot guarantee that we will sell any specific number of Common Stock shares in this Offering.
There
is no commitment by anyone to purchase all or any part of the Common Stock Shares offered hereby and, consequently, we can
give no assurance that all of the Common Stock shares in this Offering will be sold. Additionally, there is no underwriter
for this Offering; therefore, you will not have the benefit of an underwriter's due diligence efforts that would typically
include the underwriter being involved in the preparation of this Offering Circular and the pricing of our Common Stock
shares offered hereunder. Therefore, there can be no assurance that this Offering will be successful or that we will raise
enough capital from this Offering to further our development and business activities in a meaningful manner. Finally,
prospective investors should be aware that we reserve the right to withdraw, cancel, or modify this Offering at any time
without notice, to reject any subscription in whole or in part, or to allot to any prospective purchaser fewer Common Stock
Shares than the number for which he or she subscribed.
Investors
will experience immediate and substantial dilution in the book value of their investment, and will experience additional dilution
in the future.
If you purchase
our Common Stock in this Offering, you will experience immediate and substantial dilution because the price you pay will be substantially
greater than the net tangible book value per share of the shares you acquire. Since we will require funds in addition to the proceeds
of this Offering to conduct our planned business, we will raise such additional funds, to the extent not generated internally from
operations, by issuing additional equity and/or debt securities, resulting in further dilution to our existing stockholders (including
purchasers of our Common Stock in this Offering).
We
may be unable to meet our current and future capital requirements from capital raised by this Offering.
Our
capital requirements depend on numerous factors, including but not limited to the rate and success of our development
efforts, marketing efforts, market acceptance of our products and services and other related services, our ability to
establish and maintain our agreements with the ridesharing services currently operating, our ability to maintain and expand
our user base, the rate of expansion of our user community, the level of resources required to develop and operate our
products and services, information systems and research and development activities, the availability of software and services
provided by third-party vendors and other factors. The capital requirements relating to development of our technology and the
continued and expanding operations of our business segments will be significant. We cannot accurately predict the timing and
amount of such capital requirements. However, we are dependent on the proceeds of this Offering as well as additional
financing that will be required in order to operate our business segments and execute on our business plans. However, in the
event that our plans change, our assumptions change or prove to be inaccurate, or if the proceeds of this Offering prove to
be insufficient to operate our business segments, we would be required to seek additional financing sooner than currently
anticipated. There can be no assurance that any such financing will be available to us on commercially reasonable terms, or
at all. Furthermore, any additional equity financing may dilute the equity interests of our existing shareholders (including
those purchasing shares pursuant to this Offering), and debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants with
respect to dividends, raising future capital and other financial and operational matters. If we are unable to obtain
additional financing as and when needed, we may be required to reduce the scope of our operations or our anticipated business
plans, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.
There
may be little to no volume in the trading of our common stock, and you may not be able to resell your Common Stock at or above
the initial public offering price.
There can
no assurance that our Common Stock shares will maintain a sufficient trading market sufficient for the shares in this offering.
If no active trading market for our Common Stock is sustained following this Offering, you may be unable to sell your shares when
you wish to sell them or at a price that you consider attractive or satisfactory. The lack of an active market may also adversely
affect our ability to raise capital by selling securities in the future or impair our ability to license or acquire other product
candidates, businesses or technologies using our shares as consideration.
The
market price of our Common Stock may fluctuate significantly, and investors in our Common Stock may lose all or a part of their
investment.
If a market
for our Common Stock develops following this Offering, the trading price of our Common Stock could be subject to wide fluctuations
in response to various factors, some of which are beyond our control. The market prices for securities of transportation ridesharing
companies have historically been highly volatile, and the market has from time to time experienced significant price and volume
fluctuations that are unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. The market price of our common stock may
fluctuate significantly in response to numerous factors, some of which are beyond our control, such as:
|
|
·
|
actual or anticipated adverse results or delays in our research and development efforts;
|
|
|
·
|
our failure to operate our business;
|
|
|
·
|
unanticipated serious safety concerns related to our business;
|
|
|
·
|
adverse regulatory decisions;
|
|
|
·
|
legal disputes or other developments relating to proprietary rights, including patents, litigation matters and our ability
to obtain patent protection for our intellectual property, government investigations and the results of any proceedings or lawsuits,
including patent or stockholder litigation;
|
|
|
·
|
changes in laws or regulations applicable to our business and the ridesharing industry;
|
|
|
·
|
our dependence on third parties;
|
|
|
·
|
announcements of the introduction of new products by our competitors;
|
|
|
·
|
market conditions in the ridesharing or transportation sectors;
|
|
|
·
|
announcements concerning product development results or intellectual property rights of others;
|
|
|
·
|
future issuances of our Common Stock or other securities;
|
|
|
·
|
the addition or departure of key personnel;
|
|
|
·
|
actual or anticipated variations in quarterly operating results;
|
|
|
·
|
announcements of significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments by us or our competitors;
|
|
|
·
|
our failure to meet or exceed the estimates and projections of the investment community;
|
|
|
·
|
issuances of debt or equity securities;
|
|
|
·
|
trading volume of our Common Stock;
|
|
|
·
|
sales of our Common Stock by us or our stockholders in the future;
|
|
|
·
|
overall performance of the equity markets and other factors that may be unrelated to our operating performance or the operating
performance of our competitors, including changes in market valuations of similar companies;
|
|
|
·
|
failure to meet or exceed any financial guidance or expectations regarding development milestones that we may provide to the
public;
|
|
|
·
|
ineffectiveness of our internal controls;
|
|
|
·
|
general political and economic conditions;
|
|
|
·
|
effects of natural or man-made catastrophic events;
|
|
|
·
|
other events or factors, many of which are beyond our control; and
|
|
|
·
|
publication of research reports about us or our industry or positive or negative recommendations or withdrawal of research
coverage by securities analysts.
|
Further,
price and volume fluctuations result in volatility in the price of our common stock, which could cause a decline in the value
of our Common Stock. Price volatility of our common stock might worsen if the trading volume of our Common Stock is low. The
realization of any of the above risks or any of a broad range of other risks, including those described in these
“Risk Factors,” could have a dramatic and material adverse impact on the market price of our Common
Stock.
A
sale of a substantial number of shares of the Common Stock may cause the price of our Common Stock to decline.
If our stockholders
sell, or the market perceives that our stockholders intend to sell for various reasons, substantial amounts of our Common Stock
in the public market, including shares issued in connection with the exercise of outstanding options or warrants, the market price
of our Common Stock could fall. Sales of a substantial number of shares of our Common Stock may make it more difficult for us to
sell equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and price that we deem reasonable or appropriate. We may become
involved in securities class action litigation that could divert management’s attention and harm our business. The stock
markets have from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that have affected the market prices for the
Common Stock of pharmaceutical companies. These broad market fluctuations may cause the market price of our Common Stock to decline.
In the past, securities class action litigation has often been brought against a company following a decline in the market price
of a company’s securities. We may become involved in this type of litigation in the future. Litigation often is expensive
and diverts management’s attention and resources, which could adversely affect our business.
Our
semi-annual operating results may fluctuate significantly.
We expect
our operating results to be subject to semi-annual fluctuations. Our net loss and other operating results will be affected by numerous
factors, including:
|
|
·
|
variations in the level of expenses related to our business segments;
|
|
|
·
|
any intellectual property infringement lawsuit in which we may become involved;
|
|
|
·
|
regulatory developments affecting our business and industry; and
|
|
|
·
|
our execution of any collaborative, licensing or similar arrangements, and the timing of payments we may make or receive under
these arrangements.
|
If our quarterly
operating results fall below the expectations of investors or securities analysts, the price of our Common Stock could decline
substantially. Furthermore, any quarterly fluctuations in our operating results may, in turn, cause the price of our Common Stock
to fluctuate substantially.
Our
ability to use our net operating loss carry forwards may be subject to limitation.
Generally,
a change of more than fifty percent (50%) in the ownership of a company’s stock, by value, over a three-year period constitutes
an ownership change for U.S. federal income tax purposes. An ownership change may limit our ability to use our net operating loss
carryforwards attributable to the period prior to the change. As a result, if we earn net taxable income, our ability to use our
pre-change net operating loss carryforwards to offset U.S. federal taxable income may become subject to limitations, which could
potentially result in increased future tax liability for us.
The
number of securities traded on an ATS may be very small, making the market price more easily manipulated.
While
we understand that many ATS platforms have adopted policies and procedures such that security holders are not free to
manipulate the trading price of securities contrary to applicable law, and while the risk of market manipulation exists in
connection with the trading of any securities, the risk may be greater for our Common Stock because the ATS we choose may be
a closed system that does not have the same breadth of market and liquidity as the national market system. There can be no
assurance that the efforts by an ATS to prevent such behavior will be sufficient to prevent such market manipulation.
The
preparation of our financial statements involves the use of estimates, judgments and assumptions, and our financial statements
may be materially affected if such estimates, judgments or assumptions prove to be inaccurate.
Financial
statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”)
typically require the use of estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts. Often, different estimates,
judgments and assumptions could reasonably be used that would have a material effect on such financial statements, and changes
in these estimates, judgments and assumptions may occur from period to period over time. These estimates, judgments and assumptions
are inherently uncertain and, if our estimates were to prove to be wrong, we would face the risk that charges to income or other
financial statement changes or adjustments would be required. Any such charges or changes could harm our business, including our
financial condition and results of operations and the price of our securities. See “Management’s Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” for a discussion of the accounting estimates, judgments and
assumptions that we believe are the most critical to an understanding of our consolidated financial statements and our business.
If
securities industry analysts do not publish research reports on us, or publish unfavorable reports on us, then the market price
and market trading volume of our Common Stock could be negatively affected.
Any trading
market for our Common Stock will be influenced in part by any research reports that securities industry analysts publish about
us. We do not currently have and may never obtain research coverage by securities industry analysts. If no securities industry
analysts commence coverage of us, the market price and market trading volume of our Common Stock could be negatively affected.
In the event we are covered by analysts, and one or more of such analysts downgrade our securities, or otherwise reports on us
unfavorably, or discontinues coverage or us, the market price and market trading volume of our Common Stock could be negatively
affected.
Our
management has broad discretion as to the use of certain of the net proceeds from this Offering.
We intend
to use a significant portion of the net proceeds from this Offering (if we sell all of the shares being offered) for working capital
and other general corporate purposes. However, we cannot specify with certainty the particular uses of such proceeds. Our management
will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds designated for use as working capital or for other general corporate
purposes. Accordingly, you will have to rely upon the judgment of our management with respect to the use of these proceeds. Our
management may spend a portion or all of the net proceeds from this Offering in ways that holders of our Common Stock may not desire
or that may not yield a significant return or any return at all. The failure by our management to apply these funds effectively
could harm our business. Pending their use, we may also invest the net proceeds from this offering in a manner that does not produce
income or that loses value. Please see “Use of Proceeds” below for more information.
Our
Common Stock could be subject to the “Penny Stock” rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission if it were publicly
traded and may be difficult to sell.
Our
shares of Common Stock are considered to be “penny stocks” because they are not registered on a national
securities exchange or listed on an automated quotation system sponsored by a registered national securities association,
pursuant to Rule 3a51- 1(a) under the Exchange Act. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules
require that a broker or dealer approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks and that the broker or
dealer receives from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the
penny stock to be purchased. The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure
schedule prescribed by the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to the penny stock market, which sets forth the basis
on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination and that the broker or dealer received a signed, written
agreement from the investor prior to the transaction. Generally, brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in
securities subject to the “penny stock” rules. This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of our
common stock and cause a decline in the market value of our stock.
The
market for penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse.
Stockholders
should be aware that, according to SEC Release No. 34-29093, the market for penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns
of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include:
|
|
·
|
control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer;
|
|
|
·
|
manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases;
|
|
|
·
|
boiler room practices involving high-pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced salespersons;
|
|
|
·
|
excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differential and markups by selling broker-dealers; and
|
|
|
·
|
the wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired
level, along with the resulting inevitable collapse of those prices and with consequential investor losses.
|
The
foregoing risk factors are not to be considered a definitive list of all the risks associated with an investment in our Offered
Shares. This Offering Circular contains forward-looking statements that are based on our current expectations, assumptions, estimates,
and projections about our business, our industry, and the industry of our clients. When used in this Offering Circular, the words
“expects,” anticipates,” “estimates,” “intends,” “believes” and similar
expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties
that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. The cautionary statements made in this Offering Circular
should be read as being applicable to all related forward-looking statements wherever they appear in this Offering Circular.
USE OF PROCEEDS
Assuming the sale by
us of the Maximum Offering of $2,500,000 and no estimated expenses, the total net proceeds to us would be $2,500,000, which we
currently intend to use as set forth below. We expect from time to time to evaluate the acquisition of businesses, products and
technologies for which a portion of the net proceeds may be used, although we currently are not planning or negotiating any such
transactions. As of the date of this Offering Circular, we cannot specify with certainty all of the particular uses for the net
proceeds to us from the sale of Common Stock. Accordingly, we will retain broad discretion over the use of these proceeds, if
any. The following table represents management’s best estimate of the uses of the net proceeds received from the sale of
Common Stock assuming the sale of, respectively, 100%, 75%, 50% and 25% of the Common Stock shares offered for sale in this Offering.

