The Offering
This prospectus relates to the resale of up to 20,000,000 shares of our common stock by D-Beta One EQ, Ltd., and up to 75,702,075 shares of our common stock to YAII PN, Ltd., together, the selling stockholders.
On December 6, 2017, we entered into the SPA and a Registration Rights Agreement with D-Beta One EQ, Ltd., a Cayman Islands entity, and the SEDA with YAII PN, Ltd., a Cayman Islands entity. Although D-Beta One EQ and YAII PN are affiliates of each other, they are not our affiliates. The Registration Rights Agreement requires us to file a registration statement registering D-Beta One EQ’s resale of the shares within 60 calendar days.
Under the terms of the SPA with D-Beta One EQ, we agreed to sell 20,000,000 shares of our common stock for $650,000, or $0.0325 per share. Ten million shares were delivered at closing for $325,000, with the other ten million shares will be delivered when we have successfully increased our authorized shares and filed the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. If all 20 million shares offered were sold, they would represent 1% of the total number of shares of our common stock outstanding and 2% of the total number of outstanding shares held by nonaffiliates as of the date of this prospectus.
Under the SEDA, YAII PN agreed to purchase up to $5.0 million of our common stock at our request during the 36 months following the date of the agreement and 71,428,571 shares of our common stock are being offered for resale under this prospectus. The shares will be purchased at 87.5% of the lowest daily volume weighted average price of the common stock in the five consecutive trading days immediately following our delivery of an advance notice to YAII PN to purchase the shares and are subject to certain limitations, including that YAII PN cannot purchase any shares that would result in it owning more than 4.99% of our common stock. We paid a commitment fee of 4,273,504 shares upon signing of the agreement, and the resale of those shares is also included in this prospectus. We will control the timing and amount of any of our sales of our common stock to YAII PN. We may, at any time in our sole discretion, terminate the SEDA without fee, penalty, or cost upon prior written notice. If all of the 75,702,075 shares offered by YAII PN under this prospectus were sold, they would represent 3.8% of the total number of shares of our common stock outstanding and 7% of the total number of outstanding shares held by nonaffiliates as of the date of this prospectus. If we elect to issue and sell more than the 75,702,075 shares offered under this prospectus to YAII PN, we must first register for resale any such additional shares under the Securities Act. The number of shares ultimately offered for resale by YAII PN is dependent upon the number of shares we sell to it under the SEDA, which in turn is a function of the market price for our common stock at the time of sale.
If all 95.7 million shares offered were sold, they would represent 4.7% of the total number of shares of our common stock outstanding and 9% of the total number of outstanding shares held by nonaffiliates as of the date of this prospectus.
Issuances of our common stock in this offering will not affect the rights or privileges of our existing stockholders, except that the economic and voting interests of each of our existing stockholders will be diluted as a result of any such issuances. Although the number of shares of common stock that our existing stockholders own will not decrease, the shares owned by our existing stockholders will represent a smaller percentage of our total outstanding shares after any issuances to D-Beta One EQ and YAII PN.

In addition, the exercise price of the Warrants is subject to adjustment in the event during the five year exercise period from the original issuance of the Warrants, if we sell any shares of our Common Stock or securities exchangeable or exercisable or convertible into our Common Stock, subject to certain exceptions, at a price per share less than the exercise price of the Warrants then in effect or without consideration. Reference is made to Exhibit 10.57, Form of Common Stock Purchase Warrant. | |
Series B Preferred to be Outstanding after this Offering | 2,000,000 shares | |
Offering Price | $25 per Unit | |
Dividends | Holders of the Series B Preferred will be entitled to receive cumulative cash dividends at a rate of 13% per annum on the stated value, $25 per share, of the Series B Preferred (equivalent to $3.25 per annum per share). Dividends will be payable monthly in arrears on the 15th day of each month (each, a “Dividend Payment Date”), provided that if any Dividend Payment Date is not a business day, then the dividend that would otherwise have been payable on that Dividend Payment Date may be paid on the next succeeding business day without adjustment in the amount of the dividend. Dividends will be payable to holders of record as they appear on our stock records for the Series B Preferred at the close of business on the corresponding record date, which shall be the last day of the calendar month, whether or not a business day, immediately preceding the month in which the applicable Dividend Payment Date falls (each, a “Dividend Record Date”). As a result, holders of shares of Series B Preferred will not be entitled to receive dividends on a Dividend Payment Date if such shares were not issued and outstanding on the applicable dividend record date. Any dividend payable on the Series B Preferred, including dividends payable for any partial dividend period, will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months; however, the shares of Series B Preferred offered hereby will be credited as having accrued dividends since the first day of the calendar month in which they are issued. |

Dividend Escrow | We will allocate and pay from the proceeds from this Offering an amount equal to the first three years of dividend payments, or $9.75 per share of Series B Preferred, to IFEB Bank (the “Escrow Agent”). The dividends on the Series B Preferred paid by the Company from the proceeds of the Offering into the Escrow Account and will be held by the Escrow Agent utilizing the services of VStock Transfer, LLC, a licensed transfer agent (“VStock”), which monies will be the sole property, and for the sole benefit, of the investors and will not be deemed for any purposes whatsoever the property of the Company. For three years after issuance, without further authorization from our Board, the Escrow Agent will pay dividends through VStock to investors on a monthly basis as set forth above. Although, dividends will accrue separately for each investor, the Escrow Agent will not pay dividend payments to any investor unless it pays all investors who are listed as Series B Preferred stockholders on our transfer records as of each Dividend Record Date. See “Description of Offered Securities - Dividends.” | |
No Maturity, Sinking Fund or Mandatory Redemption | The Series B Preferred has no stated maturity and will not be subject to any sinking fund or mandatory redemption. Shares of the Series B Preferred will remain outstanding indefinitely unless we decide to redeem or otherwise repurchase them as provided under Optional Redemption and Special Optional Redemption below. We are not required to set aside funds to redeem the Series B Preferred. | |
Optional Redemption | The Series B Preferred is not redeemable by us prior to the three-year anniversary of each issuance of Series B Preferred. We may, at our option, redeem the Series B Preferred, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, for cash at a redemption price equal to the Stated Value of $25 per share of Series B Preferred, plus any accumulated and unpaid dividends to, but not including, the redemption date. See “Description of the Series B Preferred - Redemption - Optional Redemption” for further details. If we redeem any Series B Preferred, we will only do so by treating all investors equally. In order to do that, we will deposit all redemption proceeds in an escrow account, since we expect the three-year periods to vary. The only exception to escrowing funds will be if the redemption date is more than three years after issuance of all Series B Preferred in which case, we will simply pay all investors at the same time. | |
Special Optional Redemption | Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, we may, at our option, redeem the Series B Preferred, in whole or in part, within 120 days after notice of such Change of Control, for cash at a redemption price equal to the Stated Value of $25 per share of Series B Preferred, plus any accumulated and unpaid dividends to, but not including, the redemption date. A “Change of Control” is deemed to occur when any person, including any syndicate or group deemed to be a “person” under Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) of beneficial ownership, directly or indirectly, through a purchase, merger or other acquisition transaction or series of purchases, mergers or other acquisition transactions shall have acquired our stock entitling that person to exercise more than 50% of the total voting power of all our stock entitled to vote generally in the election of our directors (except that such person will be deemed to have beneficial ownership of all securities that such person has the right to acquire, whether such right is currently exercisable or is exercisable only upon the occurrence of a subsequent condition). |

Ranking | The Series B Preferred will rank, with respect to rights to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, senior to all classes or series of our Common Stock or our issued and outstanding Series A Preferred Stock and to all other equity securities issued by us other than equity securities on a parity with all equity securities issued by us with terms specifically providing that those equity securities rank on a parity with the Series B Preferred with respect to rights to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up; junior to all equity securities issued by us with terms specifically providing that those equity securities rank senior to the Series B Preferred with respect to rights to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, including any other series of Preferred Stock; and effectively junior to all of our existing and future indebtedness (including indebtedness convertible into our Common Stock or Preferred Stock) and to the indebtedness and other liabilities of (as well as any preferred equity interests held by others in) our existing subsidiaries and any future subsidiaries. See “Description of the Series B Preferred–Ranking” for further information. | |
Limited Voting Rights | Holders of Series B Preferred will have no voting rights except for the limited instance where the Series B Preferred may vote. See the section entitled “Description of the Series B Preferred—Voting Rights,” and the Series B Certificate of Designation, filed as Exhibit 10.55 to this Registration Statement. | |
Use of Proceeds | After escrowing proceeds equal to $9.75 per share of Series B Preferred with the Escrow Agent for the payment of the initial three years of dividends, we plan to use the net proceeds from this Offering to repay our outstanding debt to repay our loans which we estimate is $2,190,000 as of the date of this Prospectus. And the balance for working capital, general corporate purposes and growth initiatives, including potential future acquisitions, although the Company has no present plans, arrangements or agreements for any such acquisitions. See the disclosure under “Use of Proceeds” below. | |
Risk Factors | Please read the disclosure under the section entitled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 8 for a discussion of some of the factors you should carefully consider before deciding to invest in our Series B Preferred and Warrants. | |
Trading Market | Our Common Stock is quoted on the OTCQB under the INVU symbol. We expect the Units, the Series B Preferred, and the Warrants will be quoted under the symbols “INVUU,” “INVUB” and “INVUW,” respectively, pending assignment by FINRA of trading symbols, following the date the SEC declares the Registration Statement effective under the Act. We intend to initially apply to the OTCQB Market (“OTCQB”) to make these securities become subject to quotation although we may determine to apply for quotation on the OTCQX although there can be no assurance that we will qualify for quotation of these securities on the OTCQX. See “Description of Offered Securities - Trading Market.” | |
Transfer Agent | Standard Registrar and Transfer Co., Inc. will act as the registrar, transfer agent and dividend and redemption price disbursing agent in respect of the Units, Series B Preferred and Warrants. | |
Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations | For a discussion of the federal income tax consequences of purchasing, owning and disposing of the Series B Preferred, please see the section entitled “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations.” You should consult your tax advisor with respect to the U.S. federal income tax consequences of owning the Series B Preferred in light of your own particular situation and with respect to any tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local, foreign or other taxing jurisdiction. | |
Book Entry and Form | The Units, the Series B Preferred and the Warrants will be represented by one or more global certificates in definitive, fully registered form deposited with a custodian for, and registered in the name of, a nominee of The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”). |

An investmentInvesting in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider and evaluate all of the following risk factors, together with the other information about these risks contained in this prospectus, as well as the other information contained in this prospectus generally, before decidingyou decide to buy our securities. Any ofpurchase the risks we describe below could adversely affect our business, financial condition, operating results, or prospects.Units. The market prices for our securities could decline if one or more of these risks and uncertainties develop into actual events and you could lose all or part of your investment.described in this prospectus are not the only ones we may face. Additional risks and uncertainties that we do not yetpresently know of,about or that we currently thinkbelieve are immaterial,not material may also impairadversely affect our business, operations. You should also refer tobusiness prospects, results of operations or financial condition. Any of the other information contained in this prospectus, includingrisks and uncertainties set forth herein, could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial statementscondition. This could cause the market price of the Units, the Series B Preferred and the related notes.Warrants to decline, perhaps significantly, and you may lose part or all of your investment.
Risks Related to our BusinessFinancial Condition
Because this is a best effort Offering, investors who invest initially will be subject to more risk than later investors.
We are seeking to raise up to $50,000,000 from the sale of the Units. We intend to escrow approximately 39% of the gross proceeds in order to provide investors a 13% return through dividend payments for three years from the date of issuance to each investor. The remaining proceeds will be first used to pay our indebtedness which is expected to be approximately $2,050,000 as of the date of this prospectus and we intend to use the remaining proceeds for working capital, general corporate purposes and growth initiatives, including potential future acquisitions, although the Company has no present plans, arrangements or agreements for any such acquisitions. See “Description of Offered Securities – Series B Preferred.” Because this is a best effort Offering, the earlier investors invest in this Offering, the greater degree of risk they will incur. For example, if the Company raises an immaterial amount, investors will be subject to more risk than if all or substantially all of the $50,000,000 is raised. This is because there is no minimum amount of proceeds we must raise. If we do not raise a substantial amount of proceeds, we may not have sufficient working capital to be able to carry out our business since we are continuing to lose money. In that event, we will be required to seek other financing which, if available, may be very dilutive and expensive. In that event, your investment will be adversely affected. In order to qualify for the OTCQB, we will need to generate net proceeds of $1.7 million from the sale of 68,000 Units, at which time we will have the initial closing, following which we will continue the Offering of Units until all of the units are sold or we terminate the Offering. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in selling 68,000 Units and our Series B Preferred becoming subject to quotation of the OTCQB.
Our Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm has expressed substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern.
The audited financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern and do not include any adjustments that might result if we cease to continue as a going concern. We believe that to continue as a going concern we will need approximately $1,00,000 per year simply to cover the administrative, legal and accounting fees. We plan to fund these expenses primarily through cash flow from operations, if and when we generate positive cash flow, of which there can be no assurance, the sale of restricted shares of our Common Stock, and the issuance of convertible notes, as well as funds raised from this Offering, if it is successful, of which there can be no assurance
Based on our financial statements for the years ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, our independent registered public accounting firm has expressed substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern.
Investing in our securities involves a great deal of risk. Careful consideration should be made of the following factors as well as other information included in this Prospectus before deciding to purchase the Units subject of this Offering or of our Common Stock in the open market or otherwise. Our business, financial condition or results of operations could be affected materially and adversely by any or all the risks set forth under “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Prospectus.
We may need to raise additional capital to fund continuing operations and an inability to raise the necessary capital or to do so on acceptable terms could threaten the success of our business.
To date, our operations have been funded entirely from the proceeds from equity and debt financings or loans from our management. We currently anticipate that our available capital resources will be insufficient to meet our expected working capital and capital expenditure requirements for the near future. We anticipate that we will require an additional $1.5 million during the next twelve months to fulfill our business plan. However, such resources may not be sufficient to fund the long-term growth of our business. If we determine that it is necessary to raise additional funds, we may choose to do so through strategic collaborations, licensing arrangements through our “White Labeling” strategy, public or private equity or debt financing, a bank line of credit, or other arrangements.
We cannot be sure that any additional funding will be available on terms favorable to us or at all. Any additional equity financing may be dilutive to our shareholders, new equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing holders of our shares of Common stock. Debt or equity financing may subject us to restrictive covenants and significant interest costs. If we obtain funding through a strategic collaboration or licensing arrangement, we may be required to relinquish our rights to our product or marketing territories. If we are unable to obtain the financing necessary to support our operations, we may be required to defer, reduce or eliminate certain planned expenditures or significantly curtail our operations.

We have a history of net losses; we may never achieve or sustain profitability or positive cash flow from operations.
We have incurred net losses in each fiscal year since our inception, including net losses of $5,011,036 for the year ended March 31, 2019 and $14,913,016 for the year ended March 31, 2018, and a net loss of $8,587,449 for the nine months ended December 31, 2019. As of December 31, 2019, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $33,684,432. We expect to continue to incur substantial expenditures to develop and market our services and could continue to incur losses and negative operating cash flow for the foreseeable future. We may never achieve profitability or positive cash flow in the future, and even if we do, we may not be able to continue being profitable.
We have a limited operating history,history; it is difficult to evaluate our business and therefore, there is a high risk of potential business failure unless we can overcomefuture prospects and increases the various obstacles inherent to an early stage business.risks associated with investment in our securities.
We have only limited prior business operations. Because of our limited operating history, youinvestors may not have adequate information on which youthey can base an evaluation of our business and prospects. Investors should be aware of the difficulties, delays, and expenses normally encountered by an enterprise in its early stage, many of which are beyond our control, including unanticipated research and development expenses, employment costs, and administrative expenses. We cannot assure our investors that our proposed business plans as described herein will materialize or prove successful, or that we will be able to finalize development of our products or operate profitably.
We have incurred substantial operating losses since inception,may not be successful in addressing these and other challenges we may never achieve profitability.
Through September 30, 2017, we have incurred cumulative losses of $11,095,620, recorded net losses from operations of $5,941,233 forface in the six months ended September 30, 2017,future, and our cash balance on September 30, 2017 was $1,920. Accordingly,business and future prospects may be materially and adversely affected if we cannot assure that we will achieve profitability in the immediate future or at all.
Our independent auditors have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
In their audit opinion issued in connection with our consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2017, and our related consolidated statements of operations, deficiency in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year ended March 31, 2017, our auditors have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern given our recurring net losses, negative cash flows from operations, and the limited amount of funds on our balance sheet. We have prepared our consolidated financial statements on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary shouldmanage these and other risks successfully. Given our limited operating history, we may be unable to continue in existence. Thiseffectively implement our business plan which could make it more difficultmaterially harm our business or cause us to raise capital in the future.scale down or cease our operations.
Risks Related to our Business
We may not be able to manage our growth effectively, which could slow or prevent our ability to achieve profitability.
The ability to manage and operate our business as we execute our development and growth strategy will require effective planning. Significant rapid growth could strain our internal resources and delay or prevent our efforts to achieve profitability. We expect that our efforts to grow will place a significant strain on our personnel, management systems, infrastructure, and other resources. Our ability to manage future growth effectively will also require us to successfully attract, train, motivate, retain, and manage new employees and continue to update and improve our operational, financial, and management controls and procedures. If we do not manage our growth effectively, slower growth is likely to occur, thereby slowing or negating our ability to achieve and sustain profitability.
We may not be able to fully protect our proprietary rights and we may infringe the proprietary rights of others, which could result in costly litigation.
Our future success depends on our ability to protect and preserve the proprietary rights related to our products. We cannot assure that we will be able to prevent third parties from using our intellectual property rights and technology without our authorization. We also rely on trade secrets, common law trademark rights, and trademark registrations, as well as confidentiality and work for hire, development, assignment, and license agreements with employees, consultants, third-party developers, licensees, and customers. Our protective measures for these intangible assets afford only limited protection and may be flawed or inadequate.
Policing unauthorized use of our technology is difficult and some foreign laws do not provide the same level of protection as U.S. laws. Litigation may be necessary in the future to enforce our intellectual property rights, to protect our trade secrets or patents that we may obtain, or to determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others. Such litigation could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and have a material adverse effect on our future operating results.
In recent years, there has been significant litigation in the United States involving patents and other intellectual property rights. In particular, there has been an increase in the filing of suits alleging infringement of intellectual property rights, which pressurepressures defendants into entering settlement arrangements quickly to dispose of such suits, regardless of their merits. Other companies or individuals may allege that we infringe on their intellectual property rights. Litigation, particularly in the area of intellectual property rights, is costly and the outcome is inherently uncertain. In the event of an adverse result, we could be liable for substantial damages and we may be forced to discontinue our use of the subject matterintellectual property in question or obtain a license to use those rights or develop non infringingnon-infringing alternatives.

Our business could be negatively affected by any adverse economic developments in the securities markets or the economy in general.
Our business could be negatively affected by economic developments in the securities markets or the economy in general.
We depend on the interest of individuals in obtaining financial information and securities trading strategies to assist them in making their own investment decisions. Significant downturns in the securities markets or in general economic and political conditions may cause individuals to be reluctant to make their own investment decisions and, thus, decrease the demand for our products. Significant upturns in the securities markets or in general economic and political conditions may cause individuals to be less proactive in seeking ways to improve the returns on their trading or investment decisions and, thus, decrease the demand for our products.
We may encounter risks relating to security or other system disruptions and failures that could reduce the attractiveness of our sites and that could harm our business.
Although we have implemented various security mechanisms, our business is vulnerable to computer viruses, physical or electronic break-ins, and similar disruptions, which could lead to interruptions, delays, or loss of data. For instance, because a portion of our revenue is based on individuals using credit cards to purchase subscriptions over the Internet and a portion from advertisers that seek to encourage people to use the Internet to purchase goods or services, our business could be adversely affected by these break-ins or disruptions.
Additionally, our operations depend on our ability to protect systems against damage from fire, earthquakes, power loss, telecommunications failure, and other events beyond our control. Moreover, our website may experience slower response times or other problems for a variety of reasons, including hardware and communication line capacity restraints, software failures, or significant increases in traffic when there have been important business or financial news stories. These strains on our systems could cause customer dissatisfaction and could discourage visitors from becoming paying subscribers. Our websites could experience disruptions or interruptions in service due to the failure or delay in the transmission or receipt of information from us. These types of occurrences could cause users to perceive our website and technology solutions as not functioning properly and cause them to use other methods or services of our competitors. Any disruption resulting from these actions may harm our business and may be very expensive to remedy, may not be fully covered by our insurance, could damage our reputation, and discourage new and existing users from using our products and services. Any disruptions could increase costs and make profitability even more difficult to achieve.
We will need to introduce new products and services and enhance existing products and services to remain competitive.
Our future success depends in part on our ability to develop and enhance our products and services. In addition, the adoption of new Internet, networking, or telecommunications technologies or other technological changes could require us to incur substantial expenditures to enhance or adapt our services or infrastructure. There are significant technical and financial costs and risks in the development of new or enhanced products and services, including the risk that we might be unable to effectively use new technologies, adapt our services to emerging industry standards, or develop, introduce, and market enhanced or new products and services. An inability to develop new products and services, or enhance existing offerings, could have a material adverse effect on our profitability.
We rely on external service providers to perform certain key functions.
We rely on a number of external service providers for certain key technology, processing, service, and support functions. External content providers provide us with financial information, market news, charts, option and stock quotes, research reports, and other fundamental data that we offer to clients. These service providers face technological and operational risks of their own. Any significant failures by them, including improper use or disclosure of our confidential client, employee, or company information, could cause us to incur losses and could harm our reputation.
We cannot assure that any external service providers will be able to continue to provide these services in an efficient, cost-effective manner or that they will be able to adequately expand their services to meet our needs. An interruption in or the cessation of service by any external service provider as a result of systems failures, capacity constraints, financial constraints or problems, unanticipated trading market closures, or for any other reason, and our inability to make alternative arrangements in a smooth and timely manner, if at all, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.
We could face liability and other costs relating to storage and use of personal information about its users.
Users provide us with personal information, including credit card information, which we do not share without the user’s consent. Despite this policy of obtaining consent, however, if third persons were able to penetrate our network security or otherwise misappropriate our users’ personal or credit card information, we could be subject to liability, including claims for unauthorized purchases with credit card information, impersonation or other similar fraud claims, and misuses of personal information, such as for unauthorized marketing purposes. New privacy legislation may further increase this type of liability. Furthermore, we could incur additional expenses if additional regulations regarding the use of personal information were introduced or if federal or state agencies were to investigate our privacy practices.

Our business could be negatively affected if we are required to defend allegations of unfair competition and unfair false or deceptive acts or practices in or affecting commerce.
Advertising and marketing of our products in the United States are also subject to regulation by the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) under the Federal Trade Commission Act, or FTC Act. Among other things, the FTC Act prohibits unfair methods of competition and unfair false or deceptive acts or practices in or affecting commerce. The FTC Act also makes it illegal to disseminate or cause to be disseminated any false advertisement. The FTC routinely reviews websites to identify questionable advertising claims and practices. Competitors sometimes inform the FTC when they believe other competitors are violating the FTC Act and consumers also notify the FTC of what they believe may be wrongful advertising. The FTC may initiate a nonpublic investigation that focuses on our advertising claims, which usually involves nonpublic, pre-lawsuit, extensive formal discovery. Such an investigation may be lengthy and expensive to defend and result in a publicly disclosed consent decree or settlement agreement. If no settlement can be reached, the FTC may start an administrative proceeding or a federal court lawsuit against us or our principal officers. The FTC often seeks to recover from the defendants, whether in a consent decree or a proceeding, any or all of the following: (i) consumer redress in the form of monetary relief or disgorgement of profits; (ii) significant reporting requirements for several years; and (iii) injunctive relief. In addition, most, if not all, states have statutes prohibiting deceptive and unfair acts and practices. The requirements under these state statutes are similar to those of the FTC Act.
We accept and hold cryptocurrencies, which may subject us to exchange risk and additional tax and regulatory requirements.
We have recently begun accepting cryptocurrencies bitcoin and etherium as a form of payment. Cryptocurrencies are not considered legal tender or backed by any government and have experienced significant price volatility, technological glitches, and various law enforcement and regulatory interventions. If we fail to comply with regulations or prohibitions applicable to us, we could face regulatory or other enforcement actions and potential fines and other consequences. We also hold cryptocurrencies directly, subjecting us to exchange rate risk as well as the risk that regulatory or other developments and the recent price volatility may adversely affect the value of the cryptocurrencies we hold. The uncertainties regarding legal and regulatory requirements relating to cryptocurrencies or transactions using cryptocurrencies, as well as potential accounting and tax issues or other requirements relating to cryptocurrencies, could have a material adverse effect on our business.
Our business could be negatively affected if we are required to defend allegations that our direct selling activities are fraudulent or deceptive schemes, are against public interest, or are the sale of unregistered securities.
Direct selling activities are regulated by the FTC, as well as various federal, state, and local governmental agencies in the United States and foreign countries. These laws and regulations are generally intended to prevent fraudulent or deceptive schemes, often referred to as “pyramid” schemes, which compensate participants primarily for recruiting additional participants without significant emphasis on product sales. Regulators may take the position that some or all of our products are deemed to be securities, the sale of which has not been registered.
The laws and regulations governing direct selling are modified from time to time, and like other direct selling companies, we may be subject from time to time to government investigations related to our direct selling activities. This may require us to make changes to our business model and our compensation plan.
Our independent distributors could fail to comply with applicable legal requirements or our distributor policies and procedures, which could result in claims against us that could harm our business.
Our independent distributors are independent contractors and, accordingly, we are not in a position to directly provide the same oversight, direction, and motivation as we could if they were our employees. As a result, we cannot assure that our independent distributors will comply with applicable laws or regulations or our distributor policies and procedures.
Extensive federal, state, local, and international laws regulate our business, products, and direct selling activities. Because we have expanded into foreign countries, our policies and procedures for our independent distributors differ slightly in some countries due to the different legal requirements of each country in which we do business.
Our proprietary systems may be compromised by hackers.
Our current products and other products and services that we may develop in the future will be based on proprietary software and customer-specific data that we protect by routine measures such as password protection, confidentiality and nondisclosure agreements with employees, and similar measures. Any unauthorized access to our software or data could materially disrupt our business and result in financial loss and damages to our business reputation.
11 |
Our future success is largely dependent on our current management.
Our business was built by the vision, dedication, and expertise of our executive officers, Ryan Smith, Annette Raynor, Chad Miller, Mario Romano, and William Kosoff, who are responsible for our day-to-day operations and creative development. Our success is dependent upon the continued efforts of these people. If it became necessary to replace them, it is unlikely new management could be found that would have the same level of knowledge and dedication to our success. The loss of the services of these professionals, especially in the development of future proprietary software, patents, or applications, would adversely affect our business.
Risks Related to this Offering and Ownership of the Units, Series B Preferred and the Warrants.
The Series B Preferred ranks junior to all of our indebtedness and other liabilities
In the event of our bankruptcy, liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of our affairs, our assets will be available to pay obligations on the Series B Preferred only after all of our indebtedness and other liabilities have been paid. The rights of holders of the Series B Preferred to participate in the distribution of our assets will rank junior to the prior claims of our current and future creditors, existing preferred stock and Common Stock, and any future series or class of preferred stock we may issue that ranks senior to the Series B Preferred. Also, the Series B Preferred effectively ranks junior to all our existing and future indebtedness and to the indebtedness and other liabilities of our existing subsidiaries and any future subsidiaries. Our existing subsidiaries are, and future subsidiaries would be, separate legal entities and have no legal obligation to pay any amounts to us in respect of dividends due on the Series B Preferred. If we are forced to liquidate our assets to pay our creditors, we may not have sufficient assets to pay amounts due on any or all of the Series B Preferred then outstanding. We may in the future incur debt and other obligations that will rank senior to the Series B Preferred. At December 31, 2019, we had total liabilities of $17,465,617. Nevertheless, the three years of dividends on the Series B Preferred, which total $9.75 per share of Series B Preferred, that will be paid by the Company from the proceeds of the Offering into the Escrow Account, will not be the property of the Company but rather will be for the sole benefit of the investors, payable to the investors on a monthly basis. As a result, these dividends will not, in the ordinary course, be accessible to third-party creditors of the Company.
Additionally, any convertible or exchangeable securities that we issue in the future may have rights, preferences and privileges more favorable than those of the Series B Preferred and may result in dilution to owners of the Series B Preferred. We and, indirectly, our stockholders, will bear the cost of issuing and servicing such securities. Because our decision to issue debt or equity securities in any future Offering will depend on market conditions and other factors beyond our control, we cannot predict or estimate the amount, timing or nature of our future Offerings. The holders of the Series B Preferred will bear the risk of our future Offerings, which may reduce the market price of the Series B Preferred and will dilute the value of their holdings in us.
We may not be able to declare and pay dividends on the Series B Preferred if we fail to comply with the conditions imposed by the applicable Nevada law requirements.
Section 78.288 “Distributions to stockholders” of the Nevada Revised Statute provide that we may only declare and pay cash dividends on the Series B Preferred if (a) the corporation would not be able to pay its debts as they become due in the usual course of business; or (b) except as otherwise specifically allowed by the articles of incorporation, the corporation’s total assets would be less than the sum of its total liabilities plus the amount that would be needed, if the corporation were to be dissolved at the time of distribution, to satisfy the preferential rights upon dissolution of stockholders whose preferential rights are superior to those receiving the distribution. There can be no assurance that we will satisfy such requirements in any given year.
There is no established market for the Units, the Series B Preferred or the Warrants, a market may never develop.
There is no established trading market for the Units, the Series B Preferred or the Warrants and we do not know if a market will develop on the OTCQB or, if it does, how active it will be or whether it will be sustained. Further, if in the future we believe we meet the quantitative requirements for listing our Common Stock on Nasdaq, we intend to apply to have the Common Stock, the Units, the Series B Preferred and the Warrants listed. We cannot assure you that we will meet the quantitative listing requirements or that any application will be approved. The liquidity of the market for the Units, the Series B Preferred, and the Warrants depends on a number of factors, including prevailing interest rates, our financial condition and operating results, the number of holders of these securities, the market for similar securities and the interest of securities dealers in making a market in these securities. The market for the Warrants will be linked to the price and the liquidity of our Common Stock. We cannot predict with certainty the extent of investor interest in the Units, the Series B Preferred, and the Warrants, or how liquid that market will be. Without an active trading market, the liquidity of these securities will be limited.

