PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS | SUBJECT TO COMPLETION | DATED MARCH 11, 2025 |
Up to 105,000,000 Shares of Common Stock
FREEDOM HOLDINGS, INC.
The information in this prospectus is not complete and may be changed. The selling stockholders may not sell these securities until the registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission is effective. This prospectus is not an offering to sell these securities and it is not a solicitation of an offering to buy these securities in any state where the offer or sale of such securities is not permitted.
This prospectus relates to the resale from time to time, of up to 105,000,000 shares of the common stock of Freedom Holdings, Inc. (hereafter, “we,” “us,” “our,” “FHLD,” or the “Company”) by the Selling Stockholder. We are not selling any shares of common stock in this offering. We, therefore, will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares by the Selling Stockholder. We do however, receive proceeds from the sale of securities pursuant to the STRATA Purchase Agreement. Any participating broker-dealers and, if the Selling Stockholder is an affiliate of any such broker-dealers, are “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and any commissions or discounts given to any such broker-dealer or affiliates of a broker-dealer may be regarded as underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. The Selling Stockholder has informed us that they are broker-dealers. Our common stock is traded on the over-the-counter market under the symbol “FHLD”. The closing price for our common stock as of the date of this filing was $0.12 per share, as reported by OTC Markets.
The shares being registered herein are comprised of 105,000,000 shares of common stock that are issuable pursuant to the STRATA Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) that we entered into with ClearThink Capital Partners, LLC (the “Selling Stockholder”) on January 30, 2025. The purchase price of the shares that may be sold to Selling Stockholder under the SPA will be equal to (i) 80% of the average of the two (2) lowest volume weighted average prices (“VWAP”) of the Company’s Common Stock if the VWAP is less than or equal to $0.25 per share; (ii) 85% of the average of the two (2) lowest VWAPs of the Company’s Common Stock if the VWAP is between $0.26 and $0.50 per share; (iii) 88% of the average of the two (2) lowest VWAPs of the Company’s Common Stock if the VWAP is between $0.51 and $0.99 per share; and (iv) 90% of the average of the two (2) lowest VWAPs of the Company’s Common Stock if the VWAP is greater than or equal to $1.00 per share. The actual date and price per share of the Company’s common stock pursuant to any such put right under the SPA is unknown and, thus, the actual purchase price for the shares is unknown. Accordingly, we caution readers that, although we are registering 105,000,000 shares, we may need to register additional shares to maximize the SPA. Therefore, the number of shares issued from the SPA may be substantially greater than the number of shares being registered hereunder. See “Summary of SPA” on page 22 for a more complete discussion of the SPA and the terms by which we may issue additional shares of our common stock.
The Selling Stockholder may sell all or a portion of these common shares from time to time in market transactions to any market on which the common stock is then traded, in negotiated transactions or otherwise, and at prices, and on terms that will be determined by the then prevailing market price or at negotiated prices directly or through a broker or brokers, who may act as agent or as principal or by a combination of such methods of sale.
Our auditors have expressed substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. We expect that we will need approximately $1,000,000 in capital to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months from the date of this prospectus. We intend to raise capital to fund our operations through sales of multi-media and entertainment related products and services, borrowings, and private placements of our common stock.
Pablo Diaz, our President and CEO, has the majority of the voting rights of holders of our capital stock through his ownership of (i) 32,740,942 shares of our Common Stock; and (ii) all 10,000,000 shares of our Series A preferred stock. The Series A Preferred class is entitle to 89.5% of the vote, on a fully-diluted basis, on all matters submitted to shareholders for a vote. Accordingly, as the owner of all Series A shares, Mr. Diaz will have voting control over all matters submitted to the holders of our common stock for approval, including the election of directors, amendments to our certificate of incorporation and major corporate transactions.
An investment in our common stock is subject to many risks and an investment in our shares will also involve a high degree of risk. The shares issuable from the Equity Financing Agreement will dilute the ownership interest and voting power of existing stockholders. See “Risk Factors” on page 11 to read about factors you should consider before purchasing shares of our common stock.
Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense. The information in this prospectus is not complete and may be changed. This prospectus is included in the registration statement that was filed by us with the SEC. The Selling Stockholder may not sell these securities until the registration statement becomes effective. This prospectus is not an offer to sell these securities and is not soliciting an offer to buy these securities in any state where the offer or sale is not permitted.
The date of this prospectus is March 11, 2025

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
This summary highlights some of the information in this prospectus. It is not complete and may not contain all of the information that you may want to consider. You should read carefully the more detailed information set forth under “Risk Factors” and the other information included in this prospectus. Except where the context suggests otherwise, the terms “we,” “us,” “our,” “FHLD” and the “Company” refer to Freedom Holdings, Inc. We refer in this prospectus to our executive officers and other members of our management team, collectively, as “Management.”
FREEDOM HOLDINGS, INC A/K/A Freedom Acquisition Corp. (“we”, “us”, “our”, the “Company” or the “Registrant”) was incorporated in the State of Maryland on June 16, 2005. The Company was formed to participate in the mortgage industry, however, was forced to cease mortgage operations during the 2008 housing crisis at which time the Company acquired small oil and gas leases in SE Kansas. In 2012 the company sold the leases and began an unsuccessful effort to develop technology to recycle asphalt shingles. In 2015, the Company began consulting other small private and public companies assisting in the process of going public and introduction of legal and auditing firms. On January 18, 2023, the Company entered into a Definitive Agreement with MedCann Industries, Inc. (“MedCann”) whereby (i) MedCann acquired a majority equity position in the Company in exchange for $50,000 consideration, and (ii) John Vivian was appointed as CEO of the Company. The Company and MedCann closed the Definitive Agreement on February 3, 2023.
In June 2024, it was decided to cease all operations and activities associated with the MedCann.
On September 17, 2024, the Company closed a reverse merger transaction with The Awareness Group LLC (TAG), founder of the TAG GRID and an emerging player in the alternative energy space, whereby TAG became a wholly owned and operating subsidiary of Freedom Holdings, Inc. Under terms of the agreement, the following occurred:
| · | TAG shareholders obtained control of 89.5% of FHLD through a restated Series A Preferred class of stock; |
| · | TAG CEO Pablo Diaz and the TAG management team took over as the executive team for FHLD; |
| · | TAG assumed control of the FHLD board and appointed its existing board members to the FHLD board. |
Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company
We qualify as an emerging growth company as that term is used in the JOBS Act. An emerging growth company may take advantage of specified reduced reporting and other burdens that are otherwise applicable generally to public companies. These provisions include:
| · | A requirement to have only two years of audited financial statements and only two years of related MD&A; |
| · | Exemption from the auditor attestation requirement in the assessment of the emerging growth company’s internal control over financial reporting under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. |
| · | Reduced disclosure about the emerging growth company’s executive compensation arrangements; and |
| · | No non-binding advisory votes on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements. |
We have already taken advantage of these reduced reporting burdens in this registration statement, which are also available to us as a smaller reporting company as defined under Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).
In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) for complying with new or revised accounting standards. We are choosing to utilize the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards under Section 102(b)(2) of the JOBS Act. This election is irrevocable and allows our Company to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until those standards apply to private companies. As a result of this election, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates.
We could remain an emerging growth company for up to five years, or until the earliest of (i) the last day of the first fiscal year in which our annual gross revenues exceed $1 billion, (ii) the date that we become a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act, which would occur if the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter, or (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt during the preceding three year period.
Business of Issuer
At The Awareness Group (TAG) (OTC: FHLD), we're not just participating in the alternative energy revolution-we're driving it. Powered by innovation, TAG is raising the bar with the TAG GRID, a national platform offering a unique suite of solar services and financing solutions for both commercial and residential projects. TAG takes care of every stage of the project, from concept to installation, and also acts as the guarantor for all projects. This ensures a seamless experience for TAG GRID members and their customers, resulting in higher satisfaction for service providers and end users alike. Our growth is fueled by TAG Financial, which operates through two key divisions. TAG Financial Services (TFS) supports TAG GRID members by managing the front-end processes-partnering with sales organizations and EPCs while providing exclusive access to TAG and third-party lending products and innovative fintech solutions. Meanwhile, TAG Capital, our in-house fund management arm, takes it a step further by directly funding proprietary lending products and maximizing the value of our loan portfolios and investment tax credits (ITCs). While organic growth is at the core of our strategy, we're also expanding through a proven acquisition strategy, bringing forward-thinking companies under the TAG umbrella. This approach adds new offerings, drives incremental revenue and strengthens TAG's position as the trusted guarantor for all TAG GRID projects. Together, these efforts are propelling TAG to new heights, delivering unparalleled value to our customers, employees, partners, and investors. With TAG, the future of energy is already here.
We are governed by the following officers and directors: Pablo Diaz (Chairman, CEO), Nadia Conn (CFO), Frank Moreno (CMO), Brooks Holcomb (Director), and Marco Rubin (Director). Our principal office is located at 10524 Independence Ave., Chatsworth, CA 91311-4305. We have 11 full-time employees and utilize the services of various contract personnel from time to time.
We are filing this prospectus in connection with shares of our common stock that may be offered and sold from time to time by the Selling Stockholder pursuant to the Standby SPA. The Selling Stockholder is offering for sale up to 105,000,000 shares of our common stock. The Selling Stockholder is not an affiliate of the Company. On January 30, 2025, we entered into the SPA with the Selling Stockholder, pursuant to which, the Selling Stockholder agreed to purchase in excess of up to $10,000,000 worth of our common stock pursuant to the respective terms of the SPA. Additionally, we entered into Registration Rights Agreements (the “Registration Rights Agreements”) with the Selling Stockholder, pursuant to which we have filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) the registration statement that includes this prospectus to register for resale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), the shares that may be issued to the Selling Stockholder under the SPA.
Issuances of our common stock in this offering will not affect the rights or privileges of our existing stockholders, except that the economic and voting interests of each of our existing stockholders will be diluted as a result of any such issuance. Although the number of shares of common stock that our existing stockholders own will not decrease, the shares owned by our existing stockholders will represent a smaller percentage of our total outstanding shares after any such issuance to the Selling Stockholder.
We are subject to the information requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and in accordance therewith file quarterly and annual reports, as well as other information with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under File No. 000-54163. Such reports and other information filed with the SEC can be inspected and copied at the public reference facilities maintained by the SEC at 450 Fifth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20549 at prescribed rates, and at various regional and district offices maintained by the SEC throughout the United States. Information about the operation of the SEC’s public reference facilities may be obtained by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. The SEC also maintains a website at http://www.sec.gov that contains reports and other information regarding us and other registrants that file electronic reports and information with the SEC.

