Item 5.06 Change in Shell Company Status

Reference is made to the disclosure set forth under Item 2.01 of this current report on Form 8-K, which disclosure is incorporated herein by reference. As a result of the business combination between Beyond Commerce and Service 800 that was completed on March 4, 2019 described under Item 2.01, we are no longer a shell corporation as that term is defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act and Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act.

Item 1. Business

planned software to enable clients to access data and gain insight into their business, through that data, leading to improved internal decision making.

We plan to offer the proposed software through traditional on-premise solutions, Software as a Service (“SaaS”), as a cloud based solution, or a combination of on-premise, SaaS or cloud based solutions.  We plan to work with our clients and their needs as to which delivery method they prefer.  We believe giving clients a choice and flexibility will help us to obtain long-term client value.

Corporate History and Background

Beyond Commerce was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on, January 12, 2006 under the name “Reel Estate Services, Inc.” for the purposes of operating as a media hub for high traffic web properties, utilizing social networking and e-commerce.

On December 28, 2007, the Company entered into an agreement and plan of reorganization with its former shareholder and former sole officer and director, BOOMj.com, Inc. (“BOOMj”), and Time Lending Sub, Inc., a subsidiary of the Company (“Sub”) pursuant to which Sub merged with and into BOOMj.  As a result of the merger, the business of BOOMj became the business of the Company. BOOMj operated as a multi-faceted niche portal and social networking site targeting Baby Boomers and the Generation Jones demographics. Subsequently on January 14, 2008, the Company changed its name to “BOOMj, Inc.”

BOOMj’s operations migrated into an e-commerce platform known as i-SUPPLY, an online storefront that offered easy to use, fully customizable e-commerce services, and revenue solutions for any third-party website large or small, and hosted local ads, providing extensive reach for our proprietary advertising partner network platform. On February 23, 2009, the Company changed its name to “Beyond Commerce, Inc.” and its ticker symbol to “BYOC” in order to better reflect its business strategy.

During the third quarter of 2009 the Company formed another subsidiary, KaChing, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“KaChing”).  KaChing operated an e-commerce platform which provided a complete turn-key e-commerce solution to third-party store owners. KaChing allowed individual online store owners the ability to create, manage and earn money from product sales generated from their individual webstores. On April 22, 2010, KaChing merged out of the Company and into Duke Mining Company, Inc. to become a new public company.  

As a result of the merger transaction, KaChing ceased to be a wholly-owned subsidiary, and BYOC’s interest in the outstanding capital stock of KaChing was reduced to 20.8%.  On April 17, 2013 Beyond Commerce’s ownership in KaChing was transferred back to Benjamin Mayer of the firm Mayer & Associates. During 2015, the Company wrote off its entire ownership stake in KaChing and used it as a tax loss carry-forward.

On October 9, 2009, LocalAdLink Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“LocalAdLink”) sold its LocalAdLink Software (the “Software”) and all of their related assets, including the rights to the name LocalAdLink, the LocalAdLink trademark, the website domain “www.LocalAdLink.com” and a local search directory and advertising network that brings local advertising to geo-targeted consumers.  The Company continued to sell advertising services as it had prior to the inception of LocalAdLink, Inc., on a different scale and with a greater emphasis on business-to-business sales.  As of December 31, 2017, the Company decided to close and remove this subsidiary from its financials going forward.

During the second quarter 2010, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement with all of the shareholders of Adjuice, Inc. (“Adjuice”), an online media and marketing company. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company issued 5,100,000 shares of its common stock in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding stock of Adjuice.  The purchase of this transaction was to enhance the Company’s presence in the Ad Networking business. The Adjuice network distributed leads to over 350 retail clients along seven major sales verticals, all offering top payouts. Adjuice owned and managed over 120 sites, all optimized for brand recognition and conversion performance.  Adjuice had a solid infrastructure for selling its own products, targeting advertisers, publishers and their related downstream partners with Adjuice’s tailored lead generation programs. As of December 31, 2017, the Company decided to close and remove this subsidiary from its financials going forward.

On March 31, 2011, the Company acquired AIM Connection, Inc., a leading direct sales affiliate, SEO provider, social network and website generator. AIM Connection combines Internet marketing techniques and automation software, and allows all aspects of the marketing process to be controlled and managed by the client. As of December 31, 2017, the Company decided to close and remove this subsidiary from its financials going forward.

On July 28, 2011, a judgement with civil case number: 2:08-cv-00496-KJD-LRL was entered in favor of George Pursglove, the Company’s current CEO, from his counter suit against BOOMj.com, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Beyond Commerce, Inc. The judgement was in the amount of $20,775 for damages as to the claim for failure to pay wages, $3,000,000 for damages as to the conversion claim and $3,000,000 for punitive damages for a total of $6,020,775 (the “July Judgment”). The July Judgment accrues interest at a rate of 5.286% per annum. As of September 30, 2018, the total amount of principal and interest was $8,041,945.

In 2017, the Company reevaluated the commercial viability of its previous operations of all of the aforementioned subsidiaries and determined that many of these businesses were no longer viable. The Company discontinued the operations of the aforementioned subsidiaries as of December 31, 2017.

On April 27, 2017, the Company held a Special Meeting of Stockholders where the stockholders approved and ratified, among other things: (i) the reinstatement of Beyond Commerce with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada and the appointment of Mr. Pursglove as sole director; and (ii) the exchange of a portion of the July Judgment against Beyond Commerce into shares of common stock of the Company

On May 1, 2017, the Company issued Mr. Pursglove 1,556,632, shares of common stock reducing the July Judgment by $12,453.  On the same date, the Company authorized the designation of its “blank check” preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, as Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”).

Effective July 27, 2017, the Company filed a certificate of designation with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada, pursuant to which it designated the Series A Preferred Stock. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock is convertible into one share of common stock.  In addition, each share of Series A Preferred Stock entitles its holder to (i) cumulative, non-participating dividends in preference and priority to any declaration or payment of a dividend on any of the Company’s common stock, at a rate of 12% per annum, and (ii) three times (3x) voting preference over common stock.  On the same date, the Company issued 250,000,000 shares of

5

its Series A Preferred Stock to Mr. Pursglove, further reducing the award under the July Judgment owed to Mr. Pursglove by $250,000.  

Effective August 10, 2018, the Company filed an amendment to its articles of incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada, pursuant to which it increased its total authorized capital stock from 1,300,000,000 shares to 1,350,000,000, consisting of (i) 1,100,000,000 shares of common stock and (ii) 250,000,000 shares of preferred stock.

Effective February 11, 2019, the Company filed an amendment to its articles of incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada, pursuant to which it increased its total authorized capital stock from 1,350,000,000 shares to 1,900,000,000, consisting of (i) 1,650,000,000 shares of common stock and (ii) 250,000,000 shares of preferred stock.