The amounts
set forth above are estimates, and we cannot be certain that actual costs will not vary from these estimates. Our management has
significant flexibility and broad discretion in applying the net proceeds received in this Offering. We cannot assure you that
our assumptions, expected costs and expenses and estimates will prove to be accurate or that unforeseen events, problems or delays
will not occur that would require us to seek additional debt and/or equity funding, which may not be available on favorable terms,
or at all. See “Risk Factors.”
This
expected use of the net proceeds from this Offering represents our intentions based upon our current financial condition, results
of operations, business plans and conditions. As of the date of this Offering Circular, we cannot predict with certainty all of
the particular uses for the net proceeds to be received upon the closing of this Offering or the amounts that we will actually
spend on the uses set forth above. The amounts and timing of our actual expenditures may vary significantly depending on numerous
factors. As a result, our management will retain broad discretion over the allocation of the net proceeds from this Offering.
We
may also use a portion of the net proceeds for the investment in strategic partnerships and possibly the acquisition of complementary
businesses, products or technologies, although we have no present commitments or agreements for any specific acquisitions or investments.
Pending our use of the net proceeds from this Offering, we intend to invest the net proceeds in a variety of capital preservation
investments, including short-term, investment grade, interest bearing instruments and U.S. government securities.
DILUTION
If
you purchase shares in this Offering, your ownership interest in our Common Stock will be diluted immediately, to the extent of
the difference between the price to the public charged for each share in this Offering and the net tangible book value per share
of our Common Stock after this Offering.
On December 9, 2020,
there were an aggregate of 4,494,935 shares of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding. Our net book value as of March 31,
2019, was $(2,630,596) or $(0.58) per then-outstanding share of our Common Stock.
The following table
illustrates the per share dilution to new investors discussed above, assuming the sale of, respectively, 100%, 75%, 50% and 25%
of the shares offered for sale in this offering:

MANAGEMENT'S
DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION & RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
You should read the following
discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of our operations together with our consolidated financial statements
and the notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Offering Circular. This discussion contains forward-looking statements reflecting
our current expectations, whose actual outcomes involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results and the timing of events may differ
materially from those stated in or implied by these forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including those discussed
in the sections entitled “Risk Factors,” "Cautionary Statement regarding Forward-Looking Statements" and
elsewhere in this Offering Circular. Please see the notes to our Financial Statements for information about our Significant Accounting
Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements.
Overview
DNA
Brands, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as “us,” “our,” “we,” the “Company” or “DNA”)
was incorporated in the State of Colorado on May 23, 2007 under the name Famous Products, Inc. Prior to July 6, 2010 we were a
beverage company. We are looking to reproduce, market and sell a proprietary line of five carbonated blends of DNA Energy Drink®,
Citrus, Sugar Free Citrus, Original (a unique combination of Red Bull® and Monster® energy drinks), Cryo- Berry (a refreshing
mix of cranberry and raspberry) and Molecular Melon (a cool and refreshing taste); as well as three milk based energy coffees
with fortified with Omega 3. These flavors are Mocha, Vanilla Latte and Caramel Macchiato.
Our
business commenced in May 2006 in the State of Florida under the name Grass Roots Beverage Company, Inc. (“Grass
Roots”). Initial operations of Grass Roots included development of our energy drinks, sampling and other marketing
efforts and initial distribution in the State of Florida. In May 2006 we formed DNA Beverage Corporation, a Florida
corporation (“DNA Beverage”). Our early years were devoted to brand development, creating awareness through heavy
sampling programs and creating credibility among our then core demographic by concentrating marketing efforts on action
sports locations and events (surf, motocross, skate, etc.).
Effective
July 6, 2010, we executed agreements to acquire all of the assets, liabilities and contract rights of DNA Beverage and 100% of
the common stock of DNA Beverage’s wholly owned subsidiary Grass Roots Beverage Company, Inc. (“Grass Roots”)
in exchange for the issuance of 31,250,000 shares of our common stock. The share issuance represented approximately 94.6% of our
outstanding shares at the time of issuance. As a result of this transaction we also changed our name to “DNA Brands, Inc.”
Grass
Roots was dissolved and ceased activity on December 31, 2013. Whereby DNA Brands Inc has been the surviving
entity.
Financial Statement Presentation
The
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form
10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Pursuant to these rules and regulations, certain information and note disclosures, normally
included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP, have been condensed or omitted. GAAP requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and related disclosures. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
(consisting of normal recurring items) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for
the Company ended December 31, 2018. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2018 has been derived from the unaudited financial
statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.
For further information, refer to the Company’s financial statements and notes thereto. The notes to the unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements are presented on a continuing basis unless otherwise noted.
Summary
of Results
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements
and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue
Recognition
Prior
to March 25, 2019, the Company derived revenues solely from the sale of carbonated energy drinks and other related products.
Revenue is recognized when all of the following elements are satisfied: (i) there are no uncertainties regarding customer
acceptance; (ii) there is persuasive evidence that an agreement exists; (iii) delivery has occurred; (iv) legal title to the
products has transferred to the customer; (v) the sales price is fixed or determinable; and (vi) collectability is reasonably
assured. At this time the company is in a reorganization phase and has minimal to no revenue.
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial
instruments consist mainly of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, accrued expenses,
derivative liabilities, and loans payable. The carrying values of the financial instruments approximate their fair value due to
the short-term nature of these instruments. The fair values of the loans payable have interest rates that approximate market rates.
Derivative
Instruments
The Company does not enter into
derivative contracts for purposes of risk management or speculation. However, from time to time, the Company enters into contracts,
namely convertible notes payable, that are not considered derivative financial instruments in their entirety, but that include
embedded derivative features.
In accordance with Financial
Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC Topic 815-15, Embedded Derivatives, and guidance provided by the SEC
Staff, the Company accounts for these embedded features as a derivative liability or equity at fair value.
The recognition of the fair value
of the derivative instrument at the date of issuance is applied first to the debt proceeds. The excess fair value, if any, over
the proceeds from a debt instrument, is recognized immediately in the statement of operations as interest expense. The value of
derivatives associated with a debt instrument is recognized at inception as a discount to the debt instrument and amortized to
interest expense over the life of the debt instrument. A determination is made upon settlement, exchange, or modification of the
debt instruments to determine if a gain or loss on the extinguishment has been incurred based on the terms of the settlement, exchange,
or modification and on the value allocated to the debt instrument at such date.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly
liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents
are stated at cost and consist of bank deposits. The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value.
Accounts
Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The Company will bill its customers
after its products are shipped. The Company bases its allowance for doubtful accounts on estimates of the creditworthiness of customers,
analysis of delinquent accounts, payment histories of its customers and judgment with respect to the current economic conditions.
The Company generally does not require collateral. The Company believes the allowances are sufficient to cover uncollectible accounts.
The Company reviews its accounts receivable aging on a regular basis for past due accounts, and writes off any uncollectible amounts
against the allowance.
Inventory
No Inventory at present or for Fiscal year 2018
Inventory
is stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is principally determined by using the average cost method that approximates the
First-In, First-Out (FIFO) method of accounting for inventory. Inventory consists of raw materials as well as finished goods held
for sale. The Company’s management monitors the inventory for excess and obsolete items and makes necessary valuation adjustments
when required. The Company is in the process of pricing and ordering inventory.
Property
and Equipment
None
at present or for fiscal year 2018
Property and equipment is recorded
at cost less accumulated depreciation. Replacements, maintenance and repairs which do not improve or extend the lives of the respective
assets are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives
of the assets as follows:
Impairment
of Long-Lived Assets
None
at present or for fiscal year 2018
Long-lived
assets are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the book value of the assets may not be recoverable.
In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 360-10-35-15 Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,
recoverability is measured by comparing the book value of the asset to the future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be
generated by the asset.
No events or changes in circumstances
have been identified which would impact the recoverability of the Company’s long- lived assets reported at December 31, 2017
and 2018.
Liquidity, Capital Resources and Plan
of Operations
Financings and Securities
Offerings
DNA Brands, Inc., Equity Offerings
In February 2011, the Company
issued a convertible debenture to an existing shareholder in the amount of $500,000. The debenture bears interest at 12% per annum
and carries an annual transaction fee of $30,000, of which both are payable in quarterly installments commencing in May 2011. These
costs are recorded as interest expense in the Company's financial statements. In addition, as further inducement for loaning the
Company funds, the Company issued 125,000 restricted shares of its common stock to the holder upon execution. The common shares
were valued at $31,250, their fair market value, and recorded as discount to the debenture. These costs will be amortized using
the effective interest method over the term of the debenture and recorded as interest expense in the Company's financial statements.
In June 2011, the Company
issued a convertible debenture to an existing shareholder in the amount of $125,000. The debenture bears interest at 12% per annum,
which is payable in the Company’s common stock at the time of maturity. The debenture is convertible at any time prior to
maturity into 150,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. This beneficial conversion feature was valued at $90,750, using
Black-Scholes methodology, and recorded as a discount to the debenture. These costs will be amortized using the effective interest
method over the term of the debenture and recorded as interest expense in the Company's financial statements.
In July and August 2011, the Company issued a series
of secured convertible debentures to accredited investors aggregating $275,000 in gross proceeds. All proceeds from these debentures
are to be utilized solely for the purpose of funding raw materials and inventory purchases through the use of an escrow agent.
The debentures bear interest at 12% per annum, payable in monthly installments. The debentures are convertible at any time prior
to maturity at a conversion price equal to 80% of the average share price of the Company’s common stock for the 10 previous
trading days prior to conversion, but not less than $0.70. In addition, as further inducement for loaning the Company funds, the
Company issued the lenders 68,750 restricted shares of its common stock and 137,500 common stock warrants exercisable at $1.25
per share. As a result, the Company had to allocate fair market value to each the beneficial conversion feature, restricted shares
and warrants. The common shares were valued at $30,938, their fair market value. The Company determined the fair market value of
the warrants as $94,255 using the Black-Scholes valuation model. Since the combined fair market value allocated to the warrants
and beneficial conversion feature cannot exceed the convertible debenture amount, the beneficial conversion feature was valued
at $149,807, the ceiling of its intrinsic value. These costs will be amortized using the effective interest method over the term
of the debenture and recorded as interest expense in the Company's financial statements.
In February 2012, the Company
issued a convertible debenture to an existing shareholder in the amount of $75,000. The debenture bears interest at 12% per annum,
which is payable in the Company’s common stock at the time of maturity. The debenture is convertible at any time prior to
maturity into 280,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. As further inducement, the Company issued the lender 280,000
common stock warrants exercisable at $1.50 per share. If unexercised, the warrants will expire on January 31, 2017. Using the Black-Scholes
model, the warrants were valued at $63,620 and recorded as a discount to the principal amount of the debenture. This discount is
amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the debenture and recorded as interest expense in the Company's
financial statements.
In February and
June 2012, the Company converted $524,950 of its loans payable to officers into convertible debentures. These debentures were
offered by the Company’s officers to certain accredited investors and a majority portion of the proceeds therefrom were
deposited with the Company. The debentures had no maturity date and bear no interest. Therefore, these debentures were
payable on demand and were originally classified as a current liability. The debentures were convertible at any time into 3,499,667
shares, or $0.15 per share of common stock. The Company determined that these terms created a beneficial conversion feature. Using
the Black-Scholes model, the beneficial conversion feature was valued at $524,950, the ceiling of its intrinsic value. Due to
the nature of the debentures, the full value of the beneficial conversion feature was immediately recorded as interest expense
in the Company’s financial statements. In August 2012, these convertible debentures were converted into 3,499,666 shares
of the Company’s common stock.
On April 9,
2012, the Company executed an Investment Banking and Advisory Agreement with Charles Morgan Securities, Inc., New York, NY
(“CMI”), wherein CMI agreed to provide consulting, strategic business planning, financing on a “best
efforts” basis and investor and public relations services, as well as to assist the Company in its efforts to raise
capital through the issuance of debt or equity. The agreement provided for CMI to engage in two separate private offerings
with the initial private placement offering up to $3.0 million and the second private placement offering up to an additional
$3.0 million; each on a “best efforts” basis. In connection with this agreement the Company issued 750,000 shares
valued at $0.25 per share or a total value of $187,500. This amount was fully amortized in the Company's financial statements
as of December 31, 2012.
In July 2012, the Company
received proceeds from convertible debentures totaling $182,668 in connection with the CMI agreement. The debentures bear interest

Current Plan of Operations
Our plan
of operations is currently focused on the development of our Fleet business. We expect to incur substantial expenditures
in the foreseeable future for the potential operations of our business segments and ongoing internal research and development.
At this time, we cannot reliably estimate the nature, timing or aggregate amount of such costs. We intend to continue to build
our corporate and operational infrastructure and to build interest in our product and service offerings and as such are unable
to project those costs at this time.
As noted
above, the pivot to this plan of operations requires us to raise significant additional capital immediately. If we are successful
in raising capital through the sale of shares offered for sale in this Offering Circular we believe that the Company will have
sufficient cash resources to fund its plan of operations for the next twelve months.
We continually
evaluate our plan of operations discussed above to determine the manner in which we can most effectively utilize our limited cash
resources. The timing of completion of any aspect of our plan of operations is highly dependent upon the availability of cash to
implement that aspect of the plan and other factors beyond our control. There is no assurance that we will successfully obtain
the required capital or revenues, or, if obtained, that the amounts will be sufficient to fund our ongoing operations. The inability
to secure additional capital would have a material adverse effect on us, including the possibility that we would have to sell or
forego a portion or all of our assets or cease operations. If we discontinue our operations, we will not have sufficient funds
to pay any amounts to our stockholders.
Even if
we raise additional capital in the near future, if our operating business segments fail to achieve anticipated financial results,
our ability to raise additional capital in the future to fund our operating business segments would likely be seriously impaired.
If in the future we are not able to demonstrate favorable financial results or projections from our operating business segments,
we will not be able to raise the capital we need to continue our then current business operations and business activities, and
we will likely not have sufficient liquidity or cash resources to continue operating.
Because
our working capital requirements depend upon numerous factors there can be no assurance that our current cash resources will be
sufficient to fund our operations. At present, we have no committed external sources of capital, and do not expect any significant
product revenues for the foreseeable future. Thus, we will require immediate additional financing to fund future operations. There
can be no assurance, however, that we will be able to obtain funds on acceptable terms, if at all.
Credit Facilities
As of December
31, 2018, the Company had notes payable of $1,943,146 in convertible notes payable, other current liabilities of $482,848 and accounts
payable of $107,752. Other than the foregoing, and to vendors and service providers in the ordinary course of our business, we
do not have any other credit facilities or other access to bank credit.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company does not have any derivative financial
instrument or other off-balance sheet arrangements.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about
Market Risk
In the ordinary course of our
business, we are not exposed to market risk of the sort that may arise from changes in interest rates or foreign currency exchange
rates, or that may otherwise arise from transactions in derivatives.
Contingencies
Certain
conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company, but which
will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company's management, in consultation with its
legal counsel as appropriate, assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment.
In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or unasserted claims that may
result in such proceedings, the Company, in consultation with legal counsel, evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings
or unasserted claims, as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein. If the
assessment of a contingency indicates it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can
be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company's financial statements. If the assessment indicates
a potentially material loss contingency is not probable, but is reasonably possible, or is probable, but cannot be estimated,
then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss, if determinable and material,
would be disclosed. Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which
case the guarantees would be disclosed.
OUR
BUSINESS
Corporate History
DNA Brands, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as “us,”
“our,” “we,” the “Company” or “DNA”) was incorporated in the State of
Colorado on May 23, 2007 under the name Famous Products, Inc. Prior to July 6, 2010 we were a beverage company. We are looking
to reproduce, market and sell a proprietary line of five carbonated blends of DNA Energy Drink®, Citrus, Sugar Free Citrus,
Original (a unique combination of Red Bull® and Monster® energy drinks), Cryo- Berry (a refreshing mix of cranberry and
raspberry) and Molecular Melon (a cool and refreshing taste); as well as three milk based energy coffees with fortified with Omega

Our
business commenced in May 2006 in the State of Florida under the name Grass Roots Beverage Company, Inc. (“Grass Roots”).
Initial operations of Grass Roots included development of our energy drinks, sampling and other marketing efforts and initial
distribution in the State of Florida. In May 2006 we formed DNA Beverage Corporation, a Florida corporation (“DNA Beverage”).
Our early years were devoted to brand development, creating awareness through heavy sampling programs and creating credibility
among our then core demographic by concentrating marketing efforts on action sports locations and events (surf, motocross, skate,
etc.).

the common stock of DNA Beverage’s wholly owned subsidiary Grass Roots Beverage Company, Inc. (“Grass Roots”)

outstanding shares at the time of issuance. As a result of this transaction we also changed our name to “DNA Brands, Inc.”
Grass
Roots was dissolved and ceased activity on December 31, 2013. Whereby DNA Brands Inc. has been the surviving entity.