We may issue additional shares of Series B Preferred and additional series of preferred stock that rank on parity with or senior to the Series B Preferred as to dividend rights, rights upon liquidation or voting rights.
We are allowed to issue additional shares of Series B Preferred and additional series of preferred stock that would rank on parity with or junior to the Series B Preferred as to dividend payments and rights upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up of our affairs pursuant to our Certificate of Incorporation, including the Certificate of Designations relating to the Series B Preferred without any vote of the holders of the Series B Preferred. Upon the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred (voting together as a class with all other series of parity preferred stock we may issue upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable), we are allowed to issue additional series of preferred stock that would rank senior to the Series B Preferred as to dividend payments and rights upon our liquidation, dissolution or the winding up pursuant to our Certificate of Incorporation and the Certificate of Designations relating to the Series B Preferred. The issuance of additional shares of Series B Preferred and additional series of preferred stock could have the effect of reducing the amounts available to the holders of Series B Preferred upon our liquidation or dissolution or the winding up of our affairs.
Also, although holders of Series B Preferred are entitled to limited voting rights, as described in this prospectus under “Description of the Series B Preferred - Voting Rights,” with respect to the circumstances under which the holders of Series B Preferred are entitled to vote, the Series B Preferred votes separately as a class along with all other series of our preferred stock that we may issue upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable. As a result, the voting rights of the holders of Series B Preferred may be significantly diluted, and the holders of such other series of preferred stock that we may issue may be able to control or significantly influence the outcome of any vote.
Future issuances and sales of senior or parity preferred stock, or the perception that such issuances and sales could occur, may cause prevailing market prices for the Series B Preferred and our Common Stock to decline and may adversely affect our ability to raise additional capital in the financial markets at times and prices favorable to us.
Holders of the Units may be unable to use the dividends-received deduction and may not be eligible for the preferential tax rates applicable to “qualified dividend income.”
Dividends paid to corporate U.S. holders of the Series B Preferred, which is being offered in this Offering as part of the Units, may be eligible for the dividends-received deduction, and dividends paid to non-corporate U.S. holders of the Series B Preferred may be subject to tax at the preferential tax rates applicable to “qualified dividend income,” if we have current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes. We do not currently have accumulated earnings and profits. Additionally, we may not have sufficient current earnings and profits during future fiscal years for the distributions on the Series B Preferred to qualify as dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes. If the distributions fail to qualify as dividends, U.S. holders would be unable to use the dividends-received deduction and may not be eligible for the preferential tax rates applicable to “qualified dividend income.” If any distributions on the Series B Preferred with respect to any fiscal year are not eligible for the dividends-received deduction or preferential tax rates applicable to “qualified dividend income” because of insufficient current or accumulated earnings and profits, the market value of the Units and the Series B Preferred could decline.
If we redeem the Series B Preferred, investors will no longer be entitled to dividends.
On or after three years after the first sale of Series B Preferred in or 2023, we may, at our option, redeem the Series B Preferred, in whole or in part, at any time or from time-to-time, based upon the payment of the Stated Value of $25 per share of Series B Preferred plus accrued dividends. Also, upon the occurrence of a Change of Control (as defined below under “Description of the Series B Preferred – Redemption”), we may, at our option, upon not less than 30 and nor more than 60 days’ written notice, redeem the Series B Preferred, in whole or in part, within 120 days after the date of such written notice. We may have an incentive to redeem the Series B Preferred voluntarily if market conditions allow us to issue other preferred stock or debt securities at a rate that is lower than the dividend on the Series B Preferred. If we redeem the Series B Preferred, then from and after the redemption date, dividends will cease to accrue on the shares of Series B Preferred, that have been redeemed, such shares of Series B Preferred shall no longer be deemed outstanding and all rights as a holder of those shares will terminate, except the right to receive the redemption price plus accumulated and unpaid dividends, if any, payable upon redemption.
The market price of the Units, the Series B Preferred and the Warrants could be substantially affected by various factors.
The market price of the Units, the Series B Preferred and the Warrants could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to numerous factors. The price of the Units and the Series B Preferred that will prevail in the market after this Offering may be higher or lower than the Offering price depending on many factors, some of which are beyond our control and may not be directly related to our operating performance.
These factors include, but are not limited to, the following:
● | prevailing interest rates, increases in which may have an adverse effect on the market price of the Series B Preferred; |
● | trading prices of similar securities; |
● | our history of timely dividend payments; |
● | the annual yield from dividends on the Series B Preferred as compared to yields on other financial instruments; |
● | general economic and financial market conditions; |
● | government action or regulation; |
● | the financial condition, performance and prospects of us and our competitors; |
13 |
● | changes in financial estimates or recommendations by securities analysts with respect to us or our competitors in our industry; |
● | our issuance of additional equity or debt securities; and |
● | actual or anticipated variations in quarterly operating results of us and our competitors. |
The Warrants are likely to trade in the same manner as our Common Stock.
As a result of these and other factors, investors who purchase the Units in this Offering may experience a decrease, which could be substantial and rapid, in the market price of the Units, the Series B Preferred and the Warrants, including decreases unrelated to our operating performance or prospects.
If you purchase the Units, you will have no voting rights except for extremely limited voting rights for the Series B Preferred.
The voting rights of a holder of Series B Preferred are limited. Our shares of Common Stock are the only classes of our securities that carry full voting rights.
The holders of Series B Preferred have no voting rights except with respect to voting on amendments to our Series B Preferred Certificate of Designation that materially and adversely affect the rights of the holders of Series B Preferred or authorize, increase or create additional classes or series of our capital stock that are senior to the Series B Preferred. Other than the limited circumstances described in the Prospectus and except to the extent required by law, holders of Series B Preferred do not have any voting rights. See “Description of the Series B Preferred—Voting Rights.”
The Series B Preferred is not convertible into our common stock, investors will not benefit if the price of our common stock increases.
The Series B Preferred is not convertible into our Common Stock and earns dividends at a fixed rate. Accordingly, an increase in market price of our Common Stock will not necessarily result in an increase in the market price of our Series B Preferred. The market value of the Series B Preferred may depend more on dividend and interest rates for other preferred stock, commercial paper and other investment alternatives and our actual and perceived ability to pay dividends on, and in the event of dissolution satisfy the liquidation preference with respect to, the Series B Preferred.
Management will have broad discretion in using the proceeds of this Offering.
We intend to use the net proceeds of this Offering (after putting the dividends for the initial three years into an escrow account) to pay our indebtedness and thereafter for working capital and general corporate purposes to support our growth. We have not allocated any specific portion of the net proceeds to any particular purpose, and our management will have the discretion to allocate the proceeds as it determines. We will have significant flexibility and broad discretion in applying the net proceeds of this Offering. Our management might not be able to yield a significant return, if any, on any investment of these net proceeds, and you will not have the opportunity to influence our decisions on how to use our net proceeds from this Offering.
Risks Relating to Our Common Stock
We have a history of operating losses and expect to report future losses that may cause our stock price to decline.
ForWe have incurred net losses in each fiscal year since our inception, including net losses of $5,011,036 for the operating period through September 30, 2017,year ended March 31, 2019 and $14,913,016 for the year ended March 31, 2018, and a net loss of $8,587,449 for the nine months ended December 31, 2019. As of December 31, 2019, we had an accumulated deficit of $11,095,620. Although we reported net revenue of $6,593,107 for the six months ended September 30, 2017, our net loss was $5,941,233. We expect to continue to incur losses as we spend additional capital to market our products and establish our infrastructure and organization to support anticipated operations.approximately $33,684,432. We cannot be certain thatwhether we will ever be profitable, or that if we do, become profitable, that we will be able to continue any profitability.to be profitable. Also, any economic weakness or global recession may limit our ability to market our products. Any of these factors could cause our stock price to decline and result in our stockholders losing a portion or all of their investments.
We will need to raise additional capital. If we are unable to raise additional capital, our business may fail.
Because our revenues are not yet sufficient to cover expenses or fund our growth, we need to secure ongoing funding. If we are unable to obtain adequate additional financing, we may not be able to successfully market and sell our products, our business operations will most likely be discontinued, and we will cease to be a going concern. To secure additional financing, we may need to borrow money or sell more securities. Under these circumstances, we may be unable to secure additional financing on favorable terms or at all. Selling additional stock, either privately or publicly, would dilute the equity interests of our stockholders. If we borrow money, we will have to pay interest and may also have to agree to restrictions that limit our operating flexibility. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing, we may have to curtail business operations, which would have a material negative effect on operating results and most likely result in a lower stock price.

Our common stock price has been and may continue to be extremely volatile.
Our common stock has closed as low as $0.0044$0.006 per share and as high as $.0889$.036 per share between April 1, 2017, andduring the fiscal year preceding the date of this prospectus. We believe this volatility may be caused, in party,part, by variations in our quarterly operating results, delays in development of our technologies, changes in market valuations of similar companies, and the volume of our stock in the market.
Additionally, in recent years the stock market in general, and the OTC Markets and technology stocks in particular, have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations. In some cases, these fluctuations are unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of the underlying company. These market and industry factors may materially and adversely affect our stock price regardless of our operating performance. The historical trading of our common stock is not necessarily an indicator of how it will trade in the future and our trading price as of the date of this prospectus is not necessarily an indicator of what the trading price of our common stock might be in the future.
In the past, class action litigation has often been brought against companies following periods of volatility in the market price of those companies’ common stock. If we become involved in this type of litigation in the future it could result in substantial costs and diversion of management attention and resources, which could have a further negative effect on our stock price.
Shares of our common stock may never become eligible for trading on Nasdaq or a national securities exchange.
We cannot assure that we will ever be listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market or on another national securities exchange. Listing on one of the Nasdaq markets or one of the national securities exchanges is subject to a variety of requirements, including minimum trading price and minimum public “float” requirements. There are also continuing eligibility requirements for companies listed on national securities exchanges. If we are unable to satisfy the initial or continuing eligibility requirements of any such market, then our stock may not be listed or could be delisted. This could result in a lower trading price for our common stock and may limit the ability of our stockholders to sell their shares, which could result in a loss of some or all of their investments.
If we fail to file periodic reports with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, our common stock will not be able to be traded on the OTCQB.
Although our common stock trades on the OTCQB, a regular trading market for our common stock may not be sustained in the future. OTC Markets limits quotation on the OTCQB to securities of issuers that are current in their reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. If we fail to remain current in the filing of our reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission, our common stock will not be able to be traded on the OTCQB. The OTCQB is an inter-dealer market that provides significantly less liquidity than a national securities exchange or automated quotation system.
Because our common stock is considered a “penny stock,” any investment in our shares is considered to be a high-risk investment and is subject to restrictions on marketability.
Our common stock is considered a “penny stock” on the OTC Markets as it currently trades for less than $5.00 per share. The OTC Market system is generally regarded as a less efficient trading market than the Nasdaq Capital or Global Markets.
The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in “penny stocks.” Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the Nasdaq system, provided that current price and volume information respecting transactions in these securities is provided by the exchange or system). The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to effecting a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the Securities and Exchange Commission, which specifies information about penny stocks and the nature and significance of risks of the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and any salesperson in the transaction, and monthly account statements indicating the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. In addition, the penny stock rules require that, prior to effecting a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our common stock.
Because we have no plans to pay dividends on our common stock, stockholders must look solely to appreciation of our common stock to realize a gain on their investments.
We do not anticipate paying any dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. We currently intend to retain future earnings, if any, to finance the expansion of our business. Our future dividend policy is within the discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon various factors, including our business, financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, and investment opportunities. Accordingly, stockholders must look solely to appreciation of our common stock to realize a gain on their investment. This appreciation may not occur.
Certain provisions of Nevada law and of our corporate charter may inhibit a potential acquisition of our Company, and this could depress our stock price.
Nevada corporate law includes provisions that could delay, defer, or prevent a change in control of our company or our management. These provisions could discourage information contests and make it more difficult for our stockholders to elect directors and take other corporate actions. As a result, these provisions could limit the price that investors are willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock. For example:
(i) | without prior stockholder approval, our board of directors has the authority to issue one or more classes of preferred stock with rights senior to those of our common stock and to determine the rights, privileges, and inference of that preferred stock; |
(ii) | there is no cumulative voting in the election of directors, which would otherwise allow less than a majority of stockholders to elect director candidates; and |
(iii) | stockholders cannot call a special meeting of stockholders. |
15 |
Our indemnification of our directors and officers may limit the rights of our stockholders.
While our board of directors and officers are generally accountable to our stockholders and us, the liability of our directors and officers to all parties is limited in certain respects under applicable state law and our articles of incorporation and bylaws, as in effect. Further, we have agreed or may agree to indemnify our directors and officers against liabilities not attributable to certain limited circumstances. This limitation of liability and indemnity may limit rights that our stockholders would otherwise have to seek redress against our directors and officers.
Additional issuances of stock options and warrants, convertible notes, and stock grants will cause additional substantial dilution to our stockholders.
Given our limited cash, liquidity, and revenues, it is likely that in the future, as in the past, we will issue additional warrants, stock grants, and convertible debt to finance our future business operations and acquisitions and strategic relationships. The issuance of additional shares of common stock, the exercise of warrants, and the conversion of debt to stock could cause additional dilution to our stockholders and could have further adverse effects on the market price for our securities or on our ability to obtain future financing. The January 10, 2018 increase in our authorized shares from two billion to ten billion increasesincreased the magnitude of this risk substantially.
The amount of authorized common stock may result in management implementing anti-takeover procedures by issuing new securities.
The proportion of unissued authorized shares to issued shares could, under certain circumstances, have an anti-takeover effect, for example, by permitting issuances that would dilute the stock ownership of a person seeking to effect a change in the composition of our board of directors or contemplating a tender offer or other transaction for the combination of our company with another entity. Although, we have no current plans to issue additional stock for this purpose, management could use the additional shares that are now available or that may be available after a possible further recapitalization to resist or frustrate a third-party transaction. Generally, no stockholder approval would be necessary for the issuance of all or any portion of the additional shares of common stock unless required by law or any rules or regulations to which we are subject.
Depending upon the consideration per share for any subsequent issuance of common stock, such issuance could have a dilutive effect on those stockholders who paid a higher consideration per share for their stock. Also, future issuances of common stock will increase the number of outstanding shares, thereby decreasing the percentage ownership—for voting, distributions, and all other purposes—represented by existing shares of common stock. The availability for issuance of the additional shares of common stock may be viewed as having the effect of discouraging an unsolicited attempt by another person or entity to acquire control of us. Although our board has no present intention of doing so, our authorized but unissued common stock could be issued in one or more transactions that would make a takeover of us more difficult or costly and, therefore, less likely. Holders of our common stock do not have any preemptive rights to acquire any additional securities issued by us.
Our stockholders may not recoup all or any portion of their investment upon our dissolution.
In the event of a liquidation, dissolution, or winding-up of our company, whether voluntary or involuntary, our net remaining proceeds and/or assets, after paying all of our debts and liabilities, will be distributed to the holders of common stock on a pro-rata basis. We cannot assure that we will have available assets to pay to the holders of common stock any amounts upon such a liquidation, dissolution, or winding-up of our company. In this event, our stockholders could lose some or all of their investment.
The sale of any additional shares of our common stock to YAII PNTriton may cause dilution, and the sale of the shares of common stock acquired by the selling stockholders,Triton, or the perception that such sales may occur, could cause the price of our common stock to fall.
On December 29, 2018, we entered into certain agreements with Triton Funds, which agreements were amended April 11, 2019. Under our SEDA,these agreements we may put shares to YAII PN, Ltd. at our discretion until December 2020. We generally have the rightability to control the timing and amount of any salesrequire Triton to purchase up to $1.0 million of our common stock between the date that the effective registration statement. Up to 100,000,000 shares to YAII PN, except that, pursuant toof our common stock are being offered for resale under the termsrespective prospectus.

The purchase of shares by Triton is subject to YAII PN if suchcertain limitations, including that Investor cannot purchase any shares that would result in its beneficial ownership equalingit owning more than 4.99%4.9% of our outstanding common stock.
After YAII PNTriton has acquired our shares, it may sell all, some, or none of those shares. Therefore, sales to YAII PNTriton by us could result in substantial dilution to the interests of other holders of our common stock. Additionally, the sale of a substantial number of shares of our common stock to YAII PN,Triton, or the anticipation of such sales, could make it more difficult for us to sell equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and at a price that we might otherwise wish.

Depending on market liquidity at the time, sales of these shares may cause the trading price of our common stock to fall. To date, Triton has purchased 39,215,648 shares of our common stock for $325,000.
As of June 27, 2019 the Company has ceased selling additional shares of our common stock to Triton by mutual agreement between the Company and Triton.

Our Common Stock is subject to quotation on the OTCQB under the trading symbol “INVU”. An investor may find it difficult to obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of the Common Stock and trading of our Common Stock may be extremely sporadic. A more active market for the Common Stock may never develop. In addition, if we fail to meet the criteria set forth in SEC regulations, various requirements would be imposed by law on broker-dealers who sell our securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors. Consequently, such regulations may deter broker-dealers from recommending or selling the Common Stock, which may further affect its liquidity. This would also make it more difficult for us to raise additional capital.
Until our Common Stock is listed on the NASDAQ or another stock exchange, we expect that our Common Stock will continue to be eligible to trade on the OTCQB market where our stockholders may find it more difficult to dispose of shares or obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of our Common Stock. Furthermore, in order to remain subject to quotation on the OTCQB, the trading price of our Common Stock must maintain certain trading levels, which, in not maintained, could result in our Common Stock being relegated to the OTC Pink. In such event, we will have to again qualify and make applications for quotation on the OTCQB, and there can be no assurance that our Common Stock will be accepted for the OTCQB.
Our Common stock is subject to the “Penny Stock” rules of the SEC and the trading market in our stock is limited, which makes transactions in our stock cumbersome and may reduce the value of an investment.
The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Rule 15g-9 which establishes the definition of a “penny stock,” for the purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require:
● | That a broker or dealer approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks; and |
● | The broker or dealer receives from the investor a written agreement to the transaction, setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased. |
In order to approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must:
● | Obtain financial information and investment experience objectives of the person; and |
● | Make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and the person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks. |
The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prescribed by the Commission relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form:
● | Sets forth the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination; and |
● | That the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction. |
Generally, brokers may be less willing to execute transactions in securities subject to the “penny stock” rules. This may make it more difficult for investors to dispose of our Common stock and cause a decline in the five consecutivemarket value of our stock.
Disclosure also must be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in both public offerings and in secondary trading days immediately following our deliveryand about the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of an advance notice. YAII PN hasfraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.
Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) sales practice requirements may limit a financial incentiveshareholder’s ability to buy and sell our common stock immediately upon receiving the shares to realize the profit equalstock.
In addition to the difference between“penny stock” rules described above, FINRA has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the discounted priceinvestment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low-priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low-priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our Common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares.

Our common stock may be thinly traded, sale of your holding may take a considerable amount of time.
The shares of our Common Stock, from time-to-time, may be thinly-traded on the OTCQB Market, meaning that the number of persons interested in purchasing our Common Stock at or near bid prices at any given time may be relatively small or non-existent. Consequently, there may be periods of several days or more when trading activity in our shares is minimal or non-existent, as compared to a seasoned issuer which has a large and steady volume of trading activity that will generally support continuous sales without an adverse effect on share price. We cannot give you any assurance that a broader or more active public trading market for our Common Stock will develop or be sustained, or that current trading levels will be sustained. Due to these conditions, we can give you no assurance that you will be able to sell your shares at or near bid prices or at all if you need money or otherwise desire to liquidate your shares.
Shares eligible for future sale may adversely affect the market.
From time to time, certain of our stockholders may be eligible to sell all or some of their shares of Common Stock by means of ordinary brokerage transactions in the open market pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, subject to certain limitations. In general, pursuant to amended Rule 144, non-affiliate stockholders may sell freely after six months subject only to the current public information requirement. Affiliates may sell after six months subject to the Rule 144 volume, manner of sale (for equity securities), current public information and notice requirements. To date, there were 121,345,168 shares reserved underlying outstanding convertible notes, which represent a significant multiple of from 4 to 10 times the number of shares actually subject to conversion under the terms of the outstanding convertible notes. Any substantial sales of our Common Stock pursuant to Rule 144 may have a material adverse effect on the market price of our Common Stock.
If YAII PN sells the shares,we fail to maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting, the price of our common stock could decrease. If our stock price decreases, YAII PNmay be adversely affected.
Our internal control over financial reporting may have a further incentiveweaknesses and conditions that could require correction or remediation, the disclosure of which may have an adverse impact on the price of our Common Stock. We are required to sellestablish and maintain appropriate internal controls over financial reporting. Failure to establish those controls, or any failure of those controls once established, could adversely affect our public disclosures regarding our business, prospects, financial condition or results of operations. In addition, management’s assessment of internal controls over financial reporting may identify weaknesses and conditions that need to be addressed in our internal controls over financial reporting or other matters that may raise concerns for investors. Any actual or perceived weaknesses and conditions that need to be addressed in our internal control over financial reporting or disclosure of management’s assessment of our internal controls over financial reporting may have an adverse impact on the sharesprice of our Common Stock.
Our annual and quarterly results may fluctuate, which may cause substantial fluctuations in our common stock that it holds. These salesprice.
Our annual and quarterly operating results may in the future fluctuate significantly depending on factors including the timing of purchase orders, new product releases by us and other companies, gain or loss of significant customers, price discounting of our product, the timing of expenditures, product delivery requirements and economic conditions. Revenues related to our product are required to be recognized upon satisfaction of all applicable revenue recognition criteria. The recognition of revenues from our product is dependent on several factors, including, but not limited to, the terms of any license agreement and the timing of implementation of our products by our customers.
Any unfavorable change in these or other factors could have a further impactmaterial adverse effect on our operating results for a particular quarter or year, which may cause downward pressure on our Common stock price. We expect quarterly and annual fluctuations to continue for the foreseeable future.
PRICE RANGE OF COMMON STOCK AND DIVIDEND POLICYWe are subject to compliance with securities law, which exposes us to potential liabilities, including potential rescission rights.
Market InformationWe have offered and sold our Common Stock to investors pursuant to certain exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) as well as those of various state securities laws. The basis for relying on such exemptions is factual; that is, the applicability of such exemptions depends upon our conduct and that of those persons contacting prospective investors and making the Offering. We have not received a legal opinion to the effect that any of our prior Offerings were exempt from registration under any federal or state law. Instead, we have relied upon the operative facts as the basis for such exemptions, including information provided by investors themselves.
The following table sets forthIf any prior offering did not qualify for such exemption, an investor would have the range of low and high closing sale prices for our common stock for eachright to rescind its purchase of the periods indicated as reportedsecurities if it so desired. It is possible that if an investor should seek rescission, such investor would succeed. A comparable situation prevails under state law in those states where the securities may be offered without registration in reliance on the partial preemption from the registration or qualification provisions of such state statutes. If investors were successful in seeking rescission, we would face severe financial demands that could adversely affect our business and summarizedoperations. Additionally, if we did not in fact qualify for the exemptions upon which it has relied, we may become subject to significant fines and penalties imposed by the OTCQB:SEC and state securities agencies.

HoldersWe are authorized to issue 10,000,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $0.001 par value per share. To date, there were 3,013,490,408 shares of Common Stock outstanding. Additional shares may be issued upon the conversion of any outstanding convertible notes or convertible notes issued in the future, or otherwise authorized for issuance by our board of directors, from time-to-time, without further stockholder approval. The issuance of large numbers of shares of commonCommon Stock, possibly at below market prices, is likely to result in substantial dilution to the interests of other stockholders. In addition, issuances of large numbers of shares may adversely affect the market price of our Common stock.

