EXPLANATORY NOTE
We are filing this General Form for Registration of Securities on Form 10 to register our common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), pursuant to Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).
Once this registration statement is deemed effective, we will be subject to the requirements of Regulation 13A under the Exchange Act, which will require us to file annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, and current reports on Form 8-K.

The Company has recently announced the signing of a definitive agreement for the acquisition of Ballengee Group’s baseball operations. Ballengee Group is a sports management company currently managing both Major League and Minor League baseball players. A more detailed summary of the acquisition is set forth in Note 14 “Subsequent Events” in the Notes to the Financial Statements for the years ended March 31, 2024 and 31, 2023 set forth below. There are no guarantees that the acquisition of the Ballengee Group will be completed.
We are filing this Form 10 to begin reporting requirements to ensure our stockholders’ liquidity in their shares going forward, and to provide transparency to the market.
We are filing this Amendment No. 1 to Form 10 to (i) include the Company’s unaudited financial statements and related management’s discussion and analysis for the three and six month periods ending June 30, 2024: and (ii) include certain events in “Note 12: Subsequent Events” to the financial statements.
SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Form 10 and the sections entitled “Risk Factors”, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Business” included in this Form 10, contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21(E) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). These forward-looking statements include, without limitation: statements regarding proposed new products or services; statements concerning litigation or other matters; statements concerning projections, predictions, expectations, estimates or forecasts for our business, financial and operating results and future economic performance; statements of our management’s goals and objectives; statements concerning our competitive environment, availability of resources and regulation; trends affecting our financial condition, results of operations or future prospects; our financing plans or growth strategies; and other similar expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts. Words such as “may”, “will”, “should”, “could”, “would”, “predicts”, “potential”, “continue”, “expects”, “anticipates”, “future”, “intends”, “plans”, “believes” and “estimates,” and variations of such terms or similar expressions, are intended to identify such forward-looking statements.
Our actual results may differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, the forward-looking statements in this Form 10, any supplements or amendments thereto or in any of the documents that we incorporate by reference into the registration statement of which this Form 10 forms a part, including, among other things:
| ● | our ability to generate sufficient revenue and profitability in the future; |
| ● | the risk that significant disruptions of information technology systems or security breaches could materially adversely affect our business; |
| ● | any defects or disruptions in our products or services could diminish demand for such products or services and subject us to substantial liability; |
| ● | our ability to keep pace with changing industry technology and consumer preferences, develop and introduce new products and services; |
| ● | our ability to obtain additional capital required to finance our product development and sales and marketing efforts; |
| ● | our ability to protect our intellectual property rights adequately may not be certain and the impact of claims by others that we infringe on their intellectual property rights could increase our expenses and delay the development of our business; |
| ● | our ability to identify, hire, and retain management, engineering and sales and marketing personnel; |
| ● | the potential strain on our resources, including our employee base, during periods of rapid growth and expansion; |
| ● | our dependence on contract manufacturers and the harm to our production and products if they are unable to meet our volume and quality requirements and alternative sources are not available; |
| ● | our products and technologies may not be accepted by the intended commercial consumers of our products; and |
| ● | other risks and uncertainties discussed under the caption “Risk Factors” in this Form 10. |
The foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. For further information about these and other risks, uncertainties and factors affecting our business and prospects, please review the disclosures contained in this Form 10. You should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statement or information speaks only as of the date on which it is made. Except as expressly required under federal securities laws and the rules and regulations of the SEC, we expressly disclaim any intent or obligation to update any forward-looking statements or risk factors, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time by or on behalf of us or our subsidiaries, whether as a result of new information, future events or changed circumstances or for any other reason after the date of such forward-looking statements or risk factors. All forward-looking statements attributable to us are expressly qualified by these cautionary statements.
Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company
We are currently not subject to the ongoing reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) because we did not register our securities under the Exchange Act. Rather, we intend to continue to provide limited disclosure and financial information under the alternative reporting with OTC Markets to meet the minimum requirement for public quoting under Rule 15c2-11until this Registration Statement is declared effective.
When we become subject to the ongoing reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, as an issuer with less than $1.07 billion in total annual gross revenues during our last fiscal year, we will qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”) and this status will be significant. An emerging growth company may take advantage of certain reduced reporting requirements and is relieved of certain other significant requirements that are otherwise generally applicable to public companies. In particular, as an emerging growth company we:
| ● | will not be required to obtain an auditor attestation on our internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to the Sarbanes- Oxley Act of 2002; |
| | |
| ● | will not be required to provide a detailed narrative disclosure discussing our compensation principles, objectives and elements and analyzing how those elements fit with our principles and objectives (commonly referred to as “compensation discussion and analysis”); |
| | |
| ● | will not be required to obtain a non-binding advisory vote from our stockholders on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements (commonly referred to as the “say-on-pay,” “say-on-frequency” and “say-on-golden-parachute” votes); |
| | |
| ● | will be exempt from certain executive compensation disclosure provisions requiring a pay-for-performance graph and CEO pay ratio disclosure; |
| | |
| ● | may present only two years of audited financial statements and only two years of related Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, or MD&A; and |
| | |
| ● | will be eligible to claim longer phase-in periods for the adoption of new or revised financial accounting standards. |
We intend to take advantage of all of these reduced reporting requirements and exemptions, including the longer phase-in periods for the adoption of new or revised financial accounting standards under Section 107 of the JOBS Act. Our election to use the phase-in periods may make it difficult to compare our financial statements to those of non-emerging growth companies and other emerging growth companies that have opted out of the phase-in periods under Section 107 of the JOBS Act.
Under the JOBS Act, we may take advantage of the above-described reduced reporting requirements and exemptions for up to five years after our initial sale of common equity pursuant to a registration statement declared effective under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or such earlier time that we no longer meet the definition of an emerging growth company. In this regard, the JOBS Act provides that we would cease to be an “emerging growth company” if we have more than $1.07 billion in annual revenues, have more than $700 million in market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates, or issue more than $1 billion in principal amount of non-convertible debt over a three-year period.
Certain of these reduced reporting requirements and exemptions are also available to us due to the fact that we also qualify, once this Registration Statement is declared effective, as a “smaller reporting company” under the SEC’s rules. For instance, smaller reporting companies are not required to obtain an auditor attestation on their assessment of internal control over financial reporting; are not required to provide a compensation discussion and analysis; are not required to provide a pay-for-performance graph or CEO pay ratio disclosure; and may present only two years of audited financial statements and related MD&A disclosure.
Item 1. Business.
General
Scepter Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on January 11, 2007. The Company manages the sales and brand development of high-performance consumer packaged goods. The Company seeks to acquire or license performing brands to add to the Company’s portfolio of products and brands sold online and through strategic retail relationships and then by utilizing its AI based, proprietary software – Adapti – to maximize the products successful through the use of the appropriate social media influencers. The Company is distributing, marketing, programming and selling online consumer packaged goods.
The Company has no parent entity and does not own any wholly owned or majority-owned subsidiaries.
The Company manages the sales and brand development of high-performance consumer packaged goods. On or around the date of this filing the Company was actively selling Dermacia branded cosmetics (dermaciapro.com) through its related websites and other online marketplaces. The Company is actively developing line extensions under the established brands, and actively working to add new brands to its product portfolio. The Company is also actively developing Adapti, an artificial intelligence-based influencer software application designed to match products and influencers.
Recent Transactions
The Company has recently announced the signing of a definitive agreement for the acquisition of Ballengee Group’s baseball operations. Ballengee Group is a sports management company currently managing both Major League and Minor League baseball players. The merger is expected to close in the third or fourth quarter of 2024.
In addition, the Company announced an agreement with Jeff Campbell, an experienced executive with social media management and sports management to become its CEO immediately following the completion of the merger with the Ballengee Group.
Business Overview
In 2018, we began selling our own licensed products direct to consumers through the acquisition of the product formulation, inventory and customer list of Dermacia, a line of skin care and healthcare products (dermaciapro.com) In 2019, we began marketing to our customers through the use of social media such as Instagram, Facebook and other applications, and it became apparent that we needed to employ social media influencers that had specialization in marketing products similar to ours to our desired demographics. We quickly discovered that identifying the appropriate influencers and determining the proper amount to pay for this type of marketing proved to be extremely difficult if not nearly impossible. www.scepterbrands.com
In 2021, we decided that we would need to develop our own software system that would go out and scrape a number of social media applications and help us to determine the most effective influencers for our specific product line. We hired a number of programmers and after several years we created Adapti. Essentially, the Adapti platform is a AI system that creates a proprietary ‘data fingerprint’ for client products data and even the entire company. It then matches them with influencers best positioned to succeed in promotion. Adapti also leverages AI to determine which influencers will generate the most attention - in specifically curated audiences - to produce the most positive ROI on client spend.
Adapti also continually analyzes proprietary data for each specific campaign as additional feedback to inform ongoing promotions and to further refine its algorithm and monetize accumulated data.
At the same time, as we had programming capabilities, we took on several outsourced projects to generate limited income and fully deploy our personnel.
In 2023, we began beta testing Adapti and in 2024 ran a few live transactions utilizing Adapti in a production environment in assisting with the sale of Dermacia. Adapti is expected to become a part of the strategy with the Ballengee Acquisition to assist the Ballengee clients with its social media opportunities. However, Adapti has not generated any revenues.
Ballengee Group Acquisition
In March 2024, we entered into a definitive Merger Agreement to purchase the Ballengee Group’s baseball division in a $47 million transaction that is a combination of stock and Company promissory notes. The Ballengee Group is a sports agency that primarily specializes in representing athletes in Major League Baseball and Minor League Baseball prospects. The Ballengee group generated approximately $12 million in revenues and $4 million in EBIDTA for 2022, 2023 and 2024. The Ballengee group EBIDTA is expected to substantial surpass the 2022 EBITDA as several of the Ballengee clients have signed large, long term contracts in 2024.
The Ballengee group has a track record of negotiating over $1 billion in contracts, and brings together a preeminent lineup of experienced agents, business executives, and lawyers with unmatched experience in all areas of clients’ career, including equipment and off-the-field endorsement deals. In addition, the Ballengee Group has negotiated over $300 million in draft bonuses and has had 32 of the top 100 picks in the last five drafts. As a value-add to its agency services, the Ballengee group also provides sports marketing resources which include, but are not limited to, equipment procurement, baseball card, memorabilia, and brand marketing deals.
The closing of the Merger Agreement is subject to closing conditions several of which are outside of the control of the Company. The Company cannot provide any guarantees or assurances that the closing of the Merger Agreement will occur, or if the closing does occur, that the financial results for the Ballengee Group will be as expected by the Company.
Expected Impact
The Company’s influencer marketing software, Adapti, was created to solve the critical question that currently plagues brand marketing groups - how to identify the best product and influencer fit that will result in an optimal return on advertising spend. We expect that Adapti’s AI based software will address this gap by providing quantitative recommendations that identify the best influencers to represent a product and/or the best products for an influencer to promote. However, Adapti has not been tested on a large scale and we don’t know if it will actually produce the results that we expect. The Company has only generated between $13,000 and $15,000 in sales of the Dermacia brand annually.
The Company believes that the acquisition of the Ballengee group will have an immediate impact and drive additional revenue opportunities for both the Company and Ballengee clients. Utilizing Adapti, the Company expects to be able to efficiently and accurately target brands that align with Ballengee clients. Higher profile clients will benefit from national campaigns, with previously underutilized minor league clients securing local activations. Historically cost prohibitive to service the large number of low revenue generating clients, Adapti’s AI software provides a critical function by streamlining the process of identifying brand affinity and directing outreach efforts. These marketing engagements are expected to result in additional revenue for clients, the Ballengee Group and the Company. However, the Company cannot provide any assurances or guarantees that the acquisition will be completed, or if completed, it will result in additional revenues to the Company, as Adapti has not been tested on a larger scale. Adapti software could require substantial investment in developing the technology and artificial intelligence infrastructure to operate as we expect it.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.
An investment in our securities is highly speculative and involves a high degree of risk. In determining whether to purchase our securities, an investor should carefully consider all of the material risks described below, together with the other information contained in this report. Our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected by any of these risks or uncertainties. In that case, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment. An investor should only purchase our securities if he or she can afford to suffer the loss of his or her entire investment. These risks are not exclusive. Additional risks and uncertainties that are unknown to us, or that we currently deem immaterial, may impair our business operations. These risks may prevent us from achieving our business objectives, and may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
History of Operations — The Company has limited operating history upon which an Investor can base an investment decision.
The Company is an early-stage distribution company utilizing social media and its proprietary AI platform which might not be successful and therefore investors may lose their investment in the Company. Although the Company was formed on January 11, 2007, it has struggled to generate substantial sales and profitability and has tried to sell multiple products with limited success. It has been attempting to use social media and social media influencers to sell its products, but currently has had limited success and is unable to provide investors with significant data upon which an evaluation can be made of the Company’s prospects and an investment in its securities.
The Company cannot be certain that its business plan or the introduction of its AI based software for determining the best influencers to represent a product and/or the best products for a specific influencer to represent will be successful nor be able to generate substantial growth in sales. As an early-stage company, the Company will be particularly susceptible to the risks and uncertainties described in these risk factors and will be more likely to incur expenses associated with addressing them.
The Company cannot assure investors that it will be able to achieve any of its objectives, generate sufficient revenues to achieve or sustain profitability.
Actual Operating Results May Differ from Estimates — The Company’s actual operating results may differ from its initial estimates.
The Company’s operating results depend on marketing costs, public tastes, and promotional success. The Company expects to continue to generate its revenues from the sale of its products through the use of social media promotions. The ability of the Company to generate revenues depends on the success of its promotions and its AI based software. Accordingly, the Company’s revenues are, and will continue to be, difficult to forecast. For the years ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company only generated $13,672 and $15,447, respectively. For the six months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company generated $2,978 and $6 ,912, respectively.
Acquisition Closing — There is no guarantee the announced acquisition with the Ballengee Group will close.
The Company has executed a Merger Agreement for the acquisition of the Ballengee Group, a summary of which is set forth below in Note 14 “Subsequent Events” in the Notes to the Financial Statements for the years ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023. Although the Merger Agreement has been executed and announced, there are no guarantees that all of the contingencies within the Merger Agreement will be met or that the acquisition will close.
Acquisition Performance and Synergies — There is no guarantee the announced acquisition with the Ballengee Group will continue to perform or that the assumed synergies will emerge even if the acquisition closes.
The acquisition of the Ballengee Group would be a transformative acquisition for the Company that would be expected to bring over $10 million in annual revenues and $5 million in annual EBITDA to the Company. However, there is no guarantee that even if the acquisition closes, the combined company will be able to maintain such business or revenues and/or grow the business and revenues. It is also assumed that the AI based software product of the Company, Adapti, will be able to generate social media promotional opportunities for the athlete clients of Ballengee Group allowing for additional revenues and competitive advantages for the proposed combined businesses. However, there is no guarantee that such additional revenues or competitive advantages would be achieved.
Revenues — There is no guarantee revenues will remain consistent over time.
It is likely that revenues generated from the sale of our products and services, and the introduction of new products and services, will not remain consistent over time. Even if the Company is successful in selling and promoting a specific product or service, there are no guarantees that a sales from such particular product or services will continue to grow nor whether sales from a newly introduced product or service will have any success. For the years ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company only generated $13,672 and $15,447, respectively. For the six months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company generated $2,978 and $6 ,912, respectively.
Fluctuations in Operations — The Company’s operating results may fluctuate significantly.
The Company expects that its future operating results will fluctuate significantly as a result of, among other factors:
| ● | - The success of current products and services and newly introduced products and services; |
| | |