Offering Circular, the Company’s customer base is primarily ridesharing drivers located within Broward County that are operating
and performing driving services on behalf of a host of the private ridesharing TNCs (primarily Lyft and Uber). Per our agreement
with ridesharerental.com, our Fleet Management business is limited to the State of Florida. We are presently operating just in
Broward county, Florida, however the Company intends to aggressively expand our Fleet Management services and product offerings
to the entire state.
The
Company believes that customers will rent vehicles offered by our Fleet Management business in order to reduce the
complexity, cost and total capital associated with vehicle ownership. Further, we believe that due to our market focus on the
ridesharing industry and the additional imposition of the Ridesharing Qualification Requirements imposed on ridesharing
vehicles by the dominant private ridesharing TNCs, customers will be further incentivized to rent our Fleet Management
vehicles to guarantee compliance with the Ridesharing Qualification Requirements.
Under a
full-service rental agreement, the Company provides and fully maintains the vehicle, which is generally specifically configured
to meet the Ridesharing Qualification Requirements. The services provided under full-service rental and contract maintenance agreements
generally include preventive and regular maintenance, advanced diagnostics, emergency road service, fleet services, and safety
programs, through our company-operated facilities.
Fleet Management Software
The Company
has entered into an agreement with ridesharerental.com to use its Rideshare Platform for its Fleet Management business, which we
believe will ensure that the Company’s fleet of vehicles meet and comply with the Ridesharing Qualification Requirements
and transmit relevant data our customers, the Company has fit its Fleet Management vehicles with fleet management GPS solution
software, providing open platform fleet management solutions to businesses of all sizes. These full-featured solutions help the
Company manage their drivers and vehicles by extracting accurate and actionable intelligence from real-time and historical location
trip data. The telematics solutions for fleet optimization provide our Fleet Management vehicles with fitted software analytics
and data involving (i) fuel efficiency; (ii) management of vehicle maintenance and (iii) prevention of vehicle wear and tear.
The Ridesharing Industry
At the
most basic level, real-time ridesharing is a service that arranges one-time shared rides on short notice. Traditionally, ridesharing
arrangements between two or more unrelated individuals for commuting purposes have been relatively inflexible, long- term arrangements.
These commuting arrangements will establish reasonably fixed departure time schedules and driving responsibilities. The complexity
of work and social schedules and the perceived increase in vehicle trip complexity, such as trip chaining, has made this type of
commuting arrangement much less desirable. “Real-time” ridesharing attempts to provide added flexibility to
ridesharing arrangements by allowing drivers and passengers to partake in occasional shared rides. The internet- connected, global
positioning system (“GPS”) enabled device automatically detects your current location, takes the home location
that you have programmed in previously and searches the database for drivers traveling a similar route and willing to pick up passengers.
According to Wikipedia.org, “real-time” ridesharing is defined as “a single, or recurring ridesharing
trip with no fixed schedule, organized on a one-time basis, with matching of participants occurring as little as a few minutes
before departure or as far in advance as the evening before a trip is scheduled to take place”.
A number
of TNCs located in San Francisco premiered apps for real-time ridesharing in early 2010, several TNCs were introduced that were
advertising as ridesharing, but in fact dispatched commercial operators similar to a taxi service. Transportation industry experts
have frequently referred to these services as “ridesourcing” to clarify that drivers do not share a destination
with their passengers. Rather, the “ridesourcing” app simply outsources rides to available commercial drivers.
In 2013 an agreement was reached with California Public Utilities Commission creating a new category of service called “Transportation
Network Companies” or “TNCs” to cover both real-time and scheduled ridesharing companies. Transportation
Network Companies have faced regulatory opposition in many other cities, including Los Angeles, Chicago, New York City, and Washington,
D.C, among others.
“Ridesharing”
has been controversial, variously criticized as lacking adequate regulation, insurance, licensure, and training. One of the main
so-called ridesharing (but actually ridesourcing) firms, Uber, was banned in Berlin and a number of other European cities. Opposition
may also come from taxi companies and public transit operators because they are seen as alternatives. Early real- time ridesharing
projects are believed to have begun in the 1990s, but they faced obstacles such as the need to develop a user network and a convenient
means of communication. Gradually the means of arranging the ride shifted from telephone to internet, email, and smartphone; and
user networks were developed around major employers and universities. As of 2006, the goal of taxi-like responsiveness still generally
eluded the industry; “next day” responsiveness was generally considered the state of the art.
The
term “ridesharing” was starting to become a misnomer, they’re a lot more like successful private
cab or taxi businesses that cater to a smartphone-toting clientele and actively rival traditional cab or taxi companies and
having reliable and affordable door- to-door transportation in general can help expand car-free living. Given the fast rise
of smartphone adoption globally, ridesharing’s success doesn’t come as a surprise. But there are many reasons why
customers prefer to book those services versus taxis. Among those are a clear overview of pricing prior to booking, the ease
and convenience of “one-tap” rides, the ability to monitor and follow drivers on map displayed on the
user’s smartphone, the convenience of a cashless transaction, fare splitting, and feedback options. The premier and
probably most well know ridesharing service, Uber, was born when its founders became annoyed that they could not get a taxi
in Paris. By eliminating the antiquated taxi dispatch system through technology (call and book taxi, call to request
driver’s location, call when taxi doesn’t arrive), the founders of Uber created an innovative technology
alternative to the traditional taxi dispatch system that has been widely adopted by users worldwide. By eliminating a key
piece of the supply chain and streamlining efficiencies for the users, Uber was able to completely disrupt a century-old taxi
industry. In essence, Uber & Lyft are really the two companies that dominate the market and Uber so far has won across
the board: access, driver experience, customer experience, brand and funding.
The growth
of the ridesharing economy has resulted in increasing consumer demand for ridesharing services, provided by Transportation Network
Companies (“TNCs”) such as Lyft, Gett and Uber, that offer a ridesharing economy service through mobile applications.
Ridesharing
apps connect people who need a ride with people who have a vehicle and time to drive - notably, not necessarily people who are
licensed taxi drivers. Ridesharing TNCs like Lyft, Gett and Uber provide a smartphone app that lets consumers hail a ride, set
their destination, and pay without leaving the app itself. The benefits to the consumer is ease of use, availability of rides,
and sometimes lower prices than traditional taxis. Many companies require at least some sort of certification for the drivers and
take a portion of the drivers’ fares. Ridesharing drivers can choose when they work (though they can receive bonuses for
logging a certain number of hours) and provide their own vehicles. In the United States, ridesharing companies argue that the work-when-you-want
arrangement qualifies drivers as contractors, not employees. Despite legal battles and controversy over surge pricing, ridesharing
companies have exploded in popularity, both in the U.S. and internationally. Early entrants in the TNC app space, like Uber and
Flywheel, were founded around 2009. Overall, the industry has raised more than $10 billion in venture funding.
We believe that we have strong economic prospects by
virtue of the following dynamics of the industry:

Continued
Growth in Ridesharing Market. The ridesharing services market has grown faster,
gone to more places and has produced robust growth and consumer traffic figures since
commercial introduction in approximately 2009. The pace of growth is also picking up.
It has been reported that Uber took six (6) years before it reached a billion rides in
December of 2015, but it took only six (6) months for Uber to get to two billion rides.
In the U.S., the number of users of ridesharing services is estimated to increase from
8.2 million in 2014 to 20.4 million in 2020, producing a compounded annual growth rate
(“CAGR”) of approximately 13.92% over the seven-year period.
|
|
|
·
|
Globalization
of Ridesharing. In the same vein, ridesharing which started as an experiment
in California has grown into a global marketplace over a short period of time. Asia has
emerged as a geographical territory to drive future growth. For example, Didi Chuang,
the Chinese ridesharing company, completed 1.43 billion rides just in 2015 and it now
claims to have 250 million users in 360 Chinese cities. Ridesharing is also acquiring
deep roots in both India and Malaysia, and is making advances in Europe and Latin America,
despite regulatory pushback.
|
|
|
·
|
Expanding
Choices. Consumer options in ridesharing are expanding to attract an even larger
audience, such as carpooling and private bus services. The expansion of consumer options
has also attracted mass transit customers to more expensive luxury options. In addition,
it has been reported that dominant TNC businesses are experimenting with pre-scheduled
rides and multiple stops on single trip gain to meet customer needs. Our Fleet Management
business and fleet of rental vehicles are designed to put more certified ridesharing
vehicles on the roadways to meet the increasing consumer demand of the availability of
ridesharing services.
|
Regulation of the Ridesharing
Industry
In the
current ridesharing marketplace, often times the TNCs (such as Uber or Lyft) generally takes the place of government in enforcing
standards for drivers and vehicles, though two (2) states and the District of Columbia now have basic driver background and minimum
insurance requirements in place for TNCs. Each TNC has its own regulations at the corporate level. However, in many instances,
state, local or federal governments are beginning to seriously assess the ridesharing industry and it is likely that regulations
and mandated standards are imminent. For more information see section “Vehicle Registration Requirements.”
Our Opportunity
The increasing
demand for ridesharing services has produced an increase in demand by TNC businesses for more ridesharing drivers and vehicles
on the road at any given time. The growing demographic of ridesharing drivers, as determined on a global basis, has drawn ridesharing
drivers to the ridesharing marketing to perform services for a host of private TNC businesses focused on ridesharing, such as Uber
and Lyft. The Company believes that private ridesharing TNC businesses are hiring more than 50,000 drivers a month to keep pace
with the current commercial demand for ridesharing services.
Complicating
this matter further, many potential ridesharing drivers drawn to the ridesharing market are being rejected or turned away from
employment by the private ridesharing TNCs on account of the fact that many potential ridesharing driver’s personal vehicles
are failing to meet the Ridesharing Qualification Requirements imposed on all ridesharing vehicles by the private ridesharing
TNCs. Private ridesharing TNCs impose certain vehicle safety tests and precautions on all ridesharing vehicles to be utilized
by drivers under employment with the private ridesharing TNCs. Generally, the TNCs impose certain standard requirements on all
ridesharing drivers and their respective vehicles (the “Driver Qualification Requirements”) as well as additional
vehicle safety tests, inspections and precautions on all ridesharing vehicles to be utilized by drivers under employment with
the private ridesharing TNCs (the “Vehicle Qualification Requirements”, together with the Driver Qualification
Requirements, the “Ridesharing Qualification Requirements”). For more information, see “Ridesharing
Qualification Requirements”. The Company estimates that approximately 30%-50% of potential ridesharing drivers do not
own or have rights or access to a car or vehicle that will meet the Ridesharing Qualification Requirements. Further, the Company
believes that this issue surrounding the Ridesharing Qualifications Requirements are exacerbating the problem and resulting in
a shortfall of ridesharing drivers on the road at any given time. Private ridesharing TNCs have responded to this issue by actively
pursuing programs to get eligible ridesharing drivers into qualified cars that meet the Ridesharing Qualification Requirements.
The Company believes that the TNC line of business and immense capital requirements in developing a fleet management business
to service the growing ridesharing industry on such a large scale will restrict the ability of the private ridesharing TNCs to
dominate the ridesharing vehicle rental market. Further, despite the financial resources and scale of the dominant TNCs in the
ridesharing business, the Company believes that third-party vehicle rental providers are a necessity to the growth and service
of a robust ridesharing market.
Ridesharing Qualification Requirements
The TNCs
generally impose a host of requirements on potential ridesharing driver applicants seeking employment with TNCs such as Uber and/or
Lyft. For example, prior to becoming a ridesharing driver, Uber and Lyft impose similar uniform requirements on all ridesharing
vehicles and drivers. Generally, the ridesharing driver must meet the following standard requirements (collectively, the “Driver
Qualification Requirements”):
|
|
·
|
The ridesharing driver must obtain a minimum age of 21 years old;
|
|
|
·
|
The ridesharing driver’s vehicle must be a four-door car made in year 2007 or newer (in most cities- 2002 or newer for
Los Angeles, Orange County, San Francisco);
|
|
|
·
|
The ridesharing driver must have in-state auto insurance with the driver’s name on the policy;
|
|
|
·
|
The ridesharing driver must have an in-state driver’s license, licensed in the US for at least one year;
|
|
|
·
|
The ridesharing driver must have in-state plates with a current registration (commercial plates are acceptable as well);
|
|
|
·
|
The ridesharing driver must have a clean driving record;
|
|
|
·
|
The ridesharing driver must pass on the background check;
|
|
|
·
|
The ridesharing driver’s vehicle must pass the Cosmetic Qualification Requirements.
|
For example, prior to becoming
an Uber driver, the company requires all potential ridesharing drivers of UberX, UberXL and UberPlus/UberSelect to meet the following
vehicle requirements:
|
|
·
|
Access to a four-door car that is year 2007 or newer (in most cities- 2002 or newer for Los Angeles, Orange County, San Francisco);
|
|
|
·
|
The vehicle is in good physical condition with no cosmetic damage;
|
|
|
·
|
No marketing or commercial branding is being outwardly displayed on the vehicle;
|
|
|
·
|
Passing score on the vehicle inspection.
|
In
addition, the TNCs may impose cosmetic guidelines on all ridesharing vehicles providing ridesharing services on behalf of the
private ridesharing company. Certain cosmetic features may prevent a potential ridesharing driver’s vehicle from
qualifying under the vehicle inspection on account of the following: (i) the vehicle includes a full-body wrap containing
advertisements, or any large ads; (ii) the vehicle has holes or damage to the exterior; (iii) the vehicle has taxi decals or
taxi-style paint; (iv) the vehicle has significant damage to the interior (including any torn seats, large permanent stains,
strong permanent odors); (v) the vehicle has paint oxidation; or (vi) the vehicle has different colored hoods/doors; (vii)
the vehicle has objectionable aftermarket modification (collectively, “Cosmetic Qualification
Requirements”).
In addition
to the Driver Qualification Requirements, private ridesharing companies also require all potential ridesharing drivers to undergo
a vehicle inspection test on all personal driver vehicles to be used by the potential ridesharing driver to perform ridesharing
services on behalf of the private ridesharing company. In order to become a Uber or Lyft driver, a potential ridesharing driver’s
vehicle generally must pass the 19-point vehicle inspection to confirm that it meets the private ridesharing companies requirements
(the “Vehicle Qualification Requirements”, together with the Driver Qualification Requirements, the “Ridesharing
Qualification Requirements”).
A 19-point
inspection is a standard vehicle inspection procedure to check a car in 19 specific areas to ensure that it conforms to safety
and operational requirements. While the 19 points are the same for different companies, their procedures differ slightly. The process
also varies based on the geographical location where the inspection is performed. The 19 points of the vehicle checked for inspection
include headlights, tail-lights, indicator lights, stop lights, foot brakes, emergency/parking brake, steering mechanism, windshield,
heat and air conditioning, front, rear and side windows, front seat adjustment mechanism, door controls (open, close, lock), horn,
speedometer, body condition/ damage, muffler and exhaust system, condition or tires, interior and exterior rear-view mirrors and
safety belts for driver and passengers. Any vehicle having a problem or issue with any of the inspection points will generally
not pass the vehicle inspection and will be refused the opportunity to become a ridesharing driver for the private ridesharing
company.
Company Growth Strategy
Our long-term
strategy is focused on four priorities: expanding and diversifying our revenues; improving our operating effectiveness; enhancing
the customer experience; and disciplined capital management.
Expand
and Diversify Revenues—Our strategy to achieve ongoing growth is driven by initiatives that expand and diversify our
revenues through customer- and market-focused initiatives. We are actively working to expand our Fleet Management business, and
diversify our equipment rental fleet with a broader mix of vehicles to increase in the range of customer options and markets we
serve. In addition, we seek to grow our Fleet Management business which seeks to connect the owners and/or operators of standard
passenger vehicles to existing or prospective ridesharing drivers. We will continue to offer a comprehensive equipment rental
fleet to achieve market leadership. We plan to expand our footprint in Florida, with a focus on increasing the following:
(i) the number of major geographical markets in
the state served by our partner’s Rideshare Platform; (ii) the number of vehicles maintained and managed under the Company’s
Fleet Management business; and (iii) to continue to reconfigure existing locations with fleet and expertise tailored to local markets.
Our footprint expansion will include locations served under the Rideshare Platform and Fleet Management business to better support
our growing ridesharing rental business. We will continue to pursue initiatives that allow us to drive sales through our existing
locations and geographical territories.
Disciplined
Asset Management—We manage our vehicle rental fleet to optimize the timing of fleet rentals, repairs and maintenance,
while at the same time satisfying our customers' needs. Through continued use and development of our disciplined approach to efficient
fleet management, we seek to maximize our utilization and return on investment.
Litigation
From time
to time we become the subject of litigation that is incurred in the ordinary course of its business. However, to date, we have
not been made aware of any actual, pending or threatened litigation against the Company.
Property
We lease and maintain
our primary offices at 275 E. Commercial Blvd #301, Lauderdale by the Sea, FL 33308. We do not currently own any real estate.

