Organizational History
Regnum Corp. was organized on March 31, 2016 under the laws of the State of Nevada. We were formed for the primary business purpose of servicing the increasing demand for premium entertainment content and becoming a depository of unpublished intellectual properties for resale with a focus on achieving profitability and sustaining business growth. Our business model is based on acquiring unproduced and unpublished quality intellectual properties at a discount from studios, agencies and production companies, for subsequent recycling or production in a wide variety of media, with the intent to resell such works back to the entertainment community for a profit.
Recent Transactions and Changes of Control
On February 5, 2020, Ocean Ave Holdings, LLC (“Ocean”) which is owned and controlled by Ms. Tiffani Jones, the former sole director and officer of the Company, sold 20,000,000 shares of restricted common stock of the Company in consideration for $345,000, to Tri Capital Energy Corporation (“Tri Capital”), pursuant to an Agreement for the Purchase of Common Stock. The shares which were sold represented 87% of the Company’s then outstanding shares, which resulted in a change of control of the Company.
Tri Capital is controlled by Gary Allen and Mark Gustavson, its directors and its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, respectively.
Subsequently, on February 26, 2020, Tri Capital sold all 20,000,000 shares of the restricted common stock of the Company which it acquired pursuant to the February 5, 2020 Agreement for the Purchase of Common Stock, to Wookey Search Technologies Corporation (“Wookey”), pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement. Consideration for the acquisition of the shares was $50,000 in cash and a promissory note (secured by the 20 million shares of the Company purchased pursuant to the agreement) in the amount of $400,000. A $200,000 principal payment is due under the note on the earlier of (a) March 15, 2020; and (b) two business days after either the Company or Wookey has raised $1 million, subject to a thirty day extension as part of the first extension option discussed below (which amount has not been paid to date, but which due date has been mutually extended by the parties) and the note is due and payable on the earlier of April 1, 2020 (which date may be extended for up to two 30 day periods in the event an extension fee of $10,000 is paid for each extension) and two business days after either the Company or Wookey has raised $2 million. Subsequent to entering into the note, the parties mutually verbally agreed that Wookey would pay an extension fee of $20,000 to Tri Capital on or before April 6, 2020, in consideration for an extension of the due date of the note to May 1, 2020, which amount has not been paid to date. The note contains standard and customary events of default. Upon the occurrence of an event of default under the note, Tri Capital can exercise its rights under a pledge agreement entered into between Tri Capital and Wookey and re-take control and ownership of the 20 million shares of the Company, and therefore take back control of the Company.
Additionally, the parties entered into a Voting Agreement whereby Wookey provided voting control over the 20 million shares of Company common stock. Such Voting Agreement terminates automatically upon the payment in full of the $400,000 promissory note. As such, Tri Capital continues to exercise voting control over the Company. Additionally, Mark Gustavson, the 46% owner of Tri Capital provided Mr. Allen a voting agreement to vote his ownership in Tri Capital until such time as the $400,000 promissory note has been fully paid.
Wookey is controlled by Mark Gustavson, its Chief Executive Officer, director and holder of approximately 43% of its outstanding voting securities.
On February 12, 2020, Ms. Tiffani Jones, the former sole director and officer of the Company, who resigned from such positions as described below, entered into a Consulting Agreement with the Company (the “Consulting Agreement”), whereby Ms. Jones agreed to perform consulting services on a part-time basis for thirty days (beginning February 12, 2020) for $3,750, plus the reimbursement of certain travel expenses. The agreement can be extended for up to two additional thirty-day periods for $3,750 each with the mutual consent of the parties. The agreement can be terminated by the Company at any time. The agreement contains customary confidentiality, liability limitation and similar provisions. The agreement expired on March 13, 2020.
On February 27, 2020, Ms. Jones took action to increase the number of the Company’s directors from one to three pursuant to Section 2.03 of the Company’s bylaws. After taking action to increase the number of the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”), Ms. Jones appointed Gary Allen and Mark Gustavson to the Board, pursuant to the power provided to her as the then sole director pursuant to the Company’s bylaws. Following the increase in the number of the directors and the appointments of Mr. Allen and Mr. Gustavson, Ms. Jones resigned as a director of the Company. Her resignation was not the result of a disagreement with the Company.
Also on February 27, 2020, Ms. Jones resigned as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, President, Treasurer, and Secretary and Mark Gustavson was appointed to serve as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Secretary, and Robert J. Stubblefield was appointed to serve as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer to fill the vacancies resulting from Ms. Jones resignation. Her resignation was not the result of a disagreement with the Company.
Mr. Allen is the Chief Executive Officer and director of Tri Capital. Mr. Gustavson is the Chief Financial Officer and director of Tri Capital and the sole director and Chief Executive Officer of Wookey. Mr. Gustavson holds 3,750,000 shares or approximately 46.25% of the outstanding shares of common stock of Tri Capital and 12 million shares, or approximately 43% of the outstanding common stock of Wookey. Tri Capital holds 600,000 shares, or approximately 2% of the outstanding common stock of Wookey.
