SUBJECT TO COMPLETION, DATED

PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS
IGEN NETWORKS CORP.
Up to 200,000,000 Shares of Common Stock
This Prospectus relates to the offer and sale from time-to-time of
up to 200,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001, of IGEN
Networks Corp, a Nevada corporation, by Jefferson Street Capital,
LLC, a New Jersey limited liability company (the
“Selling Stockholder”). We are
registering the resale of the above shares of Common Stock issuable
under an equity line in the amount of $5,000,000 established by the
Equity Financing Agreement, dated as of April 3, 2022 (the
“Equity Line”), between us and the
Selling Stockholder, as more fully described in this Prospectus.
The resale of such shares by the Selling Stockholder pursuant to
this Prospectus is referred to as the
“Offering.” The Offering consists of
200,000,000 shares being registered issuable pursuant to the Equity
Line.
Our common stock is currently quoted on the OTC Market Group,
Inc.’s Pink Current Information tier under the symbol “IGEN”. As
reported by OTC Markets, the most recent reported trading price of
our Common Stock was $.0041 per share on May 31, 2022.
We are not selling any securities under this Prospectus and will
not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares of Common Stock by
the Selling Stockholder. We will, however, receive proceeds from
sale of our Common Stock under the Equity Line to the Selling
Stockholder.
The Equity Financing Agreement with the Selling Stockholder
provides that the Selling Stockholder is committed to purchase up
to $5,000,000 (“Maximum Commitment
Amount”) of our Common Stock over the course of its
term. The term of the Equity Financing Agreement commenced on April
3, 2022 and will end on the earlier of (i) the date on which the
Selling Stockholder has purchased Common Stock from us pursuant to
the Equity Financing Agreement equal to the Maximum Commitment
Amount, (ii) April 3, 2025, or (iii) written notice of termination
by us.
We may draw on the Equity Line from time-to-time, as and when we
determine appropriate in accordance with the terms and conditions
of the Equity Financing Agreement. The securities included in this
Prospectus represent the Common Stock issuable to the Selling
Stockholder under the Equity Line.
The Selling Stockholder is an “underwriter” within the meaning of
Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
“Securities Act”). The Selling
Stockholder may sell the shares of Common Stock described in this
Prospectus in a number of different ways and at varying prices. We
will pay the expenses incurred in registering the shares of Common
Stock, including legal and accounting fees. See “Plan of
Distribution” for more information about how the Selling
Stockholder may sell the shares of Common Stock being offered
pursuant to this Prospectus.
Investing in our Common Stock is speculative and involves
substantial risks. You should carefully consider the matters
discussed under “Risk Factors” beginning on page 8 of this
Prospectus before making any decision to invest in our Common
Stock.
Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) nor
any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of
these securities or determined if this Prospectus is truthful or
complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal
offense.

Equity Financing Agreement with Jefferson Street Capital,
LLC
On April 3, 2022, we executed an Equity Financing Agreement with
Jefferson Street Capital, LLC (“Jefferson Steet
Capital” or the “Selling
Stockholder”), which was finalized and effected on
April 3, 2022 (the “Equity Line”). Under
the Equity Line, we have the right to sell to Jefferson Street
Capital up to $5,000,000 of shares of our Common Stock for a period
of up to three (3) years, commencing on the execution date of the
agreement. Under the Equity Line, the Selling Stockholder is
committed to purchase, on an unconditional basis, shares of our
common stock (“Put Shares”).
The Equity Financing Agreement provides that that we have the
right, but not the obligation, to deliver to Jefferson Street
Capital from time-to-time, a “put notice” stating the number of
shares and purchase price of Common shares we intend to sell to
Jefferson Street Partners. The purchase price of the shares will be
88% of the lesser of the (i) “market price,” defined as the lowest
traded price for any trading day during the 15 consecutive trading
days immediately preceding delivery of the put notice. The 15
consecutive trading days preceding the receipt of the put notice is
referred to as the pricing period. Each put notice shall be
(i) in a minimum amount not less than $10,000 and (ii) a maximum
amount up to the lesser of (a) $200,000 or (b) 200% of the average
daily trading dollar volume during the pricing period. The
put amount is defined as the average trading volume of our common
stock during the 15 consecutive trading days immediately preceding
delivery of the respective put notice (the “pricing
period”), multiplied by the lowest traded price of
the of our shares during the pricing period. We may not deliver a
new put notice until ten trading days after the clearing of the
prior put notice.
As a term of the Equity Financing Agreement, we entered into a
Registration Rights Agreement with Jefferson Street Capital,
whereby we agreed to register for resale by Jefferson Street
Capital the shares of Common Stock purchased pursuant to the Equity
Financing Agreement. Accordingly, we filed a registration statement
with the SEC on Form S-1, of which this Prospectus is a part, and
which covers the resale of shares to be issued under the
Registration Rights Agreement.

Risk Factors
|
|
An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk and
could result in a loss of your entire investment. Further, the
issuance to, or sale by, the Selling Stockholder of a significant
amount of shares being registered in connection with this
Prospectus at any given time, could cause the market price of our
common stock to decline and to be highly volatile. We do not have
the right to control the timing and amount of any sales of such
shares by the Selling Stockholder. Prior to making an investment
decision, you should carefully consider all of the information in