The Board of Directors is authorized to share pro rata in dividends and distributionsprovide for the commonissuance of unissued shares of preferred stock when, as,in one or more series, and if declared byto fix the number of shares and to determine the rights, preferences and privileges thereof.

As of the date of this prospectus, we had 2,000,000 authorized but unissued shares of Series B Preferred. The Series B Preferred offered hereby will be fully paid and nonassessable. Our Board may, without the approval of holders of the Series B Preferred or our Common Stock, designate additional series of authorized preferred stock ranking junior to or on parity with the Series B Preferred and authorize the issuance of such shares. Designation of preferred stock ranking senior to the Series B Preferred will require approval of the holders of Series B Preferred, as described below in “Voting Rights.”
We have notnever paid anycash dividends on our common stock and intenddo not anticipate doing so in the foreseeable future.
We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our Common Stock. We currently plan to retain any earnings if any, to finance the development and expansiongrowth of our business. Future dividend policy is subjectbusiness rather than to pay cash dividends on our Common Stock. Nevertheless, we are required to pay cash dividends of 13% on our Series B Preferred, based upon the discretionStated Value of $25 per share. Payments of any cash dividends in the future, other than on our shares of Series B Preferred, will depend on our financial condition, results of operations and capital requirements, as well as other factors deemed relevant by our board of directors.
The Nevada Revised Statute contains provisions that could discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company, prevent attempts to replace or remove current management and reduce the market price of our stock.
Provisions in our articles of incorporation and bylaws may discourage, delay or prevent a merger or acquisition that our stockholders may consider favorable. For example, our certificate of incorporation authorizes our board of directors to issue up to ten million shares of “blank check” preferred stock. As a result, without further stockholder approval, the board of directors has the authority to attach special rights, including voting and dividend rights, to this preferred stock. With these rights, preferred stockholders could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us.
We are also subject to the anti-takeover provisions of the NRS. Depending on the number of residents in the state of Nevada who own our shares, we could be subject to the provisions of Sections 78.378 et seq. of the Nevada Revised Statutes which, unless otherwise provided in the Company’s articles of incorporation or by-laws, restricts the ability of an acquiring person to obtain a controlling interest of 20% or more of our voting shares. Our articles of incorporation and by-laws do not contain any provision which would currently keep the change of control restrictions of Section 78.378 from applying to us.
We are subject to the provisions of Sections 78.411 et seq. of the Nevada Revised Statutes. In general, this statute prohibits a publicly held Nevada corporation from engaging in a “combination” with an “interested stockholder” for a period of three years after the date of the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder, unless the combination or the transaction by which the person became an interested stockholder is approved by the corporation’s board of directors before the person becomes an interested stockholder. After the expiration of the three-year period, the corporation may engage in a combination with an interested stockholder under certain circumstances, including if the combination is approved by the board of directors and/or stockholders in a prescribed manner, or if specified requirements are met regarding consideration. The term “combination” includes mergers, asset sales and other transactions resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. Subject to certain exceptions, an “interested stockholder” is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns, or within three years did own, 10% or more of the corporation’s voting stock. A Nevada corporation may “opt out” from the application of Section 78.411 et seq. through a provision in its articles of incorporation or by-laws. We have not “opted out” from the application of this section.
Our publicly filed reports are subject to review by the SEC, and any significant changes or amendments required as a result of any such review may result in material liability to us and may have a material adverse impact on the trading price of the Company’s common stock.
The reports of publicly traded companies are subject to review by the SEC from time to time for the purpose of assisting companies in complying with applicable disclosure requirements, and the SEC is required to undertake a comprehensive review of a company’s reports at least once every three years under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. SEC reviews may be initiated at any time. We could be required to modify, amend or reformulate information contained in prior filings as a result of an SEC review. Any modification, amendment or reformulation of information contained in such reports could be significant and result in material liability to us and have a material adverse impact on the trading price of the Company’s Common Stock.

We estimate that the net proceeds to us from the sale of all of the 2 million Units in this Offering will be approximately $45,500,000, based on the public Unit Offering Price of $25 per Unit, after deducting our estimated Offering expenses, including placement agent commissions of 9%, or approximately $4,500,000, assuming all of the Units are sold as a direct result of the selling efforts and introductions of placement agents. We will immediately pay the Escrow Agent an amount equal to 39% of the gross proceeds (or $9.75 per Unit), to be held by the Escrow Agent, which amount is equal to the dividends of 13% per annum of $3.25 per share of Series B Preferred, for a period of three years, for the purpose of ensuring a fund will be available to pay investors the dividends of 13% during the first three years from the date of issuance on the shares of Series B Preferred.
We plan to use the remaining net proceeds to pay our indebtedness of approximately $2,190,000 as of the date of this Prospectus and any balance will be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes, which may include platform development, general and administrative matters, and capital expenditures. We may also use a portion of the net proceeds for the acquisition of, or investment in, technologies, solutions, or businesses that complement our business. As of the date of this prospectus, we do not have any understandings to acquire any businesses. Because this is a best effort Offering with no minimum, we cannot predict how much money we will ultimately raise. Our plan is to have an initial closing of the Offering after the sale of 200,000 Units, resulting in gross proceeds of $5.0 million, in order to qualify for quotation of our Units, Series B Preferred and Warrants on the OTCQB.
We anticipate an approximate allocation of the use of net proceeds assuming we raise 25%, 50%, 75% or 100% of the maximum offering amount as follows:

Other than as discussed above, we have not allocated any specific portion of the net proceeds to any particular purpose, and our management will have broad discretion in the allocation of the net proceeds. Furthermore, the amount and timing of our actual expenditures will depend on numerous factors, including the cash used in or generated by our operations, the level of our expected sales and marketing activities and the attractiveness of any additional acquisitions or investments. Pending these uses, we intend to invest the net proceeds that we receive from this Offering in short-term, investment-grade interest-bearing securities, such as money market accounts, certificates of deposit, commercial paper, and guaranteed obligations of the U.S. government.
If in the future we receive proceeds from the exercise of the Warrants, we expect such proceeds will be contributed to working capital and will be used for general corporate purposes.
We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our Common Stock or any other shares of capital stock. Except for the 13% dividends payable to the holders of Series B Preferred from the Escrow Account on a monthly basis, equal to $3.25 per share on an annual basis, we currently intend to retain any future earnings and do not expect to pay any dividends on any other securities, including Common Stock for the foreseeable future. Any future determination to declare cash dividends (other than on the Series B Preferred) will be made at the discretion of our Board, subject to applicable laws, and will depend uponon a number of factors, including future revenues,our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, overall financial condition,contractual restrictions, general business conditions, and such other factors asthat our boardBoard may deem relevant. Further Nevada law limits when we can pay dividends on our securities. Further our continuing losses require us to use funds we receive in financings to meet our working capital needs. See “Description of directors deems relevant.Offered Securities – Dividends.”

This prospectus relates to shares of our common stock that may be offered and sold from time to time by the selling stockholders. We will not receive any proceeds upon the sale of shares by the selling stockholders in this offering. However, we may receive gross proceeds of up to $5.0 million under the SEDA with YAII PN, Ltd., assuming that we sell the full amount of our common stock that we have the right, but not the obligation, to sell to it under the SEDA. See “Plan of Distribution” on page 37 in this prospectus for more information.
We currently expect to use the net proceeds from the sale of shares to YAII PN under the SEDA to further develop our products, reduce current liabilities, and fund other general corporate purposes. We will have broad discretion in determining how we will allocate the proceeds from any sales to YAII PN.
Even if we sell $5.0 million in shares of our common stock to YAII PN pursuant to the SEDA, we will need to obtain additional financing in the future in order to fully fund all of our planned activities. We may seek additional capital in the private and public equity or debt markets, pursue business development activities and business combinations to continue and expand our operations, respond to competitive pressures, develop new products and services, and to support new strategic partnerships. We are evaluating additional equity financing opportunities on an ongoing basis and may execute them when appropriate. However, we cannot assure that we can consummate such a transaction or consummate a transaction at favorable pricing.

The sale of additional common stock to YAII PN Ltd. in accordance with the SEDA will substantially increase the number of shares we will have outstanding and correspondingly dilute the percentage interest in us of our existing stockholders, including persons purchasing common stock in this offering.
Our net tangible book value on September 30, 2017, not adjusted to reflect any changes in our financial condition since that date, was $(3,454,750), or approximately $(0.0018) per share. “Net tangible book value” is total assets minus the sum of liabilities and intangible assets. “Net tangible book value per share” is net tangible book value divided by the total number of shares outstanding before the offering.
The following table illustrates the dilution, or the difference between the offering price per share, assuming an offering price of $0.07 per share, and the net tangible book value per share as of September 30, 2017, as adjusted to reflect the receipt of net proceeds from the sale of shares to YAII PN Ltd. at a price equivalent to 87.5% of the lowest daily volume weighted average price of the common stock in the five consecutive trading days immediately following our delivery of an advance notice, but to no other events subsequent to September 30, 2017:

The sale of additional common stock to YAII PN in accordance with the SEDA will have a dilutive impact on our stockholders. In future periods our net loss per share could increase, the net tangible book value of our common stock could decrease, and the market price of our common stock could decline. In addition, the lower our stock price is at the time we exercise our advance notice, the more10,043,480 shares of our common stock we will have to issue to YAII PN in order to drawdown pursuant to the SEDA.

Results of Operations
Revenue
Revenue decreased $222,461, or 63%, from $353,9262019 consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2016, to $131,465 for2019.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the year endedaccounts of Investview, Inc., and our wholly owned subsidiaries, Kuvera, LLC, Investment Tools & Training, LLC, Apex Tek, LLC (formerly Razor Data, LLC), S.A.F.E. Management, LLC, SafeTek, LLC (formerly WealthGen Global, LLC), United Games, LLC, United League, LLC, and Kuvera France S.A.S. Through March 31, 2017. The decrease2019 we had determined that one affiliated entity, Kuvera LATAM S.A.S., which we previously conducted business with, was due to a lack of fundingvariable interest entity and our inability to spend marketing dollars and attract new customers. Because of our cash flow challenges, we were unablethe primary beneficiary of the entity’s activities, which are similar to keep our technology updated, nor could we make improvements to such, therefore our existing customer base deteriorated. Furthermore, during the year endedthose of Kuvera, LLC. As a result, through March 31, 2017, management focused its efforts on2019 we had consolidated the acquisitionaccounts of Wealth Generators, Inc., and, therefore, spent less time on top line growth.
Operating Costs
Operating costs decreased $1,034,903, or 51%, from $2,018,739 forthis variable interest entity into the year ended March 31, 2016, to $983,836 foraccompanying consolidated financial statements. Further, because the year ended March 31, 2017. This was due toCompany did not have any ownership interest in this variable interest entity, the Company had allocated the contributed capital in the variable interest entity as a decrease in our costcomponent of sales and servicenoncontrolling interest. As of $40,227 and a decrease in selling, general, and administrative costs of $994,676. The decreases could mostly be explained by our overall reduction inApril 1, 2019 Kuvera LATAM S.A.S. had no operations and our decreasing revenues. Dueceased to our cash flow shortages,exist, therefore, as of that date, no consolidation of the entity is necessary and we lacked the ability to spend money and started falling behind with our creditors, thus we were forced to cut costs and reduce expenditures where possible.
Other Income and Expense
Other income and (expense) went from $(439,617) for the year ended March 31, 2016, to $2,606,038 for the year ended March 31, 2017. For the year ended March 31, 2016, the other expense was a result of interest expense of $660,498 and a loss on disposal of subsidiaries of $26,058, offset byrecorded a gain on derivative valuationdeconsolidation of $246,939. Comparatively, for$53,739 to eliminate the year ended March 31, 2017, the other income was made up of a gain on debt extinguishment of $3,170,326, a gain on derivative valuation of $84,284, offset by interest expense of $648,573.intercompany account with Kuvera LATAM S.A.S. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
While the interest expense remained fairly consistent between years, there was a $162,655 decreaseFinancial Statement Reclassification
Certain account balances from prior periods have been reclassified in the gain on derivative valuation, which was mostly duethese consolidated financial statements to our note holders converting their notes into shares during the year ended March 31, 2017. As a result of the conversions, derivative liabilities were extinguished through equity issuances and there were fewer changes in the derivative liability for valuations fromconform to current period to period.classifications.
The $3,170,326 increase in the gain on debt extinguishment for the year ended March 31, 2017, could mostly be explained by our note holders converting their notes into shares. Specifically, we issued 72,709,924 shares of our common stock in settlement of debt, wherein principal, accrued interest, and derivative liabilities were extinguished in the amounts of $1,994,362, $414,160, and $128,490, respectively, and we recognized a gain on the settlement of debt in the amount of $2,163,813. In addition to the note conversions, we were also able to issue 6,072,200 shares of common stock with a value of $31,775 for legal and consulting services, of which $18,390 was for current year services and $173,647 was for services incurred in previous periods, therefore, we recorded a gain on settlement of debt for $160,262. Another $630,642 of the gain could be explained by our writing off previously estimated tax liabilities, and lastly, our chief financial officer forgave $60,853 of liabilities owed to him, which also contributed to the recorded gain.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
During fiscal year 2017, we reported net income of $1,753,666. However, this was mostly due to our gain on debt extinguishment of $3,170,326, as we reported net loss from operations of $852,371. Cash and cash equivalents were $3,550, a decrease of $4,147 from the previous year of $7,697.
As of March 31, 2017, our current liabilities exceeded our current assets equal to a working capital deficit of $976,307. A year ago, at March 31, 2016, the working capital deficit was $2,823,549. Most significantly, our debt was reduced through conversions into common stock, stock issued for liabilities and for services, and debt forgiven or written off during the year ended March 31, 2017.
The above matters, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. During the year ended March 31, 2017, we raised $92,500 in cash proceeds from the issuance of a notes and entering into a based factoring agreement, net of repayments, and received proceeds from the sale of stock of $157,500. Additionally, effective April 1, 2017, in conjunction with a Contribution Agreement, Wealth Generators, LLC became our wholly owned subsidiary through a reverse-merger and we effectively succeeded our operations to Wealth Generators. Subsequent to March 31, 2017, Wealth Generators received cash proceeds of $825,000 and $30,000 from new debt and equity financing arrangements, respectively.
Our primary source of operating funds since inception has been cash proceeds from the private placement of common stock and proceeds from private placements of convertible and other debt. However, through Wealth Generators, we plan to reduce obligations and fund our business with cash flow provided by operations. We also intend to raise additional capital through private placements of debt and equity securities, but there can be no assurance that these funds will be available on terms acceptable to us, or will be sufficient to enable us to fully complete our development activities. If we are unable to fund our business through operations or raise sufficient additional funds, we will have to develop and implement a plan to further extend payables, reduce overhead, or scale back our current business plan until sufficient additional capital is raised to support increased operations. There can be no assurance that such a plan will be successful.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of March 31, 2017, there were no off balance sheet arrangements.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect our reported assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other assumptions we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Future events, however, may differ markedly from our current expectations and assumptions. While there are a number of significant accounting policies affecting our consolidated financial statements; we believe the following critical accounting policy involves the most complex, difficult and subjective estimates and judgments.
Revenue Recognition

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2019
(Unaudited)
For revenue from product sales and services, we recognize revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”),subtopic 605-10,Revenue Recognition, which requires that four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered; (3) the selling price is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. Determination of criteria (3) and (4) are based on management’s judgments regarding the fixed nature of the selling prices of the products delivered and the collectability of those amounts. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded.
We defer any revenue for which the product or services have not been delivered or that is subject to refund until such time that we and the customer jointly determine that the product has been delivered or no refund will be required.
Revenue arises from subscriptions to the websites/software, workshops, online workshops, and training and coaching/counseling services for which the customers are charged a monthly subscription fee for access to the online training and courses and website/data. Revenues are recognized in the month the product and services are delivered.
We sell our products separately and in various bundles that include website/data subscriptions, educational workshops, online workshops and training, one-on-one coaching and counseling sessions, along with other products and services. The deferral policy for each of the different types of revenues is summarized as follows:
Use of Estimates
The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cryptocurrencies
We hold cryptocurrency-denominated assets (“cryptocurrencies”) and include them in our consolidated balance sheet as other current assets. We record cryptocurrencies at fair market value and recognize the change in the fair value of our cryptocurrencies as an unrealized gain or loss in the consolidated statement of operations. As of December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2019 the fair value of our cryptocurrencies was $156,448 and $142,061, respectively. During the nine months ended December 31, 2019 we recorded $(657) and $8,445 as a total realized and unrealized gain (loss) on cryptocurrency, respectively. During the nine months ended December 31, 2018 we recorded $16,363 and $95,810 as a total realized and unrealized gain (loss) on cryptocurrency, respectively.

Fixed Assets
Fixed assets are stated at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. When retired or otherwise disposed, the carrying value and accumulated depreciation of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values.

Stock-Based CompensationLong-Lived Assets – Intangible Assets & License Agreement
We account for our stock-based awardsintangible assets and long-term license agreement in accordance with ASC subtopic 718-10,Compensation, whichSubtopic 350-30, General Intangibles Other Than Goodwill, and ASC Subtopic 360-10-05, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. ASC Subtopic 350-30 requires a fair value measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards madeassets to our employees and directors, including employee stock options and restricted stock awards. We estimatebe measured based on the fair value of the consideration given or the fair value of the assets (or net assets) acquired, whichever is more clearly evident and, thus, more reliably measurable. Further, ASC Subtopic 350-30 requires an intangible asset to be amortized over its useful life and for the useful life to be evaluated every reporting period to determine whether events or circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining period of amortization. If the estimate of useful life is changed the remaining carrying amount of the intangible asset is amortized prospectively over the revised remaining useful life. Costs of internally developing, maintaining, or restoring intangible assets are recognized as an expense when incurred.
In June of 2017 we issued 80,000,000 shares of common stock with a value of $2,256,000 for a 15-year license agreement. Annual amortization over the 15-year life is expected to be $150,400 per year. Amortization recognized for the nine months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 was $113,315 and $113,315, respectively, and the long-term license agreement was recorded at a net value of $1,869,905 and $1,983,220 as of December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2019, respectively.
In June of 2018 we purchased United Games, LLC and United League, LLC and recorded the transaction as a business combination. Intangible assets acquired in the business combination were recorded at fair value on the date of acquisition and are being amortized on a straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. During the nine months ended December 31, 2019 we impaired the value of the customer contracts/relationships originally acquired.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
We have adopted ASC Subtopic 360-10, Property, Plant and Equipment (“ASC 360-10”). ASC 360-10 requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles held and used by the Company be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable or when the historical cost carrying value of an asset may no longer be appropriate. Events relating to recoverability may include significant unfavorable changes in business conditions, recurring losses, or a forecasted inability to achieve break-even operating results over an extended period.
The Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets based upon future net cash flows expected to result from the asset, including eventual disposition. Should impairment in value be indicated, the carrying value of intangible assets will be adjusted and an impairment loss is recorded equal to the difference between the asset’s carrying value and fair value or disposable value. During the nine months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 impairment of $627,452 and $0 was recognized, respectively.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, based on our principal or, in the absence of a principal, most advantageous market for the specific asset or liability.
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles provide for a three-level hierarchy of inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value, defined as follows:
Level 1: | Inputs that are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity can access. | ||
Level 2: | Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability, including: |
- | quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; | |
- | quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; | |
- | inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and | |
- | inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. |
Level 3: | Inputs that are unobservable and reflect management’s own assumptions about the inputs market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best information available in the circumstances (e.g., internally derived assumptions surrounding the timing and amount of expected cash flows). |
Our financial instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and debt. We have determined that the book value of our outstanding financial instruments as of December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2019, approximates the fair value due to their short-term nature.

Sale and Leaseback
Through our wholly-owned subsidiary, APEX Tex, LLC, we sell high powered data processing equipment (“APEX”) to our customers and they lease the equipment back to SAFETek, LLC, another of our wholly-owned subsidiaries. We account for these transactions under ASC 842-40 where the leaseback has been deemed a sales-type lease due to the lease term generally covering the entire economic life of the equipment and our likelihood to purchase the asset at the end of the lease term. In accordance with ASC 842-40 we have recorded the data processing equipment as a fixed asset on our balance sheet and we have accounted for the amounts received for the equipment as a financial liability, in other liabilities on our balance sheet. Further, we will recognize interest on the financial liability over the term of the lease to ensure the financial liability equates to the total amounts to be paid over the life of the lease.
During the nine months ended December 31, 2019 we had the following activity related to our sale and leaseback transactions:
Proceeds from sales of APEX | $ | 9,693,141 | ||
Interest recognized on financial liability | 877,352 | |||
Payments made for leased equipment | (1,341,100 | ) | ||

As of December 31, 2019, we have received proceeds of $607,205 in additional deposits for APEX sales, which has been recorded in the customer advance amount shown on our balance sheet.
Revenue Recognition
Subscription Revenue
The majority of our revenue is generated by subscription sales and payment is received at the time of purchase. We recognize subscription revenue in accordance with ASC 606-10 where revenue is measured based on a consideration specified in a contract with a customer and recognized when we satisfy the performance obligation specified in each contract. Our performance obligation is to provide services over a fixed subscription period, therefore we recognize revenue ratably over the subscription period and deferred revenue is recorded for the portion of the subscription period subsequent to each reporting date. Additionally, we offer a 10-day trial period to subscription customers, during which a full refund can be requested if a customer does not like the product. Revenues are deferred during the trial period as collection is not probable until that time has passed. Revenues are presented net of refunds, sales incentives, credits, and known and estimated credit card chargebacks.

Equipment Sales
We generate revenue from the sale of high-speed computer processing equipment that is used for any of the following intense processing activities: protein folding, CGI rendering, Game Streaming, Machine & Deep Learning, Mining, Independent Financial Verification, and general high-speed computing. We recognize equipment sales revenue in accordance with ASC 606-10 where revenue is measured based on a consideration specified in a contract with a customer and recognized when we satisfy the performance obligation specified in each contract. Our performance obligation is to deliver an equipment package to our customers which includes hardware, software, and firmware and is drop-shipped to a hosting data center. We receive payment at the time of purchase and recognize revenue when the equipment package is delivered and ready for maintenance and hosting, which our customers arrange for, and obtain, from a separate third party that provides such services.
Cryptocurrency Mining Service Revenue
We generate revenue from the sale of cryptocurrency mining services to our customers through an arrangement with a third-party supplier. We recognize cryptocurrency mining service revenue in accordance with ASC 606-10 where revenue is measured based on a consideration specified in a contract with a customer and recognized when we satisfy the performance obligation specified in each contract. Our performance obligation is to arrange for the third-party to provide mining services to our customers and payment is received at the time of purchase, therefore revenue is recognized upon receipt of payment. We recognize revenue in the amount of the fee to which we are entitled to as an agent, or the amount of consideration that we retain after paying the third-party the consideration received in exchange for the services the third-party is to provide.
Mining Revenue
Through our wholly owned subsidiary, SAFETek, LLC, we lease equipment under a sales-type lease and use the equipment on blockchain networks to validate and add blocks of transactions to blockchain ledgers (commonly referred to as “mining”). As compensation for mining we are issued fees from processors and/or block rewards that are newly created cryptocurrency units granted to us. Our mining activities constitute our ongoing major and central operations of SAFETek, LLC. Because we do not have contracts, nor do we have customers associated with our mining revenue, we recognize revenue when fees and/or rewards are settled, or ultimately granted to us as a result of our mining activities.
Fee Revenue
We generate fee revenue from our customers through SAFE Management, our subsidiary licensed as a Registered Investment Advisor and Commodities Trading Advisor. We recognize fee revenue in accordance with ASC 606-10 where revenue is measured based on a consideration specified in a contract with a customer and recognized when we satisfy the performance obligation specified in each contract. Our performance obligation is to deliver fully managed trading services to individuals who do not meet the requirements of Qualified Investors and who lack the time to trade for themselves. We recognize fee revenue as our performance obligation is met and we receive payment for such advisory fees in the month following recognition.

Basic loss per share has been calculated based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Convertible debt, stock options, granted usingand warrants have been excluded as common stock equivalents in the Black-Scholes valuation model.

Lease Obligation
We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in the operating lease right-of-use asset account, the operating lease liability, current account, and the operating lease liability, long term account in our balance sheet. Right-of-use assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make estimateslease payments arising from the lease.
Operating lease right-of-use assets and assumptions including, among other things, estimates regardingliabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the lengthpresent value of time an employeelease payments over the lease term. For leases in which the rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. We have elected to not apply the recognition requirements of ASC 842 to short-term leases (leases with terms of twelve months or less). Lease terms include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will retain vested stock options before exercising them, the estimated volatility of our common stock price, and the number of optionsexercise that will be forfeited prior to vesting. The fair valueoption. Lease expense for operating lease arrangements is then amortizedrecognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periodslease term.

NOTE 3 – RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
There are no recently issued accounting pronouncements that the Company has not yet adopted that they believe are applicable or would have a material impact on the financial statements of the awards,Company.
NOTE 4 – GOING CONCERN AND LIQUIDITY
Our financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern that contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. We have incurred significant recurring losses, which have resulted in an accumulated deficit of $33,684,432 as of December 31, 2019, along with a net loss of $8,587,449 for the nine months ended December 31, 2019. Additionally, as of December 31, 2019, we had cash of $263,600 and a working capital deficit of $10,938,623. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Historically we have relied on increasing revenues and new debt and equity financing to pay for operational expenses and debt as it came due. During the nine months ended December 31, 2019, we raised $2,177,452 in cash proceeds from new debt arrangements, raised $2,164,500 in cash proceeds from related parties, and received $825,000 from the sale of our common stock. Additionally, net cash provided by operations was $4,690,473 for the nine months ended December 31, 2019.
Since our acquisition of Wealth Generators in April of 2017 we have implemented a number of initiatives and we are beginning to see the positive impact of these actions. First, our largest subsidiary, Kuvera, has a bonus plan structure for distributors of our services which consistently paid out beyond our maximum threshold. Adjustments to this bonus plan have been made over the last 12 months. This resulted in a gradual reduction in bonus payouts which reduced our losses. Second, we expanded the objectives of Investview through the acquisition and creation of additional subsidiaries to increase our sources of income and creating business activities in new sectors which includes:
● | Fully licensing SAFE Management LLC as a Registered Investment Advisor and Commodities Trading Advisor. This was done so SAFE Management could offer fully managed trading services to individuals who lacked the time to trade for themselves and provide reasonable advisory fees and minimum investment amounts to service individuals who do not meet the requirements of Qualified Investors. | |
● | We acquired the assets of United Games LLC and United League LLC which provided us highly experienced management, programmers, marketing and compliance personnel along with key technology components such as a fully coded back office and trademarked FIREFAN app. We are still in the process of adapting their technology to Kuvera operations and working on various distribution plans for FIREFAN. | |
● | We changed the name of our subsidiary WealthGen Global, which was an unused entity, to SAFETek LLC in preparation for our entry into the high-performance computing space to meet the needs of 4IR (Fourth Industrial Revolution) business needs which includes mining, blockchain technologies, gaming, artificial intelligence and 3-Dimensional rendering. This will enable us to provide HPC services to small, medium and startup entities who require specialized high-speed processing but cannot afford the infrastructure. By leasing our processing to these companies, we will aid these entities in bringing their products, inventions, improvements to market. | |
● | We have designed a program known as APEX which enables individuals to purchase highly customized data processing equipment which SAFETek will lease from the purchasers for a fixed period of time at a fixed monthly lease payment.