On March 29, 2020, Mr. Ross Meador was appointed as the Vice President and General Counsel of the Company. Mr. Meador holds 750,000 shares or approximately 3% of the outstanding common stock of Wookey and serves as the Vice President and General Counsel of Wookey.
Effective on March 27, 2020, Mr. Allen resigned as a member of the Board of Directors of the Company, leaving Mr. Gustavson as the sole member of the Board of Directors.
On March 27, 2020, the Company agreed to issue 1 million shares of restricted common stock to Gary Allen (who served as a member of the Board of Directors of the Company from February 27, 2020 to March 27, 2020) in consideration for services rendered and agreed to be rendered by Mr. Allen to the Company.
Description of Business Operations:
Our business model is based on procuring unproduced and unpublished quality intellectual properties at a discount from independent writers, filmmakers, studios, agencies and production companies for subsequent reworking and/or production in a wide variety of media with intent to resell back to the entertainment community for profit.
Business Process
Our business process entails seeking out and acquiring low budget unproduced and unpublished quality intellectual properties at a discount from independent writers, filmmakers, studios, agencies and production companies, reworking them into new commercially viable projects, and lastly, marketing and selling them back to the entertainment industry for a profit.
Identifying creative content that has resale potential amongst unproduced defunct and/or discarded intellectual property is a process that involves several phases. First, it is essential to select material that will entice interest from prospective film and TV producers, inspire them to see its potential, and ultimately, result in a sale. We believe we are finely tuned in to the most recent trends within the entertainment industry. To ensure that the material falls into a commercially viable genre, for each piece of intellectual property that we locate, an assessment is conducted to identify the trends in certain categories of film and television that enjoy popularity at the time. Next, we determine the demands of prospective viewers that the future film or show will be aimed at to ensure the material is tailored to their expectations thus increasing the chances of the product sparking interest from potential buyers. Lastly, we examine and evaluate popular films and shows in the chosen category to identify the creative and commercial attributes with the purpose of utilizing the gained prospective into the project. We then move to acquiring full rights to the obsolete original material it deems suitable at a symbolic or negotiated discounted price.
If needed, necessary modifications are then made to the original material. Since we seek to acquire full rights to the original material, we are free to alter its content or characters, or modify its format as we see fit and produce it in all kinds of media including novels, graphic novels, scripts for films and TV shows, web series, live stage shows, etc.
Once the original material is recycled/reworked into a new project, it is ready for marketing. All phases of product development, marketing and sales are conducted by our former Chief Executive Officer Ms. Jones, who previously devoted her full-time to the Company’s operations and has been serving as a consultant to the Company since February 12, 2020, on a part-time basis, pursuant to which she receives $3,750 from the Company for every thirty days of service which the Company chooses to employ Ms. Jones through May 12, 2020.
Since inception, we have acquired three bundles of various scripts and manuscripts from an independent production company and a producer at a deep discount for a total of $2,300, 21 of which were recycled and subsequently optioned off/sold for a total of $44,800. Most recently, on December 16, 2019, we entered into a literary purchase agreement with Steven McKean (“McKean”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, we sold all rights in and to the literary work entitled “The Sunny Side of the Street” to McKean. The purchase was made for cash in the amount of $1,000.
Target Market
We target both television and film sectors of the entertainment industry with the aim of servicing the ever-increasing demand for premium content and becoming a depository of television and movie scripts for resale. To identify and select a target market, we evaluate available industry and marketing information within the film and television entertainment showbiz.
Since we seek to acquire full rights to the original material to avoid any possibility of future claims, we only pursue the deals where the seller is willing to relinquish and assign all rights to us. This may limit our choices, however, to our benefit, there is a vast inventory of unproduced material accumulated over decades to choose from, and we do not anticipate a shortage in acquiring unpublished content.
Competition
The competition in the television and film industry ranges from major film and TV studios and production companies to small independent writers, producers and distributors. We base our competitive strategy on the fact that, despite stiff competition from about any established industry participant due to our lack of financial resources, business relationships and marketing tools, the barriers to entry into the industry are fairly low while demand for new entertainment content is high. Studios, producers, TV executives, cable networks, etc. are constantly scouting for fresh forms of entertainment to bring to their viewers. Our principal method of competition is to market specifically to small independent TV and film producers and agencies who generally lack the time and funding required to develop content themselves and instead rely on third parties to supply them with ready material. We believe that our business model of acquiring unproduced and unpublished quality content at a discount and selling it to our selected target market for profit will give us the competitive advantage over bigger well-financed studios that are competing for fresh scripts from popular writers, and will help service the increasing demand for premium content. However, we cannot provide any assurances as to the likelihood of our success.
Government Regulation
Distribution rights to motion pictures are granted legal protection under the copyright laws of the United States and most foreign countries. These laws provide substantial civil and criminal sanctions for unauthorized duplication and exhibition of motion pictures. Motion pictures, musical works, sound recordings, art work, still photography and motion picture properties are separate works, subject to copyright under most copyright laws, including the United States Copyright Act of 1976, as amended. We plan to take appropriate and reasonable measures to secure, protect and maintain or obtain agreements to secure, protect and maintain copyright protection for its intellectual properties under the laws of applicable jurisdictions.