REPM Acquisition

(“REPM”) pursuant to which the Company acquired (i) a 51% ownership interest in REPM; and (ii) an option to acquire the remaining 49% within the next twelve months, subject to REPM having at least $250,000 in EBITDA. As consideration for its purchase, TAG is onboarding REPM onto its platform, has agreed to assume REPM’s operating expenses, and is integrating REPM into TAG’s operations (the “Onboarding Plan”), which includes:
| · | Payment of the Company’s operating expenses incurred between January 25, 2025, and the Closing Date; |
| · | Providing capital needed to pay Company’s monthly operating expenses; |
| · | Implementation of all TAG Programs into the Company; |

The acquisition of REPM will enable TAG to accelerate its commercial solar strategy. Its expertise will enhance our business development, lead generation and sales capabilities, while its state-of-the-art technology and innovative approaches will further TAG's sustainability efforts and technological advancements in the commercial space. Acquiring REPM represents a significant milestone in our mission to lead the transition to a sustainable energy future. REPM's innovative approach to solar energy solutions complements our existing portfolio and strengthens our ability to deliver comprehensive renewable energy projects under the TAG GRID.
About REPM
REPM, headquartered in Collingswood, New Jersey, brings 44 years of combined energy experience. Its comprehensive services include funding, maintenance and monitoring for residential, commercial and non-profit sectors.

THE OFFERING
Securities Offered | Up to 105,000,000 shares of our common stock for public and private resale. |
| |
Offering Price | The Selling Stockholder will offer and sell its shares of common stock in accordance with the terms of the SPA. |
| |
Shares Outstanding | We are authorized to issue 500,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share. As of the date of this prospectus, we have 58,608,825 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. We entered into a SPA pursuant to which Selling Stockholder has agreed to purchase up to $10,000,000 worth of shares of our common stock from time to time. These put shares are issuable from time to time, as the Company may direct, at a purchase price of (i) 80% of the average of the two (2) lowest volume weighted average prices (“VWAP”) of the Company’s Common Stock if the VWAP is less than or equal to $0.25 per share; (ii) 85% of the average of the two (2) lowest volume weighted average prices (“VWAP”) of the Company’s Common Stock if the VWAP is between $0.26 and $0.50 per share; (iii) 88% of the average of the two (2) lowest volume weighted average prices (“VWAP”) of the Company’s Common Stock if the VWAP is between $0.51 and $0.99 per share; and (iv) 90% of the average of the two (2) lowest volume weighted average prices (“VWAP”) of the Company’s Common Stock if the VWAP is greater than or equal to $1.00 per share. For purposes of this prospectus, we have assumed a purchase price of $0.096 and the initial registration of 105,000,000 shares of common stock issued pursuant to the SPA to the Selling Stockholder. However, because the actual date and price per share of the Company’s common stock pursuant to any put right under the SPA is unknown, the actual purchase price for the shares is unknown. Accordingly, we caution readers that, although we are registering 105,000,000 shares, the Company may need to register additional shares to maximize the SPA. Therefore, the number of shares issued from the SPA may be substantially greater than the number of shares being registered hereunder. (see “Business – Summary of SPA” on page 22). We are also authorized to issue 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share. 10,000,000 shares of our preferred stock are designated Series A Preferred Stock and issued and outstanding at this time. There are also 10,000,000 shares of our preferred stock designated as Series B, all of which are also issued and outstanding. |