Selling Stockholder
The Selling Stockholder, Jefferson Street Capital, LLC, a New
Jersey limited liability company, is committed to purchase, on an
unconditional basis, shares of our Common Stock (“Put
Shares”) at an aggregate price of up to $5,000,000 over the
term of the Equity Financing Agreement. Based on the trading price
of our Common Stock as of April 19, 2022, we estimate Jefferson
Street Capital would purchase an aggregate of 833,000,000 shares of
Common Stock under the Equity Financing Agreement if the entire
$5,000,000 amount had been drawn. The Offering consists of
200,000,000 Put Shares issuable pursuant to the Equity Line; such
shares would represent approximately 11% of our outstanding Common
Stock as of April 19, 2022, resulting in significant ownership
dilution to our existing Common stockholders. This Prospectus
relates to the future sale of these shares, from time-to-time, by
Jefferson Street Capital.
Plan of distribution
The Selling Stockholder, including any of its pledgees, assignees
and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all
of its securities covered hereby that were acquired under the
Equity Line. Sales may be made on the OTC Markets Pink Current
Information tier or any other stock exchange, market or trading
facility on which the securities are traded, or in private
transactions. These sales may be at the prevailing market price or
related to the then current market price, fixed prices or
negotiated prices. See “The Offering - Plan of Distribution.”
RISK FACTORS
An investment in IGEN common stock is speculative, involves
significant risks and should not be made by anyone who cannot
afford to lose his or her entire investment. Before you invest in
our common stock, you should be aware that our business faces
numerous financial and market risks, including those described
below, as well as general economic and business risks. You should
consider carefully the following risks and uncertainties, together
with all other information contained in this Prospectus, before
deciding to invest in our common stock. The risks and uncertainties
identified below are not the only risks and uncertainties we face.
If any of the following events or risks should occur, our business,
operating results and financial condition would likely suffer
materially and you could lose part or all of your
investment.
Risks Relating to Our Business
Our auditors have expressed a going concern
modification to their audit report.
Our independent auditors include a modification in their report to
our financial statements, expressing that certain matters regarding
the Company raise substantial doubt as to our ability to continue
as a going concern. Note 1 to the December 31, 2021 and 2020
consolidated financial statements, states that the Company has
recurring losses from operations and has a negative operating cash
flow since inception that raise substantial doubt about our ability
to continue as a going concern. Management anticipates that the
Company can attain profitable status and improve liquidity through
continued business development and additional debt or equity
investment in the Company. There can be no assurance that necessary
debt or equity financing will be available, or will be available,
on terms acceptable to the Company, in which case we may be unable
to meet our obligations. If we are unable to obtain adequate
financing or achieve profitability, there will be substantial doubt
about our ability to continue as a going concern in the future.
If we continue
to have an
ineffective system of internal controls
over financial reporting, we may not be able to accurately report
our financial results, which could have a material adverse effect
on our share price.
Effective internal controls are necessary for us to provide
accurate financial reports. Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act
of 2002 and related SEC rules require, among other things,
management to assess annually the effectiveness of our internal
control over financial reporting. For the year ended December 31,
2021, we identified material weaknesses in our internal controls
over financial reporting: namely (1) a material weakness related to
the discovery of an error in a prior period financial statements
related to revenue recognition, and (2) a material weakness related
to the proper valuation of derivative instruments and share-based
compensation amounts using the appropriate valuation models to
determine reasonable estimates of fair value. If our controls fail,
or management and/or our independent auditors conclude in their
reports that our internal control over financial reporting was not
effective, investors could lose confidence in our reported
financial information, which could negatively affect the value of
our shares. Also, we could be subject to sanctions or
investigations by the SEC or other regulatory authorities, which
would require additional financial and management resources.
Because we do not have an audit committee, stockholders
will have to rely on our directors, one of whom is not independent,
to perform these functions.
We do not have an audit or compensation committee comprised of
independent directors. These functions are performed by the board
of directors as a whole. One member of the board of directors is
not an independent director. Accordingly, there is a potential
conflict in that board members may also be engaged in management
and participate in decisions concerning management, compensation
and audit issues, which may affect management performance.
If sufficient demand for our services does not
materialize, our business would be materially affected, which could
result in the loss of your entire investment.
Demand for our services depends on many factors, including:
|
●
|
the number of customers we can attract and retain over time;
|
|
●
|
the economy in general and, in periods of rapidly declining
economic conditions, customers may defer services, such as ours, to
pay their own debts to remain solvent;
|
|
●
|
the competitive environment in the software services markets may
force us to reduce prices below desired pricing level or increase
promotional spending; and
|
|
●
|
the ability to anticipate changes in user preferences and to meet
customers’ needs in a timely, cost-effective manner.
|
All these factors could result in immediate and longer-term
declines in demand for our offered services, which could adversely
affect our sales, cash flows and overall financial condition. As a
result, an investor could lose his or her entire investment.
Our future success depends on our ability to develop
services, products and projects and to sell them to distribution
channels. The inability to establish distribution channels, may
severely limit our growth prospects.
Our business success is completely dependent on our ability to
successfully develop services, products and projects and secure
viable distribution channels. Revenues derived therefrom will
represent vital funds necessary for our continued operations. The
loss or damage of any of our business relationships and/or revenues
derived therefrom, will result in the inability to market our
services, products and projects.
It is possible that our projects may infringe on other
patented, trademarked or copyrighted concepts. Litigation arising
out of infringement or other commercial disputes could cause us to
incur expenses and impair our competitive
advantage.
We cannot be certain that our products or projects will not
infringe upon existing patents, trademarks, copyrights or other
intellectual property rights held by third parties. Because we may
rely on third parties to help develop some of our projects, we
cannot ensure that litigation will not arise from disputes
involving these third parties. We may incur substantial expenses in
defending against prospective claims, regardless of their merit.
Successful claims against us may result in substantial monetary
liability, significantly impact our results of operations in one or
more quarters, or materially disrupt the conduct of our business.
Our success depends in part on our ability to obtain and enforce
intellectual property protection for our products and projects, to
preserve our trade secrets and to operate without infringing the
proprietary rights of third parties.
The validity and breadth of claims covered in our copyrights and
trademarks that we intend to file involve complex legal and factual
questions and, therefore, may be highly uncertain. No assurances
can be given that any future copyright, trademark or other
applications:
|
●
|
will be issued;
|
|
●
|
that the scope of any future intellectual property protection will
exclude competitors or provide competitive advantages to the
Company;
|
|
●
|
that any copyrights or trademarks will be held valid if
subsequently challenged;
|
|
●
|
that others will not claim rights in, or ownership of, the
potential copyrights or trademarks or other proprietary rights held
by us; or
|
|
●
|
that our intellectual property will not infringe, or be alleged to
infringe, on the proprietary rights of others.
|
Furthermore, there can be no assurance that others have not
developed or will not develop similar intellectual properties.
Also, whether or not additional intellectual property protection is
issued to the Company, others may hold or receive protection
covering intellectual properties that were subsequently developed
by the Company. No assurance can be given that others will not, or
have not, independently developed or otherwise acquired
substantially equivalent intellectual property.
Dependence on general economic
conditions.
The success of our Company depends, to a large extent, on certain
economic factors that are beyond our control. Factors such as
general economic conditions, levels of unemployment, interest
rates, tax rates at all levels of government and other factors
beyond our control may have an adverse effect on our ability to
sell our services and to collect sums due and owing to us.
We are dependent upon our directors, officer and
consultants, the loss of any of whom would negatively affect our
business.
We are dependent upon the experience and efforts of our directors,
officers and consultants to operate our business. We also expect to
depend upon service provider such as actors, editors, writers and
camera crews. If any director or officer leaves or is otherwise
unable to perform their duties, or should any consultant cease
their activities for any reason before qualified replacements could
be found, there could be material adverse effects on our business
and prospects. We have not entered into employment or
non-competition agreements with any individuals, and do not
maintain key-man life insurance. Our future success will depend on
our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel. Unless and
until additional employees are hired, our attempt to manage our
business and projects and meet our obligations with a limited staff
could have material adverse consequences, including, without
limitation, a possible failure to meet a contractual or SEC
deadline or other business-related obligation.
We may not be able to manage future growth effectively,
which could adversely affect our operations and financial
performance.
The ability to manage and operate our business as we execute our
business plan will require effective planning. If we should
experience significant rapid growth in the future, it could strain
management and internal resources that would adversely affect
financial performance. We anticipate that future growth could place
a serious strain on personnel, management systems, infrastructure
and other resources. Our ability to manage future growth
effectively will require attracting, training, motivating,
retaining and managing new employees and continuing to update and
improve operational, financial and management controls and
procedures. If we do not manage growth effectively, our operations
could be adversely affected resulting in slower growth and a
failure to achieve or sustain profitability.
We have had a history of losses and may incur future
losses, which may prevent us from attaining
profitability.
We have a history of operating losses since inception and, as of
December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2022 we had a accumulated deficit
of $19,076,522 and $19,358,959 respectively. We may incur future
operating losses and these losses could be substantial and impact
our ability to attain profitability. In the immediate future, we do
not expect to significantly increase expenditures for product
development, general and administrative expenses, and sales and
marketing expenses without additional funding. However, if we
cannot generate sufficient future revenues, we will not achieve or
sustain profitability or positive operating cash flows. Even if we
achieve profitability and positive operating cash flows, we may not
be able to sustain or increase profitability or positive operating
cash flows on a quarterly or annual basis.
We anticipate needing additional financing to
accomplish our business plan.
At May 31, 2022 we had cash on hand of $ 75,000. Management
estimates that we will require approximately an additional $900,000
during the next 12 months to fully implement our current business
plan. We anticipate that at least a portion of these funds will be
realized from the Equity Line. However, there is no assurance that
we will be able to secure all necessary financing, or that any
additional financing available will be available on terms
acceptable to us, or at all. Shares issued under the Equity Line
and any additional offerings of Common Stock will dilute the
holdings of our then-current stockholders. If we borrow funds, we
would likely be obligated to make periodic interest or other debt
service payments and be subject to additional restrictive
covenants. If alternative sources of financing are required, but
are insufficient or unavailable, we will be required to modify our
growth and operating plans in accordance with the extent of
available funding. Presently, we do not intend to obtain any debt
financing from a lending institution. If necessary, our board of
directors or other stockholders may agree to loan funds to the
Company, although there are no formal agreements to do so. Failure
to secure additional capital, if needed, could force us to curtail
our growth strategy, reduce or delay capital expenditures and
downsize operations, which would have a material negative effect on
our financial condition.
Our agreement with Jefferson Street Capital may limit
the amount we may draw pursuant to an individual put notice under
the Equity Line.
Under the Equity Line with Jefferson Street Capital, we have the
ability to put shares of Common Stock for purchase up to the
maximum aggregate amount of $5,000,000. However, the Equity
Financing Agreement contains certain limitations on the amount we
can draw pursuant to any single put notice. Because of the pricing
formula in the agreement, we may be limited in the maximum amount
of a put notice during a pricing period when our shares are trading
at a lower price with low volume. Thus, there is no assurance that
we will be able to draw sufficient funds during a certain pricing
period that would satisfy current cash needs. In this event, we may
have to rely on the availability of alternative funding. If such
funding is not readily available, we would likely encounter
financial difficulties that could threaten our ongoing business
endeavors and financial conditions.
We could become involved in claims or litigations that
may result in adverse outcomes.
From time-to-time we may be involved in a variety of claims or
litigations. Such proceeding may initially be viewed as immaterial,
but could prove to be material. Litigations are expensive and
inherently unpredictable and excessive verdicts do occur. Given the
inherent uncertainties in litigation, even when we can reasonably
estimate the amount of possible loss or range of loss and
reasonably estimable loss contingencies, the actual outcome may
change in the future due to new developments or changes in
approach. In addition, such claims or litigations could involve
significant expense and diversion of management’s attention and
resources from other matters.
Being a public company involves increased
administrative costs, including compliance with SEC reporting
requirements, which could result in lower net income and make it
more difficult for us to attract and retain key
personnel.
As a public company subject to the reporting requirements of the
Exchange Act, we incur significant legal, accounting and other
expenses. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as new rules
subsequently implemented by the SEC, require changes in corporate
governance practices of public companies. We believe these new
rules and regulations increase legal and financial compliance costs
and make some activities more time consuming. For example, in
connection with being a public company, we may have to create new
board committees, implement additional internal controls and
disclose controls and procedures, adopt an insider trading policy
and incur costs relating to preparing and distributing periodic
public reports. These rules and regulations could also make it more
difficult to attract and retain qualified executive officers and
members of our board of directors, particularly to serve on our
audit committee.
Management must invest significant time and energy to stay current
with public company responsibilities, which limits the time they
can apply to other tasks associated with operations. It is possible
that the additional burden and expense of operating as a public
company could hinder our ability to achieve and maintain
profitability, which would cause our business to fail and investors
to lose all their money invested in our stock.
We estimate that being a public company will cost us more than
$100,000 annually. This is in addition to all other costs of doing
business. It is important that we maintain adequate cash flow, not
only to operate our business, but also to pay the cost of remaining
public. If we fail to pay public company costs as incurred, we
could become delinquent in our reporting obligations and our shares
may no longer remain qualified for quotation on a public market.
Further, investors may lose confidence in the reliability of our
financial statements causing our stock price to decline.
Provisions in our charter documents and under Nevada law could make
an acquisition of our Company more difficult, limit attempts by our
stockholders to replace or remove our current board of directors
and limit the market price of our common stock.
Provisions in our amended and restated Articles of Incorporation
and may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of
control or changes in our management. Our amended and restated
