Our Filing Status as a “Smaller Reporting Company”
We believeare a “smaller reporting company,” meaning that we are not an investment company, an asset-backed issuer, or a majority-owned subsidiary of a parent company that is not a smaller reporting company and have a public float of less than $75 million and annual revenues of less than $50 million during the biggest changemost recently completed fiscal year. As a “smaller reporting company,” the disclosure we will be required to provide in the industry is that pharmaceutical and other healthcare agenciesour SEC filings are tryingless than it would be if we were not considered a “smaller reporting company.” Specifically, “smaller reporting companies” are able to remove themselvesprovide simplified executive compensation disclosures in their filings; are exempt from the planning and execution process, in order to comply with new guidelinesprovisions of Section 404(b) of the Pharmaceutical ResearchSarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requiring that independent registered public accounting firms provide an attestation report on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting; are not required to conduct say-on-pay and Manufacturers of America (“PhRMA”), which were enactedfrequency votes until annual meetings occurring on or after January 21, 2013; and have certain other decreased disclosure obligations in 2005. We believe that this provides RX Scripted with a unique opportunity to “fill the gap” between the pharmaceutical/educational companies and their need to continueSEC filings, including, among other things, being permitted to provide educationaltwo years of audited financial statements in annual reports rather than three years. Decreased disclosures in our SEC filings due to our status as a “smaller reporting company” may make it harder for investors to analyze our results of operations and promotional events.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Prospectus includes “forward-looking” statements regarding our business development plans, regulatory reviews, timing, strategies, expectations, anticipated expenses levels, projected profits, business prospects and positioning with respect to market, demographic and pricing trends, business outlook, and various other matters (including contingent liabilities and obligations and changes in accounting policies, standards and interpretations) and express our current intentions, beliefs, expectations, strategies or predictions, as well as historical information. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause our actual results, performance or achievements, or industry results, to be materially different from anticipated results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. When used in this Prospectus, statements that are not statements of current or historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Without limiting the foregoing, the words “plan,” “intend,” “may,” “will,” “expect,” “believe,” “could,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” or “continue” or similar expressions or other variations or comparable terminology are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. Although we believe that the assumptions on which the forward-looking statements contained herein are based are reasonable, any of those assumptions could prove to be inaccurate given the inherent uncertainties as to the occurrence or nonoccurrence of future events. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict. Our future operating results are dependent upon many factors, and our further development is highly dependent on market acceptance, which is outside its control. Forward-looking statements may not be realized due to a variety of factors, including, without limitation, (1) Our operations and financial performance could be negatively impacted if we fail to develop our business and expand as we anticipate in connection with the launch of our new expanded auto parts website; (2) We will need substantial additional funding to continue our operations, which could result in dilution to our stockholders (3) We may be unable to raise capital when needed, if at all, which could cause us to have insufficient funds to pursue our operations, or to delay, reduce or eliminate our development of new programs or commercialization efforts; (4) Triton’s sales of our Common Stock may cause material dilution to our existing stockholders; (5) An investment in our shares is highly speculative; (6) Our stock price may decline because Triton will pay less than the then-prevailing market price of our common stock; (7) We may not have future access to the $1,000,000 full amount provided for in the Common Stock Purchase Agreement with Triton; (8) We have a history of operating losses and if we fail to obtain adequate financing or develop profitable operations, you may lose your entire investment in or shares of our Common Stock; (9) We may adversely be impacted due to the outbreak of the coronavirus, COVID-19, and the subsequent distribution of vaccinations and the impact of variants to COVID-19, that could adversely affect domestic and foreign economies and our financial prospects ; and (10) the other factors discussed in “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Prospectus.
All forward-looking statements attributable to us are expressly qualified in their entirety by these and other factors. We undertake no obligation to update or revise these forward-looking statements, whether to reflect events or circumstances after the date initially filed or published, to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events or otherwise, except to the extent required by federal securities laws.
An investment in our Common Stock involves a high degree of risk. See "Risk Factors."

As of April 30, 2021, we only had cash and cash equivalents of $1,342,321 and approximately $151,000 of short-term debt in default. Therefore there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern as of January 31, 2021 and April 30, 2021.

Our financial results will fluctuate in the future, which makes them difficult to predict.
Our financial results may fluctuate in the future. Additionally, we have a limited operating history with the current scale of our business, which makes it difficult to forecast future results. As a result, you should not rely upon our past financial results as indicators of future performance. You should consider the risks actually occur,and uncertainties frequently encountered by rapidly growing companies in evolving markets. Our financial results in any given quarter can be influenced by numerous factors, many of which we are unable to predict or are outside of our control, including:
| ● | The extent to which COVID-19 outbreak as well as the impact of the variants and the levels of vaccinations will impact business and the economy is highly uncertain and cannot be predicted and may add to the risks described below. |
| ● | Our ability to maintain and grow our user base. |
| ● | Our suppliers may suffer downturns or financial instability. |
| ● | Development and introduction of new products by our competitors. |
| ● | Increases in marketing, sales, service, and other operating expenses that we may incur to grow and expand our operations and to remain competitive. |
| ● | Our ability to maintain gross margins and operating margins; |
| ● | Changes affecting our suppliers and other third-party service providers; |
| ● | Adverse litigation judgments, settlements, or other litigation-related costs; and |
| ● | Changes in business or macroeconomic conditions including regulatory changes. |
Any one or a combination of the above factors may have a negative impact on our results of operations and which could result in our never achieving profitability.
We cannot assure you that we will effectively manage our growth.
We intend to hire additional employees, offer new products from our suppliers, substantially increase our marketing and promotion campaign and launch new websites. The growth and expansion of our business create significant challenges for our management, operational, and financial resources, including managing multiple relationships and interactions with users, distributors, vendors, and other third parties. As we continue to grow and refine our information technology systems, internal management processes, internal controls and procedures and production processes may be inadequate to support our operations. To ensure success, we must continue to improve our operational, financial, and management processes and systems and to effectively expand, train, and manage our employee base. As we continue to grow, and implement more complex organizational and management structures, we may find it increasingly difficult to maintain the benefits of our corporate culture, including our current team’s efficiency and expertise, which could negatively affect our results of operations. Additionally, this expansion increases the complexity of our business and places significant strain on our management, personnel, operations, systems, technical performance, financial resources, and internal financial control and reporting functions. We may be unable to manage growth effectively, which could damage our reputation, limit our growth, and negatively affect our results could beof operations such that we may never achieve profitability.
Our costs may grow more quickly than our revenues, which may negatively affectedaffect our potential profitability.
We expect our expenses to a significant extent.
The loss of one or fundmore of our key personnel, or our failure to attract and retain other operatinghighly qualified personnel in the future, could harm our business.
We depend on the continued services and general and administrative expenses necessary to grow its business. Further, the Company does not have the funds available to hire independent contractors. The Company does have an outstanding Revolving Credit Promissory Note with Kevin McAdams, the husbandperformance of the Company’skey members of our management team, including our Chief Executive Officer/Chief Financial Officer, MaryAnne McAdams (the “Note”) inTimothy Armes, and the amountpresident of $15,000, however, all $15,000 available under the Note had been borrowed as of the date of this Prospectus.our subsidiary, Auto Parts 4Less, Inc., Chris Davenport. If we cannot securecall upon our officers and/or key management personnel for any reason, our operations and development could be harmed. We do not carry key man life insurance. We have not yet developed a succession plan. Furthermore, as we grow, we will be required to hire and attract additional financing,professionals in programming, accounting, legal, finance, marketing, customer services. We may be unable to locate or attract qualified individuals for such positions, which will affect our ability to grow and expand our business.

If we fail to acquire new customers, or fail to do so in a cost-effective manner, we may be unable to increase net revenue per active customer or continue to report profitable results of operations.
Our success depends on our ability to acquire new customers in a cost-effective manner. In order to expand our customer base, we must appeal to and acquire customers who have historically used other means of commerce to purchase the goods we provide and may prefer alternatives to our offerings, such as traditional brick and mortar retailers, the websites of our competitors or our suppliers’ own websites. We have primarily relied upon our organic growth and our advertising through Facebook. We cannot assure you that the net profit from new customers we acquire will ultimately exceed the cost of acquiring those customers. If we fail to deliver a quality shopping experience, or if consumers do not perceive that the products, we offer to be economically advantageous, of high value and quality, we may be unable to acquire new customers. If we are unable to acquire new customers who purchase products in numbers sufficient to grow our business, we be unable to generate the scale necessary to drive beneficial effects with our suppliers, our net revenue may decrease, and our business, financial condition and operating results may be materially adversely affected.
Our success depends in part on our ability to increase our net revenue per active customers; if we fail to increase customer loyalty and repeat purchasing as well as maintain high levels of customer engagement, our growth prospects and operationsrevenue will be materially adversely affected.
Our ability to grow our business also depends on our ability to retain our existing customer base and generate increased revenue and repeat purchases from this customer base and maintain high levels of customer engagement. To do this, we must continue to provide our customers and potential customers with a unified, convenient, efficient, and differentiated shopping experience. If we fail to increase net revenue per active customer, generate repeat purchases or maintain high levels of customer engagement and average order value, our growth prospects, operating results, and financial condition could be impaired by limitationsmaterially adversely affected.
Uncertain acceptance and maintenance of our brand.
We believe that the establishment and maintenance of our brand that the public identifies with us is critical to attracting and expanding its customer base. No assurance can be given that our branding efforts will be successful. Promotion of brand awareness among users will depend, among other things, on our accesssuccess in our organic growth, our marketing efforts, and the usability of our websites, none of which can be assured.
If we do not successfully optimize and operate our fulfillment network our business could be harmed.
If we do not adequately predict customer demand or otherwise optimize and operate our fulfillment network successfully, it could result in excess or insufficient fulfillment, or result in increased costs, impairment charges, or both, and harm our business in other ways. As we continue to capital.add fulfillment capability or add new businesses with different requirements, our fulfillment networks become increasingly complex and operating them becomes more challenging. There can be no assurance that capital from outside sourceswe will be available, or if such financing is available, that it will beable to operate our networks effectively. In addition, a failure to optimize inventory in our fulfillment network may increase our shipping cost. Orders from several of our websites are fulfilled primarily from a single location, and we have only a limited ability to reroute orders to third parties for drop-shipping.
We rely on terms that management deems sufficiently favorable.a limited number of shipping companies to deliver inventory to us and completed orders to our customers. If we are unable to obtain additional financing uponnegotiate acceptable terms that management deems sufficiently favorable,with these companies or at all,they experience performance problems or other difficulties, it would have a material adversecould negatively impact uponour operating results and customer experience. In addition, our ability to conductreceive inbound inventory efficiently and ship completed orders to customers also may be negatively affected by inclement weather, fire, flood, power loss, earthquakes, labor disputes, acts of war or terrorism, acts of God, and similar factors.
Third parties either drop-ship or otherwise fulfill an increasing portion of our customers’ orders, and we are increasingly reliant on the reliability, quality, and future procurement of their services. Under some of our commercial agreements, we maintain the inventory of other companies, thereby increasing the complexity of tracking inventory and operating our fulfillment network. Our failure to properly handle such inventory or the inability of these other companies to accurately forecast product demand would result in unexpected costs and other harm to our business operations and pursuereputation.

We may face inventory risks.
We are exposed to inventory risks that may adversely affect our expansion strategy. Asoperating results as a result of seasonality, new product launches by manufacturers, rapid changes in product cycles and pricing, defective merchandise, changes in consumer demand and consumer spending patterns, changes in consumer tastes with respect to our products, and other factors. We endeavor to accurately predict these trends and avoid overstocking or understocking products we sell. Demand for products, however, can change significantly between the time inventory is ordered and the date of this Prospectus,sale. In addition, when we have only limited operationsbegin selling a new product, it may be difficult to establish vendor relationships, determine appropriate product selection, and didaccurately forecast demand. The acquisition of certain types of inventory may require significant lead-time and prepayment and may not generate any revenues during the year ended January 31, 2008be returnable. We plan to carry a broad selection of inventory and we may be unable to sell products in sufficient quantities or during the three months ended April 30, 2008. In the event we do not raise additional capital from conventional sources, it is likely that we may need to scale back or curtail implementing our business plan, which could cause any securities in the Company to be worthless.
Risks associated with the suppliers from whom our products are sourced could materially adversely affect our financial performance as well as our reputation and brand.
We depend on our ability to provide our customers with a wide range of products from qualified suppliers in a timely and efficient manner. Political and economic instability, the strategyfinancial stability of suppliers, suppliers’ ability to meet our standards, labor problems experienced by suppliers, the availability of raw materials, merchandise quality issues, currency exchange rates, transport availability and cost, transport security, inflation, and other factors relating to the suppliers are beyond our control.
Our agreements with most of our suppliers do not provide for future growth, the Company does not currently generate any revenues and has only limited operations. Welong-term availability of merchandise or the continuation of particular pricing practices, nor do they usually restrict such suppliers from selling products to other buyers.
There can makebe no assurancesassurance that weour current suppliers will be ablecontinue to generate any revenues in the future, that we will have sufficient fundingseek to support our operations and pay our expenses and/sell us products on current terms or that we will be able to gain clientsestablish new or otherwise extend current supply relationships to ensure product acquisitions in the futurea timely and efficient manner and on acceptable commercial terms. Our ability to builddevelop and maintain relationships with reputable suppliers and offer high quality merchandise to our business operations. In the evencustomers is critical to our success. If we are unable to generate revenues and/develop and maintain relationships with suppliers that would allow us to offer a sufficient amount and variety of quality merchandise on acceptable commercial terms, our ability to satisfy our customers’ needs, and therefore our long-term growth prospects, would be materially adversely affected.
We depend on our suppliers to perform certain services regarding the products that we offer.
As part of offering our suppliers’ products for sale on our sites, they generally agree to conduct a number of traditional retail operations regarding their products, including maintaining inventory and preparing merchandise for shipment to our customers. We may be unable to ensure that these suppliers will continue to perform these services to our customers’ satisfaction in a manner that provides our customer with a unified brand experience or on commercially reasonable terms. If our customers become dissatisfied with the products and shipments provided by our suppliers, our business, reputation, and brands could suffer.
Our business may be adversely affected if we are unable to provide our customers a cost-effective shopping platform that is able to respond and adapt to rapid changes in technology.
The number of people who access the Internet through devices other than personal computers, including mobile phones, smartphones, handheld computers such as notebooks and tablets, video game consoles, and television set-top devices, has increased dramatically in the past few years. The smaller screen size, functionality, and memory associated with some alternative devices may make the use of our sites and purchasing our products more difficult. The versions of our sites developed for these devices may not be compelling to consumers. In addition, it is time consuming and costly to keep pace with rapidly changing and continuously evolving technology.
As new mobile devices and platforms are released, it is difficult to predict the problems we may encounter in developing applications for alternative devices and platforms, and we may need to devote significant resources to the creation, support, and maintenance of such applications. If we are unable to attract consumers to our websites through these devices or are slow to develop a version of our websites that is more compatible with alternative devices or a mobile application, we may fail to capture a significant share of consumers which could adversely affect our business.
Further, we continually upgrade existing technologies and business applications, and we may be required to implement new technologies or business applications in the future. The implementation of upgrades and changes requires significant investments. Our results of operations may be affected by the timing, effectiveness and costs associated with the successful implementation of any upgrades or changes to our systems and infrastructure. In the event that it is more difficult for our customers to buy products from us on their mobile devices, or if our customers choose not to buy products from us on their mobile devices or to use mobile products that do not offer access to our websites, our customer growth could be harmed and our business, financial condition and operating results may be materially adversely affected.