RISK FACTORS
An investment in our securities involves certain risks relating to our business and operations. You should carefully consider these risks, together with all of the other information included in this prospectus, before you decide whether to purchase shares of our Company. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected. If that happens, the trading price of our common stock could decline and you may lose all or part of your investment.
Risks Related to Our Business
Our auditors have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Our audited financial statements for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2024, and 2023 were prepared assuming that we will continue our operations as a going concern. We do not, however, have a history of operating profitably. Consequently, our independent accountants in their audit report have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our continued operations are highly dependent upon our ability to increase revenues, decrease operating costs, and complete equity and/or debt financings. Such financings may not be available or may not be available on reasonable terms. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty. We estimate that we will not be able to continue as a going concern after December 31, 2024 unless we are able to secure capital from one of these sources of financing. If we are unable to secure such financing, we may cease operations and investors in our common stock could lose all of their investment.
We have not voluntarily implemented various corporate governance measures, in the absence of which, shareholders may have more limited protections against interested director transactions, conflicts of interest and similar matters.
Federal legislation, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, has resulted in the adoption of various corporate governance measures designed to promote the integrity of the corporate management and the securities markets. Some of these measures have been adopted in response to legal requirements. Others have been adopted by companies in response to the requirements of national securities exchanges, such as the NYSE or the Nasdaq Stock Market, on which their securities are listed. Among the corporate governance measures that are required under the rules of national securities exchanges are those that address board of directors’ independence, and audit committee oversight. We have not yet adopted any of these corporate governance measures and, since our securities are not yet listed on a national securities exchange, we are not required to do so. It is possible that if we were to adopt some or all of these corporate governance measures, stockholders would benefit from somewhat greater assurances that internal corporate decisions were being made by disinterested directors and that policies had been implemented to define responsible conduct. Prospective investors should bear in mind our current lack of corporate governance measures in formulating their investment decisions.
As a smaller public company, our costs of complying with SEC reporting rules are disproportionately high compared to other larger companies.
Freedom Holdings, Inc. is considered a “reporting issuer” under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Therefore, we incur certain costs of compliance with applicable SEC reporting rules and regulations including, but not limited to attorney’s fees, accounting and auditing fees, other professional fees, financial printing costs and Sarbanes-Oxley compliance costs. In proportion to our operations, these costs are far more significant than our publicly-traded competitors. Unless we are able to reduce these costs or increase our operating revenues, our costs to remain a reporting issuer will limit our ability to use our cash resources for other more productive uses that could provide returns to our shareholders.
We do not presently have a traditional credit facility with a financial institution. This absence may adversely affect our operations.
To expand our business, we require access to capital and credit. We do not presently have a traditional credit facility with a financial institution. The absence of a traditional credit facility with a financial institution could adversely impact our operations. If we are unable to access lines of credit, we may be unable to produce health and beauty products to certain customers who would otherwise be willing to enter into purchase contracts with us. The loss of potential and existing customers because of an inability to finance the purchase of products and services would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Non-performance of suppliers on their sale commitments and customers on their purchase commitments could disrupt our business.
We enter into sales and purchase orders with customers and suppliers for products and services at fixed prices. To the extent either a customer or supplier fails to perform on their commitment, we may be required to sell or purchase other available products and services at prevailing market prices, which could be significantly different than the fixed price within the sale and purchase order and therefore significant differences in these prices could cause losses that would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
If we are unable to retain our sales staff, our business and results of operations could be harmed.
Our ability to compete and develop our business is largely dependent on the services of Pablo Diaz, our Chief Executive Officer, and certain other third-party consultants and suppliers which assist him in securing sales of certain products and services. If we are unable to retain Mr. Diaz’s services and to attract other qualified senior management and key personnel on terms satisfactory to us, our business will be adversely affected. We do not have key man life insurance covering the life of Mr. Diaz and, even if we are able to afford such a key man policy, our coverage levels may not be sufficient to offset any losses we may suffer as a result of Mr. Diaz’s death, disability, or other inability to perform services for us.
We may acquire businesses and enter into joint ventures that will expose us to increased operating risks.
As part of our growth strategy, we intend to acquire other companies. We cannot provide any assurance that we will find attractive acquisition candidates in the future, that we will be able to acquire such candidates on economically acceptable terms or that we will be able to finance acquisitions on economically acceptable terms. Even if we are able to acquire new businesses in the future, they could result in the incurrence of substantial additional indebtedness and other expenses or potentially dilutive issuances of equity securities and may affect the market price of our common stock or restrict our operations. We have also entered into joint venture arrangements intended to complement or expand our business and will likely continue to do so in the future. These joint ventures are subject to substantial risks and liabilities associated with their operations, as well as the risk that our relationships with our joint venture partners do not succeed in the manner that we anticipate.
We face intense competition and, if we are not able to effectively compete in our markets, our revenues may decrease.
Competitive pressures in our markets could adversely affect our competitive position, leading to a possible loss of customers or a decrease in sales, either of which could result in decreased revenues and profits. Our competitors are numerous, ranging from large multinational corporations, which have significantly greater capital resources than us, to relatively small and specialized firms. Our business could be adversely affected because of increased competition from these companies, who may choose to increase their direct marketing or provide less advantageous price and credit terms to us than to our competitors.
Current and future litigation could adversely affect us.
Though we are currently not involved in any legal proceedings, from time to time we are involved in legal proceedings in our ordinary course of business. Lawsuits and other legal proceedings can involve substantial costs, including the costs associated with investigation, litigation and possible settlement, judgment, penalty or fine. As a smaller company, the collective costs of litigation proceedings can represent a drain on our cash resources, as well as an inordinate amount of our management’s time and addition. Moreover, an adverse ruling in respect of certain litigation could have a material adverse effect on our results of operation and financial condition.
We have limited the liability of our board of directors and management.
We have adopted provisions in our Articles of Incorporation which limit the liability of our directors and officers and have also adopted provisions in our bylaws which provide for indemnification by the Company of our officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by Florida corporate law. Our articles of incorporation generally provides that our directors shall have no personal liability to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for breaches of their fiduciary duties as directors, except for breaches of their duties of loyalty, acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or knowing violation of law, acts involving unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful stock purchases or redemptions, or any transaction from which a director derives an improper personal benefit. Such provisions substantially limit our shareholders’ ability to hold directors liable for breaches of fiduciary duty.
In addition to provisions in our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, we have also entered into indemnification agreements with our directors and officers that provide a right of indemnification to the fullest extent permissible under Florida law. These charter, Bylaw, and contractual provisions may limit our shareholders’ ability to hold our directors and officers accountable for breaches of their duties, or otherwise discourage shareholders from enforcing their rights, either directly or derivatively, against our directors or officers.
Our auditor has been charged with violations by the Securities and Exchange Commission
Our auditor, Olayinka Oyebola & Co. (Chartered Accountants), and its principal, Olayinka Oyebola, (the "Auditor") have been charged by the Securities and Exchange Commission with aiding and abetting violations of the antifraud provisions of the federal securities laws. The relief sought includes potential civil penalties as well as permanent injunctive relief, including an order permanently barring the Auditor from acting as an auditor or accountant for U.S. public companies or providing substantial assistance in the preparation of financial statements filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These charges and penalties, if imposed, could potentially cause the Company to find a new auditor, leading to potential restatements, delays in regulatory filings or reputational harm.