Recent Developments

Funding Agreements

Maxim Group, LLC

On February 13, 2018, we entered into a financial advisory agreement with Maxim Group, LLC, a leading full-service investment banking, securities and wealth management firm (“Maxim”), pursuant to which Maxim will provide certain advisory services, including strategic corporate planning, financial advisory and investment banking services. On May 31, 2018, we entered into a separate financial advisory agreement with Maxim, which effectively expanded the arrangement to include Maxim’s provision of mergers and acquisitions services, to include the sourcing of and negotiation with potential targets. Pursuant to the agreement, Maxim will assist in BYOC’s global expansion plan, and accelerate product growth and innovation. Additionally, Maxim, will among other things, assist the Company in its efforts to become a fully reporting company under Securities and Exchange Commission guidelines and also advise the Company with respect to its efforts to list on a national securities exchange.

Iliad Research and Trading, LP.

On March 28, 2018, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with Iliad Research and Trading, L.P. (“Iliad”) pursuant to which we secured a seventeen (17) month non-dilutive bridge loan in the principal amount of $1,000,000 (of which $100,000 would be retained by Iliad as an original issue discount), consisting of six tranches of funding, with the initial tranche consisting of a promissory note in the principal amount of $100,000 and each subsequent note equal to $150,000.  Upon execution of the agreement, we received from Iliad an initial payment of $50,000.  The notes each had a maturity of seventeen (17) months from the date of issuance, an interest rate of 10% per annum, and were convertible into shares of common stock at a price of $0.15 per share.  The agreement also provided that Iliad would be issued seven (7) warrants to purchase shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share.  In addition, if at the Company’s option it decided to repay the loan with shares of its common stock, the conversion price adjusted to 65% of the lowest trading price on the primary trading market on which the Company’s common stock is then-listed for the twenty (20) trading days immediately prior to conversion.  The notes could be prepaid, but carry a penalty in association with the remittance amount, as there is an accretion component to satisfy the outstanding balance with cash.  On August 31, 2018, we paid $197,918 to Iliad to settle the outstanding balance, consisting of a pre-payment penalty, principal and interest.  As of the date of this current report on Form 8-K statement, the Company is currently negotiating a settlement with Iliad with respect to the warrants.  

On June 14, 2018, the Company issued a 15% senior convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $50,000.  This note has a maturity of eight (8) months and is convertible into shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company at a price of $0.10 per share.  As inducement for the note, the Company issued 825,000 shares of restricted common stock, par value $0.001 per share, to the noteholder.

Discover Growth Fund, LLC

On August 7, 2018, we entered into a securities purchase agreement (“SPA”) with Discover Growth Fund, LLC (“Discover”), pursuant to which we issued a senior secured redeemable convertible debenture in the principal amount of $2,717,391.30 (of which $217,391.30 was retained by Discover as an original issue discount) (the “Debenture”), in exchange for $500,000 cash consideration and a promissory note issued by BYOC in the amount of $2,000,000 (the “Note”).  Pursuant to the terms of the SPA, we issued to Discover a warrant to purchase up to 16,666,667 shares of our common stock, exercisable beginning on the six (6) month anniversary from the date of issuance for a period of three (3) years at an exercise price of $0.15 per share (the “Warrant”).  The Debenture is subject to interest at a rate of 8.0% per annum and be converted into shares of the Company’s common stock at a price equal to the lower (i) $0.15 per share of common stock, and (ii) if there has never been a trigger event (as defined in the Debenture), (A) the average of the 5 lowest individual trades of the shares of common stock, less $0.01 per share, or following any such trigger event, (B) 60% of the foregoing.  Further, pursuant to the SPA we agreed to issue 2,500,000 shares of our common stock to Discover at close of the transaction, and that Discover would fund $2,000,000 in cash upon the effectiveness of our S-1/A. registration statement.  The first tranche of financing from the Discover transaction closed on August 16, 2018, at which time we issued 2,500,000 shares of common stock to Discover. The second tranche of financing was completed on February 12, 2019 at which time we issued 34,838,350 common shares.

Business Overview and Strategy

We plan to focus on the acquisition of "big data" companies in the Business-to-Business (“B2B”) Internet Marketing Technology and Services (“IMT&S”) market and the Information Management (“IM”) market.

Market Dynamics IMT&S Segment

Market Opportunity : the B2B IMT&S industry is a highly fragmented $345.5 billion global market, with $195 billion derived from the United States, according to the December 2017 Magna Advertising Forecasts Winter Update.

§ INTEGRATED SEARCH : Data from IBISWorld Search Engines – US Market Research Report, November 2017, indicates that the revenue for this sector was approximately $60 billion last year following five years of 8.8% average growth.  

§ MARKET RESEARCH : this global industry segment generated $44.5 billion in revenues last year, as reported from data derived from Statista Business Services – Market Research Industry -- Statistics.  

§ BUSINESS BIG DATA ANALYTICS : Industry wide revenues were $122 billion in 2015 with projected revenues reaching $187 Billion by 2019 according to InformationWeek’s Big Data.  

§ INTERNET PUBLISHING AND BROADCASTING : $119 billion in revenues were generated last year following annual growth of 14.8% over the previous five years, as shown by data provided by IBISWorld Search Engines – US Market Research Report, November 2017.  

Our business objective is to develop, acquire, and deploy disruptive strategic software technology and market-changing business models through selling our own products and the acquisitions of existing companies. We plan to offer a cohesive global digital product and services platform to provide our clients with a single point of contact for all their IMT&S and IM initiatives. Our proposed all-inclusive platform will result in substantial organic growth potential generated through cross-selling and upselling opportunities and future expansion possibilities for BYOC.

To further our business objectives, on December 14, 2017, we entered into an agreement with Service 800 Inc., a Minnesota corporation (“Service 800”) and the sole shareholder of Service 800 (the “Shareholder”), pursuant to which we have agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Service 800 from the Shareholder (the “Transaction”).  Service 800 operates as a premium provider of Customer Feedback Management Platforms to their Fortune 500 and 1000 clients on a global basis. Service 800 provides survey authoring, response rates, feedback types and data analysis on their proprietary, cloud based, automated and centralized platform. Service 800 currently has 40 full time employees that provide services to 130 companies and 300 service organizations. Service 800’s current operations and strategic business plan is to further develop its marketing and Customer Experience platform to use within the framework of its current Fortune 500 and 1000 clients.

No assurance can be given that we will be successful in realizing the anticipated strategic benefits of the Transaction. The acquisition of Service 800 closed on March 4, 2019.

Products and Services Overview

Our goal is to help companies and organizations derive value from their information. To do this, we intend to offer services and solutions such as Content Services, Business Process Management, Customer Experience Management, Discovery, Business Network, and Analytics.

