THE COMPANY’S BUSINESS
Overview
GolfSuites 1, Inc. is an early stage hospitality and entertainment company devoted to the development and operation of golf driving range and entertainment centers in the United States. The company will purchase the land and manage zoning, entitlement, design, construction and operation of the planned facilities. The company will operate under the brand name “GolfSuites” and is a subsidiary of KGEM.
The company is targeting avid and novice golfers, families, millennials and other demographic groups seeking recreation, hospitality and entertainment in golf-themed complexes. The facilities will be designed to effectively host corporate meetings, fund raising events, national skill event qualifiers and professional showcase events.
Principal Products and Services
Currently, the company is at the earliest stages of development. The company has not yet purchased land for Phase I Construction of its first location. The company believes that it will take approximately 24 months after land purchase to complete Phase I Construction. Upon completion of Phase I Construction the relevant facility will be operational.
Location and size of each facility
The company considers the following factors when determining the location and size of each facility:
| · | Large and mid-size populations within metropolitan areas. |
| · | University communities with populations of at least 100,000. |
| · | Millennial populations within and give trade market. |
| · | The proximity to major highway, interstate access other large entertainment facilities, restaurant and recreational attractions. |
| · | Ongoing growth trends in the selected area. |
| · | Proximity of select population bases including: university students, types of housing developments and employment rates. |
| · | Whether a local government is cooperative and favors the development of leisure facilities. |
| · | Cost of land. |
| · | Availability and potential threat of competitor facilities within the vicinity. |
| · | Favorable mortgage/lender terms and relationships. |
Financing the facilities
The company intends to purchase the land for Phase I Construction with a combination of the following:
| · | The proceeds of this offering (see “Use of Proceeds”). |
| · | Funds advanced to GolfSuites 1 by KGEM. |
| · | Mortgage financing provided by banks, private equity funds, lending-REITs and/or other financial institutions. |
Sourcing the facilities
The company has engaged various regional and national real estate brokerages to source potential sites. We have not yet sourced specific properties that we believe could become our first location; however various sites are under review. The company anticipates that it may acquire land, depending on access to capital or financing, in the first half of 2020.
Facility design and construction
The company has not yet sourced quotes for the construction and design of its first facility.
Management of the facility
KGEM will oversee the management of all GolfSuites 1 locations. GolfSuites 1 will directly employ management teams and staff to operate all GolfSuites 1 locations.
The experience
The company intends to offer customers fun, entertainment, high quality food, creative menus, unique beverages, golf and thoughtfully designed suites to aid in a superior customer experience.
The company intends to build each facility with the following specifications:
| · | 60-100 climate-controlled suites that open to a 300+ yard golf range. The suites offer comfortable seating, special computer tracking to monitor golf gaming and ball flight data, tee boxes, and large screen monitors to watch sports. |
| · | Multiple indoor/outdoor bars. |
| · | Restaurants. |
| · | VIP Member “Select Suites.” |
| · | Family-friendly restrooms and changing areas. |
| · | Child care, play areas for kids. |
| · | Multiple meeting and conference rooms. |
| · | State-of-the-art golf academy and training center. |
| · | State-of-the-art putting course and short game area. |
However, if an opportunity presents itself, the company may take over existing facilities either on an ownership or lease basis. In such an occurrence, the company intends to still follow a similar design and experience model with the facilities that it has developed and owns by itself. Further, the company may also develop golf driving range simulator lounges with full food and beverage compliment to be located in shopping centers and office buildings nationwide. The lounges will be smaller facilities and can be developed in a shorter timeframe with significantly less capital.
The Golf Academy will be based on PGA® professional and NBC Golf Academy® featured instructor, Kyle Morris and his successful studio, The Golf Room in Columbus, Ohio. Kyle’s advanced training and coaching techniques are aimed at improving an individual’s overall golf game. Located on the ground-floor level of each facility, the Golf Academy will consist of golf instruction, golf coaching, junior golf recruitment and advisory services, fitness and rehabilitation therapy, mental sports performance training and custom golf club and equipment fitting.
