ITEM 3. SUMMARY INFORMATION, RISK FACTORS AND DILUTION
Investing in the Company’s Securities is very risky. You should be able to bear a complete loss of your investment. You should carefully consider the following factors, including those listed in this Securities Offering.
Emerging Growth Company Status
The Company is an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart our Business Startups Act (“JOBS Act”). For as long as the Company is an emerging growth company, the Company may take advantage of specified exemptions from reporting and other regulatory requirements that are otherwise applicable generally to other public companies. These exemptions include:
·
An exemption from providing an auditor’s attestation report on management’s assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s systems of internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002;
·
An exemption from compliance with any new requirements adopted by the Public Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”), requiring mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report in which the auditor would be required to provide additional information about the audit and the financial statements of the issuer;
·
An exemption from compliance with any other new auditing standards adopted by the PCAOB after April 5th, 2012, unless the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) determines otherwise; and
·
Reduced disclosure of executive compensation.
In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can use the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. This permits an emerging growth company to delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. However, the Company has chosen to “opt out” of such extended transition period and, as a result, the Company will comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth companies. The Company’s decision to opt out of the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards is irrevocable.
The Company will cease to be an “emerging growth company” upon the earlies of (i) when the Company has $1.0 Billion or more in annual revenues, (ii) when the Company has at least $700 Million in market value of the Company’s Common Units held by non-affiliates, (iii) when the Company issues more than $1.0 Billion of non-convertible debt over a three-year period, or (iv) the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the Company’s Initial Public Offering.
Online Gaming Technologies Industry Risks
Online Gaming Technologies Industry investments are subject to varying degrees of risk. The yields available from equity investments in Online Gaming Technologies Industry Companies depends on the amount of income earned and capital appreciation generated by the company as well as the expenses incurred in connection therewith. If any of the Company’s products, services or assets does not generate income sufficient to meet operating expenses, the Company’s Common Stock value could adversely be affected. Income from, and the value of, the Company’s Products, Services and Assets may be adversely affected by the general economic climate, the General Online Gaming Market Conditions such as oversupply of related products or a reduction in demand for Online Gaming products in the areas in which the Company’s Products, Services and Assets are located, competition from other Online Gaming Companies, and the Company’s ability to provide adequate Online Gaming Products. Revenues from the Company’s Products, Services and Assets are also affected by such factors such as the costs of product production and operations, as well as global and national market conditions.
Because Online Gaming Technology Industry investments are relatively illiquid, the Company’s ability to vary its asset portfolio promptly in response to economic or other conditions is limited. The relative illiquidity of its holdings could impede the Company’s ability to respond to adverse changes in the performance of its Products and Assets. No assurance can be given that the fair market value of the Products and Services Produced or Assets Acquired by, or produced by the Company will not decrease in the future. Investors have no right to withdrawal their equity commitment or require the Company to repurchase their respective Common Stock interests and the transferability of the Common Stock Units is limited. Accordingly, investors should be prepared to hold their investment interest until the Company is dissolved and its assets are liquidated.
pg.6
It Has Not Been Determined by Legal Proceedings of Federal or State Legislation If the Company’s Online Social Gaming Sports Platform May Constitute Illegal Internet Gambling
Online gambling is illegal or highly regulated in only a few states (such as Nevada). To the best of the Company’s knowledge, no Court or Federal or State Legislature has made a determination as to whether or not that the Company’s Online Social Gaming Sports Platform, or similar Social Gaming Sports Platforms, would or would not constitute internet “gambling”. If a Court or Legislative body where to determine that the Company’s Online Social Gaming Sports Platform does constitute illegal internet “gambling,” the Company could face fines and/or termination of its Online Social Gaming Sports Platform. In either case, the Company’s ability to continue its Online Social Gaming Sports Platform Operations and would most likely cease, resulting in a termination of the Company’s entire business operations and the complete loss of any investment in the Company. The Company can provide no assurances that a Court and/or Legislative body may not at some point in the future determine that the Company’s Online Social Gaming Sports Platform does constitute illegal internet “gambling”.