With our planned products and services, we plan to deliver our customers the following:

7

Content Services

We plan to facilitate content services with an integrated set of technologies to allow customers to manage information throughout the content services lifecycle and improve business productivity, all while mitigating the risk and controlling the costs of growing volumes of data. We intend to make our content services solutions available via on-premise, SaaS and increasingly cloud-based solutions, which will include next-generation SaaS platform for content services. The proposed SaaS platform will be comprised of a set of consumer-grade, end-user productivity applications that enable users to access, share, create and collaborate on content, across any device.

Business Process Management (BPM)

We believe our planned BPM solution will provide software capabilities for analyzing, automating, monitoring and optimizing structured business processes that typically fall outside the scope of existing enterprise systems. We believe our envisioned BPM solutions will help empower employees, customers and partners.

Our proposed BPM solutions will include 260 Process Suit and 260 Process Solutions.

· 260 Process Suite will put businesses in direct control of its processes and fosters alignment between business and Information Technology (IT), resulting in tangible benefits for both. Our Process Suite will offer a single platform that can be accessed simply through a web browser and is built from the ground up to be truly multi-tenant and support all of the deployment models required for on-premise, private or public clouds.  

· 260 Process Suite Solutions will be packaged applications built on the Process Suite and address specific business problems. For some of these solutions, we plan to include Contract Management, Cloud Brokerage Services, Digital Media Supply Chain, and Enterprise App Store, to name a few.  

Customer Feedback Management (CFM)

We believe our planned CFM solutions will generate improved time-to-market by giving customers, employees, and channel partners personalized and engaging experiences.

We intend our proposed CFM solutions to will include:

· Web Content Management will provide software for authoring, maintaining, and administering websites designed to offer a “visitor experience” that integrates content from internal and external sources.  

· Digital Asset Management will provide a set of content management services for browsing, searching, viewing, assembling, and delivering rich media content such as images, audio and video.  

· Customer Communications Management Software will make it possible for organizations to process and deliver highly personalized documents in paper or electronic format rather than a “one message fits all” approach.  

· Social Software will help companies “socialize” their web presence by adding blogs, wikis, ratings and reviews, and build communities for public websites and employee intranets.  

· Portal which will enable organizations to aggregate, integrate and personalize corporate information and applications and provide a central, contextualized, and personalized view of information for executives, departments, partners, and customers.  

Customer Experience CX

We believe our planned CX solutions will help customers organize and visualize all relevant content to enable business users to quickly locate information in order to make better-informed decisions based on timely, contextualized information.

Our proposed CX solutions shall include:

· Search addresses information security and productivity requirements by securely indexing all information for fast retrieval and real-time monitoring.  

· Smart Navigation improves the end-user experience of websites by enabling intuitive visual exploration of site content through contextual navigation.  

· Auto-Classification improves the quality of information governance through intelligent metadata extraction and accurate classification of information.  

· CX Silos makes it possible for organizations to deal with the issue of so-called “information silos” resulting from, for instance, numerous disconnected information sources across the enterprise. Using a framework of adapters, an information access platform allows organizations to consolidate, decommission, archive and migrate content from virtually any system or information repository.  

Business Network (BN)

Our proposed BN solution will be a set of offerings that facilitate efficient, secure, and compliant exchange of information inside and outside the enterprise.

Our proposed BN solutions will include:

· Business-to-Business (B2B) Integration services that help optimize the reliability, reach, and cost efficiency of an enterprise's electronic supply chain while reducing costs, infrastructure and overhead.  

· Secure Messaging helps to share and synchronize files across an organization, across teams and with business partners, while leveraging the latest smartphones and tablets to provide information on the go without sacrificing information governance or security.  

BYOC Analytics

We believe our proposed BYOC Analytics solutions in which we plan to develop will help organizations gain insight from their structured and unstructured data, make predictions, visualize and report on business processes, customer interactions and a myriad of other sources of information. This analytical data can then be used to refine business processes or content utilization, make predictions, identify trends, improve customer service or be applied in a multitude of different scenarios.

8

Our planned BYOC Analytics solutions include:

· Embedded Reporting and Visualization which will be used to embed reports and visualizations of data in an array of applications, including the BYOC EIM Suites and many third-party data sources.  

· Big Data Analysis is the analysis of large sets of information from databases, files, Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Customer Relationship Management (CRM) systems and a variety of other sources. Our planned modeling and predictive algorithms may be applied to this data using BYOC solutions to extract meaningful insight or predictive models to solve customer problems or help with operational insight.  

Our Business Strategy

Growth

We plan to grow our business and strengthen our future service offerings in the IMT&S market through product development, strategic acquisitions and integration and organic growth. We are a value-oriented and disciplined acquirer. Currently we are in the process of identifying potential acquisitions of companies in the IMT&S markets.  As of the date of this current report Form 8-K, we have executed a definitive purchase agreement (“PA”) with PATHUX, LLC and a non-binding letter of intent (“LOI”) with a company, we are currently conducting due diligence.  While acquiring companies that operate complementary businesses will be one of our leading growth drivers, our growth strategy also includes organic growth through product and software innovation. We plan to create sustained value by expanding distribution and adding value through up-selling and cross-selling across our planned multiple proprietary marketing platforms to our future customers. We believe our ability to leverage our global presence will be helpful to our ability to grow organically.

We plan on acquiring operating companies that will help us provide a well-rounded product line to our future customers.  We believe that such acquisitions will be our primary driver to growth, similar to high-performing conglomerates.  By focusing on these acquisitions and the integration of niche businesses, we believe this will well position us to incorporating them into our existing platforms and technology services, ultimately allowing us to offer future customers a full suite of software solutions and services.

We have developed a philosophy, which we refer to as “The Beyond Commerce Business System”, that is designed to create value by leveraging a clear set of operational mandates for integrating newly acquired companies and assets. We see our ability to successfully integrate acquired companies and assets into our business as a strength and pursuing strategic acquisitions is an important aspect to our growth strategy. However, no assurance can be given that we will be successful in consummating such acquisitions or that we will be successful in realizing anticipated strategic benefits of such acquisitions.

Potential Product Revenues

Our forecasted business will consist of four revenue streams: (1) software license; (2) cloud services and subscriptions; (3) customer support; and (4) professional services.

License

Our forecasted license revenues will consist of fees earned from the licensing of software products to our future customers. We believe that license revenues will be impacted by the strength of general economic and industry conditions, the competitive strength of our future software offerings, and our potential acquisitions. A potential customer’s decision to license our software products often involves a comprehensive implementation process across the customer’s network or networks and the licensing and implementation of our planned software products may entail a significant commitment of resources by prospective customers.