| ● | - The success of the company’s software to pick appropriate influencers for each existing and newly introduced products at proper costs; |
| | |
| ● | - The costs for production, distribute and promotion of the products and services; |
| | |
| ● | - The timing of receipt of proceeds generated by the sales; |
| | |
| ● | - The timing and magnitude of operating expenses and capital expenditures; |
| | |
| ● | - General economic conditions, including continued slowdown in spending. |
As a result, the Company believes that its results of operations may fluctuate significantly, and it is possible that the Company’s operating results could be below the expectations of investors.
Diversification — The Company’s success depends on a small number of products and services.
The most common way to diversify risk is to introduce multiple lines of products and services and offer and sell them through multiple channels. This diversification reduces the impact of the commercial success of a single product or service, or the impact of the failure of a product or service on Company’s overall financial health. Due to financial limitations, however, the Company is focused on a select group of products and services and are selling these products through the use of social media and the use of social media influencers. Although the Company plans to offer additional products and services, including the Adapti services and the agency services of the Ballengee Group upon the successful completion of the acquisition, it plans to concentrate its sales and promotional efforts of its products through this single sales channel so there will be a continued risk of a lack of diversification for investors.
Capital – Our business requires a substantial investment of capital, and we may have limited working capital and limited access to financing.
The promotion and marketing of our products and services along with the continued development and improvement to our software requires additional capital. Our cash requirements, at times, may exceed the level of cash generated by operations. Accordingly, we may have limited working capital. Capital available for these purposes will be reduced to the extent that we are required to use funds otherwise budgeted for capital investment to fund our operations. Curtailed investment over a sustained period could have a material adverse effect on future operating results and cash flows. Further, a significant amount of time may elapse between our expenditure of funds and the receipt of revenues from our television programs or motion pictures. This time lapse requires us to fund a significant portion of our capital requirements from our operating cash flow and from other financing sources. We cannot assure you that we will not be subject to substantial financial risks relating to our business growth.
Our ability to obtain adequate additional financing on satisfactory terms may be limited. With respect to equity financing, our ability to sell our equity securities depends on general market conditions, including the demand for our common stock. We may be unable to raise capital through the sale of equity securities, and if we were able to sell equity, our existing stockholders could experience substantial dilution. If adequate financing is not available at all or is unavailable on acceptable terms, we may find we are unable to fund expansion, continue offering products and services, take advantage of acquisition opportunities, develop or enhance services or products, or respond to competitive pressures in the industry. Any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, operating results, liquidity and prospects.
Our AI based Social Media Software, Adapti, is critical for the marketing and growth of our products
We have spent the past 3 years developing our Adapti software to assist in locating and negotiating promotional arrangements with social media influencers, and we now believe that the software has successfully completed beta testing and is ready for production launch. However, there is no guarantee that the software will operate as expected in a production environment nor be able to provide us with the assistance in obtaining the correct influencer to successfully market our products. If the software does not work as expected, the ability to sell our products and grow our business could be hampered.
In addition, if the software does not work as expected, we might be required to spend additional capital in software development. There are no guarantees that we will have the capital to spend in development nor be able to get the software to work as desired even if we do spend the capital. We also expect that we will need to spend additional capital in the future to further improve and maintain our software. There are no guarantees that we will have this capital to spend nor be able to successfully make the improvement as desired even if we do spend the capital.
Competition — There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to compete with substantially larger competitors.
There are numerous other companies selling products online through the use of social media influencers, and numerous other sports agencies representing athletes. The number of competitors and even very large competitors offering similar products and services in the market makes it difficult for the Company to succeed.
Reliance on Personnel — The Company depends on management to succeed.
To accomplish our objectives, we require a strong management team with expertise in both software development and product development and sales and marketing. Although we have entered into agreements with certain of our executive officers and contracts with our outsourced programming consultants, each of them may terminate its contract with us at any time. We do not maintain “key person” insurance for any of our executives or other employees. We may not be able to attract and retain these personnel on acceptable terms given the competition for personnel with similar qualifications. The loss of the services of any of our executive officers could impede our growth.
Pandemic – A resurgence of COVID-19 or a new pandemic could materially and adversely impact or disrupt our business.
The COVID-19 pandemic had significant negative short-term economic impacts. The long-term impact of COVID-19 on the U.S. and world economies remains uncertain. New restrictions due to a resurgence of COVID-19 or a similar pandemic, including social distancing guidelines, could restrict our business. Additionally, should such a resurgence or new pandemic occur, it could result in an extended world-wide economic downturn, the demand for our product may be reduced, which may adversely affect our business.
Supply Chain Disruptions — Changes in relationships with the Company’s vendor base and supply chain disruptions may adversely affect its business operations.
The Company generates revenue directly from the sale of merchandise to end users. The Company generally does not have long-term written contracts with its major suppliers that would require them to continue supplying merchandise. Recent supply chain disruptions, including labor availability, raw material shortages, and rising costs have placed constraints which may increase the Company’s costs of manufacturing merchandise and decrease product availability, which could negatively impact sales and profitability. To date, the Company has experienced only minor supply chain disruptions resulting in temporary delays in a limited number of products that have not materially impacted the overall financial results. However, in future, changes in relationships with the Company’s vendor base and supply chain disruptions may adversely affect its business operations.
Cybersecurity – Any significant disruption in or unauthorized access to our computer systems or those of third parties that we utilize in our operations, including those relating to cybersecurity or arising from cyber-attacks, could result in a loss or degradation of service, unauthorized disclosure of data, including corporate information, or theft of intellectual property, including digital content assets, which could adversely impact our business.
Our reputation is dependent upon the reliable performance and security of our computer systems and those of third parties that we utilize in our operations. These systems may be subject to damage or interruption from, among other things, earthquakes, adverse weather conditions, other natural disasters, terrorist attacks, rogue employees, power loss, telecommunications failures, and cybersecurity risks. Interruptions in these systems, or with the internet in general, could hinder our ability to produce and distribute the Series.
Our computer systems and those of third parties we use in our operations are subject to cybersecurity threats, including cyber- attacks such as computer viruses, denial of service attacks, physical or electronic break-ins and similar disruptions. These systems may experience directed attacks intended to lead to interruptions and delays in our service and operations as well as loss, misuse or theft of personal information (of third parties, employees, and our members) and other data, confidential information or intellectual property. Additionally, outside parties may attempt to induce employees, vendors, partners, or users to disclose sensitive or confidential information in order to gain access to data. Any attempt by hackers to obtain our data (including member and corporate information) or intellectual property (including digital content assets), or otherwise access our systems, or those of third parties we use, if successful, could harm our business, be expensive to remedy and damage our reputation.
Financing — We may seek additional capital that may result in stockholder dilution or that may have rights senior to those of our common stockholders.
From time to time, we may seek to obtain additional capital, either through equity, equity-linked or debt securities. The decision to obtain additional capital will depend on, among other things, our business plans, operating performance and condition of the capital markets. Any disruption in the capital markets could make it more difficult and expensive for us to raise additional capital or refinance our existing indebtedness. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity, equity-linked or debt securities, those securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to the rights of our common stock, and our stockholders may experience dilution.
Smaller Reporting Company — We are a “smaller reporting company” and we cannot be certain if the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to smaller reporting companies will make our securities less attractive to investors.
We are a “smaller reporting company,” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act, and we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies, including “emerging growth companies” such as, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. Our status as a smaller reporting company is determined on an annual basis. We cannot predict if investors will find our securities less attractive or our Company less comparable to certain other public companies because we will rely on these exemptions. For example, if we do not adopt a new or revised accounting standard, our future financial results may not be as comparable to the financial results of certain other companies in our industry that adopted such standards.
Public Company Reporting Requirements — The requirements of being a reporting public company may strain our resources, divert management’s attention and affect our ability to attract and retain additional executive management and qualified board members.
As a reporting public company, we will be subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and the Dodd-Frank Act, and other applicable securities rules and regulations. Compliance with these rules and regulations will increase our legal and financial compliance costs, make some activities more difficult, time-consuming, or costly and increase demand on our systems and resources, particularly after we are no longer a “smaller reporting company.” The Exchange Act requires, among other things, that we file annual, quarterly, and current reports with respect to our business and results of operations. As a “smaller reporting company,” we receive certain reporting exemptions under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
Changing laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure create uncertainty for public companies, increase legal and financial compliance costs and increase time expenditures for internal personnel. These laws, regulations and standards are subject to interpretation, in many cases due to their lack of specificity, and their application in practice may evolve over time as regulators and governing bodies provide new guidance. These changes may result in continued uncertainty regarding compliance matters and may necessitate higher costs due to ongoing revisions to filings, disclosures and governance practices. We intend to invest resources to comply with evolving laws, regulations and standards, and this investment may result in increased general and administrative expenses and a diversion of management’s time and attention from revenue-generating activities to compliance activities. If our efforts to comply with new laws, regulations and standards differ from the activities intended by regulatory or governing bodies due to ambiguities related to their application and practice, regulatory authorities may initiate regulatory or legal proceedings against us and our business may be adversely affected.
As a public company under these rules and regulations, we expect that it may make it more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance, and we may be required to accept reduced coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain coverage. These factors could also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified directors and officers.
Shareholder Approval — Three stockholders currently owns 59.7% of the total shares issued and outstanding, and as a result, collectively. controls all matters requiring shareholder approval.
Market Group International (an entity controlled by Robert Van Boerum, a former director), Stuff International (an entity controlled by Adam Nicosia, our President/Chief Executive Officer and a director) and Vivakor, Inc. together control the Company through the ownership approximately 59.7% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock. As a result, these controlling stockholders will control the outcome of all decisions at the Company’s shareholder meetings and will be able to elect a majority of the members of our board of directors. These stockholders able to direct our actions in areas such as business strategy, financing, distributions, acquisitions and dispositions of assets or businesses. For example, our controlling stockholders may cause us to make acquisitions that increase the amount of our indebtedness or outstanding shares of Common Stock or inhibit change of control transactions that may benefit other stockholders. The decisions of our controlling stockholders on these matters may be contrary to your expectations or preferences, and they may take actions that could be contrary to your interests. So long as our controlling shareholder beneficially owns a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock, even if they beneficially own significantly less than 50% of our outstanding share capital, they will be able to effectively control our decisions.
In addition, if the proposed merger with Ballengee Group is completed, the owners of the Ballengee group will own more than 50% of the total shares outstanding on an as converted basis and will thus be in a position of control. There are also certain restrictions on corporate actions that have been agreed upon in the definitive merger agreement and will take effect when and if we close the transaction.
Unauthorized disclosure of cardholder and patron data or similar violations of applicable data privacy laws, whether through a security breach of our computer systems, our third-party processor’s computer systems or otherwise, or through our unauthorized use or transmission of such data could subjects us to costly fines, penalties, and legal claims.
We collect and store personally identifiable information about patrons, including names, addresses, and account numbers, and we maintain a database of patron data. We also rely on our third-party processor and certain other technology partners to process and store patron data. As a result, we, as well as our third-party processor, and certain of our other technology providers, are required to comply with various foreign, federal, and state privacy statutes and regulations. Compliance with these regulations and requirements, which are subject to change at any time, is often difficult and costly, and our failure, or the failure of these other third parties, to comply may result in significant fines or civil penalties, regulatory enforcement action, liability to our sponsor bank, and termination of our agreements with our customers, each of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, operations, or cash flows. If our computer systems or those of our third-party processor or other technology providers suffer a security breach, we may be subject to liability, including claims for unauthorized transactions with misappropriated bank card information, impersonation, or similar fraud claims, as well as for any failure to comply with laws governing required notifications of such a breach, and these claims could result in protracted and costly litigation, penalties, or sanctions, and damage to our reputation, which could adversely impact our financial results.
Material Weakness - In prior periods we identified certain material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting. If our internal controls are not effective, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results or prevent fraud.
While our internal controls over financial reporting are currently effective, we identified material weaknesses in our financial reporting in prior periods resulting from (i) an inability to segregate incompatible duties due to having a small finance group, and (ii) the failure to conduct an analysis relating to the consolidation of an acquired entity. In connection with these prior material weaknesses we implemented remediation measures including the hiring of a Chief Financial Officer and have made her in charge of the ongoing identification, design and implementation of internal control over financial reporting.
Notwithstanding our attempt to remediate prior material weaknesses, if we identify new material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, we may be late with the filing of our periodic reports, investors may lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports and we may not be able to prevent fraud. As a result of such failures, we could also become subject to investigations by the SEC or other regulatory authorities, and become subject to litigation from investors and stockholders, which could harm our reputation, financial condition or divert financial and management resources from our core business, and would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Acquisition Risk
There is no guarantee the announced acquisition with the Ballengee Group will continue to perform or that the assumed synergies will emerge even if the acquisition closes. This would be a transformative acquisition would be expected to bring over $10 million in annual revenues and $5 million in annual EBITA. However, there is no guarantee that even if the acquisition closes, the combined company will be able to maintain such business and/or grow the business. It is also assumed that the AI based software product of the Company, Adapti, will be able to generate social media promotional opportunities for the athlete clients of Ballengee Group allowing for additional revenues and competitive advantages for the proposed combined businesses. However, there is no guarantee that such additional revenues or competitive advantages would be achieved.
The Company intends to utilize social media and its proprietary AI platform to distribute products which might not work and might cause investors to lose their investment. The Company also cannot assure investors that it will be able to achieve any of its objectives, generate sufficient revenues to achieve or sustain profitability.
The Company cannot be certain that its business plan or the introduction of its AI based software for determining the best influencers to represent a product and/or the best products for a specific influencer to represent will be successful nor be able to generate substantial growth in sales. As an early-stage company, the Company will be particularly susceptible to the risks and uncertainties described in these risk factors and will be more likely to incur expenses associated with addressing them.
Penny Stock Rules —If our shares become subject to the penny stock rules, it would become more difficult to trade our shares.
The SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or authorized for quotation on certain automated quotation systems, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system. If we do not obtain or retain a listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market or if the price of our common stock falls below $5.00, our common stock will be deemed a penny stock. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, before a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document containing specified information. In addition, the penny stock rules require that before effecting any transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, a broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive (i) the purchaser’s written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement; (ii) a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks; and (iii) a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement. These disclosure requirements would likely have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our common stock, and therefore stockholders may have difficulty selling their shares.
FINRA Rules—FINRA sales practice requirements may limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.
In addition to the “penny stock” rules described above, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”), has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative, low-priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. The FINRA requirements may make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in our common stock. As a result, fewer broker-dealers may be willing to make a market in our common stock, reducing a stockholder’s ability to resell shares, as well as overall liquidity, of our common stock.

Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods. The SEC has defined a company’s critical accounting policies as the ones that are most important to the portrayal of a company’s financial condition and results of operations, and which require a company to make its most difficult and subjective judgments. Based on this definition, the Company has identified the critical accounting policies and judgments addressed below. Estimates are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Item 11. Description of Registrant’s Securities to be Registered.
The following is a summary of the material terms of the Company’s capital stock contained in the Company’s Articles of Incorporation and by-laws. The summaries and descriptions below do not purport to be complete statements of the relevant provisions of the Articles of Incorporation or of the by-laws and is qualified by reference to the full texts of such documents. The summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to these documents, which you should read (along with the applicable provisions of Nevada law) for complete information on the Company’s capital stock after the Effective Time. The Articles of Incorporation and by-laws are included as exhibits 3.1 and 3.2, respectively, to this registration statement on Form 10.
We are registering on this Form 10 only the shares of Common Stock, the terms of which are described below.
Authorized Capital Stock
The Company’s authorized capital stock consists of (a) 20,000,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $0.001 par value per share (“Common Stock”), (b) 20,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, $0.001 par value per share (“Preferred Stock”).
As of March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had 5,934,220,449 shares an 5,170,233,454 shares of Common Stock and zero shares of Preferred Stock issued and outstanding. All outstanding shares of Common Stock are fully paid and nonassessable.
Common Stock
The NRA provides that the holders of the Common Stock shall have one vote per share. In addition, except as otherwise required by law, as provided in this Articles of Incorporation, and as otherwise provided in the resolution or resolutions, if any, adopted by the Board with respect to any series of the Preferred Stock, on any matter presented to the holders of Common Stock and Preferred Stock for their action or consideration at any meeting of stockholders of the Company (or by written consent of stockholders in lieu of meeting), the holders thereof shall vote together as a single class.
Holders of the Common Stock will have no preemptive or conversion rights or other subscription rights. The Bylaws of the Company provide that the holders of Common Stock shall not have a right to cumulative voting. The rights, preferences, and privileges of the holders of the Common Stock are subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of shares of any series of preferred stock that the Company may designate and issue in the future. Additionally, the Bylaws may be amended by the Company’s stockholders or the Board of Directors.
Preferred Stock
There are no shares of Preferred Stock outstanding as of March 31, 2024 and 2023. The Company has filed a Certificate of Designations with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada for the twenty million (20.,000,000) shares of Preferred Stock providing that the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions granted to and imposed on the Preferred Stock of the Company are as follows: stockholders shall be entitled to one vote per share; shall be senior to common stock and shall have a conversion price to Common Stock subject to board approval; and conversion to Common Stock may occur after a year, at the election of the holder, or upon board approval. The Bylaws provide that the holders of Preferred Stock shall not have a right to cumulative voting.
Nevada Anti-Takeover Provisions
Some features of the Nevada Revised Statutes (“NRS”), which are further described below, may have the effect of deterring third parties from making takeover bids for control of us or may be used to hinder or delay a takeover bid. This would decrease the chance that our stockholders would realize a premium over market price for their shares of Common Stock as a result of a takeover bid. These provisions may also adversely affect the prevailing market price for shares of our Common Stock.
Acquisition of Controlling Interest
The NRS contains provisions governing acquisition of a controlling interest of a Nevada corporation. These provisions provide generally that any person or entity that acquires a certain percentage of the outstanding voting shares of a Nevada corporation may be denied voting rights with respect to the acquired shares, unless certain criteria are satisfied.
Combination with Interested Stockholder
The NRS contain provisions governing combinations of a Nevada corporation that has 200 or more stockholders of record with an “interested stockholder.” These provisions only apply to a Nevada corporation that, at the time the potential acquirer became an interested stockholder, has a class or series of voting shares listed on a national securities exchange, or has a class or series of voting shares traded in an “organized market” and satisfies certain specified public float and stockholder levels. As we do not now meet those requirements, we do not believe that these provisions are currently applicable to us. However, to the extent they become applicable to us in the future, they may have the effect of delaying or making it more difficult to affect a change in control of the Company in the future.
A corporation affected by these provisions may not engage in a combination within two years after the interested stockholder acquires his, her or its shares unless the combination or purchase is approved by the board of directors before the interested stockholder acquired such shares. Generally, if approval is not obtained, then after the expiration of the two-year period, the business combination may be consummated with the approval of the board of directors before the person became an interested stockholder or a majority of the voting power held by disinterested stockholders, or if the consideration to be received per share by disinterested stockholders is at least equal to the highest of:
| ● | the highest price per share paid by the interested stockholder within the three years immediately preceding the date of the announcement of the combination or within three years immediately before, or in, the transaction in which he, she or it became an interested stockholder, whichever is higher; |
| | |
| ● | the market value per share on the date of announcement of the combination or the date the person became an interested stockholder, whichever is higher; or |
| | |
| ● | if higher for the holders of preferred stock, the highest liquidation value of the preferred stock, if any. |
Generally, these provisions define an interested stockholder as a person who is the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly of 10% or more of the voting power of the outstanding voting shares of a corporation, and define combination to include any merger or consolidation with an interested stockholder, or any sale, lease, exchange, mortgage, pledge, transfer or other disposition, in one transaction or a series of transactions with an interested stockholder of assets of the corporation:
| ● | having an aggregate market value equal to 5% or more of the aggregate market value of the assets of the corporation; |
| | |
| ● | having an aggregate market value equal to 5% or more of the aggregate market value of all outstanding shares of the corporation; or |
| | |
| ● | representing 10% or more of the earning power or net income of the corporation. |
Size of Board and Vacancies
The Company’s Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws provide that the Board will consist of not less than one (1) or more than fifteen (15) members, with the exact number of directors to be fixed by resolution of the Board. The number of directors as of the date of this Form 10 is two (2).
The Bylaws provide that (i) vacancies on the Board or any committee thereof resulting from the death, resignation or removal of a director, may be filled only by a majority of the directors then in office, though less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director; and (ii) vacancies on the Board created by an increase to the number of directors shall be filled by the vote or approval of the stockholders. The directors so chosen shall, in the case of the Board, hold office until the next annual election and until their successors are duly elected and qualified, or until their earlier death, resignation or removal and, in the case of any committee of the Board, shall hold office until their successors are duly appointed by the Board or until their earlier death, resignation or removal. The Bylaws provide that a majority of the Board of Directors may declare vacant the office of a director if the director: (a) is adjudged incompetent by a court order; (b) is convicted of a crime involving moral turpitude; (c) or fails to accept the office of director, in writing or by attending a meeting of the Board of Directors, within thirty (30) days of notice of election.
Special Stockholder Meetings
Meetings of stockholders shall be held at such place within or without the State of Nevada as may be provided by the Bylaws of the Company. The President or any other executive officer of the Company, the Board of Directors, or any member may call special meetings of the stockholders, or by the record holder or holders of at least ten percent (10%) of all shares entitled to vote at the meeting. Any action otherwise required to be taken at a meeting of the stockholders, except election of directors, may be taken without a meeting if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by stockholders having at least a majority of the voting power.
Item 12. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 78.138 of the NRS provides that, subject to certain exceptions under Nevada law, unless the articles of incorporation or an amendment thereto provides for greater individual liability, a director or officer is not individually liable to the Company or its stockholders or creditors for any damages as a result of any act or failure to act in his or her capacity as a director or officer unless it is proven that (i) the director’s or officer’s act or failure to act constituted a breach of his or her fiduciary duties as a director or officer and (ii) the breach of those duties involved intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law. The Company’s Articles of Incorporation further provide that no director or officer of the Company shall have any personal liability to the Company or its stockholders for damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer, except that the Articles of Incorporation do not eliminate or limit the liability of a director or officer for (i) acts or omissions which involve intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law, or (ii) the payment of dividends in violation of the NRS.
Section 78.7502 of the NRS provides, in general, that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, except an action by or in the right of the corporation, by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the action, suit or proceeding if the person acted in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct was unlawful.
NRS Section 78.7502 also provides, in general, that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses, including amounts paid in settlement and attorneys’ fees actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the defense or settlement of the action or suit if the person acted in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation; provided, however, that indemnification may not be made for any claim, issue or matter as to which such a person has been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom, to be liable to the corporation or for amounts paid in settlement to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought or other court of competent jurisdiction determines upon application that in view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems proper.
Any indemnification pursuant to the above provisions may be made by the Company only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances. The determination must be made: (a) by the stockholders; (b) by the board of directors by majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding; (c) if a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding so orders, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion; or (d) if a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit or proceeding cannot be obtained, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion. The Company’s Articles of Incorporation and bylaws comply with Nevada law as set forth above.
The indemnification rights set forth above shall not be exclusive of any other right which an indemnified person may have or hereafter acquire under any bylaw provision, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in such person’s official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee, or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, and administrators of such person.
Pursuant to the Employment Agreement dated April 1, 2024 with Jeff Campbell, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, the Company has agreed to defend, indemnify, and hold Mr. Campbell harmless from and against any and all claims, damages, penalties or expenses arising from or in connection with the performance of Mr, Campbell’s job duties thereunder currently as a consultant to the Company and post-merger with the Ballengee Group, as CEO of the combined company.
Additionally, the Company may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under the provisions of the Company’s by-laws.