Risks Relating To This Offering and Our Common Stock
If the selling shareholder sells a large number of shares all at once or in blocks, the market price of our shares would most likely decline.
The Selling Shareholder is offering up to 105,000,000 shares of our common stock through this prospectus. Should the Selling Stockholder decide to sell our shares at a price below the current market price at which they are quoted, such sales will cause that market price to decline. Moreover, we believe that the offer or sale of a large number of shares at any price may cause the market price to fall. A steep decline in the price of our common stock would adversely affect our ability to raise additional equity capital, and even if we were successful in raising such capital, the terms of such raise may be substantially dilutive to current shareholders.
The sale of our common stock under the SPA may cause dilution, and the sale of the shares of common stock, or the perception that such sales may occur, could cause the price of our common stock to fall.
On January 30, 2025, we entered into the SPA with the Selling Stockholder. Pursuant to the SPA, the Selling Stockholder has committed to purchase up to $10,000,000 of our common stock. The per share purchase price for the shares that we may sell under the SPA will fluctuate based on the price of our common stock as disclosed herein.
The market price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly.
The market price and marketability of shares of our common stock may be affected significantly by numerous factors, including some over which we have no control, and which may not be directly related to us. These factors include the following:
| · | The lack of trading volume in our shares; |
| | |
| · | Price and volume fluctuations in the stock market from time to time, which often are unrelated to our operating performance; |
| | |
| · | Variations in our operating results; |
| | |
| · | Any shortfall in revenue or any increase in losses from expected levels; |
| | |
| · | Announcements of new initiatives, joint ventures, or commercial arrangements; and |
| | |
| · | General economic trends and other external factors. |
| | |
| · | If the trading price of our common stock falls significantly following completion of this offering, this may cause some of our shareholders to sell our shares, which would further adversely affect the trading market for, and liquidity of, our common stock. If we seek to raise capital through future equity financings, this volatility may adversely affect our ability to raise such equity capital |
Our common stock is subject to the “penny stock” rules of the SEC and the trading market in our securities is limited, which makes transactions in our stock cumbersome and may reduce the value of an investment in our stock.
Under U.S. federal securities legislation, our common stock will constitute “penny stock”. A penny stock is any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require that a broker or dealer approve a potential investor’s account for transactions in penny stocks, and the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased. In order to approve an investor’s account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must obtain financial information and investment experience objectives of the person and make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks. The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prepared by the SEC relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination. 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. Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and in secondary trading and about the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.
Because we do not intend to pay any cash dividends on our common stock, our stockholders will not be able to receive a return on their shares unless they sell them.
We have never paid a dividend, and we intend to retain any future earnings to finance the development and expansion of our business. Consequently, we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. Unless we pay dividends, our stockholders will not be able to receive a return on their shares unless they sell them. We cannot assure you that stockholders will be able to sell shares when desired.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
As of the date of this prospectus, our shares of common stock are quoted on the OTC Pink. The Selling Stockholder may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of common stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or quoted or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices.
Based upon the terms of the SPA as described on page 22 of this prospectus under “Summary of SPA”, the following table illustrates the number and percentage of shares of our common stock held by the Selling Stockholder upon issuance of the shares that are covered by this prospectus:
Conversion at Assumed Price(1) |
Principal Amount | | | Number of Shares Received(2) | | | Pct. of Total Outstanding Shares(3) | | | Pct. of Outstanding Shares Held by Non-Affiliates(4) | |
| | | | | | | | | | |
$ | 10,000,000 | | | | 105,000,000 | | | | 64 | % | | | 80 | % |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
$ | 10,000,000 | | | | 105,000,000 | | | | 64 | % | | | 80 | % |
| (1) | The purchase price of the shares that may be sold to Selling Stockholder under the Standby SPA will be equal to (i) 80% of the average of the two (2) lowest volume weighted average prices (“VWAP”) of the Company’s Common Stock if the VWAP is less than or equal to $0.25 per share; (ii) 85% of the average of the two (2) lowest VWAPs of the Company’s Common Stock if the VWAP is between $0.26 and $0.50 per share; (iii) 88% of the average of the two (2) lowest VWAPs of the Company’s Common Stock if the VWAP is between $0.51 and $0.99 per share; and (iv) 90% of the average of the two (2) lowest VWAPs of the Company’s Common Stock if the VWAP is greater than or equal to $1.00 per share. For purposes of this prospectus, we have assumed a share price of $0.096. |
| (2) | Because the actual date and price per share under the SPA is unknown, the actual price per share is undetermined. Consequently, the number of shares actually issuable may be substantially greater than the number being registered. |
| (3) | Based on 58,608,825 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding as of January 30, 2025, and assuming the issuance of 105,000,000 new shares of common stock to the Selling Stockholder. |
| (4) | Based on 58,608,825 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding as of January 30, 2025, and assuming the issuance of 105,000,000 new shares of common stock to the Selling Stockholder, but excluding shares held by executive officers, directors, and beneficial holders of more than 10% of our common stock equaling 32,740,942 shares. |
The Selling Stockholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:
| • | ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits investors; |
| • | block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction; |
| • | purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account; |
| • | an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange; |
| • | privately negotiated transactions; |
| • | to cover short sales made after the date that this registration statement is declared effective by the SEC; |
| • | broker-dealers may agree with the Selling Stockholder to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share; |
| • | a combination of any such methods of sale; and |
| • | any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law. |
The Selling Stockholder may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.
Broker dealers engaged by the Selling Stockholder may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling stockholder, (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of securities, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this prospectus, in the case of any of an agency transaction not in excess of a customer brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2440; and in the case of a principal transaction, a markup or markdown in compliance with FINRA IM-244.
We have advised the Selling Stockholder that it may not use shares registered on this registration statement to cover short sales of common stock made prior to the date on which this registration statement shall have been declared effective by the SEC. If a Selling Stockholder uses this prospectus for any sale of the common stock, it will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. The Selling Stockholder will be responsible to comply with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act and Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations thereunder promulgated, including, without limitation, Regulation M, as applicable to the Selling Stockholder in connection with resales of its shares under this registration statement.
Penny Stock Rules
The SEC has also adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in “penny stocks” as such term is defined by Rule 15g-9. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the Nasdaq system provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system).
The shares offered by this prospectus constitute penny stocks under the Exchange Act. The shares may remain penny stocks for the foreseeable future. The classification of our shares as penny stocks makes it more difficult for a broker-dealer to sell the stock into a secondary market, which makes it more difficult for a purchaser to liquidate his or her investment. Any broker-dealer engaged by the purchaser for the purpose of selling his or her shares in Freedom Holdings, Inc. will be subject to the penny stock rules.
The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, deliver a standardized risk disclosure document approved by the SEC, which: (i) contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading; (ii) contains a description of the broker’s or dealer’s duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to a violation to such duties or other requirements of the Securities Act; (iii) contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including bid and ask prices for penny stocks and significance of the spread between the bid and ask price; (iv) contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions; (v) defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading in penny stocks; and (vi) contains such other information and is in such form as the SEC shall require by rule or regulation. The broker-dealer also must provide to the customer, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, (i) bid and offer quotations for the penny stock; (ii) the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction; (iii) the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock; and (iv) monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account.
In addition, the penny stock rules require that, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement. These disclosure requirements will have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our stock because it will be subject to these penny stock rules. Therefore, stockholders may have difficulty selling those securities.
Regulation M
During such time as we may be engaged in a distribution of any of the shares, we are registering by this registration statement, we are required to comply with Regulation M of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In general, Regulation M precludes any selling security holder, any affiliated purchasers and any broker-dealer or other person who participates in a distribution from bidding for or purchasing or attempting to induce any person to bid for or purchase, any security which is the subject of the distribution until the entire distribution is complete. Regulation M defines a “distribution” as an offering of securities that is distinguished from ordinary trading activities by the magnitude of the offering and the presence of special selling efforts and selling methods. Regulation M also defines a “distribution participant” as an underwriter, prospective underwriter, broker, dealer, or other person who has agreed to participate or who is participating in a distribution.
Regulation M prohibits, with certain exceptions, participants in a distribution from bidding for or purchasing, for an account in which the participant has a beneficial interest, any of the securities that are the subject of the distribution. Regulation M also governs bids and purchases made in order to stabilize the price of a security in connection with a distribution of the security. We have informed the Selling Stockholder that the anti-manipulation provisions of Regulation M may apply to the sales of their shares offered by this prospectus, and we have also advised the Selling Stockholder of the requirements for delivery of this prospectus in connection with any sales of the common stock offered by this prospectus.
USE OF PROCEEDS
This prospectus relates to shares of our common stock that may be offered and sold from time to time by the Selling Stockholder. We will not receive any proceeds upon the sale of shares by the Selling Stockholder in this offering. However, We do receive proceeds from the sale of securities pursuant to the SPA, including, up to $10,000,000 under the SPA, assuming that we sell the full amount of our common stock that we have the right, but not the obligation, to sell to the Selling Stockholder under the SPA. See “Plan of Distribution” on page 14 of this prospectus for more information.
We currently expect to use the net proceeds from the sale of shares to the Selling Stockholder under the SPA to further develop our health and beauty product lines and marketing of the same through our internet radio service and for other general corporate purposes. We will have broad discretion in determining how we will allocate the proceeds from any sales to the Selling Stockholder.
There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to sell all shares contemplated in the Registration Statement under the terms of the SPA. Even if we sell in excess of $10,000,000 worth of shares of our common stock to the Selling Stockholder pursuant to the SPA, we will need to obtain additional financing in the future in order to fully fund all of our planned product and service-related research and development activities. Furthermore, it is likely that we will need to do further registration statements to fill the Selling Stockholder SPA. We may seek additional capital in the private and/or public equity markets, pursue government contracts and grants as well as business development activities to continue our operations, respond to competitive pressures, develop new products and services, and to support new strategic partnerships. We are evaluating additional equity financing opportunities on an ongoing basis and may execute them when appropriate. However, there can be no assurances that we can consummate such a transaction, or consummate a transaction at favorable pricing.
DETERMINATION OF THE OFFERING PRICE
The Selling Stockholder will determine at what price it may sell the offered shares, and such sales may be made at prevailing market prices or at privately negotiated prices.
SELLING STOCKHOLDER
The following table sets forth the shares beneficially owned, as of January 30, 2025, by the Selling Stockholder prior to the offering contemplated by this prospectus, the number of shares the Selling Stockholder is offering by this prospectus and the number of shares it would own beneficially if all such offered shares are sold.
Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with rules of attribution as promulgated by the SEC. Under these rules, a person is deemed to be a beneficial owner of a security if that person has or shares voting power, which includes the power to vote or direct the voting of the security, or investment power, which includes the power to vote or direct the voting of the security. The person is also deemed to be a beneficial owner of any security of which that person has a right to acquire beneficial ownership within 60 days. Under SEC rules, more than one person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of the same securities, and a person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of securities as to which he or she may not have any pecuniary beneficial interest. Except as noted below, each person has sole voting and investment power.
The percentages below are calculated based on 58,608,825 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding as of January 30, 2025. The Selling Stockholder does not hold any options, warrants or other securities exercisable for or convertible into shares of our common stock.

Although we may at our discretion elect to issue to the Selling Stockholder up to $10,000,000 of our common stock under the SPA, such shares are not included in determining the percentage of shares beneficially owned before this offering. |
| | |
| (2) | Assumes a purchase price of 0.096 which price represents an 80% discount to the average of the two (2) lowest Volume Weighted Average Price of the Issuer’s common stock during the five (5) trading days after the clearing date. Because the actual date and price per share for the Company’s put right under the SPA is unknown, the actual purchase price for the shares is unknown. Accordingly, the actual shares issuable pursuant to the SPA may be significantly more than the amount of shares being registered herein. |
| | |
| (3) | Includes: (i) shares of common stock held by the Selling Stockholder that are issued and outstanding, (ii) shares of common stock issuable pursuant to the SPA that are being registered hereunder. |