Further, while we have reported reoccurring losses and have an operating capital deficiency, we have been able to establish multiple companies to create various revenue streams as we move forward. Our largest challenge is operational cash flow as lending arrangements continue to be expensive causing us to deploy incoming cash to prior debt. We continue to seek short term capital in arrangements that are partnership-based with elements of debt and equity combined. Additionally, our immediate focus is the continued reduction in losses by controlling expenses, increasing revenue, and generating additional revenue streams.
Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate our continuation as a going concern and the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities presented in the financial statements do not necessarily purport to represent realizable or settlement values. The financial statements do not include any adjustment that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 8 – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY (DEFICIT)
Preferred Stock
We are authorized to issue up to 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.001 and our Board of Directors has the authority to issue one or more classes of preferred stock with rights senior to those of common stock and to determine the rights, privileges and preferences of that preferred stock.
As of December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2019 we had no preferred stock issued or outstanding.
Common Stock
During the nine months ended December 31, 2019, we issued 59,215,648 shares of common stock in exchange for net proceeds of $825,000.
In conjunction with the sale of common stock during the year ended March 31, 2018, we provided a guarantee to certain individuals such that we would issue additional shares of our common stock if the average closing price of our common stock fell below $0.02 per share on the 20 days preceding the 18-month anniversary of the date the shares were originally sold. As a result of this guarantee, we had recorded $626,388 in accounts payable and accrued liabilities on our balance sheet as of March 31, 2018. During the year ended March 31, 2019, the 18-month anniversary passed without the common stock falling below the set threshold, therefore, we were released from the guarantee, and we increased additional paid-in capital by $525,000 to remove the previously recorded offering costs. During the nine months ended December 31, 2019, the 18-month anniversary passed without the common stock falling below the set threshold, therefore, we were released from the guarantee, and we increased additional paid-in capital by $101,387 to remove the previously recorded offering costs.
Also during the nine months ended December 31, 2019, we issued 241,000,000 shares of common stock, valued at $3,865,500 based on the market value on the day of issuance, to multiple employees for services and compensation, which is generallysubject to forfeiture if the employee is not in good standing at the time the shares are fully vested. Of the $3,865,500 value we recognized $1,844,639 as an expense during the nine months ending December 31, 2019 and the remaining $2,020,861 will be recognized ratably over the vesting term.

During the nine months ended December 31, 2019 we recorded a beneficial conversion feature of $1,000,000 related to a convertible promissory note entered into with a related party (see Note 5).

NOTE 9 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Litigation
In the ordinary course of business, we may be or have been involved in legal proceedings from time to time. Below is a description of all legal proceedings we were involved in during the nine months ended December 31, 2019.
● | In February 2018, we received a subpoena from the United States Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”). We complied with the terms of the subpoena, negotiated a resolution of this matter with the CFTC staff, and a final order was issued on September 14, 2018. Under the order, we are not admitting or denying any of the allegations, will pay a fine of $150,000, and have agreed not to act as an unregistered Commodities Trading Advisor in the future. As of December 31, 2019 we have paid all amounts owed to CFTC and no unpaid balance remains. | |
● | In April of 2019, we received a Summons and Complaint from Fibernet Corp making claims of unpaid invoices and breach of contracts entered into in February 2012 and January 2015 as RazorData Corp. Without admitting fault or liability, in June of 2019, we entered into an agreement with Fibernet Corp to settle all claims and release us from any future claims in exchange for a payment of $35,160 to avoid ongoing litigation related to this matter. |
NOTE 10 – OPERATING LEASE
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02,Leases. The new standard establishes a right-of-use (“ROU”) model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases. Leases are classified as either finance or operating with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the statement of operations. We adopted ASU No. 2016-02 on April 1, 2019. We did not record a lease asset and lease liability as of the adoption date as we had no lease arrangements or lease obligation at that time.
During the nine months ended December 31, 2019 we entered two operating leases for office space in Eatontown, New Jersey (the “Eatontown Lease”) and Kaysville, Utah (the “Kaysville Lease”). We have the option to extend the three year lease term of the Eatontown Lease for a period of one year. In addition, we are obligated to pay twelve monthly installments to cover an annual utility charge of $1.75 per rentable square foot for electric usage within the demised premises. As the lessor has the right to digitally meter and charge us accordingly, these payments were deemed variable and will be expensed as incurred. During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2019 the variable lease costs amounted to $831 and $1,385, respectively. At commencement of the Eatontown Lease, right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for new operating lease liabilities amounted to $110,097. We have the option to extend the twelve-and-a-half-month lease term of the Kaysville Lease for a period of one year. At commencement of the Kaysville Lease, right-of-use assets obtained in exchange for new operating lease liabilities amounted to $21,147.
Operating lease expense was $16,397 and $24,630 for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2019, respectively. Operating cash flows used for the operating leases during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2019 were $12,897 and $18,797, respectively. As of December 31, 2019, the weighted average remaining lease term was 2.34 years and the weighted average discount rate was 12%.

Results of Operations
Three Months Ended December 31, 2019 Compared to Three Months Ended December 31, 2018
Revenues
We recorded net revenue of $4,963,611 for the three months ended December 31, 2019, which was a decrease of $2,769,423 or 36%, from the prior period revenue of $7,733,034. This decrease was due to a minor loss of repeat subscription customers coupled with our lack of cryptocurrency service revenue. The lack of cryptocurrency revenue can be explained by our termination of the agent arrangement with a third-party supplier of crypotocurrency mining services.
Operating Costs and Expenses
We recorded operating costs and expenses of $6,702,907 for the three months ended December 31, 2019, which was a decrease of $1,272,015, or 16%, from the prior period’s operating costs and expenses of $7,974,922. The decrease can be fully explained by the decrease in commissions, which was a result of our bonus plans paying out beyond our maximum threshold in the prior period due to certain bonus programs in place, which has since been adjusted to reduce such payouts. For the three months ended December 31, 2019 commissions as a percent of total net revenue was 32%, versus 66% in the prior period.
ChangesOther Income and Expenses
We recorded other expense of $2,086,434 for the three months ended December 31, 2019, which was a difference of $1,878,614, or 904%, from the prior period other expense of $207,820. The change is due to the interest expense incurred in the three months ended December 31, 2019 of $1,794,623 versus only $206,007 incurred in the prior period.
43 |
Nine Months Ended December 31, 2019 Compared to Nine Months Ended December 31, 2018
Revenues
We recorded net revenue of $19,717,448 for the nine months ended December 31, 2019, which was a decrease of $3,625,155 or 16%, from the prior period revenue of $23,342,603. This decrease was due to a minor loss of repeat subscription customers coupled with our lack of cryptocurrency service revenue. The lack of cryptocurrency revenue can be explained by our termination of the agent arrangement with a third-party supplier of crypotocurrency mining services.
Operating Costs and Expenses
We recorded operating costs and expenses of $24,355,004 for the nine months ended December 31, 2019, which was a decrease of $1,872,691, or 7%, from the prior period’s operating costs and expenses of $26,227,695. This change is principally a result of a decrease of $6,494,247, or 38%, in commissions which was a result of our bonus plans paying out beyond our maximum threshold in the prior period due to certain bonus programs in place, which has since been adjusted to reduce such payouts. The decrease was offset by an increase in salary and related costs which was due to the Company recording $2,676,439 worth of stock for services and compensation.
Other Income and Expenses
We recorded other expense of $3,940,313 for the nine months ended December 31, 2019, which was a difference of $5,859,552, or 305%, from the prior period other income of $1,919,239. The change is due to the gain on bargain purchase recorded as a result of the United Games, LLC and United League, LLC acquisition that took place during the nine months ended December 31, 2018, as compared to no such gain in the prior period. Additionally, in the current period there was interest expense recorded of $5,536,354 offset by a gain on debt extinguishment of $1,725,384, whereas in the prior period interest expense was only $215,154 and there was a gain on debt extinguishment of $19,387.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
During the nine months ended December 31, 2019, we incurred a net loss of $8,587,449. This loss was funded by cash provided by operating activities of $4,690,473 offset by cash used in investing activities of $4,171,341 and cash used in financing activities of $389,212. As a result, our cash and cash equivalents increased by $129,956 to $263,600 as compared to $133,644 at the beginning of the fiscal year.
Our current liabilities exceeded our current assets (working capital deficit) by $10,938,623 as of December 31, 2019, as compared to $2,222,990 at March 31, 2019. The increase in the working capital deficit is due to an increase in our other current liabilities of $7,576,800 which is due to cash received for our APEX program, which results in the Company recording financial liabilities for amounts to be repaid under the program.
During the nine months ended December 31, 2019, we raised $2,177,452 in cash proceeds from new debt arrangements, raised $2,164,500 in cash proceeds from related parties, and received $825,000 from the sale of our common stock. Additionally, net cash provided by operations was $4,690,473 for the nine months ended December 31, 2019 due mostly do the receipt of $9,693,141 of cash received in from our APEX program.
Going Concern
These interim unaudited financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which assumes that adequate sources of financing will be obtained as required and that our assets will be realized and liabilities settled in the ordinary course of business. Accordingly, the interim unaudited financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability of assets and classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should we not be unable to continue as a going concern.
Our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2019, state that our historical losses, accumulated deficit, cash balance, and working capital deficit raise substantial doubts about our ability to continue as a going concern. Historically we have relied on increasing revenues and new debt and equity financing to pay for operational expenses and debt as it came due. Going forward, we plan to reduce obligations with cash flow provided by operational growth as we have been, and plan to continue, reducing bonus payouts, increasing sources of income and business activities in new sectors, and utilizing our acquired assets to generate positive cash flow and reduce debt. Additionally, we plan to pursue additional debt and equity financing and to find short term capital in arrangements that are partnership based with elements of debt and equity combined.

Critical Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations (Regulation S-X) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2019, are not necessarily indicative of the operating results that may be expected for the year ending March 31, 2020. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the March 31, 2019 consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2019.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Investview, Inc., and our wholly owned subsidiaries, Kuvera, LLC, Investment Tools & Training, LLC, Apex Tek, LLC (formerly Razor Data, LLC), S.A.F.E. Management, LLC, SafeTek, LLC (formerly WealthGen Global, LLC), United Games, LLC, United League, LLC, and Kuvera France S.A.S. Through March 31, 2019 we had determined that one affiliated entity, Kuvera LATAM S.A.S., which we previously conducted business with, was a variable interest entity and we were the primary beneficiary of the entity’s activities, which are similar to those of Kuvera, LLC. As a result, through March 31, 2019 we had consolidated the accounts of this variable interest entity into the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Further, because the Company did not have any ownership interest in this variable interest entity, the Company had allocated the contributed capital in the variable interest entity as a component of noncontrolling interest. As of April 1, 2019 Kuvera LATAM S.A.S. had no operations and ceased to exist, therefore, as of that date, no consolidation of the entity is necessary and we recorded a gain on deconsolidation of $53,739 to eliminate the intercompany account with Kuvera LATAM S.A.S. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Sale and Leaseback
Through our wholly-owned subsidiary, APEX Tex, LLC, we sell high powered data processing equipment (“APEX”) to our customers and they lease the equipment back to SAFETek, LLC, another of our wholly-owned subsidiaries. We account for these transactions under ASC 842-40 where the leaseback has been deemed a sales-type lease due to the lease term generally covering the entire economic life of the equipment and our likelihood to purchase the asset at the end of the lease term. In accordance with ASC 842-40 we have recorded the data processing equipment as a fixed asset on our balance sheet and we have accounted for the amounts received for the equipment as a financial liability, in other liabilities on our balance sheet. Further, we will recognize interest on the financial liability over the term of the lease to ensure the financial liability equates to the total amounts to be paid over the life of the lease.
During the nine months ended December 31, 2019 we had the following activity related to our sale and leaseback transactions:
Proceeds from sales of APEX | $ | 9,693,141 | ||
Interest recognized on financial liability | 877,352 | |||
Payments made for leased equipment | (1,341,100 | ) | ||
Total financial liability | 9,229,393 | |||
Other current liabilities [1] | (7,576,800 | ) | ||
Other long-term liabilities | $ | 1,652,593 |
[1] Represents lease payments to be made in the next 12 months
As of December 31, 2019 we have received proceeds of $607,205 in additional deposits for APEX sales, which has been recorded in the customer advance amount shown on our balance sheet.

Revenue Recognition
Subscription Revenue
The majority of our revenue is generated by subscription sales and payment is received at the time of purchase. We recognize subscription revenue in accordance with ASC 606-10 where revenue is measured based on a consideration specified in a contract with a customer and recognized when we satisfy the performance obligation specified in each contract. Our performance obligation is to provide services over a fixed subscription period, therefore we recognize revenue ratably over the subscription period and deferred revenue is recorded for the portion of the subscription period subsequent to each reporting date. Additionally, we offer a 10-day trial period to subscription customers, during which a full refund can be requested if a customer does not like the product. Revenues are deferred during the trial period as collection is not probable until that time has passed. Revenues are presented net of refunds, sales incentives, credits, and known and estimated credit card chargebacks.
Equipment Sales
We generate revenue from the sale of high-speed computer processing equipment that is used for any of the following intense processing activities: protein folding, CGI rendering, Game Streaming, Machine & Deep Learning, Mining, Independent Financial Verification, and general high-speed computing. We recognize equipment sales revenue in accordance with ASC 606-10 where revenue is measured based on a consideration specified in a contract with a customer and recognized when we satisfy the performance obligation specified in each contract. Our performance obligation is to deliver an equipment package to our customers which includes hardware, software, and firmware and is drop-shipped to a hosting data center. We receive payment at the time of purchase and recognize revenue when the equipment package is delivered and ready for maintenance and hosting, which our customers arrange for, and obtain, from a separate third party that provides such services.
Cryptocurrency Mining Service Revenue
We generate revenue from the sale of cryptocurrency mining services to our customers through an arrangement with a third-party supplier. We recognize cryptocurrency mining service revenue in accordance with ASC 606-10 where revenue is measured based on a consideration specified in a contract with a customer and recognized when we satisfy the performance obligation specified in each contract. Our performance obligation is to arrange for the third-party to provide mining services to our customers and payment is received at the time of purchase, therefore revenue is recognized upon receipt of payment. We recognize revenue in the amount of the fee to which we are entitled to as an agent, or the amount of consideration that we retain after paying the third-party the consideration received in exchange for the services the third-party is to provide.
Mining Revenue
Through our wholly owned subsidiary, SAFETek, LLC, we lease equipment under a sales-type lease and use the equipment on blockchain networks to validate and add blocks of transactions to blockchain ledgers (commonly referred to as “mining”). As compensation for mining we are issued fees from processors and/or block rewards that are newly created cryptocurrency units granted to us. Our mining activities constitute our ongoing major and central operations of SAFETek, LLC. Because we do not have contracts, nor do we have customers associated with our mining revenue, we recognize revenue when fees and/or rewards are settled, or ultimately granted to us as a result of our mining activities.
Fee Revenue
We generate fee revenue from our customers through SAFE Management, our subsidiary licensed as a Registered Investment Advisor and Commodities Trading Advisor. We recognize fee revenue in accordance with ASC 606-10 where revenue is measured based on a consideration specified in a contract with a customer and recognized when we satisfy the performance obligation specified in each contract. Our performance obligation is to deliver fully managed trading services to individuals who do not meet the requirements of Qualified Investors and who lack the time to trade for themselves. We recognize fee revenue as our performance obligation is met and we receive payment for such advisory fees in the month following recognition.

Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of our disclosure control system are met. Because of inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within a company have been detected. Our Chief Executive Officer and Acting Chief Financial Officer have concluded, based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this report, that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.
Changes in Internal Controls
There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2019, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
In the determinationordinary course of business, we may be or have been involved in legal proceedings from time to time. Below is a description of all legal proceedings we were involved in during the nine months ended December 31, 2019.
● | In February 2018, we received a subpoena from the United States Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”). We complied with the terms of the subpoena, negotiated a resolution of this matter with the CFTC staff, and a final order was issued on September 14, 2018. Under the order, we are not admitting or denying any of the allegations, will pay a fine of $150,000, and have agreed not to act as an unregistered Commodities Trading Advisor in the future. As of December 31, 2019 we have paid all amounts owed to CFTC and no unpaid balance remains. | |
● | In April of 2019, we received a Summons and Complaint from Fibernet Corp making claims of unpaid invoices and breach of contracts entered into in February 2012 and January 2015 as RazorData Corp. Without admitting fault or liability, in June of 2019, we entered into an agreement with Fibernet Corp to settle all claims and release us from any future claims in exchange for a payment of $35,160 to avoid ongoing litigation related to this matter. |

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEARS ENDED MARCH 31, 2019 AND 2018
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of Investview, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Investview, Inc. (the Company) as of March 31, 2019, and 2018, and the related consolidated statements of operations.operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended March 31, 2019, 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 March 31, 2019, and 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended March 31, 2019, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
ConcentrationsConsideration of the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 4 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered losses from operations and its current cash flow is not enough to meet current needs. This raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regards to this matter are also described in Note 4. 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.

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS
Organization
Investview, Inc. was incorporated on January 30, 1946, under the laws of the state of Utah as the Uintah Mountain Copper Mining Company. In January 2005, we changed domicile to Nevada and changed our name to Voxpath Holding, Inc. In September of 2006, we merged The Retirement Solution Inc. through a Share Purchase Agreement into Voxpath Holdings, Inc. and then changed our name to TheRetirementSolution.Com, Inc. and in October 2008 changed our name to Global Investor Services, Inc., before changing our name to Investview, Inc., on March 27, 2012.
On March 31, 2017, we entered into a Contribution Agreement with the members of Wealth Generators, LLC, a limited liability company (“Wealth Generators”), pursuant to which the Wealth Generators members agreed to contribute 100% of the outstanding securities of Wealth Generators in exchange for an aggregate of 1,358,670,942 shares of our common stock. The closing of the Contribution Agreement was effective April 1, 2017, and Wealth Generators became our wholly owned subsidiary and the former members of Wealth Generators became our stockholders and control the majority of our outstanding common stock (see Note 5).
On June 6, 2017, we entered into an Acquisition Agreement with Market Trend Strategies, LLC, a company whose members are also former members of our management. Under the Acquisition Agreement, we spun-off our operations that existed prior to the merger with Wealth Generators and sold the intangible assets used in those pre-merger operations in exchange for Market Trend Strategies’ assumption of $419,139 in pre-merger liabilities.
On February 28, 2018, we filed a name change for Wealth Generators, LLC to Kuvera, LLC (“Kuvera”) and on May 7, 2018, we established WealthGen Global, LLC as a Utah limited liability company and our wholly owned subsidiary.
On July 20, 2018, we entered into a Purchase Agreement with United Games Marketing LLC, a Utah limited liability company, to purchase its wholly owned subsidiaries United Games, LLC and United League, LLC for 50,000,000 shares of our common stock (see Note 5).
On November 12, 2018, we established Kuvera France, S.A.S. to handle sales of our financial education and research in the European Union.
On December 30, 2018, our wholly owned subsidiary S.A.F.E. Management, LLC received its registration and disclosure approval from the National Futures Association. S.A.F.E. Management, LLC is now a New Jersey State Registered Investment Adviser, Commodities Trading Advisor, Commodity Pool Operator, and approved for over the counter FOREX advisory services.
On January 17, 2019, we renamed our non-operating wholly owned subsidiary WealthGen Global, LLC to SafeTek, LLC, a Utah limited liability company.
Nature of Business
We own a number of companies that each operate independently, but are accretive to one another. We are establishing a portfolio of wholly owned subsidiaries delivering leading-edge technologies, services, and research, dedicated primarily to the individual consumer. Following is a description of each of our companies.
Kuvera, LLC provides research, education, and investment tools designed to assist the self-directed investor in successfully navigating the financial markets. These services include research, trade alerts, and live trading rooms that include instruction in equities, options, FOREX, ETFs, binary options, crowdfunding and cryptocurrency sector education. In addition to trading tools and research, we also offer full education and software applications to assist the individual in debt reduction, increased savings, budgeting, and proper tax management. Each product subscription includes a core set of trading tools/research along with the personal finance management suite to provide an individual with complete access to the information necessary to cultivate and manage his or her financial situation. Different packages are available through a monthly subscription that can be cancelled at any time at the discretion of the customer. A unique component of the product marketing plan is the distribution method whereby all subscriptions are sold via current participating customers who choose to distribute and sell the services by participating in the bonus plan. The bonus plan participation is purely optional but enables individuals to create an additional income stream to further support their personal financial goals and objectives.
Kuvera France S.A.S. is our entity in France that will distribute Kuvera products and services throughout the European Union.
54 |
S.A.F.E. Management, LLC is a Registered Investment Adviser and Commodity Trading Adviser that has been established to deliver automated trading strategies to individuals who find they lack the time to trade for themselves.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Accounting
Our policy is to prepare our financial statements on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Investview, Inc., and our wholly owned subsidiaries, Kuvera, LLC, Investment Tools & Training, LLC, Razor Data Corp., S.A.F.E. Management, LLC, SafeTek, LLC (formerly WealthGen Global, LLC), United Games, LLC, United League, LLC, and Kuvera France S.A.S. We have determined that one affiliated entity, Kuvera LATAM S.A.S., which we conduct business with, is a variable interest entity and we are the primary beneficiary of the entity’s activities, which are similar to those of Kuvera, LLC. As a result, we have consolidated the accounts of this variable interest entity into the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Further, because we do not have any ownership interest in this variable interest entity, we have allocated the contributed capital in the variable interest entity as a component of noncontrolling interest. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Foreign Exchange
We have consolidated the accounts of Kuvera France S.A.S. and Kuvera LATAM S.A.S. into our consolidated financial statements. The operations of Kuvera France S.A.S. are conducted in France and its functional currency is the Euro. The operations of Kuvera LATAM S.A.S. are conducted in Colombia and its functional currency is the Colombian Peso.
The financial statements of Kuvera France S.A.S. and Kuvera LATAM S.A.S. are prepared using their respective functional currency and have been translated into U.S. dollars (“USD”). Assets and liabilities are translated into USD at the applicable exchange rates at period-end. Stockholders’ equity is translated using historical exchange rates. Revenue and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates for the period. Any translation adjustments are included as foreign currency translation adjustments in accumulated other comprehensive income in our stockholders’ equity (deficit).
The following rates were used to translate the accounts of Kuvera France S.A.S. and Kuvera LATAM S.A.S. into USD at the following balance sheet dates:
March 31, 2019 | March 31, 2018 | |||||||
Euro to USD | 1.12200 | n/a | ||||||

Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments and related items that potentially subjectexpose us to concentrationsconcentration of credit risk consist primarily ofinclude cash, cash equivalents,accounts receivable, and trade receivables.advances. We place our cash and temporary cash investments with credit quality institutions. At times, such investments may be in excess of the FDIC insurance limit of $250,000. As of March 31, 20172019 and 2016,2018, cash balances that exceeded FDIC limits were $0 and $1,095,329, respectively, and we have not experienced significant losses relating to these concentrations in the past.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of reporting cash flows, we consider all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. As of March 31, 2019 and 2018, we had no amountscash equivalents.
Receivables
Receivables are carried at net realizable value, representing the outstanding balance less an allowance for doubtful accounts based on a review of all outstanding amounts. Management determines the allowance for doubtful accounts by regularly evaluating individual receivables and receivables are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of receivables previously written off are recorded when received. We had no allowance for doubtful accounts as of March 31, 2019 and 2018.
Cryptocurrencies
We hold cryptocurrency-denominated assets (“cryptocurrencies”) and include them in excessour consolidated balance sheet as other current assets. We record cryptocurrencies at fair market value and recognize the change in the fair value of our cryptocurrencies as an unrealized gain or loss in the consolidated statement of operations. As of March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018, the fair value of our cryptocurrencies was $142,061 and $480,370, respectively. During the year ended March 31, 2019, we recorded $16,241 and $106,488 as realized and unrealized gain (loss) on cryptocurrency, respectively. During the year ended March 31, 2018, we recorded $(10,939) and $(135,729) as realized and unrealized gain (loss) on cryptocurrency, respectively.
Fixed Assets
Fixed assets are stated at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives as follows:
Furniture, fixtures, and equipment | 10 years | ||
Computer equipment | 3 years |
When retired or otherwise disposed, the carrying value and accumulated depreciation of the FDIC insurance limit.fixed asset is removed from its respective accounts and the net difference less any amount realized from disposition, is reflected in earnings. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs which do not extend the useful lives of the related assets are expensed as incurred.
Income TaxesFixed assets are presented net of accumulated depreciation of $12,505 and $7,173, as of March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Total depreciation expense for the years ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, was $5,332 and $2,639, respectively.
Long-Lived Assets – Intangible Assets & License Agreement
We account for our intangible assets and long-term license agreement in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Subtopic 350-30, General Intangibles Other Than Goodwill, and ASC Subtopic 360-10-05, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. ASC Subtopic 350-30 requires assets to be measured based on the fair value of the consideration given or the fair value of the assets (or net assets) acquired, whichever is more clearly evident and, thus, more reliably measurable. Further, ASC Subtopic 350-30 requires an intangible asset to be amortized over its useful life and for the useful life to be evaluated every reporting period to determine whether events or circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining period of amortization. If the estimate of useful life is changed the remaining carrying amount of the intangible asset is amortized prospectively over the revised remaining useful life. Costs of internally developing, maintaining, or restoring intangible assets are recognized as an expense when incurred.
56 |
In June of 2017 we issued 80,000,000 shares of common stock with a value of $2,256,000 for a 15-year license agreement. Annual amortization over the 15-year life is expected to be $150,400 per year. Amortization recognized for the year ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, was $150,400 and $122,380, respectively, and the long-term license agreement was recorded at a net value of $1,983,220 and $2,133,620 as of March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
In June of 2018 we purchased United Games, LLC and United League, LLC and recorded the transaction as a business combination (see Note 5). Intangible assets acquired in the business combination were recorded at fair value on the date of acquisition and are being amortized on a straight-line method over their estimated useful lives.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
We have adopted ASC subtopic 740-10,Subtopic 360-10, Property, Plant and Equipment. ASC 360-10 requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles held and used by us be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable or when the historical cost carrying value of an asset may no longer be appropriate. Events relating to recoverability may include significant unfavorable changes in business conditions, recurring losses, or a forecasted inability to achieve break-even operating results over an extended period.
We evaluate the recoverability of long-lived assets based upon future net cash flows expected to result from the asset, including eventual disposition. Should impairment in value be indicated, the carrying value of intangible assets will be adjusted and an impairment loss is recorded equal to the difference between the asset’s carrying value and fair value or disposable value.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, based on our principal or, in the absence of a principal, most advantageous market for the specific asset or liability.
57 |
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles provide for a three-level hierarchy of inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value, defined as follows:
Level 1: | Inputs that are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity can access. | |
Level 2: | Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability, including: |
- | quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; | |
- | quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; | |
- | inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and | |
- | inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. |
Level 3: | Inputs that are unobservable and reflect management’s own assumptions about the inputs market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best information available in the circumstances (e.g., internally derived assumptions surrounding the timing and amount of expected cash flows). |
Our financial instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable, and accounts payable. We have determined that the book value of our outstanding financial instruments as of March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018, approximates the fair value due to their short-term nature.
Items recorded or measured at fair value on a recurring basis in the accompanying consolidated financial statements consisted of the following items as of March 31, 2019:

Revenue Recognition
Effective April 1, 2018, we adopted the ASC Subtopic 606-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The adoption of ASC 606-10 had no impact on prior year or previously disclosed amounts. In accordance with ASC 606-10, revenue is measured based on a consideration specified in a contract with a customer and recognized when we satisfy the performance obligation specified in each contract.
The majority of our revenue is generated by subscription sales and payment is received at the time of purchase. Our performance obligation is to provide services over a fixed subscription period; therefore, we recognize revenue ratably over the subscription period and deferred revenue is recorded for the portion of the subscription period subsequent to each reporting date. Additionally, we offer a 10-day trial period to subscription customers, during which a full refund can be requested if a customer does not like the product. Revenues are deferred during the trial period as collection is not probable until that time has passed. Revenues are presented net of refunds, sales incentives, credits, and known and estimated credit card chargebacks.
We generate revenue from the sale of cryptocurrency mining services to our customers through an arrangement with a third-party supplier. Our performance obligation is to arrange for the third-party to provide mining services to our customers and payment is received at the time of purchase, therefore revenue is recognized upon receipt of payment. We recognize revenue in the amount of the fee to which we are entitled to as an agent, or the amount of consideration that we retain after paying the third-party the consideration received in exchange for the services the third-party is to provide.
We generate revenue from the sale of high-speed computer processing equipment that is used for any of the following intense processing activities: protein folding, CGI rendering, game streaming, machine & deep learning, mining, independent financial verification, and general high-speed computing. Our performance obligation is to deliver an equipment package to our customers that includes hardware, software, and firmware and is drop-shipped to a hosting data center. We receive payment at the time of purchase and recognize revenue when the equipment package is delivered and ready for maintenance and hosting, which our customers arrange for, and obtain, from a separate third party that provides such services.