Stock
There are no Series A shares outstanding.
The designation, preferences, limitations and relative rights
of the Series “A” Convertible Preferred Stock are as follows:
This series of Preferred

Preference on Liquidation
In the event of any liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the holders of Series “A” Convertible Preferred Shares then outstanding
shall be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders, whether from
capital, surplus or earnings, before any payment shall be made in respect of the Corporation’s Common Shares or junior stock,
an amount equal to twenty-five cents ($0.25) per share. If, upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the
assets of the Corporation available for the distribution to its shareholders shall be insufficient to pay the holders of the Series

which would be payable in respect of the shares held by them upon such distribution if all amounts payable on or with respect to
said shares were paid in full. After the holders of Series “A” Convertible Preferred Shares have received an amount
equal to twenty-five cents ($0.25) per share, the assets then remaining shall be distributed equally per share to the holders of
a subsequently issued junior class of Preferred Shares, or if none, then to the holders of Common Shares.
A reorganization, consolidation
or merger of the Corporation with or into any other corporation or corporations, or a sale of all or substantially all of the assets
of the Corporation, shall not be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation as those terms are used
in this subdivision (d) and, in the event of any such reorganization, consolidation, merger or sale of assets, the Series “A”
Convertible Preferred Shares shall be entitled only to the rights provided in the plan of reorganization.
Voting Rights
The Series “A” Convertible
Preferred Shares shall not have voting rights and shall not be entitled to notice of shareholders meetings or to vote upon the
election of directors or upon any other matter at any special meeting of shareholders.
Conversion of Series
“A” Convertible Preferred Stock Into Common Stock
Subject to the provisions
of this subdivision (f), the holder of record of any share or shares of Series “A” Convertible Preferred Stock shall
have the right, at his option, at any time commencing after July 1, 2011, to convert one (1) share of Series “A” Convertible
Preferred Stock into one fully paid and nonassessable share of Common Stock of the Company.
Any holder of a share
or shares of Series “A” Convertible Preferred Stock desiring to convert such Series “A” Convertible Preferred
Stock into Common Stock shall surrender the certificate or certificates representing the share or shares of Series “A”
Convertible Preferred Stock so to be converted, duly endorsed to the Company, or in blank, at the principal office of the Company,
and shall give written notice to the Company at said office that he elects to convert the same, and setting forth the name or names
(with the address or addresses) in which the shares of Common Stock are to be issued.
Conversion of Series
“A” Convertible Preferred Stock shall be subject to the following additional terms and provisions:
As promptly as practicable
after the surrender for conversion of any Series “A” Convertible Preferred Stock, the Company shall deliver or cause
to be delivered to the holder of such Series “A” Convertible Preferred Stock at the holder’s address as indicated
on the Company’s stock ledger (or such other place as may be designated by the holder), to or upon the written order of the
holder of such Series “A” Convertible Preferred Stock, certificates representing the shares of Common Stock issuable
upon such conversion, issued in such name or names as such holder may direct. Shares of the Series “A” Convertible
Preferred Stock shall be deemed to have been converted as of the close of business on the date of the surrender of the Series “A”
Convertible Preferred Stock for conversion, as provided above, and the rights of the holders of such Series “A” Convertible
Preferred Stock shall cease at such time, and the person or persons in whose name or names the certificates for such shares are
to be issued shall be treated for all purposes as having become the record holder or holders of such Common Stock at such time;
provided, however, that any such surrender on any date when the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed shall constitute
the person or persons in whose name or names the certificates for such shares are to be issued as the record holder or holders
thereof for all purposes at the close of business on the next succeeding day on which such stock transfer books are open.
In the event that the
Company shall at any time subdivide or combine in a greater or lesser number of shares the outstanding shares of Common Stock,
the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series “A” Convertible Preferred Stock shall be
proportionately increased in the case of subdivision or decreased in the case of a combination, effective in either case at the
close of business on the date when such subdivision or combination shall become effective.
In the event that the
Company shall be recapitalized, consolidated with or merged into any other corporation, or shall sell or convey to any other corporation
all or substantially all of its property as entirety, provision shall be made as part of the terms of such recapitalization, consolidation,
merger, sale or conveyance so that any holder of Series “A” Convertible Preferred Stock may thereafter receive in lieu
of the Common Stock otherwise issuable to him upon conversion of his Series “A” Convertible Preferred Stock, but at
the conversion ratio stated in this subdivision (e), the same kind and amount of securities or assets as may be distributable upon
such recapitalization, consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance, with respect to the Common Stock of the Company.
In the event that the
Company shall at any time pay to the holders of Common Stock a dividend in Common Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable
upon conversion of the Series “A” Convertible Preferred Stock shall be proportionately increased, effective at the
close of business on the record date for determination of the holders of Common Stock entitled to such dividend.
Such adjustments shall
be made successively if more than one event listed in subdivisions (e)(3)(B), (C) and (D) hereof shall occur.
No adjustment of the
conversion ratio shall be made by reason of the purchase, acquisition, redemption or retirement by the Company of any shares
of the Common Stock or any other class of the capital stock of the Company, except as provided in subdivision (e)(3)(B);
or
the issuance,
other than as provided in subdivisions (e)(3)(B) and (D), of any shares of Common Stock of the Company, or of any securities
convertible into shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company, or of any rights, warrants or options to
subscribe for or purchase shares of the Common Stock or other securities of the Company, or of any other securities of the
Company, provided that in the event the Company offers any of its securities, or any rights, warrants or options to subscribe
for or purchase any of its securities, to the holders of its Common Stock pursuant to any preemptive or preferential rights
granted to holders of Common Stock by the Articles of Incorporation of the Company, or pursuant to any similar rights that
may be granted to such holders of Common Stock by the Board of Directors of the Company, at least 20 days prior to the
expiration of any such offer the Company shall mail written notice of such offer to the holders of the Series “A”
Convertible Preferred Stock then of record; or any offer by the Company to redeem or acquire shares of its Common Stock by
paying or exchanging therefore stock of another corporation or the carrying out by the Company of the transactions
contemplated by such offer, provided that at least 20 days prior to the expiration of any such offer the Company shall mail
written notice of such offer to the holders of the Series “A” Convertible Preferred Stock then of record.
The Company shall at
all times reserve and keep available solely for the purpose of issue upon conversion of Series “A” Convertible Preferred
Stock, as herein provided, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall be issuable upon the conversion of all outstanding Series
“A” Convertible Preferred Stock.
The issuance of certificates
for shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Series “A” Convertible Preferred Stock shall be made without charge
for any tax in respect of such issuance. However, if any certificate is to be issued in a name other than that of the holder of
record of the Series “A” Convertible Preferred Stock so converted, the person or persons requesting the issuance thereof
shall pay to the Company the amount of any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in such issuance, or shall
establish to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid or is not due and payable.
Redemption.
The Series “A” Convertible Preferred Stock shall
not be redeemable at any time by the Company.
Series C Preferred Stock
There are no Series C shares outstanding.
The designation, preferences, limitations and relative rights
of the Series C Preferred Stock are as follows:
Designation and Amount.
The shares of such series shall be designed as "Series C Preferred Shares" (the "Series C Preferred Shares"),
and the number of shares constituting such series shall be 400,000. The number of shares constituting such series may, unless prohibited
by the Articles of Incorporation, be decreased by resolution of the Board of Directors; provided that no decrease shall
reduce the number of Series C Preferred Shares to a number less than the number of shares then outstanding plus the number of shares
issuable upon the exercise of outstanding options, rights or warrants or upon the conversion of any outstanding securities issued
by the Corporation convertible in Series C Preferred Shares.
Dividends and Distributions
The holders of Series
C Preferred Shares, in preference to the holders of Common Shares, shall be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the
Board of Directors out of funds legally available for the purpose, annual dividends payable in cash on the 31st day of December
in each year (each such date being referred to herein as a "Dividend Payment Dates"), commencing on December 31, 2013
at the rate of $0.01 per share per year.
Dividends which are not
declared will not accrue. Dividends not declared will not cumulate. Accrued but unpaid dividends shall not bear interest. Dividends
paid on the Series C Preferred Shares in an amount less than the total amount of such dividends at the time such dividends are
declared and become payable shall be allocated pro rata on a share-by-share basis among all such shares outstanding at that time.
The Board of Directors may fix a record date for the determination of holders of Series C Preferred Shares entitled to receive
payment of a dividend or distribution declared thereon, which record date shall be not more than thirty (30) days prior to the
date fixed for the payment thereof.
Voting Rights.
Each Series C Preferred Share will entitle the holder thereof to 300 votes on all matters submitted to a vote of the shareholders
of the Corporation. Except as otherwise provided herein or in any other Certificate of Designation creating a series of Preferred
Shares or by law, the holders of Series C Preferred Shares and the holders of Common Shares and any other capital shares of the
Corporation having general voting rights shall vote together as one class on all matters submitted to a vote of the shareholders
of the Corporation.
Certain Restrictions
Whenever dividends declared or other distributions payable on the Series C Preferred Shares as provided in Section 2 hereof
are in arrears, thereafter and until all unpaid dividends and distributions on Series C Preferred Shares outstanding shall have
been paid in full, the Corporation shall not:
declare or pay dividends,
or make any other distributions, on any shares of stock ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution
or winding up) to the Series C Preferred Shares;
declare or pay dividends,
or make any other distributions, on any shares of stock ranking on a parity (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution
or winding up) with the Series C Preferred Shares, except dividends paid ratably on the Series C Preferred Shares and all such
parity stock on which dividends are payable or in arrears in proportion to the total amounts to which the holders of all such shares
are then entitled;
The Corporation shall
not permit any subsidiary of the Corporation to purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any shares of stock of the Corporation
unless the Corporation could, under subparagraph (i) of this Section 4, purchase or otherwise acquire such shares at such time
and in such manner.
Reacquired Shares.
Any Series C Preferred Shares purchased or otherwise acquired by the Corporation in any manner whatsoever shall constitute authorized
but unissued Preferred Shares and may be reissued as part of a new series of Preferred Shares by resolution or resolutions of the
Board of Directors, subject to the conditions and restrictions on issuance set forth herein, in the Articles of Incorporation,
or in any other Certificate of Designation creating a series of Preferred Shares or as otherwise required by law.
Liquidation, Dissolution
or Winding Up. Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, no distribution shall be made to the holders
of shares of stock ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) to the Series C Preferred
Shares unless, prior thereto, the holders of Series C Preferred Shares shall have received $0.67 per share, plus an amount equal
to declared and unpaid dividends and distributions thereon to the date of such payment.
Consolidation, Merger,
Exchange, etc.. In case the Corporation shall enter into any consolidation, merger, combination, statutory share exchange or
other transaction in which the Common Shares are exchanged for or changed into other stock or securities, money and/or any other
property, then in any such case the Series C Preferred Shares shall at the same time be similarly exchanged or changed into an
amount per share equal to the aggregate amount of stock, securities, money and/or any other property (payable in kind), as the
case may be, into which or for which each Common Share is changed or exchanged. In the event the Corporation shall at any time
after May 3, 2013 declare or pay any dividend on Common Shares payable in Common Shares, or effect a subdivision or combination
or consolidation of the outstanding Common Shares (by reclassification or otherwise) into a greater or lesser number of Common
Shares, then in each such case the amount set forth in the preceding sentence with respect to the exchange or change of Series
C Preferred Shares shall be adjusted by multiplying such amount by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Common Shares
outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which is the number of Common Shares that were outstanding immediately
prior to such event.