Dividends and Distributions

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Forward-Looking Statements
This report contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. We use words such as anticipate, believe, plan, expect, future, intend and similar expressions to identify such forward-looking statements. You should not place too much reliance on these forward-looking statements. Our actual results are likely to differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements for many reasons.
Results of Operations
Following is management’s discussion of the relevant items affecting results of operations for the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.
Revenues. The Company generated $14,793,455 and $0 in revenues during the three months ended December 31, 2024, and 2023, respectively. The revenues for the period were generated by our newly acquired wholly owned subsidiary, The Awareness Group, LLC (“TAG”), and are a direct result of TAG’s operations. We anticipate continued growth in revenues as we continue to execute on our business plan and growth strategies.
Cost of Sales. Our cost of sales for the three months ended December 31, 2024, and 2023, were $7,252,317 and $0, respectively. This increase is a result of the operations of TAG. We expect revenues and corresponding cost of sales to increase year over year as we continue to grow and expand operations through TAG.
Professional Fees. Professional fees for the three months ended December 31, 2024, were $-0- as compared to $295 for the year ended September 30, 2023. Professional fees consist mainly of the fees related to the audits and reviews of the Company’s financial statements as well as the filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We anticipate that professional fees will increase in future periods as we scale up our operations.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $226,806 for the three months ended December 31, 2024, as compared to $65 the three months ended December 31, 2023. We anticipate that SG&A expenses will increase commensurately with an increase in our operations.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of December 31, 2024, our primary source of liquidity consisted of $121,347 in cash and cash equivalents. We hold our cash reserves in a major United States bank. Since inception, we have financed our operations through a combination of short and long-term loans, and through the private placement of our common stock.
We have sustained significant net losses which have resulted in negative working capital and an accumulated deficit at December 31, 2024, and 2023 of $2,631,517 and $9,950,869, respectively. We generated net income for the three months ended December 31, 2024, of $7,292,314.
We believe these conditions have resulted from the inherent risks associated with small public companies. Such risks include, but are not limited to, the ability to (i) generate revenues and sales of our products and services at levels sufficient to cover our costs and provide a return for investors, (ii) attract additional capital in order to finance growth, and (iii) successfully compete with other comparable companies having financial, production and marketing resources significantly greater than those of the Company.
We believe that our capital resources are insufficient for ongoing operations, with minimal current cash reserves, particularly given the resources necessary to expand our multi-media entertainment business. We will likely require considerable amounts of financing to make any significant advancement in our business strategy. There is presently no agreement in place that will guarantee financing for our Company, and we cannot assure you that we will be able to raise any additional funds, or that such funds will be available on acceptable terms. Funds raised through future equity financing will likely be substantially dilutive to current shareholders. Lack of additional funds will materially affect our Company and our business and may cause us to substantially curtail or even cease operations. Consequently, you could incur a loss of your entire investment in the Company.
Following is management’s discussion of the relevant items affecting results of operations for the years ended September 30, 2024, and 2023.
Revenues. The Company generated $1,272,800 and $0 in revenues during the years ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, respectively. The revenues for year-end 2024 were generated by our newly acquired wholly owned subsidiary, The Awareness Group, LLC (“TAG”), and are a direct result of TAG’s operations.
Cost of Sales. Our cost of sales for the years ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, were $1,005,341 and $0, respectively. This increase is a result of the operations of TAG. We expect revenues and corresponding cost of sales to increase year over year as we continue grow and expand operations through TAG.
Stock Based Compensation. Stock based compensation for the years ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, was $254,000 and $351,000, respectively, a decrease of $97,000 which was driven by the change in management in conjunction with the acquisition of TAG.
Professional Fees. Professional fees for the year ended September 30, 2024 were $26,364 as compared to $40,380 for the year ended September 30, 2023. Professional fees consist mainly of the fees related to the audits and reviews of the Company’s financial statements as well as the filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We anticipate that professional fees will increase in future periods as we scale up our operations.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.
Other selling, general and administrative expenses were $29,732 for the year ended September 30, 2024 as compared to $4,076 for the year ended September 30, 2023. We anticipate that Other SG&A expenses will increase commensurate with an increase in our operations.
Other Income (Expense). The Company had net other income of $(20,426) for the year ended September 30, 2024. For the year ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded a gain on extinguishment of debt of $34,000 and incurred interest expense of $8,620. The Company had net other income of $(399,918) for the year ended September 30, 2023. For the year ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded a gain on extinguishment of debt of $7,382 and incurred interest expense of $11,844.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2024, our primary source of liquidity consisted of $95,815 in cash and cash equivalents. We hold most of our cash reserves in local checking accounts with local financial institutions. Since inception, we have financed our operations through a combination of short and long-term loans, and through the private placement of our common stock
We have sustained significant net losses which have resulted in an accumulated deficit at September 30, 2024 of $9,950,869 and are currently experiencing a substantial shortfall in operating capital which raises doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We generated a net loss for the year ended September 30, 2024 of $42,637. Without additional revenues, working capital loans, or equity investment, there is substantial doubt as to our ability to continue operations.
We believe these conditions have resulted from the inherent risks associated with small public companies. Such risks include, but are not limited to, the ability to (i) generate revenues and sales of our products and services at levels sufficient to cover our costs and provide a return for investors, (ii) attract additional capital in order to finance growth, and (iii) successfully compete with other comparable companies having financial, production and marketing resources significantly greater than those of the Company, and (iv) increasing costs associated with maintaining public company reporting requirements.
We believe that our capital resources are insufficient for ongoing operations, with minimal current cash reserves, particularly given the resources necessary to expand our multi-media entertainment business. We will likely require considerable amounts of financing to make any significant advancement in our business strategy. Other than the agreement discussed below, there is presently no agreement in place that will guarantee financing for our Company, and we cannot assure you that we will be able to raise any additional funds, or that such funds will be available on acceptable terms. Funds raised through future equity financing will likely be substantially dilutive to current shareholders. Lack of additional funds will materially affect our Company and our business, and may cause us to substantially curtail or even cease operations. Consequently, you could incur a loss of your entire investment in the Company.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
Critical Accounting Policies
We believe the following more critical accounting policies are used in the preparation of our financial statements:
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. On a periodic basis, management reviews those estimates, including those related to valuation allowances, loss contingencies, income taxes, and projection of future cash flows.
Research and Development. Research and development costs are charged to operations when incurred and are included in operating expenses.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
There were various accounting standards and interpretations recently issued, none of which are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, operations, or cash flows.
MANAGEMENT’S PLAN TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN
In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. Management’s plans to obtain such resources for the Company include (1) obtaining capital from the sale of its securities, and (2) short-term borrowings from shareholders or related party when needed. However, management cannot provide any assurance that the Company will be successful in accomplishing any of its plans.
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding paragraph and eventually secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations.
Our independent registered public accounting firm’s report contains an explanatory paragraph which has expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, which may hinder our ability to obtain future financing.
Forward-Looking Statements
All statements contained in this prospectus that are not historical facts, including statements regarding anticipated activity, are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws, involve a number of risks and uncertainties and are based on our beliefs and assumptions and information currently available to us. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “objective,” “plan,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “project,” “potential,” “forecast,” “continue,” “strategy,” or “position” or the negative of such terms or other variations of them or by comparable terminology. In particular, statements, express or implied, concerning future actions, conditions or events, future operating results or the ability to generate sales, income or cash flow are forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, some of which are beyond our control and difficult to predict and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements, including:
Other uncertainties that could affect the accuracy of forward-looking statements include:
| · | the worldwide economic situation; |
| | |
| · | any changes in interest rates or inflation; |
| | |
| · | the willingness and ability of third parties to honor their contractual commitments; |
| | |
| · | our ability to raise additional capital, as it may be affected by current conditions in the stock market and competition for risk capital; |
| | |
| · | our capital expenditures, as they may be affected by delays or cost overruns; |
| | |
| · | environmental and other regulations, as the same presently exist or may later be amended; |
| | |
| · | our ability to identify, finance and integrate any future acquisitions; and |
| | |
| · | the volatility of our common stock price. |
This list is not exhaustive of the factors that may affect any of our forward-looking statements. You should read this report completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. These forward-looking statements represent our beliefs, expectations and opinions only as of the date of this report. We do not intend to update these forward-looking statements except as required by law. We qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements.