INDEX TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors
Scepter Holdings, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Scepter Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) as of March 31, 2024 and 2023 and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for the years then ended and the related notes to financial statements (collectively, the “financial statements”).
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2024, and 2023 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Substantial Doubt About the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company had operating losses for each of the years ended March 31, 2024, and March 31, 2023, has an accumulated deficit as of March 31, 2024 and 2023, and the Company has not completed its efforts to generate revenues to cover its operating costs. These factors raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2 and Note 13. The 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 audits. 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 Security 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 fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting 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
The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current audits of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to financial statements and (2) involved challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The 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 below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
An audit of these elements is especially challenging and requires auditor judgement due to the nature and extent of audit effort required to address these matters, including the extent of specialized skill or knowledge needed.
Assessment of reserves for slow-moving or potential obsolescence
As described in Note 3, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, and Note 5, Inventories to the financial statements, the Company had slow-moving and over-valued inventories. As part of our audit procedures, we (1) evaluated the title to the inventory by obtaining direct confirmation from the third party warehouse provider (2) reviewed the contract with the third party warehouse provider confirming that the Company had title to the inventory (3) reviewed gross margins, inventory turnovers and projected sales of current inventories and determined that the inventories were fully impaired as of March 31, 2024 and were materially impaired as of March 31, 2023 by approximately $400,000. Management recorded the adjustments to its inventories.
Accounting for Convertible Notes Payables and Notes Payable
As described in Note 3, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, and Note 7, Convertible Note Payable – Short Term and Note 8, Related Party Notes Payable, to the financial statements, the Company has convertible debentures. The Company determined that there were no variable conversion features for both the Convertible Notes Payable and the Notes Payable. Our audit procedures related to management’s conclusion on the evaluation and related valuation of embedded derivatives, included the following, among others: (1) evaluating the relevant terms and conditions of the various financings, (2) assessing the appropriateness of conclusions reached by the Company with respect to the accounting for the convertible debt, and the assessment and accounting for potential derivatives and potential bifurcation in the instruments, and (3) reviewing the considerations related to the determination of the fair value of the various debt and equity instruments and the conversion features that include valuation models and assumptions utilized by management. We confirmed management’s determination that the Convertible Notes Payable and the Notes Payable in Note 8 did not require accounting for derivatives.
Accounting for the Fair Value of Stock-Based Compensation
As described in Note 3, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, and Note 10, Stockholders’ Deficit, to the financial statements, the Company issued share-based compensation to consultants. Our audit procedures related to management’s conclusion on the evaluation and related valuation of stock-based compensation, included the following, among others: (1) evaluating the relevant terms and conditions of the various common stock issuances (2) evaluating the accounting consideration in determining the nature of the fair value of the common stock issued (3) evaluating the Company’s assertion that the Company’s stock is considered level one fair value, and value is based on the date the stock is issued, (4) reviewing each contract to ensure that the vesting terms were accurate and terms of conversion to equity was consistent with contracts, and (5) assessing the appropriateness of conclusions reached by the Company with respect to the accounting for the stock-based compensation.

1. | ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS |
In 2018, we began selling its own licensed products direct to consumers through the acquisition of the product formulation, inventory and customer list of Dermacia, a line of skin care and healthcare products. In 2019, we began marketing to our customers through the use of social media such as Instagram, Facebook and other applications, and it became apparent that we needed to employ social media influencers that had specialization in marketing products similar to ours to our desired demographics. We quickly discovered that identifying the appropriate influencers and determining the proper amount to pay for this type of marketing proved to be extremely difficult if not nearly impossible.
In 2021, we decided that we would need to develop our own software system that would go out and scrape a number of social media applications and help us to determine the most effective influencers for our specific product line. We hired a number of programmers and after several years have created Adapti. Essentially, the Adapti platform is a AI system that creates a proprietary ‘data fingerprint’ for client products data and even the entire company. It then matches them with influencers best positioned to succeed in promotion. Adapti also leverages AI to determine which influencers will generate the most attention - in specifically curated audiences - to produce the most positive ROI on client spend.
Adapti also continually analyzes proprietary data for each specific campaign as additional feedback to inform ongoing promotions and to further refine its algorithm and monetize accumulated data. At the same time, as we had programming capabilities, we took on several outsourced projects to generate some income and fully deploy our personnel.
As of March 31, 2024, the Company has incurred losses totalling $8,552,249 (2023 - $6,843,234) since inception, has not yet generated significant revenue from its operations, and will require additional funds to maintain our operations. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had a working capital deficit of $483,760 (2023 - $141,669) and incurred a loss for the year ended March 31, 2024 of $1,709,015 (2023 - $1,752,498).
The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate future profitable operations and to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they become due. The Company intends to finance operating costs over the next twelve months through continued financial support from its stockholders, the issuance of debt securities and private placements of common stock. Although it has not been able to raise funds in the last two years it has settled liabilities with share-based compensation and convertible debt. The Company expects if it is able to close the transaction with the Ballengee Group LLC (“BG”) that they will be able to generate sufficient cash flow from operations.
While the Company strongly believes that its capital resources will be sufficient in the near term, there is no assurance that the Company’s activities will generate sufficient revenues to sustain its operations without additional capital or, if additional capital is needed that such funds, if available, will be obtainable in terms of satisfactory to the Company.
The accompanying audited financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern; however, the above condition raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to do so. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

3. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) as promulgated in the United States of America.
All figures are in U.S. Dollars.
The fiscal year end is March 31.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the prior period have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications have no material effect on the reported financial results.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. The estimates and judgments will also affect the reported amounts for certain revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates and assumptions reflected in these financial statements include, but are not limited to, stock-based compensation, derivate instruments, accounting for preferred stock, and the valuation of acquired assets and liabilities. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, known trends and other market-specific or other relevant factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates when there are changes in circumstances, facts, and experience. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and on deposit at banking institutions as well as all highly liquid short-term investments with original maturities of 90 days or less. The Company had cash on hand of $702 as of March 31, 2024 and $7,172 as of March 31, 2023. The Company has no cash equivalents as of March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023.
Revenue Recognition
Under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Topic 606, “Revenue from Contacts with Customers” (“ASC 606”), the Company recognizes revenue when the customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which is expected to be received in exchange for those goods or services. The Company recognizes revenue following the five-step model prescribed under ASC 606: (i) identify contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the products to be sold in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the products in the contract; and (v) recognize revenues when (or as) the Company delivers the contracted product to the customer.
The Company recognizes revenue (i) when they receive a purchase order from the Amazon online system (ii) each purchase order identifies the quantity and products to be purchased (iii) each purchase order has the price including discounts, (iv) there is no requirement for allocation as each sku has a separate price, and (v) the Company recognizes revenue when the customer receives the product from Amazon within a matter of days.
Accounts Receivable
The Company does not currently maintain reserves for potential credit losses on accounts receivable in accordance with ASC 326 Financial Instruments Credit Losses since the balances are so small and the average purchase from our customers is less than $100. Management reviews the composition of accounts receivable and analyzes historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns to evaluate the adequacy of these reserves. Reserves are recorded primarily on a specific identification basis. As of March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, the Company did not have an allowance for doubtful accounts.

Inventories
Inventories, consists of skin care products that the Company currently has on hand and available for sale. The inventory is primarily accounted for using the first-in-first-out (“FIFO”) method and are valued at the lower of cost or market value. Inventories on hand are evaluated on an on-going basis to determine if any items are obsolete or in excess of future market needs. Items determined to be obsolete are reserved for. As of March 31, 2024, and March 31, 2023, the Company determined that there should be a reserve for inventory for the fiscal year ended 2023. The inventory reserve as of March 31, 2023 is $398,752. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024 the Company wrote down inventory to zero and therefore there is no longer a reserve. See Note 5 for additional details.
Long-Lived Assets
The Company periodically tests its long-lived assets for impairment when certain triggering events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may be impaired. The Company recognizes an impairment loss when the sum of expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. The amount of impairment is measured as the difference between the asset’s estimated fair value and its book value. Fair value is an estimate using assumptions about future cash flows and may change significantly as time passes. The Company did not recognize any impairment charges for the ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023 since there are no long-lived assets.
Convertible Debt
When the Company issues convertible debt, it first evaluates the balance sheet classification of the convertible instrument in its entirety to determine whether the instrument should be classified as a liability under ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, and second whether the conversion feature should be accounted for separately from the host instrument. A conversion feature of a convertible debt instrument or certain convertible preferred stock would be separated from the convertible instrument and classified as a derivative liability if the conversion feature, were it a standalone instrument, meets the definition of an “embedded derivative” in ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. Generally, characteristics that require derivative treatment include, among others, when the conversion feature is not indexed to the Company’s equity, as defined in ASC 815-40, or when it must be settled either in cash or by issuing stock that is readily convertible to cash. When a conversion feature meets the definition of an embedded derivative, it would be separated from the host instrument and classified as a derivative liability carried on the balance sheet at fair value, with any changes in its fair value recognized currently in the statements of operations.
Stock-Based Compensation
ASC 718, “Compensation - Stock Compensation”, prescribes accounting and reporting standards for all share-based payment transactions in which employee services are acquired. Transactions include incurring liabilities, or issuing or offering to issue shares, options, and other equity instruments such as employee stock ownership plans and stock appreciation rights. Share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, are recognized as compensation expense in the financial statements based on their fair values. That expense is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award, known as the requisite service period (usually the vesting period).

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR YEARS ENDED MARCH 31, 2024 AND 2023
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.
Income Taxes
We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which the temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are recorded, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”), which clarifies the accounting and disclosure for uncertainty in tax positions, as defined, seeks to reduce the diversity in practice associated with certain aspects of the recognition and measurement related to accounting for income taxes. We adopted the provisions of ASC 740 as of January 1, 2007 and have analyzed filing positions in each of the federal and state jurisdictions where we are required to file income tax returns, as well as all open tax years in these jurisdictions. We have identified the U.S. federal and California as our “major” tax jurisdictions. With limited exceptions, we remain subject to Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) examination of our income tax returns filed within the last three (3) years, and to California Franchise Tax Board examination of our income tax returns filed within the last four (4) years. However, we have certain tax attribute carryforwards which will remain subject to review and adjustment by the relevant tax authorities until the statute of limitations closes with respect to the year in which such attributes are utilized.
At March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, the Company recognized a full valuation allowance against the recorded deferred tax assets.
We believe that our income tax filing positions and deductions will be sustained on audit and do not anticipate any adjustments that will result in a material change to our financial position. Therefore, no reserves for uncertain income tax positions have been recorded pursuant to ASC 740. Our policy for recording interest and penalties associated with income-based tax audits is to record such items as a component of income taxes.
Fair Value Measurements
When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, we consider the principal or most advantageous market in which we would transact and consider assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and risk of non-performance. We use the following three levels of inputs in determining the fair value of our assets and liabilities, focusing on the most observable inputs when available:
| ● | Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities. |
| ● | Level 2 - Quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. |
| ● | Level 3 - Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable. |
To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is disclosed is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The balances of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, convertible notes payable, related party notes payable and EIDL loan all reflect fair market value due to their short term maturities or realization.
Net Loss per Share
The Company follows ASC 260, “Earnings per Share” (“EPS”), which requires presentation of basic EPS on the face of the income statement for all entities with complex capital structures and requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation. In the accompanying financial statements, basic earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.
Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities were exercised or converted into common stock or other contracts to issue common stock resulting in the issuance of common stock that would then share in the Company’s earnings subject to anti-dilution limitations. In a period in which the Company has a net loss, all potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the computation of diluted shares outstanding as they would have an anti-dilutive impact.
For the years ended March 31, 2024, and March 31, 2023, potentially dilutive common shares consist of common stock issuable upon the conversion of convertible notes payable. All potentially dilutive securities related to these convertible notes payable were excluded from the computation of diluted weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding as they would have had an anti-dilutive impact.