On February 15, 2019, KGEM entered into a License Agreement with Kyle Morris (the “Morris License Agreement”). Pursuant to the Morris License Agreement, a license is granted by Kyle Morris to KGEM to use his likeness, current business, and golf coaching concepts. In addition, it provides for a non-compete and a 10 year term.
On February 15, 2019, KGEM entered into a Consulting Agreement with Kyle Morris (the “Morris Consulting Agreement”). Pursuant to the Morris Consulting Agreement, protection of confidential information, non-competition and non-solicitation is provided for. In addition, it provides for a 10 year term and certain remedies.
Market Sector
GolfSuites 1 intends to participate in the recreational sporting and entertainment facilities market. We believe this market to be young, fast-growing and under-served. This market overlaps three growing, highly profitable markets: the golf market, the recreation/sporting entertainment sector and the food and beverage portion of the hospitality industry. GolfSuites 1 will be competing for revenues from customer spending in each of these three sectors.
Target Audience
The company will have five primary target audiences:
| · | Avid golfers, |
| · | Families looking for a fun experience for their kids and friends, |
| · | Businesses wanting team building, business gatherings, incentive rewards and corporate event venues with food and entertainment, |

Management Services from KGEM
GolfSuites 1 entered into a management services agreement with KGEM on January 17, 2019 (the “Management Services Agreement”). Under that agreement, KGEM will manage GolfSuites 1 and allow GolfSuites 1 to use certain intellectual property and business concepts.
Direct capitalized costs and overhead expenses will be paid by GolfSuites 1 directly (e.g., salaries, board of director and board of advisor fees, employee benefits, and general administrative costs).
Indirect capitalized costs and overhead expenses will be paid by KGEM and then reimbursed by GolfSuites 1. Indirect capital costs and overhead expenses GolfSuites 1 will be reimburse in full by GolfSuites 1.
The initial term of the agreement is ten years and is automatically renewable. Either party can terminate the agreement by written notice 180 days prior to the end of the current term.
For additional information please see the Management Services Agreement, which is an Exhibit to this annual report
Further, it is the intent of KGEM that KGEM will enter into a participating lease agreement (“PLA”) with GolfSuites 1 and each Operating Subsidiary as needed. For example, in the event that KGEM uses capital to assist GolfSuites 1 or any Operating Subsidiary with the acquisition of land and for certain costs related to the entitlement and zoning for such land, KGEM will execute a PLA with the applicable Operating Subsidiary. PLAs allow for fixed lease payments plus allocations of revenue, wherein KGEM would receive larger lease payments from the applicable Operating Subsidiary in the event revenues increase. KGEM intends that the PLAs will allow for payments from the Operating Subsidiary to KGEM in amounts that closely approximate what would be KGEM’s share of net cash flows based on its pro-rata share of total development costs for the facilities owned by the applicable Operating Subsidiary.
KGEM and GolfSuites 1 have not yet entered into a PLA.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 1-K. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates, and beliefs. Our actual results could differ significantly from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Unless otherwise indicated, the latest results discussed below are as of December 31, 2019.
Overview
GolfSuites 1 is an early stage hospitality and entertainment company devoted to the development and operation of a golf driving range and entertainment centers in the United States. The company will purchase the land and manage the zoning, entitlement, design, construction and operation of the planned facilities.
The company anticipates that its revenues will come from the following activities:
| · | individual and corporate membership sales, |
| · | food and beverage sales, |
| · | coaching and instruction services, |
| · | suite rentals, |
| · | retail sales, |
| · | sponsorships, advertising and naming rights and |
| · | contest and qualifier fees and ticket purchases |
The company will collect revenue upon sale of an item (including: membership sales, food and beverage sales, apparel etc.) and recognize the revenue when the sale is made. Operating expenses currently consist of advertising and marketing expenses and general administrative expenses.
Results of Operations
The company was incorporated on October 25, 2018. For the years ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we have had no operations and no revenues.