Cloud Services and Subscriptions

Our forecasted cloud based services and subscription revenues will consist of (i) software as a service offerings, (ii) managed service arrangements and (iii) subscription revenues relating to on-premise offerings. We believe these offerings will allow our potential customers to transmit a variety of content between various mediums and to securely manage enterprise information without the commitment of investing in related hardware infrastructure.

In addition, we plan to offer B2B integration solutions, such as messaging services, and managed services. Messaging services will (i) allow for the automated and reliable exchange of electronic transaction information, such as purchase orders, invoices, shipment notices and other business documents, among businesses worldwide, and (ii) provide an end-to-end fully outsourced B2B integration solution to our customers, including program implementation, operational management, and customer support. We believe these planned services will enable customers to effectively manage the flow of electronic transaction information with their trading partners and reduce the complexity of disparate standards and communication protocols.

Customer Support

We plan on integrating our proposed customer support offering to customers together with the purchase of a license of our future enterprise information management software products. This customer support will typically renew on an annual basis; customer support revenues will be a sizeable portion of total revenue, as they are with our many of our competitors. Through our planned customer support programs, customers will receive access to software upgrades, a knowledge base, discussions, product information, and an online mechanism to post and review trouble issues. Additionally, our planned customer support teams will handle questions on the use, configuration, and functionality of our products and can help identify software issues, develop solutions, and document enhancement requests for consideration in future product releases.

Professional Service and Other

We plan to provide consulting and learning services to customers and generally these services will relate to the implementation, training and integration of our licensed product offerings into the customer's systems.

9

We believe our planned consulting services will help customers build solutions that will enable them to leverage their investments in our technology and in existing enterprise systems. Implementation of these services will range from simple modifications to meet specific departmental needs to enterprise applications that will integrate with multiple existing systems.

Our learning services advisors will analyze our customers' education and training needs, focusing on key learning outcomes and timelines, with a view to creating an appropriate education plan for the employees of our customers who work with our products. Education plans will be designed to be flexible and can be applied to any phase of implementation: pilot, roll-out, upgrade or refresher. Our learning services will employ a blended approach by combining mentoring, instructor-led courses, webinars, eLearning and potentially, focused workshops.

Planned Acquisitions

We believe our future competitive position in the marketplace will be dependent upon our ability to maintain a complex and evolving array of technologies, products, services and capabilities. Considering the continually evolving marketplace in which we intend to operate, we plan to regularly evaluate acquisition opportunities within the IMT&S market and at any time may be in various stages of discussions with respect to such opportunities.

Pursuing strategic acquisitions is an important aspect to our current and future growth strategy, which we expect to continue, in order to strengthen our service offerings in the IMT&S market. As discussed elsewhere in this Form 8-K, on March 4, 2019 we closed the business combination entered into between Beyond Commerce and Service 800. On February 11, 2019 BYOC and PathUX entered into a definitive purchase agreement.

We believe our planned acquisitions support our long-term strategy for growth. We believe such acquisitions will strengthen our competitive position, help us obtain a customer base and provide greater scale to accelerate innovation, and begin revenues. We plan to continue to identify strategic acquisitions of complementary companies, products, services and technologies which we believe will augment our existing business.

Research and Development

The industry in which we plan to operate and compete is subject to rapid technological developments, evolving industry standards, changes in customer requirements and competitive new products and features. As a result, we believe our success, in part, will depend on our ability to build and enhance our products in a timely and efficient manner and to develop and introduce new products that meet client needs while reducing total cost of ownership. To achieve these objectives, we plan to make and expect to make research and development investments through internal and third-party development activities, third-party licensing agreements and potentially through technology acquisitions.

As of December 31, 2018, and 2017 we have not engaged in research and development activities.  

Marketing and Sales

Customers

With the successful closing of the Service 800 business combination on March 4, 2019, we have acquired an existing client base of 130 companies and 300 service organizations.

Market and Competition

The IMT&S industry is highly fragmented and competitive. Key competitive factors include contractual terms and competitive pricing, quality of service, reputation, technical and industry expertise, scope of services, innovative service and product offerings. Key success factors include the ability to access the latest available and most efficient technology and techniques; maintain a highly skilled workforce; maintain effective cost controls, and good project management skills.

The market for our proposed products and related services is highly competitive, subject to rapid technological change and shifting customer needs and economic pressures. In the Customer Feedback Management Platform (CX) market, our competitors may have single (or narrowly-tailored) solutions or they may have a range of information management solutions. Given the markets in which we plan to operate and the products and services we plan to offer, we believe our top competitors to be Clarabridge, Confirmit, InMoment, MartizCX, Medallia, NICE, Qualtrics, Satmetrix Systems, SMG and Verint Systems.

Many of BYOC’s competitors in the IMT&S industry are small and of those, many are non-employing firms. Companies in the industry offer a broad range of product and services tailored to different markets. This mobility has allowed smaller firms to dominate the industry composition, as they tend to provide services to a specific niche market and/or within a specific geographic region. Despite their prevalence, smaller firms contribute only a small percentage of industry revenue. The bulk of revenue is generated by several high-profile global corporations, such as IBM, Hewlett-Packard, EMC Corporation, SAS, and Accenture. Larger companies maintain an advantage over smaller firms in that they can service national and international clients, with more resources and capabilities, and as such are able to command a higher premium.

We believe that certain competitive factors will affect the market for our future software products and related services, which may include: (i) vendor and product reputation; (ii) product quality, performance and price; (iii) the availability of software products on multiple platforms; (iv) product scalability; (v) product integration with other enterprise applications; (vi) software functionality and features; (vii) software ease of use; (viii) the quality of professional services, customer support services and training; and (ix) the ability to address specific customer business problems. We believe the relative importance of each of these factors depends upon the concerns and needs of each specific customer.

Intellectual Property Rights

Our future success and ability to compete will depend on our ability to develop and maintain our intellectual property and proprietary technology and to operate without infringing on the proprietary rights of others. Software products are generally licensed to customers on a non-exclusive basis for internal use in a customer's organization. We plan to also grant rights in intellectual property that we plan on developing or acquiring to third-parties to allow them to market certain of our future products on a non-exclusive or limited-scope exclusive basis for an application of such product or to a specific geographic region.

10

We plan to rely on a combination of copyright, patent, trademark and trade secret laws, non-disclosure agreements and other contractual provisions to establish and maintain our proprietary rights. The duration of patents is determined by the laws of the country of issuance and for the U.S. is typically 17 years from the date of issuance of the patent or 20 years from the date of filing of the patent application resulting in the patent. While we believe our intellectual property will be an asset, and our ability to maintain and protect our intellectual property rights is important to our success, we do not anticipate that our business will not be materially dependent on any patent, trademark, license, or other intellectual property right.

