PROSPECTUS
TV Channels Network Inc.
This is an initial public offering of our common stock. We are offering 1,250,000 shares of our common stock, assuming a public offering price of $5.00 per share (which is the midpoint of the estimated range of the public offering price). We currently estimate that the public offering price will be between $4.00 and $6.00 per share..
TV Channels Network Inc. is a Nevada based music and entertainment technology company whose primary business is providing Streaming services to subscribers. We intend to offer 100 Live Linear Concert Channels, Video on Demand, and various Live TV Channels as an AVOD/TVOD Service. TV Channels Network Inc. is preparing to become the next major entertainment content provider. Our goal is to create a conglomerate in many facets. Being a diversified entertainment business with multiple sources of income should allow us to earn positive returns. Moreover, TVCN, having already secured quality live concert titles, has a solid base for future profits to the benefit of our partners and investors. TV Channels Network - TV Channels Network.
Currently, there is no public market for our common stock. We have applied to list our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market, under the symbol “TVCN.” We cannot guarantee that our common stock will be approved for listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, and if our application is not approved, this offering cannot be completed.
After completion of this offering, public investors in the public offering will own approximately 3.2% of our outstanding shares of common stock, other investors will own approximately 12.6% of our outstanding shares of common stock, and approximately 84.6% of our outstanding common stock will be deemed to be owned by Darryl Payne. Accordingly, we are a “controlled company” under Nasdaq corporate governance rules and are eligible for certain exemptions from these rules, though we do not intend to rely on any such exemptions. See “Risk Factors - We will be a ‘controlled company’ within the meaning of the listing rules of Nasdaq and, as a result, can rely on exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements that provide protection to shareholders of other companies” on page 25 for more information.
Investing in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. See the section of this prospectus entitled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 15 for a discussion of information that should be considered in connection with an investment in our common stock.
Neither the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

Implications of Being an “Emerging Growth Company
As a public reporting company with less than $1.0 billion in revenue during our last fiscal year, we qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the Jumpstart our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act. 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:
·are not required to obtain an attestation and report from our auditors on our management’s assessment of our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002;
·are not 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);
1
·are not 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);
·are 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 & Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, or MD&A;
·are eligible to claim longer phase-in periods for the adoption of new or revised financial accounting standards under §107 of the JOBS Act; and
·are exempt from any PCAOB rules relating to mandatory audit firm rotation and any requirement to include an auditor discussion and analysis narrative in our audit report.
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 §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 §107 of the JOBS Act.
Certain of these reduced reporting requirements and exemptions were already available to us due to the fact that we also qualify as a “smaller reporting company” under SEC rules. For instance, smaller reporting companies are not required to obtain an auditor attestation and report regarding management’s assessment of internal control over financial reporting; are not required to provide a compensation discussion and analysis; are not required to 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.
Under the JOBS Act, we may take advantage of these 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, 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 $1.0 billion in annual revenues, have more than $700 million in market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates, or issue more than $1.0 billion of non-convertible debt over a three-year period. Furthermore, under current SEC rules we will continue to qualify as a “smaller reporting company” for so long as we (1) have a public float (i.e., the market value of common equity held by non-affiliates) of less than $75 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter; or (2) for so long as we have a public float of zero, have annual revenues of less than $50 million during our most recently completed fiscal year.
Investors should be aware that we will be subject to the “Penny Stock” rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, which regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in Penny Stocks. These regulations may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity, if any, in the secondary market for our stock, and investors in our common stock may find it difficult to sell their shares. Please see the disclosures under “Penny Stock Regulations” on Page 28 of this Prospectus for more information.