The Company’s Social Gaming Sports Platform Has Age and Residence Restrictions That May be Ignored by Users and Potential Customers
Because the Company’s preferred method of transacting payments is via credit card, the Company may require that potential customers of the Company’s Online Social Gaming Sports Platform be at least 18 years of age. In addition, six states within the United States of America currently prohibit the use of money to pay to play online video games (Arizona, Arkansas, Illinois, Iowa, Louisiana, and Maryland). As a condition of using the Company’s Online Social Gaming Sports Platform, the Company will notify potential customers about these limitations and inform them that if they are under the age of 18 and/or live in one of these six states, they cannot use the Company’s Online Social Gaming Sports Platform. However, there can be no guarantee that potential customers of the Company’s Online Social Gaming Sports Platform will honor these restrictions because it is very difficult to accurately verify the correctness of information provided to the Company. Under the Terms of Service of the Company’s Online Social Gaming Sports Platform, the Company notifies all potential users of the Company’s Online Social Gaming Sports Platform that if a customer is determined to have violated these restrictions, they will be banned from using the Online Social Gaming Sports Platform and forfeit all payments made to the Social Gaming Sports Platform, as well as all prizes won. The Company also specifically limits the liability of the Company (and various individuals) in the event that a banned customer objects to such an approach taken by the Company. However, the Company can provide no assurances that a state or other governmental agency may fine the Company or seek to terminate the Company’s Online Social Gaming Sports Platform if a resident of such a state violates either of these restrictions. In such an event, any such fines or limitations would most likely result in a termination of the Company’s entire business operations and the complete loss of any investment in the Company. In addition, the Company can provide no assurances that a customer banned from using the Company’s Online Social Gaming Sports Platform based on these restrictions will not ignore the limitations on the Company’s liability and seek legal redress in a Court of Law. If such a lawsuit or lawsuits were initiated against the Company, the costs in responding to and defending the Company may be prohibitive, resulting in the possible cessation of the Company’s business operations and the possible complete loss of any investment in the Company.
The Company May Not be Able to Commercially Develop its Online Gaming Technologies
The Company has concentrated its resources on the development of the Company’s proprietary Online Social Gaming Sports Platform software and Online Social Gaming Sports Platform. The Company’s ability to generate revenue and operate profitably will depend on the Company being able to launch its Online Social Gaming Sports Platform Website, and attract, secure and retain paying customers. The Company cannot guarantee that the Online Social Gaming Sports Platform will be sufficient to warrant approval by those who try and use the Company’s Online Social Gaming Sports Platform. Even if the Company’s Online Gaming Software performs as expected, there is no guarantee that it will be perceived as adding sufficient value to the gaming process relative to competing technologies and/or websites. Without adoption by those who play the types of fantasy online games that amenable our Online Social Gaming Sports Platform, our Online Gaming Website website will have limited commercial potential which will likely result in the loss of your entire investment.
The Company’s Ability to Succeed Depends on the Company’s Ability to Grow and Achieve Profitability
The introduction of new products and services, and expansion of the Company’s distribution channels will contribute significantly to the Company’s operational results, and the Company will continue to develop new and innovative ways to manufacture its Online Social Gaming Sports Platform products and services, and to expand the Company’s distribution in order to maintain growth and achieve profitability. The Company’s future operational success and profitability will depend on a number of factors, including, but not limited to:
·
The Company’s ability to manage costs;
·
The increasing level of competition in the Online Gaming Technology Industry;
pg.7
·
The Company’s ability to continuously offer new and improved Online Gaming Products;
·
The Company’s ability to maintain efficient, timely and cost-effective production and delivery of our products;
·
The efficiency and effectiveness of the Company’s sales and marketing efforts in building product and brand awareness;
·
The Company’s ability to identify and respond successfully to emerging trends in the Online Gaming Technology Industry;
·
The level of consumer acceptance of the Company’s Online Gaming products;
·
Regulatory compliance costs; and
·
General economic conditions and consumer confidence.