Significant merchandise returns could harm our business.
We allow our customers to return products, subject to our return policy. If merchandise returns are significant, our business, prospects, financial condition, and results of operations could be harmed. Many of our products are large and require special handling and delivery. From time to time our products are damaged in transit, which can increase return rates and harm our brand.
We may be subject to product liability claims if people or property are harmed by the products we sell.
Some of the products we sell may expose us to product liability claims relating to personal injury, death, or environmental or property damage, and may require product recalls or other actions. Although we maintain liability insurance, we cannot be certain that our coverage will be forcedadequate for liabilities actually incurred or that insurance will continue to curtail and/be available to us on economically reasonable terms, or abandon our current business plan and any investment in the Company could become worthless.
We are subject to Section 13risks related to online payment methods.
We accept payments using a variety of methods, including credit card, debit card, PayPal, and gift cards. As we offer new payment options to consumers, we may be subject to additional regulations, compliance requirements and fraud. For certain payment methods, including credit and debit cards, we pay interchange and other fees, which may increase over time and raise our operating costs and lower profitability. We are also subject to payment card association operating rules and certification requirements, including the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard and rules governing electronic funds transfers, which could change or 15(d)be reinterpreted to make it difficult or impossible for us to comply. As our business changes, we may also be subject to different rules under existing standards, which may require new assessments that involve costs above what we currently pay for compliance. If we fail to comply with the rules or requirements of any provider of a payment method we accept, if the volume of fraud in our transactions limits or terminates our rights to use payment methods we currently accept, or if a data breach occurs relating to our payment systems, we may, among other things, be subject to fines or higher transaction fees and may lose, or face restrictions placed upon, our ability to accept credit card and debit card payments from consumers or facilitate other types of online payments. If any of these events were to occur, our business, financial condition and operating results could be materially adversely affected.
We occasionally receive orders placed with fraudulent credit card data. We may suffer losses as a result of orders placed with fraudulent credit card data even if the associated financial institution approved payment of the Securities Exchange Actorders. Under current credit card practices, we may be liable for fraudulent credit card transactions. If we are unable to detect or control credit card fraud, our liability for these transactions could harm our business, financial condition, and results of 1934, as amended, and have filed all of our required periodic reports for the prior one year period; and a period of at least twelve months has elapsed from the date “Form 10 information” has been filed with the Commission reflecting the Company’s status as a non-“shell company.” Because none of our securities canoperations.
We could be sold pursuant to Rule 144, until at least a year after we cease to be a “shell company”, any securities you purchase in this offeringharmed by data loss or that we issue to consultants, employees, in consideration for services rendered or for any other purpose will have no liquidity until and unless such securities are registered with the Commission, an exemption for sales can be relied upon other than Rule 144 and/or until a year after we cease to be a “shell company” and have complied with the other requirements of Rule 144, as described above. security breaches.
As a result youof our services being web-based and the fact that we process, store, and transmit large amounts of data, including personal information, for our customers, failure to prevent or mitigate data loss or other security breaches could expose us or our customers to a risk of loss or misuse of such information, adversely affect our operating results, result in litigation or potential liability for us, and otherwise harm our business. We use third party technology and systems for a variety of reasons, including, without limitation, encryption and authentication technology, employee email, content delivery to customers, back-office support, and other functions. Although we have developed systems and processes that are designed to protect customer information and prevent data loss and other security breaches, including systems and processes designed to reduce the impact of a security breach, such measures cannot provide absolute security.
Legislation or other changes in U.S. tax law could adversely affect our business and financial condition.
The rules dealing with U.S. federal, state and local income taxation are constantly under review by persons involved in the legislative process and by the Internal Revenue Service and the U.S. Treasury Department. Changes to tax laws (which changes may neverhave retroactive application) could adversely affect us or holders of our common stock. In recent years, many changes have been made to applicable tax laws and changes are likely to continue to occur in the future.
For example, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, or the TCJA, was enacted in 2017 and made significant changes to corporate taxation, including the reduction of the corporate tax rate from a top marginal rate of 35% to a flat rate of 21%, the limitation of the tax deduction for net interest expense to 30% of adjusted taxable income (except for certain small businesses), the limitation of the deduction for net operating losses from taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017 to 80% of current year taxable income and the elimination of net operating loss carrybacks generated in taxable years ending after December 31, 2017 (though any such net operating losses may be carried forward indefinitely) and the modification or repeal of many business deductions and credits. In addition, on March 27, 2020, the “Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act” or the CARES Act, which included certain
- 9 -
changes in tax law intended to stimulate the U.S. economy in light of the COVID-19 public health emergency, including temporary beneficial changes to the treatment of net operating losses, interest deductibility limitations and payroll tax matters. On April 21, 2020, the Paycheck Protection Program and Health Care Enhancement Act was enacted that increased funding to the Paycheck Protection Program and also provide more funding for hospitals and testing for COVID-19. In addition, new legislation enacted by the current administration, called the “American Rescue Plan”, included economic stimulus provisions, State and local recovery funds, capital project funds, and other financial incentives. All these pieces of legislation may have an impact on our business, financial condition, and results of operations, in their implementation and as well as when they expire, although it is too soon to quantify the effect.
It cannot be predicted whether, when, in what form or with what effective dates new tax or stimulus laws may be enacted, or regulations and rulings may be enacted, promulgated or issued under existing or new tax laws, which could result in an increase in our or our shareholders’ tax liability or require changes in the manner in which we operate in order to minimize or mitigate any adverse effects of changes in tax law or in the interpretation thereof.
We face risks related to system interruption and lack of redundancy.
We may experience occasional system interruptions and delays that make our websites and services unavailable or slow to respond and prevent us from efficiently fulfilling orders which may reduce our net sales and the attractiveness of our products. If we are unable to continually add software and hardware, effectively upgrade our systems and network infrastructure, and take other steps to improve the efficiency of our systems, it could cause system interruptions or delays and adversely affect our operating results.
Our computer and communications systems and operations could be damaged or interrupted by fire, flood, power loss, telecommunications failure, earthquakes, acts of war or terrorism, acts of God, computer viruses, physical or electronic break-ins, and similar events or disruptions. Any of these events could cause system interruption, delays, and loss of critical data, and could prevent us from accepting and fulfilling customer orders which could make our products less attractive and subject us to liability. Our systems are not fully redundant, and our disaster recovery planning may not be sufficient. In addition, we may have inadequate insurance coverage to compensate for any related losses. Any of these events could damage our reputation and be expensive to remedy.
If demand for our products slows, then our business may be materially adversely affected.
Demand for the products we sell may be affected by a number of factors we cannot control, including:
| ● | Number of older vehicles in service since vehicles seven years old or older are generally no longer under the original vehicle manufacturers’ warranties and tend to need more maintenance and repair than newer vehicles. |
| ● | Rising energy prices. Increases in energy prices may cause our customers to defer purchases of certain of our products as they use a higher percentage of their income to pay for gasoline and other energy costs and may drive their vehicles less, resulting in less wear and tear and lower demand for repairs and maintenance. |
| ● | Periods of declining economic conditions, consumers may reduce their discretionary spending by deferring vehicle maintenance or repair or affect our customers’ ability to obtain credit. |
| ● | Milder weather conditions may lower the failure rates of automotive parts, while extended periods of rain and winter precipitation may cause our customers to defer maintenance and repair on their vehicles. Extremely hot or cold conditions may enhance demand for our products due to increased failure rates of our customers’ automotive parts. |
| ● | Advances in automotive technology, such as electric vehicles, and parts design can result in cars needing maintenance less frequently and parts lasting longer. |
| ● | Number of miles vehicles are driven annually (higher vehicle mileage increases the need for maintenance and repair and mileage levels may be affected by gas prices, ride sharing and other factors). |
| ● | Quality of the vehicles manufactured by the original vehicle manufacturers and the length of the warranties or maintenance offered on new vehicles. |
| ● | Restrictions on access to telematics and diagnostic tools and repair information imposed by the original vehicle manufacturers or by governmental regulation (these restrictions may cause vehicle owners to rely on dealers to perform maintenance and repairs). |
These factors could result in a decline in the demand for our products, which could adversely affect our business and overall financial condition.

If we are unable to compete successfully against other businesses that sell the products that we sell, we could lose customers and our sales and profits may decline.
The sale of automotive parts, accessories and maintenance items is highly competitive, and sales volumes are dependent on many factors, including name recognition, product availability, customer service, store location and price. Our competitors include national, regional, and local auto parts chains, independently owned parts stores, online automotive parts stores or marketplaces, wholesale distributors, auto dealers and other retailers that sell aftermarket vehicle parts and supplies, chemicals, accessories, tools, and maintenance parts. Our competitors may gain competitive advantages, such as greater financial and marketing resources allowing them to sell automotive products at lower prices, larger stores with more merchandise, longer operating histories, more frequent customer visits and more effective advertising. Online and multi-channel retailers often focus on delivery services, offering customers faster, guaranteed delivery times and low-price or free shipping. Online businesses have lower operating costs than we do. Many of our competitors are able to sellcompete more effectively in the shares you purchasecommercial market on the basis of customer service, merchandise quality, selection and availability, price, product warranty, distribution locations and the strength of their brand name, trademarks and service marks, some automotive aftermarket participants have been in this offering,business for substantially longer periods of time than we have, and itas a result have developed long-term customer relationships and have large available inventories. If we are unable to profitably develop new commercial customers, our sales growth may be harder for us to fundlimited.
Consolidation among our operationscompetitors may negatively impact our business.
Historically some of our competitors have merged. Consolidation among our competitors could enhance their market share and pay our consultants with our securities instead of cash. Furthermore, it will be harder or us to raise funding through the sale of debt or equity securities unless we agree to register such securitiesfinancial position, provide them with the Commission, whichability to achieve better purchasing terms and provide more competitive prices to customers for whom we compete, and allow them to utilize merger synergies and cost savings to increase advertising and marketing budgets to more effectively compete for customers. Consolidation by our competitors could also increase their access to local market parts assortment. These consolidated competitors could take sales volume away from us in certain markets, could achieve greater market penetration, could cause us to expend additional resources in the future. Our status aschange our pricing with a “shell company”negative impact on our margins or could preventcause us from raising additional funds, engaging consultants, using our securities to pay for any acquisitions (although none are currently planned),spend more money to maintain customers or seek new customers, all of which could cause the value ofnegatively impact our securities, if any,business.
Our failure to decline in value or become worthless. Furthermore, as we may not ever cease to be a “shell company,” investors who purchase shares ofprotect our securities in this offering may be forced to hold such securities indefinitely.
The value in our brand name and its continued effectiveness in driving our sales growth are dependent to a significant degree on our ability to maintain our reputation for safety, high product quality, friendliness, service, trustworthy advice, integrity, and business ethics. Any negative publicity about these areas could damage our reputation and may result in reduced demand for our merchandise. The increasing use of technology also poses a risk as customers are able to quickly compare products and prices and use social media to provide feedback in a manner that is rapidly and broadly dispersed. Our reputation could be impacted if customers have a bad experience and share it over social media.
Failure to comply with ethical, social, product, labor, environmental and anti-corruption standards could also jeopardize our reputation and potentially lead to various adverse actions by consumer or environmental groups, employees, or regulatory bodies.
Failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations, to maintain an effective system of internal controls or to provide accurate and timely financial statement information could also hurt our reputation. If we fail to comply with existing or future laws or regulations, we may be subject to governmental or judicial fines or sanctions, while incurring substantial legal fees and costs. In addition, our capital and operating expenses could increase due to implementation of and compliance with existing and future laws and regulations or remediation measures that may be required if we are found to be noncompliant with any existing or future laws or regulations. The inability to pass through any increased expenses through higher prices would have an adverse effect on our results of operations.
Damage to our reputation or loss of consumer confidence for any of these or other reasons could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition, as well as require additional resources to rebuild our reputation.
Our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows may be affected by litigation.
We are involved in lawsuits, regulatory investigations, governmental and other legal procedures, arising out of the ordinary course of business. Legal action may be material and may adversely affect our business, results of operations, (if any) and financial condition, and cash flows.
- 11 -
We rely heavily on our information technology systems for our key business processes. Any failure or interruption in these systems could have a material adverse impact on our business.
We rely extensively on our information technology systems, some of which are managed or provided by third-party service providers, to manage inventory, communicate with customers, process transactions, and summarize results. Our systems and the Company. In addition,third-party systems we rely on are subject to damage or interruption from power outages, telecommunications failures, computer viruses, security breaches, malicious cyber-attacks, catastrophic events, and design or usage errors by contractors or third-party service providers. Although we and our third-party service providers work diligently to maintain our respective systems, we may not be successful in doing so.
We depend on digital technologies, including information systems, infrastructure and cloud applications and services, including those of third parties with which we may deal. Sophisticated and deliberate attacks on, or security breaches in, our systems or infrastructure, or the losssystems or infrastructure of Mrs. McAdams may forcethird parties or the Companycloud, could lead to seek a replacement who may have less experience, fewer contacts,corruption or less understanding of the business. Further, we can make no assurances that we will be able to find a suitable replacement for Mrs. McAdams, which could force the Company to curtail its operations and/or cause any investment in the Company to become worthless. The Company does not have an employment agreement with Mrs. McAdams nor any key man insurance on Mrs. McAdams.
If our systems are damaged or fail to function properly, we may incur substantial costs to repair or replace them, and may experience loss of critical data and interruptions or delays in control. Any investors whoour ability to manage inventories or process transactions, which could result in lost sales, inability to process purchase shares will be minority shareholders and as such will have little to no sayorders and/or a potential loss of customer loyalty, which could adversely affect our results of operations.
Our business is in the directionprocess of the Companydeveloping and the election of Directors. Additionally, it will be difficult if not impossible for investors to remove Mrs. McAdams as a Director of the Company, which will mean she will remain in control of who serves as officers of the Companyimplementing various information systems, as well as whethermodifying existing systems. These technological changes will require significant investment of human and financial resources, and our business may experience significant delays, costs increases and other obstacles with these projects. Although we have invested significant resources during our planning, project management and training, implementation issues may arise which may disrupt our operations and negatively impact our business operations, financial condition, and cash flows.
Government regulation of the internet and e-commerce is evolving, and unfavorable changes or failure by us to comply with these regulations could substantially harm our business and results of operations.
We are subject to general business regulations and laws as well as regulations and laws specifically governing the internet and e-commerce. Existing and future regulations and laws could impede the growth of the Internet, e-commerce, or mobile commerce. These regulations and laws may involve taxes, tariffs, privacy and data security, anti-spam, content protection, electronic contracts and communications, consumer protection, Internet neutrality and gift cards. It is not clear how existing laws governing issues such as property ownership, sales and other taxes and consumer privacy apply to the Internet as the vast majority of these laws were adopted prior to the advent of the Internet and do not contemplate or address the unique issues raised by the Internet or e-commerce. It is possible that general business regulations and laws, or those specifically governing the Internet or e-commerce, may be interpreted, and applied in a manner that is inconsistent from one jurisdiction to another and may conflict with other rules or our practices. We cannot be sure that our practices have complied, comply, or will comply fully with all such laws and regulations. Any failure, or perceived failure, by us to comply with any changes are madeof these laws or regulations could result in damage to our reputation, a loss in business and proceedings or actions against us by governmental entities or others. Any such proceeding or action could hurt our reputation, force us to spend significant amounts in defense of these proceedings, distract our management, increase our costs of doing business, decrease the use of our sites by consumers and suppliers and may result in the Boardimposition of Directors. As a potential investormonetary liability. We may also be contractually liable to indemnify and hold harmless third parties from the costs or consequences of non-compliance with any such laws or regulations. In addition, it is possible that governments of one or more countries may seek to censor content available on our sites or may even attempt to completely block access to our sites. Adverse legal or regulatory developments could substantially harm our business. In particular, in the Company, you should keepevent that we are restricted, in mind that even if you own shares of the Company's Common Stockwhole or in part, from operating in one or more countries, our ability to retain or increase our customer base may be adversely affected, and wish to vote them at annual or special shareholder meetings, your shares will likely have little effect on the outcome of corporate decisions.

Failure to comply with federal, state and international laws and regulations relating to privacy, data protection and consumer protection, or the expansion of current or the enactment of new laws or regulations relating to privacy, data protection and consumer protection, could adversely affect our business and our financial condition.
A variety of federal, state, and international laws and regulations govern the collection, use, retention, sharing, export, and security of consumer data. Laws and regulations relating to privacy, data protection and consumer protection are evolving and subject to potentially differing interpretations. These requirements may be interpreted and applied in a manner that is inconsistent from one jurisdiction to another or may conflict with other rules or our practices. As a result, our practices may not have complied or may not comply in the future with all such laws, regulations, requirements, and obligations. Any failure, or perceived failure, by us to comply with our posted privacy policies or with any federal, state or international privacy or consumer protection related laws, regulations, industry self-regulatory principles, industry standards or codes of conduct, regulatory guidance, orders to which we may be subject or other legal obligations relating to privacy or consumer protection could adversely affect our reputation, brand and business, and may result in claims, proceedings or actions against us by governmental entities or others or other liabilities or require us to change our operations and/or cease using certain data sets. Any such claim, proceeding or action could hurt our reputation, brand and business, force us to incur significant expenses in defense of such proceedings, distract our management, increase our costs of doing business, result in a loss of customers and suppliers and may result in the imposition of monetary penalties. We may also be contractually required to indemnify and hold harmless third parties from the costs or consequences of non-compliance with any laws, regulations or other legal obligations relating to privacy or consumer protection or any inadvertent or unauthorized use or disclosure of data that we store or handle as part of operating our business.
Federal, state, and international governmental authorities continue to evaluate the privacy implications inherent in the use of third-party “cookies” and other methods of online tracking for behavioral advertising and other purposes. U.S. and foreign governments have enacted, have considered or are considering legislation or regulations that could significantly restrict the ability of companies and individuals to engage in these activities, such as by regulating the level of consumer notice and consent required before a company can employ cookies or other electronic tracking tools or the use of data gathered with such tools. Additionally, some providers of consumer devices and web browsers have implemented, or announced plans to implement, means to make it easier for Internet users to prevent the placement of cookies or to block other tracking technologies, which could if widely adopted result in the use of third-party cookies and other methods of online tracking becoming significantly less effective. The regulation of the use of these cookies and other current online tracking and advertising practices or a loss in our ability to make effective use of services that employ such technologies could increase our costs of operations and limit our ability to acquire new customers on cost-effective terms and consequently, materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.
In addition, various federal, state, and foreign legislative and regulatory bodies, or self-regulatory organizations, may expand current laws or regulations, enact new laws or regulations or issue revised rules or guidance regarding privacy, data protection and consumer protection. Any such changes may force us to incur substantial costs or require us to change our business practices. This could compromise our ability to pursue our growth strategy effectively and may adversely affect our ability to acquire customers or otherwise harm our business, financial condition, and operating results.
A privacy breach could damage our reputation and our relationship with our customers, expose us to litigation risk and adversely affect our business.
As part of our normal course of business, we collect, process, and retain sensitive and confidential customer information. Despite security measures we have in place, our facilities and systems may be vulnerable to security breaches, acts of vandalism, computer viruses, misplaced or lost data, programming and/or human errors, or other similar events. Any security breach involving the misappropriation, loss or other unauthorized disclosure of confidential information could severely damage our reputation and our relationships with our customers, expose us to risks of litigation and liability and adversely affect our business.
Our Articles of Incorporation exculpates our officers and directors from certain liability to us or our stockholders.
Our Articles of Incorporation contain a provision limiting the liability of our officers and directors for their acts or failures to act, except for acts involving intentional misconduct, fraud, or a knowing violation of law. This limitation on liability may reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against our officers and directors and may discourage or deter our stockholders from suing our officers and directors based upon breaches of their duties to us.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers or controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission this indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