Total operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2019 increase to $683,814 from $83,521 for the year ended December 31, 2018. Total operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2019 increase to $455,123 from $157,375. For the year ended December 31, 2019, the company incurred $655,422 in advertising and marketing costs and $28,392 in general and administrative costs. For the year ended December 31, 2018, the company incurred $27,667 in advertising and marketing costs and $55,854 in general and administrative costs. The increase in advertising and marketing costs primarily related to costs associated with the Regulation A campaign.
As a result of the foregoing, the company generated a net loss for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 of $683,814 from $83,521, respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of December 31, 2019, the company’s cash on hand was $32,866. Currently, the company is not generating a profit. Accordingly, since inception GolfSuites 1 has relied upon the cash advances from its current shareholder KGEM and management as well as funds raised in the company’s offering under Regulation A. The company plans to continue to try to raise additional capital through additional offerings and mortgage financing. Absent additional capital, the company may be forced to significantly reduce expenses and could become insolvent.
The company launched a Regulation A offering in May 2019, which terminated in May 2020. As of December 31, 2019, we have raised $381,295 from the sale of securities in that offering. The total amount raised in the offering was approximately $1,334,218.
Indebtedness
On November 10, 2018, the company received $65,655 from KGEM, pursuant to a Promissory Note for working capital to cover expenses and costs while preparing for the securities offering. As of December 31, 2019, the total amount due to KGEM is $1,028,739.
Trends
We are still a development stage company and are working on raising enough capital to begin development on one our facilities. Once we raise enough capital there will still be a lead time of approximately two years prior to receiving revenues from the facility.
GolfSuites 1 intends to participate in the recreational sporting and entertainment facilities market. We believe this market to be young, fast-growing and under-served. This market overlaps three growing, highly profitable markets: the golf market, the recreation/sporting entertainment sector and the food and beverage portion of the hospitality industry. GolfSuites 1 will be competing for revenues from customer spending in each of these three sectors. Since money spent in those sectors is discretionary income, we are reliant on economic trends in the United States, and specifically in the Midwest where we intend to develop our facilities.
At this point the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the company’s plans are unknown. The planned opening of potential facilities is still the future, and may occur after the requirements for social distancing. That said, while social distancing is still required, any operating facility may be limited to the number of potential customers it will be able to serve and limit our ability to function at capacity. To date, there have been limited restrictions on construction in the areas where we are considering opening our first facility.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
June 12, 2020
To: | Board of Directors, GolfSuites 1, Inc. |
| Attn: Gerald D. Ellenburg |
Re: | 2019-2018 Financial Statement Audit |
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of GolfSuites 1, Inc. (a corporation organized in Delaware) (the “Company”) formerly known as KGEM Golf Midwest Inc., which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity/deficit, and cash flows for the calendar year period of 2019 and the period of October 25, 2018 (inception) and ending December 31, 2018, and the related notes to the financial statements.
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit of the Company’s financial statements in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the results of its operations, shareholders’ equity and its cash flows for the calendar year period of 2019 and the period October 25, 2018 (inception) through December 31, 2018 in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Notes to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations, has a net capital deficiency, and has stated that substantial doubt exists about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's evaluation of the events and conditions and management's plans regarding these matters are also described in the Notes to the financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
As of December 31, 2019
See accompanying Auditors’ Report
NOTE 1 - NATURE OF OPERATIONS
GolfSuites 1, Inc. (which may be referred to as the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is an early stage company devoted to devoted to the development and operation of golf driving range and entertainment centers in the United States. The Company will operate under the brand GOLFSUITES. The Company will oversee the acquisition of land, zoning, entitlement, design, construction and operation of the planned facilities.
The Company incorporated in 2018 in the state of Delaware as KGEM Golf Midwest Inc. and changed its name in January 2019.
Since Inception, the Company has relied on advances from its current shareholder(s) to fund its operations. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had little working capital and will likely incur losses prior to generating positive working capital. These matters raise substantial concern about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern (see Note 6). During the next 12 months, the Company intends to fund its operations with funding from a securities offering campaign (see Note 8) and funds from revenue producing activities, if and when such can be realized. If the Company cannot secure additional short-term capital, it may cease operations. These financial statements and related notes thereto do not include any adjustments that might result from these uncertainties.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The Company has selected December 31 as the year end as the basis for its reporting.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the footnotes thereto. Actual results could differ from those estimates. It is reasonably possible that changes in estimates will occur in the near term.