RISK FACTORS
Please consider the following risk factors before deciding to invest in our preferred and common stock.
This offering and any investment in our preferred and common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks discussed in this section and all of the information contained in this Prospectus before deciding whether to purchase our preferred or common stock.
If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be harmed. An investment in our common and preferred stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below and the other information in this Prospectus before investing in our preferred and common stock. If any of the following risks occur, our business, operating results, and financial condition could be seriously harmed. The trading price of our common stock could decline due to any of these risks, and you may lose all or part of your investment.
We Have a Limited Operating History
The Company has a limited operating history on which to base an evaluation of its business and prospects. The Company is subject to all the risks inherent in a small company seeking to develop, market and distribute new services, particularly companies in evolving markets such as the Internet. 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 development, introduction, marketing and distribution of new products and services in a competitive environment.
Such risks for the Company include, but are not limited to, dependence on the success and acceptance of the Company’s services, the ability to attract and retain a suitable client base, and the management of growth. To address these risksIn view of the rapidly evolving nature of the Company’s business and its limited operating history, the Company believes that period-to-period comparisons of its operating results are not necessarily meaningful and should not be relied upon as an indication of future performance.
We have limited revenue-producing operations and may ned additional capital
The Company has limited revenue-producing operations and will require the proceeds from this offering to execute its full business plan. The Company believes the proceeds from this offering will be sufficient to develop its initial plans. However, the Company can give no assurance that all, or even a significant portion of these shares will be sold or that the money raised will be sufficient to execute the entire business plan of the Company. Further, no assurance can be given if additional capital is needed as to how much additional capital will be required or that additional financing can be obtained, or if obtainable, that the terms will be satisfactory to the Company, or that such financing would not result in a substantial dilution of shareholder’s interest.
Competition
The internet-based entertainment business is highly competitive, and the Company competes with many different types of companies that offer some form of streaming entertainment content. Certain of these competitors may have greater industry experience or financial and other resources than the Company.
Growth Strategy Implementation: Ability to Manage Growth
The Company anticipates that significant expansion will be required to address potential growth in its customer base and market opportunities. The Company’s expansion is expected to place a significant strain on the Company’s management, operational and financial resources. To manage any material growth of its operations and personnel, the Company may be required to improve existing operational and financial systems, procedures, and controls and to expand, train and manage its employee base. There can be no assurance that the Company’s planned personnel, systems, procedures, and controls will be adequate to support the Company’s future operations, that management will be able to hire, train, retain, motivate, and manage required personnel or that the Company’s management will be able to successfully identify, manage and exploit existing and potential market opportunities. If the Company is unable to manage growth effectively, its business, prospects, financial condition, and results of operations may be materially adversely affected.
7
Dependence upon Management and Key Personnel
The Company is and will be heavily dependent on the skill, acumen, and services of the management of the Company. The loss of the services of these key individuals, and certain others, for any substantial length of time, would materially and adversely affect the Company’s results of operation and financial position. (See “Management”).
Possible Inability to Find Suitable Employees
The Company’s success depends significantly on its ability to attract and retain highly qualified personnel, including retaining the services of full-time employees, part-time employees, and managers to assist the Company in the conduct and management of the Company’s business. Competition for such personnel is intense. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to find these suitable employees or personnel, or if found, that these employees or personnel can be hired on terms favorable to the Company.
Other Nonpublic Sales of Securities Likely
As part of the Company’s plan to raise additional capital and because of the capital-intensive nature to establish a brand name on the Internet, the Company will likely make offers and sales of its common stock and/or preferred stock to qualified investors in transactions which are exempt from registration under the 1933 Act, as amended, in the future. Other offers and sales of common stock or preferred stock may be at prices per share that are higher or lower than the price per share in this offering or higher or lower than the conversion rate of the share of this offering. The Company reserves the right to set prices at its discretion, which prices need not relate to any ascertainable criterion of value. There can be no assurance the Company will not make other offers at lower prices per share, when, at the Company’s discretion, such price is deemed by the Company to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Arbitrary Offering Price
The offering price of the common shares offered hereunder has been arbitrarily determined and bears no relationship to any objective criterion of value. The price does not bear any relationship to the assets, book value, historical earnings, or net worth of the Company. In determining the offering price, the Company considered such factors as the prospects, if any, for similar companies, the previous experience of management, the Company’s anticipated results of operations, the present financial resources of the Company and the likelihood of acceptance of this offering. Please review any financial or other information contained in this Offering Circular with qualified people to determine its suitability as an investment before purchasing any shares in this offering.
We may experience significant losses from operations.
Even if we do generate operating income in one or more quarters in the future, subsequent developments in our industry, customer base, business or cost structure or an event such as significant litigation or a significant transaction may cause us to again experience operating losses. We may not become profitable in the long- term, or even for any.
There has been no public market for our common stock prior to this offering, and an active market in which investors can resell their shares of our common stock may not develop.
Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our common stock. We have applied to list of our common stock on Nasdaq under the symbol “TVCNTVCN.” The closing of this offering is contingent upon the successful listing of our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market. There is no guarantee that Nasdaq, or any other exchange or quotation system, will permit our common stock to be listed and traded. If we fail to obtain a listing on Nasdaq, we may seek quotation on the OTCQX Best Market or OTCQB Venture Market of the OTC Link ATS (alternative trading system) operated by OTC Markets Group, Inc. These markets are inter-dealer, over-the-counter markets that provide significantly less liquidity than Nasdaq.
Even if our common stock is approved for listing on Nasdaq, a liquid public market for our common stock may not develop. The initial public offering price for our common stock has been determined by negotiation between us and the underwriters based upon several factors, including prevailing market conditions, our historical performance, estimates of our business potential and earnings prospects, and the market valuations of similar companies. The price at which the common stock is traded after this offering may decline below the initial public offering price, meaning
8
that you may experience a decrease in the value of your common stock regardless of our operating performance or prospects.
We may not be able to satisfy listing requirements of Nasdaq or obtain or maintain a listing of our common stock on Nasdaq.
If our common stock is listed on Nasdaq, we must meet certain financial and liquidity criteria to maintain such listing. If we violate Nasdaq’s listing requirements, or if we fail to meet any of Nasdaq’s listing standards, our common stock may be delisted. In addition, our board of directors may determine that the cost of maintaining our listing on a national securities exchange outweighs the benefits of such listing. A delisting of our common stock from Nasdaq may materially impair our shareholders’ ability to buy and sell our common stock and could have an adverse effect on the market price of, and the efficiency of the trading market for, our common stock. The delisting of our common stock could significantly impair our ability to raise capital and the value of your investment.
Listing our common stock on a securities exchange will likely increase our regulatory burden.
We have applied for the listing of our common stock under the symbol “TVCN” on the Nasdaq Capital Market. Our application has not yet been approved by Nasdaq, and there is no guarantee that our application will be approved in connection with this offering. Although to date we have not been subject to the continuous and timely disclosure requirements of exchange rules, regulations and policies of Nasdaq, we are working with our legal, accounting and financial advisors to identify those areas in which changes should be made to our financial management control systems to manage our obligations as a public company listed on Nasdaq. These areas include corporate governance, corporate controls, disclosure controls and procedures and financial reporting and accounting systems. We have made, and will continue to make, changes in these and other areas, including our internal controls over financial reporting. However, we cannot assure holders of our shares that these and other measures that we might take will be sufficient to allow us to satisfy our obligations as a public company listed on Nasdaq on a timely basis and that we will be able to achieve and maintain compliance with applicable listing requirements. In addition, compliance with reporting and other requirements applicable to public companies listed on Nasdaq will create additional costs for us and will require the time and attention of management. We cannot predict the amount of the additional costs that we might incur, the timing of such costs or the effects that management’s attention to these matters will have on our business.
The market price of our common stock may fluctuate, and you could lose all or part of your investment.
After this offering, the market price for our common stock is likely to be volatile, in part because our shares have not been traded publicly. In addition, the market price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly in response to several factors, most of which we cannot control, including:
·actual or anticipated variations in our periodic operating results;
·increases in market interest rates that lead investors of our common stock to demand a higher investment return;
·changes in earnings estimates;
·changes in market valuations of similar companies;
·actions or announcements by our competitors;
·adverse market reaction to any increased indebtedness we may incur in the future;
·additions or departures of key personnel;
·actions by shareholders;
·speculation in the media, online forums, or investment community; and
·our intentions and ability to list our common stock on Nasdaq and our subsequent ability to maintain such listing.
The public offering price of our common stock has been determined by negotiations between us and the underwriters based upon many factors and may not be indicative of prices that will prevail following the closing of this offering. Volatility in the market price of our common stock may prevent investors from being able to sell their common stock at or above the initial public offering price. As a result, you may suffer a loss on your investment.
9
We do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future.
To date, the Company has not declared or paid any cash dividends on its stock and does not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future. The payment of cash dividends, if any, in the future will be at the sole discretion of the Board of Directors.
We will be a “controlled company” within the meaning of the listing rules of Nasdaq and, as a result, can rely on exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements that provide protection to shareholders of other companies.
Because Darryl Payne owns a majority of our common stock and will own a majority of our common stock after this offering, we will be a “controlled company” as defined under the listing rules of Nasdaq. Under Nasdaq listing rules, controlled companies are companies of which more than 50% of the voting power for the election of directors is held by an individual, a group, or another company. For as long as we remain a controlled company, we are permitted to elect to rely on certain exemptions from Nasdaq’s corporate governance rules, including the following:
·an exemption from the rule that a majority of our board of directors must be independent directors;
·an exemption from the rule that our compensation committee be composed entirely of independent directors;
·an exemption from the rule that our director nominees must be selected or recommended solely by independent directors or a nominating committee composed solely of independent directors;
Although we do not intend to rely on the “controlled company” exemptions to Nasdaq’s corporate governance rules, we could elect to rely on these exemptions in the future. If we elected to rely on the “controlled company” exemptions, a majority of the members of our board of directors might not be independent directors, our nominating and corporate governance and compensation committees might not consist entirely of independent directors upon closing of the offering, and you would not have the same protection afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to Nasdaq’s corporate governance rules.
The application of the net proceeds of this offering is substantially within the discretion of the management.
Although a majority portion of the net proceeds of this Offering Circular is for specific uses, the balance will be available for working capital and general corporate purposes. Therefore, the application of the net proceeds of this offering is substantially within the discretion of the management. Investors will be relying on the Company’s management and business judgment based solely on limited information. No assurance can be given that the application of the net proceeds of this Offering Circular will result in the Company achieving its financial and strategic objectives.
There has been no independent valuation of our stock, which means that our common stock may be worth less than the offering price in the offering.
The per share purchase price in the offering has been determined by us without independent valuation of our shares of common stock. The initial public offering price for our common stock has been determined by negotiation between us and the underwriters based upon several factors, including prevailing market conditions, our historical performance, estimates of our business potential and earnings prospects, and the market valuations of similar companies. There is no relation to the market value, book value, or any other established criteria. We did not obtain an independent appraisal opinion on the valuation of our shares. Our shares of common stock may have a value significantly less than the offering price, and the shares may never obtain a value equal to or greater than the offering price.
The offering price of the primary offering and resale offering could differ.
The offering price of our common stock in the primary offering (the initial public offering) has been determined by negotiations between the Company and the underwriter based upon several factors, including prevailing market conditions, our historical performance, estimates of our business potential and earnings prospects, and the market valuations of similar companies. The offering price in the primary offering bears no relationship to our assets, earnings or book value, or any other objective standard of value. Additionally, the estimated offering price in the primary offering of $[ ] per share is substantially higher than the prices at which the selling stockholders acquired their shares ($1.00 and $2.00 per share), and we recently sold stock at prices ($1.00 and $2.00 per share) substantially less than the primary offering price. Our recent share issuances at prices substantially less than the primary offering price
10
occurred while we were a non-public company, and the shares we issued were subject to transfer restrictions imposed by the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and by lock-up restrictions, whereas shares issued in the primary offering will be issued after we are a public company and will be issued without restriction.
The selling stockholders may sell the resale shares at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices after close of the primary offering and listing of our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market. Therefore, the offering prices of our common stock in the primary offering and the resale offering could differ. As a result, purchasers in the resale offering could pay more or less than the offering price in the primary offering.
The resale by the selling stockholders may cause the market price of our common stock to decline.
The resale of shares of our common stock by the selling stockholders in the resale offering could result in resales of our common stock by our other shareholders concerned about selling volume. In addition, the resale by the selling stockholders after expiration of the lock-up period could have the effect of depressing the market price for our common stock.
If securities industry analysts do not publish research reports on us, or publish unfavorable reports on us, then the market price and market trading volume of our common stock could be negatively affected.
Any trading market for our common stock may be influenced in part by any research reports that securities industry analysts publish about us. We do not currently have and may never obtain research coverage by securities industry analysts. If no securities industry analysts commence coverage of us, the market price and market trading volume of our common stock could be negatively affected. In the event we are covered by analysts, and one or more of such analysts downgrade our securities, or otherwise reports on us unfavorably, or discontinues coverage of us, the market price and market trading volume of our common stock could be negatively affected.
The Company is Entirely Dependent on its Internet Content for Digital Broadcast for use by Televisions, Computers and Mobile Devices, and the Company’s Future Revenue Depends on Its Commercial Success
The Company’s future development and growth depends on the commercial success of the Company’s Internet Broadcast content delivery service. The Company’s streaming service, or other services under development, may not achieve widespread market acceptance. The Company has recently begun to commercially introduce its service for the delivery of digital video (with audio), and the Company’s future growth will depend, in part, on customer acceptance of this service. Failure of the Company’s current and planned services to operate as expected could delay or prevent their adoption. If the Company’s targeted customers do not purchase and successfully deploy the Company’s planned services, the Company’s revenue will not grow significantly the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition will be seriously harmed. In addition, to the extent that the Company promotes any portion of its streaming technology as an industry standard by making it readily available to users for little or no charge, the Company may not receive revenue that might otherwise have been received by the Company.
The Internet Content Delivery Market for Television, Computer and Mobile Devices is Relatively New, and the Company’s Business will Suffer if it Does Not Continue to Develop as the Company Expects
The market for Internet content delivery services to televisions, computers and mobile devices is relatively new. The Company cannot be certain that a viable market for the Company’s Broadcast technology service will emerge or be sustainable. If this market does not develop or develops more slowly than the Company expects, the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition will be seriously harmed.
ANY FAILURE OF THE COMPANY’S INTERNET BROADCAST NETWORK INFRASTRUCTURE COULD LEAD TO SIGNIFICANT COSTS AND DISRUPTIONS WHICH COULD REDUCE THE COMPANY’S REVENUE AND HARM THE COMPANY’S BUSINESS, FINANCIAL RESULTS, AND REPUTATION.
The Company’s business is dependent on providing its customers with fast, efficient and reliable Internet Broadcasted content. To meet these customer requirements, the Company must protect its network infrastructure against damage from:
·Human Error;
·Physical and Electronic Security Breaches;
·Fire, Earthquake, Flood, and other Natural Disasters;
11
·Power Loss;
·Sabotage and Vandalism; and
·Similar Events.
Any Failure of the Company’s Telecommunications Providers to Provide Required Transmission Capacity to the Company Could Result in Interruptions in the Company’s Service
The Company’s operations are dependent upon transmission capacity provided by third-party telecommunications providers. Any failure of such telecommunications providers to provide the capacity that the Company requires may result in a reduction in, or termination of, service to the Company’s customers. This failure may be a result of the telecommunications providers or Internet service providers choosing services that are competitive with the Company’s service, failing to comply with or terminating their agreements with the Company, or otherwise not entering relationships with the Company at all, or on terms commercially acceptable to the Company. If the Company does not have access to third-party transmission capacity, the Company could lose customers or fees charged to such customers, and the Company’s business and financial results could suffer.
The Markets in Which the Company Operates are Highly Competitive and the Company may be unable to Compete Successfully against New Entrants and Established Companies with Greater Resources.
The Company competes in markets that are new, intensely competitive, highly fragmented and rapidly changing. Many of the Company’s current competitors, as well as a few of the Company’s potential competitors, have longer operating histories, greater name recognition, and substantially greater financial, technical and marketing resources than the Company does. Some of the Company’s current or potential competitors have the financial resources to withstand substantial price competition. Moreover, many of the Company’s competitors have more extensive customer bases, broader customer relationships and broader industry alliances that they could use to their advantage in competitive situations, including relationships with many of the Company’s potential customers. The Company’s competitors may be able to respond more quickly than the Company can to new or emerging technologies and changes in customer requirements.
As competition in the Internet content delivery market continues to intensify, new solutions will come to market. The Company is aware that other companies will in the future focus significant resources on developing and marketing digital broadcast products and services that will compete with the Company’s products and services.
Increased competition could result in:
·Price and Revenue Reductions and Lower Profit Margins;
·Increased Cost of Service from Telecommunications Providers;
·Loss of Customers; and
·Loss of Market Share
Anyone of these could materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operations.
The Company’s Business will suffer if the Business is Not Able to Scale Its Network as Demand Increases
The Company has had only limited deployment of its Internet Broadcast content delivery service to date, and the Company cannot be certain that its network can connect and manage a substantially larger number of customers at high transmission speeds. The Company’s network may not be scalable to expected customer levels while maintaining superior performance. In addition, as customers’ usage of bandwidth increases, the Company will need to make additional investments in its infrastructure to maintain adequate downstream data transmission speeds. The Company cannot assure you that it will be able to make these investments successfully or at an acceptable cost. Upgrading the Company’s infrastructure may cause delays or failures in the Company’s network. As a result, in the future, the Company’s network may be unable to achieve or maintain a sufficiently high transmission capacity. The Company’s failure to achieve or maintain high-capacity data transmission could significantly reduce demand for the Company’s service, reducing the Company’s revenue and causing the Company’s business and financial results to suffer.
12
The Company’s Business may suffer if the Company Does Not Respond to Technological Changes
The market for Internet content delivery services is likely to be characterized by rapid technological change, frequent new product and service introductions and changes in customer requirements. The Company may be unable to respond quickly or effectively to these developments. If competitors introduce products, services or technologies that are better than that of the Company, or that gain greater market acceptance, or if new industry standards emerge, our Internet-based broadcast technology may become obsolete, which would materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition.
In developing the Company’s Internet-based broadcast service, the Company has made and will continue to make assumptions about the standards that the Company’s customers and competitors may adopt. If the standards adopted are different from those which the Company may now or in the future promote or support, market acceptance of the Company’s service may be significantly reduced or delayed, and the Company’s business will be seriously harmed. In addition, the introduction of services or products incorporating new technologies and the emergence of new industry standards could render the Company’s existing services obsolete.
If the Company Fails 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 Internet Broadcasting Products and Services. This may require a significant amount of capital to allow the Company to market the Company’s Internet Broadcasting products and services and to 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 those 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.
If Studios, Content Providers or Other Rights Holders Refuse to License Streaming Content or Other Rights Upon Terms Acceptable to the Company, the Company’s Business Could be Adversely Affected
The Company’s ability to provide its members with content they can watch and/or listen to instantly depends on studios, content providers and other rights holders licensing rights to distribute such content and certain related elements thereof, such as the public performance of music contained within the content that the Company distributes. The license periods and the terms and conditions of such licenses vary. If the studios, content providers and other rights holders are not, or are no longer willing, or are unable to license to the Company upon terms that are acceptable to the Company, the Company’s ability to stream content to the Company’s Members will be adversely affected and/or the Company’s costs could increase. Many of the licenses for content provide for the studios or other content providers to withdraw content from the Company’s service relatively quickly. Because of these provisions, as well as other actions the Company may take, content available through the Company’s streaming service can be withdrawn on short notice. As competition increases, the Company may see the cost of programming increase. As the Company seeks to differentiate its service, the Company is increasingly focused on securing certain exclusive rights when obtaining content, including original content. The Company is also focused on programming an overall mix of content that delights the Company’s members in a cost-efficient manner. Within this context, the Company will be selective about the titles that it adds and renews to its service. If the Company does not maintain a compelling mix of content, the Company’s member acquisition and retention numbers may be adversely affected.
Music contained within content that it distributes may require the Company to obtain licenses for such distribution. In this regard, the Company will engage in negotiations with performing rights organizations and collection societies (“PROs”) that hold certain rights to music interests when “publicly performed” or “communicated to the public” in connection with streaming content into various territories. If the Company is unable to reach mutually acceptable terms with these organizations, the Company could become involved in litigation and/or could be enjoined from distributing certain content, which could adversely impact the Company’s business. Additionally, pending and ongoing litigation, as well as negotiations between certain PROs and other third parties in various territories could adversely impact the Company’s negotiations with PROs or result in music publishers represented by certain PROs to unilaterally withdraw rights, and thereby adversely impact the Company’s ability to reach licensing agreements
13
acceptable to the Company. Failure to reach such licensing agreements could expose the Company to potential liability for copyright infringement or otherwise increase the Company’s cost(s).
If our efforts to attract and retain members are not successful, our business will be adversely affected.
Our ability to attract members will depend in part on our ability to consistently provide our members with valuable and quality experience for selecting and viewing audio and video content. Furthermore, the relative service levels, content offerings, pricing, and related features of competitors to our service may adversely impact our ability to attract and retain members. Competitors include multichannel video programming distributors providing free on-demand content through authenticated Internet applications, Internet-based movie, and TV content providers, including both those that provide legal and illegal (or pirated) entertainment video content, DVD rental outlets and kiosk services and entertainment video retail stores. If consumers do not perceive our service offering to be of value, or if we introduce new or adjust existing features or change the mix of content in a manner that is not favorably received by them, we may not be able to attract and retain members. If our efforts to satisfy our existing members are not successful, we may not be able to attract members, and as a result, our ability to maintain and/or grow our business will be adversely affected. Members cancel our service for many reasons, including a perception that they do not use the service sufficiently, the need to cut household expenses, availability of content is unsatisfactory, competitive services provide a better value or experience and customer service issues are not satisfactorily resolved. We must continually add new members both to replace members who cancel and to grow our business beyond our current member base. If too many of our members cancel our service, or if we are unable to attract new members in numbers sufficient to grow our business, our operating results will be adversely affected. If we are unable to successfully compete with current and new competitors in both retaining our existing members and attracting new members, our business will be adversely affected. Further, if excessive numbers of members cancel our service, we may be required to incur significantly higher marketing expenditures than we currently anticipate replacing these members with new members.
If we are unable to compete effectively, our business will be adversely affected.
The market for entertainment audio and video is intensely competitive and subject to rapid change. New technologies and evolving business models for delivery of entertainment videos continue to develop at a fast pace. The growth of Internet-connected devices, including TVs, computers and mobile devices has increased the consumer acceptance of Internet delivery of entertainment video. Through these new and existing distribution channels, consumers are afforded various means for consuming entertainment audio and video. The various economic models underlying these different means of entertainment video delivery include subscription, transactional, ad-supported, and piracy-based models. All of these have the potential to capture meaningful segments of the entertainment audio and video market. Several competitors have longer operating histories, large customer bases, strong brand recognition, and significant financial, marketing, and other resources. They may secure better terms from suppliers, adopt more aggressive pricing, and devote more resources to technology, fulfillment, and marketing. New entrants may enter the market with unique service offerings or approaches to providing entertainment videos, and other companies also may enter business combinations or alliances that strengthen their competitive positions. If we are unable to compete with current and new competitors, programs, and technologies successfully or profitably, our business will be adversely affected, and we may not be able to increase or maintain market share, revenues or profitability.
The long-term and fixed cost nature of our content licenses may limit our operating flexibility and could adversely affect our liquidity and results of operation.
In connection with obtaining streaming content, we plan to enter into multi-year licenses with studios and other content providers, the payment terms of which are not tied to member usage or the size of our member base (“fixed cost”), but which may be tied to such factors as titles licensed and/or theatrical exhibition receipts. Given the multiple-year duration and largely fixed cost nature of content licenses, if member acquisition and retention do not meet our expectations, our margins may be adversely impacted. Payment terms for streaming licenses, especially programming that is initially available in the applicable territory on our service (“original programming”), or that is considered output content, will typically require more up-front cash payments than other licensing agreements. To the extent member and/or revenue growth do not meet our expectations, our liquidity and results of operations could be adversely affected because of content licensing commitments and accelerated payment requirements of certain licenses. In addition, the long-term and fixed cost nature of our content licenses may limit our flexibility in planning for or reacting to changes in our business and the market segments in which we operate. As we expand internationally, we must license content in advance of entering a new geographical market. If we license content that is not favorably received by consumers in the applicable territory, acquisition, and retention may be adversely impacted and given the
14
long-term and fixed cost nature of our content licenses, we may not be able to adjust our content offering quickly, and our results of operation may be adversely impacted.
If our efforts to build a strong brand identity and improve member satisfaction and loyalty are not successful, we may not be able to attract or retain members, and our operating results may be adversely affected.
We must build and maintain a strong brand identity. We believe that strong brand identity will be important in attracting and retaining members who have a few choices from which to obtain entertainment video. To build a strong brand, we believe we must offer content and service features that our members value and enjoy. We also believe that these must be coupled with effective consumer communications, such as marketing, customer service and public relations. If our efforts to promote and maintain our brand are not successful, our ability to attract and retain members may be adversely affected. Such a result, coupled with the increasingly long-term and fixed cost nature of our content acquisition licenses, may adversely affect our operating results.
We face risks, such as unforeseen costs and potential liability in connection with content we produce, license and/or distribute through our service.
As a distributor of content, we face potential liability for negligence, copyright, or trademark infringement or other claims based on the nature and content of materials that we produce, license and/or distribute. We also may face potential liability for content used in promoting our service, including marketing materials and features on our website. As we expand our original programming, we will become responsible for production costs and other expenses, such as ongoing guild payments. We will also take on risks associated with the production, such as completion and key talent risk. To the extent we do not accurately anticipate costs or mitigate risks, or if we become liable for the content we produce, license and/or distribute, our business may suffer. Litigation to defend these claims could be costly and the expenses and damages arising from any liability or unforeseen production risks could harm the results of operations. We cannot assure that we are indemnified to cover claims or costs of these types and we may not have insurance coverage for these types of claims.
If studios, content providers or other rights holders refuse to license streaming content or other rights upon terms acceptable to us, our business could be adversely affected.
Our ability to provide our members with content they can watch or listen to instantly depends on studios, content providers and other rights holders licensing rights to distribute such content and certain related elements thereof, such as the public performance of music contained within the content we distribute. The license periods and the terms and conditions of such licenses vary. If the studios, content providers and other rights holders are not or are no longer willing or able to license our content upon terms acceptable to us, our ability to stream content to our members will be adversely affected and/, or our costs could increase. Many of the licenses for content provide for the studios or other content providers to withdraw content from our service relatively quickly. Because of these provisions as well as other actions we may take, content available through our service can be withdrawn on short notice. As competition increases, we may see the cost of programming increase. As we seek to differentiate our service, we are increasingly focused on securing certain exclusive rights when obtaining content, including original content. We are also focused on programming an overall mix of content that delights our members in a cost-efficient manner. Within this context, we are selective about the titles we add and renew to our service. If we do not maintain a compelling mix of content, our member acquisition and retention may be adversely affected.
Music contained within content we distribute may require us to obtain licenses for such distribution. In this regard, we will engage in negotiations with performing rights organizations and collection societies (“PROs”) that hold certain rights to music interests when “publicly performed” or “communicated to the public” in connection with streaming content into various territories. If we are unable to reach mutually acceptable terms with these organizations, we could become involved in litigation and/or could be prevented from distributing certain content, which could adversely impact our business. Additionally, pending and ongoing litigation as well as negotiations between certain PROs and other third parties in various territories could adversely impact our negotiations with PROs or result in music publishers represented by certain PROs to unilaterally withdraw rights, and thereby adversely impact our ability to reach licensing agreements reasonably acceptable to us. Failure to reach such licensing agreements could expose us to potential liability for copyright infringement or otherwise increase our costs.
15
If government regulations relating to the Internet or other areas of our business change, we may need to alter the way we conduct our business or incur greater operating expenses.
The adoption or modification of laws or regulations relating to the Internet or other areas of our business could limit or otherwise adversely affect the way we currently conduct our business. In addition, the continued growth and development of the market for online commerce may lead to more stringent consumer protection laws, which may impose additional burdens on us. If we are required to comply with new regulations or legislation or new interpretations of existing regulations or legislation, this compliance could cause us to incur additional expenses or alter our business model.
The adoption of any laws or regulations that adversely affect the growth, popularity, or use of the Internet, including laws impacting Internet neutrality, could decrease the demand for our service and increase our cost of doing business. For example, in late 2010, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) adopted so-called net neutrality rules intended, in part, to prevent network operators from discriminating against legal traffic that transverse their networks. Recently, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia struck down the FCC’s net neutrality rules, and it is currently uncertain how the FCC will respond to this decision. To the extent network operators attempt to use this ruling to extract fees from us to deliver our traffic or otherwise engage in discriminatory practices, our business could be adversely impacted. As we expand internationally, government regulation concerning the Internet, and in particular, network neutrality, may be nascent or non-existent. Within such a regulatory environment, coupled with the potentially significant political and economic power of local network operators, we could experience discriminatory or anti-competitive practices that could impede our growth, cause us to incur additional expense or otherwise negatively affect our business.
Changes in how network operators handle and charge for access to data that travel across their networks could adversely impact on our business.
We rely upon the ability of consumers to access our service through the Internet. To the extent that network operators implement usage-based pricing, including meaningful bandwidth caps, or otherwise try to monetize access to their networks by data providers, we could incur greater operating expenses and our member acquisition and retention could be negatively impacted. Furthermore, to the extent network operators were to create tiers of Internet access service and either charge us for or prohibit us from being available through these tiers, our business could be negatively impacted.
Most network operators that provide consumers with access to the Internet also provide these consumers with multichannel video programming. As such, many network operators have an incentive to use their network infrastructure in a manner adverse to our continued growth and success. For example, Comcast exempted certain of its own Internet video traffic (e.g., Streampix videos to the Xbox 360) from a bandwidth cap that applies to all unaffiliated Internet video traffic (e.g., Netflix videos to the Xbox 360). While we believe that consumer demand, regulatory oversight, and competition will help check these incentives, to the extent that network operators are able to provide preferential treatment to their data as opposed to ours or otherwise implement discriminatory network management practices, our business could be negatively impacted.
Increases in payment processing fees, changes to operating rules, the acceptance of new types of payment methods or payment fraud could increase our operating expenses and adversely affect our business and results of operations.
Our customers may pay for our membership services predominantly using credit and debit cards (together, “payment cards”). Our acceptance of these payment methods requires our payment of certain fees. From time to time, these fees may increase, either because of rate changes by the payment processing companies or as a result of a change in our business practices which increase the fees on a cost-per-transaction basis. Such increases may adversely affect the results of operations.
We are subject to rules, regulations, and practices governing our accepted payment methods. These rules, regulations, and practices could change or be reinterpreted to make it difficult or impossible for us to comply. If we fail to comply with these rules or requirements, we may be subject to fines and higher transaction fees and lose our ability to accept these payment methods, and our business and results of operations would be adversely affected.
We accept payment methods other than payment cards. As our service continues to evolve and expand internationally, we will likely continue to explore accepting various forms of payment, which may have higher fees
16
and costs than our currently accepted payment methods. If more consumers utilize higher cost payment methods, our payment costs could increase, and our results of operations could be adversely impacted.
In addition, we do not obtain signatures from customers in connection with their use of payment methods. To the extent we do not obtain customers’ signatures, we may be liable for fraudulent payment transactions, even when the associated financial institution approves payment of the orders. From time to time, fraudulent payment methods are used to obtain service. While we do have certain safeguards in place, we nonetheless experience some fraudulent transactions. We do not currently carry insurance against the risk of fraudulent payment transactions. A failure to adequately control fraudulent payment transactions would harm our business and the results of operations.
If the market segment for online entertainment video saturates, our business will be adversely affected.
The market segment for online entertainment video has grown significantly. Much of the increasing growth can be attributed to the ability of our customers to stream TV shows and movies on their TVs, computers, and mobile devices. As we face more competition in our market segment, our rate of growth relative to overall growth in the segment may decline. Further, a decline in our rate of growth could indicate that the market segment for online subscription-based entertainment video is beginning to saturate. While we believe that this segment will continue to grow in the foreseeable future, if this market segment were to saturate, our business would be adversely affected.
Intellectual property claims against us could be costly and result in the loss of significant rights related to, among other things, our website, streaming technology, our recommendation, and merchandising technology, title selection processes and marketing activities.
Trademark, copyright, patent, and other intellectual property rights are important to us and other companies. Our intellectual property rights extend to our technology, business processes and the content on our website. We use the intellectual property of third parties in merchandising our products and marketing our service through contractual and other rights. From time to time, third parties may allege that we have violated their intellectual property rights. If we are unable to obtain sufficient rights, successfully defend our use, or develop non-infringing technology or otherwise alter our business practices on a timely basis in response to claims against us for infringement, misappropriation, misuse or other violation of third-party intellectual property rights, our business and competitive position may be adversely affected. Many companies are devoting significant resources to developing patents that could potentially affect many aspects of our business. There are numerous patents that broadly claim means and methods of conducting business on the Internet. We have not searched for patents related to our technology. Defending ourselves against intellectual property claims, whether they are with or without merit or are determined in our favor, results in costly litigation and diversion of technical and management personnel. It also may result in our inability to use our current Web site, streaming technology, our recommendation and merchandising technology or inability to market our service or merchandise our products. As a result of a dispute, we may have to develop non-infringing technology, enter into royalty or licensing agreements, adjust our merchandising or marketing activities, or take other actions to resolve the claims. These actions, if required, may be costly or unavailable on terms acceptable to us.
We may issue shares of preferred stock in the future that may adversely impact your rights as holders of our common stock.
Our Certificate of Incorporation authorizes us to issue up to 800,000,000 shares of preferred stock. Accordingly, our board of directors will have the authority to fix and determine the relative rights and preferences of preferred shares, as well as the authority to issue such shares, without further stockholder approval. Currently there are no shares of Preferred stock issued and outstanding. We have not yet determined how many votes each share of preferred stock will be designated to a security holder of our Preferred Stock at stockholders’ meetings, for all purposes, including election of directors.
Our board of directors could authorize the issuance of a series of preferred stock that would grant to holders preferred rights to our assets upon liquidation, the right to receive dividends before dividends are declared to holders of our common stock, and the right to the redemption of such preferred shares, together with a premium, prior to the redemption of the common stock. To the extent that we do issue such additional shares of preferred stock, your rights as holders of common stock could be impaired thereby, including, without limitation, dilution of your ownership interests in us. In addition, shares of preferred stock could be issued with terms calculated to delay or prevent a change in control or make removal of management more difficult, which may not be in your interest as holders of common stock.