Business disruptions could affect our operating results
A significant portion of our development activities and certain other critical business operations are concentrated in a few geographic areas. A major earthquake, fire or other catastrophic event that results in the destruction or disruption of any of our critical facilities could severely affect our ability to conduct normal business operations and, as a result, our future financial results could be materially and adversely affected.
We expect to incur substantial expenses to meet our reporting obligations as a public company.
We estimate that it will cost a minimum of $250,000 annually to maintain the current level of management and financial controls for our filings required as a public reporting company, funds that would otherwise be spent for our business operations. Our public reporting costs may increase over time, which will increase our expenses and may decrease our potential profitability.
Because the President of our wholly owned subsidiary has a controlling interest in our voting shares, he can exert significant control over our business and affairs.
The President of our wholly owned subsidiary, Auto Parts 4 Less, Inc. Christopher Davenport, beneficially owns a controlling interest of our outstanding voting stock, specifically controlling 85.5% of the 20,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock authorized, each share of which entitles the holder to vote on all shareholder manners in total equal to 66.7% of the total vote As a result, the President of our wholly owned subsidiary will have significant influence and control over all corporate actions requiring stockholder approval, irrespective of how our other stockholders may vote, including the following actions:
| ● | to elect or defeat the election of our directors. |
| ● | to amend or prevent amendment of our certificate of incorporation or by-laws. |
| ● | to effect or prevent a merger, sale of assets or other corporate transaction. |
| ● | to control the outcome of any other matter submitted to our stockholders for a vote. |
This concentration of ownership by itself may have the effect of impeding a merger, consolidation, takeover or other business consolidation, or discouraging a potential acquirer from making a tender offer for our common stock, which in turn could reduce our stock price or prevent our stockholders from realizing a premium over our stock price.
There are potential conflicts of interest between the interests of common shareholders and the ownership interests of the holders of Series B and C preferred stock.
The certificates of designation of our Series B and C preferred stock contain provisions which provide for super voting rights and conversion rights for the holders of those preferred shares. The result of this is that those holders are not affected by events or transactions which dilute common shareholders until such time as they convert their preferred shares to common shares. In the past, we have issued what are commonly referred to as “toxic” convertible securities. The effect of these issuances resulted in substantial dilution over the past few years to common shareholders. These have had no effect on voting rights or conversion rights of the Series B and C preferred stockholders. Accordingly, there are potential and actual conflicts of interests between the interests of the Series B and C preferred shareholders interests and the interests of our common shareholders. In future periods, if we are unable to maintain profitability of our operations, common shareholders could again become subject to these types of dilution events and transactions.
We will need substantial additional funding to continue our operations, which could result in dilution to our stockholders; we may be unable to raise capital when needed, if at all, which could cause us to have insufficient funds to pursue our operations, or to delay, reduce or eliminate our development of new programs or commercialization efforts.
We expect to incur additional costs associated with operating as a public company, as disclosed above, and to require substantial additional funding to continue to pursue our business and our expansion plans. We may also encounter unforeseen expenses, difficulties, complications, delays, and other unknown factors that may increase our capital needs and/or cause us to spend our cash resources faster than we expect. Accordingly, we expect that we will need to obtain substantial additional funding in order to continue our operations.
We have estimated that we will require approximately $4,000,000 to fully carry out our business plan for the next twelve months. At present, absent additional financing, we estimate that we have sufficient cash and anticipated revenue to fully carry out our business plan for three months, after which we may need to scale back our business plan. There is no assurance that actual cash requirements will not exceed our estimates. We will require additional financing to finance working capital and pay for operating expenses and capital requirements until we achieve a positive cash flow.
- 14 -
Our ability to generate positive cash flow will be dependent upon our ability to generate sufficient revenues from our new business plan and raise significant additional financing. If we are unable to obtain such financing, we will not be able to fully develop our business. Specifically, we will need to raise additional funds to:
| ● | support our planned growth and carry out our business plan |
| ● | hire top quality personnel for all areas of our business; and |
| ● | address competing market developments |
To date, we have financed our operations entirely through equity investments by related parties and other investors and the incurrence of debt. We expect to continue to do so in the foreseeable future. Additional funding from those or other sources may not be available when or in the amounts needed, on acceptable terms, or at all. If we raise capital through the sale of equity, or securities convertible into equity, it will result in dilution to our existing stockholders, which could be significant depending on the price at which we may be able to sell our securities. If we raise additional capital through the incurrence of additional indebtedness, we will likely become subject to further covenants restricting our business activities, and holders of debt instruments may have rights and privileges senior to those of our equity investors. In addition, servicing the interest and principal repayment obligations under debt facilities could divert funds that would otherwise be available to support development of new programs and marketing to current and potential new clients. If we are unable to raise capital when needed or on attractive terms, we could be forced to delay, reduce, or eliminate development of new programs or future marketing efforts. Any of these events could significantly harm our business, financial condition, and prospects.
Our sales through eBay have declined
Apart from selling our products through our own website, we also sell our products through third party websites, including Walmart and eBay, which for our last financial quarter ending April 30, 2021 totaled $1,605,683. Our revenues with respect to eBay have decreased by approximately 64% in our second financial quarter ending July 31, 2021 over prior years 2nd quarter, primarily due to eBay dropping us as a preferred seller due to the inability of manufacturers to manufacture and ship to the buyers on a timely basis. There can be no assurances as to the prospective revenues in upcoming quarters and in the event of a continued decline in revenues, our aggregate revenues and financial condition will be negatively affected.
We do not have an independent board of directors which could create a conflict of interests and pose a risk from a corporate governance perspective.
Our Board of Directors consists mostly of current executive officers and consultants, which means that we do not have any outside or independent directors. The lack of independent directors:
| ● | May prevent the Board from being independent from management in its judgments and decisions and its ability to pursue the Board responsibilities without undue influence. |
| ● | May present us from providing a check on management, which can limit management taking unnecessary risks. |
| ● | Create potential for conflicts between management and the diligent independent decision-making process of the Board. |
| ● | Present the risk that our executive officers on the Board may have influence over their personal compensation and benefits levels that may not be commensurate with our financial performance. |
| ● | Deprive us of the benefits of various viewpoints and experience when confronting challenges that we face. |
Because officers serve on our Board of Directors, it will be difficult for the Board to fulfill its traditional role as overseeing management.
Because we do not have a nominating or compensation committee, shareholders will have to rely on the entire board of directors, no members of which are independent, to perform these functions.
We do not have a nominating or compensation committee, or any such committee comprised of independent directors. The board of directors performs these functions. No members of the board of directors are independent directors. Thus, there is a potential conflict in that board members who are also part of management will participate in discussions concerning management compensation and audit issues that may affect management decisions.
- 15 -
We may have difficulty obtaining officer and director coverage or obtaining such coverage on favorable terms or financially be unable to obtain any such coverage, which may make it difficult for our attracting and retaining qualified members of our board of directors, particularly to serve on our audit committee and compensation committee, and qualified executive officers.
We also expect that being a public company and these new rules and regulations will make it more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance, and we may be required to accept reduced coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain coverage or financially be unable to obtain such coverage. These factors could also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified members of our board of directors, particularly to serve on our audit committee and compensation committee, and qualified executive officers.
We are required to comply with certain provisions of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and if we fail to comply in a timely manner, our business could be harmed, and our stock price could decline.
Rules adopted by the SEC pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 require an annual assessment of internal controls over financial reporting, and for certain issuers an attestation of this assessment by the issuer’s independent registered public accounting firm. The standards that must be met for management to assess the internal controls over financial reporting as effective are evolving and complex, and require significant documentation, testing, and possible remediation to meet the detailed standards.
We expect to incur expenses and to devote resources to Section 404 compliance on an ongoing basis. It is difficult for us to predict how long it will take or costly it will be to complete the assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting for each year and to remediate any deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting. As a result, we may not be able to complete the assessment and remediation process on a timely basis. In addition, although attestation requirements by our independent registered public accounting firm are not presently applicable to us, we could become subject to these requirements in the future and we may encounter problems or delays in completing the implementation of any resulting changes to internal controls over financial reporting. Our internal control over financial reporting presently are not effective as defined under Section 404, we cannot predict how the market prices of our shares will be affected; however, we believe that there is a risk that investor confidence and share value may be negatively affected.
These and other new or changed laws, rules, regulations, and standards are, or will be, subject to varying interpretations in many cases due to their lack of specificity. As a result, their application in practice may evolve over time as new guidance is provided by regulatory and governing bodies, which could result in continuing uncertainty regarding compliance matters and higher costs necessitated by ongoing revisions to disclosure and governance practices. Our efforts to comply with evolving laws, regulations and standards are likely to continue to result in increased general and administrative expenses and a diversion of management time and attention from revenue-generating activities to compliance activities. Further, compliance with new and existing laws, rules, regulations, and standards may make it more difficult and expensive for us to maintain director and officer liability insurance, and we may be required to accept reduced coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain coverage. Members of our board of directors and our principal executive officer and principal financial officer could face an increased risk of personal liability in connection with the performance of their duties. As a result, we may have difficulty attracting and retaining qualified directors and executive officers, which could harm our business. We continually evaluate and monitor regulatory developments and cannot estimate the timing or magnitude of additional costs we may incur as a result.
Public disclosure requirements and compliance with changing regulation of corporate governance pose challenges for our management team and result in additional expenses and costs which may reduce the focus of management and the profitability of our company.
Changing laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure, including the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and SEC regulations, have created uncertainty for public companies and significantly increased the costs and risks associated with accessing the U.S. public markets. Our management team will need to devote significant time and financial resources to comply with both existing and evolving standards for public companies, which will lead to increased general and administrative expenses and a diversion of management time and attention from revenue generating activities to compliance activities.

COVID-19 RELATED RISKS
The outbreak of the coronavirus may negatively impact sourcing and manufacturing of the products that we sell as well as consumer spending, which could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China, which has and is continuing to spread throughout China and other parts of the world, including the United States. On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) a “Public Health Emergency of International Concern.” On January 31, 2020, U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Alex M. Azar II declared a public health emergency for the United States to aid the U.S. healthcare community in responding to COVID-19, and on March 11, 2020 the World Health Organization characterized the outbreak as a “pandemic”. The significant outbreak of COVID-19 has resulted in a widespread health crisis that could adversely affect the economies and financial markets worldwide, and could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
The COVID-19 Pandemic poses threats to manufacturing capacity and temporary disruption of operations.
The ability of our industry to ramp up production to meet demand, and how long the pandemic lasts, will have a direct impact on the amount of inventory remaining in distribution channels once the pandemic subsides. This factor, coupled with the possibility of economic recession or runaway inflation, could have a deleterious impact on sales for a significant period that could negatively impact our revenues and our third-party manufacturing efficiencies. Our ability to increase market penetration is predicated upon our continued ability to sub-manufacturer at a sufficient amountcapacity, however, there can be no guarantees that our manufacturing will not be negatively impacted by the pandemic or government responses to it. Additionally, there is a risk that government responses to thwart the spread of the virus, in the form of local or regional quarantine or shelter-in-place orders, could require temporary curtailment of manufacturing operations of our manufacturers, or prevent the export of our products from the country of origin. In such cases, our inability to deliver product would negatively impact sales.
The global impact of COVID-19 and actions taken to reduce its spread continues to rapidly evolve and we will continue to monitor the situation and the effects on our business and operations closely. We do not yet know the full extent of potential impacts on our business or operations or on the global economy as a whole, particularly if the COVID-19 pandemic continues and persists for an extended period of time. The length of time it may take for global vaccine distribution and more normal economic and operating conditions to resume remains uncertain and the economic recovery period could continue for a prolonged period even after the health risks of the pandemic subside. Given the uncertainty, we cannot reasonably estimate the impact on our future results of operations, cash flows or financial condition. To the extent the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic adversely affects our business and results of operations, it may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks and uncertainties described in this “Risk Factors” section of this prospectus.
A terrorism attack, other geopolitical crisis, or widespread outbreak of an illness or other health issue, such as the current Coronavirus outbreak, could negatively impact our operations.
Our operations are susceptible to global events, including acts or threats of war or terrorism, international conflicts, political instability, Pandemics, and natural disasters. The occurrence of any of these events could have an adverse effect on our business results and financial condition.
We are susceptible to a widespread outbreak of an illness or other health issue, such as the Coronavirus (also referred to herein as “Covid 19”) outbreak first reported in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China in December 2019, resulting in millions of confirmed cases identified around the world and in countries in which we conduct business, including the United States. The outbreak has caused governments to implement quarantines, implement significant restrictions on travel, closed schools, and workplaces, and implement work restrictions, all of which can impair normal business operations. Globally air travel has been significantly interrupted as has air freight, ocean freight, and even truck deliveries.
As a result of pandemic outbreaks, businesses have been shut down, supply chains have been interrupted, slowed, or rendered inoperable, and individuals can become ill, quarantined, or otherwise unable to work and/or travel due to health reasons or governmental restrictions. Governmental mandates have required forced shutdowns of our facilities for extended or indefinite periods and, if there is a “fourth” wave of COVID-19, may occur again. In addition, these widespread outbreaks of illness could adversely affect our workforce resulting in serious health issues and absenteeism. Pandemic outbreaks and slow recovery could also interfere with general commercial activity related to our operations. Thissupply chain and customer base, which could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and operational results.
- 17 -
The outbreak of the COVID-19 may adversely affect our supply chain.
The worldwide outbreak of corona virus could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. The coronavirus outbreak may materially impact sourcing and manufacturing of auto parts that are manufactured in other countries and materials for our products that are sourced in other countries by overseas manufacturers and in other affected regions. Travel within and into other overseas countries may be exacerbatedrestricted, which may impact our manufacturers’ ability to obtain necessary materials and inhibit travel of manufacturers and material suppliers. Additionally, there are potential factory closures, inability to obtain materials, disruptions in the supply chain and potential disruption of transportation of goods produced other countries adversely impacted by the fact that MaryAnne McAdams is currently our only officer and Director. If Mrs. McAdams is not able to spend a sufficient amountcoronavirus outbreak, or threat or perceived threat of her available time on our operations, we may never gain any clients, may not ever generate any revenue and/or any investment in the Company could become worthless.
The outbreak of the COVID-19 may adversely affect our customers.
Further, such risks as described above could also adversely affect our customers’ financial condition, resulting in reduced spending for the merchandise we sell. Risks related to an epidemic, pandemic, or other health crisis, such as COVID-19, could also lead to the complete or partial closure of one or more of our facilities or operations of our sourcing partners. The ultimate extent of the impact of any epidemic, pandemic or other health crisis on our business, financial condition and results of operations will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information that may emerge concerning the severity of such epidemic, pandemic or other health crisis and actions taken to contain or prevent their further spread, among others. These and other potential impacts of an epidemic, pandemic, or other health crisis, such as COVID-19, could therefore materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
THE OUTBREAK OF COVID-19 HAS RESULTED IN A WIDESPREAD HEALTH CRISIS THAT COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT THE ECONOMIES AND FINANCIAL MARKETS WORLDWIDE AND COULD EXPONENTIALLY INCREASE THE RISK FACTORS DESCRIBED ABOVE AND BELOW.
RISKS RELATED TO OUR SECURITIES
Shareholders may be diluted significantly through our efforts to obtain financing and satisfy obligations through the issuance of additional shares of our common stock.
We may rely on equity sales of common stock to fund operations. We may conduct further equity and/or convertible debt offerings in the future to finance operations or other projects that it decides to undertake. If common stock is issued in return for additional funds, or upon conversion or exercise of outstanding convertible debentures or warrants, the price per share could be lower than that paid by existing common stockholders. If we issue additional shares of common stock, your percentage interest will be lower. This condition, often referred to as “dilution”, could result in a timely mannerreduction in the per share value of your shares of common stock. Our Board of Directors will attempt to compensateuse non-cash consideration to satisfy obligations. In many instances, we believe that the non-cash consideration will consist of restricted shares of our common stock. Our Board of Directors has authority, without action or vote of the shareholders, to issue all or part of the authorized but unissued shares of common stock. In addition, if a trading market develops for our common stock, we may attempt to raise capital by selling shares of our common stock, possibly at a discount to market. The foregoing actions will result in dilution of the ownership interests of existing shareholders, may further dilute common stock book value, and that dilution may be material. To the extent that the cash flow from operations are insufficient to fund our operations, we will be required to raise additional capital through equity or debt financing. Any additional equity financing may be dilutive to shareholders, and debt financing, if available, may involve significant restrictive covenants.
Sales of our Common Stock being registered herein on behalf of Triton and the subsequent resale of those shares will have a material dilutive effect upon our shares and will likely have a depressive effect on the market price of our Common Stock, which we have addressed in risk factors beginning at page 5.
- 18 -
The trading price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly.
Volatility in the trading price of our common stock may prevent you from being able to sell your shares of our common stock at prices equal to or greater than your purchase price. The trading price of our common stock could fluctuate significantly for various reasons, including:
| ● | our operating and financial performance and prospects; |
| ● | our quarterly or annual earnings or those of other companies in our industry; |
| ● | the public’s reaction to our press releases, COVID-19, other public announcements and filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC; |
| ● | changes in earnings estimates or recommendations by research analysts who track our common stock or the stock of other companies in our industry; |
| ● | strategic actions by us or our competitors; |
| ● | new laws or regulations or new interpretations of existing laws or regulations applicable to our business; |
| ● | changes in accounting standards, policies, guidance, interpretations, or principles; |
| ● | changes in general economic conditions in the U.S. and global economies or financial markets, including such changes resulting from war or incidents of terrorism; and |
| ● | sales of our common stock by us or members of our management team. |
In addition, recently, the stock market has experienced significant price and volume fluctuations. This volatility has had a significant impact on the trading price of securities issued by many companies. The changes frequently occur irrespective of the operating performance of the affected companies. Hence, the trading price of our common stock could fluctuate based upon factors that have little or nothing to do with our business.
We are subject to penny stock regulations and restrictions and you may have difficulty selling shares of our common stock.
Our Common Stock is subject to the provisions of Section 15(g) and Rule 15g-9 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), commonly referred to as the “penny stock rule.” Section 15(g) sets forth certain requirements for transactions in penny stock, and Rule 15g-9(d) incorporates the definition of “penny stock” that is found in Rule 3a51-1 of the Exchange Act. The Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) generally defines a penny stock to be any equity security that has a market price less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. We are subject to the SEC’s penny stock rules.
Since our Common Stock is deemed to be penny stock, trading in the shares of our Common Stock is subject to additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell penny stock to persons other than established customers and accredited investors. “Accredited investors” are persons with assets in excess of $1,000,000 (excluding the value of such person’s primary residence) or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 together with their spouse. For transactions covered by these rules, broker-dealers must make a special suitability determination for the purchase of such security and must have the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to the purchase. Additionally, for any unexpected revenue shortfall,transaction involving a penny stock, except in certain circumstances, the rules require the delivery, prior to the first transaction of a risk disclosure document, prepared by the SEC, relating to the penny stock market. A broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the securities. Finally, monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stocks held in an account and information to the limited market in penny stocks. Consequently, these rules may restrict the ability of broker-dealer to trade and/or maintain a market in our Common Stock and may affect the ability of our stockholders to sell their shares of Common Stock.
There can be no assurance that our shares of Common Stock will qualify for exemption from the “penny stock rule”. In any event, even if our Common Stock were exempt from the “penny stock rule”, we would remain subject to Section 15(b)(6) of the Exchange Act, which could then force usgives the SEC the authority to curtailrestrict any person from participating in a distribution of penny stock if the SEC finds that such a restriction would be in the public interest.
- 19 -
Because we are quoted on the otcmarkets.com instead of an exchange or ceasenational quotation system, our investors may have a more difficult time selling their stock or experience negative volatility on the market price of our stock.
Our common stock is traded on the OTCMarkets.com. The OTCMarkets.com is often highly illiquid. There is a greater chance of volatility for securities that trade on the OTCMarkets.com as compared to a national exchange or quotation system. This volatility may be caused by a variety of factors, including the lack of readily available price quotations, the absence of consistent administrative supervision of bid and ask quotations, lower trading volume, and market conditions. Investors in our common stock may experience high fluctuations in the market price and volume of the trading market for our securities. These fluctuations, when they occur, have a negative effect on the market price for our securities. Accordingly, for the reasons above, our stockholders may not be able to realize a fair price from their shares when they determine to sell them or may have to hold them for a substantial period of time until the market for our common stock improves.
An investment in our shares is highly speculative.
The shares of our common stock are highly speculative in nature, involve a high degree of risk and should be purchased only by persons who can afford to lose the entire amount invested in the common stock. Before purchasing any of the shares of common stock, you should carefully consider the risk factors contained herein relating to our business operations.
The market price of our Common Stock may fluctuate significantly in the future.
We had cumulative operating losses through April 30, 2008expect that the market price of $26,014our Common Stock may fluctuate in response to one or more of the following factors, many of which are beyond our control:
| ● | competitive pricing pressures. |
| ● | our ability to market our services on a cost-effective and timely basis. |
| ● | changing conditions in the market. |
| ● | changes in market valuations of similar companies. |
| ● | stock market price and volume fluctuations generally. |
| ● | regulatory developments. |
| ● | fluctuations in our quarterly or annual operating results. |
| ● | additions or departures of key personnel. |
| ● | future sales of our Common Stock or other securities. |
The price at which you purchase shares of our Common Stock may not be indicative of the price that will prevail in the trading market. Shareholders may experience wide fluctuations in the market price of our securities. These fluctuations may have a negative effect on the market price of our securities and hadmay prevent a workingshareholder from obtaining a market price equal to the purchase price such shareholder paid when the shareholder attempts to sell our securities in the open market. In these situations, the shareholder may be required either to sell our securities at a market price, which is lower than the purchase price the shareholder paid, or to hold our securities for a longer period than planned. An inactive or low trading market may also impair our ability to raise capital deficit at April 30, 2008by selling shares of $23,014. These factors among others indicate that wecapital stock. You may be unable to continuesell your shares of Common Stock at or above your purchase price, which may result in substantial losses to you and which may include the complete loss of your investment. Any of the risks described above could adversely affect our sales and profitability and the price of our Common Stock.
Any market that develops in shares of our common stock will be subject to the penny stock regulations and restrictions pertaining to low priced stocks that will create a lack of liquidity and make trading difficult or impossible.
The trading of our securities will be in the over-the-counter market, which is commonly referred to as the OTC Pink as maintained by FINRA. As a result, an investor may find it difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations as to the price of our securities.
Rule 3a51-1 of the Exchange Act establishes the definition of a “penny stock,” for purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a minimum bid price of less than $5.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to a limited number of exceptions that are not available to us. It is likely that our shares will be penny stocks for the immediately foreseeable future. This classification severely and adversely affects any market liquidity for our common stock.
- 20 -
For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the penny stock rules require that a broker or dealer approve a person’s account for transactions in penny stocks and the broker or dealer receive 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 and objectives of the person and make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and that that 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 prepared by the SEC 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.
Disclosure also must be made about the risks of investing in penny stocks in public offerings and in secondary trading and 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 fraud in penny stock transactions. Additionally, 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.
Because of these regulations, broker-dealers may not wish to engage in the above-referenced necessary paperwork and disclosures and/or may encounter difficulties in their attempt to sell shares of our common stock, which may affect the ability of selling shareholders or other holders to sell their shares in any secondary market and have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in any secondary market. These additional sales practice and disclosure requirements could impede the sale of our securities when our securities become publicly traded. In addition, the liquidity for our securities may decrease, with a corresponding decrease in the price of our securities. Our shares, probably, will be subject to such penny stock rules for the foreseeable future and our shareholders will likely find it difficult to sell their securities.
Effective internal controls are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and to effectively prevent fraud. We maintain a system of internal control over financial reporting, which is defined as a going concern, particularlyprocess designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by our board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in the event that we cannot generate revenues, obtain additional financing and/or attain profitable operations. As such, our independent auditors have expressed doubt as to ouraccordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) sales practice requirements may limit a shareholder’s ability to continue asbuy and sell our Common Stock.
In addition to the “penny stock” rules described above, FINRA has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a going concern incustomer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low-priced securities to their auditednon-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial statements attached hereto. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty and if we cannot continue as a going concern, yourstatus, tax status, investment in us could become devalued or worthless.
Our stock is thinly traded, sale of your holding may take a considerable amount of time.
The shares of our Common Stock are thinly traded on the OTC Pink 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. Market liquidity will depend on the perception of our operating business and any steps that our management might take to bring us to the awareness of investors. There can be no assurance given that there will be any awareness generated. Consequently, investors may be unable to liquidate their investment or liquidate it at a price that reflects the value of the business. As a result, holders of our securities may not find purchasers for our securities should they to sell securities held by them. Consequently, only investors having no need for liquidity in their investment should purchase our securities and who can hold our securities for an indefinite period. We cannot give you any assurance that a “niche” business, such as ours andbroader 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 provide logistical expertise at a reduced cost, the Company can makegive you no assurance that ityou will be able to effectively compete with these other companiessell your shares at or that competitive pressures, including possible downward pressure onnear bid prices or at all if you need money or otherwise desire to liquidate your shares.