Risks and Uncertainties
The Company has a limited operating history. The Company's business and operations are sensitive to general business and economic conditions in the United States. A host of factors beyond the Company's control could cause fluctuations in these conditions. Adverse conditions may include: recession, downturn or otherwise, local competition or changes in consumer taste. These adverse conditions could affect the Company's financial condition and the results of its operations. As of December 31, 2019, the Company is operating as a going concern.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers short-term, highly liquid investment with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash consists of currency held in the Company’s checking account. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had $32,866 in a corporate checking account.
Receivables and Credit Policy
Trade receivables from customers are uncollateralized customer obligations due under normal trade terms, primarily requiring payment before services are rendered. Trade receivables are stated at the amount billed to the customer. Payments of trade receivables are allocated to the specific invoices identified on the customer’s remittance advice or, if unspecified, are applied to the earliest unpaid invoice. The Company, by policy, routinely assesses the financial strength of its customer. As a result, the Company believes that its accounts receivable credit risk exposure is limited and it has not experienced significant write-downs in its accounts receivable balances. As of December 31, 2019, the Company did not have any outstanding accounts receivable.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Expenditures for renewals and improvements that significantly add to the productive capacity or extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. When equipment is retired or sold, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the balance sheet accounts and the resultant gain or loss is reflected in income.
Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method, based on useful lives of the assets. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had recorded no depreciation.
The Company reviews the carrying value of property and equipment for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable from the estimated future cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. In cases where undiscounted expected future cash flows are less than the carrying value, an impairment loss is recognized equal to an amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of assets. The factors considered by management in performing this assessment include current operating results, trends and prospects, the manner in which the property is used, and the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition, and other economic factors. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had no fixed assets.
Deferred Offering Costs
The Company complies with the requirements of ASC 340-10. The Deferred Offering Costs of the Company consist solely of legal and other fees incurred in connection with the capital raising efforts of the Company. Under ASC 340-10, costs incurred are capitalized until the offering whereupon the offering costs are charged to members’ equity or expensed depending on whether the offering is successful or not successful, respectively.
During 2019 (and still ongoing in 2020), the Company is offering its securities in a Regulation A securities offering. In 2019, the Company raised approximately $381,295 by issuing shares of preferred stock. As of December 31, 2018, the Company had recorded a balance of deferred offering costs of $3,333. In 2019, the Company incurred an additional $606,680 in offering costs including legal costs, broker licensing and other costs. The Company is recording these current and deferred offering costs as a reduction of the equity raised in the securities offering. In 2019, the Company spent more in offering costs than the offering yielded.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reporting in the financial statements and consist of taxes currently due plus deferred taxes related primarily to differences between the basis of receivables, inventory, property and equipment, intangible assets, cryptocurrency valuation and accrued expenses for financial and income tax reporting. The deferred tax assets and liabilities represent the future tax return consequences of those differences, which will either be taxable or deductible when the assets and liabilities are recovered or settled. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
The Company is taxed as a C Corporation for federal and state income tax purposes. As the Company has recently been formed, no material tax provision exists as of the balance sheet date.
The Company evaluates its tax positions that have been taken or are expected to be taken on income tax returns to determine if an accrual is necessary for uncertain tax positions. As of December 31, 2019, the unrecognized tax benefits accrual was zero.
The Company is current with its foreign, US federal and state income tax filing obligations and is not currently under examination from any taxing authority.
Revenue Recognition
In 2019, the Company adopted ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, as of inception. There was no transition adjustment recorded upon the adoption of ASC 606. Under ASC 606, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services, in an amount that reflects the consideration which the entity expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services.
To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that an entity determines are within the scope of ASC 606, the Company performs the following steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. At contract inception, once the contract is determined to be within the scope of ASC 606, the Company assesses the goods or services promised within each contract and determines those that are performance obligations and assesses whether each promised good or service is distinct. The Company then recognizes as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied.