We may be exposed to potential risks resulting from requirements under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.
If we become a reporting company we will be required, pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, to include in our annual report our assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. We do not have a sufficient number of employees to segregate responsibilities and may be unable to afford to increase our staff or engage outside consultants or professionals to overcome our lack of employees.
We do not currently have independent audit or compensation committees. As a result, our directors have the ability, among other things, to determine their own level of compensation. Until we comply with such corporate governance measures, regardless of whether such compliance is required, the absence of such standards of corporate governance may leave our stockholders without protections against interested director transactions, conflicts of interest and similar matters and investors may be reluctant to provide us with funds necessary to expand our operations.
Dilution.
Purchasers of Shares will experience immediate and substantial dilution of $2.67 per share in net tangible book value, or approximately 67% of the assumed offering price of $4.00 per share (assuming maximum offering proceeds are achieved). Additional Shares issued by the Company in the future will also dilute a purchaser’s investment in the Shares.
Projections: Forward Looking Information
Management has prepared projections regarding TV Channels Network Inc.’ anticipated financial performance. The Company’s projections are hypothetical and based upon the presumed financial performance of the Company, the addition of a sophisticated and well-funded marketing plan, and other factors influencing the business of TV Channels Network Inc. The projections are based on Management’s best estimate of the probable results of operations of the Company, based on present circumstances, and have not been reviewed by TV Channels Network Inc.’ independent accountants. These projections are based on several assumptions, set forth therein, which Management believes are reasonable. Some assumptions upon which the projections are based, however, invariably will not materialize due the inevitable occurrence of unanticipated events and circumstances beyond Management’s control. Therefore, actual results of operations will vary from the projections, and such variances may be material. Assumptions regarding future changes in sales and revenues are necessarily speculative in nature. In addition, projections do not and cannot consider such factors as general economic conditions, unforeseen regulatory changes, the entry into TV Channels Network Inc.’ market of additional competitors, the terms and conditions of future capitalization, and other risks inherent to the Company’s business. While Management believes that the projections accurately reflect possible future results of TV Channels Network Inc.’ operations, those results cannot be guaranteed.