Advertising, Selling, and Marketing Costs
We expense advertising, selling, and marketing costs as incurred. Advertising, selling, and marketing costs include costs of promoting our product worldwide, including promotional events. Advertising, selling, and marketing expenses for the years ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, totaled $878,936 and $454,225, respectively.
Income Taxes
We have adopted ASC Subtopic 740-10, Income Taxes, which requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statement or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Temporary differences between taxable income reported for financial reporting purposes and income tax purposes consist primarily of derivative liability and stock compensation accounting versus basis differences.
Net LossIncome (Loss) per Share
We follow ASC subtopicSubtopic 260-10,Earnings Perper Share,, specifying which specifies the computation, presentation, and disclosure requirements of earnings per share information. Basic loss per share has been calculated based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Convertible debt, stock options, and warrants have been excluded as common stock equivalents in the diluted loss per share because their effect is antidilutiveanti-dilutive on the computation.

Historical Wealth Generators LLC
Results of OperationsNOTE 3 – RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
RevenueIn February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)”.ASU 2016-02 changes the accounting for leased assets, principally by requiring balance sheet recognition of assets under lease arrangements. It is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018. In June of 2019, we signed a three-year lease agreement for office space in Eatontown, New Jersey, therefore we will adopt this standard effective April 1, 2019 and will account for our new lease agreement accordingly. We note that the adoption of ASU 2016-02 will have no other impact of on our consolidated financial statements.
Wealth Generators recorded revenueThere are no additional recently issued accounting pronouncements that we have not yet adopted that we believe are applicable or would have a material impact on our financial statements.
NOTE 4 – GOING CONCERN AND LIQUIDITY
Our financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern that contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. We have incurred significant recurring losses, which have resulted in an accumulated deficit of $25,096,983 as of March 31, 2019, along with a net loss of $5,011,036 and net cash used in operations of $2,983,251 for the year ended March 31, 2017,2019. Additionally, as of $12,872,947, which was an increaseMarch 31, 2019, we had a working capital deficit of $7,315,486, or 132%,$2,222,990. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Historically we have relied on increasing revenues and new debt financing to pay for operational expenses and debt as it came due. During the year ended March 31, 2019, we raised $1,905,777 in cash proceeds from related parties and $4,115,961 in cash proceeds from new lending arrangements. Subsequent to March 31, 2019, we obtained $200,000 in cash proceeds from new lending arrangements and received $325,000 from the sale of our common stock.
Since our acquisition of Wealth Generators in April of 2017 we have implemented a number of initiatives and we are beginning to see the positive impact of these actions. First, our largest subsidiary, Kuvera, has a bonus plan structure for distributors of our services which consistently paid out beyond our maximum threshold. Adjustments to this bonus plan have been made over the last 12 months with additional adjustments planned for the next two quarters. This resulted in a gradual reduction in bonus payouts which reduced our losses. Second, we expanded the objectives of Investview through the acquisition and creation of additional subsidiaries to increase our sources of income and creating business activities in new sectors which includes:
● | Fully licensing SAFE Management LLC as a Registered Investment Advisor and Commodities Trading Advisor. This was done so SAFE Management could offer fully managed trading services to individuals who lacked the time to trade for themselves and provide reasonable advisory fees and minimum investment amounts to service individuals who do not meet the requirements of Qualified Investors. | |
● | We acquired the assets of United Games LLC and United League LLC which provided us highly experienced management, programmers, marketing and compliance personnel along with key technology components such as a fully coded back office and trademarked FIREFAN app. We are still in the process of adapting their technology to Kuvera operations and working on various distribution plans for FIREFAN. | |
● | We changed the name of our subsidiary WealthGen Global, which was an unused entity, to SAFETek LLC in preparation for our entry into the high-performance computing space to meet the needs of 4IR (Fourth Industrial Revolution) business needs which includes mining, blockchain technologies, gaming, artificial intelligence and 3-Dimensional rendering. This will enable us to provide HPC services to small, medium and startup entities who require specialized high-speed processing but cannot afford the infrastructure. By leasing our processing to these companies, we will aid these entities in bringing their products, inventions, improvements to market. | |
● | We have designed a program through Joint Venture known as APEX which enables individuals to purchase highly customized processing cards which SAFETek will lease from the purchasers for a fixed period of time at a fixed monthly lease payment. This enables individuals to participate in emerging growth without experiencing the volatility and potential loss experienced in the sector. |
These companies provide Investview a stake in 4IR, HPC, app development, fintech, blockchain and personal money management sectors. Each of these are areas that are targeted for significant growth spurred by innovations through technology.
While our liabilities are larger than our assets it is important to note that we seek to keep operating expenses low. The assets we have acquired and will continue to seek out are those of technology, mobile apps, and human resources. These assets are not easily defined on our balance sheet but represent our ability to carry out our objectives which we believe will ultimately generating positive cash flow, reduced debt and then profitability.
60 |
Further, while we have reported reoccurring losses and have an operating capital deficiency, we have been able to establish multiple companies to create various revenue streams as we move forward. Our largest challenge is operational cash flow as lending arrangements continue to be expensive causing us to deploy incoming cash to prior yeardebt. We continue to seek short term capital in arrangements that are partnership based with elements of debt and equity combined. Additionally, our immediate focus is the continued reduction in losses by controlling expenses, increasing revenue, and generating additional revenue streams.
Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate our continuation as a going concern and the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities presented in the financial statements do not necessarily purport to represent realizable or settlement values. The financial statements do not include any adjustment that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
NOTE 5 – ACQUISITIONS
Reverse Acquisition with Wealth Generators
Effective April 1, 2017, we entered into a Contribution Agreement with Wealth Generators, pursuant to which the Wealth Generators members agreed to contribute 100% of the outstanding securities of Wealth Generators in exchange for an aggregate of 1,358,670,942 shares of our common stock. Following the closing, Wealth Generators became our wholly owned subsidiary and the Wealth Generators members became our stockholders and control the majority of our outstanding common stock.
The transaction was accounted for as a reverse acquisition using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC Topic 805. Wealth Generators is the acquirer solely for financial accounting purposes. The following table summarizes the purchase accounting for the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of the reverse acquisition:
Cash | $ | 3,550 | ||
Receivables | 150,000 | |||
Total assets acquired | 153,550 | |||
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities | 456,599 | |||
Due to former management | 127,199 | |||
Debt | 26,314 | |||

Net liabilities assumed | 456,562 | |||
Consideration [2] | 662,047 | |||
Goodwill | $ | 1,118,609 |
[1] | In conjunction with the reverse acquisition, we entered into an assignment and assumption agreement wherein we issued 24,914,348 shares of our common stock to Alpha Pro Asset Management Group, LLC (“Alpha Pro”), an entity affiliated with the prior members of management, in exchange for Alpha Pro’s assumption of $482,588 in liabilities. Accordingly, the shares issued for debt were accounted for the moment before the reverse acquisition, and the $482,588 in liabilities have been excluded from the total liabilities assumed shown here. | |
[2] | The fair value of the consideration effectively transferred was measured based on the fair value of 150,465,339 shares that were outstanding immediately before the transaction. Using the closing market price of $0.0044 per share on March 31, 2017, consideration was valued at $662,047. |
Acquisition of United Games, LLC and United League, LLC
On July 20, 2018, we entered into a Purchase Agreement with United Games Marketing LLC, a Utah limited liability company, to purchase its wholly owned subsidiaries United Games, LLC and United League, LLC for 50,000,000 shares of our common stock. United Games, LLC and United League, LLC provide distributor marketing back-office and commission tools and online sports gaming experience for users of their applications distributed through their networks of affiliates therefore we expect significant synergies to exist as a result of combining operations.
61 |
The transaction was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with the FASB (ASC Topic 805). The following table summarizes the purchase accounting for the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of the acquisition and the gain on bargain purchase which resulted from the fair value of the intangible assets acquired exceeding the fair value of our common stock given as consideration:
Cash | $ | 3,740 | ||
Receivables | 361,345 | |||
Intangible assets (see Note 2) | 1,816,000 | |||
Total assets acquired | 2,181,085 | |||
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities | 409,803 | |||
Total liabilities assumed | 409,803 | |||
Net assets acquired | 1,771,282 | |||
Consideration [1] | 800,000 | |||
Gain on bargain purchase | $ | 971,282 |
[1] | The 50,000,000 shares of our common stock transferred as consideration in accordance with the Purchase Agreement was valued on July 20, 2018, the date of acquisition, based on the weighted equity fair value of $0.016 per share as determined by a third party valuation firm. |
United Games, LLC and United League, LLC recorded combined revenue of $5,557,461. This increase was due to increased interest in its new products including FOREX, an increase in international interest,$1,331,542 and a maturing distributor base capablecombined net income of creating retention and additional new members.
Operating Costs and Expenses
Wealth Generators recorded operating costs and (expenses)$26,059 since the July 20, 2018 acquisition date, which were included in our consolidated statement of operations for the year ended March 31, 2017, of $14,810,607, which was an increase of $8,521,091, or 135%, from the prior year operating costs and (expenses) of $6,289,516. With the significant increase in demand and interest in its products, it needed to recruit additional management talent with experience in the sector, bonus payouts increased commensurate with the rise in revenues, increased network security and platform product delivery to handle increased sales, and expanded employee staff in customer support and trade product services.2019.
Other IncomeThe table below represents the pro forma revenue and Expensesnet income (loss) for the years ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, assuming the acquisition had occurred on April 1, 2017, pursuant to ASC Subtopic 805-10-50.

Going forward, its management believes the current state will support this growth without a significant increase in expenses other than customer support and the bonus plan which rises commensurate with revenues. Wealth Generators’ investment in its platform, personnel, and executive management provides it the ability to handle over four times its current volume.
Wealth Generators will still need to address the larger undertaking of language translation and continued international expansion which will require additional funding. Wealth Generators currently has multiple lead sources that are finalizing their due diligence process and anticipates closing on this funding in the very near future.

Evan Cabral, Daniel Lopez, John Legarreta, Johnathan Lopez, Julian Kuschner, Nick Gomez, Luke Shulla, Nestor Velazquez, Christopher Terry, Isis De La Torre, Alex Morton, Ivan Briongos, Brandon Boyd, and International Markets Live Ltd. d/b/a iMarketslive, Civil No. 170401615, alleging corporate espionage and misappropriation of corporate information. The lawsuit alleges that International Markets Live Ltd., dba iMarketslive, conspired with a number of individuals affiliated with Wealth Generators to steal our confidential information, intellectual property, and trade secrets. On September 27, 2018, the court issued its ruling granting in part and denying in part our motion for preliminary injunction. On January 2, 2019, the parties entered into a settlement agreement in which they agreed to release all claims and have the litigation dismissed with prejudice, with neither party making any payment to the other, but with the defendants agreeing to make a $5,000 donation to charity. On February 22, 2019, the matter was dismissed with prejudice. |

● | In February 2018, we received a subpoena from the United States Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”). We complied with the terms of the subpoena, negotiated a resolution of this matter with the CFTC staff, and a final order was issued on September 14, 2018. Under the order, we did not admit or deny any of the allegations, agreed to pay a fine of $150,000, and agreed not to act as an unregistered Commodities Trading Advisor in the future. As of March 31, 2019, we have paid $90,000 to CFTC and the remaining unpaid balance has been included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet. | |
● | Jim Westphal filed a wage claim against Kuvera, LLC (at the time named Wealth Generators, LLC), in the United States District Court for the District of Utah, Central Division (Case No. 2:18-cv-00080) in the amount of $6,500 plus liquidated damages. Mr. Westphal is claiming unpaid overtime wages. We contend that Mr. Westphal was an independent contractor, hired on a limited basis to perform software services, and is accordingly not entitled to overtime payments under the Fair Labor Standards Act. Moreover, Mr. Westphal never provided the promised software pursuant to the parties’ agreement. We filed a counterclaim on July 12, 2018, seeking damages of approximately $20,000 and demanding a jury trial. In December 2018, the parties settled the matter with a joint motion. As a result of the settlement, we paid Mr. Westphal $1,500 and the case was dismissed. | |
● | In April of 2019, we received a Summons and Complaint from Fibernet Corp making claims of unpaid invoices and breach of contracts entered into in February 2012 and January 2015 as RazorData Corp. Without admitting fault or liability, in June of 2019, we entered into an agreement with Fibernet Corp to settle all claims and release us from any future claims in exchange for a payment of $35,160 to avoid ongoing litigation related to this matter. |
NOTE 11 – INCOME TAXES
Deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment. The Company used an effective tax rate of 30% when calculating the deferred tax assets and liabilities and income tax provision below.
Net deferred tax assets consist of the following components as of March 31, 2019 and 2018:

The income tax provision differs from the amount of income tax determined by applying the U.S. federal income tax rate to pretax income from continuing operations for the years ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, due to the following:

At March 31, 2019, we had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $7,880,000 that may be offset against future taxable income for the year 2020 through 2039. However, due to the change in ownership provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, the NOL accumulated prior to the April 1, 2017, acquisition can only offset future income of up to $13,837 per year until expired. Should additional changes in ownership occur, net operating loss carryforwards in future years may be further limited.
No tax benefit from continuing or discontinued operations have been reported in the March 31, 2019, consolidated financial statements since the potential tax benefit is offset by a valuation allowance of the same amount.
We comply with the provisions of FASB ASC 740 in accounting for our uncertain tax positions. ASC 740 addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under ASC 740, we may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely that not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. We have determined that we have no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition under ASC 740.
We recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses. We had no accruals for interest and tax penalties at March 31, 2019 and 2018.
We do not expect the amount of unrecognized tax benefits to materially change within the next 12 months.
We are required to file income tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction, in New York State, New Jersey, and in Utah. We are no longer subject to income tax examinations by tax authorities for tax years ending before March 31, 2015. During the year ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 we paid income taxes of $70,768 and $24,589, respectively.
NOTE 12 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In April of 2019, we received proceeds of $200,000 from two separate short-term promissory notes.
In June of 2019, we entered into an office lease agreement for our corporate finance department, located in Eatontown, New Jersey. The agreement is for a term of three years at a monthly rent amount of $2,500 for months one through six, $3,500 for months six through 12, and $4,000 for months 13 through 36. Corporate Finance is expected to occupy the new office space beginning in July of 2019.
In May and June of 2019, we issued an aggregate of 39,215,648 shares of our common stock to Triton Funds LP under the common stock purchase agreement that was entered into in December 2018 and amended in March and April 2019, for net proceeds of $325,000.
In accordance with ASC Topic 855, Subsequent Events, we have evaluated subsequent events through the date of this filing and have determined that there are no additional subsequent events that require disclosure.

This negative cash flow was funded by borrowing $368,253 from related parties, proceeds of $1,675,000 from new lending arrangements, and proceeds of $492,000 from the sale of common stock, offset by repayments of $392,500 to related parties and $556,085 on debt.

Overview
We own a number of companies that each operate independently, but are accretive to one another. We are establishing a portfolio of wholly owned subsidiaries delivering leading-edge technologies, services, and research dedicated primarily to the individual consumer.
Through our wholly owned subsidiaries, we provide affordable access to financial education, current market research, and cutting-edge technology that enables individuals to increase and cultivate their own financial resources, enjoy life, and plan for the future. The services include basic financial educational, expense and debt reduction tools, research, newsletter alerts, and live education rooms that include instruction on the going concern basis, which assumes that adequate sourcessubjects of financing will be obtained as requiredequities, options, Forex, ETFs, binary options, crowdfunding, and that our assets will be realizedthe emerging cryptocurrency market.

Our March 31, 2017, consolidated financial statements state that our historical losses, accumulated deficit, cash balance, and working capital deficit raise substantial doubts about our ability to continue as a going concern. Historically we have relied on increasing revenues and new debt financing to pay for operational expenses and debt as it came due. Going forward, we plan to reduce obligations with cash flow provided by operations and pursue additional debt and equity financing, however, we cannot assure that funds will be available on terms acceptable to us, or will be sufficient to enable us to fully complete our development activities or sustain operations. Nevertheless, the shortage of working capital adversely affects our ability to develop or participate in activities that promote our business, because a substantial portion of cash flow goes to reduce debt rather than to advance operating activities.
Critical Accounting Policies
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations (Regulation S-X) of the Securities and Exchange Commission and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of operations for the six months ended September 30, 2017, are not necessarily indicative of the operating results that may be expected for the year ending March 31, 2018. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the March 31, 2017, consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2017, as well as our Form 8-K/A filed on June 30, 2017.
Revenue Recognition
For revenue from product sales and services, we recognize revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”),subtopic 605-10,Revenue Recognition, which requires that four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered; (3) the selling price is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. Determination of criteria (3) and (4) are based on management’s judgments regarding the fixed nature of the selling prices of the products delivered and the collectability of those amounts. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded.

We sell our products separately and in various bundles that include website/data subscriptions, educational workshops, online workshops and training, one-on-one coaching and counseling sessions, along with other products and services. The deferral policy for eachBy enabling the marriage of the different types of revenues is summarized as follows:
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of March 31, 2017 and 2016. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values. These financial instruments include cash, notes payable, convertible notes payable, derivative liabilities, and accounts payable. Fair values were assumed to approximate carrying values for cash and payables because they are short term in nature and their carrying amounts approximate fair values or they are payable on demand.
Derivative Liability
We account for derivatives in accordance with ASC 815, which establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other financial instruments or contracts and requires recognition of all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value, regardless of hedging relationship designation. Accounting for changes in fair value of the derivative instruments depends on whether the derivatives qualify as hedge relationships and the types of relationships designated are based on the exposures hedged. At March 31, 2017 and 2016, we did not have any derivative instruments that were designated as hedges.
Stock-Based Compensation
We account for our stock-based awards in accordance with ASC subtopic 718-10,Compensation, which requires a fair value measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to our employees and directors, including employee stock options and restricted stock awards. We estimate the fair value of stock options granted using the Black-Scholes valuation model. This model requires us to make estimates and assumptions including, among other things, estimates regarding the length of time an employee will retain vested stock options before exercising them, the estimated volatility of our common stock price, and the number of options that will be forfeited prior to vesting. The fair value is then amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods of the awards, which is generally the vesting period.
Changes in these estimates and assumptions can materially affect the determination of the fair value of stock-based compensation and consequently, the related amount recognized in our consolidated statements of operations.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments and related items that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents, and trade receivables. We place our cash and temporary cash investments with credit quality institutions. At times, such investments may be in excess of the FDIC insurance limit of $250,000. As of March 31, 2017 and 2016, we had no amounts in excess of the FDIC insurance limit.
Income Taxes
We have adopted ASC subtopic 740-10,Income Taxes, which requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statement or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Temporary differences between taxable income reported for financial reporting purposes and income tax purposes consist primarily of derivative liability and stock compensation accounting versus basis differences.
Net Loss per Share
We follow ASC subtopic 260-10,Earnings Per Share, specifying the computation, presentation, and disclosure requirements of earnings per share information. Basic loss per share has been calculated based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Convertible debt, stock options, and warrants have been excluded as common stock equivalents in the diluted loss per share because their effect is antidilutive on the computation.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standard Update (ASU) 2014-09—Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).ASU 2014-09 creates a new topic in the ASC Topic 606 and establishes a new control-based revenue recognition model, changes the basis for deciding when revenue is recognized over time or at a point in time, provides new and more detailed guidance on specific topics, and expands and improves disclosures about revenue. In addition, ASU 2014-09 adds a new subtopic to the codification, ASC 340-40,Other Assets and Deferred Costs: Contracts with Customers, to provide guidance on costs related to obtaining a contract with a customer and costs incurred in fulfilling a contract with a customer that are not in the scope of another ASC Topic. The guidance in ASU 2014-09 is effective for public entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods therein. Early application is not permitted. Management is in the process of assessing the impact of ASU 2014-09 on our financial statements.
We have implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and we do not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

Our Vision
We envision an ongoing integration of the latest technologies with emerging needs to deliver leading edge products and services worldwide.
Distribution Method
We use a network marketing distributionan affiliate model to sell our product subscriptions. A current customerAnyone with an interest can participate in the optionalour bonus plan, thatwhich rewards them for selling product subscriptions. We believe this component of our offering is extremely powerful as it provides:
provides an additional income stream for the customer who decides to become a distributor. Individuals are much more comfortable discussing financial matters with people they know. The network becomes a support system for the customers as they learn together and share their experiences. The affiliate distribution model, while powerful, requires strict policies and procedures to ensure ourthe company’s presentation and messaging are accurate and compliant. An affiliate/distributor is not required to be a customer to sell our products.
Regulatory Matters
Various laws and regulations in the United States and other countries regulate network marketing, or direct selling. These laws and regulations exist at many levels of government in several different forms, including statutes, rules, regulations, judicial decisions, and administrative orders. Generally, the regulations are directed at: (i) ensuring that product sales ultimately are made to consumers and that advancement within a sales organization is based on product sales rather than on investments in the organization or on other criteria that are not related to sales; and (ii) preventing the use of deceptive or fraudulent practices that have sometimes been inappropriately associated with legitimate direct selling and network marketing activities. Network marketing regulations are inherently fact-based and often do not include “bright line” rules. Additionally, we are subject to the risk that the regulations, or a regulator’s interpretation and enforcement of the regulations, could change.
Network marketing companies and the industry, in general, continue to experience significant media and public scrutiny in many countries. Several companies that use distribution methods similar to ours have been scrutinized and penalized in markets in which we operate. This scrutiny, along with the uncertainty of the laws and regulations pertaining to network marketing in many countries, can affect how a regulator or member of the public perceives us. We cannot predict the impact that this scrutiny may have on our business, the industry in general, or our stock price.
Competition
We face competition for each of our product categories, but do not have a similar competitor with the full suite of services offered by us.offered. Each of the financial education products, alerts, tools, and newsletters face competition from similar product companies such as TheStreet.com, Motley’sThe Motley Fool, Jim Cramer, and similarlike subscription-based financial research services. The personal money management education and tools face competition from free mobile apps designed for the same purpose although our personal money management does not advertise or entice the user to refinance andor secure new loans and is a pure management tool that serves the individual and not the advertiser. Our tax management tools and education have limited competition, and we have deployed Deductr Pro as our tool of choice. OurUnique to our company is not the individual product but the combined suite of products for one monthly subscription price, cancellable at any time by the user and distributed exclusively by the active members through the optional bonus plan for those who choose to sell the service to others, is what sets us apart.others.
We believe our competitive advantages include:
● |
● | a management team with extensive experience in financial education and market strategy research/ |
● | a young and motivated distributor base; |
● | a large demographic that services all genders, |
● | a delivery platform |
Our competitive weaknesses include translation challenges as we continue international expansion and components of our distributor backend that are programmed by third-party providers.
Intellectual Property
Our success is predicated on the adoption of new and innovative technology, education, and research along with constantly improving convenience tools. The delivery of alerts and financial information through our platform provides various levels of automation that is programmed and designed by us exclusively for our products.products and modified to enable the individual to initiate action on alerts they desire. We own the intellectual property for many of our products strategies and platform delivery mechanisms while we make other products available through licensed arrangements. In this way, we can continually offer a full suite of “best of breed” services to ensure our members are receiving the most value and leading-edge programs for their monthly subscription.

Expansion
We are in the process of expanding the business internationally. International planning and restructuring is taking place as a result of the recent name change to Kuvera. Our affiliated entity, WG LATAM S.A.S., which has been reestablished to Kuvera LATAM S.A.S., distributes tour products and services in Colombia and surrounding Latin American countries. International operations can be impacted by international regulations and economic conditions, although all are continuously monitored.
Government Regulation
We have historically positioned the company as a knowledge provider and educator seekingthat seeks to augment our members’a user’s informed decision-making process, rather than to act as a conductor of investment decisions or a representative of investment services. As such, most of our activities do not fall within the scope of securities industry regulation. We do not provide securities brokerage or investment advisory services. OurMost of our products and services also do not require that anyoneany representative distributing our services conduct themselves as an investment advisor or broker. However, our subsidiary S.A.F.E. Management, LLC, recently received its registration and disclosure approval from the National Futures Association. S.A.F.E. Management, LLC is now a New Jersey State Registered Investment Adviser (“RIA”), Commodities Trading Advisor (“CTA”), and Commodity Pool Operator registered with the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”), and is approved by the CFTC for over the counter FOREX advisory services. As a New Jersey-registered RIA, we are required to comply with New Jersey’s laws and regulations governing the activities of investment advisers and the fees they can charge, as well as certain provisions of the Investment Adviser Act of 1940. As a CFTC registered CTA, Commodity Pool Operator, and FOREX adviser, we are required to comply with federal law and CFTC rules regulating those activities.
We have established these registrations and the advisory structure to offer automated trade execution, which is managed by S.A.F.E. Management, LLC, in its capacity as an RIA, for equities and equity options and in its capacity as a CTA for commodities, futures, and OTC Forex. In fact, we encourage all representatives and usersaddition, SAFE provides traditional advisory services for clients who do not wish to trade for themselves. Automation of trades is only available through S.A.F.E. Management. No additional approvals are required for any of our information servicescurrent business activities. The cost of maintaining this additional regulated entity could have a material adverse effect on our business and could subject us to seek unrelated investment professionals for securities-related activities.regulatory enforcement actions.
We are subject to governmentalgovernment regulation in connection with securities laws and regulations applicable to all publicly owned companies as well as laws and regulations applicable to businesses generally. We are also increasingly subject to governmental regulation and legislation specifically targeting Internet companies, such as privacy regulations adopted at the local, state, national and international levels and taxes levied at the state level. Due to the increasing popularity and use of the Internet,internet, enforcement of existing laws, such as consumer protection regulations, in connection with web-based activities has become more aggressive, and it is expected that new laws and regulations will continue to be enacted at the local, state, national, and international levels. AnySuch new legislation, alone or combined with increasingly aggressive enforcement of existing laws, could have a material adverse effect on our future operating performance and business.