into classes having staggered terms of office, for so long as the holders of the Series G Preferred Stock are entitled to elect
or remove directors there shall be but one class of directors, each of whom shall be elected to serve, subject to paragraph 4.3.l, only until the next annual meeting of stockholders of the Corporation, and until their successors are elected and qualified.
Any vacancy created by the resignation or death of any director elected by the holders of the Series G Preferred Stock may be filled
by only an appointment made by a majority of the remaining directors then elected by the holders of the Series G Preferred Stock,
and each director so appointed shall serve, subject to paragraph 4.3.I, until the next annual meeting of stockholders of the Corporation
and until his successor is elected and qualified. Any director or directors elected by the holders of the Series G Preferred Stock
or designated to fill a vacancy or vacancies, as provided in this paragraph 4.1, may be removed from office only by vote of the
holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Series G Preferred Stock at a special meeting of such holders caused for
the purpose of removing such director or directors, all as provided in paragraph 4.3. Any vacancy created by the removal of any
such director shall be filed by the holders of the Series G Preferred Stock at the meeting at which such removal was voted pursuant
to paragraph 4.3 or at any adjournment thereof.
(1) Divestiture
of Voting Rights. If the holders of the outstanding Series G Preferred Stock have become entitled to vote to elect or remove directors
pursuant to paragraph 4.1, then, upon the curing in full of all Preferred Stock Defaults at the time existing, the holders of
the Series G Preferred Stock shall be divested of their rights with respect to the election or removal of directors provided in
paragraph 4.1, without prejudice to any subsequent re-vesting of such rights in the holders of the Series G Preferred Stock in
accordance with the terms of paragraph 4.1 if there shall thereafter occur any Preferred Stock Default. Upon any such divesting
of such voting rights of the holders of Series G Preferred Stock, the terms of office of all persons who may have been elected
directors of the Corporation by vote of the holders of the Series G Preferred Stock (or pursuant to the fourth sentence of paragraph
4.3) shall terminate forthwith and the vacancies thereby created shall be filled in the manner provided by law or in the By-Laws
of the Corporation.
SECTION 5. Preferred Restrictions. The Corporation will not
take any action forbidden by this paragraph without the prior consent (in addition to any other vote or consent required by law)
of the holders of the outstanding shares of Series G Preferred Stock (or such higher percentage as may be required by law or by
specific provisions of this Certificate of Incorporation), voting as a class in person or by proxy given in writing or at a special
meeting called for the purpose.
SECTION 6. CONVERSION RIGHTS.
6.1 Redemption
and Conversion of Series G Preferred Stock into Common Stock. The Corporation will redeem the holders of the Series G Preferred
Stock based upon One Dollar of value every Twelve (12) months until the entire value of Four Dollars ($4.00) plus interest is
paid off as defined in section 6.2. The Corporation will redeem
Twenty Five Cents ($0.25) approximately every 90 days or a maximum of One Dollar ($1.00) within a twelve month period of time.
The Corporation will issue common shares for the redemption based upon outstanding principal of their holdings of the Series G
Preferred Stock and any Dividends accrued, but not yet paid, into fully-paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock at Five
Percent (5%) discount to the average "Fair Market Value" (the "Conversion Rate") but not to exceed 95 Cents
($0.95) per share. However, should the Corporation effect a forward split, the ceiling price of $.95 Cents ($0.95) per share shall
be discounted down according to the split ratio and notwithstanding, the ceiling price shall be negotiable at the Holder of the
Series G Preferred Stock request. [n no case shall the conversion price be less than One Cent ($0.01). "Fair Market Value"
on a date shall be the average of the daily closing bid prices for the Five (5) consecutive trading days before such date excluding
any trades which are not bona fide arm's length transactions. The closing price for each day shall be (a) if such security is
listed or admitted for trading on any national securities exchange, the last sale price of such security, regular way, or the
mean of the closing bid and asked prices thereof if no such sale occurred, in each case as officially reported on the principal
securities exchange on which such security are listed, or (b) if quoted on NASDAQ or any similar system of automated dissemination
of quotations of securities prices then in common use the mean between the closing high bid and low asked quotations of such security
in the over-the-counter market as shown by NASDAQ or such similar system of automated dissemination of quotations of securities
prices, as reported by any member firm of the New York Stock Exchange selected by the Holder of the Series G Preferred Stock,
(c) if not quoted as described in clause (b), the mean between the high bid and low asked quotations for the shares as reported
by NASDAQ or any similar successor organization, as reported by any member firm of the New York Stock Exchange selected by the
Holder of the Series G Preferred Stock. If such security is quoted on a national securities or central market system in lieu of
a market or quotation system described above, the closing price shall be determined in the manner set forth in clause (a) of the
preceding sentence if bid and asked quotations are reported but actual transactions are not, and in the manner set forth in clause
(b) of the preceding sentence if actual transactions are reported.
Series H Convertible Preferred Stock
The designation, preferences, limitations and relative rights
of the Series H Convertible Preferred Stock are as follows:
Designation and Number
of Series
This series of Preferred Stock shall be designated as “Series
H Convertible Preferred Stock” and the number of shares of such series shall be 1,000,000,000 shares.
Stated Value
The stated value of the Series H Preferred Stock shall be $0.001
per share.
Dividends
The holders of outstanding Series H Preferred Shares shall not
be entitled to receive any dividends.
Preference on Liquidation
In the event of any liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the holders of Series H Convertible Preferred Shares then outstanding shall be entitled
to be paid out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders, whether from capital, surplus or
earnings, after any payment shall be made in respect of the liquidation preference on the Series F Preferred Stock, but before
any payment shall be made in respect of the Corporation’s Common Shares or junior stock, an amount equal to $0.10 per share.
If, upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the assets of the Corporation available for the distribution
to its shareholders shall be insufficient to pay the holders of the Series H Convertible Preferred Shares an amount equal to $0.10
per share, the holders of the Series H Convertible Preferred Shares shall share ratably in any distribution of assets according
to the respective amounts which would be payable in respect of the shares held by them upon such distribution if all amounts payable
on or with respect to said shares were paid in full. After the holders of any outstanding series of Preferred Shares having preference,
including the holders of the Series H Convertible Preferred Shares, have received their respective preference amount, the assets
then remaining shall be distributed equally per share to the holders of a subsequently issued junior class of Preferred Shares,
or if none, then to the holders of Common Shares.
A reorganization, consolidation
or merger of the Corporation with or into any other corporation or corporations, or a sale of all or substantially all of the assets
of the Corporation, shall not be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation as those terms are used
in this subdivision (d) and, in the event of any such reorganization, consolidation, merger or sale of assets, the Series H Convertible
Preferred Shares shall be entitled only to the rights provided in the plan of reorganization.
Voting Rights
The Series H Convertible Preferred Shares
shall not have voting rights and shall not be entitled to notice of shareholders’ meetings or to vote upon the election of
directors or upon any other matter at any special meeting of shareholders.
Conversion of Series
H Convertible Preferred Stock Into Common Stock
Subject to the provisions
of this subdivision (f), the holder of record of any share or shares of Series H Convertible Preferred Stock shall have the right,
at his/her/its option, at any time commencing after issuance of such Series H Convertible Preferred Stock, to convert one (1) share
of Series H Convertible Preferred Stock into five (5) fully paid and nonassessable share of Common Stock of the Company.
Any holder of a share
or shares of Series H Convertible Preferred Stock desiring to convert such Series H Convertible Preferred Stock into Common Stock
shall surrender the certificate or certificates representing the share or shares of Series H Convertible Preferred Stock so to
be converted, duly endorsed to the Company, or in blank, at the principal office of the Company, and shall give written notice
to the Company at said office that he/she/it elects to convert the same, and setting forth the name or names (with the address
or addresses) in which the shares of Common Stock are to be issued.
Conversion of Series
H Convertible Preferred Stock shall be subject to the following additional terms and provisions:
As promptly as practicable
after the surrender for conversion of any Series H Convertible Preferred Stock, the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered
to the holder of such Series H Convertible Preferred Stock at the holder’s address as indicated on the Company’s stock
ledger (or such other place as may be designated by the holder), to or upon the written order of the holder of such Series H Convertible
Preferred Stock, certificates representing the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, issued in such name or names
as such holder may direct.
Shares of the Series H Convertible Preferred
Stock shall be deemed to have been converted as of the close of business on the date of the surrender of the Series H Convertible
Preferred Stock for conversion, as provided above, and the rights of the holders of such Series H Convertible Preferred Stock shall
cease at such time, and the person or persons in whose name or names the certificates for such shares are to be issued shall be
treated for all purposes as having become the record holder or holders of such Common Stock at such time; provided, however, that
any such surrender on any date when the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed shall constitute the person or persons
in whose name or names the certificates for such shares are to be issued as the record holder or holders thereof for all purposes
at the close of business on the next succeeding day on which such stock transfer books are open.
In the event that the
Company shall at any time subdivide or combine in a greater or lesser number of shares the outstanding shares of Common Stock,
the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series H Convertible Preferred Stock shall be proportionately
increased in the case of subdivision or decreased in the case of a combination, effective in either case at the close of business
on the date when such subdivision or combination shall become effective.
In the event that the
Company shall be recapitalized, consolidated with or merged into any other corporation, or shall sell or convey to any other corporation
all or substantially all of its property as entirety, provision shall be made as part of the terms of such recapitalization, consolidation,
merger, sale or conveyance so that any holder of Series H Convertible Preferred Stock may thereafter receive in lieu of the Common
Stock otherwise issuable to him upon conversion of his Series H Convertible Preferred Stock, but at the conversion ratio stated
in this subdivision (e), the same kind and amount of securities or assets as may be distributable upon such recapitalization, consolidation,
merger, sale or conveyance, with respect to the Common Stock of the Company.
In the event that the
Company shall at any time pay to the holders of Common Stock a dividend in Common Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable
upon conversion of the Series H Convertible Preferred Stock shall be proportionately increased, effective at the close of business
on the record date for determination of the holders of Common Stock entitled to such dividend.
Such adjustments shall
be made successively if more than one event listed in subdivisions (e)(3)(B), (C) and (D) hereof shall occur.
No adjustment of the conversion
ratio shall be made by reason of the purchase, acquisition, redemption or retirement by the Company of any shares of the Common
Stock or any other class of the capital stock of the Company, except as provided in subdivision (e)(3)(B); or the issuance, other
than as provided in subdivisions (e)(3)(B) and (D), of any shares of Common Stock of the Company, or of any securities convertible
into shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Company, or of any rights, warrants or options to subscribe for or purchase
shares of the Common Stock or other securities of the Company, or of any other securities of the Company, provided that in the
event the Company offers any of its securities, or any rights, warrants or options to subscribe for or purchase any of its securities,
to the holders of its Common Stock pursuant to any preemptive or preferential rights granted to holders of Common Stock by the
Articles of Incorporation of the Company, or pursuant to any similar rights that may be granted to such holders of Common Stock
by the Board of Directors of the Company, at least 20 days prior to the expiration of any such offer the Company shall mail written
notice of such offer to the holders of the Series H Convertible Preferred Stock then of record; or any offer by the Company to
redeem or acquire shares of its Common Stock by paying or exchanging therefore stock of another corporation or the carrying out
by the Company of the transactions contemplated by such offer, provided that at least 20 days prior to the expiration of any such
offer the Company shall mail written notice of such offer to the holders of the Series H Convertible Preferred Stock then of record.
The Company shall at
all times reserve and keep available solely for the purpose of issue upon conversion of Series H Convertible Preferred Stock, as
herein provided, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall be issuable upon the conversion of all outstanding Series H Convertible
Preferred Stock.
The issuance of certificates
for shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Series H Convertible Preferred Stock shall be made without charge for any tax
in respect of such issuance. However, if any certificate is to be issued in a name other than that of the holder of record of the
Series H Convertible Preferred Stock so converted, the person or persons requesting the issuance thereof shall pay to the Company
the amount of any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in such issuance, or shall establish to the satisfaction
of the Company that such tax has been paid or is not due and payable.
Redemption.
The Board of Directors, at its discretion, shall be authorized to redeem any and all shares of Series H Convertible Preferred
Stock at any time. The Board of Directors shall be entitled to redeem any and all shares of Series H Convertible Preferred Stock
by delivering to the holders of Series H Convertible Preferred Stock a notice of redemption, and from and after the date of giving
such notice (the “Redemption Date”), the shares called for redemption (each, a “Redeemed Share”) shall
cease to be outstanding, shall not be transferred on the books of the Corporation, and the holder thereof shall cease to be entitled
to all rights with respect to each Redeemed Share, excepting only the right to receive payment by the Corporation of the redemption
price for such shares as set forth below. The redemption price for each Redeemed Share shall be ten cents ($0.10) per share (the
“Redemption Price”). The Redemption Price for each Redeemed Share shall be payable to the holder thereof in cash after
the holder has surrendered the Redeemed Share to the Corporation for redemption.
Transfer Agent and Registrar
The transfer agent and registrar for our Common Stock is Corporate Stock Transfer, Inc., 3200 Cherry Creek Drive South, Suite
430, Denver, CO 80209, telephone 303-282-4800, www.corporatestock.com. The transfer agent is
registered under the Exchange Act and operates under the regulatory authority of the SEC and FINRA.
Penny Stock Regulation
The SEC
has adopted regulations which generally define “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price
of less than Five Dollars ($5.00) per share or an exercise price of less than Five Dollars ($5.00) per share. Such securities are
subject to rules that impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell them. For transactions covered by
these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser of such securities and have received
the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to the purchase. Additionally, for any transaction involving a penny
stock, unless exempt, the rules require the delivery, prior to the transaction, of a disclosure schedule prepared by the SEC relating
to the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered
representative, current quotations for the securities and, if the broker-dealer is the sole market-maker, the broker-dealer must
disclose this fact and the broker- dealer’s presumed control over the market. Finally, among other requirements, monthly
statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited
market in penny stocks. As our Common Stock immediately following this Offering may be subject to such penny stock rules, purchasers
in this Offering will in all likelihood find it more difficult to sell their Common Stock shares in the secondary market.
DIVIDEND POLICY
We plan
to retain any earnings for the foreseeable future for our operations. We have never paid any dividends on our Common Stock and
do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Any future determination to pay cash dividends will be at
the discretion of our Board and will depend on our financial condition, operating results, capital requirements and such other
factors as our Board deems relevant.
SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE
SALE
Before
this Offering, there has not been a public market for shares of our Common Stock. Future sales of substantial amounts of shares
of our Common Stock, including shares issued upon the exercise of outstanding options and warrants, in the public market after
this Offering, or the possibility of these sales occurring, could cause the prevailing market price for our Common Stock to fall
or impair our ability to raise equity capital in the future.
After this Offering,
we will have outstanding 20,119,935 shares of our Common Stock, assuming that all 15,625,000 shares are sold in the Offering and
no exercise of outstanding options or warrants. The shares that we are selling in this Offering may be resold in the public market
immediately following our initial public offering.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The shares
are being offered by us on a “best-efforts” basis by our officers, directors and employees, with the assistance
of independent consultants, and possibly through registered broker-dealers who are members of the Financial Industry Regulatory
Authority (“FINRA”) and finders.
There is
no aggregate minimum to be raised in order for the Offering to become effective and therefore the Offering will be conducted on
a “rolling basis.” This means we will be entitled to begin applying “dollar one” of the proceeds
from the Offering towards our business strategy, offering expenses, reimbursements, and other uses as more specifically set forth
in the “Use of Proceeds” contained elsewhere in this Offering Circular.
We
may pay selling commissions to participating broker-dealers who are members of FINRA for shares sold by them, equal to a
percentage of the purchase price of the Common Stock shares. We may pay finder’s fees to persons who refer investors to
us. We may also pay consulting fees to consultants who assist us with the Offering, based on invoices submitted by them for
advisory services rendered. Consulting compensation, finder’s fees and brokerage commissions may be paid in cash,
Common Stock or warrants to purchase our Common Stock. We may also issue shares and grant stock options or warrants to
purchase our common stock to broker- dealers for sales of shares attributable to them, and to finders and consultants, and
reimburse them for due diligence and marketing costs on an accountable or non-accountable basis. We have not entered into
selling agreements with any broker-dealers to date, though we may engage a FINRA registered broker-dealer firm for offering
administrative services. Participating broker-dealers, if any, and others may be indemnified by us with respect to this
offering and the disclosures made in this Offering Circular.
We
expect to commence the offer and sale of the Shares as of the date on which the Form 1-A Offering Statement of which this
Offering Circular is a part (the “Offering Circular”) is qualified by the U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission (which we refer to as the “SEC” or the “Commission”).
Our Offering will expire
on the first to occur of (a) the sale of all 15,625,000 shares of Common Stock offered hereby, (b) February 15, 2020, subject to
extension for up to one hundred-eighty (180) days in the sole discretion of the Company, or (c) when our board of directors elects
to terminate the Offering.
Offering Period and Expiration
Date
This
Offering will start on or immediately prior to the date on which the SEC initially qualifies this Offering Statement (the “Qualification
Date”) and will terminate on the Termination Date.
Procedures for Subscribing
If you decide to subscribe for
our Common Stock shares in this Offering, you should:
|
|
|
1. Electronically receive, review, execute and deliver
to us a subscription agreement; and
|
|
|
|
2. Deliver funds directly by wire or electronic funds transfer
via ACH to the Company’s bank account designated in the Company’s subscription agreement.
|
Any potential
investor will have ample time to review the subscription agreement, along with their counsel, prior to making any final investment
decision. We shall only deliver such subscription agreement upon request after a potential investor has had ample opportunity to
review this Offering Circular.
Right to Reject Subscriptions.
After we receive your complete, executed subscription agreement and the funds required under the subscription agreement have been
transferred to our designated account, we have the right to review and accept or reject your subscription in whole or in part,
for any reason or for no reason. We will return all monies from rejected subscriptions immediately to you, without interest or
deduction.
Acceptance of Subscriptions.
Upon our acceptance of a subscription agreement, we will countersign the subscription agreement and issue the shares subscribed
at closing. Once you submit the subscription agreement and it is accepted, you may not revoke or change your subscription or request
your subscription funds. All accepted subscription agreements are irrevocable.
Under Rule
251 of Regulation A, non-accredited, non-natural investors are subject to the investment limitation and may only invest funds which
do not exceed Ten Percent (10%) of the greater of the purchaser's revenue or net assets (as of the purchaser's most recent fiscal
year end). A non-accredited, natural person may only invest funds which do not exceed Ten Percent (10%) of the greater of the purchaser's
annual income or net worth (please see below on how to calculate your net worth).
NOTE:
For the purposes of calculating your net worth, it is defined as the difference between total assets and total liabilities.
This calculation must exclude the value of your primary residence and may exclude any indebtedness secured by your primary
residence (up to an amount equal to the value of your primary residence). In the case of fiduciary accounts, net worth and/or
income suitability requirements may be satisfied by the beneficiary of the account or by the fiduciary if the fiduciary
directly or indirectly provides funds for the purchase of the Shares.
In order
to purchase our Common Stock shares and prior to the acceptance of any funds from an investor, an investor will be required to
represent, to the Company’s satisfaction, that he is either an accredited investor or is in compliance with the Ten Percent
(10%) of net worth or annual income limitation on investment in this Offering.
LEGAL MATTERS
Certain legal matters
with respect to the shares of Common Stock offered hereby will be passed upon by Milan Saha, Esq., of Plattsburgh, New York.
EXPERTS
The
financial statements of the Company appearing elsewhere in this Offering Circular have been included herein in reliance upon the
report of Wendell Hacker, an independent certified public accounting firm, appearing elsewhere herein, and upon the authority
of that firm as experts in accounting and auditing.