Employees

With the successful closing of the business combination with Service 800 on March 4, 2019 the Company has gained 40 full time employees and approximately 320 independent service representatives. The key members of the management team for BYOC will consists of George Pursglove as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Jean Mork Bredenson President, Allen Bredeson, VP Marketing and Client Relations, Derick White, VP Sales, and Jefferey Schwendinger, VP Operations.  

Item 1A. RISK FACTORS.

In addition to the normal risks associated with a new business venture, there can be no assurance that our business plan will be successfully executed. Our ability to execute our business plan will depend on our ability to obtain additional financing and achieve a profitable level of operations. There can be no assurance that sufficient financing will be available, or, if available, that it will be on terms that are satisfactory to us. Even if we are able to obtain additional financing, it may contain undue restrictions on our operations, in the case of debt financing, or cause substantial dilution for our stockholders, in the case of equity financing.  In this regard, we are restricted by the number of shares available for issuance in an equity financing, and we will likely need to increase out authorized capital in order to take advantage of such financing.  However, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining shareholder approval to increase our authorized capital. Further, we cannot give any assurance that we will generate substantial revenues or that our business operations will prove to be profitable. To the extent that we are unsuccessful, we may need to curtail or cease our operations and implement a plan to extend payables or reduce overhead until sufficient additional capital is raised to support further operations. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on management’s plans, which include further implementation of its business plan and continuing to raise funds through debt and/or equity raises.

We must raise additional capital to fund our operations.

We do not currently have sufficient capital to fund our current or anticipated operations. We may be unable to obtain additional capital when required. Future business development activities, as well as our administrative requirements (such as salaries, insurance expenses and general overhead expenses, as well as legal compliance costs and accounting expenses) will require a substantial amount of additional capital and cash flow.

We may need to acquire additional funds in order to develop our business. We may seek to raise such capital through public or private equity financings, partnerships, collaborations, joint ventures, disposition of assets, debt financings or restructurings, bank borrowings or other sources of financing. However, our ability to do so is subject to a number of risks, uncertainties, constraints and consequences, including, but not limited to, the following:

12

For these and other reasons, additional funding may not be available on favorable terms or at all. If we fail to obtain additional capital when needed, we may be required to delay, scale back or eliminate some or all of our research and development programs, reduce our selling, general and administrative expenses, be unable to attract and retain highly qualified personnel, refrain from making our contractually required payments when due (including debt payments) and/or be forced to cease operations, liquidate our assets and possibly seek bankruptcy protection. Any of these consequences could harm our business, financial condition, operating results and prospects.

Any additional capital raised through the sale of equity may dilute the ownership percentage of our stockholders. Raising any such capital could also result in a decrease in the fair market value of our equity securities because our assets would be owned by a larger pool of outstanding equity. The terms of securities we issue in future capital transactions may be more favorable to our new investors, and may include preferences, superior voting rights and the issuance of other derivative securities, and issuances of incentive awards under equity employee incentive plans, which may have a further dilutive effect.

Our ability to obtain financing may be impaired by factors such as the capital markets (both generally and in our industry in particular), our limited operating history, national unemployment rates and the departure of key employees. Further, economic downturns will likely decrease our revenues and may increase our requirements for capital. If the amount of capital we are able to raise from financing activities, together with our revenues from operations, if any, is not sufficient to satisfy our capital needs (even to the extent that we reduce our operations), we may be required to cease our operations, divest our assets at unattractive prices or obtain financing on unattractive terms.

Our acquisitions are an important aspect of our growth strategy, but they may not achieve expectations, which could affect our cash flow and profitability.

We plan to acquire companies and operations that complement our planned business operations. These transactions involve numerous business risks, including finding suitable transaction partners, the diversion of management’s attention from other business concerns, extending our product or service offerings into areas in which we have limited experience, entering into new geographic markets, the potential loss of key employees or business relationships and the integration of acquired businesses, any of which could adversely impact our business, financial condition or results of operations.  We may face a number of risks with respect to potential acquisitions, including but not limited to:

13

We may not succeed in addressing these or other risks or any other problems encountered relating to the integration of any acquired business, the inability to integrate successfully the business, technologies, products, personnel or operations of any acquired business, or any significant delay in achieving integration, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.

We may be adversely affected by risks associated with potential acquisitions, such as Service 800, including execution risks, failure to realize anticipated strategic benefits, and failure to overcome integration risks, which could adversely affect our growth and profitability.

We plan to grow our business both organically and inorganically, including through the acquisition of Service 800, Inc. (“Service 800”) and development of software and solutions. In the event that we do pursue further acquisitions, we may have difficulty executing on such acquisitions and may not realize the anticipated benefits of any transaction we complete. Any of the foregoing matters could materially and adversely affect us. On March 4, 2019 Beyond Commerce closed the business combination between the Company and Service 800.

The integration of Service 800 will likely be a time-consuming process. The integration process will likely require substantial management time and attention, which may divert attention and resources from other important areas, including developing our planned services and products existing business. In addition, we may not be able to fully realize the anticipated strategic benefits of the acquisition, which includes a complementary business. The failure to successfully integrate the combined operations, including retention of key employees, could impact our ability to realize the full benefits of our acquisition of Service 800. If we are not able to achieve the anticipated strategic benefits of the acquisition, it could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations, and could adversely affect the market price of our common stock if the integration or the anticipated financial and strategic benefits of the acquisition are not realized as rapidly as, or to the extent anticipated by us. Failure to achieve the anticipated benefits could result in increased costs and decreases in future revenue and/or net income following the acquisition.

Inadequate protection of our intellectual property could impair our competitive advantage.

Our success and ability to compete depend in part upon our development of proprietary technology and intellectual properties. We will eventually rely primarily on a combination of copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret laws, nondisclosure agreements, and technical measures to protect our future proprietary technology and intellectual properties. We will also limit access to, and distribution of, our proprietary technology and trade secrets through security technologies.

There can be no assurance that our efforts to protect our intellectual property rights will adequately deter misappropriation or independent third-party development of our intellectual property or prevent an unauthorized third party from obtaining or using information that we regard as proprietary.

There can be no assurance that our competitors will not independently develop proprietary technologies similar to ours. Litigation may be necessary in the future to protect our trade secrets or other intellectual property rights or to determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others. Such litigation could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Third parties could claim that we are infringing their patents or other intellectual property rights; we must protect our intellectual property; and others could infringe on or misappropriate our rights.

Open source software includes a broad range of software applications and operating environments produced by companies, development organizations and individual software developers and is typically licensed for use, distribution and modification at a nominal cost or often, free of charge. To the extent that the open source software models expand, and non-commercial companies and software developers create and contribute competitive analytical software to the open source community, we may be forced to adjust our pricing, maintenance and distribution strategies and models, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial position and results of operation. In addition, if one of our developers embedded open source software into one or more of our products without our knowledge or authorization or a third party has incorporated open source software into such third-party’s software without

14

disclosing the presence of such open source software and we embedded such third-party software into one or more of our products, we could, under certain circumstances, be required to disclose the source code to such products. Third-parties could claim that we are infringing on their patents or other intellectual property rights.