Intellectual Property
We have established “options” and “all rights” sales as our main revenue-generating streams. In the event of an “all rights” sale, we relinquish any rights to the intellectual property being sold. However, we estimate that the majority of revenues will come from options. In the event of an option sale, we will retain our intellectual property rights, and an option agreement is signed allowing a production company or producer to secure exclusive rights to our intellectual property for a specified period of time. In exchange, we will receive “option money” which is a deposit towards the negotiated purchase price that the Company will expect to receive once the intellectual property is sold to a studio or network, at which time the remainder of the purchase price is paid to us. In the case when the project is not sold within the specified time frame, the option expires and ownership rights revert back to the Company.
Employees
We currently have three executive officers and no other employees. Currently our executive officers receive no compensation for their services. There is no written employment contract or agreement with any of our officers at this time. We also do not have any benefits, such as health of life insurance, available to our employees.
Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act
In April 2012, the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (“JOBS Act”) was enacted into law. The JOBS Act provides, among other things:
|
●
|
Exemptions for “emerging growth companies” (such as the Company) from certain financial disclosure and governance requirements for up to five years and provides a new form of financing to small companies;
|
|
●
|
Amendments to certain provisions of the federal securities laws to simplify the sale of securities and increase the threshold number of record holders required to trigger the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act;
|
|
●
|
Relaxation of the general solicitation and general advertising prohibition for Rule 506 offerings; and
|
|
●
|
Adoption of a new exemption for public offerings of securities in amounts not exceeding $50 million.
|
In general, under the JOBS Act a company is an “emerging growth company” if its initial public offering (“IPO”) of common equity securities was effected after December 8, 2011 and the company had less than $1.07 billion of total annual gross revenues during its last completed fiscal year. A company will no longer qualify as an “emerging growth company” after the earliest of
|
(i)
|
the completion of the fiscal year in which the company has total annual gross revenues of $1.07 billion or more,
|
|
(ii)
|
the completion of the fiscal year of the fifth anniversary of the company’s IPO (which went effective on April 9, 2018);
|
|
(iii)
|
the company’s issuance of more than $1 billion in nonconvertible debt in the prior three-year period, or
|
|
(iv)
|
the company becoming a “larger accelerated filer” as defined under the Exchange Act.
|
The JOBS Act provides additional new guidelines and exemptions for non-reporting companies and for non-public offerings. Those exemptions that impact the Company are discussed below.
Financial Disclosure. The financial disclosure in a registration statement filed by an “emerging growth company” pursuant to the Securities Act, will differ from registration statements filed by other companies as follows:
|
(i)
|
audited financial statements required for only two fiscal years (provided that “smaller reporting companies” such as the Company are only required to provide two years of financial statements);
|
|
(ii)
|
selected financial data required for only the fiscal years that were audited (provided that “smaller reporting companies” such as the Company are not required to provide selected financial data as required by Item 301 of Regulation S-K); and
|
|
(iii)
|
executive compensation only needs to be presented in the limited format now required for “smaller reporting companies”.
|
However, the requirements for financial disclosure provided by Regulation S-K promulgated by the Rules and Regulations of the SEC already provide certain of these exemptions for smaller reporting companies. The Company is a smaller reporting company. Currently a smaller reporting company is not required to file as part of its registration statement selected financial data and only needs to include audited financial statements for its two most current fiscal years with no required tabular disclosure of contractual obligations.
The JOBS Act also exempts the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm from having to comply with any rules adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) after the date of the JOBS Act’s enactment, except as otherwise required by SEC rule.
The JOBS Act further exempts an “emerging growth company” from any requirement adopted by the PCAOB for mandatory rotation of the Company’s accounting firm or for a supplemental auditor report about the audit.
Internal Control Attestation. The JOBS Act also provides an exemption from the requirement of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm to file a report on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, although management of the Company is still required to file its report on the adequacy of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Section 102(a) of the JOBS Act exempts “emerging growth companies” from the requirements in §14A(e) of the Exchange for companies with a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act, to hold stockholder votes for executive compensation and golden parachutes.
Other Items of the JOBS Act. The JOBS Act also provides that an “emerging growth company” can communicate with potential investors that are qualified institutional buyers or institutions that are accredited to determine interest in a contemplated offering either prior to or after the date of filing the respective registration statement. The JOBS Act also permits research reports by a broker or dealer about an “emerging growth company” regardless of whether such report provides sufficient information for an investment decision. In addition, the JOBS Act precludes the SEC and Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) from adopting certain restrictive rules or regulations regarding brokers, dealers and potential investors, communications with management and distribution of research reports on the “emerging growth company’s” initial public offerings (IPOs).
Section 106 of the JOBS Act permits “emerging growth companies” to submit registration statements under the Securities Act, on a confidential basis provided that the registration statement and all amendments thereto are publicly filed at least 21 days before the issuer conducts any road show. This is intended to allow “emerging growth companies” to explore the IPO option without disclosing to the market the fact that it is seeking to go public or disclosing the information contained in its registration statement until the company is ready to conduct a roadshow.