Our annual and quarterly results may fluctuate, which may cause substantial fluctuations in our Common Stock price.
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 material 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.
We have never paid cash dividends and do not anticipate doing so in the foreseeable future.
We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our common shares. We currently plan to retain any earnings to finance the growth of our business rather than to pay cash dividends. Payments of any cash dividends in the future 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 our control, prevent attempts to replace or remove current management and reduce the market price of our stock.
We are 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 our 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.
The forward-looking statements contained herein report may prove incorrect.
This filing contains certain forward-looking statements, including among others: (i) anticipated trends in our financial condition and results of operations; (ii) our business strategy for expanding our business into various foreign countries; and (iii) our ability to distinguish ourselves from our current and future competitors. These forward-looking statements are based largely on our current expectations and are subject risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from these forward-looking statements. In addition to the other risks described elsewhere in this “Risk Factors” discussion, important factors to consider in evaluating such forward-looking statements include: (i) changes to external competitive market factors or in our internal budgeting process which might impact trends in our results of operations; (ii) anticipated working capital or other cash requirements; (iii) changes in our

business strategy or an inability to execute our strategy due to unanticipated changes in our business; and (iv) various competitive factors that may prevent us from competing successfully in the marketplace. Considering these risks and uncertainties, many of which are described in greater detail elsewhere in this “Risk Factors” discussion, there can be no assurance that the events predicted in forward-looking statements contained in this Offering Circular will, in fact, transpire.
Our stock price may be volatile, which may result in losses to our shareholders.
The stock markets have experienced significant price and trading volume fluctuations, and the market prices of companies listed on the OTCPNK quotation system in which shares of our common stock are listed, have been volatile in the past and have experienced sharp share price and trading volume changes. The trading price of our common stock is likely to be volatile and could fluctuate widely in response to many factors, including the following, some of which are beyond our control:
Shareholders should be aware that, according to SEC Release No. 34-29093, the market for penny stocks can be negatively affected from patterns of fraud and abuse.
Such patterns include (1) control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer; (2) manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases; (3) boiler room practices involving high-pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons; (4) excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differential and markups by selling broker-dealers; and (5) the wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the resulting inevitable collapse of those prices and with consequent investor losses. Our management is aware of the abuses that have occurred historically in the penny stock market. Although we do not expect to be in a position to dictate the behavior of the market or of broker-dealers who participate in the market, management will strive within the confines of practical limitations to prevent the described patterns from being established with respect to our securities. The occurrence of these patterns or practices could increase the volatility of our share price.
Our Articles of Incorporation exculpates our officers and directors from certain liability to us or our stockholders.
Our Articles of Incorporation contain a provision that no director or officer will be personally liable to us or our stockholders for damages regarding breaches of fiduciary duty. This limitation on liability may reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against our officers and directors and may discourage or deter our stockholders from suing our officers and directors based upon breaches of their duties to us. . The foregoing indemnification obligations could result in our incurring substantial expenditures to cover the cost of settlement or damage awards against directors and officers, which we may be unable to recoup. Additionally, these provisions and resultant costs may also discourage our bringing a lawsuit against directors and officers for breaches of their fiduciary duties and may similarly discourage the filing of derivative litigation by our shareholders against our directors and officers, even though such actions, if successful, might otherwise benefit us and our shareholders. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers or controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission this indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
Litigation may adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations
From time to time in the normal course of its business operations, we may become subject to litigation that may result in liability material to our financial statements as a whole or may negatively affect our s operating results if changes to our business operations are required. The cost to defend such litigation may be significant and may require a diversion of resources. There also may be adverse publicity associated with litigation that could negatively affect customer perception of our business, regardless of whether the allegations are valid or whether we are ultimately found liable. Insurance may be unavailable at all or in sufficient amounts to cover any liabilities with respect to these or other matters. A judgment or other liability in excess of the insurance coverage for any claims could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Our bylaws limit the liability of, and employee and the Company will likely continue to have limited employees in the future. Furthermore, assuming the Company receives contracts, it will be required to manage multiple relationships with various customers and other third parties. These requirements will be exacerbated in the event of further growth of the Company or in the number of its contracts. There can be no assurance that the Company's systems, procedures or controls will be adequate to support the Company's operations or that the Company will be able to achieve the rapid execution necessary to successfully offer its services and implement its business plan. The Company's future operating results, if any, will also depend on its ability to add additional personnel commensurate with the growth of its business, if any. If the Company is unable to manage growth effectively, the Company's business, results of operations and financial condition will be adversely affected.
Our bylaws, provide that we shall indemnify our officers and directors for any liability including reasonable costs of defense arising out of any act or omission of any officer or director on our behalf to the fullestfull extent authorizedallowed by the laws of the State of Nevada, Revised Statutes against all expense, liability, and loss, including attorney's fees, judgments, fines excise taxes or penalties and amounts to be paid in settlement reasonably incurred or suffered by an officer or Director in connection with any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil or criminal, administrative or investigative (hereinafter a "Proceeding") to whichif the officer or Director is madedirector acted in good faith and in a party or is threatened to be made a party, or in whichmanner the officer or Director is involved by reasondirector reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the fact that hecorporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or she is orproceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct was an officer or Director of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as an officer or Director of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise whether the basis of the Proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as an officer or Director, or in any other capacity while serving as an officer or Director.unlawful. Thus, the Companywe may be prevented from recovering damages for certain alleged errors or omissions by the officers and Directorsdirectors for liabilities incurred in connection with their good faith acts for the Company.acts. Such an indemnification payment might deplete the Company'sour assets. Stockholders who have questions respecting the fiduciary obligations of theour officers and Directors of the Companydirectors should consult with independent legal counsel.
It is the position of the Securities and Exchange CommissionSEC that exculpation from and indemnification for liabilities arising under the 1933Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder is against public policy and therefore unenforceable.
If this Registration Statement becomes effective and we become a fully reporting public company, we anticipate incurring significant legal, accounting and other expenses in connection with this status. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the "Sarbanes-Oxley Act") and new rules subsequently implemented by the SEC have imposed various new requirements on public companies, including requiring changes in corporate governance practices. As such, our management and other personnel will need to devote a substantial amount of time to these new compliance initiatives. Moreover, these rules and regulations will increase our legal and financial compliance costs and will make some activities more time-consuming and costly. In addition, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among other things, that we maintain effective internal controls for financial reporting and disclosure of controls and procedures. Our compliance with Section 404 will require that we incur substantial accounting expense and expend significant management efforts. We currentlysecurities industry analysts do not have an internal audit group, and we will need to hire additional accounting and financial staff with appropriate public company experience and technical accounting knowledge. Moreover, if we are not able to comply with the requirements of Section 404 in a timely manner,publish research reports on us, or if we or our independent registered public accounting firm identifies deficiencies in our internal controls over financial reporting that are deemed to be material weaknesses,publish unfavorable reports on us, then the market price and market trading volume of our Common Stock could be negatively affected.
Any trading market for our Common Stock will be influenced in part by any research reports that securities industry analysts publish about us. We do not currently have and may never obtain research coverage by securities industry analysts. If no securities industry analysts commence coverage of us, the market price and market trading volume of our Common Stock could be negatively affected. In the event we are covered by analysts, and one or more of such analysts downgrade our securities, or otherwise reports on us unfavorably, or discontinues coverage or us, the market price and market trading volume of our Common Stock could be negatively affected.
RISKS RELATED TO OUR COMMON STOCK
An investment in our shares is highly speculative.
The shares of our common stock are highly speculative in nature, involve a high degree of risk and should be purchased only by persons who can afford to lose the entire amount invested in the common stock. Before purchasing any of the shares of common stock, you should carefully consider the risk factors contained herein relating to our business and prospects. If any of the risks presented herein actually occur, our business, financial condition or operating results could be materially adversely affected. In such case, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and we could be subject to sanctionsyou may lose all or investigations bypart of your investment.
You may experience future dilution as a result of future equity offerings.
We may in the SEC or other regulatory authorities, which would requirefuture offer additional financial and management resources.
Future issuances of debt securities, which would rank senior to our dividend policycommon stock upon our bankruptcy or liquidation, and future issuances of preferred stock, which would rank senior to our common stock for the purposes of dividends and liquidating distributions, may adversely affect the level of return you may be able to achieve from an investment in our common stock.
In the future, we may attempt to increase our capital resources by offering debt securities. Upon bankruptcy or liquidation, holders of our debt securities, and lenders with respect to other borrowings we may make, would receive distributions of our available assets prior to any distributions being made to holders of our common stock. Moreover, if we issue preferred stock, the holders of such preferred stock could be entitled to preferences over holders of common stock in respect of the payment of dividends and the payment of liquidating distributions. Because our decision to issue debt or preferred securities in any future offering, or borrow money from lenders, will depend in part on market conditions and other factors beyond our control, we cannot predict or estimate the amount, timing or nature of any such future offerings or borrowings. Holders of our common stock must bear the risk that any future offerings we conduct or borrowings we make may adversely affect the level of return they may be able to achieve from an investment in our common stock.
External economic factors may have a material adverse impact on our business prospects.
Success can also be affected significantly by changes in local, regional, and national economic conditions. Factors such as inflation, labor, energy, real estate costs, the availability and cost of suitable employees, fluctuating interest rates, state and local laws and regulations and licensing requirements and increased competition can also adversely affect us.

Cautionary Note
We have sought to identify what we believe to be the most significant risks to our business, but we cannot predict whether, or to what extent, any of such risks may be realized nor can we guarantee that we have identified all possible risks that might arise. Investors should carefully consider all of such risk factors before making an investment decision with respect to our common stock.
RISKS RELATED TO OUR PREFERRED SHARES
The President of our subsidiary, Chris Davenport, has the ability to control corporate and stockholder matters, providing him with the ability to control or influence stockholder decisions.
The President of our subsidiary, Chris Davenport, owns 17,100 Series Preferred B Shares, which shares provide Chris Davenport with 66.7 % of our Voting Common Stock Shares outstanding. Chris Davenport’s ability to convert his Preferred B Shares into a majority of our Common Stock Shares outstanding gives him the control over a majority of our outstanding voting power, enabling him to control corporate and stockholder matters, including funding employee equity incentive programs, electing directors, and determining the outcome of all matters submitted to a vote of our stockholders.
Preferred C Shares if converted into Common Shares, will cause material dilution to Common Stock held by our shareholders.
The President of our subsidiary, Chris Davenport, owns 6,075 Preferred C Shares, which are automatically converted on December 31, 2024 by multiplying the number of issued and outstanding shares of our common stock (2,846,223) by 2.63 (7,485,566), which would cause substantial dilution to holders of our Common Stock.
RISKS RELATED TO THE CSPA AND THE WARRANT WITH TRITON
TRITON’S sales of our Shares into the open market may cause material decreases in our stock price.
The 600,000 shares of Common Stock shares (if issued at our discretion under the Purchase Agreement terms and conditions) and the 300,000 shares of Common Stock underlying the Common Stock Purchase Warrant that are being registered herein may be sold into the market by Triton could cause our stock price to materially decline.
Funding from the Purchase Agreement (“CSPA”) with Triton may be limited or insufficient to fund our operations or to implement our strategy.
Under our CSPA with TRITON, upon effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, and subject to other conditions, until December 31, 2021 we may direct Triton to purchase up to $1,000,000 of our common stock. At an assumed [hypothetical] purchase price of $0.9495 (see Illustration table on page 34), and assuming the sale by us to Triton of all of the 600,000 shares being registered under the CSPA pursuant to draw downs under the CSPA, we would receive approximately $569,700 in gross proceeds, which is $430,300 less than we would receive from the maximum financing of $1,000,000, in addition to which other factors may negatively affect the amount of proceeds we receive, including our share price, discount to market, and other factors relating to our common stock. To achieve the maximum financing of $1,000,000, we would be required to file an amendment to the Form S-1 and could not request any further Draw Downs until such registration statement is declared effective.
There can be no assurance that we will be based onable to receive all or any of the operating resultstotal commitment from Triton because the CSPA contains certain limitations, restrictions, requirements, conditions and capital needsother provisions that could limit our ability to cause Triton to buy common stock from us. For instance, we are prohibited from issuing a Draw Down Notice if the amount requested in such Draw Down Notice exceeds the Maximum Draw Down Amount of $500,000, or the sale of Shares pursuant to the Draw Down Notice would cause us to sell or Triton to purchase an aggregate number of shares of the Company’s common stock which would result in beneficial ownership by Triton of more than 9.99% of our business, it is anticipated that any earnings will be retained to finance our future expansion.
- 25 -
The extent to which we rely on Triton as a source of funding will depend on a number of factors, including the independent decision by the Board of Directors to provide any Draw Down Notices, amount of working capital needed, the prevailing market price of our common stock and the extent to which we are able to secure working capital from other sources. If obtaining sufficient funding from Triton were to prove unavailable or prohibitively dilutive, we would need to secure another source of funding. Even if we sell all 600,000 shares of common stock under the Securities Exchange Act as long asPurchase Agreement with Triton, we will still need additional capital to fully implement our current business, operating plans, and development plans.
The sale or issuance of our common stock to Triton at a discount may cause substantial dilution and the resale of the shares of common stock by Triton into the public market, or the perception that such sales may occur, could cause the price of our common stock to fall.
Under the CSPA, upon effectiveness of the registration statement of which this Prospectus is below $5.00 per share. Under such rule, broker-dealers who recommend low-priced securitiesa part, and subject to persons other than established customers and accredited investors must satisfy special sales practice requirements, including a requirement that they makeconditions, up to December 31, 2021 we may direct Triton to purchase up to $1,000,000 of our shares of common stock. We are registering an individualized written suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's consent prioraggregate of 600,000 shares on behalf of Triton pursuant to the transaction. The Securities Enforcement Remedies and Penny Stock Reform ActCSPA. Based on TRITON’s beneficial ownership limitation of 1990, also requires additional disclosure9.99% set forth in connection with any trades involving a stock defined as a penny stock. Generally, the Commission defines a penny stock as any equity security not traded on an exchange or quoted on NASDAQ that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share. The required penny stock disclosures include the delivery, prior to any transaction, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the risks associated with it. Such requirements could severely limit the market liquidityCSPA, if all of the securities600,000 shares offered under this prospectus were issued and the abilityoutstanding as of purchasers to sell their securities in the secondary market.
Specifically, because the per share Equity Purchase price for the Shares subject to a Draw Down Notice will be equal to a 10% discount to certain trading prices of our common stock as set forth in the CSPA, Triton will pay less than the then-prevailing market price for our public float,common stock, and asthe actual Equity Purchase price for the Shares that we may sell to Triton will fluctuate based on the closing prices of our common stock during the term of the CSPA. As a result of this discount, Triton may have a financial incentive to sell our common stock immediately to realize the profit equal to the difference between the Equity Purchase price and the market price. If Triton sells the common stock, the market price of our common stock could decrease. If the market price of our common stock decreases, Triton may have a further incentive to sell the common stock that it holds. These sales may have a further impact on the market price of our common stock.
Moreover, there is an inverse relationship between the market price of our common stock and the number of shares of our common stock that may be sold pursuant to the CSPA. That is, the lower the market price, the more shares of our common stock that may be sold under the CSPA. Accordingly, if the market price of our common stock decreases (whether such decrease is due to sales by Triton in the market or otherwise) and, in turn, the Equity Purchase price of our common stock sold to Triton under the CSPA decreases, this could allow Triton to receive greater numbers of shares of our common stock pursuant to draw downs under the CSPA. Although the number of shares of our common stock that our existing stockholders own will not decrease, the common stock owned by our existing stockholders will represent a smaller percentage of our total outstanding shares after any such sales to TRITON. Depending on market liquidity at the time, the sale of a substantial number of shares of our common stock to Triton at a discount to the then-prevailing market price for our common stock under the CSPA, and the resale of such shares by Triton into the public market, or the perception that such sales may occur, could cause the trading price of our common stock to decline, result in substantial dilution to existing stockholders and 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 to effect sales.
For a tabular disclosure of the number of securities and percentage ownership to be extreme fluctuations inissued assuming we sell all the securities on the registration statement and assuming sales to Triton at various discounts to our current market price, please see “CSPA with Triton“ on page 29 of this prospectus.
The exercise of the Warrant by Triton and the subsequent resale of the shares of common stock by Triton into the public market, or the perception that such sales may occur, could cause the price of our common stock. Further, duestock to fall.
Under the limited volumeWarrant, at any time and from time to time until 3 years after the execution date of ourthe Warrant, Triton may exercise in one or more occasions (each, a “Warrant Exercise”) its right to purchase an aggregate of up to 300,000 shares which trade and our limited public float, we believe thatof Common Stock.