Notes to Use of Proceeds:
1.These figures are estimates only, account for the first twelve (12) months of operations and are subject to revision from time to time to meet the Company’s requirements.

The expected use of net proceeds from this Offering represents our intentions based upon our current plans and business conditions, which could change in the future as our plans and business conditions evolve and change. The amounts and timing of our actual expenditures, specifically with respect to working capital, may vary significantly depending on numerous factors. The precise amounts that we will devote to each of the foregoing items, and the timing of expenditures, will vary depending on numerous factors. As a result, our management will retain broad discretion over the allocation of the net proceeds from this Offering.
In the event we do not sell all of the shares being offered, we may seek additional financing from other sources in order to support the intended use of the proceeds indicated above. If we secure additional equity funding, investors in this Offering would be diluted. In all events, there can be no assurance that additional financing would be available to us when wanted or needed and, if available, on terms acceptable to us.

DILUTION
“Dilution” represents the difference between the offering price of the shares of common stock and the net book value per share of common stock immediately after completion of the offering. “Net book value” is the amount that results from subtracting total liabilities from total assets. In this offering, the level of dilution is increased as a result of the relatively low book value of TV Channels Network Inc. issued and outstanding stock. The following table sets forth on a pro forma basis at September 30, 2024, the differences between existing stockholders and new investors with respect to the number of shares of common stock purchased from us, the total consideration paid to us, and the average price paid per share (assuming a proposed public offering price of $4.00 per share).
The dilution calculations we have set forth in this section reflect an offering price of $4.00 per share.
As of December 31, 2023, we had a net tangible book value of $374 or $(0.0001) per share of issued and outstanding common stock.

DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE
There is no established public market for the shares we are registering. Since there is no established public trading market for our common stock, the common shares offering price was arbitrarily established by us, and bears no relationship to any objective criterion of value. Although the registrant’s common stock has a par value of $0.001, the registrant believes that the calculation of [ ] per share for the common shares is a bona fide estimate of the offering price in accordance with Rule 457(a). This price bears no relationship whatsoever to our business plan, the price paid for our shares by our founder, our assets, earnings, book value or any other criteria of value. No valuation or appraisal has been prepared for our business. The offering price should not be regarded as an indicator of the market price, if any, of the common stock that may develop in a trading market after this offering, which is likely to fluctuate. We cannot assure you that a public market for our securities will develop or continue or that the securities will ever trade at a price higher than the offering price. The offering of the common shares is at a fixed price of $[ ] per share for the entire duration of the offering. The $[ ] fixed price of the shares that are being offered on a best efforts basis was arbitrarily determined.

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE
Future sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market could adversely affect market prices prevailing from time to time. The shares of our common stock offered may be resold without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act, except that any shares purchased by our “affiliates,” as that term is defined under the Securities Act, may generally only be sold in compliance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act.
Rule 144
In general, Rule 144 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act, provides:
If the issuer of the securities is, and has been for a period of at least 90 days immediately before the sale, subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, a minimum of six months must elapse between the later of the date of the acquisition of the securities from the issuer, or from an affiliate of the issuer, and any resale of such securities in reliance on this section for the account of either the acquirer or any subsequent holder of those securities.
If the issuer of the securities is not, or has not been for a period of at least 90 days immediately before the sale, subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, a minimum of one year must elapse between the later of the date of the acquisition of the securities from the issuer, or from an affiliate of the issuer, and any resale of such securities in reliance on this section for the account of either the acquirer or any subsequent holder of those securities.
Except as provided in Rule 144, the amount of securities sold for the account of an affiliate of the issuer in reliance upon this section shall be determined as follows: If any securities are sold for the account of an affiliate of the issuer, regardless of whether those securities are restricted, the amount of securities sold, together with all sales of securities of the same class sold for the account of such person within the preceding three months, shall not exceed the greatest of: (A) one percent of the shares or other units of the class outstanding as shown by the most recent report or statement published by the issuer, or (B) the average weekly reported volume of trading in such securities on all national securities exchanges and/or reported through the automated quotation system of a registered securities association during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of notice required by paragraph (h) of Rule 144, or if no such notice is required the date of receipt of the order to execute the transaction by the broker or the date of execution of the transaction directly with a market maker, or (C) the average weekly volume of trading in such securities reported pursuant to an effective transaction reporting plan or an effective national market system plan during the four-week period specified in paragraph (e)(1)(ii) of Rule 144.
Notwithstanding paragraph (i)(1) of Rule 144, if the issuer of the securities previously had been an issuer described in paragraph (i)(1)(i) but has ceased to be an issuer described in paragraph (i)(1)(i); is subject to the reporting
22
requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act; has filed all reports and other materials required to be filed by Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, as applicable, during the preceding 12 months (or for such shorter period that the issuer was required to file such reports and materials), other than Form 8-K reports, and has filed current “Form 10 information” with the SEC reflecting its status as an entity that is no longer an issuer described in paragraph (i)(1)(i), then those securities may be sold subject to the requirements of Rule 144 after one year has elapsed from the date that the issuer filed “Form 10 information” with the SEC.
The term “Form 10 information” means the information that is required by SEC Form 10, to register under the Exchange Act each class of securities being sold under Rule 144. The Form 10 information is deemed filed when the initial filing is made with the SEC.
In order for Rule 144 to be available, TV Channels Network Inc. must have certain information publicly available. We plan to publish information necessary to permit transfer of shares of our common stock in accordance with Rule 144 of the Securities Act, in as much as we have filed the registration statement with respect to this prospectus.

Strategy and Implementation
Business Model
The Company’s primary business is to develop and market world-class entertainment content, including but not limited to full-length concerts, movies, and television shows. This will be accomplished by aggressive deployment and branding of the Company’s state-of-the-art technologies to bring superior, cost-effective solutions to consumers in need of these services.
Through the Company’s web site, customers will be offered designated services. These services are transactional in nature with add-on options based on the sender’s requirements. Options are priced to increase the overall amount per transaction whereby the overall margin is significantly increased.
By being a web-based business, our business model is based on volume. Through automation of transactions inherent in the technologies employed, the low cost of transactions maintains a high gross margin. Our business can run 24 hours a day, seven days a week with the minimal staff needed to operate the business. Most business activities are automated, which greatly reduces the related overhead and staffing components associated with similar, conventional business formats.
The Company’s corporate development is focused on its core business and is structured to accomplish its initial business objectives over a three-year period. The Company has defined seven business divisions: systems operations and management; information technologies; sales and marketing; customer service; service development; business development; and general administration. Additional revenue streams will be added as new products and services are proven to be viable and are integrated into the network.
The Company also intends to devote resources to developing a consumer market with new specific services designed for the consumer, home-based businesses, and small business owners.
Business Growth Strategy
The key to the Company’s business growth strategy is customer acquisition. The Company’s initial operations are based in the United States. Being an Internet-based business, technical operations can be maintained separately from corporate operations. This will all be aligned with the Company’s basic financial philosophy of controlling costs as sales revenue grows through the expansion of the web site operations.
The Company will focus on the core business over the first three years to establish a significant market share in multiple industry segments. Other products and services may be implemented after proper feasibility, cost analysis and in-depth market and customer research.
Marketing
Marketing Strategy
The marketing strategy is simple and direct.
28
·Consumers will be marketed through the internet, magazines, and other electronic and print media.
·Targeted groups will be marketed by the branding of our name and logo through specific media channels focused on direct marketing campaigns, electronic media, trade shows, industry publications, newspapers, and other industry specific events, as well as traditional distribution channels.
Web Site and Internet Presence
The Company’s Web Sites https://tvchannelsnetwork.com/ will function as a main marketing tool (beyond its obvious function of conducting the business for products and services). These sites will act as a hub for the business and are international in scope. The sites will offer customers ease of use, clear and simple navigation, security, and prompt response to transactions.
The websites will also feature sections for promotions and joint venture and cross-branding marketing campaigns with partners. The web sites will function 24/7 and be a customer service portal. Being that the web site is the business, and customer impression is made through its pages, strict attention to detail, communicative proposition, and graphic design are critical. Additionally, drawing attention to the green benefits of the product will stimulate environmentally concerned consumers.
Smart Phone, Tablet, and Mobile Applications
These applications are critical to the future of the Company. There will be a large user base that will use our services strictly through their mobile devices. These applications are significant in that they fit with the growing trend of mobile users who demand synchronization of services (with their account) with multiple digital devices. This is especially true with business users who no longer work from physical offices and are part of the new virtual business economy.
Even more significant is we will be able to develop users and customers who use multiple communications platforms and networks outside of our web based and internet services.
Social Media and Business Networks
The impact of social networks (Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat, and Google) and business networks (LinkedIn, Salesforce) in today’s communications is huge. The Company’s ability as a communication utility to these networks represents hundreds of millions of users globally. Through the development of applications specifically for these networks, the Company will be able to cross platform its services into consumer and business user awareness.
The marketing on these networks is just one avenue to acquire users, but by combining the Company’s network specific applications to the process, this creates a whole new user dynamic. When you include components of music, media, and video to the delivery options of these users (private, secure, and verified delivery) by a “trusted third party” only goes to strengthen our brand recognition.
Direct Sales
The Company will engage industry specific national sales and marketing groups to promote its products and services. Corporate discounts and promotions will be instituted to target business customers and consumers.
Media Exposure
The Company will also develop national and international marketing campaigns through trade magazines, trade shows, articles, press releases, contracted public relations, a concise advertising campaign to generate brand awareness and impressions, electronic and print vehicles, and other media venues and events.
Competition
Our major competitors include such diverse companies as Amazon Prime, Hulu, DIRECTV Now, Live Nation, Clear Channel, and Netflix, among others. Many of our competitors have much larger customer bases and financial resources than TV Channels Network Inc.

This discussion contains forward-looking statements reflecting our current expectations, whose actual outcomes involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results and the timing of events may differ materially from those stated in or implied by these forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including those discussed in the sections entitled “Risk Factors”, “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and elsewhere in this Offering Circular.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
Disclaimer Regarding Forward Looking Statements
You should read the following discussion in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes and other financial information included in this Form S-1. In addition to historical financial information, the following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include those discussed below and elsewhere in this Form S-1, particularly in the Section titled Risk Factors.
Although the forward-looking statements in this Registration Statement reflect the good faith judgment of our management, such statements can only be based on facts and factors currently known by them. Consequently, and because forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, the actual results and outcomes may differ materially from the results and outcomes discussed in the forward-looking statements. You are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made by us in this report and in our other reports as we attempt to advise interested parties of the risks and factors that may affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations and prospects.
Summary Overview
Management believes, without any additional funding or revenues, the Company does not have sufficient cash to finance its operations for a period of twelve months, which estimate includes the additional expenses the Company will incur upon becoming a reporting company. We will apply any proceeds from future revenues to help cover our expenditures. At this time, management does not anticipate it will be required to seek outside funding to keep its business operational for the next twelve months. Our officers/directors have committed to contribute funds to the Company to keep it operational for the next twelve months. However, there is no guarantee that management will contribute such money when and in the amounts needed to continue operations.
If and when the time comes that we seek funding, we plan to rely on equity sales of our common shares in order to continue to fund our business operations. Issuances of additional shares will result in dilution to our existing shareholders. There is no assurance that we will achieve any of additional sales of our equity securities or other financing to fund our business operations. We currently have no agreements, arrangements or understandings with any person to obtain funds through bank loans, lines of credit or any other sources.