Company Overview and History
DNA Brands, Inc. (hereinafter referred
to as ''us," "our," ''we," the "Company" or "DNA") was incorporated in the State of
Colorado on May 23, 2007 under the name Famous Products, Inc. Prior to July 6, 2010 we were a beverage company. We are looking
to reproduce, market and sell a proprietary line of five carbonated blends of DNA Energy Drink®, Citrus, Sugar Free Citrus,
Original (a unique combination of Red Bull® and Monster® energy drinks), Cryo- Berry (a refreshing mix of cranberry and
raspberry) and Molecular Melon (a cool and refreshing taste); as well as three milk based energy coffees with fortified with Omega
3. These flavors are Mocha, Vanilla Latte and Caramel Macchiato.
Our business commenced in May 2006 in
the State of Florida under the name Grass Roots Beverage Company, Inc. ("Grass Roots"). Initial operations of Grass
Roots included development of our energy drinks, sampling and other marketing efforts and initial distribution in the State of
Florida. In May 2006 we formed DNA Beverage Corporation, a Florida corporation ("DNA Beverage"). Our early years were
devoted to brand development, creating awareness through heavy sampling programs and creating credibility among our then core
demographic by concentrating marketing efforts on action sports locations and events (surf, motocross, skate, etc.).
Effective July 6, 2010, we executed agreements
to acquire all of the assets, liabilities and contract rights of DNA Beverage and 100% of the common stock of DNA Beverage's wholly
owned subsidiary Grass Roots Beverage Company, Inc. ("Grass Roots") in exchange for the issuance of 31,250,000 shares
of our common stock. The share issuance represented approximately 94.6% of our outstanding shares at the time of issuance. As
a result of this transaction we also changed our name to "DNA Brands, Inc." Grass Roots was dissolved and ceased activity
on December 31, 2013. Whereby DNA Brands Inc. has been the surviving entity.
Effective on or about March 15, 2019 the company signed
a Fleet agreement with Ridesharerental.com to acquire and rent cars to Transportation Network Providers (TNP's), such as Uber
and Lyft. This is the core focus of the business at this time.

Notes
to Financial Statements (Continued)

(Unaudited)
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial
statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition
The Company derives revenues from
the sale of carbonated energy drinks and other related products. Revenue is recognized when all of the following elements are
satisfied: (i) there are no uncertainties regarding customer acceptance; (ii) there is persuasive evidence that an agreement
exists; (iii) delivery has occurred; (iv) legal title to the products has transferred to the customer; (v) the sales price is
fixed or determinable; and (vi) collectability is reasonably assured. At this time the company is in a reorganization
phase and has minimal revenue.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company's financial instruments consist mainly of cash and
cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, accrued expenses, derivative liabilities, and loans
payable. The carrying values of the financial instruments approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
The fair values of the loans payable have interest rates that approximate market rates.
Derivative Instruments
The Company does not enter into
derivative contracts for purposes of risk management or speculation. However, from time to time, the Company enters into
contracts, namely convertible notes payable, that are not considered derivative financial instruments in their entirety, but
that include embedded derivative features.
In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")
ASC Topic 815-15, Embedded Derivatives, and guidance provided by the SEC Staff, the Company accounts for these embedded features
as a derivative liability or equity at fair value.
The recognition of the fair value of
the derivative instrument at the date of issuance is applied first to the debt proceeds. The excess fair value, if any, over
the proceeds from a debt instrument, is recognized immediately in the statement of operations as interest expense. The value
of derivatives associated with a debt instrument is recognized at inception as a discount to the debt instrument and
amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt instrument. A determination is made upon settlement, exchange, or
modification of the debt instruments to determine if a gain or loss on the extinguishment has been incurred based on the
terms of the settlement, exchange, or modification and on the value allocated to the debt instrument at such date.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity
of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are stated at cost and consist
of bank deposits. The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The Company will bill its customers after its products are shipped.
The Company bases its allowance for doubtful accounts on estimates of the creditworthiness of customers, analysis of delinquent
accounts, payment histories of its customers and judgment with respect to the current economic conditions. The Company generally
does not require collateral. The Company believes the allowances are sufficient to cover uncollectible accounts. The Company reviews
its accounts receivable aging on a regular basis for past due accounts, and writes off any uncollectible amounts against the allowance.
Inventory
No Inventory at present or for Fiscal year 2019
Inventory is stated at the lower of
cost or market. Cost is principally determined by using the average cost method that approximates the First-In, First-Out
(FIFO) method of accounting for inventory. Inventory consists of raw materials as well as finished goods held for sale. The
Company's management monitors the inventory for excess and obsolete items and makes necessary valuation adjustments when
required. The Company is in the process of pricing and ordering Inventory.
Property and Equipment
Company owns a fleet of cars. that it rents out
Property and equipment is recorded at cost less accumulated
depreciation. Replacements, maintenance and repairs which do not improve or extend the lives of the respective assets are charged
to expense as incurred. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as
follows:
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
None at present or for fiscal year 2019
Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment
when events or changes in circumstances indicate the book value of the assets may not be recoverable. In accordance with Accounting
Standards Codification ("ASC") 360-10-35-15 Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, recoverability is measured
by comparing the book value of the asset to the future net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset.

Stock-Based Compensation for fiscal year
2017-2019
On or about October 18th 2017, the company issued 1,533,200,000
shares of common stock to Consultant Howard Ullman.
On November 5, 2018, Company issued 500,000 shares to Adrian McKenzie DBA PBDC
LLC.
2/19/19 - Heidi Michitsch- 600K shares issued
2/19/19 - Howard ullman - 500K Shares issued
2/19/19 - PBDC LLC (Adrian
McKenzie) 1 Million shares issued
4/16/19 - Adrian McKenzie-80 Million shares
Stock compensation arrangements with non-employee
service providers are accounted for in accordance with ASC 505-50 Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees, using a fair
value approach. The compensation costs of these arrangements are subject to re-measurement over the vesting terms as earned.
Stock Purchase Warrants
All Prior Warrants issued have expired worthless as of
Dec 31, 2016
Going Concern
As reflected in the accompanying financial
statements, the Company has recorded continual significant net losses Annually for the trailing 5 years. These matters raise a
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
The ability of the Company to continue as a going
concern is dependent on management's plans, which includes implementation of its business plan and continuing to raise funds through
debt or equity raises. The Company will likely continue to rely upon related-party debt or equity financing in order to ensure
the continuing existence of the business. Additionally the Company is working on generating new sales from additional retail outlets,
distribution centers or through sponsorship agreements; and allocating sufficient resources to continue with advertising and marketing
efforts.
6. Prepaid Expenses and Other Assets
None
8. Accrued Liabilities
There is $1,997,646 long term debt as of September 30, 2019.
9. Loans payable
The composition of loans payable up to September 30,
2019 are as follows:
In June 2013, the Company entered into
a loan agreement with Beverage LLC and received gross proceeds of $265,000. In accordance with ACS 810- 10-55, the Company considered
its relationship with, and the terms of its interest in, Beverage LLC and determined that it was a VIE that should be consolidated
into its financial statements. The Company's involvement with Beverage LLC is that it serves as an entity to obtain inventory
financing for DNA.

