General Development of Business
Our office is located at 3651 Lindell Road, Ste. D#172, Las Vegas, Nevada. Our telephone number is 702-943-0325.
We were incorporated in the State of Nevada under the name Myriad International, Corp. on November 6, 2008.
We filed a Certificate of Amendment with the Secretary of State of Nevada, with the effective date of November 27, 2009, effecting the following corporate changes:
|
|
(1)
|
changing the Company’s name from Myriad International, Corp. to Aura Bio Corp.; and
|
(2)
|
effecting a 20 for 1 forward-split of the Company’s issued and outstanding common shares.
|
On November 16, 2010, the Company filed an amendment with the State of Nevada to change its name to Global Resource Energy Inc.
The Amendment filed with the Nevada Secretary of State also increased the Company’s authorized capital from 75,000,000 shares of common stock, par value, $0.001, to 250,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value.
On November 9, 2010, the Board of Directors of the Company also authorized and approved a forward stock split of three for one (3:1) of the Company’s total issued and outstanding shares of common stock. The forward stock split was effectuated on December 10, 2010 and increased the Company’s total issued and outstanding shares of common stock from 27,000,000 to 81,000,000 shares of common stock.
On April 25, 2011, the Company received the resignation of Harry Lappa as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. On the same day, the Company appointed Douglas Roe as its new President and Chief Executive Officer.
Concurrent with the appointment of Mr. Roe, the Company granted Mr. Roe a $90,000 signing bonus for acting as President and Chief Executive Officer. The signing bonus was paid to Mr. Roe by the issuance of 90,000,000 shares of the Company. This issuance resulted in a change of control of the Company.
On April 26, 2011, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment with the Secretary of State of Nevada, with the effective date of May 2, 2011, effecting a 1,000 to 1 reverse-split of the Company’s issued and outstanding common shares. The reverse Split was approved by FINRA on July 27, 2011.
On July 21, 2011, the Company accepted the resignation of Douglas Roe as the President/Chief Executive Officer, Secretary, Treasurer and the sole member of the Board of Directors of the Company. Simultaneously, Robert Baker was appointed as the sole member of the Board of Directors and as the President/Chief Executive Officer, Secretary and Treasurer of the Company.
On August 1, 2011 the Company approved an annual salary to Mr. Baker of $40,000 which amount was paid in advance by the issuance of a total of 40,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. This issuance effected a change in control of the Company.
On January 26, 2012, the Company entered into an assignment agreement whereby Patedma Group Corp. assigned its distributor agreement with Dongguan City Cled Optoelectronic Co. Ltd. (“Dongguan”) for the distribution of LED Street Lights, Solar LED Street Lights, LED Tunnel Lights, LED Flood Lights, LED High Bay Lights, LED High Mask Lights, LED Garden Lights, Light Sourcing and all Indoor Lighting sold and exported by Dongguan with their trademark CLED.
Global Resource Energy Inc. intends to become a Clean Energy Solutions Company delivering Clean Renewable Energy around the world, with an initial focus on North America. Our principal focus is to acquire evolving renewable technologies and to deliver reliable, clean energy that is harvested from local sustainable natural resources like Wind, Sun, Water and Earth.
On July 13, 2012, the Company announced the execution of a commercial assignment agreement with Atrius Holdings in regards to the assumption of patents and related interests in an alternative energy technology identified as the MyCroft Hydrogen R-LEG Fuel Cell. However, the Company was unable to comply with the terms of the agreement and therefore the agreement did not proceed.
On August 14, 2012, the Company announced further expansion into clean energy by signing a Letter of Intent to sell 49% of its exclusive North American Distribution of CLED Street Lights Rights to Balon Bleu Holdings LLC. This Letter of Intent for a 49% purchase of the Company's Exclusive North American Rights of the CLED Street required Balon Bleu Holdings, a Nevada LLC, to pay an immediate deposit of $50,000 to the Company and $50,000 every month over the next five months for a total of $300,000 USD to earn a 49% assignment of interest for the North American Rights to the highly efficient CLED Street Lighting system. Balon Bleu Holdings, Nevada LLC could not fulfill its obligations under the agreement and the agreement was in default and terminated by the Company.