THE EQUITY PURCHASE TRANSACTION
General
On December 6, 2017, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the SPA) and a Registration Rights Agreement with D-Beta One EQ, Ltd., a Cayman Islands entity, and a Standby Equity Distribution Agreement (the SEDA) with YAII PN, Ltd., a Cayman Islands entity. Although D-Beta One EQ and YAII PN are affiliates of each other, they are not our affiliates. The Registration Rights Agreement requires us to file a registration statement registering D-Beta One EQ’s resale of the shares within 60 calendar days.
Under the terms of the SPA with D-Beta One EQ, we agreed to sell 20,000,000 sharesclass of our common stock for $650,000, or $0.0325 per share. Ten million shares were delivered at closing for $325,000, with the other 10 million shares will be delivered when we have successfully increased our authorized shares and filed this registration statement. If all 20 million shares offered were sold, they would represent 1% of the total number of shares of our common stock outstanding as of the date of this prospectus.
Under the SEDA, YAII PN agreed to purchase up to $5.0 million of our common stock at our request during the 36 months following the date of the agreement and 71,428,571 shares of our common stock are being offered under this prospectus, and the resale of these shares is included in this registration statement. The shares will be purchased at 87.5% of the lowest daily volume weighted average price of the common stock in the five consecutive trading days following our delivery of an advance notice and are subject to certain limitations, including that YAII PN cannot purchase any shares that would result in it owning more than 4.99% of our common stock. We paid a commitment fee of 4,273,504 shares upon signing of the agreement, and the resale of those shares is also included in this statement. We will control the timing and amount of any of our sales of our common stock to YAII PN. We may, at any time in our sole discretion, terminate the SEDA without fee, penalty, or cost upon prior written notice. If all of the 75,702,075 shares offered by YAII PN under this prospectus were sold, they would represent 3.8% of the total number of shares of our common stock outstanding as of the date of this prospectus. If we elect to issue and sell more than the 75,702,075 shares offered under this prospectus to YAII PN, we must first register for resale any such additional shares under the Securities Act. The number of shares ultimately offered for resale by YAII PN is dependent upon the number of shares we sell to it under the SEDA, which in turnvoting securities is a function of the market price for our common stock at the time of sale.
If all 95.7 million shares offered were sold, they would represent 4.7% of the total number of shares of our common stock outstanding and 9% of the total number of outstanding shares held by nonaffiliates as of the date of this prospectus.
Purchase of Shares under the SEDA
We may, from time to time and at our sole discretion, request that YAII PN purchase shares of our common stock. The purchase price per share will be equal to 87.5% lowest daily volume weighted average price of the common stock in the five consecutive trading days immediately following our delivery of an advance notice to YAII PN to purchase the shares. There is no minimum amount that we may require YAII PN to purchase at any one time. The closing of the sale of the shares will occur on the sixth trading day following our delivery of the advance notice to YAII PN to purchase the shares.
We have agreed that we will not, directly or indirectly, offer to sell, sell, contract to sell, grant any option to sell, or otherwise dispose of any of our securities during the period beginning on the fifth trading day immediately before an advance notice date and ending on the fifth trading day immediately following the corresponding advance date. Other than as set forth above, there are no trading volume requirements or restrictions under the SEDA, and we will control the timing and amount of any sales of our common stock to YAII PN.
Under the SEDA, the following conditions must be satisfied in order for us to sell shares of our common stock to YAII PN:
Our Termination Rights
We have the unconditional right, at any time, for any reason and without any payment or liability to us to give notice to YAII PN to terminate the SEDA.
Effect of Performance of the SPA and SEDA on Our Stockholders
All shares of common stock registered in this offering are expected to be freely tradable. It is anticipated that shares registered in this offering will be sold overor has a period commencing on the date that the registration statement, including this prospectus, becomes effective through the next 36 months. The sale by the selling stockholders of a significant amount of shares registered in this offering at any given time could cause the market price of our common stock to decline and to be highly volatile.
YAII PN may ultimately purchase all, some, or none of the shares of common stock not yet issued but registered in this offering. If we sell these shares to YAII PN, it may sell all, some, or none of such shares. Therefore, sales to YAII PN by us under the SEDA may result in substantial dilution to the interests of other stockholders. In addition, if we sell a substantial number of shares to YAII PN under the SEDA, or if investors expect that we will do so, the actual sales of shares or the mere existence of our arrangement with YAII PN may make it more difficult for us to sell equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and at a price at which we might otherwise wish to effect such sales. However, we have the right to control the timing and amount of any sales of our shares to YAII PN, and the SEDA may be terminated by us at any time at our discretion without any costmaterial interest adverse to us.
Pursuant to the terms of the SEDA, we have the right, but not the obligation, to direct YAII PN to purchase up to $5 million of our common stock. Depending on the price per share at which we sell our common stock to YAII PN, we may be authorized to issue and sell to YAII PN more shares of our common stock than are offered under this prospectus. If we choose to do so, we must first register for resale under the Securities Act any such additional shares, which could cause additional substantial dilution to our stockholders. The number of shares ultimately offered for resale by YAII PN under this prospectus is dependent upon the number of shares we direct YAII PN to purchase under the SEDA.
This prospectus relates to the possible resale of up to 20,000,000 shares of our common stock by D-Beta One EQ, Ltd., and up to 75,702,075 shares of our common stock to YAII PN, Ltd., together, the selling stockholders. We are filing the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part pursuant to the provisions of the agreements executed in connection with the selling stockholders’ agreement to purchase the shares.
Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, which we entered into on December 6, 2017, concurrently with our execution of the SPA and SEDA, we agreed to provide certain registration rights respecting sales by D-Beta One EQ, Ltd. and YAII PN Ltd. of the shares of our common stock issued to them under the SPA and the SEDA. See the description under the heading “The Equity Purchase Transactions” for more information.
The selling stockholders may, from time to time, offer and sell pursuant to this prospectus any or all of the shares that we have sold or may sell to them. The selling stockholders may sell some, all, or none of their shares. We do not know how long the selling stockholders will hold the shares before selling them, and we currently have no agreements, arrangements, or understandings with the selling stockholders regarding the sale of any of the shares.Compensation Plans

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTIONSECURITIES
The selling stockholders and any of their respective pledgees, assignees, and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their common stock on the OTC Markets or any other stock exchange, market, or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. The selling stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:
The selling stockholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.
YAII PN is an “underwriter” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act.
Broker-dealers engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated 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.
YAII PN is, and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be, “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by the broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. The selling stockholders have informed us that they do not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the common stock. In no event shall any broker-dealer receive fees, commissions, and markups that, in the aggregate, would exceed 8%.
Because YAII PN is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act, it is subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act, including Rule 172 thereunder. In addition, any securities covered by this prospectus that qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144 rather than under this prospectus.

In general, Rule 102 under Regulation M prohibits any person connected with a distribution of our common stock from directly or indirectly bidding for, or purchasing for any account in which it has a beneficial interest, any of the shares or any right to purchase the shares, for a period of one business day before and after completion of its participation in the distribution.
During any distribution period, Regulation M prohibits the selling stockholders and any other persons engaged in the distribution from engaging in any stabilizing bid or purchasing our common stock except for the purpose of preventing or retarding a decline in the open market price of the common stock. None of these persons may affect any stabilizing transaction to facilitate any offering at the market.
We have also advised the selling stockholders that they should be aware that the anti-manipulation provisions of Regulation M under the Exchange Act will apply to purchases and sales of Common Stock by the Selling Stockholder, and that there are restrictions on market-making activities by persons engaged in the distribution of the shares. Under Regulation M, the Selling Stockholder or its agents may not bid for, purchase, or attempt to induce any person to bid for or purchase, shares of our Common Stock while the Selling Stockholder is distributing shares covered by this prospectus. Regulation M may prohibit the Selling Stockholder from covering short sales by purchasing shares while the distribution is taking place, despite any contractual rights to do so under the Agreement. We have advised the Selling Stockholders that they should consult with their own legal counsel to ensure compliance with Regulation M.

The holders of common stock are entitled to one vote per share on each matter submitted to a vote at any meeting of stockholders. Shares of common stock do not carry cumulative voting rights and, therefore, a majority of the shares of outstanding common stock will be able to elect the entire board of directors and, if they do so, minority stockholders would not be able to elect any persons to the board of directors. Our bylaws provide that a majority of our issued and outstanding shares constitutes a quorum for stockholders’ meetings, except respecting certain matters for which a greater percentage quorum is required by statute or the bylaws.
Our stockholders have no preemptive rights to acquire additional shares of common stock or other securities. The common stock is not subject to redemption and carries no subscription or conversion rights. In the event of our liquidation, the shares of common stock are entitled to share equally in corporate assets after satisfaction of all liabilities.
Holders of common stock are entitled to receive such dividends as the board of directors may, from time to time, declare out of funds legally available for the payment of dividends. We seek growth and expansion of our business through the reinvestment of profits, if any, and do not anticipate that we will pay dividends in the foreseeable future.
Preferred Stock
Our amended and restated articles of incorporation authorize the issuance of 10,000,00050,000,000 shares of preferred stock.stock, par value $0.001. The board of directors is empowered, without stockholder approval, to designate and issue additional series of preferred stock with dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting, or other rights or restrictions, including the right to issue convertible securities with no limitations on conversion, which could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of our common stock, substantially dilute a common stockholder’s interest, and depress the price of our common stock.
Authority to Issue Stock
The board of directors has the authority to issue the authorized but unissued shares of common stock without action by the stockholders. The issuance of such shares would reduce the percentage ownership held by current stockholders.
As of February 12, 2020, there were 3,013,490,408 shares of our common stock outstanding and 121,345,168 shares reserved for issuance pursuant to outstanding convertible notes; and 37,500,000 shares reserved for issuance pursuant to outstanding grants under the 2020 Employee Incentive Plan.

Voting Rights
Holders of our Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters properly submitted to a vote of stockholders on which holders of common stock are entitled to vote.

No Preemptive or Similar Rights
Our Common Stock is not entitled to preemptive rights, and is not subject to conversion, redemption or sinking fund provisions.
Right to Receive Liquidation Distributions

Preferred Stock
Our Board is authorized, subject to limitations prescribed by the NRS, to issue preferred stock in one or more series, to establish from time to time the number of shares to be included in each series, and to fix the designation, powers, preferences and rights of the shares of each Series and any of its qualifications, limitations or restrictions, in each case without further vote or action by our stockholders. Our Board can also increase (but not above the total number of authorized shares of the class) or decrease (but not below the number of shares then outstanding) the number of shares of any series of preferred stock, without any further vote or action by our stockholders. Our Board may authorize the issuance of preferred stock with voting or conversion rights that could adversely affect the voting power or other rights of the holders of our common stock or other series of preferred stock. The issuance of preferred stock, while providing flexibility in connection with possible financings, acquisitions and other corporate purposes, could, among other things, have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in our control of our company and might adversely affect the market price of our common stock and the voting and other rights of the holders of our common stock.
Issuance of Undesignated Preferred Stock.
Our Board has the authority, without further action by the stockholders, to issue up to 10,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock with rights and preferences, including voting rights, designated from time to time by our Board.

As of December 31, 2019, we had no preferred stock issued or outstanding.
The existence of authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock would enable our Board to render more difficult or to discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or other means.

Description of OFFERED SECURITIES
The following description summarizes the most important terms of the Units, the Series B Preferred, the Warrants, and the NRS. This summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the provisions of our Certificate of Incorporation, Certificate of Designations of the Series B Preferred, our Bylaws, and the form of Warrant, copies of which have been filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.

Series B Preferred
General
We are currently authorized to designate and issue up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, in one or more classes or Series and, subject to the limitations prescribed by our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and the NRS, with such rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of each class or series of preferred stock, including dividend rights, voting rights, terms of redemption, liquidation preferences and the number of shares constituting any class or Series our Board may determine, without any vote or action by our stockholders. As of the date of this prospectus, we had 2,000,000 authorized but unissued shares of Series B Preferred.
The Series B Preferred offered hereby will be fully paid and nonassessable. Our Board may, without the approval of holders of the Series B Preferred or our Common Stock, designate additional series of authorized preferred stock ranking junior to or on parity with the Series B Preferred and authorize the issuance of such shares. Designation of preferred stock ranking senior to the Series B Preferred will require approval of the holders of Series B Preferred, as described below in “Voting Rights.”
No Maturity, Sinking Fund or Mandatory Redemption
The Series B Preferred has no stated maturity and will not be subject to any sinking fund or mandatory redemption. Shares of the Series B Preferred will remain outstanding indefinitely unless we decide to redeem or otherwise repurchase them. We are not required to set aside funds to redeem the Series B Preferred.
Ranking
The Series B Preferred will rank, with respect to rights to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up:
(1) | senior to all classes or series of our common stock (except where common stockholders have contractual rights and preferences described in paragraph (2) below) and to all other equity securities issued by us other than equity securities referred to in paragraph (3) below; | |
(2) | junior to future equity securities issued by us with terms specifically providing that those equity securities rank senior to the Series B Preferred with respect to rights to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up (See “Voting Rights” below); | |
(3) | effectively junior to all of our existing and future indebtedness (including indebtedness convertible to our common stock or preferred stock). |
Dividends
Holders of shares of Series B Preferred are entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board, out of funds of the Company legally available for the payment of dividends, cumulative cash dividends at the rate of 13% of the Stated Value of $25 per share per annum (equivalent to $3.25 per annum per share). Plan of Distribution – Escrow Agreement.” Dividends on the Series B Preferred are be payable monthly on the 15th day of each month; provided that if any dividend payment date is not a business day, as defined in the Certificate of Designations, then the dividend that would otherwise have been payable on that dividend payment date may be paid on the next succeeding business day and no interest, additional dividends or other sums will accrue on the amount so payable for the period from and after that dividend payment date to that next succeeding business day. Any dividend payable on the Series B Preferred, including dividends payable for any partial dividend period, will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. However, the shares of Series B Preferred offered hereby will be credited as having accrued dividends since the first day of the calendar month in which they are issued. Dividends will be payable to holders of record as they appear in our stock records for the Series B Preferred at the close of business on the applicable Dividend Record Date, which shall be the last day of the calendar month, whether or not a business day, immediately preceding the month in which the applicable dividend payment date falls. As a result, holders of shares of Series B Preferred will not be entitled to receive dividends on a dividend payment date if such shares were not issued and outstanding on the applicable Dividend Record Date.
83 |
No dividends on shares of Series B Preferred shall be authorized by our Board or paid or set apart for payment by us at any time when the terms and provisions of any agreement of ours, including any agreement relating to our indebtedness, prohibit the authorization, payment or setting apart for payment thereof or provide that the authorization, payment or setting apart for payment thereof would constitute a breach of the agreement or a default under the agreement, or if the authorization, payment or setting apart for payment shall be restricted or prohibited by law. You should review the information appearing above under“Risk Factors—We may not be able to pay dividends on the Series B Preferred” for information as to, among other things, other circumstances under which we may be unable to pay dividends on the Series B Preferred.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, dividends on the Series B Preferred will accrue whether or not we have earnings, whether or not there are funds legally available for the payment of those dividends and whether or not those dividends are declared by our Board. No interest, or sum in lieu of interest, will be payable in respect of any dividend payment or payments on the Series B Preferred that may be in arrears, and holders of the Series B Preferred will not be entitled to any dividends in excess of full cumulative dividends described above. Any dividend payment made on the Series B Preferred shall first be credited against the earliest accumulated but unpaid dividend due with respect to those shares.
Future distributions on our common stock and preferred stock, including the Series B Preferred will be at the discretion of our Board and will depend on, among other things, our results of operations, cash flow from operations, financial condition and capital requirements, any debt service requirements and any other factors our Board deems relevant. Accordingly, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to make cash distributions on our preferred stock or what the actual distributions will be for any future period.
Unless full cumulative dividends on all shares of Series B Preferred have been or contemporaneously are declared and paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof has been or contemporaneously is set apart for payment for all past dividend periods, no dividends (other than in shares of common stock or in shares of any series of preferred stock that we may issue ranking junior to the Series B Preferred as to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) shall be declared or paid or set aside for payment upon shares of our common stock or preferred stock that we may issue ranking junior to, or on a parity with, the Series B Preferred as to the payment of dividends or the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up. Nor shall any other distribution be declared or made on shares of our common stock or preferred stock that we may issue ranking junior to, or on a parity with, the Series B Preferred as to the payment of dividends or the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up. Also, any shares of our common stock or preferred stock that we may issue ranking junior to or on a parity with the Series B Preferred as to the payment of dividends or the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up shall not be redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired for any consideration (or any moneys paid to or made available for a sinking fund for the redemption of any such shares) by us (except by conversion into or exchange for our other capital stock that we may issue ranking junior to the Series B Preferred as to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up).
When dividends are not paid in full (or a sum sufficient for such full payment is not so set apart) upon the Series B Preferred and the shares of any other series of preferred stock that we may issue ranking on a parity as to the payment of dividends with the Series B Preferred, all dividends declared on the Series B Preferred and any other series of preferred stock that we may issue ranking on a parity as to the payment of dividends with the Series B Preferred shall be declared pro rata so that the amount of dividends declared per share of Series B Preferred and such other series of preferred stock that we may issue shall in all cases bear to each other the same ratio that accrued dividends per share on the Series B Preferred and such other series of preferred stock that we may issue (which shall not include any accrual in respect of unpaid dividends for prior dividend periods if such preferred stock does not have a cumulative dividend) bear to each other. No interest, or sum of money in lieu of interest, shall be payable in respect of any dividend payment or payments on the Series B Preferred that may be in arrears.
Liquidation Preference
In the event of our voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the holders of shares of Series B Preferred will be entitled to be paid out of the assets we have legally available for distribution to our stockholders, with respect to the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, a liquidation preference of $25 per share, plus an amount equal to any accumulated and unpaid dividends to, but not including, the date of payment, before any distribution of assets is made to holders of our common stock or any other class or series of our capital stock we may issue that ranks junior to the Series B Preferred as to liquidation rights.
In the event that, upon any such voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up, our available assets are insufficient to pay the amount of the liquidating distributions on all outstanding shares of Series B Preferred and the corresponding amounts payable on all shares of other classes or series of our capital stock that we may issue ranking on a parity with the Series B Preferred in the distribution of assets, then the holders of the Series B Preferred and all other such classes or series of capital stock shall share ratably in any such distribution of assets in proportion to the full liquidating distributions to which they would otherwise be respectively entitled.
84 |
Holders of Series B Preferred will be entitled to written notice of any such liquidation, dissolution or winding up of no fewer than 30 days and no more than 60 days prior to the payment date. After payment of the full amount of the liquidating distributions to which they are entitled, the holders of Series B Preferred will have no right or claim to any of our remaining assets. The consolidation or merger of us with or into any other corporation, trust or entity or of any other entity with or into us, or the sale, lease, transfer or conveyance of all or substantially all of our property or business, shall not be deemed a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of us (although such events may give rise to the special optional redemption to the extent described below).
Redemption
The Series B Preferred is not redeemable by us prior to the three-year anniversary of the date of first issuance of each respective share, except upon a change of control.
On and after the three year anniversary of the date of each issuance, we may, at our option and upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ written notice, redeem the Series B Preferred, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, for cash at a redemption price of $25 per share, plus any accumulated and unpaid dividends thereon to, but not including, the date fixed for redemption.
Upon the occurrence of a change of control, whether before or after the three year anniversary of the date of the first issuance, we may, at our option, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ written notice, redeem the Series B Preferred, in whole or in part, within 120 days after notice of such Change of Control, for cash at a redemption price of $25 per share, plus any accumulated and unpaid dividends thereon to, but not including, the redemption date.
A “Change of Control” is deemed to occur when any person, including any syndicate or group deemed to be a “person” under Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act of beneficial ownership, directly or indirectly, through a purchase, merger or other acquisition transaction or series of purchases, mergers or other acquisition transactions shall have acquired our stock entitling that person to exercise more than 50% of the total voting power of all our stock entitled to vote generally in the election of our directors (except that such person will be deemed to have beneficial ownership of all securities that such person has the right to acquire, whether such right is currently exercisable or is exercisable only upon the occurrence of a subsequent condition).
Redemption Procedures
In the event we elect to redeem Series B Preferred, the notice of redemption will be mailed to each holder of record of the Series B Preferred called for redemption at such holder’s address as it appear on our stock transfer records, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption date, and will state the following:
● | the redemption date; | |
● | the number of shares of Series B Preferred to be redeemed; | |
● | the redemption price of $25 per share plus any accrued but unpaid dividends; | |
● | the place or places where certificates (if any) for the Series B Preferred are to be surrendered for payment of the redemption price; | |
● | that dividends on the shares to be redeemed will cease to accumulate on the redemption date; | |
● | if applicable, that such redemption is being made in connection with a Change of Control and, in that case, a brief description of the transaction or transactions constituting such Change of Control. |
If less than all of the Series B Preferred held by any holder are to be redeemed, the notice mailed to such holder shall also specify the number of shares of Series B Preferred held by such holder to be redeemed. No failure to give such notice or any defect thereto or in the mailing thereof shall affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any shares of Series B Preferred except as to the holder to whom notice was defective or not given.
Holders of Series B Preferred to be redeemed shall surrender the Series B Preferred at the place designated in the notice of redemption and shall be entitled to the redemption price and any accumulated and unpaid dividends payable upon the redemption following the surrender. If notice of redemption of any shares of Series B Preferred has been given and if we have irrevocably set aside the funds necessary for redemption in trust for the benefit of the holders of the shares of Series B Preferred so called for redemption, then from and after the redemption date (unless default shall be made by us in providing for the payment of the redemption price plus accumulated and unpaid dividends, if any), dividends will cease to accrue on those shares of Series B Preferred, those shares of Series B Preferred shall no longer be deemed outstanding and all rights of the holders of those shares will terminate, except the right to receive the redemption price plus accumulated and unpaid dividends, if any, payable upon redemption. If any redemption date is not a business day, then the redemption price and accumulated and unpaid dividends, if any, payable upon redemption may be paid on the next business day and no interest, additional dividends or other sums will accrue on the amount payable for the period from and after that redemption date to that next business day. If less than all of the outstanding Series B Preferred is to be redeemed, the Series B Preferred to be redeemed shall be selected pro rata (as nearly as may be practicable without creating fractional shares) or by any other equitable method we determine.
85 |
In connection with any redemption of Series B Preferred, we shall pay, in cash, any accumulated and unpaid dividends to, but not including, the redemption date, unless a redemption date falls after a Dividend Record Date and prior to the corresponding dividend payment date, in which case each holder of Series B Preferred at the close of business on such Dividend Record Date shall be entitled to the dividend payable on such shares on the corresponding dividend payment date notwithstanding the redemption of such shares before such dividend payment date. Except as provided above, we will make no payment or allowance for unpaid dividends, whether or not in arrears, on shares of the Series B Preferred to be redeemed.
Unless full cumulative dividends on all shares of Series B Preferred have been or contemporaneously are declared and paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof has been or contemporaneously is set apart for payment for all past dividend periods, no shares of Series B Preferred shall be redeemed unless all outstanding shares of Series B Preferred are simultaneously redeemed and we shall not purchase or otherwise acquire directly or indirectly any shares of Series B Preferred (except by exchanging it for our capital stock ranking junior to the Series B Preferred as to the payment of dividends and distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up); provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prevent the purchase or acquisition by us of shares of Series B Preferred pursuant to a purchase or exchange offer made on the same terms to holders of all outstanding shares of Series B Preferred.
Subject to applicable law, we may purchase shares of Series B Preferred in the open market, by tender or by private agreement. Any shares of Series B Preferred that we acquire may be retired and reclassified as authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock, without designation as to class or series, and may thereafter be reissued as any class or series of preferred stock.
Voting Rights
Holders of the Series B Preferred do not have any voting rights, except as set forth below or as otherwise required by the NRS.
On each matter on which holders of Series B Preferred are entitled to vote, each share of Series B Preferred will be entitled to one vote.
So long as any shares of Series B Preferred remain outstanding, we will not, without the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of at least two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast by the holders of the Series B Preferred outstanding at the time, given in person or by proxy, either in writing or at a meeting (voting together as a class with all other series of parity preferred stock that we may issue upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable), (a) authorize or create, or increase the authorized or issued amount of, any class or series of capital stock ranking senior to the Series B Preferred with respect to payment of dividends or the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up or reclassify any of our authorized capital stock into such shares, or create, authorize or issue any obligation or security convertible into or evidencing the right to purchase any such shares; or (b) amend, alter, repeal or replace our amended and restated Certificate of Incorporation, including by way of a merger, consolidation or otherwise in which we may or may not be the surviving entity, so as to materially and adversely affect and deprive holders of Series B Preferred of any right, preference, privilege or voting power of the Series B Preferred (each, an “Event”). An increase in the amount of the authorized preferred stock, including the Series B Preferred, or the creation or issuance of any additional Series B Preferred or other series of preferred stock that we may issue, or any increase in the amount of authorized shares of such series, in each case ranking on a parity with or junior to the Series B Preferred with respect to payment of dividends or the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, shall not be deemed an Event and will not require us to obtain two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast by the holders of the Series B Preferred and all such other similarly affected series, outstanding at the time (voting together as a class).
The foregoing voting provisions will not apply if, at or prior to the time when the act with respect to which such vote would otherwise be required shall be effected, all outstanding shares of Series B Preferred shall have been redeemed or called for redemption upon proper notice and sufficient funds shall have been deposited in trust to effect such redemption.
Except as expressly stated in the Certificate of Designations, filed as Exhibit __ hereto, or as may be required by applicable law, the Series B Preferred do not have any relative, participating, optional or other special voting rights or powers and the consent of the holders thereof shall not be required for the taking of any corporate action.
No Conversion Rights
The Series B Preferred is not convertible into our common stock or any other security of the Company.
86 |
No Preemptive Rights
The holders of the Series B Preferred will not, as holders of Series B Preferred, have any preemptive rights to purchase or subscribe for our common stock or any other security.
Change of Control
Provisions in our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws may make it difficult and expensive for a third party to pursue a tender offer, change of control or takeover attempt, which is opposed by management and our Board.
Anti-Dilution Rights
The Certificate of Designations for the Series B Preferred provides that if we effect a stock dividend, a stock split or a reverse split of the Series B Preferred, the dividend and redemption rates will be proportionately adjusted.
Warrants
Holders of each Warrant may purchase one share of our Common Stock at an exercise price of $_.00 per share, subject to adjustment as discussed below under “Exercise Price/Adjustment”, immediately following the sale of each Unit and terminating at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, for a period of five years after the date of issuance.
Exercisability
The Warrants are exercisable at any time after their original issuance and at any time up to the date that is five years after their original issuance. The Warrants may be exercised upon surrender of the Warrant certificate on or prior to the expiration date at the offices of our stock transfer agent , with the exercise form on the reverse side of the Warrant certificate completed and executed as indicated, accompanied by full payment of the exercise price, by certified or official bank check payable to us, for the number of warrants being exercised.
Exercise Limitation
A holder may not exercise any portion of a Warrant to the extent that the holder, together with its affiliates and any other person or entity acting as a group, would own more than 4.99% of the outstanding common stock after exercise, as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of the Warrant, except that upon prior notice from the holder to us, the holder may waive such limitation up to a percentage not in excess of 9.99%.
Exercise Price/Adjustment
The exercise price of the Warrants is $_.00 per share (“Exercise Price”). The Exercise Price is subject to proportionate adjustment in the event of certain stock dividends and distributions, stock splits, reverse splits, reclassifications or similar events affecting our common stock.
In addition, the exercise price of the Warrants is subject to adjustment in the event during the five year exercise period from the original issuance of the Warrants, if we sell any shares of our Common Stock or securities exchangeable or exercisable or convertible into our Common Stock, subject to certain exceptions, at a price per share less than the exercise price of the Warrants then in effect or without consideration.
Fractional Shares
No fractional shares of our common stock will be issued upon exercise of the Warrants. If, upon exercise of any Warrant, a holder would be entitled to receive a fractional interest in a share of our common stock, we will, upon exercise, round up to the number of shares of commons stock to the next whole share.
Transferability
Subject to applicable laws, the Warrants may be offered for sale, sold, transferred or assigned without our consent.
87 |
Warrant Agent; Global Certificate
The Warrants will be issued in registered form under a warrant agent agreement between the Warrant Agent and us.