The Company may not be successful in executing its growth strategy, and even if the Company achieves targeted growth, it may not be able to sustain profitability. Failure to successfully execute any material part of the Company’s growth strategy would significantly impair the Company’s future growth and its ability to attract and sustain investments in the Company’s business.
If the Company Fail to Promote and Maintain Its Brand in the Market, the Company’s Business, Operating Results, Financial Condition, and Its Ability to Attract Customers will be Materially Adversely Affected
The Company’s success depends on the Company’s ability to create and maintain brand awareness for its Online Social Gaming Sports Platform. This may require a significant amount of capital to allow the Company to market its Online Social Gaming Sports Platform products and establish brand recognition and customer loyalty. Many of the Company’s competitors in this market are larger than the Company and have substantially greater financial resources than that of the Company. Additionally, many of the companies offering similar products have already established their brand identity within the marketplace. The Company can offer no assurances that it will be successful in establishing awareness of the Company’s brand, allowing the Company to compete in this market. The importance of brand recognition will continue to increase because of low barriers of entry to the industries in which the Company operates, and may result in an increased number of direct competitors. To promote the Company’s brands, the Company may be required to continue to increase its financial commitment to creating and maintaining brand awareness. The Company may not generate a corresponding increase in revenue to justify these costs.
The Company is Reliant on Key Individuals
The Company currently is heavily reliant on the services of two individuals, Mr. Vincent DeBlois, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer & Chief Financial Officer and Mr. Marc Fortier, the Company’s Chief Administrative Officer. Further, there can be no assurance that either of them will continue to be employed by the Company for any specific period of time. The departure of either of these key people may negatively affect the Company’s business, unless suitable replacements can be found in a timely fashion. The Company has not purchased key man life insurance for either of these people.
The Company Could Potentially Face Risks Associated with Borrowing
Although the Company does not intend to incur any additional debt from the investment commitments provided in this offering, should the company obtain secure bank debt in the future, possible risks could arise. If the Company incurs additional indebtedness, a portion of the Company’s cash flow will have to be dedicated to the payment of principal and interest on such new indebtedness. Typical loan agreements also might contain restrictive covenants, which may impair the Company’s operating flexibility. Such loan agreements would also provide for default under certain circumstances, such as failure to meet certain financial covenants. A default under a loan agreement could result in the loan becoming immediately due and payable and, if unpaid, a judgment in favor of such lender which would be senior to the rights of shareholders of the Company. A judgment creditor would have the right to foreclose on any of the Company’s assets resulting in a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operating results or financial condition.
Unanticipated Obstacles to Execution of the Business Plan
The Company’s business plans may change significantly. Many of the Company’s potential business endeavors are capital intensive and may be subject to statutory or regulatory requirements. Management believes that the Company’s chosen activities and strategies are achievable in light of current economic and legal conditions with the skills, background, and knowledge of the Company’s principals and advisors. Management reserves the right to make significant modifications to the Company’s stated strategies depending on future events.
pg.8
Management Discretion as to Use of Proceeds
The net proceeds from this Offering will be used for the purposes described under “Use of Proceeds.” The Company reserves the right to use the funds obtained from this Offering for other similar purposes not presently contemplated which it deems to be in the best interests of the Company and its Investors in order to address changed circumstances or opportunities. As a result of the foregoing, the success of the Company will be substantially dependent upon the discretion and judgment of Management with respect to application and allocation of the net proceeds of this Offering. Investors for the Shares offered hereby will be entrusting their funds to the Company’s Management, upon whose judgment and discretion the investors must depend.
Control by a Limited Number of Shareholder
As of October 1st, 2016 the Company’s Managers owned approximately 97% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock Shares Upon completion of this Offering, the Company’s Management will own approximately 64% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock Shares of the Company. As a result, even if all of the Shares being offered for sale by this Offering are sold, the Company’s Management will control the election of the directors of the Company and the outcome of any vote on any other matter.