We intend to use the actual valuenet proceeds from sales of our common stock). Shareholdersstock to Triton pursuant to the CSPA and potentialfrom Triton’s exercise of the Warrant. As of the date of this prospectus, we cannot specify with certainty all of the particular uses of the proceeds from sales of common stock to Triton pursuant to the CSPA or any proceeds derived from the exercise of the Warrant. Accordingly, we will have significant discretion in the use of the net proceeds of sales of common stock to Triton pursuant to the CSPA and from Triton’s exercise of the Warrant. It is possible that we may allocate the Proceeds differently than investors in this offering desire or that we will fail to maximize our return on these proceeds. We may, subsequent to this offering, modify our intended use of the proceeds from sales of common stock. You will be relying on the judgment of our management with regard to the use of proceeds, and you will not have the opportunity, as part of your investment decision, to assess whether the Proceeds are being used appropriately. Any failure to apply the Proceeds from sales of common stock to Triton pursuant to the CSPA or exercise of the Warrant effectively could have a material adverse effect on our business and cause a decline in the market price of our common stockstock.
Because the risk factors referred to above, as well as other risks not mentioned above, could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by us, you should exercise cautionnot place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements. Further, any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which such statement is made or reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict which ones will arise. In addition, we cannot assess the impact of each factor on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.
Cautionary Note
We have sought to identify what we believe to be the most significant risks to our business, but we cannot predict whether, or to what extent, any of such risks may be realized nor can we guarantee that we have identified all possible risks that might arise. Investors should carefully consider all of such risk factors before making an investment in the Company, and should not rely on the publicly quoted or traded stock prices in determiningdecision with respect to our common stock value, but should instead determine value of our common stock based on the information contained in the Company's public reports, industry information, and those business valuation methods commonly used to value private companies.

Paymentnet proceeds from the exercise of dividends in the future will depend upon our earnings,warrants, if any, for working capital requirements and general corporate purposes and acquisitions or assets, businesses, or operations or for other factors, whichpurposes that our Board of Directors, in good faith, deems to be in our best interest of the Company. Our management will have broad discretion over the use of proceeds from the exercise of the Warrant.
There is no assurance that the holders of the warrants will elect to exercise any or all of the warrants. To the extent that the warrants are exercised on a “cashless basis,” the amount of cash we would receive from the exercise of the warrants will decrease. In addition, should a triggering event occur, as described in the Warrant agreement, we could receive less than $2.10 per share.
DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE
We have not set an offering price for the shares registered hereunder, as the only common shares being registered are those sold pursuant to the CSPA and the Warrant Agreement. Triton may deem relevant.
Therefore, the public offering price of the shares does not necessarily bear any relationship to established valuation criteria and may not be indicative of prices that may prevail at any time or from time to time in the public market for the common stock. You cannot be sure that a public market for any of our securities will develop and continue or that the securities will ever trade at a price at or higher than the offering price in this offering.

Although 24,000,000 restricted shares were issued in connection with the Exchange, certain of our significant shareholders agreed to cancel some of the shares of common stock they owned so that the net effect of the Exchange was an increase to the outstanding shares of common stock by 7,175,000 shares rather than 24,000,000. Included in the shareholders receiving shares of common stock in connection with the Exchange, was Timothy Armes, founder and president of Nurses Lounge, Inc., who received 14,902,795 shares.
On November 29, 2018, we entered into a Share Exchange Agreement whereby we acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding equity securities of The 4LESS Corp. (“4Less”), a private company, in exchange for our issuance of nineteen thousand (19,000) shares of our Series B Preferred Stock, 6,750 Series C Convertible Preferred Shares, and 870 Series D Preferred Shares.
| Shareholder | # of Series B Preferred | # of Series C Preferred | # of Series D Preferred |
| Christopher Davenport | 17,100 | 6,075 | 675 |
| Sergio Salzano | 1,900 | 675 | 75 |
| Timothy Armes | 1,000 | 0 | 120 |
| TOTAL | 20,000 | 6,750 | 870 |
The Series C Convertible Preferred Shares have a right to convert into our common stock by multiplying the number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock by 2.63 on the conversion date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any and all outstanding shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock shall automatically convert at the Conversion Price on December 31, 2024. As a result of this Share Exchange, the former shareholders of the private company, 4Less, became our controlling shareholders. The Share Exchange was accounted for as a reverse takeover/recapitalization effected by a share exchange, wherein the private company, 4Less is considered the acquirer for accounting and financial reporting purposes. Pursuant to the transaction, Tim Armes, our CEO, cancelled 60,000,000 shares of common stock in exchange for 120 shares of Series D Preferred Stock. As a result of the transaction, 4Less, the private company, became our wholly owned subsidiary and there was a change in our control whereby Christopher Davenport and Sergio Salzano, collectively hold voting rights equal to 63.37% of the total voting rights at any given time by virtue of holding 95% of the Series B Preferred Stock. In addition, Tim Armes, our CEO, still retains 1,000 Class B Preferred Shares, representing 3.30% of the Series B Preferred Stock. Accordingly, the total voting rights owned by Chris Davenport, Sergio Salzano, and Tim Armes are 66.67%. On December 12, 2019, The 4Less Corp. name was changed to Auto Parts 4Less, Inc., a Nevada corporation, and continues to operate as our wholly owned subsidiary.

Significant Developments
At the beginning of 2020, we established our goals which were to reduce debt, obtain minimally dilutive new capital, cut costs and develop the AutoParts4Less.com marketplace.
| ● | The reduction of debt, began in late January of 2020, first by exchanging $1.1 million of debt, that was convertible at highly discounted rates, in exchange for 250 shares of The 4Less Group’s Series C Convertible Preferred Stock. The 250 shares of Series C Preferred represent an approximate 2.5% ownership stake. |

MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES
Market Information
Our common stock is traded on the OTC Markets OTCQB maintained by OTC Markets under the symbol “FLES”. The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the high and low sales prices, which set forth reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-up or mark-down and without commissions; and may not reflect actual transactions. We effected a 4,000 to 1 reverse stock split on February 25, 2020, so the post reverse split prices are shown.

During our financial quarter ending July 31, 2021, our low and high quotations were $2.15 and 1.71, respectively.
Our high and low quotations for August 4, 2021 were $2.03 and $2.00, respectively.
Penny Stock Considerations
Our Common Stock will be deemed to be “penny stock” as that term is generally defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to mean equity securities with a price of less than $5.00. Our shares thus will be subject to rules that impose sales practice and disclosure requirements on broker-dealers who engage in certain transactions involving a penny stock.
Under the penny stock regulations, a broker-dealer selling a penny stock to anyone other than an established customer or accredited investor must make a special suitability determination regarding the purchaser and must receive the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to the sale, unless the broker-dealer is otherwise exempt. Generally, an individual with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 individually or $300,000 together with his or her spouse is considered an accredited investor. In addition, the broker-dealer is required to:
Deliver, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prepared by the SEC relating to the penny stock market, unless the broker-dealer or the transaction is otherwise exempt;
| ● | Disclose commissions payable to the broker-dealer and our registered representatives and current bid and offer quotations for the securities; |
| ● | |
| ● |
Because of these regulations, broker-dealers may encounter difficulties in their attempt to buy or sell shares of our Common Stock, which may affect the ability of Selling Stockholder or other holders to sell their shares in the secondary market and have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market. These additional sales practice and disclosure requirements could impede the sale of our Common Stock even if our Common Stock becomes publicly traded. In addition, the liquidity for our Common Stock may be decreased, with a corresponding decrease in the price of our Common Stock. Our shares are likely to be subject to such penny stock rules for the foreseeable future.

We had total revenue of $3,728,784 for the three months ended April 30, 2021, compared to $2,000,071 for the three months ended April 30, 2020. Sales increased by $1,728,713 due to aggressive advertising and increased consumer demand. The Company also recorded $981,830 in deferred revenue, which will be recognized as revenue next quarter and recognized $687,766 from last quarter. The deferred revenue represents orders paid by customers this period but delivered in the following period due to back orders and processing and delivery times. The Company also recorded $268,932 in customer deposits for the three months ended April 30, 2021 and recognized $188,385 from the prior quarter. The customer deposits are orders paid by customers and canceled in the following period due to back orders or other reasons.
The Company’s focus continues in growing its proprietary website revenues and the Company was successful in that, increasing its proprietary website revenue by 91%.

Gross Profit
We had gross profit of $962,206 for the three months ended April 30, 2021, compared to gross profit of $571,767 for the three months ended April 30, 2020. Gross profit increased by $390.439 as a result of the increased revenues explained above and partly offset by an increase in cost of revenue due to the Company having to purchase goods at higher product costs from distributers rather than the usual manufacturers due to higher than anticipated demand which manufacturers were not able to meet.

• Depreciation increased by $4,088 due to two new vehicles acquired this quarter.
• Postage shipping and freight increased by $80,049 due to higher sales.
• Marketing and advertising increased by $589,966 due to aggressive promotional efforts in 2021 to drive sales to our proprietary websites and build our brands. Note for the three months ended April 30, 2020 the Company had reduced spending due to the Covid 19 pandemic.
• E Commerce Services, Commissions and Fees increased by $249,708 due to higher sales.
• Operating Lease Cost decreased by $3,600 due to one less operating lease in 2021.
• Personnel Costs increased by $30,758 due to temporary layoffs in the prior year’s quarter commencing March 2020 as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic.
• General and Administrative in increased by $472,867 due to increases of $273,720 in investor relations costs as a result of the REG A subscription offering and $173,543 in professional fees due to reporting and business requirements. Note for the three months ended April 30, 2020, the Company had reduced spending significantly due to the Covid 19 pandemic.
Other Income (Expense)
The following table shows our other income and expenses for the three months ended April 30, 2021 and 2020:
| Change | |||||||||||||
| 2021 | 2020 | $ | % | ||||||||||

| Total Other Income (Expense) | $ | 674,801 | $ | 1,395,859 | $ | (721,058 | ) | (52 | %) | ||||
The changes above can be explained by the reduction in convertible debt that started in the prior year’s quarter ended April 30,2020. As a result of the debt exchanges and settlements, the gain on settlement of debt was higher and there were reductions in amortization expense and interest expense due to the lower debt. The higher loss on derivatives is a function of the market factors in the valuation of the derivative liability described in Note 8.
- 47 -
We had a net loss of $567,557 for three months ended April 30, 2021, compared to net income of $1,186,898 for three months ended April 30, 2021. The decrease in net income was mainly due to the gain on settlement in debt that occurred in the three months ended April 30, 2020, the higher operating expenses, specifically marketing, investor relations and professional fees in the three months ended April 30, 2021 which were partly offset by the 86% increase in revenues.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Management believes that we will continue to incur losses for the immediate future. Therefore, we will need additional equity or debt financing until we can achieve profitability and positive cash flows from operating activities, if ever. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of assets or the classification of liabilities that may be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern. For the three months ended April 30, 2021, we have increased revenue and are working to achieve positive cash flows from operations.
As of April 30, 2021, we had a cash balance of $1,342,321, share subscription receivable of $94,817, inventory of $307,526 and $4,461,893 in current liabilities. At the current cash consumption rate, we will need to consider additional funding sources going forward. We are taking proactive measures to reduce operating expenses and drive growth in revenue.
The successful outcome of future activities cannot be determined at this time and there is no assurance that, if achieved, we will have sufficient funds to execute our intended business plan or generate positive operating results.
Capital Resources
The following table summarizes total current assets, liabilities and working capital (deficit) for the periods indicated:
| April 30, 2021 | January 31, 2021 | ||||||
| Current assets | $ | 1,761,100 | $ | 715,083 | |||

| Working capital (deficits) | $ | (2,700,793 | ) | $ | (4,344,055 | ) | |
Net cash used in operations for the three months ended April 30, 2021 was $820,458 as compared to net cash used in operations of $52,916 for the three months ended April 30, 2020. Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended April 30, 2021 was $35,000 as compared to $0 for the same period in 2020. Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended April 30, 2021 was $1,920,115 as compared to $79,035 for the three months ended April 30, 2020.
Subsequent Event
Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended April 30, 2021 Compared to the Three Months Ended April 30, 2020
Subsequent to our last financial quarter ending April 30, 2021 for which our third party website sales totaled $1,605,683, our revenues with respect to the third party website, eBay, have decreased by approximately 50% in our second financial quarter ending July 31, 2021, primarily due to eBay dropping us as a preferred seller due to the inability of manufacturers to manufacture and ship to the buyers on a timely basis.
In the period from the original filing date of the Form 10-Q for the period ended April 30, 2021 on June 14, 2021 through the date of filing of this registration statement on Form S-1, the Company received cash proceeds in the amount of $733,250 for the issuance of three convertible promissory notes with a combined principal amount of $810,125, the difference being original issue discount. One of the notes has interest included in the original issue discount and two of the notes have additional interest of 12% per annum. The maturity dates of the notes range from 10 months to 1 year and contain conversion rights with conversion rates ranging from $2 per share to a 25% discount on the closing trading price on the day immediately prior to conversion. The Company issued 191,810 shares of common stock in conjunction with the issuance of the promissory notes. Two of the three promissory notes rank senior to all unsecured liabilities of the Company.
In June 2021, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary Auto Parts 4 Less, Inc. entered into two factoring loan agreements in which it borrowed gross proceeds of $1 million, less approximately $25,000 in origination costs in which the Company agreed to make 52 weekly payments totaling $1.3 million. The factor loans have an annual interest rate of that ranges from approximately 55% to 65%. The factor loans are secured by all of the cash and receivables of Auto Parts 4 Less, Inc. and have been personally guaranteed by the President of Auto Parts 4 Less, Inc.
On July 15, 2021 the automatic conversion date of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock was extended from December 31, 2021 to December 31, 2024.

We had total revenue of $8,171,355 for the year ended January 31, 2021, compared to $8,186,214 for the year ended January 31, 2020. Sales decreased by $14,859. The decrease was due to orders received and paid for at year end that were unfulfilled due to supply chain issues because of supplier back-orders as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. The Company at January 31, 2021 had $687,786 of deferred revenue which represents orders received before January 31, 2021 but delivered after. This will be revenue that the Company recognizes in the first quarter ended April 30, 2021. Also, the Company had $188,385 in customer deposits which represents orders received before January 31, 2021 but cancelled after. Again the cancellation were due to supplier back order issues. The impact of the supply chain issues represents approximately $876,000 in lost revenue to the Company this fiscal year. We do continue to grow our proprietary website revenues which increased by 29% offset by a reduction in third party website revenue by 20%.
Gross Profit
We had gross profit of $1,460,628 for the year ended January 31, 2021, compared to gross profit of $1,911,025 for the year ended January 31, 2020. Gross profit decreased by $450,397 because cost of revenue was higher due to the Company having to purchase goods at higher product costs from distributers rather than the usual manufacturers due to higher than anticipated demand which manufacturers were not able to meet. This was caused by the supply chain issues mentioned in the previous paragraph.
Operating Expenses
The following table shows our operating expenses for the years ended January 31, 2021 and 2020. Operating expenses decreased to $3,602,462 for the year ended January 31, 2021 from $3,764,289 for the year ended January 31, 2020:

• Marketing and advertising decreased by $92,414 due to lesser promotional efforts related to the pandemic.
• E Commerce Services, Commissions and Fees increased by $124,092 due to higher sales.
• Operating Lease Cost increased slightly by $4,076 or 3%.

The results of the year ended January 31, 2021 resulted in other income of $ 3,329,010 vs other expense of 2,026,582 for the year ended January 31, 2020. There were debt settlements and exchanges which resulted in the increase in gain on settlement of debt and lower interest expense. Fair value of derivatives was largely affected by the increase in the market price of our common stock during the current period as well as the significant reduction in convertible debt.
We had net income of $1,187,176 for the year ended January 31, 2021, compared to a net loss of $3,879,846 for the year ended January 31, 2020 due mainly to the gain on debt settlement and other factors mentioned above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of January 31, 2021, we had cash and cash equivalents of $277,664 of cash, $323,411 of inventory and total current liabilities of $5,059,138. We had negative working capital of $4,344,055 as of January 31, 2021.
Net cash (used in) operations for the year ended January 31, 2021 was $(859,821) compared to $(1,154,311) for the year ended January 31, 2020.
Net cash provided from investing activities for the year ended January 31, 2021 was $9,750 compared to $109,080 for the year ended January 31, 2020.
Cash provided by financing activities for the year ended January 31, 2021 was $965,611 compared to $1,147,954 for the year ended January 31, 2020. In both years the cash provided from financing activities was from the net proceeds of notes payable and short term debt and in 2021 additionally the proceeds from the issuance of common shares and PPP loan.
As of April 30, 2021, the Company issued 1,097,250 shares for $2,194,500 as part of Regulation A filing. The company received $2,099,683 in cash proceeds with the remaining $94,817 recorded as share proceeds receivable.
We borrowed funds and/or sold stock for working capital. These transactions are detailed in the section “Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities”.