Rights as a Stockholder
The Warrant holders do not have the rights or privileges of holders of our common stock or any voting rights until their respective Warrants are exercised and shares of our common stock are issued upon such exercise. After the issuance of shares of common stock upon exercise of the Warrants, each holder will be entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters on which our stockholders are entitled to vote.
Governing Law
The Warrants and he warrant agent agreement are governed by Nevada law.
Trading Market
We expect that the Units, the Series B Preferred and the Warrants will be quoted on the OTCQB under the symbols INVUU, INVUB AND INVUW, respectively.
Our goal is to apply to Nasdaq or OTCQX or OTCQB to list our Common Stock, Units, Series B Preferred, and Warrants on that exchange but there can be no assurance that any of our securities will, in fact, qualify for listing or quotation on Nasdaq or the OTCQX or OTCQB. We presently do not meet all of Nasdaq’s quantitative initial listing requirements or the OTCQX quotation requirements. If in the future we believe we do comply with the Nasdaq initial listing quantitative requirements, we must also meet its qualitative requirements. We cannot assure you that any of our securities will be listed on Nasdaq, OTCQX or OTCQB. However, our plan is to have the initial closing of our Units after the sale of 200,000 Units, resulting in proceeds of $5.0 million which will qualify for quotation on the OTCQB, provided that we have the minimum number of holders of the Series B Preferred and Warrants. See“Risk Factors.”

Standard Registrar & Transfer Co., Inc will act as the registrar, transfer agent and dividend and redemption price disbursing agent in respect of the Series B Preferred.

The following discussion summarizes certain U.S. federal income tax considerations that may be applicable to “U.S. holders” and “non-U.S. holders” (each as defined below) with respect to the purchase, ownership and disposition of the Series B Preferred offered by this prospectus. This discussion only applies to purchasers who purchase and hold the Series B Preferred as a capital asset within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code (generally property held for investment). This discussion does not describe all of the tax consequences that may be relevant to each purchaser or holder of the Series B Preferred in light of its particular circumstances.
This discussion is based upon provisions of the Code, Treasury regulations, rulings and judicial decisions as of the date hereof. These authorities may change, perhaps retroactively, which could result in U.S. federal income tax consequences different from those summarized below. This discussion does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation (such as the alternative minimum tax) and does not describe any foreign, state, local or other tax considerations that may be relevant to a purchaser or holder of the Series B Preferred in light of their particular circumstances. In addition, this discussion does not describe the U.S. federal income tax consequences applicable to a purchaser or a holder of the Series B Preferred who is subject to special treatment under U.S. federal income tax laws (including, a corporation that accumulates earnings to avoid U.S. federal income tax, a pass-through entity or an investor in a pass-through entity, a tax-exempt entity, pension or other employee benefit plans, financial institutions or broker-dealers, persons holding the Series B Preferred as part of a hedging or conversion transaction or straddle, a person subject to the alternative minimum tax, an insurance company, former U.S. citizens or former long-term U.S. residents). We cannot assure you that a change in law will not significantly alter the tax considerations that we describe in this discussion.
If a partnership (or any other entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holds the Series B Preferred, the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a partner of that partnership generally will depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. If you are a partnership or a partner of a partnership holding the Series B Preferred, you should consult your tax advisors as to the particular U.S. federal income tax consequences of holding and disposing of the Series B Preferred.
You should consult your own tax advisor concerning the U.S. federal income tax consequences to you of acquiring, owning, and disposing of these securities, as well as any tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local, foreign, or other tax jurisdiction and the possible effects of changes in U.S. federal or other tax laws.
U.S. Holders
Subject to the qualifications set forth above, the following discussion summarizes certain U.S. federal income tax considerations that may relate to the purchase, ownership and disposition of the Series B Preferred by “U.S. holders.” You are a “U.S. holder” if you are a beneficial owner of Series B Preferred and you are for U.S. federal income tax purposes;
- | an individual citizen or resident of the United States; |
- | a corporation (or other entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia; |
- | an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source; or |
- | a trust if it (i) is subject to the primary supervision of a court within the United States and one or more United States persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (ii) has a valid election in effect under applicable United States Treasury regulations to be treated as a United States person. |
Distributions in General.If distributions are made with respect to the Series B Preferred, such distributions will be treated as dividends to the extent of our current or accumulated earnings and profits as determined under the Code. We do not, however, currently have current or accumulated earnings and profits. Any portion of a distribution that exceeds such earnings and profits will first be applied to reduce a U.S. holder’s tax basis in the Series B Preferred on a share-by-share basis, and the excess will be treated as gain from the disposition of the Series B Preferred, the tax treatment of which is discussed below under “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations – U.S. Holders: Disposition of Series B Preferred, Including Redemptions.”
Under current law, dividends received by individual holders of the Series B Preferred will be subject to a reduced maximum tax rate of 20% if such dividends are treated as “qualified dividend income” for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The rate reduction does not apply to dividends received to the extent that the individual shareholder elects to treat the dividends as “investment income,” which may be offset against investment expenses. Furthermore, the rate reduction does not apply to dividends that are paid to individual stockholders with respect to Series B Preferred that is held for 60 days or less during the 121 day period beginning on the date which is 60 days before the date on which the Series B Preferred becomes ex-dividend (or where the dividend is attributable to a period or periods in excess of 366 days, Series B Preferred that is held for 90 days or less during the 181 day period beginning on the date which is 90 days before the date on which the Series B Preferred becomes ex-dividend). Also, if a dividend received by an individual shareholder that qualifies for the rate reduction is an “extraordinary dividend” within the meaning of Section 1059 of the Code, any loss recognized by such individual shareholder on a subsequent disposition of the stock will be treated as long-term capital loss to the extent of such “extraordinary dividend,” irrespective of such shareholder’s holding period for the stock. In addition, dividends recognized by U.S. holders that are individuals could be subject to the 3.8% tax on net investment income. Individual stockholders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the implications of these rules in light of their particular circumstances.

Dividends received by corporate stockholders generally will be eligible for the dividends-received deduction. Generally, this deduction is allowed if the underlying stock is held for at least 46 days during the 91 day period beginning on the date 45 days before the ex-dividend date of the stock, and for cumulative preferred stock with an arrearage of dividends attributable to a period in excess of 366 days, the holding period is at least 91 days during the 181 day period beginning on the date 90 days before the ex-dividend date of the stock. Corporate stockholders of the Series B Preferred should also consider the effect of Section 246A of the Code, which reduces the dividends-received deduction allowed to a corporate shareholder that has incurred indebtedness that is “directly attributable” to an investment in portfolio stock such as preferred stock. If a corporate shareholder receives a dividend on the Series B Preferred that is an “extraordinary dividend” within the meaning of Section 1059 of the Code, the shareholder in certain instances must reduce its basis in the Series B Preferred by the amount of the “nontaxed portion” of such “extraordinary dividend” that results from the application of the dividends-received deduction. If the “nontaxed portion” of such “extraordinary dividend” exceeds such corporate shareholder’s basis, any excess will be taxed as gain as if such shareholder had disposed of its shares in the year the “extraordinary dividend” is paid. Each domestic corporate holder of the Series B Preferred is urged to consult with its tax advisors with respect to the eligibility for and the amount of any dividends received deduction and the application of Code Section 1059 to any dividends it may receive on the Series B Preferred.
Constructive Distributions on Series B Preferred.A distribution by a corporation of its stock deemed made with respect to its preferred stock is treated as a distribution of property to which Section 301 of the Code applies. If a corporation issues preferred stock that may be redeemed at a price higher than its issue price, the excess (a “redemption premium”) is treated under certain circumstances as a constructive distribution (or series of constructive distributions) of additional preferred stock. The constructive distribution of property equal to the redemption premium would accrue without regard to the holder’s method of accounting for U.S. federal income tax purposes at a constant yield determined under principles similar to the determination of original issue discount (“OID”) pursuant to Treasury regulations under Sections 1271 through 1275 of the Code (the “OID Rules”). The constructive distributions of property would be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as actual distributions of the Series B Preferred that would constitute a dividend, return of capital or capital gain to the holder of the stock in the same manner as cash distributions described under “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations – U.S. Holders: Distributions in General.” The application of principles similar to those applicable to debt instruments with OID to a redemption premium for the Series B Preferred is uncertain.
We have the right to call the Series B Preferred for redemption on or after November 4, 2020 (the “call option”), and have the option to redeem the Series B Preferred upon any Change of Control (the “contingent call option”). The stated redemption price of the Series B Preferred upon any redemption pursuant to our call option or contingent call option is equal to the liquidation preference of the Series B Preferred (i.e., $25.00, plus accrued and unpaid dividends) and is payable in cash.
If the redemption price of the Series B Preferred exceeds the issue price of the Series B Preferred Stock upon any redemption pursuant to our call option or contingent call option, the excess will be treated as a redemption premium that may result in certain circumstances in a constructive distribution or series of constructive distributions to U.S. holders of additional Series B Preferred. The redemption price for the Series B Preferred should be the liquidation preference of the Series B Preferred Assuming that the issue price of the Series B Preferred is determined under principles similar to the OID Rules, the issue price for the Series B Preferred should be the initial Offering price to the public (excluding bond houses and brokers) at which a substantial amount of the Series B Preferred is sold.
A redemption premium for the Series B Preferred should not result in constructive distributions to U.S. holders of the Series B Preferred if the redemption premium is less than a de-minimis amount as determined under principles similar to the OID Rules. A redemption premium for the Series B Preferred should be considered de-minimis if such premium is less than .0025 of the Series B Preferred liquidation value of $__ at maturity, multiplied by the number of complete years to maturity. Because the determination under the OID Rules of a maturity date for the Series B Preferred is unclear, the remainder of this discussion assumes that the Series B Preferred is issued with a redemption premium greater than a de-minimis amount.
The call option should not require constructive distributions of the redemption premium, if based on all of the facts and circumstances as of the issue date, a redemption pursuant to the call option is not more likely than not to occur. The Treasury regulations provide that an issuer’s right to redeem will not be treated as more likely than not to occur if: (i) the issuer and the holder of the stock are not related within the meaning of Section 267(b) or Section 707(b) of the Code (substituting “20%” for the phrase “50%); (ii) there are no plans, arrangements, or agreements that effectively require or are intended to compel the issuer to redeem the stock; and (iii) exercise of the right to redeem would not reduce the yield on the stock determined using principles applicable to the determination of OID under the OID Rules. The fact that a redemption right is not within the safe harbor described in the preceding sentence does not mean that an issuer’s right to redeem is more likely than not to occur and the issuer’s right to redeem must still be tested under all the facts and circumstances to determine if it is more likely than not to occur. We do not believe that a redemption pursuant to the call option should be treated as more likely than not to occur under the foregoing test. Accordingly, no U.S. holder of the Series B Preferred should be required to recognize constructive distributions of the redemption premium because of our call option.

Disposition of Series B Preferred, Including Redemptions.Upon any sale, exchange, redemption (except as discussed below) or other disposition of the Series B Preferred, a U.S. holder will recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized by the U.S. holder and the U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in the Series B Preferred. Such capital gain or loss will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. holder’s holding period for the Series B Preferred is longer than one year. A U.S. holder should consult its own tax advisors with respect to applicable tax rates and netting rules for capital gains and losses. Certain limitations exist on the deduction of capital losses by both corporate and non-corporate taxpayers. In addition, gains recognized by U.S. holders that are individuals could be subject to the 3.8% tax on net investment income.
A redemption of shares of the Series B Preferred will generally be a taxable event. If the redemption is treated as a sale or exchange, instead of a dividend, a U.S. holder will recognize capital gain or loss (which will be long-term capital gain or loss, if the U.S. holder’s holding period for such Series B Preferred exceeds one year) equal to the difference between the amount realized by the U.S. holder and the U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in the Series B Preferred redeemed, except to the extent that any cash received is attributable to any accrued but unpaid dividends on the Series B Preferred, which will be subject to the rules discussed above in “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations – U.S. Holders: Distributions in General.” A payment made in redemption of Series B Preferred may be treated as a dividend, rather than as payment in exchange for the Series B Preferred, unless the redemption:
● | is “not essentially equivalent to a dividend” with respect to a U.S. holder under Section 302(b)(1) of the Code; |
● | is a “substantially disproportionate” redemption with respect to a U.S. holder under Section 302(b)(2) of the Code; |
● | results in a “complete redemption” of a U.S. holder’s stock interest in the company under Section 302(b)(3) of the Code; or |
● | is a redemption of stock held by a non-corporate shareholder, which results in a partial liquidation of the company under Section 302(b)(4) of the Code. |
In determining whether any of these tests has been met, a U.S. holder must take into account not only shares of the Series B Preferred and the common stock that the U.S. Holder actually owns, but also shares of stock that the U.S. holder constructively owns within the meaning of Section 318 of the Code.
A redemption payment will be treated as “not essentially equivalent to a dividend” if it results in a “meaningful reduction” in a U.S. holder’s aggregate stock interest in the company, which will depend on the U.S. holder’s particular facts and circumstances at such time. If the redemption payment is treated as a dividend, the rules discussed above in “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations – U.S. Holders: Distributions in General” apply.
Satisfaction of the “complete redemption” and “substantially disproportionate” exceptions is dependent upon compliance with the objective tests set forth in Section 302(b)(3) and Section 302(b)(2) of the Code, respectively. A redemption will result in a “complete redemption” if either all of the shares of our stock actually and constructively owned by a U.S. holder are exchanged in the redemption or all of the shares of our stock actually owned by the U.S. holder are exchanged in the redemption and the U.S. holder is eligible to waive, and the U.S. holder effectively waives, the attribution of shares of our stock constructively owned by the U.S. holder in accordance with the procedures described in Section 302(c)(2) of Code. A redemption does not qualify for the “substantially disproportionate” exception if the stock redeemed is only non-voting stock, and for this purpose, stock which does not have voting rights until the occurrence of an event is not voting stock until the occurrence of the specified event. Accordingly, any redemption of the Series B Preferred generally will not qualify for this exception because the voting rights are limited as provided in the “Description of Series B Preferred -Voting Rights.” For purposes of the “redemption from non-corporate stockholders in a partial liquidation” test, a distribution will be treated as in partial liquidation of a corporation if the distribution is not essentially equivalent to a dividend (determined at the corporate level rather than the shareholder level) and the distribution is pursuant to a plan and occurs within the taxable year in which the plan was adopted or within the succeeding taxable year. For these purposes, a distribution is generally not essentially equivalent to a dividend if the distribution results in a corporate contraction. The determination of what constitutes a corporate contraction is factual in nature, and has been interpreted under case law to include the termination of a business or line of business. Each U.S. holder of the Series B Preferred should consult its own tax advisors to determine whether a payment made in redemption of the Series B Preferred will be treated as a dividend or a payment in exchange for the Series B Preferred. If the redemption payment is treated as a dividend, the rules discussed above in “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations – U.S. Holders: Distributions in General” apply. Under proposed Treasury regulations, if any amount received by a U.S. holder in redemption of Series B Preferred is treated as a distribution with respect to such holder’s Series B Preferred, but not as a dividend, such amount will be allocated to all shares of the Series B Preferred held by such holder immediately before the redemption on a pro rata basis. The amount applied to each share will reduce such holder’s adjusted tax basis in that share and any excess after the basis is reduced to zero will result in taxable gain. If such holder has different bases in shares of the Series B Preferred, then the amount allocated could reduce a portion of the basis in certain shares while reducing all of the basis, and giving rise to taxable gain, in other shares. Thus, such holder could have gain even if such holder’s aggregate adjusted tax basis in all shares of the Series B Preferred held exceeds the aggregate amount of such distribution.
91 |
The proposed Treasury regulations permit the transfer of basis in the redeemed shares of the Series B Preferred to the holder’s remaining, unredeemed Series B Preferred (if any), but not to any other class of stock held, directly or indirectly, by the holder. Any unrecovered basis in the Series B Preferred would be treated as a deferred loss to be recognized when certain conditions are satisfied. The proposed Treasury regulations would be effective for transactions that occur after the date the regulations are published as final Treasury regulations. There can, however, be no assurance as to whether, when and in what particular form such proposed Treasury regulations are ultimately finalized.
Information Reporting and Backup Withholding. Information reporting and backup withholding may apply with respect to payments of dividends on the Series B Preferred and to certain payments of proceeds on the sale or other disposition of the Series B Preferred. Certain non-corporate U.S. holders may be subject to U.S. backup withholding (currently at a rate of 24%) on payments of dividends on the Series B Preferred and certain payments of proceeds on the sale or other disposition of the Series B Preferred unless the beneficial owner thereof furnishes the payor or its agent with a taxpayer identification number, certified under penalties of perjury, and certain other information, or otherwise establishes, in the manner prescribed by law, an exemption from backup withholding. U.S. backup withholding tax is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be allowed as a refund or a credit against a U.S. holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, which may entitle the U.S. holder to a refund, provided the U.S. holder timely furnishes the required information to the Internal Revenue Service.
Non-U.S. Holders
Subject to the qualifications set forth above under the caption “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations,” the following discussion summarizes certain U.S. federal income tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of the Series B Preferred by certain “Non-U.S. holders.” You are a “Non-U.S. holder” if you are a beneficial owner of the Series B Preferred and you are not a “U.S. holder.”
Distributions on the Series B Preferred.If distributions are made with respect to the Series B Preferred, such distributions will be treated as dividends to the extent of our current and accumulated earnings and profits as determined under the Code and may be subject to withholding as discussed below. Any portion of a distribution that exceeds our current and accumulated earnings and profits will first be applied to reduce the Non-U.S. holder’s basis in the Series B Preferred and, to the extent such portion exceeds the Non-U.S. holder’s basis, the excess will be treated as gain from the disposition of the Series B Preferred, the tax treatment of which is discussed below under “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations – Non-U.S. Holders: Disposition of Series B Preferred, Including Redemptions.” In addition, if we are a U.S. real property holding corporation, i.e. a “USRPHC,” and any distribution exceeds our current and accumulated earnings and profits, we will need to choose to satisfy our withholding requirements either by treating the entire distribution as a dividend, subject to the withholding rules in the following paragraph (and withhold at a minimum rate of 30% or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty for distributions from a USRPHC), or by treating only the amount of the distribution equal to our reasonable estimate of our current and accumulated earnings and profits as a dividend, subject to the withholding rules in the following paragraph, with the excess portion of the distribution subject to withholding at a rate of 15% or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty as if such excess were the result of a sale of shares in a USRPHC (discussed below under “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations – Non-U.S. Holders: Disposition of Series B Preferred, Including Redemptions”), with a credit generally allowed against the Non-U.S. holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability in an amount equal to the amount withheld from such excess.
Dividends paid to a Non-U.S. holder of the Series B Preferred will be subject to withholding of U.S. federal income tax at a 30% rate or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty. However, dividends that are effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business by the Non-U.S. holder within the United States (and, where a tax treaty applies, are attributable to a permanent establishment maintained by the Non-U.S. holder in the United States) are not subject to the withholding tax, provided that certain certification and disclosure requirements are satisfied including completing Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI (or other applicable form). Instead, such dividends are subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net income basis in the same manner as if the Non-U.S. holder were a United States person as defined under the Code, unless an applicable income tax treaty provides otherwise. Any such effectively connected dividends received by a foreign corporation may be subject to an additional “branch profits tax” at a 30% rate or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty. A Non-U.S. holder of the Series B Preferred who wishes to claim the benefit of an applicable treaty rate and avoid backup withholding, as discussed below, for dividends will be required to (i) complete Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Form W-8BEN-E (or other applicable form) and certify under penalty of perjury that such holder is not a United States person as defined under the Code and is eligible for treaty benefits, or (ii) if the Series B Preferred is held through certain foreign intermediaries, satisfy the relevant certification requirements of applicable Treasury regulations. A Non-U.S. holder of the Series B Preferred eligible for a reduced rate of U.S. withholding tax pursuant to an income tax treaty may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld by timely filing an appropriate claim for refund with the Internal Revenue Service.
92 |
Disposition of Series B Preferred, Including Redemptions.Any gain realized by a Non-U.S. holder on the disposition of the Series B Preferred will not be subject to U.S. federal income or withholding tax unless:
● | the gain is effectively connected with a trade or business of the Non-U.S. holder in the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, is attributable to a permanent establishment maintained by the Non-U.S. holder in the United States); |
● | the Non-U.S. holder is an individual who is present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of disposition, and certain other conditions are met; or |
● | we are or have been a USRPHC for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as such term is defined in Section 897I of the Code, and such Non-U.S. holder owned directly or pursuant to attribution rules at any time during the five year period ending on the date of disposition more than 5% of the Series B Preferred. This assumes that the Series B Preferred is regularly traded on an established securities market, within the meaning of Section 897(c)(3) of the Code. |
A Non-U.S. holder described in the first bullet point immediately above will generally be subject to tax on the net gain derived from the sale under regular graduated U.S. federal income tax rates in the same manner as if the Non-U.S. holder were a United States person as defined under the Code, and if it is a corporation, may also be subject to the branch profits tax equal to 30% of its effectively connected earnings and profits or at such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty. An individual Non-U.S. holder described in the second bullet point immediately above will be subject to a flat 30% tax (or at such reduced rate as may be provided by an applicable treaty) on the gain derived from the sale, which may be offset by U.S. source capital losses, even though the individual is not considered a resident of the United States. A Non-U.S. holder described in the third bullet point above will be subject to U.S. federal income tax under regular graduated U.S. federal income tax rates with respect to the gain recognized in the same manner as if the Non-U.S. holder were a United States person as defined under the Code. If a Non-U.S. holder is subject to U.S. federal income tax on any sale, exchange, redemption (except as discussed below), or other disposition of the Series B Preferred, such a Non-U.S. holder will recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized by the Non-U.S. holder and the Non-U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in the Series B Preferred. Such capital gain or loss will be long-term capital gain or loss if the Non-U.S. holder’s holding period for the Series B Preferred is longer than one year. A Non-U.S. holder should consult its own tax advisors with respect to applicable tax rates and netting rules for capital gains and losses. Certain limitations exist on the deduction of capital losses by both corporate and Non-corporate taxpayers. If a Non-U.S. holder is subject to U.S. federal income tax on any disposition of the Series B Preferred, a redemption of shares of the Series B Preferred will be a taxable event. If the redemption is treated as a sale or exchange, instead of a dividend, a Non-U.S. holder generally will recognize long-term capital gain or loss, if the Non-U.S. holder’s holding period for such Series B Preferred exceeds one year, equal to the difference between the amount of cash received and fair market value of property received and the Non-U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in the Series B Preferred redeemed, except that to the extent that any cash received is attributable to any accrued but unpaid dividends on the Series B Preferred, which generally will be subject to the rules discussed above in “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations - Non-U.S. Holders: Distributions on the Series B Preferred.” A payment made in redemption of the Series B Preferred may be treated as a dividend, rather than as payment in exchange for the Series B Preferred, in the same circumstances discussed above under “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations - U.S. Holders: Disposition of Series B Preferred, Including Redemptions.” Each Non-U.S. holder of the Series B Preferred should consult its own tax advisors to determine whether a payment made in redemption of the Series B Preferred will be treated as a dividend or as payment in exchange for the Series B Preferred.
Information reporting and backup withholding.We must report annually to the Internal Revenue Service and to each Non-U.S. holder the amount of dividends paid to such Non-U.S. holder and the tax withheld with respect to such dividends, regardless of whether withholding was required. Copies of the information returns reporting such dividends and withholding may also be made available to the tax authorities in the country in which the Non-U.S. holder resides under the provisions of an applicable income tax treaty. A Non-U.S. holder will not be subject to backup withholding on dividends paid to such Non-U.S. holder as long as such Non-U.S. holder certifies under penalty of perjury that it is a Non-U.S. holder (and the payor does not have actual knowledge or reason to know that such Non-U.S. holder is a United States person as defined under the Code), or such Non-U.S. holder otherwise establishes an exemption. Depending on the circumstances, information reporting and backup withholding may apply to the proceeds received from a sale or other disposition of the Series B Preferred unless the beneficial owner certifies under penalty of perjury that it is a Non-U.S. holder (and the payor does not have actual knowledge or reason to know that the beneficial owner is a United States person as defined under the Code), or such owner otherwise establishes an exemption. U.S. backup withholding tax is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be allowed as a refund or a credit against a Non-U.S. holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability provided the required information is timely furnished to the Internal Revenue Service.
Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act.Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code (provisions which are commonly referred to as “FATCA”), generally impose a 30% withholding tax on dividends on Series B Preferred paid on or after July 1, 2014 and the gross proceeds of a sale or other disposition of Series B Preferred paid on or after January 1, 2019 to: (i) a foreign financial institution (as that term is defined in Section 1471(d)(4) of the Code) unless that foreign financial institution enters into an agreement with the U.S. Treasury Department to collect and disclose information regarding U.S. account holders of that foreign financial institution (including certain account holders that are foreign entities that have U.S. owners) and satisfies other requirements; and (ii) specified other foreign entities unless such an entity certifies that it does not have any substantial U.S. owners or provides the name, address and taxpayer identification number of each substantial U.S. owner and such entity satisfies other specified requirements. Non-U.S. holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the application of FATCA to them and whether it may be relevant to their purchase, ownership and disposition of Series B Preferred.