The Company’s Revenues and Operating Results May Fluctuate
The Company’s revenues and operating results may fluctuate from quarter-to-quarter and year-to-year, and are likely to continue to vary due to a number of factors, many of which are not within the Company’s control. Thus, revenues and operating results for any future period are not predictable with any significant degree of certainty. For these reasons, comparing the Company’s operating results on a period-to-period basis may not be meaningful. Investors should not rely on the Company’s past results as an indication of the Company’s future performance.
Fluctuations in the Company’s operating results and financial condition may occur due to a number of factors, including, but not limited to, those listed below and those identified through this “Risk Factors” section:
·
The extent of turnover of the Company’s customers in any period;
·
The degree of market acceptance of the Company’s Online Social Gaming Sports Platform;
·
Development of new competitive Online Social Gaming Sports Platforms by others;
·
The Company’s response to price competition;
·
Delays between the Company’s expenditures to develop and market new Online Social Gaming Sports Platform Services and Products in new areas and the generation of sales from those new Online Social Gaming Sports Platform Services and Products;
·
Changes in the amount that the Company spends to promote its Online Social Gaming Sports Platform;
·
General economic and industry conditions that affect the Company’s potential customers; and
·
Changes in accounting rules and tax laws.
Due to the foregoing factors, Investors should not rely on quarter-to-quarter or year-to-year comparisons of the Company’s operating results as an indicator of future performance.
Return of Profits
The Company has never declared or paid any cash dividends on its Common Stock. The Company currently intends to retain future earnings, if any, to finance the expansion of the Company’s Operations and Holdings. As a result, the Company does not anticipate paying any cash dividends to its Common Stock Holders for the foreseeable future.
No Assurances of Protection for Proprietary Rights; Reliance on Trade Secrets
In certain cases, the Company may rely on trade secrets to protect intellectual property, proprietary technology and processes, which the Company has acquired, developed or may develop in the future. There can be no assurances that secrecy obligations will be honored or that others will not independently develop similar or superior products or technology. The protection of intellectual property and/or proprietary technology through claims of trade secret status has been the subject of increasing claims and litigation by various companies both in order to protect proprietary rights as well as for competitive reasons even where
pg.9
proprietary claims are unsubstantiated. The prosecution of proprietary claims or the defense of such claims is costly and uncertain given the uncertainty and rapid development of the principles of law pertaining to this area. The Company, in common with other investment funds, may also be subject to claims by other parties with regard to the use of intellectual property, technology information and data, which may be deemed proprietary to others.
The Company’s Continuing as a Going Concern Depends Upon Financing
If the Company does not raise sufficient working capital and continues to experience pre-operating losses, there will most likely be substantial doubt as to its ability to continue as a going concern. Because the Company has generated no revenue, all expenditures during the development stage have been recorded as pre-operating losses. Revenue operations have not commenced because the Company has not raised the necessary capital.
The Company has Never Paid Cash Dividends on its Common Stock, and the Company Does Not Anticipate Paying Any Cash Dividends in the Foreseeable Future. Therefore, if the Company’s Common Stock Share Price Does Not Appreciate, Investors in the Company’s Common Stock May Not Gain, and Could Potentially Lose Their Investment in the Company’s Common Stock
The Company has never declared, or paid cash dividends on its Common Stock, and the Company does not anticipate paying any cash dividends on its Common Stock after this Offering, or in the foreseeable future. The Company currently intends to retain all available funds and any future earnings to fund the development and growth of its business. As a result, capital appreciation, if any, of the Company’s Common Stock will be the Investors’ sole source of gain for the foreseeable future.
Certain Factors Related to the Company’s Common Stock
Because the Company’s Common Stock may be considered a "penny stock," and a shareholder may have difficulty selling shares in the secondary trading market.