Summary of SPA
On January 30, 2025, the Company entered into the SPA by and among the Company, and Selling Stockholder pursuant to which Selling Stockholder has agreed to purchase up to $10,000,000 of the Company's common stock to be sold at a price equal to (i) 80% of the average of the two (2) lowest volume weighted average prices (“VWAP”) of the Company’s Common Stock if the VWAP is less than or equal to $0.25 per share; (ii) 85% of the average of the two (2) lowest VWAPs of the Company’s Common Stock if the VWAP is between $0.26 and $0.50 per share; (iii) 88% of the average of the two (2) lowest VWAPs of the Company’s Common Stock if the VWAP is between $0.51 and $0.99 per share; and (iv) 90% of the average of the two (2) lowest VWAPs of the Company’s Common Stock if the VWAP is greater than or equal to $1.00 per share. Furthermore, the put shares issuable from the SPA must be registered with the SEC in a current registration statement and Selling Stockholder shall only be required to purchase up to 9.99% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company. The registration rights of Selling Stockholder are outlined in the Registration Rights Agreement filed as an exhibit to this report and details the obligations of the Company. The SPA terminates after 24 months.
Under applicable SEC rules and relevant Exchange Act Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations, we are registering 105,000,000 shares of common stock that may be issued pursuant to the SPA and sold by the Selling Stockholder. However, because the actual date and price per share for the issuance of shares under the SPA is unknown, the actual purchase price for the shares is unknown. Accordingly, we caution readers that, although we are registering 105,000,000 shares, the number of shares issued from the SPA may be substantially greater than the number of shares being registered hereunder.
The Selling Stockholder has engaged [Broker-Dealer Name] to act as broker-dealer in connection with the sale by the Selling Stockholder of the shares, offered pursuant to the Prospectus. For its services, [Broker-Dealer Name] will be reimbursed for certain expenses, not to succeed $10,000, and receive a commission of 4.5% of any sales in addition to its customary fees and charges. The Selling Stockholder does not now, nor has it ever, engaged in any material market making activities such as short selling of the Company’s securities or other hedging activities.
Other than as set forth above, there are no trading volume requirements or restrictions under the SPA. With respect to the SPA, we will control the timing and amount of any sales of our common stock to Selling Stockholder.
Investing in the Company through the SPA carries several material risks. One significant risk is the potential dilutive effect of the pricing mechanism used to issue new shares, which can adversely impact the Company's existing shareholders by lowering the overall share price. This dilution occurs as new shares are introduced to the market, potentially outpacing demand and further driving down the stock's value.
Additionally, there is a risk that the Company may not be able to access the full amount available under the equity line. Factors such as market conditions, the Company's financial performance, or regulatory constraints could limit the amount of capital the Company can raise through this mechanism. If access to the full equity line is restricted, the Company may face funding shortfalls that could hinder its operations and growth prospects, ultimately affecting investor returns.
Conditions to Sales
Under the SPA, the following conditions must be satisfied in order for us to sell shares of our common stock to Selling Stockholder:
| · | The registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, and any amendment or supplement thereto, must be declared effective for the sale of our shares to Selling Stockholder. |
| | |
| · | Our representations and warranties contained in the SPA must be true and correct in all material respects (except for representations and warranties specifically made as of a particular date), except for any conditions that have temporarily caused any representations or warranties to be incorrect and which have been corrected with no continuing impairment to us or Selling Stockholder. |
| | |
| · | We must have performed in all material respects all covenants, agreements and conditions required by the SPA to be performed, satisfied or complied with by us. |
| | |
| · | No statute, rule, regulation, executive order, decree, ruling or injunction has been enacted, entered, promulgated or adopted by any court or governmental authority of competent jurisdiction that prohibits or directly and materially adversely affects any of the transactions contemplated by the SPA, and no proceeding has been commenced that may have the effect of prohibiting or materially adversely affecting any of the transactions contemplated by the SPA. |
| | |
| · | The trading of our common stock has not been suspended by the SEC, the principal trading market for our common stock or Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. and our common stock has been approved for listing or quotation on and has not been delisted from such principal market. |
| | |
| · | The number of shares of our common stock to be purchased by Selling Stockholder at a particular closing may not exceed the number of shares that, when aggregated with all other shares of common stock then beneficially owned by Selling Stockholder, would result in Selling Stockholder owning more than 9.99% of all of our outstanding common stock. |
| | |
| · | We must have no knowledge of any event more likely than not to have the effect of causing the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part to be suspended or otherwise ineffective. |
SPA Termination Rights
We have the unconditional right, at any time, for any reason and without any payment or liability to us, to give notice to Selling Stockholder to terminate the SPA.
No Short-Selling by the Selling Stockholder
The Selling Stockholder has agreed that neither they nor any of their respective affiliates shall engage in any direct or indirect short-selling of our common stock during any time prior to the termination of the SPA.

Director Independence
Because our common stock is listed on OTC Pink and it does not have a definition for "independence", we have used the definition of “independence” of The NASDAQ Stock Market to make this determination. NASDAQ Listing Rule 5605(a)(2) provides that an “independent director” is a person other than an officer or employee of the Company or any other individual having a relationship which, in the opinion of the Company’s board of directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. The NASDAQ listing rules provide that a director cannot be considered independent if:
| · | the director is, or at any time during the past three years was, an employee of the company; |
| · | the director or a family member of the director accepted any compensation from the company in excess of $120,000 during any period of 12 consecutive months within the three years preceding the independence determination (subject to certain exclusions, including, among other things, compensation for board or board committee service); |
| · | a family member of the director is, or at any time during the past three years was, an executive officer of the company; |
| · | the director or a family member of the director is a partner in, controlling stockholder of, or an executive officer of an entity to which the company made, or from which the company received, payments in the current or any of the past three fiscal years that exceed 5% of the recipient’s consolidated gross revenue for that year or $200,000, whichever is greater (subject to certain exclusions); |
| · | the director or a family member of the director is employed as an executive officer of an entity where, at any time during the past three years, any of the executive officers of the company served on the compensation committee of such other entity; or the director or a family member of the director is a current partner of the company’s outside auditor, or at any time during the past three years was a partner or employee of the company’s outside auditor, and who worked on the company’s audit. |
Based on these criteria, we have two independent directors. We do not have an audit committee, compensation committee or nominating committee.
Compensation of Directors
Although we anticipate compensating the members of our board of directors in the future at industry levels, current members are not paid cash compensation for their service as directors. Each director may be reimbursed for certain expenses incurred in attending board of directors and committee meetings.
Board of Directors Meetings and Committees
Although various items were reviewed and approved by the Board of Directors via unanimous written consent during the two fiscal years ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Board held no formal meetings.
We do not have Audit or Compensation Committees of our board of directors. Because of the lack of financial resources available to us, we also do not have an “audit committee financial expert” as such term is described in Item 401 of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC.
Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
We are required to identify each person who was an officer, director or beneficial owner of more than 10% of our registered equity securities during our most recent fiscal year and who failed to file on a timely basis reports required by Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
To our knowledge, during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024, based solely upon a review of such materials as are required by the Securities and Exchange Commission, no other officer, director, or beneficial holder of more than ten percent of our issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock failed to timely file with the Securities and Exchange Commission any form or report required to be so filed pursuant to Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act of 1934.
Code of Ethics
The Company expects that its Officers and Directors will maintain appropriate standards of honesty and ethical conduct in connection with the performance of their duties on behalf of the Company. In recognition of this expectation, the Company has adopted a Code of Ethics. The purpose of this Code of Ethics is to codify standards the Company believes are reasonably necessary to deter wrongdoing and to promote honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships and full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that the Company files with, or submits to, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), or other regulatory bodies and in other public communications made by the Company.
CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
None.
EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
The following table summarizes the total compensation for the two fiscal years ended September 30, 2024, of each person who served as our principal executive officer or principal financial and accounting officer collectively, (the “Named Executive Officers”) including any other executive officer who received more than $100,000 in annual compensation from the Company. Executive compensation has been accrued and unpaid. We did not award cash bonuses, stock awards, stock options or non-equity incentive plan compensation to any Named Executive Officer during the two years ended September 30, 2024, thus these items are omitted from the table below:

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
The Selling Stockholder is offering up to 105,000,000 shares of our common stock for resale in quoted or private transactions, at fixed or negotiated prices.

Distributions may be paid to the holders of our common stock if, as and when authorized by our board of directors and declared by us out of assets legally available therefor. Shares of our common stock have no preemptive, conversion or redemption rights and are freely transferable, except where their transfer is restricted by federal and state securities laws or by contract. In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, each share of our common stock would be entitled to share ratably in all of our assets that are legally available for distribution after we pay all debts and other liabilities and subject to any preferential rights of holders of our preferred stock, if any preferred stock is outstanding at such time. Each share of our common stock is entitled to one vote on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders, including the election of directors.