Articles of Incorporation include provisions that:
●
|
permit our board of directors to establish the number of directors
and fill any vacancies and newly created directorships;
|
●
|
require super-majority voting to amend some provisions in our
amended and restated Articles of Incorporation and amended and
restated bylaws;
|
●
|
authorize the issuance of “blank check” preferred stock that our
board of directors could use to implement a stockholder rights plan
or issue preferred shares with super voting rights that will
effectively reduce or eliminate the rights of shareholders of our
common stock to amend our Articles of Incorporation or remove a
director;
|
●
|
provide that only the Chairperson of our board of directors, our
Chief Executive Officer, or a majority of our board of directors
will be authorized to call a special meeting of stockholders.
|
In addition, Section 78.411 et seq. of the Nevada Revised Statutes
provides that a Nevada corporation which has not opted out of
coverage by this section in the prescribed manner may not engage in
any combination with an interested stockholder for a period of two
years following the date that the stockholder became an interested
stockholder unless prior to that time the board of directors of the
corporation approved either the combination or the transaction
which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested
stockholder. The Company has not opted out of this provision, which
reduces the options of the Company being acquired without the
consent of the board of directors.
Risks Relating to Our Industry
If we are not successful in the continued development,
timely manufacture, and introduction of new products or product
categories, demand for our products could decrease to the extent
that lost sales and profits from declining segments or product
categories are not entirely offset.
We expect that a significant portion of our future revenue will
continue to be derived from sales of newly introduced products.
This is particularly important to replace sales and profits lost in
declining segments or product categories. The market for our
products is characterized by rapidly changing technology, evolving
industry standards and changes in customer needs. If we fail to
introduce new products, or to modify or improve our existing
products, in response to changes in technology, industry standards
or customer needs, our products could rapidly become less
competitive or obsolete. We must continue to make significant
investments in research and development in order to continue to
develop new products, enhance existing products and achieve market
acceptance for such products. However, there can be no assurance
that development stage products will be successfully completed or,
if developed, will achieve significant customer acceptance.
If we are unable to successfully develop and introduce competitive
new products, and enhance our existing products, our future results
of operations would be adversely affected. Our pursuit of necessary
technology may require substantial time and expense. We may need to
license new technologies to respond to technological change. These
licenses may not be available to us on terms that we can accept or
may materially change the gross profits that we are able to obtain
on our products. We may not succeed in adapting our products to new
technologies as they emerge. Development and manufacturing
schedules for technology products are difficult to predict, and
there can be no assurance that we will achieve timely initial
customer shipments of new products. The timely availability of
these products in volume and their acceptance by customers are
important to our future success. Any future challenges related to
new products, whether due to product development delays,
manufacturing delays, lack of market acceptance, delays in
regulatory approval, or otherwise, could have a material adverse
effect on our results of operations.
If we are unable to compete effectively with existing or
new competitors, our resulting loss of competitive position could
result in price reductions, fewer customer orders, reduced margins
and loss of market share.
The Company was impacted by the pandemic from supply chain delays
and lack of availability of franchise vehicles within the
automotive industry. The markets for our products are highly
competitive, and we expect competition to increase in the future.
Some of our competitors have significantly greater financial,
technical and marketing resources than we do. These competitors may
be able to respond more rapidly to new or emerging technologies or
changes in customer requirements. They may also be able to devote
greater resources to the development, promotion and sale of their
products or secure better product positioning with retailers.
Increased competition could result in price reductions, fewer
customer orders, reduced margins and loss of market share. Our
failure to compete successfully against current or future
competitors could seriously harm our business, financial condition
and results of operations.
The consumer automotive segment, which represents almost
all of our revenue, may decline in 2022. The demand for personal
navigation devices (PNDs) has been and continues to be reduced by
replacement technologies becoming available on mobile devices and
factory-installed systems in new autos, as well as by market
saturation.
This market is highly competitive, as competing new technologies
emerge. GPS/navigation technologies have been incorporated into
competing devices such as mobile handsets, tablets, and new
automobiles through factory-installed systems. Many companies are
now offering tracking software for these mobile devices.
We have a number of competitors in our market segment, and
some of them are well capitalized and they continue to develop
competitive products.
There are a number of companies offering automobile tracking
products that may compete with our products. While we continuously
strive to improve our product line and offer new and improved
technology, some of our competitors are more well capitalized than
we are and can produce competing produces on a larger scale and for
a more competitive price.
Risks Relating to this Offering and Ownership of Our Common
Stock
Our Common Stock is traded on the OTC Markets Pink
Current Information Tier under the symbol “IGEN”, but there is no
assurance that an active market for the shares will be
maintained.
Although our shares are currently quoted and traded on the OTC
Markets Pink Current Information tier, we cannot assure our
stockholders that a continuous and active trading market will be
sustained. In the even an active trading market is not maintained,
it would be difficult, if not impossible, for stockholders to
liquidate their shares. Also, the trading price for our shares may
be highly volatile and subject to significant fluctuations due to
variations in quarterly operating results and other business and
economic factors. These price fluctuations may adversely affect the
liquidity of our shares, as well as the price that holders may
realize for their shares upon any future sale.
Stockholders of IGEN Common Stock should be aware that
the public market may be volatile and subject to severe swings in
price.
We believe that the trading market for our shares on the OTC
Markets Pink Current Information Tier is volatile and subject to
numerous factors, many beyond our control. Some factors that may
influence the price of our shares are:
|
●
|
Our ability to find viable companies in which to invest;
|
|
●
|
Our ability to successfully manage companies in which we
invest;
|
|
●
|
Our ability to successfully raise capital;
|
|
●
|
Our ability to successfully expand and leverage the distribution
channels of our portfolio companies;
|
|
●
|
Our ability to develop new distribution partnerships and
channels;
|
|
●
|
Expected tax rates and foreign exchange rates
|
|
●
|
The continuing uncertain economic conditions;
|
|
●
|
Price and product competition;
|
|
●
|
Changing product mixes;
|
|
●
|
The loss of any significant customers;
|
|
●
|
Higher than expected product, service or operating costs;
|
|
●
|
Inability to leverage intellectual property rights; and
|
|
●
|
Delayed product or service introductions.
|
Additionally, the stock market may experience extreme price and
volume fluctuations, which, without a direct relationship to our
operating performance, may affect the market price of our shares.
In the past, following periods of extreme volatility in the market
price of a company’s securities, a securities class action
litigation has often been instituted. A securities class action
suit against us could result in substantial costs and divert our
management’s time and attention, which would otherwise be used to
benefit our business.
Issuing a large number of shares of Common Stock could
significantly dilute our existing stockholders and negatively
impact the market price of our shares.
The Equity Financing Agreement (Equity Line) with Jefferson Street
Capital (the Selling Stockholder) provides that Jefferson Street
Capital is committed to purchase, on an unconditional basis, shares
of our Common Stock (“Put Shares”) at an aggregate price
of up to $5,000,000 over the three-year term of the agreement. Upon
delivery of a put notice, the purchase price of the Put Shares
shall equal 88% of the lesser of the (i) “market price,” defined as
the lowest traded price for any trading day during the 15 trading
days immediately preceding the respective Put Date. The
Company may not deliver a new put notice until ten trading days
after the clearing of the prior put notice. As a result, if we sell
shares of Common Stock under the Equity Line, we will be issuing
Common Stock at a discount below market prices, which could cause
the market price of our Common Stock to decline and, if such
issuances are significant in number, the amount of the decline in
our market price could also be significant.
In general, we are unlikely to sell shares of Common Stock under
the Equity Line at a time when the additional dilution to
stockholders would be substantial, unless we are unable to obtain
capital to meet our financial obligations from other sources on
better terms at such time. However, if we do, the dilution that
could result from such issuances could have a material adverse
impact on existing stockholders and could cause the price of our
Common Stock to fall rapidly based on the amount of such
dilution.
The Selling Stockholder may sell a large number of
shares, resulting in a substantial decrease to the value of shares
held by existing stockholders.
Pursuant to the Equity Financing Agreement, we are prohibited from
delivering a put notice to the Selling Stockholder to the extent
that the issuance of shares causes the Selling Stockholder to
beneficially own more than 4.99% of our then-outstanding shares of
Common Stock. However, these restrictions do not prevent the
Selling Stockholder from selling shares of Common Stock received in
connection with the Equity Line and then receiving additional
shares of Common Stock in connection with a subsequent issuance. In
this way, the Selling Stockholder could sell more than 4.99% of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock in a relatively short time frame
while never holding more than 4.99% at any one time. As a result,
our existing stockholders and new investors could experience
substantial diminution in the value of their shares. Additionally,
we do not have the right to control the timing and amount of any
sales by the Selling Stockholder of shares issued under the Equity
Line.
Trading in our shares could be restricted because of
state securities “Blue Sky” laws that prohibit trading absent
compliance with individual state laws.
Trading and transfer of our Common Stock may be restricted under
certain securities laws promulgated by various states and foreign
jurisdictions, commonly referred to as Blue Sky laws. Individual
state Blue Sky laws could make it difficult or impossible to sell
our common stock in those states. Many states require that an
issuer’s securities be registered in their state, or appropriately
exempted from registration, before the securities can trade in that
state. We have no immediate plans to register our securities in any
state. Absent compliance with such laws, our Common Stock may not
be traded in such jurisdictions. Whether stockholders may trade
their shares in a particular state is subject to various rules and
regulations of that state.
We do not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable
future, which could make our stock less attractive to potential
investors.
We have not declared any dividends since inception of the Company.
Any future payment of cash dividends will be at the discretion of
our Board of Directors after considering many factors, including
operating results, financial condition and capital requirements. We
plan to retain any future earnings and other cash resources for
operation and business development and do not intend to declare or
pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Corporations that
pay dividends may be viewed as a better investment than
corporations that do not.
Trading in our common stock is subject to certain
“penny stock” regulation, which could have a negative effect on the
price of our shares in the marketplace.
Trading the Company’s common stock is subject to certain
provisions, commonly referred to as “penny stock” rules,
promulgated under the Exchange Act. A penny stock is generally
defined as any non-exchange listed equity security that has a
market price less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain
exceptions. These rules require additional disclosure by
broker-dealers in connection with any trades involving a penny
stock. The rules also impose various sales practice requirements on
broker-dealers who sell penny stocks to persons other than
established customers and accredited investors, generally
institutions. These sales practice requirements include a
broker-dealer to:
|
●
|
Make a special written suitability determination for a purchaser of
penny stocks;
|
|
●
|
receive the purchaser’s prior written consent to execute the trade;
and
|
|
●
|
deliver to a prospective purchaser of a penny stock, prior to the
first transaction, a risk disclosure document relating to the penny
stock market.
|
Consequently, penny stock rules may restrict the ability of
broker-dealers to trade and/or maintain a market in our Common
Stock, which could affect the ability of stockholders to sell their
shares. These requirements may be considered cumbersome by
broker-dealers and could impact their willingness to trade or make
a market in our Common Stock, which could severely limit the market
price and liquidity of our shares. Also, many prospective investors
may not want to get involved with these additional administrative
requirements, which could have a material adverse effect on the
price and trading of our shares.
Future sales or the potential sale of a substantial
number of shares of our common stock could cause our market value
to decline.
As of the date of this Prospectus, we have 1,549,420,305 shares of
Common Stock outstanding. Of these outstanding shares,
approximately 69,355,435 shares are considered restricted
securities and may be sold only pursuant to a registration
statement, or the availability of an appropriate exemption from
registration, such as Rule 144. Additionally, up to a total of
200,000,000 Put Shares that are the subject of this Prospectus can
be purchased by the Selling Stockholder under the Equity Line, with
such shares being freely tradable without restriction upon issuance
and be immediately sold into the market. Sales of a substantial
number of these restricted shares and Put Shares in the public
markets, or the perception that these sales may occur, could cause
the market price of our Common Stock to decline and materially
impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional
equity securities.
In the event we issue additional Common Stock in the
future, current stockholders could suffer immediate and significant
dilution, which could have a negative effect on the value of their
shares.
We are authorized to issue 1,890,000,000 shares of Common Stock, of
which 340,155,242 shares are unissued. Also, an additional total of
200,000,000 Put Shares may be issued pursuant the Equity Line to
which this Prospectus relates. Our Board of Directors (the “Board”)
has broad discretion for future issuances of Common Stock, which
may be issued for cash, property, services rendered or to be
rendered, or for several other reasons. We could also issue shares
to make it more difficult, or to discourage an attempt to obtain
control of the Company by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy
contest, or otherwise. For example, if in the due exercise of its
fiduciary obligations the Board determines that a takeover proposal
was not in the Company’s best interests, unissued shares could be
issued by the board without stockholder approval. This might
prevent, or render more difficult or costly, completion of an
expected takeover transaction.
Other than the Put Shares issuable pursuant to the Equity Line, we
do not presently contemplate additional issuances of significant
amounts of Common Stock in the immediate future, except to raise
addition capital. We presently do not have an agreement or
understanding to sell additional shares. Our Board has authority,
without action or vote of our stockholders, to issue all or part of
the authorized but unissued shares. Any future issuance of shares
will dilute the percentage ownership of existing stockholders and
likely dilute the book value of the Common Stock, which could cause
the price of our shares to decline and investors in our shares to
lose all or a portion of their investment.
USE OF PROCEEDS
We will not receive any proceeds from the resale of shares offered
by the Selling Stockholder hereby. Proceeds from sales of offered
shares will be paid to Selling Stockholder. We have agreed to bear
expenses relating to the registration of the Put Shares for the
Selling Stockholder that are the subject of this Prospectus. The
Selling Stockholder will be obligated to pay all underwriting
discounts, selling commissions and expenses incurred by it for
brokerage, accounting, tax or legal services or any other expenses
incurred by the Selling Stockholder in connection with the sale of
shares.
We will receive proceeds from the sale of shares to Jefferson
Street Capital pursuant to our exercise of the put right granted to
us by the Equity Line. Any such proceeds will be used for general
corporate purposes, which may include (i) acquisition of projects,
(ii) refinancing or repayment of indebtedness, (iii) capital
expenditures and working capital, and (iv) investing in equipment
and property development.