The Company’s Common Stock Securities may be subject to certain rules and regulations relating to "penny stock" (generally defined as any equity security that has a price less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exemptions). Broker-dealers who sell penny stocks are subject to certain "sales practice requirements" for sales in certain nonexempt transactions (i.e., sales to persons other than established customers and institutional "qualified investors"), including requiring delivery of a risk disclosure document relating to the penny stock market and monthly statements disclosing recent price information for the penny stocks held in the account, and certain other restrictions. For as long as the Company’s Common Stock is subject to the rules on penny stocks, the market liquidity for such securities could be significantly limited. This lack of liquidity may also make it more difficult for the Company to raise capital in the future through sales of equity in the public or private markets.
The price of the Company’s Common Stock may be volatile, and a shareholder's investment in the Company’s Common Stock could suffer a decline in value.
There could be significant volatility in the volume and market price of the Company’s Common Stock, and this volatility may continue in the future. The Company’s Common Stock may in the future be listed on the OTC Markets “OTCQB” or “OTCQX”, where there is a great chance for market volatility for securities that trade on these markets as opposed to a national exchange or quotation system. This volatility may be caused by a variety of factors, including the lack of readily available quotations, the absence of consistent administrative supervision of "bid" and "ask" quotations and generally lower trading volume. In addition, factors such as quarterly variations in our operating results, changes in financial estimates by securities analysts or our failure to meet our or their projected financial and operating results, litigation involving us, general trends relating to the Recreational Marijuana Industry, actions by governmental agencies, national economic and stock market considerations as well as other events and circumstances beyond our control could have a significant impact on the future market price of our Common Stock and the relative volatility of such market price.
Secondary Market
Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for the Company’s Preferred Stock. There are no assurances that the Company’s Preferred Stock will ever be listed on any regulated securities exchange. There can be no assurance that an active trading market for the Company’s Preferred Stock will develop, or, if developed, that an active trading market will be maintained. If an active market is not developed or sustained, the market price and liquidity of the Company’s Preferred Stock may be adversely affected.
pg.10
The Company is not currently preparing any application for the Company's Securities to be admitted to listing and trading on the OTC Market or Regulated Market, though the Company anticipates such filing within 12 to 36 months of the close of this Offering. There can be no assurance that a liquid market for the Securities will develop or, if it does develop, that it will continue. If a market does develop, it may not be liquid. Therefore, investors may not be able to sell their Securities easily or at prices that will provide them with yield comparable to similar investments that have a developed secondary market. Illiquidity may have aseverely adverse effect on the market value of the Securities and investors wishing to sell the Securities might therefore suffer losses.
The Company’s Securities initially may be listed for trade on a Closed Trading System with Limited Volume and Liquidity
The Company’s securities may not be freely quoted for trading on any stock exchange or through any other traditional trading platform. The Company’s securities may be issued, available for purchase and may be traded exclusively on a specific trading system that is registered with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission as an “Alternative Trading System” or an “ATS”. The Company does not have any plans to trade its securities on a specific ATS as of the date of this filing. Any disruptions to the operations of an ATS or a Broker Dealer’s Customer Interface with an ATS would materially disrupt trading in, or potentially result in a complete halt in the trading.
Because the Company’s Securities may be traded exclusively on a closed trading system, it is a possibility that there will be a limited number of holders of the Company’s Securities. In addition, and ATS is likely to experience limited trading volume with a relatively small number of securities trading on the ATS platform as compared to securities trading on traditional securities exchanges or trading platforms. As a result, this novel trading system may have limited liquidity, resulting in a lower or higher price, or greater volatility than would be the case with greater liquidity. Investors may not be able to resell their securities on a timely basis, or at all.
The Number of Securities Traded on an ATS May be Very Small, Making the Market Price More Easily Manipulated
While the Company understands that many ATS platforms have adopted policies and procedures such that security holders are not free to manipulate the trading of securities contrary to applicable law, and while the risk of market manipulation exists in connection with the trading of any securities, the risk may be greater for the Company’s Securities because the ATS the Company chooses may be a closed system that does not have the same breath of market and liquidity as the national market system. There can be no assurance that the efforts by an ATS to prevent such behavior will be sufficient to prevent such market manipulation.