Our planned technology and products may not achieve commercial success or widespread market acceptance.

The technology and products that we plan to develop, may not achieve customer or widespread market acceptance. Some or all of our planned technology and products may not achieve commercial success as a result of technology problems, competitive cost issues, yield problems, and other factors. Even if we successfully introduce a new product, customers may determine not to adopt or may terminate use of our products for a variety of reasons, including the following:

We may be unable to recover any expenditure we make relating to one or more modern technologies that ultimately prove to be unsuccessful for any reason. In addition, any investments or acquisitions made to enhance technologies may also prove to be unsuccessful.

We may not be able to commercialize our planned technology products or services.

A key element of our business strategy involves the development and commercialization of new software technologies and products. The success of this effort depends on numerous factors. We may not be able to expand our business as anticipated and may make substantial investments in product development, and marketing efforts that may not result in any sales. The design and manufacture of products utilizing innovative technology involves a highly complex process that is sensitive to a wide variety of factors. As a result of these factors, we may experience no revenues and no adoption of our planned products or services.

We might not be able to implement our business strategy.

To some extent, our ability to generate cash flow in the future is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, and other factors that are beyond our control. In the event our management has misjudged the market demand, market acceptance of our services, or financial projections and assumptions, results of operations could be adversely affected, and we might not be able to fund our development as planned. If we are unable to finance existing or future projects with cash flow from operations, we will have to adopt one or more alternatives, such as delaying launch, postponing advertising and marketing, canceling development projects and other capital expenditures, or obtaining additional equity/debt financing, or joint venture partners. These sources of additional funds might not be sufficient to finance future projects, and other financing may not be available on acceptable terms, in a timely manner or at all. If we are unable to secure additional financing, we could be forced to limit our business plan, or we may not be able to take advantage of unanticipated opportunities or otherwise respond to unanticipated competitive pressures, which might adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We may experience delays in introducing our planned products or services which may adversely affect our revenue.

The timing of a creative process is difficult to predict. In developing our products, we anticipate dates for the launch of the products and associated product introductions. When we state that we will introduce or anticipate introducing a product at a certain time in the future, those expectations are based on completing the associated development or acquisition and implementation work in accordance with our currently anticipated schedules. Unforeseen delays and difficulties in the development process or significant increases in the planned costs of development, or factors outside our control may cause the introduction date for the product to be later than anticipated or, in some situations, may cause a product introduction to be discontinued. Any delay or cancellation of planned product development and introduction may decrease the number of products and features we sell and harm our business.

We may become dependent upon third-parties for certain future software and marketing applications development.

We may license certain software upgrades from third-party software developers. Licensed software could be embedded in our future product offerings, and some could be offered as add-on products. If these licenses are discontinued, or become invalid or unenforceable, there can be no assurance that we will be able to develop substitutes for the licensed software independently or that we will be able to obtain alternatives in a timely manner. Any delays in obtaining or developing substitutes for future licensed software applications could result in material adverse impacts to our financial condition and plan of operations.

Software piracy is a persistent problem in the IMT&S industry.

Preventing unauthorized use of computer software is difficult, and software piracy is a persistent problem for the software industry. In addition, the laws of various countries in which we may plan to market and sell our software and marketing applications do not protect our software and intellectual property rights to the same extent as the laws of the US. Despite the precautions that we are planning to take to safeguard our software and marketing application, it may be possible for unauthorized third-parties to reverse engineer or copy our planned products or obtain and use information that we regard as proprietary. There can be no assurance that the steps that we plan to take to protect our proprietary rights will be adequate to prevent misappropriation of our technology. If we fail to protect our Company from misappropriation of our technology, our operations could be materially affected.

Our operating results, once established, may have significant periodic and seasonal fluctuations.

15

Customer commitments in the IMT&S industry are frequently short-term. In addition to the variable nature of these commitments, other factors may contribute to significant periodic and seasonal fluctuations in results of operations. These factors may include the following:

Volatility of consumer preferences makes introducing successful products and services difficult and unpredictable.

Our success will depend on generating revenue from market acceptance of the products we release, but market acceptance cannot be predicted or relied upon. Our business plan involves the development of IMT&S products and the future enhancement of those products. The success of future enhancements cannot be assured regardless of the success of any initial products. If our products fail to gain market acceptance, we may not have sufficient revenues to pay our expenses and continue the ongoing development and acquisition of new products. The failure to successfully anticipate, identify and react to consumer preferences would have an adverse effect on revenues, profitability and the results of operations.

Potential profit margins may decline as a result of increasing pressure on margins.

The industry in which we plan to operate is subject to potentially significant pricing pressure caused by many factors. If our estimated gross margin declines and we fail to sufficiently reduce our operating cost or grow our future net revenues, we could incur significant operating losses that we may be unable to fund or sustain for extended periods of time, if at all. This could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, liquidity and financial condition.

We anticipate we will be dependent on the timely receipt of payment from our clients.

We plan to extend payment terms to our future clients. The extension of payment terms and the collection of potential receivables could extend well beyond normal terms outside of our control. Our ability to collect on outstanding receivables, our ability to borrow if needed under any credit facility and our overall financial condition could be negatively affected. Our financial condition and results of operations would be adversely impacted.

Our industry is highly competitive.

The market for marketing statistical software, data mining tools, predictive analytic solutions, both in the US and internationally, is highly fragmented and competitive. However, as our sales channel becomes more visible to potential competitors, some of which have well-recognized brand names and substantial financial, technological, distribution, marketing experience and research and development capabilities, the potential competitors may develop products that compete directly with our products. Competitive pressures from the introduction of novel solutions and products by these companies or other companies could have a material adverse effect on our future business results. There can be no assurance that we will be able to compete successfully or that the competition will not have a material adverse effect on our future business results.

We may experience sporadic sales cycles.

Our sales strategy is focused on our targeted market of Fortune 500 and 1000 businesses with a need for our software, marketing and related services. These “strategic accounts” could produce sales cycles of nine months or more in duration before any revenues are generated by us. These long sales cycles could have an adverse effect on our cash flow and in turn would have a materially adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

We may be subject to risks associated with information disseminated through the Internet.

The safe and secure transmission of confidential information over the Internet has been a significant hurdle to electronic file transfer and communications over the Internet. Any compromise or actual breach of our planned internal security processes, databases and or hardware could deter our targeted clients from using our software and marketing applications and in turn create a materially adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Possible future transactions with our executive management or their affiliates may create conflicts.