DILUTION
We are not immediately selling any of the shares of our Common
Stock in this Offering. All shares sold in this Offering will be
issued to the Selling Stockholder pursuant to the terms of the
Equity Financing Agreement. If all of the shares in this Prospectus
are issued, we will have an additional 200,000,000 shares of Common
Stock issued and outstanding in addition to a total of shares
outstanding 1,549,420,305 as of May 31, 2022. The Company may sell
shares to Jefferson Street Capital at a price equal to 88% of the
lesser of the (i) market price when the purchase price is
calculated per the Agreement. Each put notice shall be (i) in
a minimum amount not less than $10,000, and (ii) a maximum amount
up to the lesser of (a) $200,000, or (b) 200% of the Average Daily
Trading Value. To the extent that the shares are sold at a discount
of 12% to the fair market value, the use of the Equity Line could
result in the dilution of the value of the outstanding common
shares or in the depression of the stock price.

As of April 19, 2022, there were approximately 147 stockholders of
record of our Common Stock, which does not consider those
stockholders whose certificates are held in the name of
broker-dealers or other nominee accounts.
The ability of individual stockholders to trade their shares in a
particular state may be subject to various rules and regulations of
that state. Many states require that an issuer’s securities be
registered in their state or appropriately exempted from
registration before the securities are permitted to trade in that
state. Presently, we have no plans to register our securities in
any state.
Penny Stock Rule
It is unlikely that our securities will be listed on any national
or regional exchange or The NASDAQ Stock Market in the foreseeable
future. Therefore, our shares will be subject to the provisions of
Section 15(g) and Rule 15g-9 of the Exchange Act, commonly referred
to as the “penny stock” rule. Section 15(g) sets forth certain
requirements for broker-dealer transactions in penny stocks and
Rule 15g-9(d)(1) incorporates the definition of penny stock as that
used in Rule 3a51-1 of the Exchange Act.
The SEC generally defines a penny stock to be any equity security
that has a market price less than $5.00 per share, subject to
certain exceptions. Rule 3a51-1 provides that any equity security
is a penny stock unless that security is:
|
●
|
Registered and traded on a national securities exchange meeting
specified criteria set by the SEC;
|
|
●
|
authorized for quotation on the NASDAQ Stock Market;
|
|
●
|
issued by a registered investment company;
|
|
●
|
excluded from the definition based on price (at least $5.00 per
share) or the issuer’s net tangible assets; or
|
|
●
|
exempted from the definition by the SEC.
|
Broker-dealers who sell penny stocks to persons other than
established customers and accredited investors, are subject to
additional sales practice requirements. An accredited investor is
generally defined as a person with assets more than $1,000,000,
excluding their principal residence, or annual income exceeding
$200,000, or $300,000 together with their spouse.
For transactions covered by these rules, broker-dealers must make a
special suitability determination for the purchase of such
securities and receive the purchaser’s written consent to the
transaction prior to the purchase. Additionally, the rules require
the delivery by the broker-dealer to the client, prior to the first
transaction, of a risk disclosure document relating to the penny
stock market. A broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions
payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative
and current quotations for the securities. Finally, monthly
statements must be sent to clients disclosing recent price
information for the penny stocks held in the account and
information on the limited market in penny stocks.
These requirements may be considered cumbersome by broker-dealers
and impact the willingness of a broker-dealer to trade and/or make
a market in our shares, which could affect the value at which our
shares trade. Classification of the shares as penny stocks may
affect the ability of stockholders to sell their shares and
increases the risk of an investment in our shares.
Rule 144
A total of 69,355,435 shares of our Common Stock presently
outstanding and not being registered for resale under this
Prospectus, are deemed to be “restricted securities” as defined by
Rule 144 promulgated by the Securities Act. Rule 144 is the common
means for a stockholder to resell restricted securities and for
affiliates, to sell their securities, either restricted or
non-restricted control shares. In general, under Rule 144 as
currently in effect, a person (or persons whose shares are required
to be aggregated), including a person who may be deemed an
“affiliate” of a company filing reports under the Exchange Act, who
has beneficially owned restricted securities for at least six
months may sell, within any three-month period, a number of shares
that does not exceed the greater of:
|
●
|
1% of the then-outstanding shares of Common Stock; or
|
|
●
|
the average weekly trading volume of the common stock listed on a
national securities exchange during the four calendar weeks
preceding the date on which notice of such sale was filed under
Rule 144.
|
Sales under Rule 144 are also subject to certain requirements as to
the manner of sale, filing appropriate notice, and availability of
current public information about the issuer. A stockholder of a
reporting company who is not deemed to have been an affiliate at
any time during the 90 days preceding a sale by such person, and
who has held their shares for more than six months, may make
unlimited resales under Rule 144, provided only that the
issuer has available current public information about itself. A
person who has not been an affiliate during the 90 days preceding a
sale, and who has beneficially owned the restricted shares for at
least one year, is entitled to sell such shares under Rule 144
without regard to any of the restrictions described above.
After a one-year holding period, a non-affiliate may make unlimited
sales with no other requirements or limitations.
We cannot estimate the number of shares of Common Stock that our
existing stockholders will elect to sell under Rule 144. Also, we
cannot predict the effect any future sales under Rule 144 may have
on the market price of our Common Stock, but such sales may have a
substantial depressing effect on such market price.
DIVIDEND POLICY
We have never declared cash dividends on our Common Stock, nor do
we anticipate paying any dividends on our Common Stock in the
foreseeable future.
DETERMINATION OF OFFERING
PRICES
The actual offering price of the Selling Stockholder of shares
covered by this Prospectus, will be determined by prevailing market
prices at the time of sale, by private transactions negotiated by
the Selling Stockholder, or otherwise described in the section
title “Plan of Distribution.” The quoted or offering price of our
shares of our Common Stock does not necessarily bear any
relationship to our book value, assets, past operating results,
financial condition or any other established criteria of value.
SELLING STOCKHOLDER
This Prospectus relates to the possible resale from time-to-time by
the Selling Stockholder, Jefferson Street Capital, LLC, of any or
all the Common Stock that has been or may be issued by us to the
Selling Stockholder under the Equity Line. We are registering the
Common Stock pursuant to the provisions of the Equity Financing
Agreement and Registration Rights Agreement in order to permit the
Selling Stockholder to offer the shares for resale from
time-to-time. See the discussion below under the heading
“Equity Financing Agreement with Jefferson Street Capital,
LLC”.
The table below presents information regarding the Selling
Stockholder and the Common Stock that it may offer from
time-to-time pursuant to this Prospectus. This table is prepared
based on information supplied to us by the Selling Stockholder, and
reflects information as of April 19, 2022. The number of shares in
the column “Maximum Shares to be Offered by this Prospectus”
represents all of the Common Stock that the Selling Stockholder may
offer under this Prospectus. The Selling Stockholder may sell some,
all or none of its shares offered by this Prospectus. We do not
know how long the Selling Stockholder will hold the shares before
selling them, and we currently have no agreements, arrangements, or
understandings with the Selling Stockholder regarding the sale of
any of the shares.
Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3(d)
promulgated by the SEC under the Exchange Act, and includes Common
Stock with respect to which the Selling Stockholder has voting and
investment power. With respect to the Equity Line with the Selling
Stockholder, because the purchase price of the Common Stock
issuable under the Equity Financing Agreement is determined on each
settlement date, the number of shares that may actually be sold by
us under the Equity Financing Agreement may be fewer than the
number of shares being offered by this Prospectus. The fourth
column assumes the sale of all shares offered by the Selling
Stockholder pursuant to this Prospectus.

The Selling Stockholder’s principal business is that of a private
investment firm. We have been advised that the Selling Stockholder
is not an independent broker-dealer, and that neither the Selling
Stockholder nor any of its affiliates, is an affiliate or an
associated person of any independent broker-dealer. We have been
further advised that Seth Ahdoot of the Selling Stockholder, has
sole voting and dispositive powers with respect to the Common Stock
being Registered for sale by the Selling Stockholder.

None of the shares beneficially owned by Selling Stockholder prior
the Company entering into the Equity Line are being registered as a
part of the Offering. In accordance with Rule 13d-3(d) under the
Exchange Act, we have excluded from the number of shares
beneficially owned prior to the Offering, all of the shares that
the Selling Stockholder may be required to purchase under the
Equity Financing Agreement. This is because the issuance of such
shares is solely at our discretion and is subject to certain
conditions, the satisfaction of all of which are outside of the
Selling Stockholder’s control, including, but not limited to, the
Registration Statement of which this Prospectus is a part, becoming
and remaining effective. Furthermore, the maximum dollar value of
each put of common stock to the Selling Stockholder under the
Equity Financing Agreement is subject to certain agreed upon
threshold limitations set forth therein. Also, under the terms of
the Equity Financing Agreement, we may not issue shares of our
Common Stock to the Selling Stockholder to the extent that the
Selling Stockholder or any of its affiliates would, at any time,
beneficially own more than 4.99% of our outstanding common
stock.