An ATS is Not a Stock Exchange and has Limited Quoting Requirements for Issuers, of for the Securities Held
Unlike the more expansive listing requirements, policies and procedures of the NASDAQ Global Market or other NMS Trading Platforms, there are no minimum price requirements and limited listing requirements for securities to be traded on an ATS. As a result, trades of the Company’s Securities may not be at prices that represent the national best bid or offer prices that could be considered similar securities.
Shares of the Company’s Common Stock may in the future be Subject to the Penny Stock Rules
The Company plans to list its securities on the OTC Markets Group’s OTCQB or OTCQB in 12 to 36 months of the completion of this Offering. Company’s Common Stock may in the future if traded on the OTC Market Group’s “OTCQB”, which may well make it difficult for a purchaser of Shares of the Company’s Common Stock to sell all, or a party of the Common Stock Shares when the purchasers wish, or, if the Common Stock Shares can be sold, to get what the purchaser may consider to be an adequate price for the Common Stock Shares. The Shares of the Company’s Common Stock may trade at prices which make them subject to the United States Securities and Exchange Commission’s “Penny Stock Rules”, which may also limit the liquidity of the Common Stock Shares, or adversely affect the price at which the Common Stock Shares can be sold, or both.
The Company Cannot Assure Investors that the Market for the Company’s Common Stock will Continue at any Trading Volume, or that the Market Price of Shares of the Company’s Common Stock Will Not Decline in the Future
The Company cannot predict the prices at which the Company’s Common Stock will trade. The offering price for the Shares being sold in this Offering has been determined by the Company based largely on the Company’s perception of the amount of money in which the Company needs to raise at this time to grow the Company. The Company cannot assure you that the Offering price per Share will bear any relationship on the market price of the Company’s Common Stock may trade in the future.
pg.11
The Market Price for the Company’s Common Stock May Fluctuate Significantly
The market price and liquidity of the market for the Company’s Shares of Common Stock that will prevail in the market may be higher or lower than the price that Investors of the Company’s Common Stock pay for the Common Stock at the time the Investors purchase of the Common Stock Shares, and may be significantly affected by numerous factors, some of which are beyond the control of the Company, and may not be directly related to the Company’s operating performance. These factors include, but are not limited to:
·
Significant volatility in the market price and trading volume of securities of companies in the Company’s Market Sector, which is not necessarily related to the operating performance of these companies;
·
The mix of products that the Company provides during any period;
·
Delays between the Company’s expenditures to develop and market the Company’s products, and the generation of sales from those marketing efforts;
·
Changes in the amount that the Company spends to expand its products to new areas, or to develop new products;
·
Changes in the Company’s expenditures to promote its services;
·
Announcements of acquisitions by the Company, or one of the Company’s competitors;
·
Changes in regulatory policies or tax guidelines;
·
Changes or perceived changes in earnings, or variations in operating results;
·
Any shortfall in revenue, or net income, or any increase in losses from levels expected by Investors or securities analysts; and
·
General economic trends and other external factors.
If Equity Research Analysts Do Not Publish Research Reports about the Company, of if the Research Analysts Issue Unfavorable Commentary or Downgrade the Company’s Common Stock Shares, the Price of the Company’s Common Stock Shares Could Decline
The trading market for the Company’s Common Stock Shares will rely in part on the research and reports that equity research analysts publish about the Company, and the Company’s business. The Company does not have control over research analysts, and the Company does not have commitments from research analysts to write research reports about the Company. The price of the Company’s Common Stock Shares could decline if one or more equity research analysts downgrades the Company’s Common Stock Shares, issues an unfavorable commentary, or ceases publishing reports about the Company.