Election to Opt Out of Transition Period. Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts “emerging growth companies” from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standard.
The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of the transition period.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Risks Related to Our Business Operations:
We may require additional financing, and we may not be able to raise funds on favorable terms or at all.
We had working capital of $6,644 as of December 31, 2019. With our current cash on hand, expected revenues, and based on our current average monthly expenses, we anticipate the need for additional funding in order to continue our operations at their current levels, and to pay the costs associated with being a public company, for the next 12 months, and may require additional funding in the future to support our operations and/or may seek to raise additional funding in the future to expand or complete acquisitions. The sources of this capital are expected to be equity investments and notes payable.
The most likely source of future funds presently available to us will be through the sale of equity capital. Any sale of share capital will result in dilution to existing stockholders. Furthermore, we may incur debt in the future, and may not have sufficient funds to repay our future indebtedness or may default on our future debts, jeopardizing our business viability.
We may not be able to borrow or raise additional capital in the future to meet our needs or to otherwise provide the capital necessary to expand our operations and business, which might result in the value of our common stock decreasing in value or becoming worthless. Additional financing may not be available to us on terms that are acceptable. Consequently, we may not be able to proceed with our intended business plans. Substantial additional funds will still be required if we are to reach our goals that are outlined in this Report. Obtaining additional financing contains risks, including:
|
●
|
additional equity financing may not be available to us on satisfactory terms and any equity we are able to issue could lead to dilution for current stockholders;
|
|
●
|
loans or other debt instruments may have terms and/or conditions, such as interest rate, restrictive covenants and control or revocation provisions, which are not acceptable to management or our sole director;
|
|
●
|
the current environment in capital markets combined with our capital constraints may prevent us from being able to obtain adequate debt financing; and
|
|
●
|
if we fail to obtain required additional financing to grow our business, we would need to delay or scale back our business plan, reduce our operating costs, or reduce our headcount, each of which would have a material adverse effect on our business, future prospects, and financial condition.
|
We have net losses from operations and there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. If we are not able to generate positive cash flow, our business operations may fail.
The Company has incurred a net loss of $36,380 for the year ended December 31, 2019 and had an accumulated deficit of $33,820 at December 31, 2019. In addition, the Company has a history of losses. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company’s ability to meet its obligations in the ordinary course of business is dependent upon its ability to establish profitable operations and obtain additional funds when needed. We may not be able to generate sufficient revenues to support our operations or continue as a going concern. As a result, the opinion the Company received from its independent registered public accounting firm on its December 31, 2019 financial statements contains an explanatory paragraph stating that there is substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we become unable to continue as a going concern, we may have to liquidate our assets, and may realize significantly less than the values at which they are carried on our financial statements, and stockholders may lose all or part of their investment in our common stock. The accompanying financial statements do not contain any adjustments for this uncertainty.
We may have difficulty obtaining future funding sources, if needed, and we may have to accept terms that would adversely affect stockholders.
We will need to raise funds from additional financing in the future to complete our business plan and may need to raise additional funding in the future to support our operations. We have no commitments for any financing and any financing commitments may result in dilution to our existing stockholders. We may have difficulty obtaining additional funding, and we may have to accept terms that would adversely affect our stockholders. For example, the terms of any future financings may impose restrictions on our right to declare dividends or on the manner in which we conduct our business. Additionally, we may raise funding by issuing convertible notes, which if converted into shares of our common stock would dilute our then stockholders’ interests. Lending institutions or private investors may impose restrictions on a future decision by us to make capital expenditures, acquisitions or significant asset sales. If we are unable to raise additional funds, we may be forced to curtail or even abandon our business plan.
Our ability to grow and compete in the future will be adversely affected if adequate capital is not available.
The ability of our business to grow and compete depends on the availability of adequate capital, which in turn depends in large part on our cash flow from operations and the availability of equity and debt financing. Our cash flow from operations may not be sufficient or we may not be able to obtain equity or debt financing on acceptable terms or at all to implement our growth strategy. As a result, adequate capital may not be available to finance our current growth plans, take advantage of business opportunities or respond to competitive pressures, any of which could harm our business.
If we are unable to manage future growth effectively, our profitability and liquidity could be adversely affected.
Our ability to achieve our desired growth depends on our execution in functional areas such as management, sales and marketing, finance and general administration and operations. To manage any future growth, we must continue to improve our operational and financial processes and systems and expand, train and manage our employee base and control associated costs. Our efforts to grow our business, both in terms of size and in diversity of customer bases served, will require expansion in certain functional areas and put a significant strain on our resources. We may incur significant expenses as we attempt to scale our resources and make investments in our business that we believe are necessary to achieve long-term growth goals. If we are unable to manage our growth effectively, our expenses could increase without a proportionate increase in revenue, our margins could decrease, and our business and results of operations could be adversely affected.
If we make any acquisitions, they may disrupt or have a negative impact on our business.