On November 8 2012, the Company negotiated a one year extension expiring on November 12, 2013, on its licensing agreement with Patedma Group Corp. of Los Angeles, CA, the owner of Kardings America, to extend the exclusive distribution agreement for LED street lighting. This extension will allow the Company to continue selling under Patedma's license agreement and will further solidify the company in the LED street light industry. The Company had anticipated the finalization of a purchase whereby they would outright purchase the rights, however, they were unable to conclude the agreement, therefore the licensing agreement is in full force and effect as of the date of this filing.
On November 12, 2012, the Company entered into a Certified Emission Reductions (“CER”) Pre-sale and Purchase Agreement (“CERSPA”) with Bluforest, Inc. (“Bluforest”). Under the agreement, we pre-purchased 66,000 CERs from Bluforest. The total purchase price of $660,000 was paid in the form of 3,000,000 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock. The shares were issued subsequent to the fiscal year end.
On March 1, 2013 the Board of Directors accepted the resignation of Robert Alan Baker as the President/Chief Executive Officer, Secretary, Treasurer and the sole member of the Board of Directors of the Company. Simultaneously, Mr. Roland Hutzler was appointed the sole member of the Board of Directors and as the President/Chief Executive Officer, Secretary and Treasurer of the Company.
On March 7, 2014 the Company’s majority stockholder, Mr. Robert Baker entered into Reorganization and Stock Purchase Agreement with Mr. Ray Kim whereunder Mr. Baker agreed to sell a total of 40,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, as well as amounts due and payable totaling $11,403 to Mr. Kim for total cash consideration $40,000 payable by Mr. Kim. As a result of the aforementioned transaction Mr. Kim became the controlling shareholder of the Company.
On March 11, 2014 the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Ray Kim (“Kim”), an individual residing in the state of Colorado, whereby the Company will acquire all of the issued and outstanding membership interests of Global Force LLC (“GF”), a Colorado limited liability company, in exchange for 200,000,000 shares of the Company’s preferred stock. GF is a strategic sales, marketing and distribution company. Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company’s sole officer and director, Roland Hutzler submitted his resignation from the Company’s board of directors and as an officer of the Company. Completion of this transaction is dependent on the Company affecting the corporate actions described in the second paragraph below.
On April 23, 2014 the Company’s Board of Directors appointed Mr. Dean Kim as the Company’s President and a member of the Board and appointed Mr. Edward Kim as the Company’s Secretary and Treasurer and a member of the Board.
On March 12, 2014, the Company approved a name change by the formation of a subsidiary of the Company called Global Force, Inc., merging such subsidiary into the Company and thereby changing the Company’s name from Global Resource Energy Inc. to Global Force, Inc. Concurrently the Company’s Board of Directors approved a reverse split of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock on the basis of 1000 to 1. These changes have been submitted to FINRA for approval. As of the date of filing the Annual Report the Company is still waiting for such approval. In addition, the Company approved the creation of a class of preferred stock with authorized capital of up to 250,000,000 preferred shares, par value $0.001 for issuance to officers and consultants as compensation for services rendered.
We have evaluated subsequent events through May 10, 2014. Other than those set out above, there have been no subsequent events for which disclosure is required which are not previously disclosed herein.
Current Business
Global Resource Energy is a clean energy company that will provide services and solutions to businesses, communities and individuals so we can all enjoy a cleaner environment today and for tomorrow.
Our intent is to be a licensor and reseller of clean energy products including wind, solar and alternative energy technologies.
In keeping with the Company’s plan of licensing and reselling clean energy products, on January 26, 2012, extended on November 8, 2012 to expire on November 8, 2013, the Company entered into an assignment agreement and acquired the distribution rights for the distribution of LED Street Lights, Solar LED Street Lights, LED Tunnel Lights, LED Flood Lights, LED High Bay Lights, LED High Mask Lights, LED Garden Lights, Light Sourcing and all Indoor Lighting sold and exported by Dongguan with their trademark CLED. Subsequent to November 8, 2013 the Company received a verbal extension of the contract for a period of six months expiring on May 8, 2014.