Future Sales of the Company’s Shares Could Reduce the Market Price of the Company’s Common Stock Shares
The price of the Company’s Common Stock could decline if there are substantial sales of the Company’s Common Stock, particularly by the Company’s Directors or its Executive Officer(s), or when there is a large number of Shares of the Company’s Common Stock available for sale. The perception in the public market that the Company’s Stockholders might sell the Company Shares could also depress the market price of the Company’s Shares. If this occurs, or continues to occur, it could impair the Company’s ability to raise additional capital through the sale of securities should the Company desire to do so.
Raising Additional Capital by Issuing Securities May Cause Dilution to the Company’s Shareholders
The Company may need to, or desire to, raise substantial additional capital in the future. The Company’s future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including, among others:
·
The Company’s degree of success in capturing a larger portion of the Online Gaming Market;
·
The costs of establishing or acquiring sales, marketing, and distribution capabilities for the Company’s services;
·
The extent to which the Company acquires or invests in businesses, products, or technologies, and other strategic relationships; and
·
The costs of financing unanticipated working capital requirements and responding to competitive pressures.
If the Company raises additional funds by issuing equity or convertible debt securities, the Company will reduce the percentage of ownership of the then-existing shareholders, and the holders of those newly-issued equity or convertible debt securities may have rights, preferences, or privileges senior to those possessed by the Company’s then-existing shareholders. Additionally,
pg.12
future sales of a substantial number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock, or other equity-related securities in the public market could depress the market price of the Company’s Common Stock and impair the Company’s ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity or equity-linked securities. The Company cannot predict the effect that future sales of the Company’s Common Stock, or other equity-related securities would have on the market price of the Company’s Common Stock.

Offering Price
The price of the Securities offered has been arbitrarily established by our current Managers, considering such matters as the state of the Company’s business development and the general condition of the industry in which it operates. The Offering price bears little relationship to the assets, net worth, or any other objective criteria.
Compliance with Securities Laws
The Company’s Securities are being offered for sale in reliance upon certain exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and applicable state securities laws. If the sale of Securities were to fail to qualify for these exemptions, purchasers may seek rescission of their purchases of Securities. If a number of purchasers were to obtain rescission, we would face significant financial demands, which could adversely affect the Company as a whole, as well as any non-rescinding purchasers.

ALL INVESTORS FURTHER AGREE THAT THE ARBITRATION WILL BE BINDING AND HELD IN THE STATE OF DELAWARE, IN THE COUNTY OF NEW CASTLE. EACH INVESTOR ALSO AGREES TO WAIVE ANY RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL.

ITEM 4. DILUTION
If any Investor purchases any of the Shares Offered by this Offering, the Investors ownership interest will be diluted to the extent of the difference between the initial public offering price per share and the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share of the Company’s Common Stock immediately after this Offering.
Dilution results from the fact that the Initial Public Offering Price per Share is substantially in excess of the book value per share attributable to the existing Stockholder for the presently outstanding stock of the Company. As of October 1st, 2016, the Company’s Net Tangible Assets (excluding any deferred Costs of this Offering) less total liabilities, divided by TWENTY MILLION, the number of Shares of Common Stock outstanding as of October 1st, 2016. The following table sets forth as of that date, the number of Shares of Common Stock purchased from the Company and the total consideration paid by the Company’s existing stockholders and by new investors in this Offering if new investors purchase 25%, 50%, 75% or 100% of the Offering, after deduction of Offering expenses, assuming a purchase price of this Offering of $0.30 per Share of Common Stock
The Company was formed in June of 2014 as a Delaware Stock Corporation. Upon its formation, the Company issued TWENTY MILLION SHARES of Common Stock.