If we make acquisitions in the future, funding permitting, which may not be available on favorable terms, if at all, we could have difficulty integrating the acquired company’s assets, personnel and operations with our own. We do not anticipate that any acquisitions or mergers we may enter into in the future would result in a change of control of the Company. In addition, the key personnel of the acquired business may not be willing to work for us. We cannot predict the effect expansion may have on our core business. Regardless of whether we are successful in making an acquisition, the negotiations could disrupt our ongoing business, distract our management and employees and increase our expenses. In addition to the risks described above, acquisitions are accompanied by a number of inherent risks, including, without limitation, the following:
|
●
|
the difficulty of integrating acquired products, services or operations;
|
|
●
|
the potential disruption of the ongoing businesses and distraction of our management and the management of acquired companies;
|
|
●
|
difficulties in maintaining uniform standards, controls, procedures and policies;
|
|
●
|
the potential impairment of relationships with employees and customers as a result of any integration of new management personnel;
|
|
●
|
the potential inability or failure to achieve additional sales and enhance our customer base through cross-marketing of the products to new and existing customers;
|
|
●
|
the effect of any government regulations which relate to the business acquired;
|
|
●
|
potential unknown liabilities associated with acquired businesses or product lines, or the need to spend significant amounts to retool, reposition or modify the marketing and sales of acquired products or operations, or the defense of any litigation, whether or not successful, resulting from actions of the acquired company prior to our acquisition; and
|
|
●
|
potential expenses under the labor, environmental and other laws of various jurisdictions.
|
Our business could be severely impaired if and to the extent that we are unable to succeed in addressing any of these risks or other problems encountered in connection with an acquisition, many of which cannot be presently identified. These risks and problems could disrupt our ongoing business, distract our management and employees, increase our expenses and adversely affect our results of operations.
Because we have a limited operating history our future operations may not result in profitable operations.
There is no significant operating history upon which to base any assumption as to the likelihood that we will prove successful, and we may never achieve profitable operations. If we are unsuccessful in addressing these risks, our business will most likely fail. We may not generate profitable operations in the future to ensure our continuation.
We rely on our management and if they were to leave our company our business plan could be adversely effected.
We are largely dependent upon the personal efforts and abilities of our existing management, including Mr. Mark J. Gustavson, our Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Robert J. Stubblefield, our Chief Financial Officer, and Mr. Ross Meador, our Vice President and General Counsel, each of who plays an active role in our operations. Moving forward, should the services of any of such persons be lost for any reason, the Company will incur costs associated with recruiting replacements and any potential delays in operations which this may cause. If we are unable to replace such individual with a suitably trained alternative individual(s), we may be forced to scale back or curtail our business plan.
We do not currently have any employment agreements or maintain key person life insurance policies on our executive officers.
We do not currently have any employment agreements in place with management.
The Company has not entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Mark J. Gustavson, our Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Robert J. Stubblefield, our Chief Financial Officer, or Mr. Ross Meador, our Vice President and General Counsel. As such, there are no contractual relationships guaranteeing that Mr. Gustavson, Mr. Stubblefield, or Mr. Meador will stay with the Company and continue its operations. In the event any of such persons were to resign; the Company may be unable to get another officer to fill the void and performance may be significantly affected.
Our operating results may fluctuate due to factors that are difficult to forecast and not within our control.
Our past operating results may not be accurate indicators of future performance, and you should not rely on such results to predict our future performance. Our operating results have fluctuated significantly in the past, and could fluctuate in the future. Factors that may contribute to fluctuations include:
|
●
|
changes in aggregate capital spending, cyclicality and other economic conditions, including those relating to the recent Covid-19 novel coronavirus outbreak and governmental actions to curb such outbreak;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
our ability to effectively manage our working capital;
|
|
●
|
our ability to generate increased demand in our targeted markets, particularly those in which we have limited experience;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
global epidemics and pandemics and the U.S.’s responses thereto (including, but not limited to Covid-19);
|
|
●
|
our ability to satisfy consumer demands in a timely and cost-effective manner;
|
|
●
|
pricing and availability of labor and materials;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
our inability to adjust certain fixed costs and expenses for changes in demand and the timing and significance of expenditures that may be incurred to facilitate our growth;
|
|
●
|
seasonal fluctuations in demand and our revenue; and
|
|
●
|
disruption in the supply of materials.

Our majority stockholder controls a majority of our voting securities and therefore has the ability to influence matters affecting our stockholders.
Wookey Search Technologies Corporation, our majority stockholder, which holds 83.5% of our outstanding shares of common stock, and which is controlled by Mark Gustavson, our Chief Executive Officer and director, has the ability, after the payment of the $400,000 promissory note owed to Tri Capital, and Tri Capital, prior to such repayment date, has the ability, to influence matters affecting our stockholders and will therefore exercise control in determining the outcome of all corporate transactions or other matters, including the election of directors, mergers, consolidations, the sale of all or substantially all of our assets, and also the power to prevent or cause a change in control. Any investor who purchases shares will be a minority stockholder and as such will have little to no say in the direction of the Company and the election of directors. Additionally, it will be difficult if not impossible for investors to remove our current director, which will mean they he will remain in control of who serves as officers of the Company as well as whether any changes are made in the Board of Directors. As a potential investor in the Company, you should keep in mind that even if you own shares of the Company’s common stock and wish to vote them at annual or special stockholder meetings, your shares will likely have little effect on the outcome of corporate decisions. Because our Chief Executive Officer controls such shares (following the repayment date of the note), investors may find it difficult to replace our management if they disagree with the way our business is being operated. Additionally, the interests of Mr. Gustavson may differ from the interests of the other stockholders and thus result in corporate decisions that are adverse to other stockholders.