Under prescribed circumstances, our bylaws permit us, under restricted circumstances, to enter into transactions with our affiliates, including the borrowing and lending of funds and joint investments. Currently, our policy is not to enter into any transaction involving joint investments with our Management or their affiliates, or to borrow from or lend money to such persons. However, our policies in each of these regards may change in the future.

Our rights and the rights of our shareholders to recover claims against our officers and directors are limited.

16

Nevada law provides that a director has no liability in that capacity if he performs his duties in good faith in a manner he reasonably believes to be in our best interests and with the care that an ordinarily prudent person in a like position would use under similar circumstances. Our articles of incorporation, as amended (the “Articles of Incorporation”) authorize us, and our bylaws require us, to indemnify our directors, officers, employees and agents to the maximum extent permitted under Nevada law.

Additionally, our Articles of Incorporation limit the liability of our directors and officers to us and our shareholders for monetary damages to the maximum extent permitted under Nevada law. As a result, our shareholders and we may have more limited rights against our directors, officers, employees and agents, than might otherwise exist under common law. In addition, we may be obligated to fund the defense costs incurred by our directors, officers, employees and our agents in some cases.

Risks Related to Our Common Stock

Our stock is considered a “penny stock,” and is therefore considered risky.

The SEC has adopted Rule 15g-9 which establishes the definition of a “penny stock,” for the purposes relevant to us, as any equity securities that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions.  Such “penny stocks” and are subject to regulations which mandate the dispersion of certain disclosures to potential investors prior to any investors’ purchase of any penny stocks. Penny stocks are low-priced securities with low trading volume. Consequently, the price of the stock is often volatile and investors may be unable to buy or sell the stock when you desire. The SEC extensively monitors “penny stocks,” and such regulations are enumerated in Exchange Act Section 15(h) and Exchange Act Rules 3a51-1 and 15g-1 through 15g-100. With certain exceptions, brokers selling our stock must adhere to the SEC’s “penny stock” regulations, which requirements include, but are not limited to, the following:

These additional sales practices and the disclosure requirements could impede the sale of our securities. In addition, the liquidity for our securities may be adversely affected, with related adverse effects on the price of our securities.

Certain risk relating to litigation or other legal proceedings, including the judgment against us in favor of our Chief Executive Officer and the outstanding federal and state tax liens against BOOMj.com, could harm our business plans and have a material adverse effect on our operations, which could require us to curtail or cease our operations.

On July 28, 2011, a judgment was entered into in favor of Mr. George Pursglove, our Chief Executive Officer, in connection with his countersuit against BOOMj.com, a former wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.  The judgment was in the total amount of $6,020,775, consisting of: (i) $20,775 for damages as to the claim for failure to pay wages; (ii) $3,000,000 for damages as to the conversion claim; and (iii) $3,000,000 for punitive damages (the “July Judgment”).  The July Judgment accrues interest at a rate of 5.29% per annum.  As of September 30, 2018, the total amount of principal and interest was $8,041,945.  

Also, o n February 17, 2010, the Internal Revenue Service filed a federal tax lien in the amount of $756,711 against all of the property and rights to the property of BOOMj.com for unpaid federal payroll withholding taxes for the year ended December 31, 2009. On June 14, 2010, the Internal Revenue Service filed an additional federal tax lien against BOOMj.com in the amount of $161,150.  The current amount outstanding including penalty and interest is $1,667,163 and $1,607,163 as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, which is also inclusive of amounts outstanding for state tax related claims of $63,725 for both reported periods. The accrued interest on the balance sheet related to this liability is $590,000 and $530,000 as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.  As of the date of this registration statement, the Company has not satisfied the judgment.

We are obligated to make payments to satisfy the July Judgment and the outstanding federal and state tax liens against the company.  In the event we are not able to make these payments, we may be subject to further legal proceedings. Further, we may not have sufficient assets to satisfy either the July Judgment or the outstanding federal and state tax liens which may force us to go into bankruptcy.  Further, it may be difficult for us to obtain financing with these outstanding judgments, which could harm our business plans and have a material adverse effect on our operations, which could require us to curtail or cease our operations.

FINRA sales practice requirements may limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.

In addition to the “penny stock” rules described above, FINRA has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low-priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low-priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. The FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend their customers buy our common stock, which may have the effect of reducing the trading activity in our common stock. As a result, fewer broker-dealers may be willing to make a market in our common stock, reducing a stockholder’s ability to resell shares of our common stock, thereby potentially reducing the liquidity of our common stock.

17

Certain stockholders possess a majority of our voting power, and through this ownership, may control our Company and our corporate actions.

Our controlling stockholders, The 2GP Group, LLC and Fiona Oakley, hold approximately 59.14%of the total voting power of our outstanding capital stock as of March 5, 2019.  The 2GP Group, LLC is an entity controlled by our Chief Executive Officer’s son, Geordan Pursglove, who holds sole voting and dispositive power over these shares.  Mr. Geordan Pursglove is over the age of eighteen and does not live in the same household as our Chief Executive Officer.  Each share of Series A Preferred Stock is convertible into one share of common stock.  In addition, each share of Series A Preferred Stock entitles its holder to (i) cumulative, non-participating dividends in preference and priority to any declaration or payment of a dividend on any of the Company’s common stock, at a rate of 12% per annum, and (ii) three times (3x) voting preference over common stock.  These shareholders have the ability to control our management and affairs through the election and removal of our entire Board of Directors, the amendment of our articles of incorporation or bylaws, and the adoption of measures that could delay or prevent a change in control or impede a merger, takeover or other business combination involving us.  Such concentrated control of the Company may adversely affect the price of our common stock. A stockholder that acquires common stock will not have an effective voice in the management of the Company.

We have no plans to pay dividends on our Common Stock or our Series A Preferred Stock.

We have not previously paid any cash dividends, nor have we determined to pay dividends on any share of Series A Preferred Stock or shares of Common Stock, except as described in the rights and preferences detailed in the “Certificate of Designation of Preferences” for the Series A Preferred Stock filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada. The permissibility to pay dividends on our shares is restricted by Section 78.288 of the Nevada Revised Statutes, which provides that a company may not issue a dividend if the result of such dividend would be to make the company have negative retained earnings.  There can be no assurance that our operations will result in sufficient revenues to enable us to operate at profitable levels or to generate positive cash flows. Furthermore, there is no assurance that the Board of Directors will declare dividends even if profitable. Dividend policy is subject to the Nevada Revised Statutes and the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend on, among other things, our earnings, financial condition, capital requirements and other factors.

If we issue additional shares in the future, it will result in the dilution of our existing stockholders.