Pursuant to our charter and under the Florida Business Corporation Act (hereafter, the “FBCA”), our directors are not liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty, except for liability in connection with a breach of duty of loyalty, for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, for authorization of illegal dividend payments or stock redemptions under Florida law or any transaction from which a director has derived an improper personal benefit. Our charter provides that we are authorized to provide indemnification of (and advancement of expenses) to our directors, officers, employees and agents (and any other persons to which applicable law permits us to provide indemnification) through Bylaw provisions, agreements with such persons, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
We have previously entered into indemnification agreements with certain of our current directors and officers. The indemnification agreement indemnifies the indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by law, including against third-party claims and claims by or in right of the Company or any subsidiary or majority-owned partnership of the Company by reason of that person (including the advancement of expenses subject to certain conditions) (a) being a director, officer employee or agent of the Company, or of any subsidiary or majority-owned partnership of the Company or (b) serving at our request as a director, officer, employee or agent of another entity. If appropriate, we are entitled to assume the defense of the claim with counsel selected by us and approved by the indemnitee (which approval may not be unreasonably withheld). Separate counsel employed by the indemnitee will be at his or her own expense unless (1) the employment of separate counsel has been previously authorized by us, (2) the indemnitee reasonably concludes there may be a conflict of interest or (3) we have not, in fact, employed counsel to assume the defense of such claim.
Disclosure of Commission Position on Indemnification for Securities Act Liabilities
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the provisions above, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and is, therefore, unenforceable.
In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities, other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by one of our directors, officers, or controlling persons in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding, is asserted by one of our directors, officers, or controlling persons in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and we will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
Provisions of the FBCA and Our Charter and Bylaws
Our charter and bylaws provide that our board of directors will have the exclusive power to make, alter, amend or repeal any provision of our bylaws.
Business Combinations
Section 607 of the FBCA, is applicable to corporations organized under the laws of the State of Florida. Subject to certain exceptions set forth therein, Section 607 of the FBCA provides that a corporation shall not engage in any business combination with any “interested stockholder” for a three-year period following the date that such stockholder becomes an interested stockholder unless (a) prior to such date, the board of directors of the corporation approved either the business combination or the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, (b) upon consummation of the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced (excluding certain shares) or (c) on or subsequent to such date, the business combination is approved by the board of directors of the corporation and by the affirmative vote of at least 66 2/3% of the outstanding voting stock which is not owned by the interested stockholder. Except as specified therein, an interested stockholder is defined to mean any person that (1) is the owner of 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation; or (2) is an affiliate or associate of the corporation and was the owner of 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation at any time within three years immediately prior to the relevant date, and the affiliates and associates of such person referred to in clause (1) or (2) of this sentence. Under certain circumstances, Section 607 of the FBCA makes it more difficult for an interested stockholder to effect various business combinations with a corporation for a three-year period, although the stockholders may, by adopting an amendment to the corporation’s charter or by-laws, elect not to be governed by this section, effective twelve months after adoption. Our charter and by-laws do not exclude us from the restrictions imposed under Section 607 of the FBCA. It is anticipated that the provisions of Section 607 of the FBCA may encourage companies interested in acquiring us to negotiate in advance with the board of directors.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2024
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS
Freedom Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) is a for profit corporation established under the corporation laws in the State of Maryland, United States of America on June 15, 2005.
Since inception and up until the September 17, 2024 merger with The Awareness Group (“TAG”), the Company has devoted substantially all its efforts to establishing a new business. The Company generated expenses and limited revenue from these efforts.
The Company’s activities are subject to significant risks and uncertainties including failure to generate sufficient cash flows from operating activities and the ability to secure additional funding if needed to properly execute the Company’s business plan.
The Company has adopted a September 30 fiscal year end.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
FREEDOM HOLDINGS, INC.
a/k/a
FREEDOM ACQUISITION CORP
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2024
(Unaudited)
Basis of presentation
The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, which include the accounts for TAG and its majority owned subsidiaries including Candela Coin, Captain Manicorn and Standard Eco. Any non-controlling interests associated with these subsidiaries is separately disclosed in the financial statements.
All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
We maintain our cash in bank deposit accounts, the balances of which at times may exceed federally insured limits. We continually monitor our banking relationships and consequently have not experienced any losses in our accounts. We don’t believe we are exposed to any significant credit risk with cash.
Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value is estimated by applying the following hierarchy, which prioritize the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels and bases the categorization with the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement.
The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3).
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurement” are described below:
Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.
FREEDOM HOLDINGS, INC.
a/k/a
FREEDOM ACQUISITION CORP
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2024
(Unaudited)
Level 2 - Inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g. interest rates); and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
Level 3 - Inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.
The Company’s cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted market prices. The carrying amounts of accounts payable, advances payable and short-term loans approximate their fair value due to short term maturities.
Revenue Recognition
The Company has adopted Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, “Revenue From Contracts With Customers”. Specifically, the Company recognizes revenue from the sale and installation of solar systems on a milestone basis. As these milestones are achieved the corresponding costs and revenue are recognized. To the extent that financing is provided, the Company recognizes interest over the term of the financing arrangement.
All other revenues are recognized as services are provided or rights of ownership have transferred.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales is principally comprised of equipment and labor. These costs are recognized as they are incurred.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2024, and September 30, 2024 were $121,347 and $95,815, respectively.
Inventories
Inventories consist of internally created crypto tokens that are held for sale. The tokens are adjusted to fair value based on current market prices.
Property, Plant & Equipment
Property, plant & equipment are recorded at cost. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation and amortization of property, plant and equipment are determined using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives shown below.
Building and improvements | | 35 years |
Equipment, furniture & fixtures | | 5 years |
Vehicles | | 5 years |
Software | | 3 years |
Leasehold improvements | | The lesser of the lease term or the estimated useful life |

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2024
(Unaudited)
Depreciation expense for the three months ended December 31, 2024 was $7,090. There was no depreciation expense for the three months ended December 31, 2023.
Net income (loss) per common share
Net income (loss) per common share is computed pursuant to section 260-10-45 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially outstanding shares of common stock during the period. There are no potentially dilutive shares of common stock.
Share-based expense
ASC 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation”, prescribes accounting and reporting standards for all share-based payment transactions in which employee services are acquired. Transactions include incurring liabilities, or issuing or offering to issue shares, options, and other equity instruments such as employee stock ownership plans and stock appreciation rights. Share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, are recognized as compensation expense in the consolidated financial statements based on their fair values. That expense is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award, known as the requisite service period (usually the vesting period).
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation issued to non-employees and consultants in accordance with the provisions of ASC 505-50, “Equity – Based Payments to Non-Employees”. Measurement of share-based payment transactions with non-employees is based on the fair value of whichever is more reliably measurable: (a) the goods or services received; or (b) the equity instruments issued. The fair value of the share-based payment transaction is determined at the earlier of performance commitment date or performance completion date.
There was no share-based expense for the three month periods ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes”, as clarified by ASC 740-10, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”. Under this method, deferred income taxes are determined based on the estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities and net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards given the provisions of enacted tax laws. Deferred income tax provisions and benefits are based on changes to the assets or liabilities from year to year. In providing for deferred taxes, the Company considers tax regulations of the jurisdictions in which the Company operates, estimates of future taxable income, and available tax planning strategies. If tax regulations, operating results or the ability to implement tax-planning strategies vary, adjustments to the carrying value of deferred tax assets and liabilities may be required. Valuation allowances are recorded related to deferred tax assets based on the “more likely than not” criteria of ASC 740.
ASC 740-10 requires that the Company recognize the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the “more-likely-than-not” threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. The Company has applied for an extension of time to file with the Internal Revenue Service for its most recent tax filing.