Currently, we don’t have sufficient cash reserves to meet its contractual obligations and its ongoing monthly expenses, which we anticipate totaling approximately $4,000,000 over the next 12 months. At present, absent additional financing, we estimate that we have sufficient cash and anticipated revenue to fully carry out our business plan for three months, after which we may need to scale back our business plan. Historically, revenues have not been sufficient to cover operating costs that would permit us to continue as a going concern. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We have been able to continue operating to date largely from loans made by its shareholders, other debt financings and sale of common stock. We are currently looking at both short-term and more permanent financing opportunities, including debt or equity funding, bridge or short-term loans, and/or traditional bank funding, but we have not decided on any specific path moving forward. Until we have raised sufficient funding to pay our ongoing expenses associated with being a public company, and we have sufficient funds to support our planned operations, we can provide no assurances that it will be able to meet its short and long-term liquidity needs, until necessary financing is secured.
We do not currently have any additional formal commitments or identified sources of additional capital from third parties or from our officers, director or significant shareholders. We can provide no assurance that additional financing will be available on favorable terms, if at all. If we are not able to raise the capital necessary to continue our business operations, we may be forced to abandon or curtail our business plan.
In the future, we may be required to seek additional capital by selling additional debt or equity securities, selling assets, if any, or otherwise be required to bring cash flows in balance when we approach a condition of cash insufficiency. The sale of additional equity or debt securities, if accomplished, may result in dilution to our then shareholders. We provide no assurance that financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, or at all.
Critical Accounting Policies
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue under ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The core principle of the revenue standard is that a company should recognize revenue when control is transferred over the promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods and services transferred to the customer. The following five steps are applied to achieve that core principle:
Step 1: Identify the contract with the customer
Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract
Step 3: Determine the transaction price
Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract
Step 5: Recognize revenue when the company satisfies a performance obligation
Because the Company’s sales agreements generally have an expected duration of one year or less, the Company has elected the practical expedient in ASC 606-10-50-14(a) to not disclose information about its remaining performance obligations.
Disaggregation of Revenue: Channel Revenue
The following table shows revenue split between proprietary and third party website revenue for the years ended January 31, 2021 and 2020:
| Change | ||||||||||||
| 2021 | 2020 | $ | % | |||||||||
| Proprietary website revenue | $ | 4,200,624 | $ | 3,246,351 | $ | 954,273 | 29% | |||||
| Third party website revenue | 3,970,731 | 4,939,863 | (969,132 | ) | (20% | ) | ||||||
| Total Revenue | $ | 8,171,355 | $ | 8,186,214 | $ | (14,859 | ) | 0% | ||||
The Company’s performance obligations are satisfied at the point in time when products are received by the customer, which is when the customer has title and obtained the significant risks and rewards of ownership. Therefore, the Company’s contracts have a single performance obligation (shipment of product). The Company primarily receives fixed consideration for sales of product. Shipping and handling amounts paid by customers are primarily for online orders and are included in revenue. Sales tax and other similar taxes are excluded from revenue.
- 51 -
Revenue is recorded net of provisions for discounts and promotion allowances, which are typically agreed to upfront with the customer and do not represent variable consideration. Discounts and promotional allowances vary the consideration the Company is entitled to in exchange for the sale of products to customers. The Company recognizes these discounts and promotional allowances in the same period that the revenue is recognized for products sales to customers. The amount of revenue recognized represents the amount that will not be subject to a significant future reversal of revenue. The customer pays the Company by credit card prior to delivery.
The Company offers a 30 day satisfaction guaranteed return policy however the customer must pay for the return shipment. The return must be previously authorized, cannot be either damaged or previously installed and must be in saleable condition. In the Company’s experience this amount is immaterial and therefore no provision has been recorded on the Company’s books. Any defective merchandise falls under the manufacturer’s limited warranty and is subject to the manufacturer’s inspection. The manufacturer has the option to repair or replace the item.
All sales to customers are generally final. However, the Company accepts returned product due to quality or issues relating to product description or incorrect product orders and in such instances the Company would replace the product or refund the customers funds The Company’s customers generally pre-pay for the products.
Use of Estimates
In order to prepare financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, management must make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and determine whether contingent assets and liabilities, if any, are disclosed in the financial statements. The ultimate resolution of issues requiring these estimates and assumptions could differ significantly from resolution currently anticipated by management and on which the financial statements are based. The most significant estimates included in these consolidated financial statements are those associated with the assumptions used to value derivative liabilities.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, accounts payable, advances and notes payable. The Company considers the carrying value of such amounts in the financial statements to approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments. Derivatives are recorded at fair value at each period end. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the reporting date.
The ASC guidance for fair value measurements and disclosure establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
Level 1 Inputs – Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.
Level 2 Inputs – Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.
Level 3 Inputs – Instruments with primarily unobservable value drivers.
As of January 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company’s derivative liabilities were measured at fair value using Level 3 inputs. See Note 9.
The following table sets forth, by level within the fair value hierarchy, the Company’s financial liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of January 31, 2021:
| January 31, 2021 | Quoted Prices in Active Markets For Identical Assets (Level 1) | Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) | Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) | ||||||||||
| Liabilities: | |||||||||||||

| Totals | $ | 213,741 | $ | — | $ | — | $ | 213,741 | |||||
- 52 -
Derivative Liability
The derivative liabilities are valued as a level 3 input under the fair value hierarchy for valuing financial instruments. The derivatives arise from convertible debt where the debt and accrued interest is convertible into common stock at variable conversion prices and reclassification of equity instrument to liability due to insufficient shares for issuance. As the price of the common stock varies, it triggers a gain or loss based upon the discount to market assuming the debt was converted at the balance sheet date. When evaluating the effect of the issuance of new equity-linked or equity-settled instruments on previously issued instruments, the Company uses first-in, first-out method (“FIFO”) where authorized and unused shares would first be used to satisfy the earliest issued equity-linked instruments. As of January 31, 2021, warrants to purchase 0 common shares (583 shares before the reverse split of 2/25/2020 issued in July 2014 were not classified as derivative liability while the remaining warrants outstanding were classified as derivative liability based on the FIFO method.
The fair value of the derivative liability is determined using a lattice model, is re-measured on the Company’s reporting dates, and is affected by changes in inputs to that model including our stock price, historical stock price volatility, the expected term, and both high risk and the risk-free interest rate. The most sensitive inputs to the model are for expected time for the holder to convert or be repaid and the estimated historical volatility of the Company’s common stock. However, because the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock is so high, the sensitivity required to change the liability by 1% as of January 31, 2020 is greater than 25% change in historical volatility as of that date. The other inputs, such as risk free rate, high yield cash rate and stock price all have a sensitivity for a 1% change in the input variable results in a significantly less than 1% change in the calculated derivative liability.
DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate Governance.
The following table lists the names and ages of the executive officers and director of the Company. The director(s) will continue to serve until the next annual shareholders meeting, or until their successors are elected and qualified. All officers serve at the discretion of the Board of Directors.
| Name | Age | Position | Date First Appointed/ Elected To the Company | |||
| Timothy Armes | 65 | Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, President, Secretary and Treasurer and President and Chief Executive Officer of | August 2011 | |||
| Chris Davenport | 51 | President of Autoparts4less | October 2013 |
Timothy Armes: Mr. Armes has served as President and Chief Executive Officer of The 4Less Group (formerly MedCareers Group, Inc.) since August 2011. From February 2011 to August 2011, Mr. Armes served as the Chief Operating Officer of the Company. Since August 2011, Mr. Armes has served as the Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, President, Secretary and Treasurer of the Company. In 1992 Mr. Armes launched one of the first online job bulletin boards which eventually grew into jobs.com. As CEO of Jobs.com he raised over 100 million dollars and grew it into one of the top employment web sites before leaving the company in May of 2000. Mr. Armes began his career as an auditor for Ernst and Young and then as a real estate workout specialist with different firms in the mid 1980’s. Mr. Armes obtained a Bachelor of Business Administration degree in Accounting from the University of Texas in 1980 and passed the Certified Public Accountant exam.
Director Qualifications:
We believe that Mr. Armes is well qualified to serve as a Director of the Company because of his significant experience working with and building Nurses Lounge (which since November 2010 has been our wholly-owned operating subsidiary); his prior experience growing Jobs.com, and his financial and accounting background.
Christopher Davenport: Mr. Davenport received his MBA from the University of California in September 2005 where he was recognized by his classmates as “the Most Innovative Thinker”. Before founding The 4Less Corp, Mr. Davenports’ previous business provided mobile dental services to the employees of the largest gaming corporations in the world. These contracts covered the lives of several hundred thousand employees on the Las Vegas strip. Due to the nature of the mobile facilities, Mr. Davenport implemented several new technologies at the time such as: filmless radiography, virtual patient charts and VPN networks to make for seamless quality health care. Soon after, Mr. Davenport expanded his mobile dental company to the military where he won several multiyear, multi-million dollars medical/dental National Guard Medical Readiness contracts. Mr. Davenport has a proven history of implementing innovative technologies that demonstrates his ability to lead The 4Less Corp into the future.

Corporate Governance
We promote accountability for adherence to honest and ethical conduct; endeavors to provide full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and in other public communications made by the Company; and strives to be compliant with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations.
In lieu of an Audit Committee, our Board of Directors (currently consisting solely of Timothy Armes), is responsible for reviewing and making recommendations concerning the selection of outside auditors, reviewing the scope, results and effectiveness of the annual audit of our financial statements and other services provided by our independent public accountants. The Board of Directors reviews our internal accounting controls, practices and policies.
Committees of the Board
We do not currently does not have nominating, compensation, or audit committees or committees performing similar functions nor do we have a written nominating, compensation or audit committee charter. The Board of Directors believes that it is not necessary to have such committees, at this time, because the functions of such committees can be adequately performed by the sole director.
Audit Committee Financial Expert
Our Board of Directors has determined that we do not have an independent board member that qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in Item 407(D)(5) of Regulation S-K, nor do we have a Board member that qualifies as “independent” as the term is used in Item 7(d)(3)(iv)(B) of Schedule 14A under the Exchange Act.
We believe that our sole director is capable of analyzing and evaluating our financial statements and understanding internal controls and procedures for financial reporting. The sole director does not believe that it is necessary to have an audit committee because management believes that the functions of an audit committee can be adequately performed by the sole director. In addition, we believe that retaining an independent director who would qualify as an “audit committee financial expert” would be overly costly and burdensome and is not warranted in our circumstances given the stage of our development and the fact that we have not generated any positive cash flows from operations to date.

Board Meetings and Annual Meeting
During the fiscal year ended January 31, 2021, our Board of Directors (currently consisting solely of Timothy Armes) did not meet or hold any formal meetings. We did not hold an annual meeting in the year ended January 31, 2021. In the absence of formal board meetings, the Board conducted all of its business and approved all corporate actions during the fiscal year ended January 31, 2021 by the unanimous written consent of its sole director.
Code of Ethics
We have not adopted a formal Code of Ethics. The Board of Directors evaluated the business of the Company and the number of employees and determined that since the business is operated by a small number of persons, general rules of fiduciary duty and federal and state criminal, business conduct and securities laws are adequate ethical guidelines. In the event our operations, employees and/or directors expand in the future, we may take actions to adopt a formal Code of Ethics.
Shareholder Proposals
We do have any defined policy or procedural requirements for shareholders to submit recommendations or nominations for directors. The sole director believes that, given the stage of our development, a specific nominating policy would be premature and of little assistance until our business operations develop to a more advanced level. We do not currently have any specific or minimum criteria for the election of nominees to the Board of Directors and we do not have any specific process or procedure for evaluating such nominees. The Board of Directors will assess all candidates, whether submitted by management or shareholders, and make recommendations for election or appointment.
A shareholder who wishes to communicate with our Board of Directors may do so by directing a written request addressed to our Chief Executive Officer, at the address appearing on the first page of this report.

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence.
As a result of the acquisition of the 4Less Corp in November 2018 and disposition of Nurses Lounge in December of 2018, Mr. Armes canceled 100 million shares (16,666 post-split) of his approximate 129,628,000 common shares he owned (21,604 post-split). Along with the cancellation of his common stock and a verbal agreement to stay on as our President, CEO and Chairman of the Board. Mr. Armes received 120 shares of Series D Preferred stock, maintained his 1,000 shares of Series B Preferred stock, received 100 Class C preferred shares (during the year ended January 31, 2021) and a payable to Mr. Armes representing $180,000 of deferred income of which a balance of $ 125,673 remains payable at January 31, 2021.
As part of the acquisition of the 4Less Corp., Christopher Davenport, the founder and president of The 4Less Corp, received 17,100 shares of Series B Preferred Stock representing approximately 89% of the 20,000 Series B Preferred stock outstanding, 6,075 shares of Series C Preferred stock outstanding which can be converted into approximately 60% of our outstanding common stock and 675 shares of Series D Preferred stock.
Review, Approval and Ratification of Related Party Transactions
Given our small size and limited financial resources, we had not adopted formal policies and procedures for the review, approval or ratification of transactions, such as those described above, with our executive officers, director(s) and significant stockholders. However, we make it a practice of having our Board of Directors (currently consisting solely of Mr. Armes) approve and ratify all related party transactions. In connection with such approval and ratification, our Board of Directors takes into account several factors, including their fiduciary duties to us; the relationships of the related parties to us; the material facts underlying each transaction; the anticipated benefits to us and related costs associated with such benefits; whether comparable products or services are available; and the terms we could receive from an unrelated third party.
We intend to establish formal policies and procedures in the future, once we have sufficient resources and have appointed additional directors, so that such transactions will be subject to the review, approval or ratification of our Board of Directors, or an appropriate committee thereof. On a moving forward basis, the Board of Directors will continue to approve any related party transaction based on the criteria set forth above.
Director Independence
We currently only have one director, Timothy Armes, who is not independent. We have no current plans to appoint any independent directors.
SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE
Prior to this offering, there has been a limited public market for our common stock. Future sales of substantial amounts of common stock in the public market could adversely affect market prices prevailing from time to time. Furthermore, since only a limited number of shares will be available for sale shortly after this offering because of certain restrictions on resale, sales of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market after the restrictions lapse could adversely affect the prevailing market price and our ability to raise equity capital in the future.
Upon completion of this offering and assuming all 600,000 shares of Common Stock are sold by the Company to Triton and Triton exercise all 300,000 shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrant, we may have outstanding an aggregate of up to 3,746,223 issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock. Of these shares, the aggregate of 900,000 as being registered herein will be freely tradable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act if issued to the Selling Stockholder pursuant to the terms and conditions Equity Financing Agreement or the Warrant, unless such shares are purchased by individuals who become “affiliates” as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as the result of the securities they acquire in this offering which provide them, directly or indirectly, with control or the capacity to control us. Our officers and directors will not be purchasing shares in this offering. The remaining shares of common stock held by our existing stockholders are “restricted securities” as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act. Restricted shares may be sold in the public market only if registered or if they qualify for an exemption from registration under Rule 144 and or Section 4(a)(1). As a result of these provisions of Rules 144, additional shares will be available for sale in the public market as follows:
| ● | no restricted shares will be eligible for immediate sale on the date of |
| ● | the remainder of the restricted shares |
- 58 -
Sales pursuant to Rule 144 are subject to certain requirements relating to the availability of current public information about us. A person (or persons whose shares are aggregated) who is not deemed to have been an affiliate of Hammer Fiber at any time during the 90 days immediately preceding the sale and who has beneficially owned restricted shares for at least six months is entitled to sell such shares under Rule 144 without regard to the resale limitations.
The SEC 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 with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver to the prospective purchaser a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the Securities and Exchange Commission that provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from such rules; the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the prospective purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. Furthermore, subsequent to a transaction in a penny stock, the broker-dealer will be required to deliver monthly or quarterly statements containing specific information about the penny stock. It is anticipated that our common stock will be traded on an OTC market at a price of less than $5.00. In this event, broker-dealers would be required to comply with the disclosure requirements mandated by the penny stock rules.
These disclosure requirements will likely make it more difficult for investors in this offering to sell their common stock in the secondary market.

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Business:
Nature of Business – The 4LESS Group, Inc., (the “Company”), was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on December 5, 2007. The Company, under the name MedCareers Group, Inc. (“MCGI”) formally operated a website for nurses, nursing schools and nurses’ organizations designed for better communication between nurses and the nursing profession.
On November 29, 2018, the Company entered into a transaction (the “Share Exchange”), pursuant to which the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding equity securities of The 4LESS Corp. (“4LESS”), in exchange for the issuance of (i) nineteen thousand (19,000) shares of Series B Preferred Stock, (ii) six thousand seven hundred fifty (6,750) shares of Series C Preferred Stock, and (iii) 870 shares of Series D Preferred Stock. The Series C Preferred Shares have a right to convert into common stock of the Company by multiplying the number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock by 2.63 on the conversion date. The Share Exchange closed on November 29, 2018. As a result of the Share Exchange, the former shareholders of 4LESS became the controlling shareholders of the Company. The Share Exchange was accounted for as a reverse takeover/recapitalization effected by a share exchange, wherein 4LESS is considered the acquirer for accounting and financial reporting purposes. The capital, share price, and earnings per share amount in these consolidated financial statements for the period prior to the reverse merger were restated to reflect the recapitalization in accordance with the shares issued as a result of the reverse merger except otherwise noted.
4LESS was formed as Vegas Suspension & Offroad, LLC on October 24, 2013 as a Nevada limited liability company and converted to a Nevada corporation with the same name on May 8, 2017. On April 2, 2018, the Company changed its name to The 4LESS Corp. The Corporation had S Corporation status. The Corporation operates as an e-commerce auto and truck parts sales company. As a result of the share exchange, the 4LESS Group, Inc. is now a holding company operating through 4LESS and offers products including exhaust systems, suspension systems, wheels, tires, stereo systems, truck bed covers, and shocks. On December 30, 2019 4LESS changed its name to Auto Parts 4Less, Inc.
Significant Accounting Policies:
The Company’s management selects accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and adopts methods for their application. The application of accounting principles requires the estimating, matching and timing of revenue and expense. The accounting policies used conform to generally accepted accounting principles which have been consistently applied in the preparation of these condensed financial statements.
Basis of Presentation:
The Company prepares its financial statements on the accrual basis of accounting in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim unaudited consolidated financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for complete consolidated financial statements. Certain information and footnote disclosure normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted pursuant to instructions, rules, and regulations prescribed by the SEC. The unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended January 31, 2021 and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on May 14, 2021.
Principles of Consolidation:
The condensed financial statements include the accounts of The 4LESS Group, Inc. as well as The Auto Parts 4Less, Inc., and JBJ Wholesale LLC. All significant inter-company transactions have been eliminated. All amounts are presented in U.S. Dollars unless otherwise stated.
Use of Estimates:
In order to prepare financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, management must make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and determine whether contingent assets and liabilities, if any, are disclosed in the financial statements. The ultimate resolution of issues requiring these estimates and assumptions could differ significantly from resolution currently anticipated by management and on which the financial statements are based. The most significant estimates included in these consolidated financial statements are those associated with the assumptions used to value derivative liabilities.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications have not changed the results of operations of prior periods.
Cash and Cash Equivalents:
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At times, cash balances may be in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance limits. The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair market value.
Inventory Valuation
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Inventories are valued on a first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis. Inventory is comprised of finished goods.
Concentrations
Cost of Goods Sold
For the three months ended April 30, 2021 the Company purchased approximately 54% of its inventory and items available for sale from third parties from three vendors. As of April 30, 2021, the net amount due to the vendors included in accounts payable was $462,991. For the three months ended April 30, 2020, the Company purchased from three vendors approximately 53% of its inventory and items available for sale from third parties. As of April 30, 2020, the net amount due to these vendors included in accounts payable was $434,528. The Company believes there are numerous other suppliers that could be substituted should a supplier become unavailable or non-competitive.
Leases
We adopted ASU No. 2016-02—Leases (Topic 842), as amended, as of February 1, 2019, using the full retrospective approach. The full retrospective approach provides a method for recording existing leases at adoption and in comparative periods. In addition, we elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which among other things, allowed us to carry forward the historical lease classification.
In addition, we elected the hindsight practical expedient to determine the lease term for existing leases. Our election of the hindsight practical expedient resulted in the shortening of lease terms for certain existing leases and the useful lives of corresponding leasehold improvements. In our application of hindsight, we evaluated the performance of the leased stores and the associated markets in relation to our overall real estate strategies, which resulted in the determination that most renewal options would not be reasonably certain in determining the expected lease term.
Adoption of the new standard resulted in the recording of additional net lease assets and lease liabilities of $454,087 and $454,087 respectively, as of February 1, 2019. The standard did not materially impact our consolidated net earnings, retained earnings and had no impact on cash flows.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized when items of income and expense are recognized in the financial statements in different periods than when recognized in the tax return. Deferred tax assets arise when expenses are recognized in the financial statements before the tax returns or when income items are recognized in the tax return prior to the financial statements. Deferred tax assets also arise when operating losses or tax credits are available to offset tax payments due in future years. Deferred tax liabilities arise when income items are recognized in the financial statements before the tax returns or when expenses are recognized in the tax return prior to the financial statements. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“Tax Act”) was signed into law. ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes requires companies to recognize the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities and the retroactive effects of changes in tax laws in the period in which the new legislation is enacted. The Company’s gross deferred tax assets were revalued based on the reduction in the federal statutory tax rate from 35% to 21%. A corresponding offset has been made to the valuation allowance, and any potential other taxes arising due to the Tax Act will result in reductions to the Company’s net operating loss carryforward and valuation allowance. The Company will continue to analyze the Tax Act to assess its full effects on the Company’s financial results, including disclosures, for the Company’s fiscal year ending January 31, 2022, but the Company does not expect the Tax Act to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments:
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, accounts payable, advances and notes payable. The Company considers the carrying value of such amounts in the financial statements to approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments. Derivatives are recorded at fair value at each period end. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the reporting date.
The ASC guidance for fair value measurements and disclosure establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
Level 1 Inputs – Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.
Level 2 Inputs – Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.
Level 3 Inputs – Instruments with primarily unobservable value drivers.
The following table sets forth, by level within the fair value hierarchy, the Company’s financial liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of April 30, 2021:

Related Party Transactions:
The Company has a verbal policy that includes procedures intended to ensure compliance with the related party provisions in common practice for public companies. For purposes of the policy, a “related party transaction” is a transaction in which the Company or any one of its subsidiaries participates and in which a related party has a direct or indirect material interest, other than ordinary course, arms-length transactions of less than 1% of the revenue of the counterparty. Any transaction exceeding the 1% threshold, and any transaction involving consulting, financial advisory, legal or accounting services that could impair a director’s independence, must be approved by the CEO. Any related party transaction in which an executive officer or a Director has a personal interest, or which could present a possible conflict under the Guide to Ethical Conduct, must be approved by Board of Directors, following appropriate disclosure of all material aspects of the transaction.
Derivative Liability
The derivative liabilities are valued as a level 3 input under the fair value hierarchy for valuing financial instruments. The derivatives arise from convertible debt where the debt and accrued interest is convertible into common stock at variable conversion prices and reclassification of equity instrument to liability due to insufficient shares for issuance. As the price of the common stock varies, it triggers a gain or loss based upon the discount to market assuming the debt was converted at the balance sheet date. When evaluating the effect of the issuance of new equity-linked or equity-settled instruments on previously issued instruments, the Company uses first-in, first-out method (“FIFO”) where authorized and unused shares would first be used to satisfy the earliest issued equity-linked instruments.
The fair value of the derivative liability is determined using a lattice model, is re-measured on the Company’s reporting dates, and is affected by changes in inputs to that model including our stock price, historical stock price volatility, the expected term, and both high risk and the risk-free interest rate. The most sensitive inputs to the model are for expected time for the holder to convert or be repaid and the estimated historical volatility of the Company’s common stock. However, because the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock is so high (see Note 10), the sensitivity required to change the liability by 1% as of April 30, 2021 is greater than 25% change in historical volatility as of that date. The other inputs, such as risk free rate, high yield cash rate and stock price all have a sensitivity for a 1% change in the input variable results in a significantly less than 1% change in the calculated derivative liability.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue under ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The core principle of the revenue standard is that a company should recognize revenue when control is transferred over the promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods and services transferred to the customer. The following five steps are applied to achieve that core principle:
Step 1: Identify the contract with the customer
Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract
Step 3: Determine the transaction price
Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract
Step 5: Recognize revenue when the company satisfies a performance obligation
Because the Company’s sales agreements generally have an expected duration of one year or less, the Company has elected the practical expedient in ASC 606-10-50-14(a) to not disclose information about its remaining performance obligations.

The Company’s performance obligations are satisfied at the point in time when products are received by the customer, which is when the customer has title and obtained the significant risks and rewards of ownership. Therefore, the Company’s contracts have a single performance obligation (shipment of product). The Company primarily receives fixed consideration for sales of product. Shipping and handling amounts paid by customers are primarily for online orders, and are included in revenue. Sales tax and other similar taxes are excluded from revenue.
Stock-Based Compensation:
The Company accounts for stock options at fair value. The Company estimates the fair value of each stock option at the grant date by using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and provides for expense recognition over the service period, if any, of the stock option.
Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share:
Basic earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS give effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used to determine the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options and/or warrants. Diluted EPS excluded all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.
Basic loss per common share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is computed in a manner similar to the basic loss per share, except the weighted-average number of shares outstanding is increased to include all common shares, including those with the potential to be issued by virtue of convertible debt and other such convertible instruments. Diluted loss per share contemplates a complete conversion to common shares of all convertible instruments only if they are dilutive in nature with regards to earnings per share.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards:
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) which simplifies goodwill impairment testing by requiring that such periodic testing be performed by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount and recognizing an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. The policy is effective for fiscal years, including interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2019. We adopted on February 1, 2020 and the adoption had no impact.
Fair Value Measurement: In 2018, the FASB issued amended guidance to remove, modify and add disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. This amendment is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted for any removed or modified disclosure requirements. Transition is on a prospective basis for the new and modified disclosures, and on a retrospective basis for disclosures that have been eliminated. The adoption of this guidance on February 1, 2020 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvement to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which is part of the FASB’s simplification initiative to maintain or improve the usefulness of the information provided to the users of financial statements while reducing cost and complexity in financial reporting. This update provides consistency in the accounting for share-based payments to nonemployees with that of employees. The updated guidance had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In addition to the above, the Company has reviewed all other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, and does not believe the future adoption of any such pronouncements will have a material impact on its financial condition or the results of its operations.
There were various other accounting standards and interpretations issued recently, none of which are expected to a have a material impact on our financial position, operations or cash flows.
NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN AND FINANCIAL POSITION
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has an accumulated deficit of $20,949,534 as of April 30, 2021 and has a working capital deficit at April 30, 2021 of $2,700,793. As of April 30, 2021, the Company only had cash and cash equivalents of $1,342,321 and approximately $151,000 of short-term debt in default. The short-term debt agreements provide legal remedies for satisfaction of defaults, none of the lenders to this point have pursued their legal remedies. While the Company has continued to grow its revenues, at this time, the three months ended July 31, 2020 was only the first quarter the Company was able to achieve profitability from operations prior to interest and other expenses. While the Company believes it will continue to build on the results achieved in this quarter, our current liquidity position raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Management’s plan is to raise additional funds in the form of debt or equity in order to (a) grow the business through building up brand awareness and developing and launching a potentially much larger auto parts e-commerce web site, autoparts4less.com while (b) continuing to fund losses until such time as revenues can sustain the Company. However, there is no assurance that management will be successful in being able to continue to obtain additional funding. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
NOTE 3 – PROPERTY
The Company capitalizes all property purchases over $1,000 and depreciates the assets on a straight-line basis over their useful lives of 3 years for computers and 7 years for all other assets. Property consists of the following at April 30, 2021 and January 31, 2021:

Additions to fixed assets for the three months ended April 30, 2021 and were $186,327 with $35,000 paid in cash and $151,327 financed through vehicle loans. Additions to fixed assets were nil for the three months ended April 30, 2020.
Depreciation expense was $10,735 and $6,647 for the three months ended April 30, 2021 and April 30, 2020, respectively.
NOTE 4 – LEASES
We lease certain warehouses and office space. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet; we recognize lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. For lease agreements entered into or reassessed after the adoption of Topic 842, we did not combine lease and non-lease components.
Most leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term from one to 17 years or more. The exercise of lease renewal options is at our sole discretion. The depreciable life of assets and leasehold improvements are limited by the expected lease term, unless there is a transfer of title or purchase option reasonably certain of exercise.
Below is a summary of our lease assets and liabilities at April 30, 2021 and January 31, 2021.

Operating lease cost and rent was $30,479 and $34,079 for the three months ended April 30, 2021 and April 30, 2020, respectively.
NOTE 5 – CUSTOMER DEPOSITS
The Company receives payments from customers on orders prior to shipment. At April 30, 2021 the Company had received $268,932 (January 31, 2021- $188,385) in customer deposits for orders that were unfulfilled at April 30, 2021 and canceled subsequent to year end. The orders were unfulfilled at April 30, 2021 because of supply chain issues due to supplier back-orders because of the Covid-19 pandemic. The deposits were returned to the customers subsequent to April 30, 2021.
NOTE 6 – DEFERRED REVENUE
The Company receives payments from customers on orders prior to shipment. At April 30, 2021 the Company had received $981,830 (January 31, 2021- $687,766) in customer payments for orders that were unfulfilled at April 30, 2021 and delivered subsequent to April 30, 2021. The orders were unfulfilled at April 30, 2021 because of supply chain issues due to supplier back-orders because of the Covid-19 pandemic as well as processing and delivery timing.
NOTE 7 – PPP LOAN
On May 2, 2020 the Company entered into a Paycheck Protection Promissory (PPP) Note Agreement whereby the lender would advance proceeds of $209,447 at a fixed rate of 1% per annum and a May 2, 2022 maturity. The loan is repayable in monthly installments of $8,818 commencing September 2, 2021 and continuing on the second day of every month thereafter until maturity when any remaining principal and interest are due and payable. At April 30, 2021 the loan is classified as $79,362 current and $130,085 long-term. The Company used the proceeds of this loans for working capital and the Company intends to use these proceeds in a manner consistent with obtaining loan forgiveness, which the Company is currently in the process of gathering the required information to file its forgiveness application and expects to have filed its application before the end of its second fiscal quarter.
NOTE 8 – SHORT-TERM AND LONG-TERM DEBT

The Company had accrued interest payable of $222,667 and $240,713 on the notes at April 31, 2021 and January 31, 2021, respectively.
The Company analyzed the conversion option for derivative accounting consideration under ASC 815-15 “Derivatives and Hedging” and determined that some instruments should be classified as liabilities due to there being a variable number of shares to be delivered upon settlement of the above conversion options. The instruments are measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period or termination of the instrument with the change in fair value recorded to earnings. The fair value of the embedded conversion option resulted in a discount to the note on the debt modification date. For the three months ended April 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded amortization of debt discount expense of $128,538 and $578,913, respectively. See more information in Note 10.
During the three months ended April 30, 2021 and April 30, 2020 the Company added $28,000 and nil in penalty interest to the loan, respectively.
As of April 30, 2021, the Company had $151,000 of aggregate debt in default. The agreements provide legal remedies for satisfaction of defaults, none of the lenders to this point have pursued their legal remedies. The Company continues to accrue interest at the listed rates, and plans to seek their conversion or payoff within the next twelve months.
NOTE 10 – DERIVATIVE LIABILITIES
As of April 30, 2021 and January 31, 2021, the Company had derivative liabilities of $148,957 and $213,741, respectively. During the three months ended April 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded a gain of $4,187 and a loss of $74,780, respectively, from the change in the fair value of derivative liabilities. Any liabilities resulting from the warrants outstanding are immaterial.
The derivative liabilities are valued as a level 3 input for valuing financial instruments.
The following table presents changes in Level 3 liabilities measured at fair value for the three months ended April 30, 2021. Both observable and unobservable inputs were used to determine the fair value of positions that the Company has classified within the Level 3 category. Unrealized gains and losses associated with liabilities within the Level 3 category include changes in fair value that were attributable to both observable (e.g., changes in market interest rates) and unobservable (e.g., changes in unobservable long- dated volatilities) inputs.

The derivatives arise from convertible debt where the debt is convertible into common stock at variable conversion prices which are linked to the trading and/or bid prices of the Company’s common stock as traded on the OTC market.
As the price of the common stock varies it triggers a gain or loss based upon the discount to market assuming the debt was converted at the balance sheet date.
The fair value of the derivative liability is determined using the lattice model, is re-measured on the Company’s reporting dates, and is affected by changes in inputs to that model including our stock price, expected stock price volatility, the expected term, and the risk-free interest rate. A summary of the weighted average (in aggregate) significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 inputs) used in measuring the Company’s warrant liabilities and embedded conversion feature that are categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy as of April 30, 2021 is as follows:

Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheetsheets of RX Scripted,The 4 Less Group, Inc. (the “Company”) as of January 31, 20082021 and 2020, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit)deficit, and cash flows for each of the years in the two years ended January 31, 2008 and 20072021, and the period from December 30, 2004 (inception)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 January 31, 2008. 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two years ended January 31, 2021, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Explanatory Paragraph – Going Concern
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As more fully explained in Note 2, which includes management’s plans in regards to this uncertainty, the Company has a negative working capital of $4.3 million and an accumulated deficit of $20.4 million and stockholders’ deficit of $6.1 million as of and for the year ended January 31, 2021, and therefore there is substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.

Critical Audit Matter Description – Embedded Conversion Feature
The Company has numerous notes payable from prior years which were settled or converted, and several new notes in the current year with conversions rates that are determined by the closing bid price on the day preceding the conversion date. This and other factors require the embedded conversion feature to be bifurcated and evaluated at each reporting period. Calculations and accounting for the notes payable and embedded conversion features require management’s judgments related to initial and subsequent recognition of the debt and related conversions features, use of a valuation model, and determination of the appropriate inputs used in the selected valuation model.
Critical Audit Matter Determination
The embedded conversion features and resulting derivative liability is a highly complex area of accounting with significant impact on the liabilities, additional paid in capital and statement of operations of the Company. It takes a high degree of training to understand and recognize the accounting implications of the conversion features and to understand the assumptions and impact of the specific assumptions on the valuation model used in the calculation of the derivative liability.
Critical Audit Matter Audit Procedures
Our audit procedures related to evaluating the Company’s accounting for the convertible note payables with embedded derivatives, warrants issued with the debt, accrued interest and the related derivative liability were as follows:
- | We read the various instruments, identified the embedded conversion feature, confirmed the amount of the outstanding debt, and recalculated the accrued interest. | |
- | We assessed the credentials and reputation of the outside firm retained by the Company who performed the calculation of the derivative liabilities. | |
- | We reviewed the assumptions used to calculate the derivative liabilities at the balance sheet date and various conversion and settlement dates and the related accounting entries. | |
- | We performed independent calculations on a test basis of specific derivatives to evaluate the model used in calculating the derivatives at various measurement dates. |
Critical Audit Matter Relevant Financial Statement Disclosures
- | We read the Company’s disclosures related to the derivative liabilities and changes during the year as a result of mark to market, conversion of debt and settlement of debt activity to ensure the changes were properly accounted for and fully disclosed in the financial statements. |
Critical Audit Matter Description – Going Concern
As discussed in both Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements and above, the Company has incurred significant losses since inception, and has an accumulated deficit of approximately $20.4 million and a working deficit of $4.3 million as of January 31, 20082021.
Critical Audit Matter Determination
The following items were considered in determining that a going concern was a critical audit matter.
- | Significant losses and negative working capital and lack of liquidity | |
- | We also took into consideration the Company’s need to raise additional debt and equity financing over the next twelve months |