Equity Financing Agreement with Jefferson Street Capital,
LLC
On April 3, 2022, we executed an Equity Financing Agreement with
Jefferson Street Capital, LLC, the Selling Stockholder, which was
finalized and effected on April 3, 2022 (the “Equity
Line”). Under the Equity Line, we have the right, but
not the obligation, to sell to Jefferson Street Capital, and
Jefferson Street Capital is committed to purchase, on an
unconditional basis, shares of our common stock (the
“Put Shares”) at an aggregate price of up
to $5,000,000 (the “Maximum Commitment
Amount”) for a period of up to three (3) years. The
term of the Equity Financing Agreement commenced on April 3, 2022
and will end on the earlier of (i) the date on which the Selling
Stockholder has purchased Put Shares pursuant to the Equity
Financing Agreement equal to the Maximum Commitment Amount, (ii)
April 3, 2025, or (iii) written notice of termination by the
Company.
The Equity Line provides the Company with a $5,000,000 line of
credit to be used by us for general corporate purposes. Under the
Equity Financing Agreement, we have the right, from time-to-time at
our discretion, to deliver to Jefferson Street Capital a “put
notice” stating the specified number of Put Shares and purchase
price we intend to sell to Jefferson Street Capital, that it is
obligated to purchase. The Company’s right to deliver a put notice
commences on the date a registration statement registering the Put
Shares becomes effective. Upon delivery of a put notice, the
Company must deliver the Put Shares requested as Deposit Withdrawal
at Custodian (DWAC) shares to the Selling Stockholder within two
trading days. In connection with the transactions contemplated by
the Equity Financing Agreement, the Company is required to register
the Put Shares with the SEC.
The amount of proceeds the Company receives pursuant to each put
notice is determined by multiplying the number of Put Shares
requested, by the applicable purchase price. The purchase price for
each put notice shall be equal to 88% of the lesser of the (i)
“market price,” defined as the lowest traded price per share for
any trading day during the fifteen (15) trading days immediately
preceding delivery of the put notice. Within four trading
days the Jefferson Street Capital will deliver the total proceeds
to the company via wire transfer.
Each put notice shall be (i) in a minimum amount not less than
$10,000, and (ii) a maximum amount up to the lesser of (a)
$200,000, or (b) 200% of the Average Daily Trading Value. Average
Daily Trading Value is defined as the average trading volume of our
common stock in the fifteen (15) trading days immediately preceding
delivery of the respective put notice (the “pricing
period”), multiplied by the lowest traded price of
the of our shares during the pricing period. We may not deliver a
new put notice until ten trading days after the clearing of the
prior put notice. Because of these limitations, it is possible that
over the term of the Equity line, the Company may not have the
ability to fully draw the entire $5,000,000 credit line.
In order to deliver a put notice, certain conditions set forth in
the Equity Financing Agreement must be met. In addition, the
Company is prohibited from delivering a put notice (i) if the
purchase of the Put Shares by the Selling Stockholder pursuant to
such put notice would, when aggregated with all other shares
previously purchased under the Equity Line, exceed the Maximum
Commitment Amount; or (ii) if the purchase of the Put Shares
pursuant to the put notice would, when aggregated with all other
Company common stock then owned by the Selling Stockholder, result
in the Selling Stockholder beneficially owning more than 4.99% of
the then issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s Common
Stock.
Based upon the trading price of our Common Stock as of April 19,
2022, we would have issued an aggregate of 833,000,000 shares of
Common Stock under the Equity Line if the entire $5,000,000 amount
of potential shares issuable to Jefferson Street Capital had been
drawn. Such shares would represent approximately 35% of our
outstanding Common Stock as of April 19, 2022 resulting in
significant ownership dilution to our existing Common
stockholders.
As a term of the Equity Financing Agreement, we entered into a
Registration Rights Agreement with Jefferson Street Capital,
whereby we agreed to register for resale by the Selling Stockholder
the shares of Common Stock purchased pursuant to the Equity
Financing Agreement. Accordingly, we filed a registration statement
with the SEC on Form S-1, of which this Prospectus is a part. We
have also agreed to use our reasonable best efforts to keep the
registration statement effective until the earlier of (i) the date
the Selling Stockholder may sell all of the Put shares without
restriction pursuant to Rule 144, and (ii) the date on which the
Selling Stockholder shall have sold all of the Put Shares covered
by the registration statement.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
Commencing the date of this Prospectus, Jefferson Street Capital,
the Selling Stockholder identified herein, may offer and sell up to
an aggregate of 200,000,000 shares of our Common Stock. The Selling
Stockholder, including any of its pledgees, assignees and
successors-in-interest may, from time-to-time, offer and sell any
or all of their shares covered hereby, that were acquired under the
Equity Line. Sales may occur on the OTC Markets Pink Current
Information Tier or any other stock exchange, market or trading
facility on which the securities are traded, or in private
transactions. These sales may be at the prevailing market price or
related to the then current market price, fixed prices or
negotiated prices.
The Selling Stockholder may use any one or more of the following
methods when selling securities:
|
●
|
ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the
broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
|
|
●
|
block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the
securities as agent, but may position and resell a portion of the
block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
|
|
●
|
purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the
broker-dealer for its account;
|
|
●
|
an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the
applicable exchange;
|
|
●
|
privately negotiated transactions;
|
|
●
|
transactions through broker-dealers that agree with the Selling
Stockholder to sell a specified number of such securities at a
stipulated price per security;
|
|
●
|
through writings or settlements of options or other hedging
transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;
|
|
●
|
combinations of any such methods of sale; or
|
Broker-dealers engaged by the Selling Stockholder may arrange for
other broker-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may
receive commissions or discounts from the Selling Stockholder (or,
if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of securities,
from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set
forth in a supplement to this Prospectus, in the case of an agency
transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in
compliance with FINRA Rule 2121; which also applies in the case of
a principal transaction a markup or markdown.
The Selling Stockholder and any broker-dealers or agents that are
involved in selling the securities are deemed to be “underwriters”
within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such
sales. In such event, any commissions received by such
broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the
securities purchased by them, may be deemed to be underwriting
commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. The Selling
Stockholder has informed the Company that it does not have any
written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly,
with any person to distribute the securities.
The Company is required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred
by the Company incident to the registration of the securities. The
Company has agreed to indemnify the Selling Stockholder against
certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including
liabilities under the Securities Act.
Because the Selling Stockholder may be deemed to be an underwriter
within the meaning of the Securities Act, it will be subject to the
prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act including
Rule 172 thereunder. The Selling Stockholder has advised us that
there is no underwriter or coordinating broker acting in connection
with the proposed sale of the resale securities by the Selling
Stockholder.
We have agreed to keep this Prospectus effective until the earlier
of (i) the date on which the securities may be resold by the
Selling Stockholder without registration and without regard to any
volume or manner-of-sale limitations by reason of Rule 144, without
the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the
current public information under Rule 144 under the Securities Act
or any other rule of similar effect or (ii) the sale of all of the
securities pursuant to this Prospectus or Rule 144 under the
Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect. The resale
securities will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers
or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In
addition, in certain states, the resale securities covered hereby
may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for
sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration
or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.
Applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person
engaged in the distribution of the resale securities may not
simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to
the Common Stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined
in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution. In
addition, the Selling Stockholder will be subject to applicable
provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations
thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of
purchases and sales of securities of the Common Stock by the
Selling Stockholder or any other person. We will make copies of
this Prospectus available to the Selling Stockholder and have
informed it of the need to deliver a copy of this Prospectus to
each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale (including by
compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act.
To the best of our knowledge, the Selling Stockholder is not a
broker-dealer or an affiliate of a broker-dealer.
SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE
SALE
We cannot predict the effect, if any, that market sales of our
Common Stock, or the availability of shares of our Common Stock for
sale, will have on the prevailing market price of our shares from
time-to-time. Future sales of our common stock in the public
market, or the availability of such shares for sale in the public
market, could adversely affect market prices prevailing from
time-to-time. The availability for sale of a substantial number of
shares of our Common Stock acquired through the exercise of
outstanding convertible instruments could materially adversely
affect the market price of our shares. In addition, sales of our
Common Stock in the public market after the applicable restrictions
lapse, as described below, or the perception that those sales may
occur, could cause the prevailing market price to decrease or to be
lower than it might be in the absence of those sales or
perceptions.
Sale of Restricted Shares
As of April 19, 2022 there were 1,549,420,305 shares of our Common
Stock outstanding. The 200,000,000 shares of Common Stock being
offered by this Prospectus, less the shares already sold, will be
freely tradable, other than by “affiliates,” as defined in Rule
144(a) under the Securities Act, without restriction or
registration under the Securities Act. In addition, 69,355,435
outstanding shares of Common Stock that were issued by us in
private transactions are, or will be, eligible in the future for
public sale if registered under the Securities Act or sold in
accordance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act. These remaining
shares are “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144
under the Securities Act.
Rule 144
In general, under Rule 144, as currently in effect, a person (or
persons whose shares are required to be aggregated), including a
person who may be deemed an “affiliate” of a company, who has
beneficially owned restricted securities for at least six months
may sell, within any three-month period, a number of shares that
does not exceed the greater of: (1) 1% of the then-outstanding
shares of common stock, or (2) if and when the common stock is
listed on a national securities exchange, the average weekly
trading volume of the common stock during the four calendar weeks
preceding the date on which notice of such sale was filed under
Rule 144. Sales under Rule 144 are also subject to certain
requirements as to the manner of sale, notice, and availability of
current public information about our Company. A person who is not
deemed to have been an affiliate of us at any time during the 90
days preceding a sale by such person, and who has beneficially
owned the restricted shares for at least one year, is entitled to
sell such shares under Rule 144 without regard to any of the
restrictions described above.
We cannot estimate the number of shares of our Common Stock that
our existing stockholders will elect to sell under Rule 144.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
From time-to-time, we may be involved in various claims, lawsuits,
and disputes with third parties incidental to the normal operations
of the business. In accordance with the settlement agreement
(settling claims for breach of contract and distribution
responsibilities arising from the distribution agreement between
the parties) executed between Nimbo Tracking LLC (Plaintiff) and
Sky Force Technologies Inc., and James Kwon (Defendants) on May 21,
2021 settlement was reached between the parties under non-disclosed
terms which were deemed non-material to the Company.