We are authorized to issue up to 1,650,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001, of which 1,056,269,876 are currently issued and outstanding. Our board of directors, upon the approval of the stockholders, may seek to increase the number of authorized shares in the future and may choose to issue some or all of such shares to acquire one or more businesses or to provide additional financing in the future. The issuance of any such shares will result in a reduction of the book value and market price of the outstanding shares of our common stock. If we issue any such additional shares, such issuance will cause a reduction in the proportionate ownership and voting power of all current shareholders. Further, such issuance may result in a change of control of our company.

Voting power is highly concentrated in holders of our Series A Preferred Stock.

We are authorized to issue up to 250,000,000 shares of preferred stock, all of which are designated Series A Preferred Stock and all of which are currently issued and outstanding.  Holders of our Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to three times (3x) voting preference over holders of common stock.  Such concentrated control of the Company may adversely affect the price of our common stock. A stockholder that acquires common stock will not have an effective voice in the management of the Company.

We are a “smaller reporting company” and we cannot be certain if the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to smaller reporting companies will make our Common Stock less attractive to investors.

We are an “smaller reporting company,” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act, and we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies, including “emerging growth companies” such as, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. Our status as a smaller reporting company is determined on an annual basis. We cannot predict if investors will find our Common Stock less attractive or our company less comparable to certain other public companies because we will rely on these exemptions. For example, if we do not adopt a new or revised accounting standard, our future financial results may not be as comparable to the financial results of certain other companies in our industry that adopted such standards. If some investors find our Common Stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our Common Stock and our stock price may be more volatile.

The requirements of being a reporting public company may strain our resources, divert management’s attention and affect our ability to attract and retain additional executive management and qualified board members.

As a reporting public company, we are subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and the Dodd-Frank Act, and other applicable securities rules and regulations. Compliance with these rules and regulations will increase our legal and financial compliance costs, make some activities more difficult, time-consuming or costly and increase demand on our systems and resources, particularly after we are no longer a “smaller reporting company.” The Exchange Act requires, among other things, that we file annual, quarterly and current reports with respect to our business and results of operations. As a “smaller reporting company,” we receive certain reporting exemptions under The Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

Changing laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure create uncertainty for public companies, increase legal and financial compliance costs and increase time expenditures for internal personnel. These laws, regulations and standards are subject to interpretation, in many cases due to their lack of specificity, their application in practice may evolve over time as regulators and governing bodies provide new guidance. These changes may result in continued uncertainty regarding compliance matters and may necessitate higher costs due to ongoing revisions to filings, disclosures and governance practices. We intend to invest resources to comply with evolving laws, regulations and standards, and this investment may result in

18

increased general and administrative expenses and a diversion of management’s time and attention from revenue-generating activities to compliance activities. If our efforts to comply with new laws, regulations and standards differ from the activities intended by regulatory or governing bodies due to ambiguities related to their application and practice, regulatory authorities may initiate regulatory or legal proceedings against us and our business may be adversely affected.

As a public company under these rules and regulations, we expect that it may make it more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance, and we may be required to accept reduced coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain coverage. These factors could also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified members of our board of directors, particularly to serve on our audit committee and compensation committee and could also make it more difficult to attract qualified executive officers.

As a result of disclosure of information in this Form 8-K and in filings required of a public company, our business and financial condition will become more visible, which we believe may result in threatened or actual litigation, including by competitors and other third parties. If such claims are successful, our business and results of operations could be adversely affected, and even if the claims do not result in litigation or are resolved in our favor, these claims, and the time and resources necessary to resolve them, could divert the resources of our management and adversely affect our business and results of operations.

Our stock price may be volatile, which may result in losses to our shareholders.

The stock markets experienced and may experience significant price and trading volume fluctuations, and the market prices of companies quoted on the OTCQB, which is where our stock is currently quoted, have experienced sharp share price and trading volume changes. The trading price of our common stock is likely to be volatile and could fluctuate widely in response to many factors both in and outside of our control, and include but are not limited to the following:

Domestic and international stock markets often experience significant price and volume fluctuations. These fluctuations, as well as general economic and political conditions unrelated to our performance, may adversely affect the price of our common stock.  

Volatility in the price of our common stock may subject us to securities litigation.

The market for our common stock may be characterized by significant price volatility as compared to seasoned issuers, and we expect that our share price will continue to be more volatile than a seasoned issuer for the indefinite future. In the past, plaintiffs have often initiated securities class action litigation against a company following periods of volatility in the market price of its securities. We may, in the future, be the target of similar litigation. Securities litigation could result in substantial costs and liabilities and could divert management's attention and resources.

Our common stock may become thinly traded and you may be unable to sell at or near ask prices, or at all.

We cannot predict the extent to which an active public market for trading our common stock will be sustained. The trading volume of our common stock may be sporadically or “thinly-traded,” meaning that the number of persons interested in purchasing our common stock at or near bid prices at certain given time may be relatively small or non-existent.

This situation is attributable to a number of factors, including the fact that we are a small company which is relatively unknown to stock analysts, stock brokers, institutional investors and others in the investment community who generate or influence sales volume.  Even if we came to the attention of such persons, those persons tend to be risk-averse and may be reluctant to follow, purchase, or recommend the purchase of shares of an unproven company such as ours until such time as we become more seasoned and viable. As a consequence, there may be periods of several days or more when trading activity in our shares is minimal or non-existent, as compared to a seasoned issuer which has a large and steady volume of trading activity that will generally support continuous sales without an adverse effect on share price. We cannot give you any assurance that a broader or more active public trading market for our common stock will develop or be sustained, or that current trading levels will be sustained.

The market price for our common stock may become volatile given our status as a relatively small company, which could lead to wide fluctuations in our share price. You may be unable to sell your common stock at or above your purchase price if at all, which may result in substantial losses to you.

Stockholders should be aware that, according to SEC Release No. 34-29093, the market for penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include but are not limited to: (1) control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer; (2) manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases; (3) boiler room practices involving high-pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons; (4) excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differential and markups by selling broker-dealers and (5) the wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the resulting inevitable collapse of those prices and with consequent investor losses. Our management is aware of the abuses that have occurred historically in the penny stock market. Although we do not expect to be in a position to dictate the behavior of the market or of broker-dealers who participate in the market, management will strive within the confines of practical limitations to prevent the described patterns from being established with respect to our securities. The occurrence of these patterns or practices could increase the volatility of our share price.

General risk statement .

Based on all of the foregoing, we believe it is possible for future revenue, expenses and operating results to vary significantly from quarter to quarter and year to year. As a result, quarter-to-quarter and year-to-year comparisons of operating results are not

19

necessarily meaningful or indicative of future performance. Furthermore, we believe that it is possible that in any given quarter or fiscal year our operating results could differ from the expectations of public market analysts or investors. In such event or in the event that adverse conditions prevail, or are perceived to prevail, with respect to our business or generally, the market price of our Common Stock would likely decline.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