Explanatory Paragraph in Our Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm Report
Our independent accountants have included a paragraph in their most recent report, in our audited financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2019, regarding concerns about our ability to continue as going concern. We have further disclosed in our notes to the financial statements that we are dependent upon our ability to obtain financing and upon future profitable operations from the development of our business opportunities, and that there are no assurances that we will be able to meet our financial obligations in the future.
JOBS Act
On April 5, 2012, the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act, was enacted. Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act of 1933 for complying with new or revised accounting standards. This means that an “emerging growth company” can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would apply to private companies. We are electing to delay such adoption of new or revised accounting standards and, as a result, we may not comply with new or revised accounting standards at the same time as other public reporting companies that are not “emerging growth companies.”
In addition, we intend to rely on other exemptions from reporting and disclosure requirements that are offered by the JOBS Act, including (i) an exemption from the need to provide an auditor’s attestation report on our system of internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, and (ii) an exemption from the need to comply with any PCAOB requirement regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and our financial statements (auditor discussion and analysis). These exemptions will apply for a period of five years following our first sale of common equity securities under an effective registration statement or until we no longer qualify as an “emerging growth company,” whichever is earlier. For further information regarding disclosure and other exemptions available to us under the JOBS Act, please see “Prospectus Summary—The Company—Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company.”
CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Board of Directors
Our board of directors consists of five members, who serve one-year terms without any compensation.
Family Relationships
There are no family relationships among any of our officers or directors.
Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings
To the best of our knowledge, except as described below, none of our directors or executive officers has, during the past ten years:
·been convicted in a criminal proceeding or been subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offences);
33
·had any bankruptcy petition filed by or against the business or property of the person, or of any partnership, corporation or business association of which he was a general partner or executive officer, either at the time of the bankruptcy filing or within two years prior to that time;

Corporate Governance
Governance Structure
We chose to appoint a separate Chairman of the Board who is not our Chief Executive Officer. Our board of directors has made this decision based on their belief that an independent Chairman of the Board can act as a balance to the Chief Executive Officer, who also serves as a non-independent director.
The Board’s Role in Risk Oversight
The board of directors oversees that the assets of our company are properly safeguarded, that the appropriate financial and other controls are maintained, and that our business is conducted wisely and in compliance with applicable laws and regulations and proper governance. Included in these responsibilities is the board’s oversight of the various risks facing our company. In this regard, our board seeks to understand and oversee critical business risks. Our board does not view risk in isolation. Risks are considered in virtually every business decision and as part of our business strategy. Our board recognizes that it is neither possible nor prudent to eliminate all risk. Indeed, purposeful and appropriate risk-taking is essential for our company to be competitive on a global basis and to achieve its objectives.
While the board oversees risk management, company management is charged with managing risk. Management communicates routinely with the board and individual directors on the significant risks identified and how they are being managed. Directors are free to, and indeed often do, communicate directly with senior management.
Our board administers its risk oversight function as a whole by making risk oversight a matter of collective consideration. Much of this work has been delegated to committees, which will meet regularly and report back to the full board. The audit committee oversees risks related to our financial statements, the financial reporting process, accounting and legal matters, the compensation committee evaluates the risks and rewards associated with our compensation philosophy and programs, and the nominating and corporate governance committee evaluates risk associated with management decisions and strategic direction.
Independent Directors
Nasdaq’s rules generally require that a majority of an issuer’s board of directors must consist of independent directors. Our board of directors currently consists of four (4) directors, Mr. Payne, Mr. Johnson, Mr. George, Mr. [
34
], and Mr. [ ] with Mr. George, Mr. [ ], and Mr. [ ] considered independent within the meaning of Nasdaq’s rules. We have entered into independent director agreements with Ms. Stephens and Mr. [ ], pursuant to which she has been appointed to serve as an independent director of the Company effective immediately upon the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. As a result of these board changes, our board of directors will consist of five (5) directors, three (3) of which will be independent within the meaning of Nasdaq’s rules.
Committees of the Board of Directors
Our board has established an audit committee, a compensation committee, and a nominating and corporate governance committee, each with its own charter approved by the board. The committee charters have been filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. Upon completion of this offering, we intend to make each committee’s charter available on our website at https://hempaccoinc.com/.
In addition, our board of directors may, from time to time, designate one or more additional committees, which shall have the duties and powers granted to it by our board of directors.
Audit Committee
Mr. George, Mr. [ ], and Mr. [ ], each of whom satisfies the “independence” requirements of Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act and Nasdaq’s rules, will serve on our audit committee upon their appointment to the board, with Mr. George serving as the chairperson. Our board has determined that Mr. [ ] qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert.” The audit committee oversees our accounting and financial reporting processes and the audits of the financial statements of our company.
The audit committee is responsible for, among other things: (i) retaining and overseeing our independent accountants; (ii) assisting the board in its oversight of the integrity of our financial statements, the qualifications, independence and performance of our independent auditors and our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements; (iii) reviewing and approving the plan and scope of the internal and external audit; (iv) pre-approving any audit and non-audit services provided by our independent auditors; (v) approving the fees to be paid to our independent auditors; (vi) reviewing with our chief executive officer and principal financial officer and independent auditors the adequacy and effectiveness of our internal controls; (vii) reviewing hedging transactions; and (viii) reviewing and assessing annually the audit committee’s performance and the adequacy of its charter.
Compensation Committee
Mr. George, Mr. [ ], and Mr. [ ], each of whom satisfies the “independence” requirements of Rule 10C-1 under the Exchange Act and Nasdaq’s rules, will serve on our compensation committee upon their appointment to the board, with Mr. George serving as the chairperson. The members of the compensation committee are also “outside directors” as defined in Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, and “non-employee directors” within the meaning of Section 16 of the Exchange Act. The compensation committee assists the board in reviewing and approving the compensation structure, including all forms of compensation, relating to our directors and executive officers.
The compensation committee is responsible for, among other things: (i) reviewing and approving the remuneration of our executive officers; (ii) making recommendations to the board regarding the compensation of our independent directors; (iii) making recommendations to the board regarding equity-based and incentive compensation plans, policies and programs; and (iv) reviewing and assessing annually the compensation committee’s performance and the adequacy of its charter.
Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee
Mr. George, Mr. [ ], and Mr. [ ], each of whom satisfies the “independence” requirements of Nasdaq’s rules, will serve on our nominating and corporate governance committee upon their appointment to the board, with Mr. [ ] serving as the chairperson. The nominating and corporate governance committee assists the board of directors in selecting individuals qualified to become our directors and in determining the composition of the board and its committees.
The nominating and corporate governance committee will be responsible for, among other things: (i) identifying and evaluating individuals qualified to become members of the board by reviewing nominees for election
35
to the board submitted by shareholders and recommending to the board director nominees for each annual meeting of shareholders and for election to fill any vacancies on the board; (ii) advising the board with respect to board organization, desired qualifications of board members, the membership, function, operation, structure and composition of committees (including any committee authority to delegate to subcommittees), and self-evaluation and policies; (iii) advising on matters relating to corporate governance and monitoring developments in the law and practice of corporate governance; (iv) overseeing compliance with the our code of ethics; and (v) approving any related party transactions.
The nominating and corporate governance committee’s methods for identifying candidates for election to our board of directors (other than those proposed by our shareholders, as discussed below) will include the solicitation of ideas for possible candidates from a number of sources - members of our board of directors, our executives, individuals personally known to the members of our board of directors, and other research. The nominating and corporate governance committee may also, from time-to-time, retain one or more third-party search firms to identify suitable candidates.
In making director recommendations, the nominating and corporate governance committee may consider some or all of the following factors: (i) the candidate’s judgment, skill, experience with other organizations of comparable purpose, complexity and size, and subject to similar legal restrictions and oversight; (ii) the interplay of the candidate’s experience with the experience of other board members; (iii) the extent to which the candidate would be a desirable addition to the board and any committee thereof; (iv) whether or not the person has any relationships that might impair his or her independence; and (v) the candidate’s ability to contribute to the effective management of our company, taking into account the needs of our company and such factors as the individual’s experience, perspective, skills and knowledge of the industry in which we operate.
A shareholder may nominate one or more persons for election as a director at an annual meeting of shareholders if the shareholder complies with the notice and information provisions contained in our bylaws. Such notice must be in writing to our Company not later than the close of business on the ninetieth (90th) day nor earlier than the close of business on the one-hundred-twentieth (120th) day prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting; provided, however, that in the event that the date of the annual meeting is advanced more than thirty (30) days prior to or delayed by more than thirty (30) days after the anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so delivered not earlier than the close of business on the one hundred twentieth (120th) day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the ninetieth (90th) day prior to such annual meeting or the tenth (10th) day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made or as otherwise required by the Exchange Act. In addition, shareholders furnishing such notice must be a holder of record on both (i) the date of delivering such notice and (ii) the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to vote at such meeting.

On [ ], 2025, we entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Payne. Pursuant to the employment agreement, which has an initial term of three years, Mr. Payne agreed to act as our Chief Executive Officer, devote his full time (approximately 40 hours per week) and attention to the performance of Company duties, and we agreed to pay Mr. Payne an annual base salary of $3,000,000, as well as an annual bonus based on Mr. Payne’s and the Company’s performance, each as determined by our Board of Directors (the “Board”). Mr. Payne is also eligible to receive annual grants of long-term incentive awards and participate in other Company employee benefit plans, if any, and is entitled to take 30 days of paid vacation during each 12-month period. Mr. Payne is to be reimbursed for expenses incurred in connection with his employment, and during the period of Mr. Payne’s employment with the Company. Mr. Payne’s employment can be terminated by the Company at any time or by Mr. Payne upon the provision of 30 days’ notice to the Company. If the Company terminates Mr. Payne’s employment for a reason other than “Cause” (as defined below), Mr. Payne will be entitled to a severance payment in an amount equal to 12 months of Mr. Payne’s base salary in effect as of the termination. If Mr. Payne’s employment is terminated (i) by the Company without Cause following a “Change in Control” (as defined below), or (ii) following a Change in Control, because Mr. Payne has resigned due to a material reduction in his authority, duties or responsibilities, a material reduction in his base salary or benefits, a mandatory relocation more than 50 miles from Mr. Payne’s then-current place of employment, or the Company’s failure to obtain the assumption of the employment agreement upon the Change in Control, then Mr. Payne will be entitled to a severance payment in an amount equal Mr. Payne’s base salary in effect as of the termination (or the highest base salary during the three years prior to the termination) plus the average annual bonus for the prior three years (or if the termination occurs before the annual bonus is paid for the employee’s first year of employment, 110% of the base salary). “Cause” is generally defined as (i) conviction or plea of no contest to the commission of a felony or any misdemeanor that is causing substantial harm to the Company or is a crime of moral turpitude, (ii) repeated intoxication by alcohol or drugs that materially and adversely affects the employee’s performance of his duties, (iii) malfeasance in the conduct of the employee’s duties, including misuse or diversion of Company funds, embezzlement, or misrepresentations or concealments on any written reports submitted by or on behalf of the Company, (iv) violation of any provision of the employment agreement, (v) failure to perform the duties required by the employee’s employment with the Company after the employee shall have been informed, in writing, of the material failure, and given 30 days to remedy the failure, or (vi) failure to follow or comply with the reasonable and lawful written directives or policies of the Company. “Change in Control” is generally defined as an acquisition of 40% or more of the voting securities of the Company, the approval by the Company’s stockholders of a complete liquidation or dissolution, or the consummation of a reorganization, merger, consolidation or sale of substantially all of the assets of the Company, unless following the transaction (i) the beneficial owners of the Company’s voting securities before the transaction continue to beneficially own more than 60% of the voting securities of the Company after the transaction, (ii) no beneficial owner owns more than 40% of the voting securities of the Company after the

Equity Incentive Plans
Long-Term Incentive Plans. The Company does not provide its officers or employees with pension, stock appreciation rights, long-term incentive or other plans, nor does it provide non-qualified deferred compensation to its officers or employees, and therefore, the Summary Compensation Table above does not include columns for nonequity incentive plan compensation and nonqualified deferred compensation earnings since there were none.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT
The following table sets forth certain information with respect to the beneficial ownership of our common stock as of the date of this prospectus for (i) each of our named executive officers and directors; (ii) all of our named executive officers and directors as a group; and (iii) each other shareholder known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our outstanding common stock. The following table assumes that the underwriters have not exercised the over-allotment option.
Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with SEC rules and generally includes voting or investment power with respect to securities. For purposes of this table, a person or group of persons is deemed to have “beneficial ownership” of any shares of common stock that such person or any member of such group has the right to acquire within sixty (60) days of the date of this prospectus. For purposes of computing the percentage of outstanding shares of our common stock held by each person or group of persons named above, any shares that such person or persons has the right to acquire within sixty (60) days of the date of this prospectus are deemed to be outstanding for such person, but not deemed to be outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person.

MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS FOR NON-U.S. HOLDERS OF OUR SECURITIES
The following is a summary of the material U.S. federal income and estate tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of our common stock that is being issued pursuant to this offering. This summary is limited to Non-U.S. Holders (as defined below) that hold our common stock as a capital asset (generally, property held for investment) for U.S. federal income tax purposes. This summary does not discuss all of the aspects of U.S. federal income and estate taxation that may be relevant to a Non-U.S. Holder in light of the Non-U.S. Holder’s particular investment or other circumstances. Accordingly, all prospective Non-U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of our common stock.
This summary is based on provisions of the Code, applicable U.S. Treasury regulations and administrative and judicial interpretations, all as in effect or in existence on the date of this prospectus. Subsequent developments in U.S. federal income or estate tax law, including changes in law or differing interpretations, which may be applied retroactively, could alter the U.S. federal income and estate tax consequences of owning and disposing of our common stock as described in this summary. There can be no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service, or IRS, will not take a contrary position with respect to one or more of the tax consequences described herein and we have not obtained, nor do we intend to obtain, a ruling from the IRS with respect to the U.S. federal income or estate tax consequences of the ownership or disposition of our common stock.
As used in this summary, the term “Non-U.S. Holder” means a beneficial owner of our common stock that is not, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:
·an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States;
·a corporation (or other entity treated as a corporation) created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof, or the District of Columbia;
·an entity or arrangement treated as a partnership;
·an estate whose income is includible in gross income for U.S. federal income tax purposes regardless of its source; or
·a trust, if (1) a U.S. court is able to exercise primary supervision over the trust’s administration and one or more “United States persons” (within the meaning of the Code) has the authority to control all of the trust’s substantial decisions, or (2) the trust has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations to be treated as a United States person.
If an entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds our common stock, the tax treatment of a partner in such a partnership generally will depend upon the status of the partner, the activities of the partnership and certain determinations made at the partner level. Partnerships, and partners in partnerships, that hold our common stock should consult their own tax advisors as to the particular U.S. federal income and estate tax consequences of owning and disposing of our common stock that are applicable to them.
This summary does not consider any specific facts or circumstances that may apply to a Non-U.S. Holder and does not address any special tax rules that may apply to particular Non-U.S. Holders, such as:
40
·a Non-U.S. Holder that is a financial institution, insurance company, tax-exempt organization, pension plan, broker, dealer or trader in securities, dealer in currencies, U.S. expatriate, controlled foreign corporation or passive foreign investment company;
·a Non-U.S. Holder holding our common stock as part of a conversion, constructive sale, wash sale or other integrated transaction or a hedge, straddle or synthetic security;
·a Non-U.S. Holder that holds or receives our common stock pursuant to the exercise of any employee stock option or otherwise as compensation; or
·a Non-U.S. Holder that at any time owns, directly, indirectly or constructively, 5% or more of our outstanding common stock.
In addition, this summary does not address any U.S. state or local, or non-U.S. or other tax consequences, or any U.S. federal income or estate tax consequences for beneficial owners of a Non-U.S. Holder, including shareholders of a controlled foreign corporation or passive foreign investment company that holds our common stock.
Each Non-U.S. Holder should consult its own tax advisor regarding the U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. income and other tax consequences of owning and disposing of our common stock.
Distributions on Our Common Stock
We do not currently expect to pay any cash dividends on our common stock. If we make distributions of cash or property (other than certain pro rata distributions of our common stock) with respect to our common stock, any such distributions generally will constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax rules. If a distribution exceeds our current and accumulated earnings and profits, the excess will be treated as a nontaxable return of capital to the extent of the Non-U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in our common stock and will reduce (but not below zero) such Non-U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in our common stock. Any remaining excess will be treated as gain from a disposition of our common stock subject to the tax treatment described below in “Dispositions of Our Common Stock.”
Distributions on our common stock that are treated as dividends and that are effectively connected with a Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States will be taxed on a net income basis at the regular graduated rates and in the manner applicable to United States persons. An exception may apply if the Non-U.S. Holder is eligible for, and properly claims, the benefit of an applicable income tax treaty and the dividends are not attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base maintained by the Non-U.S. Holder in the United States. In such case, the Non-U.S. Holder may be eligible for a lower rate under an applicable income tax treaty between the United States and its jurisdiction of tax residence. Dividends that are effectively connected with a Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States will not be subject to the U.S. withholding tax if the Non-U.S. Holder provides to the applicable withholding agent a properly executed IRS Form W-8ECI (or other applicable form) in accordance with the applicable certification and disclosure requirements. A Non-U.S. Holder treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes may also be subject to a “branch profits tax” at a 30% rate (unless the Non-U.S. Holder is eligible for a lower rate under an applicable income tax treaty) on the Non-U.S. Holder’s earnings and profits (attributable to dividends on our common stock or otherwise) that are effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States. The amount of taxable earnings and profits is generally reduced by amounts reinvested in the operations of the U.S. trade or business and increased by any decline in its equity.
The certifications described above must be provided to the applicable withholding agent prior to the payment of dividends and must be updated periodically. A Non-U.S. Holder may obtain a refund or credit of any excess amounts withheld by timely filing an appropriate claim for a refund with the IRS. Non-U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding their eligibility for benefits under any relevant income tax treaty and the manner of claiming such benefits.
The foregoing discussion is subject to the discussions below under “Backup Withholding and Information Reporting” and “FATCA Withholding.”
Dispositions of Our Common Stock
A Non-U.S. Holder generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax (including U.S. withholding tax) on gain recognized on any sale or other disposition of our common stock unless:
41
·the gain is effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, is attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base maintained by the Non-U.S. Holder in the United States); in such case, the gain would be subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net income basis at the regular graduated rates and in the manner applicable to United States persons (unless an applicable income tax treaty provides otherwise) and, if the Non-U.S. Holder is treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the “branch profits tax” described above may also apply;
·the Non-U.S. Holder is an individual who is present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of the disposition and meets certain other requirements; in such case, except as otherwise provided by an applicable income tax treaty, the gain, which may be offset by certain U.S. source capital losses, generally will be subject to a flat 30% U.S. federal income tax, even if the Non-U.S. Holder is not treated as a resident of the United States under the Code; or
·we are or have been a “United States real property holding corporation” for U.S. federal income tax purposes at any time during the shorter of (i) the five-year period ending on the date of disposition and (ii) the period that the Non-U.S. Holder held our common stock.
Generally, a corporation is a “United States real property holding corporation” if the fair market value of its “United States real property interests” equals or exceeds 50% of the sum of the fair market value of its worldwide real property interests plus its other assets used or held for use in a trade or business. We believe that we are not currently, and we do not anticipate becoming in the future, a United States real property holding corporation. However, because the determination of whether we are a United States real property holding corporation is made from time to time and depends on the relative fair market values of our assets, there can be no assurance in this regard. If we were a United States real property holding corporation, the tax relating to disposition of stock in a United States real property holding corporation generally will not apply to a Non-U.S. Holder whose holdings, direct, indirect and constructive, constituted 5% or less of our common stock at all times during the applicable period, provided that our common stock are “regularly traded on an established securities market” (as provided in applicable U.S. Treasury regulations) at any time during the calendar year in which the disposition occurs. However, no assurance can be provided that our common stock will be regularly traded on an established securities market for purposes of the rules described above. Non-U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding any possible adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences to them if we are, or were to become, a United States real property holding corporation.
The foregoing discussion is subject to the discussions below under “Backup Withholding and Information Reporting” and “FATCA Withholding.”
Federal Estate Tax
Any shares of our common stock that are owned (or treated as owned) by an individual who is not a U.S. citizen or resident of the United States (as specially defined for U.S. federal estate tax purposes) at the time of death will be included in that individual’s gross estate for U.S. federal estate tax purposes, unless an applicable estate tax or other treaty provides otherwise and, therefore, may be subject to U.S. federal estate tax.
Backup Withholding and Information Reporting
Backup withholding (currently at a rate of 24%) may apply to dividends paid by U.S. corporations in some circumstances, but will not apply to payments of dividends on our common stock to a Non-U.S. Holder if the Non-U.S. Holder provides to the applicable withholding agent a properly executed IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or other applicable form) certifying under penalties of perjury that the Non-U.S. Holder is not a United States person or is otherwise entitled to an exemption. However, the applicable withholding agent generally will be required to report to the IRS (and to such Non-U.S. Holder) payments of dividends on our common stock and the amount of U.S. federal income tax, if any, withheld from those payments. In accordance with applicable treaties or agreements, the IRS may provide copies of such information returns to the tax authorities in the country in which the Non-U.S. Holder resides.
The gross proceeds from sales or other dispositions of our common stock may be subject, in certain circumstances discussed below, to U.S. backup withholding and information reporting. If a Non-U.S. Holder sells or otherwise disposes of any of our common stock outside the United States through a non-U.S. office of a non-U.S. broker and the disposition proceeds are paid to the Non-U.S. Holder outside the United States, the U.S. backup withholding and information reporting requirements generally will not apply to that payment. However, U.S. information reporting, but not U.S. backup withholding, will apply to a payment of disposition proceeds, even if that payment is made outside the United States, if a Non-U.S. Holder sells our common stock through a non-U.S. office
42
of a broker that is a United States person or has certain enumerated connections with the United States, unless the broker has documentary evidence in its files that the Non-U.S. Holder is not a United States person and certain other conditions are met or the Non-U.S. Holder otherwise qualifies for an exemption.
If a Non-U.S. Holder receives payments of the proceeds of a disposition of our common stock to or through a U.S. office of a broker, the payment will be subject to both U.S. backup withholding and information reporting unless the Non-U.S. Holder provides to the broker a properly executed IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or other applicable form) certifying under penalties of perjury that the Non-U.S. Holder is not a United States person, or the Non-U.S. Holder otherwise qualifies for an exemption.
Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be credited against the Non-U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability (which may result in the Non-U.S. Holder being entitled to a refund), provided that the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.
FATCA Withholding
The Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act and related Treasury guidance (commonly referred to as FATCA) impose U.S. federal withholding tax at a rate of 30% on payments to certain foreign entities of (i) U.S.-source dividends (including dividends paid on our common stock) and (ii) the gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of property that produces U.S.-source dividends (including sales or other dispositions of our common stock). This withholding tax applies to a foreign entity, whether acting as a beneficial owner or an intermediary, unless such foreign entity complies with (i) certain information reporting requirements regarding its U.S. account holders and its U.S. owners and (ii) certain withholding obligations regarding certain payments to its account holders and certain other persons. Accordingly, the entity through which a Non-U.S. Holder holds its common stock will affect the determination of whether such withholding is required. While withholding under FATCA would have also applied to payments of gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of our common stock on or after January 1, 2019, U.S. Treasury regulations proposed in December 2018 eliminate such withholding on payments of gross proceeds entirely. Taxpayers generally may rely on these proposed U.S. Treasury regulations until final U.S. Treasury regulations are issued. Non-U.S. Holders are encouraged to consult their tax advisors regarding FATCA.
CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
Our officers and directors own a super majority of the voting rights in the Company, as outlined in the ownership table above.
The Company’s Director has contributed office space for our use for all periods presented. There is no charge to us for the space, and the director will not seek compensation for the use of this space.
Our officers and directors can be considered promoters of TV Channels Network Inc. in consideration of their participation and managing of the business of the company since its incorporation.
UNDERWRITING
In connection with this offering, we expect to enter an underwriting agreement with Craft Capital Management, LLC (which we refer to as the Representative), as representative of the underwriters named in this prospectus, with respect to the common stock in this offering. Under the terms and subject to the conditions contained in the underwriting agreement, the Representative will agree to purchase from us on a firm commitment basis the respective number of shares of commons stock at the public price less the underwriting discounts and commissions set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, and each of the underwriters has severally agreed to purchase, and we have agreed to sell to the underwriters, at the public offering price per shares less the underwriting discounts and commissions set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, the number of shares of common stock listed next to its name in the following table.
Underwriters | | Number of Shares |
Craft Capital Management, LLC | | 1,250,000 |
Total | | 1,250,000 |
43
The shares of common stock sold by the underwriters to the public will initially be offered at the initial public offering price set forth on the cover page of this prospectus. Any shares of common stock sold by the underwriters to securities dealers may be sold at a discount from the initial public offering price not to exceed $[ ] per share. If all of the shares are not sold at the initial offering price, the Representative may change the offering price and the other selling terms. The Representative has advised us that the underwriters do not intend to make sales to discretionary accounts. The underwriting agreement will provide that the obligations of the underwriters to pay for and accept delivery of the shares of common stock are subject to the passing upon certain legal matters by counsel and certain conditions such as confirmation of the accuracy of representations and warranties by us about our financial condition and operations and other matters. The obligation of the underwriters to purchase the shares of common stock is conditioned upon our receiving approval to list the shares of common stock on NASDAQ.
If the underwriters sell more shares of common stock than the total number set forth in the table above, we have granted to the Representative an option, exercisable one or more times in whole or in part, not later than 45 days after the date of this prospectus, to purchase up to 187,500 additional shares of common stock at the public offering price less the underwriting discounts and commissions set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, constituting 15% of the total number of shares of common stock to be offered in this offering (excluding shares subject to this option). The Representative may exercise this option solely for the purpose of covering over-allotments in connection with this offering. This offering is being conducted on a firm commitment basis. Any shares of common stock issued or sold under the option will be issued and sold on the same terms and conditions as the other shares of common stock that are the subject of this offering.
Discounts and Commissions; Expenses
The underwriting discounts and commissions are a cash fee equal to 7.5% of gross proceeds from the sale of securities in this offering. We have been advised by the representative that the underwriters propose to offer the common stock to the public at the public offering price set forth on the cover of this prospectus and to dealers at a price that represents a concession not in excess of $[ ] per share under the public offering price. After the offering, the representative may change the public offering price and other selling terms.
The following table summarizes the public offering price and the underwriting discounts and commissions payable to the underwriters by us in connection with this offering (assuming both the exercise in full and non-exercise of the over-allotment option that we have granted to the Representative):
| | Per Share | | Total Without Over-Allotment Option | | Total With Full Over-Allotment Option |
Public offering price | | $ | | | $ | | | $ | |
Underwriting discounts and commissions (1) | | $ | | | $ | | | $ | |
Non-accountable expense allowance (1%) | | $ | | | $ | | | $ | |
Proceeds, before expenses, to us | | $ | | | $ | | | $ | |
(1)Does not include (i) the warrant to purchase a number of shares of common stock equal to 7% of the number of shares sold in the offering, or (ii) amounts representing reimbursement of certain out-of-pocket expenses, each as described below.
Representative’s Warrants
We have agreed to issue to the Representative (or its permitted assignees) warrants to purchase up to a total number of shares of common stock equal to 6% of the total number of shares of common stock sold in this offering at an exercise price equal to 125% of the public offering price of the common stock sold in this offering. The Representative’s warrants will be exercisable at any time, and from time to time, in whole or in part, commencing from the closing of the offering and expiring five (5) years from the effectiveness of the offering, and will have a cashless exercise provision. The Representative’s warrants are not exercisable or convertible for more than five years from the commencement of sales of the public offering. The Representative’s warrants also provide for customary anti-dilution provisions and immediate “piggyback” registration rights with respect to the registration of the shares underlying the warrants for a period of seven years from commencement of sales of this offering. We have registered the Representative’s warrants and the shares underlying the Representative’s warrants in this offering.
44
The Representative’s warrants and the underlying shares are deemed to be compensation by FINRA, and therefore will be subject to a 180-day lock-up period pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110(e)(1). In accordance with FINRA Rule 5110(e)(1), neither the Representative’s warrants nor any of our common stock issued upon exercise of the Representative’s warrants may be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated, or be the subject of any hedging, short sale, derivative, put or call transaction that would result in the effective economic disposition of such securities by any person, for a period of 180 days immediately following commencement of sale of this offering subject to certain exceptions permitted by FINRA Rule 5110(e)(2).
We have agreed to pay the Representative a non-accountable expense allowance equal to 1% of the gross proceeds received at the closing of this offering.
We have agreed to reimburse the Representative for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Representative in connection with this offering, regardless of whether the offering is consummated, up to $200,000. The Representative out-of-pocket expenses include but are not limited to: (i) road show and travel expenses, (ii) reasonable fees of Representative’s legal counsel, (iii) the cost of background check on our officers, directors and major shareholders and due diligence expenses. As of the date of this prospectus, we have paid the Representative refundable advances of $[ ], which shall be applied against its actual out-of-pocket accountable expenses. Such advance payments will be returned to us to the extent any portion of the advance is not actually incurred, in accordance with FINRA Rule 5110(g)(4)(A).
In connection with the offering, the underwriters may purchase and sell shares in the open market. Purchases and sales in the open market may include short sales, purchases to cover short positions, which may include purchases pursuant to the over-allotment option, and stabilizing purchases.
·Short sales involve secondary market sales by an underwriter of a greater number of shares than they are required to purchase in the offering.
·“Covered” short sales are sales of shares in an amount up to the number of shares represented by the over-allotment option.
·“Naked” short sales are sales of shares in an amount in excess of the number of shares represented by the over-allotment option.
·Covering transactions involve purchases of shares either pursuant to the over-allotment option or in the open market after the distribution has been completed in order to cover short positions.
·To close a naked short position, an underwriter must purchase shares in the open market after the distribution has been completed. A naked short position is more likely to be created if an underwriter is concerned that there may be downward pressure on the price of the shares in the open market after pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase in the offering.
·To close a covered short position, an underwriter must purchase shares in the open market after the distribution has been completed or must exercise the over-allotment option. In determining the source of shares to close the covered short position, the underwriters will consider, among other things, the price of shares available for purchase in the open market as compared to the price at which they may purchase shares through the over-allotment option.
·Stabilizing transactions involve bids to purchase shares so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified maximum.
Purchases to cover short positions and stabilizing purchases, as well as other purchases by an underwriter for its own account, may have the effect of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the common stock. They may also cause the price of the common stock to be higher than the price that would otherwise exist in the open market in the absence of these transactions. The underwriters may conduct these transactions in the over-the-counter market or otherwise. If the underwriters commence any of these transactions, they may discontinue them at any time.
45
Determination of Offering Price
In determining the initial public offering price, we and the Representative have considered a number of factors, including:
·the information set forth in this prospectus and otherwise available to the Representative;
·our prospects and the history and prospects for the industry in which we compete;
·an assessment of our management;
·our prospects for future revenue and earnings;
·the general condition of the securities markets at the time of this offering;
·the recent prices of, and demand for, shares sold by us prior to this offering;
·the recent market prices of, and demand for, publicly traded securities of generally comparable companies; and
·other factors deemed relevant by the Representative and us.
The estimated initial public offering price set forth on the cover page of this preliminary prospectus is subject to change as a result of market conditions and other factors. Neither we nor the Representative can assure investors that an active trading market will develop for our common stock, or that the shares will trade in the public market at or above the initial public offering price.
Indemnification
We have agreed to indemnify the Representative and the other underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. If we are unable to provide this indemnification, we will contribute to payments that the Representative and the other underwriters may be required to make for these liabilities.
Right of First Refusal
The Representative has the right of first refusal for eighteen (18) months following the consummation of this offering or the termination or expiration of the engagement with the Representative to act as financial advisor or to act as joint financial advisor on at least equal economic terms on any public or private financing (debt or equity), merger, business combination, recapitalization or sale of some or all of our equity or our assets, whether in conjunction with another broker-dealer or on the Company’s own volition (collectively, “Future Services”). In the event that we engage the Representative to provide such Future Services, the Representative will be compensated consistent with the engagement agreement with the Representative, unless we mutually agree otherwise. To the extent we are approached by a third party to lead any public or private financing (debt or equity), merger, business combination, recapitalization or sale of some or all of our equity or assets, the Representative will be notified of the transaction and be granted the right to participate in such transaction under any syndicate formed by such third party.
No Sales of Similar Securities
We have agreed not to offer, issue, sell, contract to sell, encumber, grant any option for the sale of or otherwise dispose of any shares of our common stock or other securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of common stock at a price per share that is less than the price per shares of common stock in this offering, or modify the terms of any existing securities, whether in conjunction with another broker-dealer or on the Company’s own volition for a period of twelve months after the closing of this offering without the prior written consent of the Representative.
Lock-Up Agreements
Our officers, directors and Darryl Payne, our majority shareholder (which owns approximately 79% of our common stock as of January 30, 2025), and our shareholders holding over 5% of our common stock have each agreed not to offer, sell, agree to sell, directly or indirectly, or otherwise dispose of any shares of our common stock for a period of twelve months following the closing of this offering (the “Lock-Up Period”), except that the shareholders are permitted to transfer shares so long as (a) the transferee executes a lock-up agreement for the balance of the Lock-Up Period, (b) the transfer is not a disposition for value, (c) the transfer is not required to be reported in any public report or filing with the SEC, and (d) the shareholder does not voluntarily effect any public filing or report regarding such transfer: (i) as a gift, (ii) to any immediate family member, (iii) if the shareholder is a business entity that transfers
46
the shares to another entity that is an affiliate of the shareholder or if the shareholder is a business entity that transfers the shares to its limited partners, members or stockholders, (iv) if the shareholder is a trust that transfers the shares to a trust beneficiary, or (v) by will or other testamentary document or intestate succession, or by operation of law pursuant to a domestic order or in connection with a divorce settlement.
Notwithstanding the above, the underwriters have agreed to waive the lock-up requirement for shares of common stock being sold by the selling stockholders named in the Resale Prospectus. Further, the underwriters of this offering may engage in stabilization activities as described above. The Representative may in its sole discretion and at any time without notice release some or all of the shares subject to lock-up agreements prior to the expiration of the Lock-Up Period. When determining whether or not to release shares from the lock-up agreements, the Representative will consider, among other factors, the security holder’s reasons for requesting the release, the number of shares for which the release is being requested and market conditions at the time.
Electronic Offer, Sale and Distribution of Common Stock
A prospectus in electronic format may be made available on the websites maintained by the Representative. In addition, shares of common stock may be sold by the Representative to securities dealers who resell our common stock to online brokerage account holders. Other than the prospectus in electronic format, the information on the Representative’s website and any information contained in any other website maintained by the Representative is not part of the prospectus or the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, has not been approved and/or endorsed by us or the Representative in its capacity as Representative and should not be relied upon by investors.
Selling Restrictions
No action has been taken in any jurisdiction (except in the United States) that would permit a public offering of our common stock, or the possession, circulation or distribution of this prospectus or any other material relating to us or our common stock, where action for that purpose is required. Accordingly, our common stock may not be offered or sold, directly or indirectly, and neither this prospectus nor any other offering material or advertisements in connection with our common stock may be distributed or published, in or from any country or jurisdiction except in compliance with any applicable rules and regulations of any such country or jurisdiction.
Offer Restrictions Outside the United States
Other than in the United States, no action has been taken by us or the underwriters that would permit a public offering of the securities offered by this prospectus in any jurisdiction where action for that purpose is required.