The Company hopes to undertake the business operations of supplying highly efficient LED street lighting to municipalities throughout North America through the Company’s exclusive North American distribution agreement. The Company has the exclusive rights to market, sell and distribute the most efficient and long lasting street lights to municipalities, cities and counties throughout the United States and Canada.
In addition to supplying LED lighting, Kardings management is also familiar with a Green Energy Fund called the Hero Program™. This fund is designed to help financially strapped communities not only upgrade to new, highly efficient LED lighting, but to immediately reduce the cost of paying for and maintaining lighting by as much as 40% simply by signing up for the program. The program offers a way to purchase the lighting, and if necessary, the poles, and take advantage of the greater levels of efficiency offered by LED lighting systems. If a municipality elects to choose a 10 year term the cost of lighting could immediately be reduced through subsidies offered by the Hero Program™ up to 40% off their current lighting costs.
As at the date of this filing, the Company does not have sufficient funds to fund any distribution activities or to enter into any management agreement with Kardings and it will have to raise funding in order to be able to undertake its current business plan and to commence distribution of any of the Dongguan products.
On November 12, 2012, the Company entered into a Certified Emission Reductions (“CER”) Pre-sale and Purchase Agreement (“CERSPA”) with Bluforest, Inc. (“Bluforest”). Under the agreement, we pre-purchased 66,000 CERs from Bluforest. The total purchase price of $660,000 was paid in the form of 3,000,000 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock. The shares were issued subsequent to the fiscal year end. This purchase is in keeping with the Company’s clean energy philosophy. As at January 31, 2014 the Company determined to fully impair its investment in CERSPA due to uncertainty about Bluforest’s ability to continue as a going concern.
On March 11, 2014 the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with Mr. Kim GF, whereby the Company will acquire all of the issued and outstanding membership interests of, in exchange for 200,000,000 shares of the Company’s preferred stock. GF is a strategic sales, marketing and distribution company. Upon completion of the acquisition of GF, the Company is will evaluate business opportunities with this new acquisition.
Principal Products and Services and their Markets
The Company has a broad range of indoor and outdoor municipal lighting products. Currently, the products can be viewed in the “Products” section on the Kardings website at
www.kardings.com
.
The Company hopes to provide the service to help guide municipalities through complex negotiations with utilities and with installation contractors to help maximize the cost savings of upgrading.
The lighting systems are available to municipalities of any size. The Company would have the ability to supply villages of 500 with the capacity to produce 50,000 lights per month which could furnish a city of 3 million people, subject to the Company being able to raise the required financing.
Distribution Methods of the Products
The Company will be required to set up distribution of its Products, however it has been limited in its progress with the distribution of these Products due to a lack of funding. The Company has not yet determined whether to directly distribute or enter into a marketing agreement with Kardings or some other marketing and distribution company. The Company will require funds to be able to execute any business plan related to the Products and as yet has not raised any capital to enable any business to proceed, other than the acquisition of the rights. The Products are currently manufactured in China and will be shipped by container directly to their North America destinations.
Status of any Publicly Announced New Product
The Company has acquired the distribution rights to various lighting products as described above on January 26, 2012. However, the Company has not yet set up its distribution or marketing initiatives as it does not have sufficient funding to do so. The Company will be required to undertake a financing in order to commence distribution. The Products are readily available through the manufacturer and are CE approved for worldwide distribution and UL approved for North America which includes the United States and Canada.
Competitive Business Conditions and Our Competitive Position in the Industry and Methods of Competition
The Company, as are most LED distributors today, is a new company with no history of sales or distribution. Even the largest competitor is still in the early stages of business with very few installations. While we believe we have the most technically advanced product in the world and that product is back by the longest warranty at 5 years with the nearest competitor at only 3 years, we still must develop a market for our Products.