We May Choose to Enter into a Merger and/or Acquisition Transaction in the Future.
While we have not entered into any definitive agreements or understandings to merge with or acquire any entity, in the event that we do enter into a merger and/or acquisition with a separate company in the future, new shares of common stock could be issued resulting in substantial dilution to our then current stockholders. Currently, we anticipate that we will enter into a transaction with Wookey in the future, the result of which will be that the business of the Company will change to that of Wookey, provided that no definitive agreements or understandings have been entered into or agreed to, to date. Wookey, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Wookey Project Corp, is engaged in the operation of a virtual reality platform known as Sansar, which is focused on hosting live musical performances online using virtual reality technology. In the event that we enter into a merger or acquisition transaction, our business focus will likely change and we can make no assurances that our management will be able to properly manage our direction or that a change in our business focus will be successful. If we do enter into a merger or acquisition, and our management fails to properly manage and direct our operations, we may be forced to scale back or abandon our operations, which will cause the value of our common stock to decline or become worthless. We have not entered into any merger or acquisition agreements as of the date of this filing.
Corporate governance and reporting risks:
We have identified material weaknesses in our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting. If not remediated, our failure to establish and maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting could result in material misstatements in our financial statements and a failure to meet our reporting and financial obligations, each of which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and the trading price of our common stock.
Maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and effective disclosure controls and procedures are necessary for us to produce reliable financial statements. As reported under “Part II” - “Item 9A. Controls and Procedures“, as of December 31, 2019, our CEO and CFO have determined that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective, and such disclosure controls and procedures have not been deemed effective for several quarters. Separately, management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2019 and determined that such internal control over financial reporting was not effective as a result of such assessment.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. A control deficiency exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis.
Maintaining effective disclosure controls and procedures and effective internal control over financial reporting are necessary for us to produce reliable financial statements and the Company is committed to remediating its material weaknesses in such controls as promptly as possible. However, there can be no assurance as to when these material weaknesses will be remediated or that additional material weaknesses will not arise in the future. Any failure to remediate the material weaknesses, or the development of new material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, could result in material misstatements in our financial statements and cause us to fail to meet our reporting and financial obligations, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and the trading price of our common stock, and/or result in litigation against us or our management. In addition, even if we are successful in strengthening our controls and procedures, those controls and procedures may not be adequate to prevent or identify irregularities or facilitate the fair presentation of our financial statements or our periodic reports filed with the SEC.
Because we are not subject to compliance with rules requiring the adoption of certain corporate governance measures, our stockholders have limited protections against interested director transactions, conflicts of interest and similar matters.
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as rule changes proposed and enacted by the SEC, the New York Stock Exchange and the Nasdaq Stock Market, as a result of Sarbanes-Oxley, require the implementation of various measures relating to corporate governance. These measures are designed to enhance the integrity of corporate management and the securities markets and apply to securities that are listed on those exchanges or the Nasdaq Stock Market. Because we are not presently required to comply with many of the corporate governance provisions and because we chose to avoid incurring the substantial additional costs associated with such compliance any sooner than legally required, we have not yet adopted these measures.
Because we only have one director, who is not independent, we do not currently have an independent audit or compensation committee. As a result, our director has the ability to, among other things, determine his own level of compensation. Until we comply with such corporate governance measures, regardless of whether such compliance is required, the absence of such standards of corporate governance may leave our stockholders without protections against interested director transactions, conflicts of interest, if any, and similar matters and any potential investors may be reluctant to provide us with funds necessary to expand our operations.
We intend to comply with all corporate governance measures relating to director independence as and when required. However, we may find it very difficult or be unable to attract and retain qualified officers, directors and members of board committees required to provide for our effective management as a result of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The enactment of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 has resulted in a series of rules and regulations by the SEC that increase responsibilities and liabilities of directors and executive officers. The perceived increased personal risk associated with these recent changes may make it more costly or deter qualified individuals from accepting these roles.
We incur ongoing costs and expenses for SEC reporting and compliance and without sufficient revenues we may not be able to remain in compliance, making it difficult for investors to sell their shares, if at all.
In order for us to remain in compliance with our on-going reporting requirements, we may require additional capital and/or future revenues to cover the cost of these filings, which could comprise a substantial portion of our available cash resources, or require us to obtain additional capital through the sale of equity or debt. If we are unable to further capitalize the Company or generate sufficient revenues to remain in compliance, it may be difficult for you to resell any shares you may purchase, if at all. There are ongoing costs and expenses for SEC reporting, including the general bookeeping and accounting costs for the preparation of the financial quarterly (Form 10-Qs) and annual filings (Form 10-Ks), and auditor’s fees. Further, there are processing costs in preparing and converting documents and disclosures through the EDGAR filing system, including certain costs for the XBRL that are required as part of the EDGAR filing. We estimate that these costs could result in up to $75,000 per year of ongoing costs.