THE 4LESS GROUP, INC.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
January 31, 2021 and 2020
Note 1 – Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Business – The 4LESS Group, Inc., (the “Company”), was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on December 5, 2007. The Company, under the name MedCareers Group, Inc. (“MCGI” ) formally operated a website for nurses, nursing schools and nurses’ organizations designed for better communication between nurses and the nursing profession.
On November 29, 2018, the Company entered into a transaction (the “Share Exchange”), pursuant to which the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding equity securities of The 4LESS Corp. (“4LESS”), in exchange for the issuance of (i) nineteen thousand (19,000) shares of Series B Preferred Stock, (ii) six thousand seven hundred fifty (6,750) shares of Series C Preferred Stock, and (iii) 870 shares of Series D Preferred Stock. The Series C Preferred Shares have a right to convert into common stock of the Company by multiplying the number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock by 2.63 on the conversion date. The Share Exchange closed on November 29, 2018. As a result of the Share Exchange, the former shareholders of 4LESS became the controlling shareholders of the Company. The Share Exchange was accounted for as a reverse takeover/recapitalization effected by a share exchange, wherein 4LESS is considered the acquirer for accounting and financial reporting purposes. The capital, share price, and earnings per share amount in these consolidated financial statements for the period fromprior to the reverse merger were restated to reflect the recapitalization in accordance with the shares issued as a result of the reverse merger except otherwise noted.
4LESS was formed as Vegas Suspension & Offroad, LLC on October 24, 2013 as a Nevada limited liability company and converted to a Nevada corporation with the same name on May 8, 2017. On April 2, 2018, the Company changed its name to The 4LESS Corp. The Corporation had S Corporation status. The Corporation operates as an e-commerce auto and truck parts sales company. As a result of the share exchange, the Company is now a holding company operating through 4LESS and offers products including exhaust systems, suspension systems, wheels, tires, stereo systems, truck bed covers, and shocks. On December 30, 2004 (inception)2019 4LESS changed its name to January 31, 2008Auto Parts 4Less, Inc.
Significant Accounting Policies
The Company’s management selects accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and adopts methods for their application. The application of accounting principles requires the estimating, matching and timing of revenue and expense. The accounting policies used conform to generally accepted accounting principles which have been consistently applied in the preparation of these financial statements.
Basis of Presentation
The Company prepares its financial statements on the accrual basis of accounting in conformity with U.S. GAAP.
Principles of Consolidation
The financial statements include the accounts of The 4LESS Group, Inc. as well as Auto Parts 4Less, Inc. (formerly The 4LESS Corp.) and JBJ Wholesale LLC. All significant inter-company transactions have been eliminated. All amounts are presented in U.S. Dollars unless otherwise stated.
Use of Estimates
In order to prepare financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, management must make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and determine whether contingent assets and liabilities, if any, are disclosed in the financial statements. The ultimate resolution of America.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications have not changed the results of operations of prior periods.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The accompanyingCompany considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At times, cash balances may be in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance limits. The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair market value.
Inventory Valuation
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Inventories are valued on a first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis. Inventory is comprised of finished goods.
Concentrations
Cost of Goods Sold
For the year ended January 31, 2021 the Company purchased approximately 57% of its inventory and items available for sale from third parties from three vendors. As of January 31, 2021, the net amount due to the vendors included in accounts payable was $599,072. For the year ended January 31, 2020, the Company purchased approximately 59% of its inventory and items available for sale from third parties from three third-party vendors. As of January 31, 2020, the net amount due to these vendors included in accounts payable was $369,592. The Company believes there are numerous other suppliers that could be substituted should the supplier become unavailable or non-competitive.
Leases
We adopted ASU No. 2016-02—Leases (Topic 842), as amended, as of February 1, 2019, using the full retrospective approach. The full retrospective approach provides a method for recording existing leases at adoption and in comparative periods. In addition, we elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which among other things, allowed us to carry forward the historical lease classification.
In addition, we elected the hindsight practical expedient to determine the lease term for existing leases. Our election of the hindsight practical expedient resulted in the shortening of lease terms for certain existing leases and the useful lives of corresponding leasehold improvements. In our application of hindsight, we evaluated the performance of the leased stores and the associated markets in relation to our overall real estate strategies, which resulted in the determination that most renewal options would not be reasonably certain in determining the expected lease term.
Adoption of the new standard resulted in the recording of additional net lease assets and lease liabilities of $454,087 and $454,087 respectively, as of February 1, 2019. The standard did not materially impact our consolidated net earnings, retained earnings and had no impact on cash flows
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized when items of income and expense are recognized in the financial statements in different periods than when recognized in the tax return. Deferred tax assets arise when expenses are recognized in the financial statements before the tax returns or when income items are recognized in the tax return prior to the financial statements. Deferred tax assets also arise when operating losses or tax credits are available to offset tax payments due in future years. Deferred tax liabilities arise when income items are recognized in the financial statements before the tax returns or when expenses are recognized in the tax return prior to the financial statements. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“Tax Act”) was signed into law. ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes requires companies to recognize the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities and the retroactive effects of changes in tax laws in the period in which the new legislation is enacted. The Company’s gross deferred tax assets were revalued based on the reduction in the federal statutory tax rate from 35% to 21%. A corresponding offset has been made to the valuation allowance, and any potential other taxes arising due to the Tax Act will result in reductions to the Company’s net operating loss carryforward and valuation allowance. The Company will continue to analyze the Tax Act to assess its full effects on the Company’s financial results, including disclosures, for the Company’s fiscal year ending January 31, 2021, but the Company does not expect the Tax Act to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, accounts payable, advances and notes payable. The Company considers the carrying value of such amounts in the financial statements to approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments. Derivatives are recorded at fair value at each period end. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the reporting date.
The ASC guidance for fair value measurements and disclosure establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
Level 1 Inputs – Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.
Level 2 Inputs – Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.
Level 3 Inputs – Instruments with primarily unobservable value drivers.
As of January 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company’s derivative liabilities were measured at fair value using Level 3 inputs. See Note 10.
The following table sets forth, by level within the fair value hierarchy, the Company’s financial liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of January 31, 2021and January 31, 2020:

Related Party Transactions
The Company has a verbal policy that includes procedures intended to ensure compliance with the related party provisions in common practice for public companies. For purposes of the policy, a “related party transaction” is a transaction in which the Company or any one of its subsidiaries participates and in which a related party has a direct or indirect material interest, other than ordinary course, arms-length transactions of less than 1% of the revenue of the counterparty. Any transaction exceeding the 1% threshold, and any transaction involving consulting, financial advisory, legal or accounting services that could impair a director’s independence, must be approved by the CEO. Any related party transaction in which an executive officer or a Director has a personal interest, or which could present a possible conflict under the Guide to Ethical Conduct, must be approved by Board of Directors, following appropriate disclosure of all material aspects of the transaction.
Derivative Liability
The derivative liabilities are valued as a level 3 input under the fair value hierarchy for valuing financial instruments. The derivatives arise from convertible debt where the debt and accrued interest is convertible into common stock at variable conversion prices and reclassification of equity instrument to liability due to insufficient shares for issuance. As the price of the common stock varies, it triggers a gain or loss based upon the discount to market assuming the debt was converted at the balance sheet date. When evaluating the effect of the issuance of new equity-linked or equity-settled instruments on previously issued instruments, the Company uses first-in, first-out method (“FIFO”) where authorized and unused shares would first be used to satisfy the earliest issued equity-linked instruments.
The fair value of the derivative liability is determined using a lattice model, is re-measured on the Company’s reporting dates, and is affected by changes in inputs to that model including our stock price, historical stock price volatility, the expected term, and both high risk and the risk-free interest rate. The most sensitive inputs to the model are for expected time for the holder to convert or be repaid and the estimated historical volatility of the Company’s common stock. However, because the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock is so high (see Note 10), the sensitivity required to change the liability by 1% as of January 31, 2021 is greater than 25% change in historical volatility as of that date. The other inputs, such as risk free rate, high yield cash rate and stock price all have a sensitivity for a 1% change in the input variable results in a significantly less than 1% change in the calculated derivative liability.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue under ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The core principle of the revenue standard is that a company should recognize revenue when control is transferred over the promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods and services transferred to the customer. The following five steps are applied to achieve that core principle:
Step 1: Identify the contract with the customer
Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract
Step 3: Determine the transaction price
Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract
Step 5: Recognize revenue when the company satisfies a performance obligation
Because the Company’s sales agreements generally have an expected duration of one year or less, the Company has elected the practical expedient in ASC 606-10-50-14(a) to not disclose information about its remaining performance obligations.

The Company’s performance obligations are satisfied at the point in time when products are received by the customer, which is when the customer has title and obtained the significant risks and rewards of ownership. Therefore, the Company’s contracts have a single performance obligation (shipment of product). The Company primarily receives fixed consideration for sales of product. Shipping and handling amounts paid by customers are primarily for online orders and are included in revenue. Sales tax and other similar taxes are excluded from revenue.
Revenue is recorded net of provisions for discounts and promotion allowances, which are typically agreed to upfront with the customer and do not represent variable consideration. Discounts and promotional allowances vary the consideration the Company is entitled to in exchange for the sale of products to customers. The Company recognizes these discounts and promotional allowances in the same period that the revenue is recognized for products sales to customers. The amount of revenue recognized represents the amount that will not be subject to a significant future reversal of revenue. The customer pays the Company by credit card prior to delivery.
The Company offers a 30 day satisfaction guaranteed return policy however the customer must pay for the return shipment. The return must be previously authorized, cannot be either damaged or previously installed and must be in saleable condition. In the Company’s experience this amount is immaterial and therefore no provision has been recorded on the Company’s books. Any defective merchandise falls under the manufacturer’s limited warranty and is subject to the manufacturer’s inspection. The manufacturer has the option to repair or replace the item.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock options at fair value. The Company estimates the fair value of each stock option at the grant date by using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and provides for expense recognition over the service period, if any, of the stock option.
Earnings (Loss) per Common Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS give effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used to determine the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options and/or warrants. Diluted EPS excluded all dilutive potential shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.
Basic loss per common share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is computed in a manner similar to the basic loss per share, except the weighted-average number of shares outstanding is increased to include all common shares, including those with the potential to be issued by virtue of convertible debt and other such convertible instruments. Diluted loss per share contemplates a complete conversion to common shares of all convertible instruments only if they are dilutive in nature with regards to earnings per share.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) which simplifies goodwill impairment testing by requiring that such periodic testing be performed by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount and recognizing an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. The policy is effective for fiscal years, including interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2019. We adopted on February 1, 2020 and the adoption had no impact.
Fair Value Measurement: In 2018, the FASB issued amended guidance to remove, modify and add disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. This amendment is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted for any removed or modified disclosure requirements. Transition is on a prospective basis for the new and modified disclosures, and on a retrospective basis for disclosures that have been eliminated. The adoption of this guidance on February 1, 2020 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvement to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which is part of the FASB’s simplification initiative to maintain or improve the usefulness of the information provided to the users of financial statements while reducing cost and complexity in financial reporting. This update provides consistency in the accounting for share-based payments to nonemployees with that of employees. The updated guidance had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In addition to the above, the Company has reviewed all other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, and does not believe the future adoption of any such pronouncements will have a material impact on its financial condition or the results of its operations.
There were various other accounting standards and interpretations issued recently, none of which are expected to a have a material impact on our financial position, operations or cash flows.
NOTE 2 – GOING CONCERN AND FINANCIAL POSITION
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that RX Scripted, Inc.on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has an accumulated deficit of $20,381,977 as of January 31, 2021 and has a working capital deficit at January 31, 2021 of $4,344,055. As of January 31, 2021, the Company only had cash and cash equivalents of $277,664 and approximately $151,000 of short-term debt in default. The short-term debt agreements provide legal remedies for satisfaction of defaults, none of the lenders to this point have pursued their legal remedies. While the Company has continued to grow its revenues, at this time, the three months ended July 31, 2020 was only the first quarter the Company was able to achieve profitability from operations prior to interest and other expenses. While the Company believes it will continue as a going concern. As discussedto build on the results achieved in Note 2 to the financial statements, RX Scripted has operating losses since inception whichthat quarter, our current liquidity position raises substantial doubt about itsthe Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Management’s plans regarding those matters also are describedplan is to raise additional funds in Note 2.the form of debt or equity in order to continue to fund losses until such time as revenues can sustain the Company. However, there is no assurance that management will be successful in being able to continue to obtain additional funding. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that maymight result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
NOTE 3 – PROPERTY
The Company capitalizes all property purchases over $1,000 and depreciates the assets on a straight-line basis over their useful lives of 3 years for computers and 7 years for all other assets. Property consists of the following at January 31, 2021 and 2020:

Depreciation expense was $25,196 and $34,832 for the twelve months ended January 31, 2021 and January 2020, respectively.
NOTE 4 – LEASES
We lease certain warehouses, vehicles and office space. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet; we recognize lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. For lease agreements entered into or reassessed after the adoption of Topic 842, we did not combine lease and non-lease components.
Most leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term from one to 17 years or more. The exercise of lease renewal options is at our sole discretion. The depreciable life of assets and leasehold improvements are limited by the expected lease term, unless there is a transfer of title or purchase option reasonably certain of exercise.
Below is a summary of our lease assets and liabilities at January 31, 2021 and January 31, 2020.

Note: As most of our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate of 8% based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. We compare against loans we obtain to acquire physical assets and not loans we obtain for financing. The loans we obtain for financing are generally at significantly higher rates and we believe that physical space or vehicle rental agreements are in line with physical asset financing agreements. CAM charges were not included in operating lease expense and were expensed in general and administrative expenses as incurred.
Effective February 29 ,2020 the Company and landlord terminated the September 2019 lease with an annual rent of $15,480, a 3 year term an 1 year renewal. There were no costs associated with the termination. The Company eliminated the operating lease asset and operating lease liability at termination which was $45,032. (see Note 13)
Operating lease cost was $121,917 and $117,841 for both the twelve months ended January 31, 2021 and January 31, 2020, respectively.

The orders were unfulfilled at January 31, 2021 because of supply chain issues due to supplier back-orders because of the Covid-19 pandemic. The deposits were returned to the customers subsequent to January 31, 2021.
NOTE 6 – DEFERRED REVENUE

The loan is repayable in monthly instalments of $8,818 commencing September 2, 2021 and continuing on the second day of every month thereafter until maturity when any remaining principal and interest are due and payable. At January 31, 2021 the loan is classified as $43,294 current and $166,153 long-term.

In addition, the Conversion Price shall be permanently redefined to equal the lesser of (a) $0.00001 or (b) 50% of the lowest traded price during the twenty five (25) consecutive Trading Days immediately preceding the applicable Conversion Date on which the Holder elects to convert all or part of this Note, subject to adjustment as provided in this Note. If at any time while this Note is outstanding, an Event of Default (as defined herein) occurs, then an additional discount of 15% shall be factored into the Variable Conversion Price until this Note is no longer outstanding (resulting in a discount rate of 65% assuming no other adjustments are triggered hereunder). These above contingencies have not occurred.
(ii) In the event the Company experiences a DTC ” Chill” on its shares, the conversion price shall be decreased to 40% instead of 50% while that “Chill” is in effect. If the Company fails to maintain the share reserve at the 4x discount of the note 60 days after the issuance of the note, the conversion discount shall be increased by 10%.
(iii) The share purchase agreements ancillary to the convertible note agreements do not allow the lender to engage in short sales.
(iv) If the Company becomes delinquent or continues its delinquency in its periodic filings with the SEC after the 6-months anniversary of the note, then the holder is entitled to use the lowest closing bid price during the delinquency period as a base price for the conversion.
(v) In the event the Company experiences a DTC ” Chill” on its shares, the conversion price shall be decreased to 42% instead of 52% while that “Chill” is in effect.
(vi) If the Company fails to maintain the share reserve at the 4x discount of the note 60 days after the issuance of the note, the conversion discount shall be increased by 10%.
(vii) If the Company fails to maintain the share reserve at the 3x discount of the note 60 days after the issuance of the note, the conversion discount shall be increased by 10%.
(viii) If at any time while this Note is outstanding, an event of default occurs, then an additional discount of 15% shall be factored into the Variable Conversion Price until this Note is no longer outstanding (resulting in a discount rate of 65% assuming no other adjustments are triggered hereunder). If at any time while this Note is outstanding, the Borrower’s Common Stock are not deliverable via DWAC, an additional 10% discount shall be factored into the Variable Conversion Price until this Note is no longer outstanding.
(ix) If the Company fails to maintain its status as “DTC Eligible” for any reason, or, if the effective Conversion Price is less than $0.01 at any time, the Principal Amount of the Note shall increase by ten thousand dollars ($10,000). In addition, the Conversion price shall be permanently redefined to equal the lesser of (a) $0.001 or (b) 50% of the lowest traded price during the twenty five (25) consecutive Trading Days immediately preceding the applicable Conversion Date on which the Holder elects to convert all or part of this Note, subject to adjustment as provided in this Note.
(x) In the event that shares of the Borrower’s Common Stock are not deliverable via DWAC following the conversion of any amount hereunder, an additional ten percent (10%) discount shall be factored into the Variable Conversion Price until this Note is no longer outstanding (resulting in a discount rate of 55% assuming no other adjustments are triggered hereunder). Additionally, if the Borrower fails to comply with the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act (including but not limited to becoming late or delinquent in its filings, even if the Borrower subsequently cures such delinquency) at any time while after the Issue Date, and/or the Borrower shall cease to be subject to the reporting requirements of the exchange Act, an additional fifteen percent (15%) discount shall be factored into the Variable Conversion Price until this Note is no longer outstanding (resulting in a discount rate of 60% assuming no other adjustments are triggered hereunder).
(xi) If the Borrower’s Common stock is chilled for deposit at DTC, becomes chilled at any point while this Note remains outstanding or deposit or other additional fees are payable due to a Yield Sign, Stop Sign or other trading restrictions, or if the closing price at any time falls below $0.01 (as appropriately and equitably adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, stock contributions and similar events), then an additional 15% discount will be attributed to the Conversion Price for any and all Conversions submitted thereafter.

The derivatives arise from convertible debt where the debt is convertible into common stock at variable conversion prices which are linked to the trading and/or bid prices of the Company’s common stock as traded on the OTC market.
As the price of the common stock varies it triggers a gain or loss based upon the discount to market assuming the debt was converted at the balance sheet date.
The fair value of the derivative liability is determined using the lattice model, is re-measured on the Company’s reporting dates, and is affected by changes in inputs to that model including our stock price, expected stock price volatility, the expected term, and the risk-free interest rate. A summary of the weighted average (in aggregate) significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 inputs) used in measuring the Company’s warrant liabilities and embedded conversion feature that are categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy as of January 31, 2021 is as follows:

NOTE 12 – INCOME TAXES
The Company has adopted ASC 740-10, “Income Taxes”, which requires the use of the liability method in the computation of income tax expense and the Periodcurrent and deferred income taxes payable (deferred tax liability) or benefit (deferred tax asset). Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
The income tax expense (benefit) consisted of the following for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2021 and 2020:
January 31, 2021 | January 31, 2020 | |||||||
Total current | $ | — | $ | — | ||||
Total deferred | — | — | ||||||
$ | — | $ | — | |||||
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.
The following is a reconciliation of the expected statutory federal income tax provision to the actual income tax benefit for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2021(in thousands):

For the year ended January 31, 2021, the expected tax benefit is calculated at the 2019 statutory rate of 21%.
For the year ended January 31, 2020, the expected tax benefit, temporary timing differences and long-term timing differences are calculated at the 21% statutory rate.
Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities were as follows for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2021 and 2020:

The Company has incurred losses since inception, therefore, the Company has no federal tax liability. Additionally there are limitations imposed by certain transactions which are deemed to be ownership changes which occurred in the Company on November 29, 2018. The net deferred tax asset generated by the loss carryforward has been fully reserved. The cumulative net operating loss carryforward was approximately $2,375,000 at January 31, 2021, $2,375,000 million at January 31, 2020that is available for carryforward for federal income tax purposes and begin to expire in 2039.
Although the Company has tax loss carry-forwards, there is uncertainty as to utilization prior to their expiration. Accordingly, the future income tax asset amounts have been fully reserved by a valuation allowance.
The Company has maintained a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets at January 31, 2021 and 2020. A valuation allowance is required to be recorded when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the net deferred tax assets will not be realized. Since the Company cannot be assured of realizing the net deferred tax asset, a full valuation allowance has been provided.
The Company does not have any uncertain tax positions at January 31, 2021 and 2020 that would affect its effective tax rate. The Company does not anticipate a significant change in the amount of unrecognized tax benefits over the next twelve months. Because the Company is in a loss carryforward position, the Company is generally subject to US federal and state income tax examinations by tax authorities for all years for which a loss carryforward is available. If and when applicable, the Company will recognize interest and penalties as part of income tax expense.
During the fiscal year ended January 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized no amounts related to tax interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions. The Company is subject to taxation in the United States and various state jurisdictions. The Company currently has no years under examination by any jurisdiction.
On November 29, 2018, the Company consummated a share exchange agreement whereby there was a change of control and any net operating losses up to the date of the transaction were forfeited.
The Company’s tax returns for the years ended January 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019 are open for examination under Federal statute of limitations.

A. 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 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement.
iii. To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability 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, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or Prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or Prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or Prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
B. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act 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 SEC 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.
C. That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities:
The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
i. Any preliminary Prospectus or Prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 (Section 230.424 of this chapter);
ii. Any free writing Prospectus relating to the offering prepared or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;
II-3
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.
That for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act 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, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
“Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”) may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the issuer has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.”
In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the issuer of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the issuer 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 issuer 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.