We operate in a highly competitive and changing environment.
Some of our competitors, as well as potential entrants into our market, may be better positioned to succeed in this market. They may have:
·
|
longer operating histories;
|
·
|
more management experience;
|
·
|
an employee base with more extensive experience;
|
·
|
better geographic coverage;
|
·
|
larger customer bases;
|
·
|
greater brand recognition; and
|
·
|
significantly greater financial, marketing and other resources
|
Currently, and in the future, as the more clean energy products are available, there will likely be larger, more well-established and well-financed entities that acquire companies and/or invest in or form joint ventures in categories or countries of interest to us, all of which could adversely impact our business. Any of these trends could increase competition and reduce the demand for any of our products or services.
Sources and Availability of Raw Materials and Names of Principal Suppliers
All of our products are sourced from one Chinese manufacturer that has given the Company distribution rights exclusively. The Dongguan City Cled Optoelectronic Co. Ltd. supplies our full line of lights on a revolving distribution agreement.
Dependence on One or a Few Major Customers
We do not currently have any customers.
Patents, Trademarks, Licenses, Franchises, Concessions, Royalty Agreements or Labor Contracts, including Duration
Patents and trademarks (“CLED”) are held by the Dongguan City Cled Optoelectronic Co. Ltd. (the “Supplier”) The Company has a distribution agreement with Dongguan City Cled Optoelectronic Co., Ltd. The Company has the right to use the trade mark of Supplier during the effective period of the distribution agreement in connection with the sale of Products. Any and all rights granted by the Supplier to the Company shall terminate upon termination of the distribution agreement.
Under the terms of the distribution agreement, the Company has the exclusive rights to all U.S. states East of the Mississippi River and including the states of California, Oregon, Washington and Arizona and anywhere in Canada (the “Exclusive Territory”), as well, the Company also has the rights to sell or export products outside the Exclusive Territory during the effective period of the distribution agreement. Should the Company sell to any parties outside the Exclusive Territory, those customers will be grandfathered in the event that the supplier assigns the market to another distributor. The distribution agreement expires on October 31, 2012 and may be granted for another twelve month’s subject to the Supplier’s consent. The agreement is for a must meet.
Subsequently, on November 1, 2012, the Distribution Agreement between Dongguan City Cled Optoelectronic Co. Ltd and Patedma Group Corp., DBA Kardings America remains in force and will be terminated on October 31, 2013. Subsequent to October 31, 2013 the Company was advised of an extension of the Distribution Agreement for a period of not less than six months terminating on or about May 8, 2014.
Need for Any Government Approval of Principal Products or Services
Although the lights are assembled in China, only the housing and lenses are actually manufactured there. The LED array is manufactured by BridgeLux® in California, USA and the electrical drivers are made by Philips® in the USA.
The products are all certified by
Conformité Européenne
(CE). CE is a mandatory conformity mark for products placed on the market in the European Economic Area (EEA) and in most Latin American and South American Countries. With the CE marking on a product, the manufacturer ensures that the product conforms with the essential requirements of the applicable EC directives. In addition to the CE certification the lights are also certified by Underwriters Laboratories (UL) and conform to electrical safety standards in the United States and Canada.
Effect of Existing or Probable Government Regulations on our Business
As the general lighting landscape continues to evolve, LED lighting for general illumination is being adopted as a viable alternative to traditional lighting due to its unique characteristics and its energy savings potential.
Like traditional lighting equipment, solid-state lighting (SSL) products sold in the United States and Canada are subject to industry standards governing safety and performance. There are key guidelines as well as performance and safety standards that are applicable to SSL products, including those utilizing light-emitting diodes (LEDs).
The use of national standards and test methods improves consistency of performance and facilitates product comparisons, thereby increasing consumer confidence and satisfaction. As the technology matures, standards and guidelines are created or revised as needed. New technologies require new standards and testing benchmarks. From an industry perspective standards and regulations provide a platform for consistent language in regard to definitions, test methods, laboratory accreditation and for product design, manufacturing and testing.