Name & Address | If 25% of Offering Sold | If 50% of Offering Sold | If 75% of Offering Sold | If 100% of Offering Sold |
Offering Price Per Share | $0.30 | $0.30 | $0.30 | $0.30 |
Post Offering Net Tangible Book Value | $676,473 | $1,426,473 | $2,176,473 | $2,926,473 |
Post Offering Net Tangible Book Value Per Share | $0.030 | $0.057 | $0.079 | $0.097 |
Pre-Offering Net Tangible Book Value Per Share | ($0.00) | ($0.00) | ($0.00) | ($0.00) |
Increase (Decrease) Net Tangible Book Value Per Share After Offering for Original Shareholder | $0.030 | $0.057 | $0.079 | $0.097 |
Dilution Per Share for New Shareholders | $0.27 | $0.25 | $0.22 | $0.21 |
Percentage Dilution Per Share for New Shareholders | 90% | 83% | 73% | 70% |
Assuming the Company sells the entire offering of TEN MILLION Shares of Common Stock, after giving effect to the sale of Common Shares in this Offering, and after deducting estimated offering expenses payable by the Company, the Company’s as adjusted net tangible book value as of October 1st, 2016 would have been $2,926,473, or $0.097 per Share. This amount represents an immediate increase in the as-adjusted net tangible book value of $0.097 per Share to the Company’s existing Stockholders and an immediate dilution in the as-adjusted net tangible book value of approximately $0.21 per Share to new Investors purchasing Common Shares in this Offering. The Company determined dilution by subtracting the as adjusted net tangible book value per share after the Offering from the amount of cash that new investors paid for a Share of Common Stock.

ITEM 9. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATION
The following discussion and analysis of the Company’s Financial Condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In addition to historical financial information, the following discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. The Company’s actual results and timing may differ from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements and planning as a result of many factors, including those discussed under “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in the prospectus.
The Company is a Developmental Stage Company with limited operating history:
The Company was incorporated as a Delaware Stock Corporation in June 2014. Accordingly, the Company has only a limited history upon which an evaluation of its prospects and future performance can be made. The Company’s proposed operations are subject to all business risks associated with new enterprises. The likelihood of the Company’s success must be considered in light of the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications, and delays frequently encountered in connection with the expansion of a business, operation in a competitive industry, and the continued development of advertising, promotions and a corresponding customer base. There is a possibility that the Company could sustain losses in the future. There can be no assurances that North Lion Holding Corporation will operate profitably.
Overview:
The Company is the creator of the WagerGang Online Social Gaming Sports Platform, which is an innovative concept in the online gaming market, more specifically in the fantasy sports field. It will operate at the First Sports Betting Social Media Platform. Since inception, the Company has devoted substantially all of its efforts to business planning, research and development, recruiting management and staff, and raising capital. Accordingly, the Company is considered to be in the developmental stage, since the Company has been devoting substantially all of its efforts to establishing the Company’s business and planned principal operations have not commended. The Company has generated minimal revenues from operations and therefore lacks meaningful capital reserves.
Over the next twelve months, the Company intends to focus on the commercialization of its Online Gaming Sports Gaming platform with the investment proceeds of this offering.
Liquidity and Capital Reserves
As of October 1st, 2016, the Company had $100.00 USD in cash and total liabilities of $0.00. As of October 1st, 2016, the Company has incurred total expenses since inception of $75,000, related entirely to fees associated with this Offering. In Management’s opinion, the Company’s cash position is insufficient to maintain its operations at the current level for the next twelve months. The Company is attempting to raise capital to proceed with its plan of operation as detailed in the Description of Business Section of this Offering. The Company hopes to raise a minimum of $300,000, and a maximum of $3,000,000 through this Offering. The Company believes that such funds will be sufficient to fund the Company’s expenses over the next twelve months.
The Company is highly dependent upon the success of this Offering, as described herein. Therefore, the failure thereof would result in the need to seek capital from other sources such as taking loans, which would likely not even be possible for the Company. However, if such financing were available, because the Company is a development stage company with no operations to date, the Company would likely have to pay additional costs associated with high risk loans and be subject to an above market interest rate. At such time these funds are required, management would evaluate the terms of such debt financing. If the Company cannot raise additional proceeds via a private placement of its equity or debt securities, or secure a loan, the Company would be required to cease business operations. As a result, investors would lose all of their investment.

payments of unlawful dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions; or