Since inception, the Company has not yet recognized any revenue.
Advertising Expenses
The Company expenses advertising costs as they are incurred.
Organizational Costs
In accordance with GAAP, organizational costs, including accounting fees, legal fees, and costs of incorporation, are expensed as incurred.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company maintains its cash with a major financial institution located in the United States of America, which it believes to be credit worthy. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insures balances up to $250,000. At times, the Company may maintain balances in excess of the federally insured limits.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases, that requires organizations that lease assets, referred to as "lessees", to recognize on the balance sheet the assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by those leases with lease terms of more than 12 months. ASU 2016-02 will also require disclosures to help investors and other financial statement users better understand the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases and will include qualitative and quantitative requirements. The new standard for nonpublic entities will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and early application is permitted. We are currently evaluating the effect that the updated standard will have on our financial statements and related disclosures.
In August 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230).” ASU 2016-15 provides classification guidance for certain cash receipts and cash payments including payment of debt extinguishment costs, settlement of zero-coupon debt instruments, insurance claim payments and distributions from equity method investees. The standard is effective on January 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact the adoption will have on its financial statements and related disclosures.
The FASB issues ASUs to amend the authoritative literature in ASC. There have been a number of ASUs to date, including those above, that amend the original text of ASC. Management believes that those issued to date either (i) provide supplemental guidance, (ii) are technical corrections, (iii) are not applicable to us or (iv) are not expected to have a significant impact our balance sheet.
NOTE 3 – INCOME TAX PROVISION
As described above, the Company was recently formed and has only incurred costs of its start-up operations and capital raising. As such, no material tax provision yet exists.
NOTE 4 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Legal Matters
Company is not currently involved with and does not know of any pending or threatening litigation against the Company or founders.
NOTE 5 –EQUITY
As of December 31, 2018, the Company had authorized 200,000,000 shares of common stock, of which, 18,000,000 shares had been issued to its parent company, at par, in exchange for $180. In January 2019, the Company underwent a recapitalization of its share structure.
The Company converted the 18,000,000 shares of common stock into 18,000,000 shares of Class B Common Stock (which are still held by the Company’s parent).
Additionally, the Company has authorized 132,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock and 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock, of which 10,000,000 shares are designated as Class A Preferred Stock which is convertible into Class A Common Stock. None of the shares of the Class A Common Stock has been issued. In 2019, approximately $381,295 worth of shares of Preferred Stock have been issued. The company intends to offer and sell the 10,000,000 shares of Class A Preferred Stock as part of a Regulation A securities offering (discussed more below).
Class A Common stockholders are entitled to a single vote per share and have equal dividend and liquidation preferences as Class B Common stockholders. Class B Common stockholders have five votes per share and shares of Class B Common Stock can be converted into shares of Class A Common Stock at the option of the holder. Class A Preferred stockholders are entitled to a single vote per share and to an 8 percent annual dividend, which will accrue if funds are not legally available to distribute, in addition to a liquidation preference. Shares of Class A Preferred Stock can be converted into shares of Class A Common Stock at the option of the holder and shares will automatically converted in the event of a qualified public offering, as defined in the Certificate of Incorporation, as amended.
NOTE 6 – GOING CONCERN
These financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis. The Company began operation in 2018 and has limited operating history. The Company’s ability to continue is dependent upon management’s plan to raise additional funds (see Note 7) and achieve and sustain profitable operations. The Company has borrowed significantly from an affiliate company for financial support during since inception. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is not able to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 7 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Related Party Transactions
The Company has received working capital to cover expenses and costs while preparing for the securities offering from parent company in the amount of $1,028,739 as of the balance sheet date. The balance of these covered costs is recorded as a liability of the Company. The Company has formalized some of these borrowings, but expects to repay all of these amounts whether a formal promissory note exists or not.
As these are agreements between related parties, there is no guarantee that these rates or costs are commensurate with an arm’s-length arrangement.
NOTE 8 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Securities Offering

The Company engaged with various advisors and other professionals to facilitate the offering who were paid customary fees and equity interests for their work.