September

(Unaudited)
As of December 31, 2013 and December
2012 the amounts included in the consolidated liabilities, which are reported in loans payable (before discount) total
$530,000 and $-0- respectively, relating to Beverage LLC. The loans payable bear interest at a rate of 6% per annum and are
scheduled to be repaid to the lenders in equal installments of 66.67% of the original principal on September 30, 2013,
December 31, 2013 and March 31, 2014. The aggregate value of the repayment installments totals $530,000 plus interest and
penalties. September and December installment payments were not made. The loan is in default and the default interest rate of
10% per annum.
Convertible Note Debentures
In February 2011, the Company issued a
convertible debenture to an existing shareholder in the amount of $500,000. The debenture bears interest at 12% per annum and
carries an annual transaction fee of $30,000, of which both are payable in quarterly installments commencing in May 2011. These
costs are recorded as interest expense in the Company's financial statements. In addition, as further inducement for loaning the
Company funds, the Company issued 125,000 restricted shares of its common stock to the holder upon execution. The common shares
were valued at $31,250, their fair market value, and recorded as discount to the debenture. These costs will be amortized using
the effective interest method over the term of the debenture and recorded as interest expense in the Company's financial statements.
In June 2011, the Company issued a convertible
debenture to an existing shareholder in the amount of $125,000. The debenture bears interest at 12% per annum, which is payable
in the Company's common stock at the time of maturity. The debenture is convertible at any time prior to maturity into 150,000
shares of the Company's common stock. This beneficial conversion feature was valued at $90,750, using Black-Scholes methodology,
and recorded as a discount to the debenture. These costs will be amortized using the effective interest method over the term of
the debenture and recorded as interest expense in the Company's financial statements.
In July and August 2011, the Company issued
a series of secured convertible debentures to accredited investors aggregating $275,000 in gross proceeds. All proceeds from these
debentures are to be utilized solely for the purpose of funding raw materials and inventory purchases through the use of an escrow
agent. The debentures bear interest at 12% per annum, payable in monthly installments. The debentures are convertible at any time
prior to maturity at a conversion price equal to 80% of the average share price of the Company's common stock for the 10 previous
trading days prior to conversion, but not less than $0.70. In addition, as further inducement for loaning the Company funds, the
Company issued the lenders 68,750 restricted shares of its common stock and 137,500 common stock warrants exercisable at $1.25
per share. As a result, the Company had to allocate fair market value to each the beneficial conversion feature, restricted shares
and warrants. The common shares were valued at $30,938, their fair market value. The Company determined the fair market value
of the warrants as $94,255 using the Black-Scholes valuation model. Since the combined fair market value allocated to the warrants
and beneficial conversion feature cannot exceed the convertible debenture amount, the beneficial conversion feature was valued
at $149,807, the ceiling of its intrinsic value. These costs will be amortized using the effective interest method over the term
of the debenture and recorded as interest expense in the Company's financial statements.
In February 2012, the Company issued a
convertible debenture to an existing shareholder in the amount of $75,000. The debenture bears interest at 12% per annum, which

In February and June 2012, the Company
converted $524,950 of its loans payable to officers into convertible debentures. These debentures were offered by the Company's
officers to certain accredited investors and a majority portion of the proceeds therefrom were deposited with the Company. The
debentures had no maturity date and bear no interest. Therefore these debentures were payable on demand and were originally classified
as a current liability. The debentures were convertible at any time into 3,499,667 shares, or $0.15 per share of common stock.
The Company determined that these terms created a beneficial conversion feature. Using the Black-Scholes model, the beneficial
conversion feature was valued at $524,950, the ceiling of its intrinsic value. Due to the nature of the debentures, the full value
of the beneficial conversion feature was immediately recorded as interest expense in the Company's financial statements. In August
2012, these convertible debentures were converted into 3,499,666 shares of the Company's common stock.
On April 9, 2012, the Company executed
an Investment Banking and Advisory Agreement with Charles Morgan Securities, Inc., New York, NY ("CMI"), wherein CMI
agreed to provide consulting, strategic business planning, financing on a "best efforts" basis and investor and public
relations services, as well as to assist the Company in its efforts to raise capital through the issuance of debt or equity. The
agreement provided for CMI to engage in two separate private offerings with the initial private placement offering up to $3.0
million and the second private placement offering up to an additional $3.0 million; each on a "best efforts" basis.
In connection with this agreement the Company issued 750,000 shares valued at $0.25 per share or a total value of$187,500. This
amount was fully amortized in the Company's financial statements as of December 31, 2012.
In July 2012, the Company received proceeds
from convertible debentures totaling $182,668 in connection with the CMI agreement. The debentures bear interest at 12% per annum,
which is payable in cash or the Company's common stock at the time of conversion or maturity. The debentures are convertible at
any time prior to maturity at a conversion price equal to the lesser of 75% of the average share price of the Company's common
stock for the five previous trading days prior to conversion or $0.35, but not less than $0.15. In the event that the Company
offers or issues shares of its common stock at a share price less than $0.15, the floor conversion price will adjust to the new
lower price. The Company determined that the terms of the debentures created a beneficial conversion feature. Using the Black-Scholes
model, the beneficial conversion feature was valued at $160,813 and recorded as a discount to the principal amount of the debentures.
The discount is amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the debenture and recorded as interest expense
in the Company's financial statements.
On August 7, 2012, the Company issued
a convertible debenture in the amount of $50,000. The debenture does not bear interest. As an inducement, the Company agreed to
issue the lender 20,000 shares of its common stock. The common shares were valued at their trading price on the date of the agreement
and recorded as interest expense in the Company's results of operations. The Company determined that the terms of the debenture
created a beneficial conversion feature. Using the Black-Scholes model, the beneficial conversion feature was valued at $50,000,
the ceiling of its intrinsic value, and recorded as a discount to the principal amount of the debenture. The discount is amortized
using the effective interest method over the term of the debenture and recorded as interest expense in the Company's financial
statements. During the second quarter of 2013, the conversion terms of this note were modified and the note was converted into
1,500,000 shares of common stock.
On September 25, 2012, the Company issued
a convertible debenture in the amount of $50,000. The debenture bears interest at 6% per annum, which is payable in the Company's
common stock at the time of conversion or maturity. The debenture is convertible at any time prior to maturity at a conversion
price equal to 70% of the lowest closing bid price of the Company's common stock on the four previous trading days prior to and
day of conversion, but not less than $0.0001. The Company determined that the terms of the debenture created a beneficial conversion
feature. Using the Black-Scholes model, the beneficial conversion feature was valued at $50,000, the ceiling of its intrinsic
value, and recorded as a discount to the principal amount of the debenture. The discount is amortized using the effective interest
method over the term of the debenture and recorded as interest expense in the Company's financial statements. During the second

Company Overview and
History
DNA
Brands, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as “us,” “our,” “we,” the “Company” or “DNA”)
was incorporated in the State of Colorado on May 23, 2007 under the name Famous Products, Inc. Prior to July 6, 2010 we were a
beverage company. We are looking to reproduce, market and sell a proprietary line of five carbonated blends of DNA Energy Drink®,
Citrus, Sugar Free Citrus, Original (a unique combination of Red Bull® and Monster® energy drinks), Cryo-Berry (a refreshing
mix of cranberry and raspberry) and Molecular Melon (a cool and refreshing taste); as well as three milk based energy coffees with
fortified with Omega 3. These flavors are Mocha, Vanilla Latte and Caramel Macchiato.
Our
business commenced in May 2006 in the State of Florida under the name Grass Roots Beverage Company, Inc. (“Grass Roots”).
Initial operations of Grass Roots included development of our energy drinks, sampling and other marketing efforts and initial distribution
in the State of Florida. In May 2006 we formed DNA Beverage Corporation, a Florida corporation (“DNA Beverage”).
Our early years were devoted to brand development, creating awareness through heavy sampling programs and creating credibility
among our then core demographic by concentrating marketing efforts on action sports locations and events (surf, motocross, skate,
etc.).
Effective
July 6, 2010, we executed agreements to acquire all of the assets, liabilities and contract rights of DNA Beverage and 100% of

Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying
notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue
Recognition
The
Company derives revenues from the sale of carbonated energy drinks and other related products. Revenue is recognized when all of
the following elements are satisfied: (i) there are no uncertainties regarding customer acceptance; (ii) there is persuasive evidence
that an agreement exists; (iii) delivery has occurred; (iv) legal title to the products has transferred to the customer; (v) the
sales price is fixed or determinable; and (vi) collectability is reasonably assured. At this time the company is in a reorganization
phase and has minimal to no revenue.
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
The
Company’s financial instruments consist mainly of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, accounts
payable, accrued expenses, derivative liabilities, and loans payable. The carrying values of the financial instruments approximate
their fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The fair values of the loans payable have interest rates that
approximate market rates.
Derivative
Instruments
The
Company does not enter into derivative contracts for purposes of risk management or speculation. However, from time to time, the
Company enters into contracts, namely convertible notes payable, that are not considered derivative financial instruments in their
entirety, but that include embedded derivative features.

In
accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASC Topic 815-15, Embedded Derivatives, and
guidance provided by the SEC Staff, the Company accounts for these embedded features as a derivative liability or equity at fair
value.
The
recognition of the fair value of the derivative instrument at the date of issuance is applied first to the debt proceeds. The excess
fair value, if any, over the proceeds from a debt instrument, is recognized immediately in the statement of operations as interest
expense. The value of derivatives associated with a debt instrument is recognized at inception as a discount to the debt instrument
and amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt instrument. A determination is made upon settlement, exchange, or modification
of the debt instruments to determine if a gain or loss on the extinguishment has been incurred based on the terms of the settlement,
exchange, or modification and on the value allocated to the debt instrument at such date.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
The
Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents.
Cash and cash equivalents are stated at cost and consist of bank deposits. The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates
fair value.
Accounts
Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The
Company will bill its customers after its products are shipped. The Company bases its allowance for doubtful accounts on
estimates of the creditworthiness of customers, analysis of delinquent accounts, payment histories of its customers and judgment
with respect to the current economic conditions. The Company generally does not require collateral. The Company believes the allowances
are sufficient to cover uncollectible accounts. The Company reviews its accounts receivable aging on a regular basis for past due
accounts, and writes off any uncollectible amounts against the allowance.
Inventory
No Inventory at
present or for Fiscal year 2018
Inventory
is stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is principally determined by using the average cost method that approximates the
First-In, First-Out (FIFO) method of accounting for inventory. Inventory consists of raw materials as well as finished goods held
for sale. The Company’s management monitors the inventory for excess and obsolete items and makes necessary valuation adjustments
when required.
The Company is in the
process of pricing and ordering inventory.
Property and Equipment
None at present
or for fiscal year 2018
Property
and equipment is recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Replacements, maintenance and repairs which do not improve or
extend the lives of the respective assets are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line
method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:
Impairment of Long-Lived
Assets
None at present
or for fiscal year 2018
Long-lived
assets are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the book value of the assets may not be recoverable.
In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 360-10-35-15 Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived
Assets, recoverability is measured by comparing the book value of the asset to the future net undiscounted cash flows
expected to be generated by the asset.

Going
Concern
As
reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has recorded continual significant net losses Annually for
the trailing 5 years. These matters raise a substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The
ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on management's plans, which includes implementation of its
business plan and continuing to raise funds through debt or equity raises. The Company will likely continue to rely upon related-party
debt or equity financing in order to ensure the continuing existence of the business. Additionally the Company is working on generating
new sales from additional retail outlets, distribution centers or through sponsorship agreements; and allocating sufficient resources
to continue with advertising and marketing efforts.

Convertible Note
Debentures
In
February 2011, the Company issued a convertible debenture to an existing shareholder in the amount of $500,000. The debenture bears
interest at 12% per annum and carries an annual transaction fee of $30,000, of which both are payable in quarterly installments
commencing in May 2011. These costs are recorded as interest expense in the Company's financial statements. In addition, as further
inducement for loaning the Company funds, the Company issued 125,000 restricted shares of its common stock to the holder upon execution.
The common shares were valued at $31,250, their fair market value, and recorded as discount to the debenture. These costs will
be amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the debenture and recorded as interest expense in the Company's
financial statements.
In
June 2011, the Company issued a convertible debenture to an existing shareholder in the amount of $125,000. The debenture bears
interest at 12% per annum, which is payable in the Company’s common stock at the time of maturity. The debenture is convertible
at any time prior to maturity into 150,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. This beneficial conversion feature was valued
at $90,750, using Black-Scholes methodology, and recorded as a discount to the debenture. These costs will be amortized using the
effective interest method over the term of the debenture and recorded as interest expense in the Company's financial statements.
In
July and August 2011, the Company issued a series of secured convertible debentures to accredited investors aggregating $275,000
in gross proceeds. All proceeds from these debentures are to be utilized solely for the purpose of funding raw materials and inventory
purchases through the use of an escrow agent. The debentures bear interest at 12% per annum, payable in monthly installments. The
debentures are convertible at any time prior to maturity at a conversion price equal to 80% of the average share price of the Company’s
common stock for the 10 previous trading days prior to conversion, but not less than $0.70. In addition, as further inducement
for loaning the Company funds, the Company issued the lenders 68,750 restricted shares of its common stock and 137,500 common stock
warrants exercisable at $1.25 per share. As a result, the Company had to allocate fair market value to each the beneficial conversion
feature, restricted shares and warrants. The common shares were valued at $30,938, their fair market value. The Company determined
the fair market value of the warrants as $94,255 using the Black-Scholes valuation model. Since the combined fair market value
allocated to the warrants and beneficial conversion feature cannot exceed the convertible debenture amount, the beneficial conversion
feature was valued at $149,807, the ceiling of its intrinsic value. These costs will be amortized using the effective interest
method over the term of the debenture and recorded as interest expense in the Company's financial statements.
In
February 2012, the Company issued a convertible debenture to an existing shareholder in the amount of $75,000. The debenture bears
interest at 12% per annum, which is payable in the Company’s common stock at the time of maturity. The debenture is convertible
at any time prior to maturity into 280,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. As further inducement, the Company issued
the lender 280,000 common stock warrants exercisable at $1.50 per share. If unexercised, the warrants will expire on January 31,
2017. Using the Black-Scholes model, the warrants were valued at $63,620 and recorded as a discount to the principal amount of
the debenture. This discount is amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the debenture and recorded as interest
expense in the Company's financial statements.
In
February and June 2012, the Company converted $524,950 of its loans payable to officers into convertible debentures. These debentures
were offered by the Company’s officers to certain accredited investors and a majority portion of the proceeds therefrom were
deposited with the Company. The debentures had no maturity date and bear no interest. Therefore these debentures were payable on
demand and were originally classified as a current liability. The debentures were convertible at any time into 3,499,667 shares,
or $0.15 per share of common stock. The Company determined that these terms created a beneficial conversion feature. Using the
Black-Scholes model, the beneficial conversion feature was valued at $524,950, the ceiling of its intrinsic value. Due to the nature
of the debentures, the full value of the beneficial conversion feature was immediately recorded as interest expense in the Company’s
financial statements. In August 2012, these convertible debentures were converted into 3,499,666 shares of the Company’s
common stock.
On
April 9, 2012, the Company executed an Investment Banking and Advisory Agreement with Charles Morgan Securities, Inc., New York,
NY (“CMI”), wherein CMI agreed to provide consulting, strategic business planning, financing on a “best efforts”
basis and investor and public relations services, as well as to assist the Company in its efforts to raise capital through the
issuance of debt or equity. The agreement provided for CMI to engage in two separate private offerings with the initial private
placement offering up to $3.0 million and the second private placement offering up to an additional $3.0 million; each on a “best
efforts” basis. In connection with this agreement the Company issued 750,000 shares valued at $0.25 per share or a total
value of $187,500. This amount was fully amortized in the Company's financial statements as of December 31, 2012.