From a governmental perspective, regulation helps ensure public safety, provides consumer protection, regulates energy consumption and monitors environmental issues.
Standards are voluntary and Regulations are mandatory.
Federal Government Regulations:
In December 2007, the federal government enacted the
Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007
, which contains maximum wattage requirements for all general service incandescent lamps producing from 310–2600
lumens
of light. However, these regulations never became law, as another section of the 2007 EISA bill overwrites them, and thus, current law, as specified in the U.S. Code, "does not relate to maximum wattage requirements.”
The efficiency standards will start with 100-watt bulbs and end with 40-watt bulbs. The timeline for these standards was to start in January 2012, but on December 16, 2011, the U.S. House passed the final
2012 budget
legislation, which effectively delayed the implementation until October 2012.
Light bulbs outside of this range are exempt from the restrictions. Also exempt are several classes of specialty lights, including appliance lamps, rough service bulbs, 3-way, colored lamps, stage lighting, and plant lights.
The United States Environmental Protection Agency's Energy Star program in March 2008 established rules for labeling lamps that meet a set of standards for efficiency, starting time, life expectancy, color, and consistency of performance. The intent of the program is to reduce consumer concerns about efficient light bulbs due to variable quality of products.
[32]
Those CFLs with a recent Energy Star certification start in less than one second and do not flicker. Energy Star Light Bulbs for Consumers is a resource for finding and comparing Energy Star qualified lamps.
By 2020, a second tier of restrictions would become effective, which requires all general-purpose bulbs to produce at least 45 lumens per watt (similar to current CFLs). Exemptions from the Act include reflector flood, 3-way, candelabra, colored, and other specialty bulbs.
Individual state efforts
California will phase out the use of incandescent bulbs by 2018 as part of bill by California State Assembly on October 12, 2007. The bill aims to establish a minimum standard of twenty-five lumens per watt by 2013 and sixty lumens per watt by 2018.
Canada
The provincial government of Nova Scotia stated in February 2007 that it would like to move towards preventing the sale of incandescent light bulbs in the province.
In April 2007, Ontario's Minister of Energy Dwight Duncan announced the provincial government's intention to ban the sale of incandescent light bulbs by 2012. Later in April, the federal government announced that it would ban the sale of inefficient incandescent light bulbs nation-wide by 2012 as part of a plan to cut down on emissions of greenhouse gases. On Nov 9, 2011, the federal government approved a proposal to delay new energy efficiency standards for light bulbs until Jan. 1, 2014, when it will become illegal to import inefficient incandescent lighting across the country.
In Dec 2011, Ontario Energy Minister confirmed that Ontario is scrapping the five-year-old promise "to avoid confusing consumers".
The Energy Star program, in which Natural Resources Canada is a partner, in March 2008 established rules for labeling lamps that meet a set of standards for efficiency, starting time, life expectancy, color, and consistency of performance. The intent of the program is to reduce consumer concerns about efficient light bulbs due to variable quality of products. Those CFLs with a recent Energy Star certification start in less than one second and do not flicker.
In January 2011, the province of British Columbia banned retailers from ordering 75- or 100-watt incandescent bulbs.
The nation's Energy Efficiency Regulations are published on the Natural Resources Canada website.
Research and Development Activities and Costs
We did not undertake any research and development activities in fiscal 2014 or 2013.
Costs and Effects of Compliance with Environmental Law
The secondary function of LED lighting is to reduce energy consumption. When the cost of maintaining existing municipal lighting systems is factored in LED lights can be as much as 75% more efficient. Although the initial cost of purchasing LED lighting is higher, over a fifteen year term the LED lights are more than 75% less expensive to own and operate. LED lights do not use harmful metals such as mercury either and do not pollute the night sky.
Employees
We do not have any employees at this time. All of the business activities of the Company are undertaken by our sole officer and director, except for those accounting and filing activities undertaken by consultants.