Risks relating to our common stock:
Stockholders may be diluted significantly through our efforts to obtain financing and satisfy obligations through the issuance of additional shares of our common stock.
We have no committed source of financing. Wherever possible, our Board of Directors will attempt to use non-cash consideration to satisfy obligations. In many instances, we believe that the non-cash consideration will consist of restricted shares of our common stock. Our Board of Directors has authority, without action or vote of the stockholders, to issue all or part of the authorized but unissued shares of common stock. In addition, if a trading market develops for our common stock, we may attempt to raise capital by selling shares of our common stock, possibly at a discount to market. These actions will result in dilution of the ownership interests of existing stockholders, may further dilute common stock book value, and that dilution may be material. Such issuances may also serve to enhance existing management’s ability to maintain control of the Company because the shares may be issued to parties or entities committed to supporting existing management.
Nevada law and our articles of incorporation authorize us to issue shares of stock, which shares may cause substantial dilution to our existing stockholders.
We have authorized capital stock consisting of 80,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.001 par value per share. As of the date of this Report, we have 23,950,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding and no shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding. As a result, our Board of Directors has the ability to issue a large number of additional shares of common stock without stockholder approval, which if issued could cause substantial dilution to our then stockholders. The issuance of shares of common stock and/or preferred stock may cause the value of our securities to decrease and/or become worthless.
There is no material public market for our common stock.
Although our common stock is quoted on the OTC Pink Market maintained by OTC Markets, to date only a limited number of shares of our common stock have traded and a significant market may not develop in the future. If for any reason a public trading market does not develop, stockholders may have difficulty selling their common stock should they desire to do so.
Even if a more significant trading market develops, we cannot predict how liquid that market might become. The trading price of our common stock, if any, in the future, is likely to be highly volatile and could be subject to wide fluctuations in price in response to various factors, some of which are beyond our control.
These factors include:
|
●
|
Quarterly variations in our results of operations or those of our competitors;
|
|
|
|
|
●
|
Announcements by us or our competitors;
|
|
●
|
Disruption to our operations;
|
|
●
|
Commencement of, or our involvement in, litigation;
|
|
●
|
Any major change in our board or management;
|
|
●
|
Changes in governmental regulations or in the status of our regulatory approvals; and
|
|
●
|
General market conditions and other factors, including factors unrelated to our own operating performance.
|
In addition, the stock market in general has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of such public companies. Such fluctuations may be even more pronounced in the future. These broad market and industry factors may seriously harm the market price of our common stock, regardless of our actual operating performance. In addition, in the past, following periods of volatility in the overall market and the market price of a company’s securities, securities class action litigation has often been instituted against these companies. This type of litigation, if instituted against us, could result in substantial costs and a diversion of our management’s attention and resources.
There is currently a volatile, sporadic and illiquid market for our common stock.
Our securities are currently quoted on the OTC Pink Market maintained by OTC Markets under the symbol “RGMP,” however, we currently have a volatile, sporadic and illiquid market for our common stock, which is subject to wide fluctuations in response to several factors, including, but not limited to:
|
·
|
actual or anticipated variations in our results of operations;
|
|
·
|
our ability or inability to generate new revenues;
|
|
·
|
increased competition; and
|
|
·
|
conditions and trends in the market for our services and products.
|
Furthermore, our stock price may be impacted by factors that are unrelated or disproportionate to our operating performance. These market fluctuations, as well as general economic, political and market conditions, such as recessions, global epidemics or pandemics, interest rates or international currency fluctuations may adversely affect the market price and liquidity of our common stock.
We have not paid any cash dividends in the past and have no plans to issue cash dividends in the future, which could cause the value of our common stock to have a lower value than other similar companies which do pay cash dividends.
We have not paid any cash dividends on our common stock to date and do not anticipate any cash dividends being paid to holders of our common stock in the foreseeable future. While our dividend policy will be based on the operating results and capital needs of the business, it is anticipated that any earnings will be retained to finance our future expansion. As we have no plans to issue cash dividends in the future, our common stock could be less desirable to other investors and as a result, the value of our common stock may decline, or fail to reach the valuations of other similarly situated companies who have historically paid cash dividends in the past.
Stockholders may face significant restrictions on the resale of our common stock due to federal regulations of penny stocks.
Our common stock will be subject to the requirements of Rule 15g-9, promulgated under the Exchange Act, as long as the price of our common stock is below $5.00 per share. Under such rule, broker-dealers who recommend low-priced securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors must satisfy special sales practice requirements, including a requirement that they make an individualized written suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s consent prior to the transaction. The Securities Enforcement Remedies and Penny Stock Reform Act of 1990, also requires additional disclosure in connection with any trades involving a stock defined as a penny stock. Generally, the Commission defines a penny stock as any equity security not traded on an exchange or quoted on NASDAQ that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share. The required penny stock disclosures include the delivery, prior to any transaction, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the risks associated with it. Such requirements could severely limit the market liquidity of the securities and the ability of Company stockholders to sell their securities in the secondary market.