Comprehensive Income
ASC 220, Comprehensive Income, establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive loss and its components in the financial statements. During the years ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, the Company did not have any component of comprehensive income.
Contingencies
The Company follows ASC 450-20, “Loss Contingencies” to report accounting for contingencies. Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines and penalties and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the assessment can be reasonably estimated. There were no loss contingencies as of March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” (“ASU 2016-02”) which supersedes existing guidance on accounting for leases in “Leases (Topic 840).” The standard requires lessees to recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from leases on the balance sheet. A lessee should recognize in the balance sheet a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. The new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The amendments should be applied at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach with earlier application permitted as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. The Company evaluated the effects of adopting ASU 2016-02 on its financial statements and determined that there are no leases for evaluation.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. This ASU enhances the disclosures related to segment reporting for public entities. It requires entities to disclose significant segment expenses for each reportable segment, providing greater transparency in segment performance. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating how this ASU will impact its financial statements and disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. This ASU enhances the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. It is designed to provide more detailed information about an entity’s income tax expenses, liabilities, and deferred tax items, potentially affecting how companies report and disclose their income tax-related information. The ASU is effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating how this ASU will impact its financial statements and disclosures.
Management does not believe any other recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements would have a material effect on our present or future financial statements.

NOTE 11 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Lease Commitments
The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. This determination generally depends on whether the arrangement conveys to the Company the right to control the use of an explicitly or implicitly identified fixed asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Control of an underlying asset is conveyed to the Company if the Company obtains the rights to direct the use of and to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from using the underlying asset. The Company has lease agreements which include lease and non-lease components, which the Company has elected to account for as a single lease component for all classes of underlying assets. Lease expense for variable lease components are recognized when the obligation is probable.
Operating lease right of use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Operating lease payments are recognized as lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company primarily leases buildings (real estate) which are classified as operating leases. ASC 842 requires a lessee to discount its unpaid lease payments using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, its incremental borrowing rate. As an implicit interest rate is not readily determinable in the Company’s leases, the incremental borrowing rate is used based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments.
The lease term for all of the Company’s leases includes the non-cancellable period of the lease plus any additional periods covered by either a Company option to extend (or not to terminate) the lease that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise, or an option to extend (or not to terminate) the lease controlled by the lessor. Options for lease renewals have been excluded from the lease term (and lease liability) for the majority of the Company’s leases as the reasonably certain threshold is not met.
Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability are comprised of fixed payments, variable payments that depend on index or rate, and amounts probable to be payable under the exercise of the Company option to purchase the underlying asset if reasonably certain.
Variable lease payments not dependent on a rate or index associated with the Company’s leases are recognized when the event, activity, or circumstance in the lease agreement on which those payments are assessed as probable. Variable lease payments are presented as operating expenses in the Company’s income statement in the same line item as expense arising from fixed lease payments. As of March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, management determined that there were no variable lease costs.
Litigation
There is no pending, threatened or actual legal proceedings in which the Company is a party.

NOTE 12: INCOME TAXES
The actual income tax provision differs from the “expected” tax computed by applying the Federal corporate tax rate of 21% to the income before income taxes as follows:
| | Year Ended March 31, | |
| | 2024 | | | 2023 | |

Other | | | - | | | | - | |
Income tax provision | | $ | - | | | | - | |
The change in the valuation allowance is due to the tax effect of increase in net operating losses due to our continued net losses.
The tax effects of temporary differences which give rise to significant portions of the deferred taxes are summarized as follows:

As of March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, we have $3,979,078 and $2,270,063 in net operating loss carryforwards for federal and state income tax purposes. In assessing the realizability of the deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. We consider the scheduled reversal of deferred tax assets, the level of historical taxable income and tax planning strategies in making the assessment of the realizability of deferred tax assets. We have identified the U.S. federal and California as our “major” tax jurisdiction. With limited exceptions, we remain subject to IRS examination of our income tax returns filed within the last three (3) years, and to California Franchise Tax Board examination of our income tax returns filed within the last four (4) years.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE
THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2024 AND 2023
1. | ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS |
In 2018, we began selling its own licensed products direct to consumers through the acquisition of the product formulation, inventory and customer list of Dermacia, a line of skin care and healthcare products. In 2019, we began marketing to our customers through the use of social media such as Instagram, Facebook and other applications, and it became apparent that we needed to employ social media influencers that had specialization in marketing products similar to ours to our desired demographics. We quickly discovered that identifying the appropriate influencers and determining the proper amount to pay for this type of marketing proved to be extremely difficult if not nearly impossible.
In 2021, we decided that we would need to develop our own software system that would go out and scrape a number of social media applications and help us to determine the most effective influencers for our specific product line. We hired a number of programmers and after several years have created Adapti. Essentially, the Adapti platform is a AI system that creates a proprietary ‘data fingerprint’ for client products data and even the entire company. It then matches them with influencers best positioned to succeed in promotion. Adapti also leverages AI to determine which influencers will generate the most attention - in specifically curated audiences - to produce the most positive ROI on client spend.
Adapti also continually analyzes proprietary data for each specific campaign as additional feedback to inform ongoing promotions and to further refine its algorithm and monetize accumulated data. At the same time, as we had programming capabilities, we took on several outsourced projects to generate some income and fully deploy our personnel.
As of September 30, 2024, the Company has incurred losses totalling $8,983,124 (March 31, 2024 - $8,552,249) since inception, has not yet generated significant revenue from its operations, and will require additional funds to maintain our operations. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had a working capital deficit of $818,802 (2024 - $483,760) and incurred a loss for the three months and six months ended September 30, 2024 of $152,842 and $430,875 (June 30, 2023 - $471,886 and $991,195).
The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate future profitable operations and to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they become due. The Company intends to finance operating costs over the next twelve months through continued financial support from its stockholders, the issuance of debt securities and private placements of common stock. Although it has not been able to raise funds in the last two years it has settled liabilities with share-based compensation and convertible debt. The Company expects to close the transaction with the Ballengee Group LLC (“BG”) (Note 15) that they will be able to generate sufficient cash flow from operations.
While the Company strongly believes that its capital resources will be sufficient in the near term, there is no assurance that the Company’s activities will generate sufficient revenues to sustain its operations without additional capital or, if additional capital is needed that such funds, if available, will be obtainable in terms of satisfactory to the Company.
The accompanying condensed financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern; however, the above condition raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to do so. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2024 AND 2023
3. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) as promulgated in the United States of America.
All figures are in U.S. Dollars.
The fiscal year end is March 31.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the prior period have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications have no material effect on the reported financial results.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. The estimates and judgments will also affect the reported amounts for certain revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates and assumptions reflected in these financial statements include, but are not limited to, stock-based compensation, derivate instruments, accounting for preferred stock, and the valuation of acquired assets and liabilities. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, known trends and other market-specific or other relevant factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates when there are changes in circumstances, facts, and experience. Changes in estimates are recorded in the period in which they become known. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and on deposit at banking institutions as well as all highly liquid short-term investments with original maturities of 90 days or less. The Company had cash on hand of $36,163 as of September 30, 2024 and $702 March 31, 2024 . The Company has no cash equivalents as of September 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024.
Revenue Recognition
Under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Topic 606, “Revenue from Contacts with Customers” (“ASC 606”), the Company recognizes revenue when the customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which is expected to be received in exchange for those goods or services. The Company recognizes revenue following the five-step model prescribed under ASC 606: (i) identify contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the products to be sold in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the products in the contract; and (v) recognize revenues when (or as) the Company delivers the contracted product to the customer.
The Company recognizes revenue (i) when they receive a purchase order from the Amazon online system (ii) each purchase order identifies the quantity and products to be purchased (iii) each purchase order has the price including discounts, (iv) there is no requirement for allocation as each sku has a separate price, and (v) the Company recognizes revenue when the customer receives the product from Amazon within a matter of days.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE
THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2024 AND 2023
Accounts Receivable
The Company does not currently maintain reserves for potential credit losses on accounts receivable in accordance with ASC 326 Financial Instruments Credit Losses since the balances are so small and the average purchase from our customers is less than $100. Management reviews the composition of accounts receivable and analyzes historical bad debts, customer concentrations, customer credit worthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer payment patterns to evaluate the adequacy of these reserves. Reserves are recorded primarily on a specific identification basis. As of September 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024, the Company did not have an allowance for doubtful accounts.
Inventories
Inventories, consists of skin care products that the Company currently has on hand and available for sale. The inventory is primarily accounted for using the first-in-first-out (“FIFO”) method and are valued at the lower of cost or market value. Inventories on hand are evaluated on an on-going basis to determine if any items are obsolete or in excess of future market needs. Items determined to be obsolete are reserved for. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024, the Company wrote down inventory to zero and therefore there is no longer a reserve. See note 5 for additional details.
Long-Lived Assets
The Company periodically tests its long-lived assets for impairment when certain triggering events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may be impaired. The Company recognizes an impairment loss when the sum of expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. The amount of impairment is measured as the difference between the asset’s estimated fair value and its book value. Fair value is an estimate using assumptions about future cash flows and may change significantly as time passes. The Company did not recognize any impairment charges for three and six months ended September 30, 2024 and for the year ended March 31, 2024 since there are no long-lived assets.
Convertible Debt
When the Company issues convertible debt, it first evaluates the balance sheet classification of the convertible instrument in its entirety to determine whether the instrument should be classified as a liability under ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, and second whether the conversion feature should be accounted for separately from the host instrument. A conversion feature of a convertible debt instrument or certain convertible preferred stock would be separated from the convertible instrument and classified as a derivative liability if the conversion feature, were it a standalone instrument, meets the definition of an “embedded derivative” in ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. Generally, characteristics that require derivative treatment include, among others, when the conversion feature is not indexed to the Company’s equity, as defined in ASC 815-40, or when it must be settled either in cash or by issuing stock that is readily convertible to cash. When a conversion feature meets the definition of an embedded derivative, it would be separated from the host instrument and classified as a derivative liability carried on the balance sheet at fair value, with any changes in its fair value recognized currently in the statements of operations.
Stock-Based Compensation
ASC 718, “Compensation - Stock Compensation”, prescribes accounting and reporting standards for all share-based payment transactions in which employee services are acquired. Transactions include incurring liabilities, or issuing or offering to issue shares, options, and other equity instruments such as employee stock ownership plans and stock appreciation rights. Share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, are recognized as compensation expense in the financial statements based on their fair values. That expense is recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide services in exchange for the award, known as the requisite service period (usually the vesting period).
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation issued to non-employees and consultants in accordance with the provisions of ASC 505-50, “Equity - Based Payments to Non-Employees.” Measurement of share-based payment transactions with non-employees is based on the fair value of whichever is more reliably measurable: (a) the goods or services received; or (b) the equity instruments issued. The fair value of the share-based payment transaction is determined at the earlier of performance commitment date or performance completion date.

THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2024 AND 2023
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.
Income Taxes
We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which the temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are recorded, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”), which clarifies the accounting and disclosure for uncertainty in tax positions, as defined, seeks to reduce the diversity in practice associated with certain aspects of the recognition and measurement related to accounting for income taxes. We adopted the provisions of ASC 740 as of January 1, 2007 and have analyzed filing positions in each of the federal and state jurisdictions where we are required to file income tax returns, as well as all open tax years in these jurisdictions. We have identified the U.S. federal and California as our “major” tax jurisdictions. With limited exceptions, we remain subject to Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) examination of our income tax returns filed within the last three (3) years, and to California Franchise Tax Board examination of our income tax returns filed within the last four (4) years. However, we have certain tax attribute carryforwards which will remain subject to review and adjustment by the relevant tax authorities until the statute of limitations closes with respect to the year in which such attributes are utilized.
At September 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024, the Company recognized a full valuation allowance against the recorded deferred tax assets.
We believe that our income tax filing positions and deductions will be sustained on audit and do not anticipate any adjustments that will result in a material change to our financial position. Therefore, no reserves for uncertain income tax positions have been recorded pursuant to ASC 740. Our policy for recording interest and penalties associated with income-based tax audits is to record such items as a component of income taxes.
Net Loss per Share
The Company follows ASC 260, “Earnings per Share” (“EPS”), which requires presentation of basic EPS on the face of the income statement for all entities with complex capital structures and requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation. In the accompanying financial statements, basic earnings (loss) per share are computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.
Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities were exercised or converted into common stock or other contracts to issue common stock resulting in the issuance of common stock that would then share in the Company’s earnings subject to anti-dilution limitations. In a period in which the Company has a net loss, all potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the computation of diluted shares outstanding as they would have an anti-dilutive impact.
For the period ended September 30, 2024, and March 31, 2024, potentially dilutive common shares consist of common stock issuable upon the conversion of convertible notes payable. All potentially dilutive securities related to these convertible notes payable were excluded from the computation of diluted weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding as they would have had an anti-dilutive impact.

Comprehensive Income
ASC 220, Comprehensive Income, establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive loss and its components in the financial statements. During the years ended September 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024, the Company’s did not have any component of comprehensive income.
Contingencies
The Company follows ASC 450-20, “Loss Contingencies” to report accounting for contingencies. Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines and penalties and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the assessment can be reasonably estimated. There were no loss contingencies as of September 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” (“ASU 2016-02”) which supersedes existing guidance on accounting for leases in “Leases (Topic 840).” The standard requires lessees to recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from leases on the balance sheet. A lessee should recognize in the balance sheet a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. The new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The amendments should be applied at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach with earlier application permitted as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period. The Company evaluated the effects of adopting ASU 2016-02 on its financial statements and determined that there are no leases for evaluation.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. This ASU enhances the disclosures related to segment reporting for public entities. It requires entities to disclose significant segment expenses for each reportable segment, providing greater transparency in segment performance. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating how this ASU will impact its financial statements and disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. This ASU enhances the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. It is designed to provide more detailed information about an entity’s income tax expenses, liabilities, and deferred tax items, potentially affecting how companies report and disclose their income tax-related information. The ASU is effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating how this ASU will impact its financial statements and disclosures.
Management does not believe any other recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements would have a material effect on our present or future financial statements.

NOTE 11 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Lease Commitments
The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. This determination generally depends on whether the arrangement conveys to the Company the right to control the use of an explicitly or implicitly identified fixed asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Control of an underlying asset is conveyed to the Company if the Company obtains the rights to direct the use of and to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from using the underlying asset. The Company has lease agreements which include lease and non-lease components, which the Company has elected to account for as a single lease component for all classes of underlying assets. Lease expense for variable lease components are recognized when the obligation is probable.
Operating lease right of use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Operating lease payments are recognized as lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company primarily leases buildings (real estate) which are classified as operating leases. ASC 842 requires a lessee to discount its unpaid lease payments using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, its incremental borrowing rate. As an implicit interest rate is not readily determinable in the Company’s leases, the incremental borrowing rate is used based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments.
The lease term for all of the Company’s leases includes the non-cancellable period of the lease plus any additional periods covered by either a Company option to extend (or not to terminate) the lease that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise, or an option to extend (or not to terminate) the lease controlled by the lessor. Options for lease renewals have been excluded from the lease term (and lease liability) for the majority of the Company’s leases as the reasonably certain threshold is not met.
Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability are comprised of fixed payments, variable payments that depend on index or rate, and amounts probable to be payable under the exercise of the Company option to purchase the underlying asset if reasonably certain.
Variable lease payments not dependent on a rate or index associated with the Company’s leases are recognized when the event, activity, or circumstance in the lease agreement on which those payments are assessed as probable. Variable lease payments are presented as operating expenses in the Company’s income statement in the same line item as expense arising from fixed lease payments. As of March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, management determined that there were no variable lease costs.
Litigation
There is no pending, threatened or actual legal proceedings in which the Company is a party.

NOTE 12: SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On March 25, 2024, the Company signed a merger agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) with BSG Holdings, LLC (“BSG”) and JBAH Holdings, Inc. (“JBAH”, and BSG and JBAH are collectively, the “Sellers”). Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the closing, (i) the Sellers will assign to the Company 100% of the membership interests in the Ballengee Group LLC (“BG”); and (ii) the Sellers will receive a total of $30 million of Scepter common stock and $17 million in the form of a 5 year promissory note issued by Scepter. BG is a sports management agency located in Dallas, Texas. BG represent approximately 200 athletes, of which approximately 50 of the athletes are in Major League Baseball with the remainder predominately within the Minor Leagues. The closing of the Merger Agreement is conditioned upon a reverse split and an increase in authorized shares of the Company and is expected to close as soon as those conditions are met. The Company has filed the documents with FINRA to complete the reverse split and increase in authorized shares. There are no guarantees that we can meet all of the requirements for closing of the Merger Agreement. After the closing, BG shall be operated as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The Sellers will hold a controlling majority of the outstanding stock of Scepter after the transaction closes and shall have the right to appoint four members to the Company’s board of directors The Merger Agreement provides that the Company shall file a registration statement to register the shares of Company common stock issued to the Sellers within 90 days after the closing date. The description of the Merger Agreement in this Form 10 is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1.
The Company common stock to be issued at the closing of the Merger Agreement will be calculated with dividing the total value of the stock by the 3-day volume weighted average for the 3 trading days immediately prior to the closing. The promissory notes will be for a term of five years and carry an interest rate of prime plus 3% and shall be secured by a pledge agreement by the Company in favor of the Sellers. Additionally, the obligations of the Company pursuant to the promissory notes shall be guaranteed by BG. Cash payments of interest and principal will be paid based on a formula based on free cash flows of BG with any additional required payments to be paid in stock or cash at the option of the Company.
The closing of the Merger Agreement is subject to closing conditions several of which are outside of the control of the Company. The Company cannot provide any guarantees or assurances that the closing of the Merger Agreement will occur. The merger is still pending and is expected to close shortly after the effectiveness of the Form 10.