average share price of the Company’s common stock for the five previous trading days prior to conversion or $0.35, but not
less than $0.15. In the event that the Company offers or issues shares of its common stock at a share price less than $0.15, the
floor conversion price will adjust to the new lower price. The Company determined that the terms of the debentures created a beneficial
conversion feature. Using the Black-Scholes model, the beneficial conversion feature was valued at $160,813 and recorded as a discount
to the principal amount of the debentures. The discount is amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the debenture

Commitments

During

debentures bear interest at 12% per annum, which is payable in cash at the time of maturity. The debentures are convertible at
any time prior to maturity into 216,667 shares of the Company's common stock. As further inducement, the Company issued the lenders
216,667 common stock warrants exercisable at $1.50 per share. If unexercised, the warrants
will expire on February 28, 2017. Using the Black-Scholes model, the warrants were valued at $69,455 and recorded as a discount
up to the principal amount of the debentures. This discount is amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the
debenture and recorded as interest expense in the Company's financial statements. As of December 31, 2013, two of the debentures
totaling $35,000 in principal value were converted into 316,667 shares of common stock. Some of the original conversion terms were

four previous trading days prior to and day of conversion, but not less than $0.0001. The Company determined that the terms of
the debenture created a beneficial conversion feature. Using the Black-Scholes model, the beneficial conversion feature was valued
at $50,000, the ceiling of its intrinsic value, and recorded as a discount to the principal amount of the debenture. The discount
is amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the debenture and recorded as interest expense in the Company's
financial statements.

Company Overview and History
DNA
Brands, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as “us,” “our,” “we,” the “Company” or “DNA”)
was incorporated in the State of Colorado on May 23, 2007 under the name Famous Products, Inc. Prior to July 6, 2010 we were a
beverage company. We are looking to reproduce, market and sell a proprietary line of five carbonated blends of DNA Energy Drink®,
Citrus, Sugar Free Citrus, Original (a unique combination of Red Bull® and Monster® energy drinks), Cryo- Berry (a refreshing
mix of cranberry and raspberry) and Molecular Melon (a cool and refreshing taste); as well as three milk based energy coffees with
fortified with Omega 3. These flavors are Mocha, Vanilla Latte and Carmel Macchiato.
Our
current business commenced in May 2006 in the State of Florida under the name Grass Roots Beverage Company, Inc. ("Grass Roots").
Initial operations of Grass Roots included development of our energy drinks, sampling and other marketing efforts and initial distribution
in the State of Florida. In May 2006 we formed DNA Beverage Corporation, a Florida corporation ("DNA Beverage"). Our
early years were devoted to brand development, creating awareness through heavy sampling programs and creating credibility among
our then core demographic by concentrating marketing efforts on action sports locations and events (surf, motocross, skate, etc.).
Effective
July 6, 2010, we executed agreements to acquire all of the assets, liabilities and contract rights of DNA Beverage and 100% of
the common stock of DNA Beverage's wholly owned subsidiary Grass Roots Beverage Company, Inc. ("Grass Roots") in exchange
for the issuance of 31,250,000 shares of our common stock. The share issuance represented approximately 94.6% of our outstanding
shares at the time of issuance. As a result of this transaction we also changed our name to "DNA Brands, Inc."
Grass
Roots was dissolved and ceased activity on December 31, 2013. Whereby DNA Brands, Inc. has been the surviving entity.
Use of Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying
notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition
The Company
derives revenues from the sale of carbonated energy drinks and other related products. Revenue is recognized when all of the
following elements are satisfied: (i) there are no uncertainties regarding customer acceptance; (ii) there is persuasive
evidence that an agreement exists; (iii) delivery has occurred; (iv) legal title to the products has transferred to the
customer; (v) the sales price is fixed or determinable; and (vi) collectability is reasonably assured. At this time the
company is in a reorganization phase and has minimal to no revenue.
Fair Value of Financial
Instruments
The
Company's financial instruments consist mainly of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, accounts payable,
accrued expenses, derivative liabilities, and loans payable. The carrying values of the financial instruments approximate their
fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The fair values of the loans payable have interest rates that approximate
market rates.

Derivative Instruments
The
Company does not enter into derivative contracts for purposes of risk management or speculation. However, from time to time, the
Company enters into contracts, namely convertible notes payable, that are not considered derivative financial instruments in their
entirety, but that include embedded derivative features.
In
accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") ASC Topic 815-15, Embedded Derivatives, and guidance
provided by the SEC Staff, the Company accounts for these embedded features as a derivative liability or equity at fair value.
The recognition
of the fair value of the derivative instrument at the date of issuance is applied first to the debt proceeds. The excess fair
value, if any, over the proceeds from a debt instrument, is recognized immediately in the statement of operations as interest
expense. The value of derivatives associated with a debt instrument is recognized at inception as a discount to the debt instrument
and amortized to interest expense over the life of the debt instrument. A determination is made upon settlement, exchange, or
modification of the debt instruments to determine if a gain or loss on the extinguishment has been incurred based on the terms
of the settlement, exchange, or modification and on the value allocated to the debt instrument at such date.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers
all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash and
cash equivalents are stated at cost and consist of bank deposits. The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates
fair value.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for
Doubtful Accounts
The Company will bill
its customers after its products are shipped. The Company bases its allowance for doubtful accounts on estimates of the creditworthiness
of customers, analysis of delinquent accounts, payment histories of its customers and judgment with respect to the current economic
conditions. The Company generally does not require collateral. The Company believes the allowances are sufficient to cover uncollectible
accounts. The Company reviews its accounts receivable aging on a regular basis for past due accounts, and writes off any uncollectible
amounts against the allowance.
Inventory
No Inventory at present or for Fiscal year
2017
Inventory is stated at
the lower of cost or market. Cost is principally determined by using the average cost method that approximates the First-In, First-Out
(FIFO) method of accounting for inventory. Inventory consists of raw materials as well as finished goods held for sale. The Company's
management monitors the inventory for excess and obsolete items and makes necessary valuation adjustments when required.
The Company is in the process of pricing and ordering
Inventory.

Property and Equipment
None at present or for fiscal year 2017
Property
and equipment is recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Replacements, maintenance and repairs which do not improve or
extend the lives of the respective assets are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line
method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
None at present or for fiscal year 2017
Long- lived assets are
reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the book value of the assets may not be recoverable. In
accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 360-10-35-15 Impairment or
Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, recoverability is measured by comparing the book value of the asset to the future net
undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset.
No events or changes in
circumstances have been identified which would impact the recoverability of the Company's long-lived assets reported at December
31, 2016 and 2015.
Stock-Based Compensation for fiscal year 2017
On or about October 18th 2017, the company
issued 1,533,200,000 shares of common stock to Consultant Howard Ullman
Stock
compensation arrangements with non-employee service providers are accounted for in accordance with ASC 505-50 Equity-Based Payments
to Non-Employees, using a fair value approach.
The compensation costs of these arrangements are subject to re-measurement over the vesting terms as earned.
Stock Purchase
Warrants
All Prior Warrants issued
have expired worthless as of Dec 31, 2016
Going Concern
As reflected in the accompanying
financial statements, the Company has recorded net losses of $318,272 and $104,273 for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015,
respectively. These matters raise a substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
The
ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on management's plans, which includes implementation of its
business plan and continuing to raise funds through debt or equity raises. The Company will likely continue to rely upon related-party
debt or equity financing in order to ensure the continuing existence of the business. Additionally, the Company is working on generating
new sales from additional retail outlets, distribution centers or through sponsorship agreements; and allocating sufficient resources
to continue with advertising and marketing efforts.

In

with ACS 810-10-55, the Company considered its relationship with, and the terms of its interest in, Beverage LLC and determined
that it was a VIE that should be consolidated into its financial statements. The Company's involvement with Beverage LLC is that
it serves as an entity to obtain inventory financing for DNA.
As of December 31, 2013
and December 2012 the amounts included in the consolidated liabilities, which arc reported in loans payable (before discount) total
$530,000 and $-0- respectively, relating to Beverage LLC. The loans payable bear interest at a rate of 6% per annum and are scheduled

Convertible Note Debentures
In February 2011,
the Company issued a convertible debenture to an existing shareholder in the amount of $500,000. The debenture bears interest
at 12% per annum and carries an annual transaction fee of$30,000, of which both are payable in quarterly installments commencing
in May 2011. These costs are recorded as interest expense in the Company's financial statements. In addition, as further inducement
for loaning the Company funds, the Company issued 125,000 restricted shares of its common stock to the holder upon execution.
The common shares were valued at $31,250, their fair market value, and recorded as discount to the debenture. These costs will

In
June 2011, the Company issued a convertible debenture to an existing shareholder in the amount of $125,000. The debenture bears
interest at 12% per annum, which is payable in the Company's common stock at the time of maturity. The debenture is convertible
at any time prior to maturity into 150,000 shares of the Company's common stock. This beneficial conversion feature was valued

In July and August
2011, the Company issued a series of secured convertible debentures to accredited investors aggregating $275,000 in gross proceeds.
All proceeds from these debentures are to be utilized solely for the purpose of funding raw materials and inventory purchases
through the use of an escrow agent. The debentures bear interest at 12% per annum, payable in monthly installments. The debentures
are convertible at any time prior to maturity at a conversion price equal to 80% of the average share price of the Company's common
stock for the 10 previous trading days prior to conversion, but not less than $0.70. In addition, as further inducement for loaning
the Company funds, the Company issued the lenders 68,750 restricted shares of its common stock and 137,500 common stock warrants
exercisable at $1.25 per share. As a result, the Company had to allocate fair market value to each the beneficial conversion feature,
restricted shares and warrants. The common shares were valued at $30,938, their fair market value. The Company determined the
fair market value of the warrants as $94,255 using the Black-Scholes valuation model. Since the combined fair market value allocated
to the warrants and beneficial conversion feature cannot exceed the convertible debenture amount, the beneficial conversion feature
was valued at $149,807, the ceiling of its intrinsic value. These costs will be amortized using the effective interest method
over the term of the debenture and recorded as interest expense in the Company's financial statements.
In February 2012,
the Company issued a convertible debenture to an existing shareholder in the amount of $75,000. The debenture bears interest at
12% per annum, which is payable in the Company's common stock at the time of maturity. The debenture is convertible at any time
prior to maturity into 280,000 shares of the Company's common stock. As further inducement, the Company issued the lender 280,000
common stock warrants exercisable at $1.50 per share. If unexercised, the warrants will expire on January 31, 2017. Using the
Black-Scholes model, the warrants were valued at $63,620 and recorded as a discount to the principal amount of the debenture.
This discount is amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the debenture and recorded as interest expense
in the Company's financial statements.
In
February and June 2012, the Company converted $524,950 of its loans payable to officers into convertible debentures. These debentures
were offered by the Company's officers to certain accredited investors and a majority portion of the proceeds therefrom were deposited
with the Company. The debentures had no maturity date and bear no interest. Therefore these debentures were payable on demand and
were originally classified as a current liability. The debentures were convertible at any time into 3,499,667 shares, or $0.15
per share of common stock. The Company determined that these terms created a beneficial conversion feature. Using the Black-Scholes
model, the beneficial conversion feature was valued at $524,950, the ceiling of its intrinsic value. Due to the nature of the debentures,
the full value of the beneficial conversion feature was immediately recorded as interest expense in the Company's financial statements.
In August 2012, these convertible debentures were converted into 3,499,666 shares of the Company's common stock.
On April 9, 2012, the Company
executed an Investment Banking and Advisory Agreement with Charles Morgan Securities, Inc., New York, NY ("CMI"), wherein
CMI agreed to provide consulting, strategic business planning, financing on a "best efforts" basis and investor and public
relations services, as well as to assist the Company in its efforts to raise capital through the issuance of debt or equity. The
agreement provided for CMI to engage in two separate private offerings with the initial private placement offering up to $3.0 million
and the second private placement offering up to an additional $3.0 million; each on a "best efforts" basis. In connection
with this agreement the Company issued 750,000 shares valued at $0.25 per share or a total value of $187,500. This amount was fully
amortized in the Company's financial statements as of December 31, 2012.
In
July 2012, the Company received proceeds from convertible debentures totaling $182,668 in connection with the CMI agreement. The
debentures bear interest at 12% per annum, which is payable in cash or the Company's common stock at the time of conversion or
maturity. The debentures are convertible at any time prior to maturity at a conversion price equal to the lesser of 75% of the
average share price of the Company's common stock for the five previous trading days prior to conversion or $0.35, but not less
than $0.15. In the event that the Company offers or issues shares of its common stock at a share price less than $0.15, the floor
conversion price will adjust to the new lower price. The Company determined that the terms of the debentures created a beneficial
conversion feature. Using the Black-Scholes model, the beneficial conversion feature was valued at $160,813 and recorded as a discount
to the principal amount of the debentures. The discount is amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the debenture
and recorded as interest expense in the Company's financial statements.