Sales of our common stock could reduce the price of our stock.
As of the date of this Report, we have 23,950,000 shares of our common stock which were registered under the Securities Act. A total of 2,950,000 shares of such shares of common stock were registered on our Form S-1 registration statement and are currently available for immediate sale. The availability for sale of substantial amounts of common stock could reduce prevailing market prices for our securities.
Risks relating to the JOBS Act:
The JOBS Act allows us to postpone the date by which we must comply with certain laws and regulations and to reduce the amount of information provided in reports filed with the SEC. We cannot be certain if the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to “emerging growth companies” will make our common stock less attractive to investors.
We are and we will remain an “emerging growth company” until the earliest to occur of (i) the last day of the fiscal year during which our total annual revenues equal or exceed $1.07 billion (subject to adjustment for inflation), (ii) the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of our initial public offering (which went effective on April 9, 2018), (iii) the date on which we have, during the previous three-year period, issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt securities, or (iv) the date on which we are deemed a “large accelerated filer” (with at least $700 million in public float) under the Exchange Act. For so long as we remain an “emerging growth company” as defined in the JOBS Act, we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies” as described in further detail in the risk factors below. We cannot predict if investors will find our common stock less attractive because we will rely on some or all of these exemptions. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and our stock price may be more volatile. We have availed ourselves of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements which are allowed pursuant to the JOBS Act and our reduced disclosure may make it more difficult for investors and securities analysts to evaluate us and may result in less investor confidence.
Our election not to opt out of JOBS Act extended accounting transition period may not make our financial statements easily comparable to other companies.
Pursuant to the JOBS Act, as an “emerging growth company”, we can elect to opt out of the extended transition period for any new or revised accounting standards that may be issued by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) or the SEC. We have elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, we, as an “emerging growth company”, can adopt the standard for the private company. This may make a comparison of our financial statements with any other public company which is not either an “emerging growth company” nor an “emerging growth company” which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible as possible different or revised standards may be used.
The JOBS Act also allows us to postpone the date by which we must comply with certain laws and regulations intended to protect investors and to reduce the amount of information provided in reports filed with the SEC.
The JOBS Act is intended to reduce the regulatory burden on “emerging growth companies”. The Company meets the definition of an “emerging growth company” and so long as it qualifies as an “emerging growth company,” it will, among other things:
|
●
|
be exempt from the provisions of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requiring that its independent registered public accounting firm provide an attestation report on the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting;
|
|
●
|
be exempt from the “say on pay” provisions (requiring a non-binding stockholder vote to approve compensation of certain executive officers) and the “say on golden parachute” provisions (requiring a non-binding stockholder vote to approve golden parachute arrangements for certain executive officers in connection with mergers and certain other business combinations) of The Dodd–Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act) and certain disclosure requirements of the Dodd-Frank Act relating to compensation of Chief Executive Officers;
|
|
●
|
be permitted to omit the detailed compensation discussion and analysis from proxy statements and reports filed under the Exchange Act and instead provide a reduced level of disclosure concerning executive compensation; and
|
|
●
|
be exempt from any rules that may be adopted by the PCAOB requiring mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report on the financial statements.
|
The Company intends to take advantage of all of the reduced regulatory and reporting requirements that will be available to it so long as it qualifies as an “emerging growth company”. The Company has elected not to opt out of the extension of time to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards available under Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act. Among other things, this means that the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm will not be required to provide an attestation report on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting so long as it qualifies as an “emerging growth company”, which may increase the risk that weaknesses or deficiencies in the internal control over financial reporting go undetected. Likewise, so long as it qualifies as an “emerging growth company”, the Company may elect not to provide certain information, including certain financial information and certain information regarding compensation of executive officers, which it would otherwise have been required to provide in filings with the SEC, which may make it more difficult for investors and securities analysts to evaluate the Company. As a result, investor confidence in the Company and the market price of its common stock may be adversely affected.
Notwithstanding the above, we are also currently a “smaller reporting company”, meaning that we are not an investment company, an asset-backed issuer, or a majority-owned subsidiary of a parent company that is not a smaller reporting company and have a public float of less than $250 million and annual revenues of less than $100 million during the most recently completed fiscal year. In the event that we are still considered a “smaller reporting company”, at such time are we cease being an “emerging growth company”, the disclosure we will be required to provide in our SEC filings will increase, but will still be less than it would be if we were not considered either an “emerging growth company” or a “smaller reporting company”. Specifically, similar to “emerging growth companies”, “smaller reporting companies” are able to provide simplified executive compensation disclosures in their filings; are exempt from the provisions of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requiring that independent registered public accounting firms provide an attestation report on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting; and have certain other decreased disclosure obligations in their SEC filings, including, among other things, only being required to provide two years of audited financial statements in annual reports. Decreased disclosures in our SEC filings due to our status as an “emerging growth company” or “smaller reporting company” may make it harder for investors to analyze the Company’s results of operations and financial prospects.