Overview
During fiscal-year 2021, the Company faced significant challenges
from the pandemic and supply chain issues within the automotive
industry. Despite these challenges IGEN continued to make progress
with creating new opportunities and products in 2021. The Company
moved into new offices located in Lake Elsinore in anticipation of
significant growth post 2021 challenges. Creating new channels and
partnerships in 2021 were key initiatives to secure longer term
market share with both our consumer and commercial customers.
Product and software innovation was our priority with the recent
launch of our Next-Generation Platform and Medallion GPS created
for Light-Commercial Fleets, both developed with IGEN’s patented
Driver Signature and Behavior algorithms.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND SIGNIFICANT JUDGMENTS AND
ESTIMATES
Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition
and results of operations are based on our consolidated financial
statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The
preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us
to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amount of
assets, liabilities, and expenses and the disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial
statements. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and
judgments. We base our estimates on historical experience, known
trends and events, and various other factors that are believed to
be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form
the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets
and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.
Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under
different assumptions or conditions.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are recognized and carried at the original
invoice amount less an allowance for expected uncollectible
amounts. Inherent in the assessment of the allowance for doubtful
accounts are certain judgments and estimates including, among
others, the customer’s willingness or ability to pay, the Company’s
compliance with customer invoicing requirements, the effect of
general economic conditions and the ongoing relationship with the
customer. Accounts with outstanding balances longer than the
payment terms are considered past due. We do not charge interest on
past due balances. The Company writes off trade receivables when
all reasonable collection efforts have been exhausted. Bad debt
expense is reflected as a component of general and administrative
expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the acquisition price over the
fair value of identifiable net assets acquired. Goodwill is
allocated at the date of the business combination. Goodwill is not
amortized, but is tested for impairment annually on December 31 of
each year or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances
indicate the asset may be impaired. These events and circumstances
may include a significant change in legal factors or in the
business climate, a significant decline in the Company’s share
price, an adverse action of assessment by a regulator,
unanticipated competition, a loss of key personnel, significant
disposal activity and the testing of recoverability for a
significant asset group.
Goodwill impairment is measured as the amount by which a reporting
unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value.
The Company has only one reporting unit. Therefore, all of the
Company’s goodwill relates to that reporting unit, and at December
31, 2021 and 2020, the carrying value for that reporting unit is
negative.
Fair Value Measurements
In accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”)
Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, “Fair Value
Measurements and Disclosures,” the Company is to maximize the use
of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs
when measuring fair value. ASC 820 establishes a fair value
hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence
surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial
instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is
based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the
fair value measurement. ASC 820 prioritizes the inputs into three
levels that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1
Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted
prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2
Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs
other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or
liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities
in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or
liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent
transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in
which significant inputs are observable or can be derived
principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.
Level 3
Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are
unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are
significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or
liabilities.
The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts and other
receivables, restricted cash, and accounts payable and accrued
liabilities, approximate their carrying values due to the immediate
or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. Foreign
currency transactions are primarily undertaken in Canadian dollars.
The fair value of cash is determined based on “Level 1” inputs and
the fair value of derivative liabilities is determined based on
“Level 3” inputs. The recorded values of notes payable, approximate
their current fair values because of their nature and respective
maturity dates or durations. The financial risk is the risk to the
Company’s operations that arise from fluctuations in foreign
exchange rates and the degree of volatility to these rates.
Currently, the Company does not use derivative instruments to
reduce its exposure to foreign currency risk. Financial instruments
that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit
risk consists of cash. The Company places its cash and cash
equivalents in what it believes to be credit-worthy financial
institutions.
Revenue Recognition and Deferred
Revenue
We recognize revenue in accordance with ASC 606, “Revenue from
Contracts with Customers”, using the five-step model, including (1)
identify the contract with the customer, (2) identify the
performance obligations in the contract, (3) determine the
transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to the
performance obligations in the contract, and (5) recognize revenue
in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Title and risk of loss generally pass
to our customers upon delivery, as we have insurance for lost
shipments. In limited circumstances where either title or risk of
loss pass upon destination or acceptance or when collection is not
reasonably assured, we defer revenue recognition until such events
occur. We derive substantially all our revenues from the sale of
products and services combined into one performance obligation.
Product revenue includes the shipment of product according to the
agreement with our customers. Service revenue include vehicle
tracking services and customer support (technical support),
installations and consulting. A contract usually includes both
product and services. For these contracts, the Company accounts for
individual performance obligations separately if they are distinct.
Performance obligations include, but are not limited to, pass-thru
harnesses and vehicle tracking services. Almost all of our revenues
are derived from customers located in United States of America in
the auto industry. The transaction price is allocated to the
separate performance obligations on a relative standalone selling
price basis. Standalone selling prices are typically estimated
based on observable transactions when these services are not sold
on a standalone basis. At contract inception, an assessment of the
goods and services promised in the contracts with customers is
performed and a performance obligation is identified for each
distinct promise to transfer to the customer a good or service (or
bundle of goods or services). To identify the performance
obligations, the Company considers all of the goods or services
promised in the contract regardless of whether they are explicitly
stated or are implied by customary business practices. Revenue is
recognized when our performance obligation has been met. The
Company considers control to have transferred upon delivery because
the Company has a present right to payment at that time, the
Company has transferred use of the asset, and the customer is able
to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the remaining
benefits from, the asset. For arrangements under which the Company
provides vehicle tracking services, the Company satisfies its
performance obligations as those services are performed whereby the
customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of such
services under the agreement. Revenues are recognized net of any
taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to
governmental authorities.
The Company provides product warranties with varying lengths of
time and terms. The product warranties are considered to be
assurance-type in nature and do not cover anything beyond ensuring
that the product is functioning as intended. Based on the guidance
in ASC 606, assurance-type warranties do not represent separate
performance obligations. The Company has historically experienced a
low rate of product returns under the warranty program.
Management assesses the business environment, customers’ financial
condition, historical collection experience, accounts receivable
aging, and customer disputes to determine whether collectability is
reasonably assured. If collectability is not reasonably assured at
the time of sale, the Company does not recognize revenue until
collection occurs.
Revenue relating to the sale of service fees on its vehicle
tracking and recovery services is recognized over the life of the
contact. The service renewal fees are offered in terms ranging from
12 to 36 months and are generally payable upon delivery of the
vehicle tracking devices or in full upon renewal.
Deferred revenues are recorded net of contract assets when cash
payments are received from customers in advance of the Company’s
performance. Contract assets represent the costs of the underlying
hardware to enable the Company to perform on its contracts with
customers and are amortized using the same method and term as
deferred revenues. Any revenue that has been deferred and is
expected to be recognized beyond one year is classified as deferred
revenue, net of current portion.
Financing Costs and Debt Discount
Financing costs and debt discounts are recorded net of notes
payable and convertible debentures in the consolidated balance
sheets. Amortization of financing costs and the debt discounts is
calculated using the effective interest method over the term of the
debt and is recorded as interest expense in the consolidated
statement of operations.

10-K for further discussion.
Capital Resources and Liquidity
Current Assets and Liabilities, Working
Capital
As of December 31, 2021, the Company had total current assets of
$174,366, an 113% increase from the end of 2020. This increase was
mostly due to a $92,349 increase in cash, accounts receivable, and
inventory, because of the timing of payments to Nimbo from its
customers and an increase in new sales contracts in Q4 2020.
The Company’s current liabilities as of December 31, 2021, were
$1,084,366, a 6% decrease over those reported at the end of the
2020. However, $65,715 (or 6%) of the Company’s current liabilities
were deferred revenues, net to be recognized in future periods. The
decrease in current liabilities was mostly due to a $252,339
decrease in accounts payable, accrued expenses, derivative
liability, and current portion of deferred revenues as of December
31, 2021.
IGEN ended 2021 with negative working capital of $910,000. Adequate
working capital remains a core requirement for growth and
profitability and to facilitate further acquisitions, and the
Company continues to work at improving its working capital position
through ongoing equity and debt financing and actively managing the
Company’s growth to achieve sustainable positive cash flow.
In 2021, the Company raised an additional $1,142,211 in financings
and converted $472,810 of preferred stock and convertible
debentures into shares of common stock. These transactions are
further disclosed in notes to the consolidated financial
statements.
Total Assets and Liabilities, Net
Assets
As of December 31, 2021, the Company’s total assets were $761,826,
a 30% increase over the prior year, due primarily to the increase
in current assets previously discussed and the new operating lease
asset. The majority of the Company’s assets remain $505,508 in
goodwill associated with the acquisition of Nimbo in 2014.
As of December 31, 2021, the Company’s total liabilities were
$1,371,494, which reflects $79,770 in long-term deferred revenue,
net in addition to the $1,084,366 in current liabilities previously
discussed. This long-term deferred revenue is the portion of
service contracts signed in previous years for which service, and
the associated revenue recognition, occurs beyond 2022. Total
liabilities decreased by 6% over the previous year, however 11%, or
$145,485 of the Company’s year-end total liabilities was deferred
revenue, net, compared with $138,812 of deferred revenue, net
reported at the end of 2020.
The above resulted in net assets as of December 31, 2021 being
($609,668) and an accumulated deficit of $19,076,522.
The Company is continuing its efforts to increase its asset base,
raise funds and improve cashflow to improve its working capital
position. As of the date these financial statements were issued,
the Company believes it has adequate working capital and projected
net revenues and cash flows to maintain existing operations for
approximately six months without requiring additional funding. The
Company’s business plan is predicated on raising further capital
for the purpose of further investment and acquisition of targeted
technologies and companies, to fund growth in these technologies
and companies, and to expand sales and distribution channels for
companies it currently owns or is invested. It is anticipated the
Company will continue to raise additional capital through private
placements or other means in the both the near and medium term.
The reader is cautioned that the Company’s belief in the
adequacy of its working capital, the continuation and growth of
future revenue, the ability of the Company to operate any stated
period without additional funding, and the ability to successfully
raise capital are forward looking statements for which actual
results may vary, to the extent that the company may need capital
earlier than anticipated and/or may not be able to raise additional
capital.
Results of Operations
Revenues and Net Loss
Revenues
For the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company had revenues of
$268,947, a 27% decrease over the revenues reported for same period
in 2020. Decrease in revenue was primarily due to the impact of
COVID-19 on demand for new vehicles at our customers’ franchise
dealerships. Several of our customers’ dealerships were closed as a
result of localized infections amongst their staff and sales
management.
Costs of goods sold for 2021 were $123,793, representing a decrease
of 54% year on year. These costs are primarily mobile hardware and
cellular carrier costs.
The resulting gross profit was $145,154, representing an increase

Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Capital Resources and Liquidity
Current Assets and Liabilities, Working
Capital
As of March 31, 2022, the Company had total current assets of
$254,061, an 46% increase from December 31, 2021. This decrease was
mostly due to a $117,812 increase in inventory.
The Company’s current liabilities as of March 31, 2022 were
$1,157,182, a 7% increase over those reported as of December 31,
2021. However, $66,846 (or 2%) of the Company’s current liabilities
were deferred revenues, net to be recognized in future periods. The
increase in current liabilities was mostly due to a $119,312
increase in the current portion of the notes payable and
convertible debentures.
As of March 31, 2022, IGEN had negative working capital of
$903,121. Adequate working capital remains a core requirement for
growth and profitability and to facilitate further acquisitions,
and the Company continues to work at improving its working capital
position through ongoing equity and debt financing and actively
managing the Company’s growth to achieve sustainable positive cash
flow.
During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company raised
approximately $308,000 in financings and converted approximately
$113,000 of preferred stock into shares of common stock. These
transactions are further disclosed in notes to the consolidated
financial statements.
Total Assets and Liabilities, Net
Assets
As of March 31, 2022, the Company’s total assets were $835,970, a
10% increase over December 31, 2021, due primarily to the increase
in current assets previously discussed. The majority of the
Company’s assets remain $505,508 in goodwill associated with the
acquisition of Nimbo in 2014.
As of March 31, 2022, the Company’s total liabilities were
$1,517,973, which reflects $74,870 in long-term deferred revenue,
net in addition to the $1,157,182 in current liabilities previously
discussed. This long-term deferred revenue is the portion of
service contracts signed in previous years for which service, and
the associated revenue recognition, occurs beyond March 31, 2023.
Total liabilities increased by 11% over the previous year, however
9%, or $141,716 of the Company’s year-end total liabilities was
deferred revenue, net, compared with $145,485 of deferred revenue,
net reported as of December 31, 2021.
The above resulted in net assets as of March 31, 2022 being
($794,387) and an accumulated deficit of $19,358,959.
The Company is continuing its efforts to increase its asset base,
raise funds and improve cashflow to improve its working capital
position. As of the date these financial statements were issued,
the Company believes it has adequate working capital and projected
net revenues and cash flows to maintain existing operations for
approximately six months without requiring additional funding. The
Company’s business plan is predicated on raising further capital
for the purpose of further investment and acquisition of targeted
technologies and companies, to fund growth in these technologies
and companies, and to expand sales and distribution channels for
companies it currently owns or is invested. It is anticipated the
Company will continue to raise additional capital through private
placements or other means in the both the near and medium term.
The reader is cautioned that the Company’s belief in the
adequacy of its working capital, the continuation and growth of
future revenue, the ability of the Company to operate any stated
period without additional funding, and the ability to successfully
raise capital are forward looking statements for which actual
results may vary, to the extent that the company may need capital
earlier than anticipated and/or may not be able to raise additional
capital.
Results of Operations
Revenues and Net Loss for the Three Months Ended March
31, 2022
Revenues
For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company had revenues
of $46,260, a 42% decrease over the revenues reported for same
period in 2021. Decrease in revenue was primarily due to
supply-chain issues causing significant reduction in vehicle
inventory levels at franchise dealerships.
Costs of goods sold for the three months ended March 31, 2022 were
$14,495, representing a decrease of 77% compared to the same period
in 2021. These costs are primarily mobile hardware and cellular
carrier costs.
The resulting gross profit percentage was 69% for the three months
ended March 31, 2022 compared to 19% for the three months ended
March 31, 2021, representing a decrease of 20% period on
period.
Though the Company experienced a decrease revenues, there was a
significant increase in gross profit which reflects our ongoing
process of improving order fulfillment strategies as well as
product and service pricing models across all five product
brands.
Expenses
Expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2022, totaled
$215,809, an decrease of $461,607, or 53%, from total expenses
reported for the same period in 2021. Excluding stock-based
compensation expense to our directors comprised of Series B Super
Voting Preferred Stock, operational expenses increased by 18% year
on year as the result of the hiring of new sales staff.
For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company had a net
loss of $186,107 (or ($0.00) per basic and diluted share) compared
with a net loss of $352,548 (or ($0.01) per basic and diluted
share) for the same period in 2021.
The Company will continue to invest in personnel, channels, and
product development in order to drive revenue growth and increase
gross profits sufficient to enable the Company to achieve
profitability.
Cash Flows and Cash Position
For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company saw a net

$303,366, an increase of 44% from the $210,286 net cash used for
the same period in 2021. This was offset by net financings of
$307,500 raised via private placements. Cash as of March 31, 2022
was $35,380.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About
Market Risk.
As a smaller reporting company, the Company is not required to
provide the information required by this item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Disclosure Controls and
Procedures
The Company carried out an evaluation, with the participation of
all the Company’s officers, of the effectiveness of the Company’s
disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2022. The
conclusions of the Company’s principal officers was that the
controls and procedures in place were not effective such that, the
information required to be disclosed in our exchange and commission
reports was a) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within
the time periods specified in the appropriate exchange and
commission rules and forms, and b) accumulated and communicated to
our management, including our chief executive offer and chief
operating officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions
regarding required disclosure.
Internal Control over
Financial Reporting
As of March 31, 2022, management assessed the effectiveness of our
internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s management
is responsible for establishing and maintain adequate internal
control over financial reporting for the Company. Internal control
over financial reporting is a set of processes designed by or under
the supervision of the Company’s CEO, COO and CFO (or executives
performing equivalent functions) to provide reasonable assurance
regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the
preparation of financial statements for external purposes in
accordance with GAAP and includes those policies and procedures
that:
·
|
pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail
accurately and fairly reflect our transactions and dispositions of
our assets;
|
|
|
·
|
provide reasonable assurance our transactions are recorded as
necessary to permit preparation of our financial statements in
accordance with GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures are being
made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and
directors;
|
|
|
·
|
provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely
detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our
assets that could have a material effect on the financial
statements.
|
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over
financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.
Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can
provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their control
objectives. In evaluating the effectiveness of our internal control
over financial reporting, our management used the criteria set
forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission (COSO) in Internal Control – Integrated
Framework (2013). Based on that evaluation, they concluded
that during the period covered by this report, though there are
weaknesses in the Company’s internal controls, given the current
size of the organization, such internal controls and procedures as
were in place were adequately effective to detect the inappropriate
application of US GAAP. We did not identify any material
weaknesses.

Description of Products and Services
The Company’s principal business is the development and marketing
of software services for the automotive and fleet management
industry. The Company works with T-Mobile and its distribution
partners to provide direct and secure access to information on
vehicle assets and driver performance. The software services are
based on the AWS Cloud Infrastructure delivered to customers over
the wireless network and accessed from consumer mobile or desktop
devices. The software services are marketed through automotive
dealers, financial institutions, and government channels as IGEN
commercial and consumer brands: Nimbo Tracking, CU Trak, and
Medallion GPS.
The Company’s most recent NextGen Platform is built on the Amazon’s
Web Service (AWS) infrastructure and based on coding methodology
that leverages Facebook and Google design techniques to present a
seamless user interface regardless of access methods including
smartphones, tablets, desktops, and third party application
environments. The AWS infrastructure offers reliability, security,
and scalability to support millions of users or assets and an
Application Programming Interface (API) friendly environment that
adapts to a broad range of data sources to support the changing
needs of the consumer and their families. The NextGen Platform is
optimized to serve a broad range of consumer markets including
online purchases and renewals.
The Digital Telematics Signature (DTC) is IGEN’s patented
proprietary algorithm for measuring driver behavior for both
commercial and consumer markets regardless of the data sources.
Whether driving in high-density traffic or at high speeds over the
expressway, the data is normalized across a relatively large sample
to create a consistent and accurate driver score based on actuarial
metrics. With programmable weighting of driving events such as
speed, sudden-braking, harsh-turns, traffic flow, and vehicle
profiling, a “DTC” or weighted score is created over an extended
period-of-time.
Marketing and Sales
The Company’s product and services are sold primarily through
Master Distributors and Sales Agents, which include T-Mobile’s
Master Agent and SMB sales channels, Michigan Credit Union League
Service Corporation, and County Executive of Americas. Marketing
initiatives are jointly developed with each channel partner based
on the anticipated needs and drivers for each market. The Company
is working with T-Mobile’s Ecommerce initiatives in offering
product and services direct to businesses.
Our Business Strategy
The Company’s strategy is to achieve market leadership of its
target markets through product and service innovation, cost
efficiency, and quality customer service.
Employees
Company operates with less than 10 full time staff and works with
third-party contractors for product and infrastructure development,
legal, finance, and hardware sourcing.
Competition
Competition varies across the consumer automotive and light-fleet
industry. Spireon a privately held company offers similar services
to automotive dealerships but holds no patents in managing driver
behavior. There are many fleet service providers offering a range
of services but with much higher cost structures, especially when
offering solutions to smaller and lighter commercial fleets. The
Company’s Medallion GPS PRO solution was development for a specific
segment of the commercial fleet industry which presently has far
fewer competitors.
Research and Development
The Company’s research and development is managed internally but
executed through third-party developers. The IoT industry is a
complex eco-system of technologies requiring a broad range of
technical skills in both hardware and software development.
Contracting subject matter experts on a project basis has proven to
be cost efficient and effective.
Intellectual Property
As a general practice, we will rely upon patent, copyright,
trademark and trade secret laws to protect and maintain our
proprietary rights for our products. There are no inherent factors
or circumstances associated with this industry, or any of the
products or services that we expect to be providing that would give
rise to any patent, trademark or license infringements or
violations. We have not entered into any franchise agreements or
other contracts that have given, or could give rise to obligations
or concessions. Our web domain and IP address as well as Company
information will be protected by our domain host.
Strategic Relationships
The Company places great value in strategic relationships as the
IoT Industry evolves across many industries as part of the
development of 5G wireless technologies. The Company has
development strategic relationships with its primary wireless
carrier T-Mobile, its hardware supplier Positioning Universal Inc.,
the Michigan Credit Union League Service Corporation, and County
Executives of America.
PLAN OF OPERATION
Facilities
The Company’s principal corporate offices are located at 31772
Casino Drive, Suite C, Lake Elsinore, CA 92530, USA and our
telephone number is (855-912-5378). Monthly lease expense is

The CEO, Neil Chan who is also a director of the Company earned a

granted 825,000 stock options, all of which vested in 2013, and

There are currently no long term incentive plans or pension plans
for directors or officers of the Company.
The Company does provide indemnity insurance coverage for directors
and officers of the Company.
Compensation Committee
Interlocks and Insider Participation
The Company has no compensation committee. The Board of Directors
as a whole acts in the capacity of a compensation committee. All
executive officers of the Company are also directors of the Company
and as such were and are able to vote on matters of compensation.
Though the Company is not legally obligated to establish a
compensation committee, we may do so when deemed advisable by the
board.
Compensation Committee
Report
As a smaller reporting company, the Company is not required to
report the Compensation Discussion and Analysis required by Item
402(b) of Regulation S-K, and as such there was no review or
recommendation as to its inclusion in this report.
Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners
and Management
The table below sets forth information regarding the ownership of
our common stock, as of December 31, 2021 unless otherwise
indicated in the footnotes to the table, by (i) all persons known
by us to beneficially own more than 5% of our Common Stock, (ii)
each of our current directors and director nominees, (iii) our
principal executive officer and our other executive officers who
were serving as such at the end of Fiscal 2021 (each, a “named
executive officer”), and (iv) all of our directors, director
nominees and executive officers as a group. We know of no
agreements among our stockholders that relate to voting or
investment power over our Common Stock or any arrangement the
operation of which may at a subsequent date result in a change of
control of us.
Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with applicable
SEC rules and generally reflects sole or shared voting or
investment power over securities. Under these rules, a person is
deemed to be the beneficial owner of securities that the person has
the right to acquire as of or within 60 days after December 31,
2021, upon the exercise of outstanding stock options or warrants,
the conversion of outstanding convertible notes, or the exercise or
conversion of any other derivative securities affording the person
the right to acquire shares of our Common Stock. As a result, each
person’s percentage ownership set forth in the table below is
determined by assuming that all outstanding stock options, warrants
or other derivative securities held by such person that are
exercisable or convertible as of or within 60 days after December
31, 2021 have been exercised or converted. Except in cases where
community property laws apply or as indicated in the footnotes to
the table, we believe that each person identified in the table
below possesses sole voting and investment power over all shares of
Common Stock shown as beneficially owned by such person. All
ownership percentages in the table are based on 1,515,716,857
shares of our Common Stock outstanding as of March 15, 2022.