INDEX TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of Investview, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Investview, Inc. as of March 31, 2017, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for year then ended. Investview, Inc.’s management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, 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. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Investview, Inc. as of March 31, 2017, 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.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered losses from operations and its current cash flow is not enough to meet current needs. This raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regards to this matter are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2017 AND 2016
1. BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A summary of the significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements follows:
Business and Basis of Presentation
Investview, Inc. (the "Company" or “INVU”) was incorporated on August 10, 2005 under the laws of the State of Nevada as Voxpath Holding, Inc. On September 16, 2006, the Company changed its name to TheRetirementSolution.Com, Inc., on October 1, 2008 to Global Investor Services, Inc. and on March 27, 2012 to Investview, Inc. The Company currently markets directly and through its marketing partners as well as online, certain investor products and services that provide financial and educational information to its prospective customers and to its subscribers.
In August 2014, the Company formed Vickrey Brown Investments, LLC, a limited liability company under the laws of California with 51% membership interests specializing in investment strategies which combine quantitative strategies, forensic accounting and volatility controls. At formation, the minority members paid an aggregate of $1,000 as equity contribution. The Company contributed $120,000 as equity contribution and is contingently obligated to issue 500,000 shares of common stock upon achieving certain milestones (as defined). Prior to all distributions, the Company is to receive 25% of all revenue generated until at which time the $120,000 equity contribution of the Company has been paid.
On December 4, 2014, the Company formed GGI Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of Delaware for the purchase certain assets including the source code and platform use for the development of an electronic marketplace to facilitate impact investing. On December 27, 2014, the Company exchanged 21% ownership of GGI Inc. for two employment agreements. In connection with the aforementioned exchange, the Company charged 21% of the fair value of the net assets distributed of $338,050 as employee compensation expense. On March 13, 2015, the Company sold GGI, Inc. in exchange for $1,147,500 cash, assumption of $579,452 of debt and return of an aggregate of 1,350,000 shares of the Company’s common stock previously issued to acquire CertusHoldings, Inc.
On December 27, 2015, the Company entered into a Second Amended and Restated Operating Agreement whereby the Company surrendered its equity ownership in Vickrey Brown Investments LLC and transferred ownership of SAFE Management LLC (“Safe”) in exchange for 25% of all revenue generated by Vickrey Brown Investments, LLC until an aggregate of $120,000 has been paid and 30.6% of remaining and future revenue
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Investment Tools & Training, LLC ("ITT") and Razor Data Corp ("Razor"). All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
On March 31, 2017, the Company entered into a Contribution Agreement with the members of Wealth Generators, LCC, a limited liability company (“Wealth Generators”), pursuant to which the Wealth Generators Members agreed to contribute 100% of the outstanding securities of Wealth Generators in exchange for an aggregate of 1,358,670,942 shares of the common stock of the Company. The closing of the Wealth Generators Contribution occurred after close of business on March 31, 2017, therefore, effective April 1, 2017, Wealth Generators became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and the former members of Wealth Generators control the majority of the Company’s outstanding common stock (see Note 13).
Revenue Recognition
For revenue from product sales and services, the Company recognizes revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 605-10, Revenue Recognition (“ASC 605-10”) which requires that four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered; (3) the selling price is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured. Determination of criteria (3) and (4) are based on management's judgments regarding the fixed nature of the selling prices of the products delivered and the collectability of those amounts. Provisions for discounts and rebates to customers, estimated returns and allowances, and other adjustments are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded.
The Company defers any revenue for which the product or services has not been delivered or is subject to refund until such time that the Company and the customer jointly determine that the product has been delivered or no refund will be required.
INVESTVIEW, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2017 AND 2016
Revenue arises from subscriptions to the websites/software, workshops, online workshops and training and coaching/counseling services where the customers are charged a monthly subscription fee for access to the online training and courses and website/data. Revenues are recognized in the month the product and services are delivered.
The Company sells its products separately and in various bundles that include website/data subscriptions, educational workshops, online workshops and training, one-on-one coaching and counseling sessions, along with other products and services. The deferral policy for each of the different types of revenues is summarized as follows:
Cost of Sales and Service
The cost of sales and service consists of the cost of the data feeds that supply twenty minute delayed stock market data to the Company’s stock analysis software based tool, external partner commissions and other costs associated with the repair or maintenance of the website.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of March 31, 2017 and 2016. The respective carrying value of certain on-balance-sheet financial instruments approximated their fair values. These financial instruments include cash, notes payable, convertible notes payable, derivative liabilities and accounts payable. Fair values were assumed to approximate carrying values for cash and payables because they are short term in nature and their carrying amounts approximate fair values or they are payable on demand.
Derivative Liability
The Company accounts for derivatives in accordance with ASC 815, which establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other financial instruments or contracts and requires recognition of all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value, regardless of hedging relationship designation. Accounting for changes in fair value of the derivative instruments depends on whether the derivatives qualify as hedge relationships and the types of relationships designated are based on the exposures hedged. At March 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company did not have any derivative instruments that were designated as hedges. See Note 6 for discussion of the Company’s derivative liabilities.
INVESTVIEW, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2017 AND 2016
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for its stock based awards in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 718-10, Compensation (“ASC 718-10”), which requires a fair value measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to its employees and directors, including employee stock options and restricted stock awards. The Company estimates the fair value of stock options granted using the Black-Scholes valuation model. This model requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions including, among other things, estimates regarding the length of time an employee will retain vested stock options before exercising them, the estimated volatility of our common stock price, and the number of options that will be forfeited prior to vesting. The fair value is then amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods of the awards, which is generally the vesting period.
Changes in these estimates and assumptions can materially affect the determination of the fair value of stock-based compensation and consequently, the related amount recognized in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.
Advertising Costs
The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising expense was $598 and $1,654 for the years ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statements of cash flows, cash includes demand deposits, saving accounts and money market accounts. The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. As of March 31, 207 and 2016 the Company had no cash equivalents.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments and related items which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents and trade receivables. The Company places its cash and temporary cash investments with credit quality institutions. At times, such investments may be in excess of the FDIC insurance limit of $250,000. As of March 31, 207 and 2016 the Company had no amounts in excess of the FDIC insurance limit.
Income Taxes
The Company has adopted Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 740-10, Income Taxes (“ASC 740-10”) which requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statement or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between financial statements and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Temporary differences between taxable income reported for financial reporting purposes and income tax purposes consist primarily of derivative liability and stock compensation accounting versus basis differences.
Net Income (Loss) per Share
The Company follows Accounting Standards Codification subtopic 260-10, Earnings Per Share (“ASC 260-10”) specifying the computation, presentation and disclosure requirements of earnings per share information. Basic loss per share has been calculated based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Convertible debt, stock options and warrants (17,045,455, 35,000, and 6,534,810, respectively, as of March 31, 2017) have been excluded common stock equivalents in the diluted loss per share because their effect is anti-dilutive on the computation.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). ASU 2014-09 creates a new topic in the ASC Topic 606 and establishes a new control-based revenue recognition model, changes the basis for deciding when revenue is recognized over time or at a point in time, provides new and more detailed guidance on specific topics, and expands and improves disclosures about revenue. In addition, ASU 2014-09 adds a new Subtopic to the Codification, ASC 340-40, Other Assets and Deferred Costs: Contracts with Customers, to provide guidance on costs related to obtaining a contract with a customer and costs incurred in fulfilling a contract with a customer that are not in the scope of another ASC Topic. The guidance in ASU 2014-09 is effective for public entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods therein. Early application is not permitted. Management is in the process of assessing the impact of ASU 2014-09 on the Company’s financial statements.

The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred significant recurring losses which have resulted in an accumulated deficit of $98,868,122, net loss from operations of $852,371 and a working capital deficit of $976,307 as of and for the year ended March 31, 2017 which raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
During the year ended March 31, 2017, the Company raised $92,500 in cash proceeds from the issuance of a notes and entering into a based factoring agreement, net of repayments, and received proceeds from the sale of stock of $157,500. Additionally, effective April 1, 2017 in conjunction with a Contribution Agreement dated March 31, 2017, Wealth Generators, LLC became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company through a reverse-merger and the Company effectively succeeded its operations to Wealth Generators. Subsequent to March 31, 2017 Wealth Generators received cash proceeds of $825,000 and $30,000 from new debt and equity financing arrangements, respectively (see Note 13).
The Company's primary source of operating funds since inception has been cash proceeds from the private placements of common stock and proceeds from private placements of convertible and other debt. However, through Wealth Generators the Company plans to reduce obligations and fund the Company with cash flow provided by operations. The Company also intends to raise additional capital through private placements of debt and equity securities, but there can be no assurance that these funds will be available on terms acceptable to the Company, or will be sufficient to enable the Company to fully complete its development activities. If the Company is unable to fund the Company through operations or raise sufficient additional funds, it will have to develop and implement a plan to further extend payables, reduce overhead, or scale back its current business plan until sufficient additional capital is raised to support increased operations. There can be no assurance that such a plan will be successful.
Accordingly, the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern and the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities presented in the financial statements do not necessarily purport to represent realizable or settlement values. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustment that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
3. SETTLEMENT PAYABLE
On January 20, 2009, the Company received $200,000 in exchange for a promissory note, payable, due July 20, 2009 with interest due monthly at 20% per annum. The note was secured by common stock of the Company and was personally guaranteed by certain officers of the Company. The note contained certain first right of payment should the Company be successful in raising $500,000 to $1,500,000 in a Private Placement Offering before any payments could be distributed from the escrow at the offering. In connection with the issuance of the promissory note payable, the Company issued warrants to purchase its common stock at $2.00 per share for five years. The fair value of the warrants of $101,183, representing debt discount, has been fully amortized.
On August 12, 2013, Evenflow Funding, LLC ("Evenflow") commenced a civil action (the “NJ Action”) against the Company in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Law Division, Monmouth County (the "Court") bearing Docket No.. Mon-L-3105-13 in collection of the above described promissory note issued January 20, 2009 and related accrued interest.
On October 13, 2014, the Company and Evenflow agreed to a settlement and a Stipulation of Settlement (the "Settlement") was filed with the Court, in connection with the NJ Action. Pursuant to the Settlement, the Company agreed to pay to Evenflow a total of $425,000 (the "Settlement Amount") in quarterly payments (the "Quarterly Payments") equal to 10% of the net revenue (revenue less allowances, returns and payments to revenue sharing agreements) of the Company as reported in the Company's periodic reports filed on Form 10-Q or Form 10-K (collectively, the "Periodic Reports") commencing with the Company's December 31, 2014 Periodic Report. The Quarterly Payments are due and payable by the Company on the tenth day following the filing of each Periodic Report. In addition to the Quarterly Payments, the Company agreed to make an initial payment in the amount of $25,000 upon the filing of the Settlement with the Court, as well as a payment in the amount of $25,000 due on the 12 month anniversary of the initial payment. The aggregate total of all payments including the upfront $25,000, the one year anniversary $25,000, and the quarterly payments is to be $425,000.
As of March 31, 2016, the Company reclassified the promissory note and accrued interest to settlement payable. No material gain or loss was recorded in connection with the settlement. The unpaid balance as of March 31, 2017 and 2016 was $344,392. As of March 31, 2017 the Company was in default on this liability, however, in conjunction with the Wealth Generators reverse-merger, effective April 1, 2017, this liability was assigned and assumed by Alpha Pro Asset Management Group, LLC, an entity associated with the former management of the Company (see Note 13).

During the year ended March 31, 2017 $1,317,861 of the non-related party principal and $277,226 of the accrued interest related to the notes was converted into 31,954,444 shares of the Company’s common stock to reduce the liabilities to zero.
In addition to the above, the following liabilities were paid off during the year ended March 31, 2016 or were entered into and paid off during the year ended March 31, 2017, thus were not included in the table above.
Vis Vires Group, Inc.
On August 27, 2015, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Vis Vires Group, Inc. ("Vis Vires") for the sale of 8% convertible note in the principal amount of $114,000 (the “Vis Vires Note”). The total net proceeds the Company received from these offerings were $110,000, net of fees of $4,000.
The Vis Vires Note bears interest at the rate of 8% per annum and is due May 31, 2016 and is convertible into common stock, at Vis Vires’s option, at a 65% discount to the average of the three lowest closing bid prices of the common stock during the 10 trading day period prior to conversion. On February 26, 2016, the Company paid the total outstanding balance of $114,000 plus accrued interest therefore the note had a $0 balance as of March 31, 2017 and 2016.
At note payoff, February 26, 2016, the Company reclassified the determined fair value of the embedded derivative of $162,190 to equity. The fair value of the derivative was determined using the Binomial Option Pricing Model based on the following assumptions: (1) dividend yield of 0%; (2) expected volatility of 413.62%, (3) weighted average risk-free interest rate of 0.33%, (4) expected life of 0.26 years, and (5) estimated fair value of the Company’s common stock of $0.139 per share.
Bartonek
On April 5, 2016, the Company issued a $15,000 convertible promissory note to Joseph Bartonek, Jr. bearing interest at 12% per annum due upon maturity along with principal on August 31, 2016. The convertible promissory note is convertible, at the holders’ option, at $0.10 per share at any time, the due date or the time of a $5 million equity event, as defined.
In connection with the issuance of the convertible promissory note, the Company issued detachable warrants granting the holder the right to acquire 30,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.50 per share and expire 2 years from the date of issuance. The Company determined that the conversion feature in the note required classification as an embedded derivative. The accounting treatment requires that the Company record at fair value at inception as a liability. The determined fair value exceeded the net proceeds received, therefore no value was assigned to the issued detachable warrants as described in ASC 470-20.
During the year ended March 31, 2017 $15,000 of the principal was converted into 300,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to reduce the liability to zero.
6. DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES
As described in Note 5, the Company issued convertible notes that contain conversion features and reset provision. The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record fair value of the derivatives as of the inception date and to fair value as of each subsequent reporting date.

Sale of Instilend Technologies, Inc.
On May 2, 2013, the Company, its wholly-owned subsidiary, Instilend Technologies Inc. ("Instilend") and Fortified Management Group, LLC ("Fortified") entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the "APA"), pursuant to which Instilend sold all of its assets, including its proprietary Matador, Locate Stock and LendEQS platforms, to Fortified in consideration of $3,000,000 (the "Purchase Price") consisting of 250,000 shares of common stock of the Company which were returned to the Company for cancellation in March of 2013, $2,500 per month commencing on the 90th day after the Closing Date which will be increased to $5,000 per month as of the 270th day following the Closing Date, a Secured Promissory Note in the principal amount of $1,250,000 (the "APA Note"), the assumption by Fortified from the Company of 5% Convertible Promissory Notes (the "Seller Notes") originally issued by the Company to Todd Tabacco, Derek Tabacco and Richard L'Insalata in the aggregate amount of $500,000 and additional monthly royalties of 5% after the payment of the $1,250,000 Secured Promissory Note up to $4,000,000 as set forth in Schedule 3 of the APA.
In addition, $150,000 of the Purchase Price (the "Escrow Funds") was used towards the payment by the Company of certain tax liabilities owed by Instilend. The Escrow Funds will be held in escrow until the Company has entered into settlement agreements with the relevant tax authorities, at which time the Company may authorize the Escrow Funds to be released for payment to the relevant tax authorities.
In the event of a failure by the Company to make any payments in accordance with the terms of any such settlement agreements, the Company will issue shares of its common stock to Fortified equal to three times the unpaid amount of the remaining unpaid tax liabilities.
As a result of the sale of the operating assets relating to the stock loan business, management of the Company, as of the Closing Date, elected to impair the remaining assets in the business including the goodwill, customer list and covenants to not compete. The impaired assets were initially recorded as a result of the acquisition of Instilend.

10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Litigation

Although occasional adverse decisions or settlements may occur, the Company believes that the final disposition of such matters should not have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
The Company has received notice from the New York State Workers Compensation Board that a judgment was filed against them in the amount of $13,000, along with total penalties of $29,034, however, effective July 5, 2017 the Company has confirmed a payment in the amount $4,350 will settle the amounts in full.

Accordingly, the Company has recorded $8,970 as an accrued liability and a selling, general and administrative expense as of, and during, the year ended March 31, 2017.
11. INCOME TAXES
Deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.
Net deferred tax assets consist of the following components as of March 31, 2017 and 2016:
2017 | 2016 | |||||||

MARCH 31, 2017 AND 2016
At March 31, 2017, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $42,726,000 that may be offset against future taxable income for the year 2018 through 2037. No tax benefit from continuing or discontinued operations have been reported in the March 31, 2017 consolidated financial statements since the potential tax benefit is offset by a valuation allowance of the same amount.
Due to change in ownership provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, net operation loss carryforwards for Federal income tax reporting purposes are subject to annual limitations. Should a change in ownership occur, net operating loss carryforwards may be limited as to use in future years.
The Company complies with the provisions of FASB ASC 740 in accounting for its uncertain tax positions. ASC 740 addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under ASC 740, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely that not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The Company has determined that the Company has no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition under ASC 740.
The Company recognizes interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses. The Company had no accruals for interest and tax penalties at March 31, 2016 and 2015.
The Company does not expect the amount of unrecognized tax benefits to materially change within the next twelve months.
The Company is required to file income tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction, in New York State, New Jersey, and in Utah. The Company is no longer subject to income tax examinations by tax authorities for tax years ending before March 31, 2013.
12. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
ASC 825-10 defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and risk of nonperformance. ASC 825-10 establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 825-10 establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is disclosed and is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
Upon adoption of ASC 825-10, there was no cumulative effect adjustment to beginning retained earnings and no impact on the consolidated financial statements.
The carrying value of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, short-term borrowings (including convertible notes payable), and other current assets and liabilities approximate fair value because of their short-term maturity.

13. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Merger with Wealth Generators, LLC
Effective April 1, 2017, the Company entered into a Contribution Agreement with Wealth Generators, LLC (“Wealth Generators”), pursuant to which the Wealth Generators members agreed to contribute 100% of the outstanding securities of the Company in exchange for an aggregate of 1,358,670,942 shares of the Company’s common stock. Following the contribution, the Wealth Generators members control the majority of the Company’s outstanding common stock and Wealth Generators became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
The transaction was accounted for as a reverse acquisition using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with the FASB (ASC 805). Wealth Generators is the acquirer solely for financial accounting purposes. For purposes of the pro forma financial information contained below, Wealth Generators purchase price to acquire the Company was estimated based on an estimated value per share of the Company’s common stock of $0.0044. The allocation of the purchase price is preliminary and is dependent upon certain procedures that have not been finalized. The actual amounts recorded as of the completion of the transaction may differ materially from the information presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements constitute forward-looking information and are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated.
The historical financial information has been derived from the audited financial statements of Wealth Generators as filed on June 30, 2017 in the Company’s Form 8K-A and the audited financial statements of INVU. The financial information has been adjusted to give pro forma effect to events that are directly attributable to the reverse merger, are factually supportable and, in the case of the pro forma statements of operations, have a recurring impact. The pro forma adjustments are preliminary, is for informational purposes only, and the unaudited pro forma combined financial information is not necessarily indicative of the financial position or results of operations that may have actually occurred had the reverse merger taken place on the dates noted, or the future financial position or operating results of the combined company. The pro forma adjustments are based upon available information and assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable.

The closing of the Contribution Agreement was effective April 1, 2017, and Wealth Generators became our wholly owned subsidiary and the former members of Wealth Generators became our stockholders and control the majority of our outstanding common stock (see Note 5).
On June 6, 2017, we entered into an Acquisition Agreement with Market Trend Strategies, LLC, a company whose members are also former members of our management. Under the Acquisition Agreement, we spun-off our operations that existed prior to the merger with Wealth Generators and sold the intangible assets used in those pre-merger operations in exchange for Market Trend Strategies’ assumption of $419,139 in pre-merger liabilities.

Revenue Recognition
For revenue from product salesWe have entered into indemnification agreements with our directors and services,executive officers, in addition to the indemnification provided for in the Bylaws, and we recognize revenueintend to enter into indemnification agreements with any new directors and executive officers in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), subtopic 605-10, Revenue Recognition (“ASC 605-10”), which requires that four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered; (3) the selling price is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured.
The majority of our revenue is generated by subscription sales and payment is received at the time of purchase. We recognize revenue for subscription sales over the subscription period and deferred revenue is recorded for the portion of the subscription period subsequent to each reporting date. Additionally, we offer a 10-day trial period to subscription customers, during which a full refund can be requested if a customer does not like the product. Revenues are deferred during the trial period as collectability cannot be reasonably assured until that time has passed. Revenues are presented net of refunds, sales incentives, credits, and known and estimated credit card chargebacks.
Long-Lived Assets – License Agreementfuture.
The Company accounts for its long-term license agreement in accordance with ASC subtopic 350-30 General Intangibles Other Than Goodwillhas purchased [and intends to maintain] insurance on behalf of each and ASC subtopic 360-10-05, Accounting for the Impairmentany person who is or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. ASC subtopic 350-30 requires assets to be measured based on the fair valuewas a director or officer of the consideration givenCompany against any loss arising from any claim asserted against him or her and incurred by him or her in any such capacity, subject to certain exclusions.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the fair valueSecurities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the assets (or net assets) acquired, whicheverregistrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is more clearly evidentagainst public policy as expressed in the Act and thus, more reliably measurable. Further, ASC subtopic 350-30 requires an intangible assetis, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be amortized over its useful life.governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
ASC subtopic 360-10-05 requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the historical cost carrying value of an asset may no longer be appropriate. The Company assesses recoverability of the carrying value of an asset by estimating the future net cash flows expected to result from the asset, including eventual disposition. If the future net cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset, an impairment loss is recorded equal to the difference between the asset’s carrying value and fair value or disposable value.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, based on our principal or, in the absence of a principal, most advantageous market for the specific asset or liability.

GAAP provides for a three-level hierarchyItem 15. Recent Sales of inputsUnregistered Securities.
The following information relates to valuation techniques used to measure fair value, defined as follows:all securities issued or sold by us within the past three years and not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, (the “Securities Act”).
Our financial instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable, and accounts payable. We have determined that the book value of our outstanding financial instruments as of September 30, 2017 (unaudited) and March 31, 2017, approximates the fair value due to their short-term nature.
Net Loss per Share
We follow ASC subtopic 260-10, Earnings Per Share (“ASC 260-10”) specifying the computation, presentation, and disclosure requirements of earnings per share information. Basic loss per share has been calculated based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Convertible debt, stock options, and warrants have been excluded as common stock equivalentsIn October 2019 we received $175,000 in the diluted loss per share because their effect is anti-dilutive on the computation.
Potentially dilutive securities excluded from the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share are as follows:
September 30, 2017 | September 30, 2016 | |||||||
Convertible notes payable | - | 26,677,398 | ||||||

NOTE 3–RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). ASU 2014-09 creates a new topic in the ASC Topic 606 and establishes a new control-based revenue recognition model, changes the basis for deciding when revenue is recognized over time or at a point in time, provides new and more detailed guidance on specific topics, and expands and improves disclosures about revenue. In addition, ASU 2014-09 adds a new subtopic to the Codification, ASC 340-40, Other Assets and Deferred Costs: Contracts with Customers, to provide guidance on costs related to obtaining a contract with a customer and costs incurred in fulfilling a contract with a customer that are not in the scope of another ASC topic. The guidance in ASU 2014-09 is effective for public entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods therein. Management is in the process of assessing the impact of ASU 2014-09 on our financial statements.
NOTE 4–GOING CONCERN AND LIQUIDITY
Our financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a going concern that contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. We have incurred significant recurring losses, which have resulted in an accumulated deficit of $11,095,620, net loss of $5,941,233, and net cash used in operations of $1,589,914 for the six months ended September 30, 2017. Additionally, as of September 30, 2017, we had cash of $1,920 and a working capital deficit of $3,468,378. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Historically we have relied on increasing revenues and new debt financing to pay for operational expenses and debt as it came due. During the six months ended September 30, 2017, we raised $368,253 in cash proceeds from related parties, $1,675,000 in cash proceeds from new lending arrangements, and $492,000 from the sale of common stock. Additionally, during the six months ended September 30, 2017, we have exchanged $2,322,606 worth of debt into7,000,000 shares of our common stock. Going forward we plan to reduce obligations with cash flow provided by operationsstock and pursue additional debt and equity financing, however, we cannot assure that funds will be available on terms acceptable us, or if available, will be sufficient to enable us to fully completeissued 12,400,000 shares of our development activities or sustain operations. Nevertheless, the shortage of working capital adversely affects our ability to develop or participate in activities that promote our business, because a substantial portion of cash flow goes to reduce debt rather than to advance operating activities.common stock for services.
Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements haveIn December 2019 we issued 3,218,592 shares of our common stock for services that has not been preparedpreviously reported in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United Statesany of America, which contemplate our continuation as a going concern and the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities presented in the financial statements do not necessarily purport to represent realizable or settlement values. The financial statements do not include any adjustment that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.SEC filings.
NOTE 5–REVERSE ACQUISITIONIn January and February 2020 we issued 10,000,000 shares of our common stock for services.
Effective April 1, 2017,
In August and September 2019 we issued 13,000,000 shares of our common stock for proceeds of $325,000.
In July 2019, we entered into a Contribution Agreement with Wealth Generators, pursuant to which the Wealth Generators members agreed to contribute 100%Convertible Promissory Note and received proceeds of $140,000 after incurring loan fees of $3,000. The note incurs interest at 12% per annum and has a maturity date of October 8, 2020. The Convertible Promissory Note has a variable conversion rate that is 65% of the outstanding securities of Wealth Generators in exchange for an aggregate of 1,358,670,942 shares of our common stock. Following the closing, Wealth Generators became our wholly owned subsidiary and the Wealth Generators members became our stockholders and control the majority of our outstanding common stock.
The transaction was accounted for as a reverse acquisition using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with the FASB (ASC 805). Wealth Generators is the acquirer solely for financial accounting purposes. The following table summarizes the purchase accounting for the fair valueaverage of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed attwo lowest trading prices during the date of the reverse acquisition:

As a result of this guarantee, we had recorded $626,388 in accounts payable and accrued liabilities on our balance sheet as of March 31, 2018. During the year ended March 31, 2019, the 18-month anniversary passed without the common stock falling below the set threshold, therefore, we were released from the guarantee, and we increased additional paid-in capital by $525,000 to remove the previously recorded offering costs.

Item 17. UndertakingsUndertakings.
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) | To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement: |
(i) | to include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933; |
(ii) | to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and |
101 |
(iii) | to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement. |
(2) | That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment |
(3) | To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering. |
(4) | That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, |
(5) | That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities: |
The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser: |
The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
(i) | Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424; |
(ii) | Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant; |
(iii) | The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and |
(iv) | Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser. |
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