INDEX TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the members of TV Channels Network Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying Balance Sheet of TV Channels Network Inc (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2023, the related Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss), Statement of Cash Flow and Statements of Shareholders’ Equity, for fiscal year in the period ended December 31, 2023, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the fiscal year in the period ended December 31, 2023, in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles of United States of America
(“US GAAP”).
The financials statements of the Company for the fiscal year ended December 31,2022 were audited by another auditor whose report dated May 3, 2023, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements. The report stated is on the financials statement prior to the adjustments as discussed in Note 2.10 Restatement of previously issued Financial Statements. We audited the adjustments as described in Note 2.10 Restatement of previously issued Financial Statements that were applied to restate the 2022 financial statements. In our opinion such adjustments have been properly applied.
Matters related to Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, if the Company is unable to raise funds to alleviate liquidity needs, it may be required to reduce the scope of its planned development. The Company has a limited operating history, and its continued growth is dependent upon the start of selling its services; hence generating revenues and obtaining additional financing to fund future obligations and pay liabilities arising from normal business operations. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 3 to the Financial Statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Responsibilities of the Management for the Financial Statements
These financial Statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. In preparing the financial Statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year after the date that the financial statements are available to be issued. 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 applicable rules and regulations of the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit 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 we have engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.
As part of our audit, 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 audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
F-1
Critical Audit Matters
Critical audit matters are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to those charged with governance and that:
(1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and
(2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments.
We determined that there are no critical audit matters.

2.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
2.1.Basis of Presentation
The Company has earned no revenues from limited principal operations. Accordingly, the Company’s activities have been accounted for as those of a “Development Stage Enterprise” as set forth in Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 7 (“SFAS 7”). Among the disclosures required by SFAS 7 are that the Company’s financial statements be identified as those of a development stage company and that the statements of operations, shareholders equity (deficit), and cash flows disclose activity since the date of the Company’s inception. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
2.2.Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with the U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
F-7
Management evaluates the estimates and assumptions based on historical experience and believes those estimates and assumptions are reasonable based on the information available to them.
2.3.Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2022 presentation to make them consistent with 2023.
2.4.Cash
The Company considers all short-term highly liquid investments with an original maturity date of purchase of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
2.5.Software
The Company is developing a website that manages the library of the movies and the customer subscriptions, any amount paid toward the development of the website is capitalized. During 2023, the software is tested for impairment and is carried at cost less impairment loss.
2.6.Fair value of financial instruments
We value our financial assets and liabilities on a recurring basis using the fair value hierarchy established in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.
ASC 820 describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value, as follows:
Level 1 input, which include quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2 inputs, which include observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and
Level 3 inputs, which include unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the underlying asset or liability. Level 3 assets and liabilities include those whose fair value measurements are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar valuation techniques, as well as significant management judgment or estimation.
2.7.Income Taxes
The Company’s income tax benefit differs from the expected income tax benefit by applying the U.S. Federal statutory rate of 21% to net income (loss) as follows:
Deferred Tax has not been recognized by the company since the company has not yet started operations and hence realizability is assessed as NIL.
2.8.Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Standards
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or other standard setting bodies that may have an impact on the Company’s accounting and reporting. The Company believes that such recently issued accounting pronouncements and other authoritative guidance for which the effective date is in the future either will not have an impact on its accounting or reporting or that such impact will not be material to its financial position, results of operations, and cash flows when implemented.
2.9.General and Administrative Expenses
The following table sets forth total operating expenses for the years ended December 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022:

Total General and Administrative Expenses | | $ | 7,253 | | | $ | 1,547 |
2.10.Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements
During the course of the Independent Audit of the Company’s fiscal year December 31, 2023 along with already audited comparative figures of December 31, 2022, the financial statements, the Company’s Auditor identified errors that were determined to be material in the financial year ended December 31, 2022 financial statements which were required to be restated in the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022.
As a result, the Company has restated the balance as of December 31, 2022 and the corresponding opening reserves as at 1st January 2023, in accordance with ASC 250, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections (the “restated financial statements”).
Description of Restatement
a. Operating Expenses
Adjustments were required for operating expenses (business registration charges) for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 and the corresponding retained earnings as at January 1, 2023. The change addressed the identified under-reporting of expenses incurred but omitted to be accounted. The error understated the previously reported operating expenses by $1,025 for the year ended December 31, 2022.