FREEDOM ACQUISITION CORP
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2024
(Unaudited)
The Company recognizes expenses for tax penalties and interest assessed by the Internal Revenue Service and other taxing authorities upon receiving valid notice of assessments. The Company has received no such notices as of December 31, 2024.
In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all the deferred tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences will become deductible. The Company considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. The Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets because it is not currently able to conclude that it is more likely than not that these assets will be realized. The amount of deferred tax assets considered to be realizable could be increased in the near term if estimates of future taxable income during the carryforward period are increased.
As of December 31, 2024, the Company had unused net operating loss carry forwards of $258,000 available to reduce future federal taxable income. The Company’s ability to offset future taxable income, if any, with net operating loss tax carryforwards may be limited due to the non-filing of tax returns. Under the CARES act, net operating losses arising after 2017 can be carried forward indefinitely. Furthermore, changes in ownership may result in limitations under Internal Revenue Code Section 382.
Related Parties
The Company follows ASC 850, “Related Party Disclosures” for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements
The Company has reviewed the FASB issued ASU accounting pronouncements and interpretations thereof that have effectiveness dates during the periods reported and in future periods. The Company has carefully considered the new pronouncements that alter previous generally accepted accounting principles and do not believe that any new or modified principles will have a material impact on the Company’s reported financial position or operations in the near term. The applicability of any standard is subject to the formal review of the Company’s financial management.
Reclassifications
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified for comparison with current periods.
NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN
As reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company only began generating revenue with the TAG transaction on September 17, 2024 and has an accumulated deficit of $2,631,517 at December 31, 2024. The Company generated consolidated net income after non-controlling interest of $7,292,314 for the three-month period ended December 31, 2024, but until the Company can demonstrate the ability to consistently generate net income and cash flows sufficient to support operating activities, substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern will remain.
The financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Management has evaluated subsequent events pursuant to the requirements of ASC Topic 855, from the balance sheet date through the date the financial statements were available to be issued and has determined that there are no material subsequent events that require disclosure in these financial statements other than the following transaction.
On January 25, 2025, the Company acquired a 51% majority ownership in Renewable Energy Products Manufacturing Corp. (REPM), a leading provider of innovative commercial solar energy solutions. This strategic move is expected to integrate seamlessly into the TAG GRID and significantly enhance the Company's renewable energy capabilities, reinforcing the Company's commitment to sustainable energy development.
Like other acquisitions TAG has made, TAG will provide support and leadership in growing the REPM business in exchange for the 51% ownership interest. No cash or other consideration was paid by TAG. At the completion of the defined integration period, TAG will have the option to purchase the remaining 49% ownership interest in REPM for a multiple of EBITDA generated during the integration period.
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Freedom Holdings, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Freedom Holdings, Inc. (the ‘Company’) as of September 30, 2024, and 2023, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity / (deficit) and cash flows for each of the two years ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2024, and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3, the Company suffered an accumulated deficit of $(9,950,869), net loss of $(20,426). These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans with regards to these matters are also described in Note 3 to the financial statements. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
Critical audit matters are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. Communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements taken as a whole and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2024 AND 2023
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS
Freedom Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) is a for profit corporation established under the corporation laws in the State of Maryland, United States of America on June 15, 2005.
Since inception and up until the September 17, 2024 merger with The Awareness Group (“TAG”) (see Note 4 – Merger Transaction) the Company has devoted substantially all its efforts to establishing a new business. The Company generated expenses and limited revenue from these efforts.
The Company’s activities are subject to significant risks and uncertainties including failure to generate sufficient cash flows from operating activities and the ability to secure additional funding if needed to properly execute the Company’s business plan.
The Company has adopted a September 30 fiscal year end.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of presentation
The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, which include the accounts for TAG and its majority owned subsidiaries including Candela Coin, Captain Manicorn and Standard Eco. Any non-controlling interests associated with these subsidiaries is separately disclosed in the financial statements.
All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
We maintain our cash in bank deposit accounts, the balances of which at times may exceed federally insured limits. We continually monitor our banking relationships and consequently have not experienced any losses in our accounts. We don’t believe we are exposed to any significant credit risk with cash.
Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value is estimated by applying the following hierarchy, which prioritize the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels and bases the categorization with the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement.
The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3).
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurement” are described below:
Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.
Level 2 - Inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g. interest rates); and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
Level 3 - Inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.
The Company’s cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted market prices. The carrying amounts of accounts payable, advances payable and short-term loans approximate their fair value due to short term maturities.
Revenue Recognition
The Company has adopted Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, “Revenue From Contracts With Customers”. Specifically, the Company recognizes revenue from the sale and installation of solar systems on a milestone basis. As these milestones are achieved the corresponding costs and revenue are recognized. To the extent that financing is provided, the Company recognizes interest over the term of the financing arrangement.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales is principally comprised of equipment and labor. These costs are recognized as they are incurred.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents for the years ended September 30, 2024, and 2023 were $95,815 and $588, respectively.
Inventories
Inventories consist of internally created crypto tokens that are held for sale. The tokes are adjusted to fair value based on current market prices.
Property, Plant & Equipment
Property, plant & equipment are recorded at cost. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation and amortization of property, plant and equipment are determined using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives shown below.
Building and improvements | | 35 years |
Equipment, furniture and fixtures | | 5 years |
Software | | 3 years |
Leasehold improvements | | The lesser of the lease term or the estimated useful life |
There was no depreciation expense for the years ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively as the Company had no depreciable property, plant & equipment prior to the TAG transaction. Depreciation of the property, plant & equipment acquired as part of the TAG transaction began in October 2024.
Net income (loss) per common share
Net income (loss) per common share is computed pursuant to section 260-10-45 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially outstanding shares of common stock during the period. The weighted average number of common shares outstanding and potentially outstanding common shares assumes that the Company incorporated as of the beginning of the first period presented. There are no potentially dilutive shares of common stock.
FREEDOM HOLDINGS, INC
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2024 AND 2023
Share-based expense
ASC 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation”, prescribes accounting and reporting standards for all share-based payment transactions in which employee services are acquired. Transactions include incurring liabilities, or issuing or offering to issue shares, options, and other equity instruments such as employee stock ownership plans and stock appreciation rights. Share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, are recognized as compensation expense in the consolidated financial statements based on their fair values. That expense is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award, known as the requisite service period (usually the vesting period).
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation issued to non-employees and consultants in accordance with the provisions of ASC 505-50, “Equity – Based Payments to Non-Employees”. Measurement of share-based payment transactions with non-employees is based on the fair value of whichever is more reliably measurable: (a) the goods or services received; or (b) the equity instruments issued. The fair value of the share-based payment transaction is determined at the earlier of performance commitment date or performance completion date.
Share-based expense was $254,000 and $351,000 for the years ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes”, as clarified by ASC 740-10, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”. Under this method, deferred income taxes are determined based on the estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities and net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards given the provisions of enacted tax laws. Deferred income tax provisions and benefits are based on changes to the assets or liabilities from year to year. In providing for deferred taxes, the Company considers tax regulations of the jurisdictions in which the Company operates, estimates of future taxable income, and available tax planning strategies. If tax regulations, operating results or the ability to implement tax-planning strategies vary, adjustments to the carrying value of deferred tax assets and liabilities may be required. Valuation allowances are recorded related to deferred tax assets based on the “more likely than not” criteria of ASC 740.
ASC 740-10 requires that the Company recognize the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the “more-likely-than-not” threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. The Company has applied for an extension of time to file with the Internal Revenue Service for its most recent tax filing.
The Company recognizes expenses for tax penalties and interest assessed by the Internal Revenue Service and other taxing authorities upon receiving valid notice of assessments. The Company has received no such notices as of September 30, 2024.
In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all the deferred tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences will become deductible. The Company considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. The Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets because it is not currently able to conclude that it is more likely than not that these assets will be realized. The amount of deferred tax assets considered to be realizable could be increased in the near term if estimates of future taxable income during the carryforward period are increased.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2024 AND 2023
As of September 30, 2024, the Company had unused net operating loss carry forwards of $258,000 available to reduce future federal taxable income. The Company’s ability to offset future taxable income, if any, with net operating loss tax carryforwards may be limited due to the non-filing of tax returns. Under the CARES act, net operating losses arising after 2017 can be carried forward indefinitely. Furthermore, changes in ownership may result in limitations under Internal Revenue Code Section 382.
Related Parties
The Company follows ASC 850, “Related Party Disclosures” for the identification of related parties and disclosure of related party transactions.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements
The Company has reviewed the FASB issued ASU accounting pronouncements and interpretations thereof that have effectiveness dates during the periods reported and in future periods. The Company has carefully considered the new pronouncements that alter previous generally accepted accounting principles and do not believe that any new or modified principles will have a material impact on the Company’s reported financial position or operations in the near term. The applicability of any standard is subject to the formal review of the Company’s financial management.
NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN
As reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company only began generating revenue with the TAG transaction on September 17, 2024 (see Note 4 – Merger Transaction) and has an accumulated deficit of $9,950,869 at September 30, 2024. Further, the Company had a net loss of $20,426 and $399,918 for the years ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
The financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 4 – MERGER TRANSACTON
On September 9, 2024, the Company entered into a Merger Agreement with TAG. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the closing of the transaction, TAG was acquired as a wholly owned subsidiary. The transaction closed on September 17, 2024. Since that date, TAG’s operating results have been included in the Company’s consolidated results and all assets and liabilities have been included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.
Under the Merger Agreement, the TAG shareholders received 32,740,942 shares of the Company’s Common Stock and 10,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock in exchange for assigning their LLC membership interests in TAG to the Company. As a result of the Merger, the Company is the sole member of TAG and TAG shareholders are the majority shareholders of the Company. Although shares were agreed to be exchanged as outlined, completion of all share exchanges was not fully completed until December 2024.

NOTE 12 – INCOME TAXES
Deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company has evaluated Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 regarding the impact of the decreased tax rates of the Tax Cuts & Jobs Act. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment. The U.S. federal income tax rate of 21% is being used due to the new tax law recently enacted.
The provision for Federal income tax consists of the following at September 30:
| | 2024 | | | 2023 | |
Federal income tax benefit attributable to: | | | | | | |
Current Operations | | $ | 4,000 | | | $ | 84,000 | |
Less: valuation allowance | | | (4,000 | ) | | | (84,000 | ) |
Net provision for Federal income taxes | | $ | — | | | $ | — | |
The cumulative tax effect at the expected rate of 21% of significant items comprising our net deferred tax amount is as follows at September 30:
| | 2024 | | | 2023 | |
Deferred tax asset attributable to: | | | | | | |
Net operating loss carryover | | $ | 258,000 | | | $ | 254,000 | |
Less: valuation allowance | | | (258,000 | ) | | | (254,000 | ) |
Net deferred tax asset | | $ | — | | | $ | — | |
At September 30, 2024, the Company had net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $258,000 that maybe offset against future taxable income. No tax benefit has been reported in the September 30, 2024 or 2023 financial statements since the potential tax benefit is offset by a valuation allowance of the same amount.
On December 22, 2017, the U.S. government enacted comprehensive tax legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Cut and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”). The Tax Act establishes new tax laws that effect 2018 and future years, including a reduction in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate to 21% effective January 1, 2018.
Due to the change in ownership provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, net operating loss carry forwards for Federal income tax reporting purposes are subject to annual limitations. Should a change in ownership occur, net operating loss carry forwards may be limited as to use in future years.
ASC Topic 740 provides guidance on the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company’s financial statements. Topic 740 requires a company to determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination based upon the technical merits of the position. If the more-likely-than-not threshold is met, a company must measure the tax position to determine the amount to recognize in the financial statements.
The Company includes interest and penalties arising from the underpayment of income taxes in the statements of operations in the provision for income taxes. At September 30, 2024, the Company had no accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions.
NOTE 13 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement;
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fideoffering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
(5) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities: The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 (§ 230.424 of this chapter);
(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant.

(i) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(7) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