IGEN NETWORKS CORP.
Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Years Ended December 31, 2021 and 2020
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
IGEN Networks Corp.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of IGEN
Networks Corp. and subsidiary (the “Company”) as of December 31,
2021, the related consolidated statements of operations, redeemable
convertible preferred stock and stockholders’ deficit, and cash
flows for the year then ended, and the related notes (collectively
referred to as the “financial statements”).
In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of the Company as of
December 31, 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash
flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming
that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in
Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered
recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations and has a
net capital deficiency that raise substantial doubt about its
ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in
regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial
statements do not include any adjustments that might result from
the outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the
Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public
accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be
independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S.
federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of
the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the
PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error
or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged
to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial
reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an
understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not
for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of
the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of
material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to
error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those
risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis,
evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as
well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial
statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising
from the current period audit of the financial statements that were
communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee
and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material
to the financial statements and (2) involved especially
challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of
critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the
financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by
communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate
opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or
disclosures to which they relate.
Revenue Recognition
Description of the Matter
As described in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company
recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards
Codification 606, Revenues from Contracts with Customers (“ASC
606”). In applying ASC 606 to the Company’s customer contracts,
there is significant judgement regarding the identification of the
performance obligations, and in particular as it relates to whether
hardware is a separate performance obligation or part of the
performance obligation that relates to tracking services. In
addition, there is also judgement as to the period of the time that
revenue should be recognized for certain performance obligations,
and for certain transactions there is judgement as to whether a
single contract is a single contract with two performance
obligations or in substance two separate contracts for accounting
purposes. These matters require significant judgement and
ultimately affect the timing of revenue recognition, and as a
result, we identified revenue recognition as a critical audit
matter.
How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit
To address the above matters relating to revenue recognition, our
audit procedures included reviewing management’s detailed
evaluation of the application of ASC 606 as it applies to its
various types of customer contracts and verifying that the
evaluation properly considered the guidance in ASC 606. Further,
our procedures also included reviewing customer contracts, testing
the details of a number of transactions, and performing other
procedures to verify the appropriateness of the Company’s
application of ASC 606.

Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of
material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to
error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those
risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis,
evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as
well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial
statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matter
The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising
from the current period audit of the financial statements that were
communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee
and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material
to the financial statements and (2) involved especially
challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of
critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the
financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by
communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate
opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or
disclosures to which they relate.
Revenue Recognition
Description of the Matter
As described in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company
recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards
Codification 606, Revenues from Contracts with Customers (“ASC
606”). In applying ASC 606 to the Company’s customer contracts,
there is significant judgement regarding the identification of the
performance obligations, and in particular as it relates to whether
hardware is a separate performance obligation or part of the
performance obligation that relates to tracking services. In
addition, there is also judgement as to the period of the time that
revenue should be recognized for certain performance obligations,
and for certain transactions there is judgement as to whether a
single contract is a single contract with two performance
obligations or in substance two separate contracts for accounting
purposes. These matters require significant judgement and
ultimately affect the timing of revenue recognition, and as a
result, we identified revenue recognition as a critical audit
matter.
How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit
To address the above matters relating to revenue recognition, our
audit procedures included reviewing management’s detailed
evaluation of the application of ASC 606 as it applies to its
various types of customer contracts and verifying that the
evaluation properly considered the guidance in ASC 606. Further,
our procedures also included reviewing customer contracts, testing
the details of a number of transactions, and performing other
procedures to verify the appropriateness of the Company’s
application of ASC 606.
Valuation of derivative liabilities
Description of the Matter
As described in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has
determined that the conversion features of certain debt and equity
instruments it holds should be accounted for as derivatives. The
accounting for these derivative liabilities require that they be
recorded at fair value and that the fair value is remeasured at the
end of each reporting period with the change in the fair value
being a charge or credit to earnings. In determining the fair value
of these derivatives, the Company uses a mutli-nominal lattice
model which requires a number of assumptions as inputs, including
expected volatility, risk-free rate and expected life. Considering
there is judgement as to the appropriateness of the model used and
that there is judgement regarding the assumptions that are
significant to the model, we identified the valuation of derivative
liabilities as critical audit matter.
How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit
To test the valuation of the derivative liabilities, our audit
procedures included, among others, reviewing the terms of the
underlying instruments, evaluating the methodologies used in the
valuation model and testing the significant assumptions. For
example, we tested the reasonableness of the Company’s conversion
terms and compared the forecasted volatility of the Company’s
common stock price to its historical volatility. We also assessed
the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data. We involved
our valuation specialist to assist in our evaluation of the
significant assumptions and methodologies used by the Company. We
have also evaluated the Company financial statement disclosures
related to these matters included in Note 7 to the Consolidated
Financial Statements.

IGEN NETWORKS CORP.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Years Ended December 31, 2021 and 2020
(Expressed in U.S. dollars)
1. Organization and Description of
Business
IGEN Networks Corp. (“IGEN”, the “Company”, “we”, “our”) was
incorporated in the State of Nevada on November 14, 2006, under the
name of Nurse Solutions Inc. On September 19, 2008, the Company
changed its name to Sync2 Entertainment Corporation and traded
under the symbol SYTO. On September 15, 2008, the Company became a
reporting issuer in British Columbia, Canada. On May 26, 2009, the
Company changed its name to IGEN Networks Corp. On March 25, 2015,
the Company was listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange (CSE)
under the trading symbol IGN and the Company became a reporting
Venture Issuer in British Columbia and Ontario, Canada.
The Company’s principal business is the development and marketing
of software services for the automotive industry. The Company works
with wireless carriers, hardware suppliers and software developers
to provide direct and secure access to information on the vehicle
and the driver’s behavior. The software services are delivered from
the AWS Cloud to the consumer and their families over the wireless
networks and accessed from any mobile or desktop device. The
software services are marketed to automotive dealers, financial
institutions, and direct-to-consumer through various commercial and
consumer brands.
Going Concern
The consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended
December 31, 2021 have been prepared assuming that the Company will
continue as a going concern. The Company has experienced recurring
losses from operations and has negative operating cash flows since
inception, has a working capital deficit of $910,000 and an
accumulated deficit of $19,076,522 as of December 31, 2021, and is
dependent on its ability to raise capital from stockholders or
other sources to sustain operations. These factors raise
substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a
going concern. Ultimately, the Company plans to achieve profitable
operations through the increase in revenue base and successfully
growing its operations organically or through acquisitions. The
consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments
that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting
Policies
Basic of Presentation and
Consolidation
These consolidated financial statements and related notes include
the records of the Company and the Company’s wholly-owned
subsidiary, Nimbo Tracking LLC, which is based in the USA.
All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
These consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
(“U.S. GAAP”), are expressed in U.S. dollars, and, in management’s
opinion, have been properly prepared within reasonable limits of
materiality and within the framework of the significant accounting
policies summarized below.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in
conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at
the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The
Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to
allowance for doubtful accounts, valuation of inventory, the useful
life and recoverability of equipment, impairment of goodwill,
valuation of notes payable and convertible debentures, fair value
of stock-based compensation and derivative liabilities, and
deferred income tax asset valuation allowances. The Company bases
its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical
experience and various other factors that it believes to be
reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the
basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and
liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not
readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced
by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the
Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences
between the estimates and the actual results, future results of
operations will be affected.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with
an original maturity of three months or less at the time of
acquisition to be cash equivalents.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are recognized and carried at the original
invoice amount less an allowance for expected uncollectible
amounts. Inherent in the assessment of the allowance for doubtful
accounts are certain judgments and estimates including, among
others, the customer’s willingness or ability to pay, the Company’s
compliance with customer invoicing requirements, the effect of
general economic conditions and the ongoing relationship with the
customer. Accounts with outstanding balances longer than the
payment terms are considered past due. We do not charge interest on
past due balances. The Company writes off trade receivables when
all reasonable collection efforts have been exhausted. Bad debt
expense is reflected as a component of general and administrative
expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. As of
December 31, 2021 and 2020, the allowance for doubtful accounts was
approximately $11,000 and $22,000, respectively.
Inventory
Inventory consists of vehicle tracking and recovery devices and is
comprised entirely of finished goods that can be resold. Inventory
is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is
determined on a first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis. Net realizable
value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of
business, less estimated costs of completion and selling costs.
There was no provision for inventory recorded during the years
ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.
Equipment
Office equipment, computer equipment, and software are recorded at
cost. Depreciation is provided annually at rates and methods over
their estimated useful lives. Management reviews the estimates of
useful lives of the assets every year and adjusts them on
prospective basis, if needed. All equipment was fully depreciated
as of December 31, 2021 and 2020. For purposes of computing
depreciation, the method of depreciating equipment is as
follows:
Computer equipment
|
3
years straight-line
|
Office equipment
|
5
years straight-line
|
Software
|

Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the acquisition price over the
fair value of identifiable net assets acquired. Goodwill is
allocated at the date of the business combination. Goodwill is not
amortized, but is tested for impairment annually on December 31 of
each year or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances
indicate the asset may be impaired. These events and circumstances
may include a significant change in legal factors or in the
business climate, a significant decline in the Company’s share
price, an adverse action of assessment by a regulator,
unanticipated competition, a loss of key personnel, significant
disposal activity and the testing of recoverability for a
significant asset group.
Goodwill impairment is measured as the amount by which a reporting
unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value.
The Company has only one reporting unit. Therefore, all of the
Company’s goodwill relates to that reporting unit, and at December
31, 2021 and 2020, the carrying value for that reporting unit is
negative.
Impairment of Long-lived Assets
The Company reviews long-lived assets, such as equipment, for
impairment whenever events or changes in the circumstances indicate
that the carrying value may not be recoverable. If the total of the
estimated undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying
value of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized for the excess
of the carrying value over the fair value of the asset during the
year the impairment occurs.
Fair Value Measurements and Financial
Instruments
In accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”)
Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, “Fair Value
Measurements and Disclosures,” the Company is to maximize the use
of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs
when measuring fair value. ASC 820 establishes a fair value
hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence
surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial
instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is
based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the
fair value measurement. ASC 820 prioritizes the inputs into three
levels that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1
Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted
prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