3.GOING CONCERN
The Company currently has limited operations. The financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates, among other things, the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.
As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $7,753 as of December 31, 2023 and $1,547 as of December 31, 2022. The Company has a limited operating history, and its continued growth is dependent upon the start of selling its services; hence generating revenues and obtaining additional financing to fund future obligations and pay liabilities arising from normal business operations. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to raise additional capital, implement its business plan, and
F-9
generate significant revenues. There are no assurances that the Company will be successful in its efforts to generate significant revenues, maintain sufficient cash balance or report profitable operations or to continue as a going concern. The Company plans on raising capital through the sale of equity or debt instruments to implement its business plan. However, there is no assurance these plans will be realized and that any additional financings will be available to the Company on satisfactory terms and conditions, if any.
The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability or classification of asset-carrying amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
4.RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Related party loans and due to CEO were $3,574 and $1,025 as of December 31, 2023 and 2022. The related party amounts are funds borrowed to fund the Company’s daily operations. The loans are non-interest bearing with no maturity date, due on demand, and no covenants. The loans arose from a related party and member of management.
5.COMMON STOCK
The Company is authorized to issue 800,000,000 of common shares with no par value, and any amount paid is considered as Additional Paid In Capital. As of December 31, 2022, the company had issued 32,028,000 shares. During the current year 6,493,700 shares are fresh issued and as of December 31, 2023, the company had issued 38,521,700 shares.
6.COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
There are no commitments and no contingent liabilities outstanding as at 31st December 2023 and 31st December 2022.
7.SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The company has evaluated subsequent events for recognition and disclosure through April 29, 2024 which is the date the financial statements were available to be issued. No other matters were identified affecting the accompanying financial statements and related disclosures.

2.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
2.1.Basis of Presentation
This Interim unaudited comparative financial statements should be read along with the Audited Financial Statements for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022. The Company has earned no revenues from limited principal operations. Accordingly, the Company’s activities have been accounted for as those of a “Development Stage Enterprise” as set forth in Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 7 (“SFAS 7”). Among the disclosures required by SFAS 7 are that the Company’s financial statements be identified as those of a development stage company and that the statements of operations, shareholders equity (deficit), and cash flows disclose activity since the date of the Company’s inception. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
2.2.Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with the U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
F-16
Management evaluates the estimates and assumptions based on historical experience and believes those estimates and assumptions are reasonable based on the information available to them.
2.3.Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2022 presentation to make them consistent with 2023.
2.4.Cash
The Company considers all short-term highly liquid investments with an original maturity date of purchase of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
2.5.Software
The Company is developing a website that manages the library of the movies and the customer subscriptions, any amount paid toward the development of the website is capitalized. During 2023, the software is tested for impairment and is carried at cost less impairment loss.
2.6.Fair value of financial instruments
We value our financial assets and liabilities on a recurring basis using the fair value hierarchy established in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.
ASC 820 describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value, as follows:
Level 1 input, which include quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2 inputs, which include observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and
Level 3 inputs, which include unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the underlying asset or liability. Level 3 assets and liabilities include those whose fair value measurements are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar valuation techniques, as well as significant management judgment or estimation.
2.7.Income Taxes
The Company’s income tax benefit differs from the expected income tax benefit by applying the U.S. Federal statutory rate of 21% to net income (loss) as follows:
Deferred Tax has not been recognized by the company since the company has not yet started operations and hence realizability is assessed as NIL.
2.8.Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Standards
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or other standard setting bodies that may have an impact on the Company’s accounting and reporting. The Company believes that such recently issued accounting pronouncements and other authoritative guidance for which the effective date is in the future either will not have an impact on its accounting or reporting or that such impact will not be material to its financial position, results of operations, and cash flows when implemented.
2.9.General and Administrative Expenses
The following table sets forth total operating expenses for the Nine months ended September 30, 2024, and, 2023:
F-17
| | Nine months ended Sept. 30, |
| | 2024 | | | 2023 |
Auditing Expense | | $ | - | | | $ | - |

Legal Fees | | | - | | | | - |
Business Registration Fees | | | 922 | | | | 1,025 |

General and Administrative Fees | | | 140 | | | | 11 |
Total General and Administrative Expenses | | $ | 1,090 | | | $ | 1,036 |
3.GOING CONCERN
The Company currently has limited operations. The financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates, among other things, the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.
As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $10,390 as of September 30, 2023 and $8,200 as of December 31, 2023. The Company has a limited operating history, and its continued growth is dependent upon the start of selling its services; hence generating revenues and obtaining additional financing to fund future obligations and pay liabilities arising from normal business operations. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company’s ability to raise additional capital, implement its business plan, and generate significant revenues. There are no assurances that the Company will be successful in its efforts to generate significant revenues, maintain sufficient cash balance or report profitable operations or to continue as a going concern. The Company plans on raising capital through the sale of equity or debt instruments to implement its business plan. However, there is no assurance these plans will be realized and that any additional financings will be available to the Company on satisfactory terms and conditions, if any.
The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability or classification of asset-carrying amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
4.RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Related party loans and due to CEO were $9,534 and $8,574 as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The related party amounts are funds borrowed to fund the Company’s daily operations. The loans are non-interest bearing with no maturity date, due on demand, and no covenants. The loans arose from a related party and member of management.
5.COMMON STOCK
The Company is authorized to issue 800,000,000 of common shares with no par value, and any amount paid is considered as Additional Paid In Capital. As of September 30, 2023, the company had issued 38,521,700 shares.
6.COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
There are no commitments and no contingent liabilities outstanding as at September 30, 2024 December 1, 2023.
7.SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The company has evaluated subsequent events for recognition and disclosure through November 14, 2024 which is the date the financial statements were available to be issued. No other matters were identified affecting the accompanying financial statements and related disclosures.

Shares of Common Stock
This prospectus relates to 2,550,550 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of TV Channels Network Inc. that may be sold from time to time by the selling stockholders named in this prospectus.
We will not receive any proceeds from the sales of outstanding common stock by the selling stockholders.
Currently, no public market exists for our common stock. We have applied to list our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market, or Nasdaq, under the symbol “TVCN”. There can be no assurance that we will be able to meet Nasdaq’s initial listing requirements or that we will otherwise be approved for listing.
We are majority-owned by Darryl Payne, and are therefore a “controlled company” under Nasdaq corporate governance rules and are eligible for certain exemptions from these rules, though we do not intend to rely on any such exemptions. See “Risk Factors - We will be a ‘controlled company’ within the meaning of the listing rules of Nasdaq and, as a result, can rely on exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements that provide protection to shareholders of other companies” on page 25 for more information.
The selling stockholders may offer and sell the common stock being offered by this prospectus from time to time in public or private transactions, or both. These sales will occur at a fixed price of $[ ] per share until our common stock is quoted on the OTCQB or OTCQX marketplace, or listed on a national securities exchange. Thereafter, these sales will occur at fixed prices, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to prevailing market prices, or at negotiated prices. The selling stockholders may sell shares to or through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, who may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling stockholders, the purchasers of the shares, or both. Any participating broker-dealers and any selling stockholders who are affiliates of broker-dealers may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and any commissions or discounts given to any such broker-dealer or affiliates of a broker-dealer may be regarded as underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The selling stockholders have informed us that they do not have any agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute their common stock. See “Plan of Distribution” for a more complete description of the ways in which the shares may be sold.
Investing in our securities is highly speculative and involves a significant degree of risk. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 25 of this prospectus for a discussion of information that should be considered before making a decision to purchase our securities.
Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.
The date of this prospectus is January 30, 2025.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS
The following table sets forth the shares beneficially owned, as of January 30, 2025, by the selling stockholders identified below (the “Selling Stockholders”) prior to the offering contemplated by this prospectus, the number of shares each Selling Stockholder is offering by this prospectus, and the number of shares which each would own beneficially if all such offered shares are sold. The Selling Stockholders can offer all, some or none of their shares of common stock, and thus we have no way of determining the number of shares of common stock each Selling Stockholder will hold after this offering. Therefore, the fourth and fifth columns assume that each Selling Stockholder will sell all shares of common stock covered by this prospectus.
Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission rules. Under these rules, a person is deemed to be a beneficial owner of a security if that person has or shares voting power, which includes the power to vote or direct the voting of the security, or investment power, which includes the power to vote or direct the voting of the security. The person is also deemed to be a beneficial owner of any security of which that person has a right to acquire beneficial ownership within 60 days. Under the Securities and Exchange Commission rules, more than one person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of the same securities, and a person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of securities as to which he or she may not have any pecuniary beneficial interest. Except as noted below, each person has sole voting and investment power.
None of the Selling Stockholders is a registered broker-dealer or an affiliate of a registered broker-dealer. The percentages below are calculated based on 37,880,000 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding as of January 30, 2025.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
Each Selling Stockholder and any of their pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their securities covered hereby on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the securities are traded or in private transactions. These sales will occur at a fixed price of $6.00 per share until our common stock is quoted on the OTCQB or OTCQX marketplace, or listed on a national securities exchange. Thereafter, these sales will occur at fixed prices, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to prevailing market prices, or at negotiated prices. A Selling Stockholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling securities:
·ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
·block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the securities as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
·purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;
·an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;
·privately negotiated transactions;
·settlement of short sales;
·in transactions through broker-dealers that agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of such securities at a stipulated price per security;
·through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;
·a combination of any such methods of sale; or
·any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.
The selling stockholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.
Broker-dealers engaged by the Selling Stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the Selling Stockholders, or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser, in amounts to be negotiated. The Selling Stockholders do not expect these commissions and discounts to exceed what is customary in the types of transactions involved.
The Selling Stockholders may from time to time pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell shares of our common stock from time to time under this prospectus, or under an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act of 1933 amending the list of selling security holders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling security holders under this prospectus.
Upon our being notified in writing by a Selling Stockholder that any material arrangement has been entered into with a broker-dealer for the sale of our common stock through a block trade, special offering, exchange distribution or secondary distribution or a purchase by a broker or dealer, a supplement to this prospectus will be filed, if required, pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, disclosing (i) the name of each such Selling Stockholder and of the participating broker-dealer(s), (ii) the number of shares involved, (iii) the price at which such the shares of our common stock were sold, (iv)the commissions paid or discounts or concessions allowed to such broker-dealer(s), where applicable, (v) that such broker-dealer(s) did not conduct any investigation to verify the information set out or incorporated by reference in
Alt-10
this prospectus, and (vi) other facts material to the transaction. In addition, upon our being notified in writing by a Selling Stockholder that a donee or pledgee intends to sell more than 500 shares of our common stock, a supplement to this prospectus will be filed if then required in accordance with applicable securities law.
The Selling Stockholders also may transfer the shares of our common stock in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.
The Selling Stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Discounts, concessions, commissions and similar selling expenses, if any, that can be attributed to the sale of Securities will be paid by the Selling Stockholder and/or the purchasers. Each Selling Stockholder has represented and warranted to us that it acquired the securities subject to this prospectus in the ordinary course of such Selling Stockholder’s business and, at the time of its purchase of such securities such Selling Stockholder had no agreements or understandings, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute any such securities.
We have advised each Selling Stockholder that it may not use shares registered on this prospectus to cover short sales of our common stock made prior to the date on which this prospectus shall have been declared effective by the Commission. If a Selling Stockholder uses this prospectus for any sale of our common stock, it will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. The Selling Stockholders will be responsible to comply with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act and Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations thereunder promulgated, including, without limitation, Regulation M, as applicable to such Selling Stockholders in connection with resales of their respective shares under this prospectus.
We are required to pay all fees and expenses incident to the registration of the shares, but we will not receive any proceeds from the sale of our common stock. We have agreed to indemnify the Selling Stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
LEGAL MATTERS
The validity of the common stock covered by this prospectus will be passed upon by The Law Offices of Thomas C. Cook.

INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
Our officers and directors are indemnified as provided by the Nevada Revised Statutes and our bylaws. Under the Nevada Revised Statutes, director immunity from liability to a company or its shareholders for monetary liabilities applies automatically unless it is specifically limited by a company’s Articles of Incorporation. Our Articles of Incorporation do not specifically limit our directors’ immunity. Excepted from that immunity are: (a) a willful failure to deal fairly with the company or its stockholders in connection with a matter in which the director has a material conflict of interest; (b) a violation of criminal law, unless the director had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was lawful or no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful; (c) a transaction from which the director derived an improper personal profit; and (d) willful misconduct.
Our Articles and bylaws provide that we will indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent not prohibited by Nevada law; provided, however, that we may modify the extent of such indemnification by individual contracts with our directors and officers; and, provided, further, that we shall not be required to indemnify any director or officer in connection with any proceeding, or part thereof, initiated by such person unless such indemnification: (a) is expressly required to be made by law, (b) the proceeding was authorized by our board of directors, (c) is provided by us, in our sole discretion, pursuant to the powers vested in us under Nevada law or (d) is required to be made pursuant to the bylaws.
Our Articles and bylaws also provide that we may indemnify a director or former director of subsidiary corporation and we may indemnify our officers, employees or agents, or the officers, employees or agents of a subsidiary corporation and the heirs and personal representatives of any such person, against all expenses incurred by the person relating to a judgment, criminal charge, administrative action or other proceeding to which he or she is a party by reason of being or having been one of our directors, officers or employees.
We do not carry or maintain any insurance coverage for the benefit of your officers and directors at this time. Our directors may cause us to purchase and maintain insurance for the benefit of a person who is or was serving as our director, officer, employee or agent, or as a director, officer, employee or agent or our subsidiaries, and his or her heirs or personal representatives against a liability incurred by him as a director, officer, employee or agent.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such
II-1
liabilities (other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by our director, officer or controlling person in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

UNDERTAKINGS
We hereby undertake to:
(1) File, during any period in which it offers or sells securities, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement to:
(i) To include any prospectus required by section 10(a) (3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) (230.424(b) of this chapter) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement.
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(4) If the registrant is subject to Rule 430C, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
(6) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities:
The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 (230.424 of this chapter);
(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

(7) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
