EXPLANATORY NOTE

This registration statement contains two prospectuses, as set forth below.

•        Public Offering Prospectus.    A prospectus to be used for the initial public offering of class B common stock through the underwriter named on the cover page of this prospectus, which we refer to as the Public Offering Prospectus.

•        The Resale Prospectus.    A prospectus to be used for the resale by selling stockholders of 1,741,036 shares of class B common stock, which we refer to as the Resale Prospectus, which we have filed on behalf of the selling stockholders pursuant to a verbal understanding with the selling stockholders that we would include their shares in the Resale Prospectus.

The initial public offering and resale offering will be concurrent in that the selling stockholders may commence selling efforts at any time after the registration statement is declared effective. However, the closing of the initial public offering will not occur until two (2) trading days after trading on NYSE American commences, which is expected to occur on the trading day following the date that the registration statement is declared effective. Please see “Risk Factors — Risks Related to this Offering and Ownership of Our Common Stock” for certain risks related to the concurrent registration of shares pursuant to the Resale Prospectus.

The Resale Prospectus is substantively identical to the Public Offering Prospectus, except for the following principal points:

•        they contain different front and back covers;

•        they contain different Offering sections in the Prospectus Summary;

•        they contain different Use of Proceeds sections;

•        the Capitalization and Dilution sections are deleted from the Resale Prospectus;

•        a Selling Stockholders section is included in the Resale Prospectus;

•        the Underwriting section from the Public Offering Prospectus is deleted from the Resale Prospectus and a Plan of Distribution section is inserted in its place; and

•        the Legal Matters section in the Resale Prospectus deletes the reference to counsel for the underwriter.

The registrant has included in this registration statement a set of alternate pages after the back cover page of the Public Offering Prospectus, which we refer to as the Alternate Pages, to reflect the foregoing differences in the Resale Prospectus as compared to the Public Offering Prospectus. The Public Offering Prospectus will exclude the Alternate Pages and will be used for the public offering by the Registrant. The Resale Prospectus will be substantively identical to the Public Offering Prospectus except for the addition or substitution of the Alternate Pages and will be used for the resale offering by the selling stockholders.

The information in this prospectus is not complete and may be changed. These securities may not be sold until the registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission is effective. This prospectus is not an offer to sell these securities and it is not soliciting offers to buy these securities in any state where the offer or sale is not permitted.

Some statements in this prospectus, including statements in the following risk factors, constitute forward-looking statements. Please refer to the section titled “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements”.

Risks Related to Our Business and Industry

We are an early-stage company with a limited operating history.

We are an early, startup stage company with a limited history upon which you can evaluate our business and prospects. Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks encountered by companies in the early stages of development in highly competitive markets. You should consider the frequency with which early-stage businesses encounter unforeseen expenses, difficulties, complications, delays and other adverse factors. These risks are described in more detail below.

We have incurred losses since our inception, and we may not be able to manage our business on a profitable basis.

We have generated losses since inception and have relied on cash on hand, sales of securities, external bank lines of credit, and issuance of third-party and related party debt to support our operations. For the year ended June 30, 2023, we generated an operating loss of $5,050,410 and a net loss of $5,343,271. The revenue and income potential of our business and market are unproven. This makes an evaluation of our company and its prospects difficult and highly speculative. There can be no assurances that we will be able to develop products or services on a timely and cost effective basis, that will be able to generate any increase in revenues, that we will have adequate financing or resources to continue operating our business and to provide products to customers, that we will earn a profit, that we can raise sufficient capital to support operations by attaining profitability, or that we can satisfy future liabilities.

We will require additional financing to accomplish our business strategy.

We require substantial working capital to fund our business development plans, and we expect to experience significant negative cash flow from operations. Depending upon the sales volume generated by our business during that time, we also anticipate the possibility of having to raise additional funds in order to achieve our plans and accomplish our immediate and longer-term business strategy. These additional funds likely will be raised through the issuance of our securities in debt and/or equity financings. If we are unable to raise these additional funds on terms acceptable to us, we will be required to limit our expenditures for continuing our product development activities and expanding our sales and marketing operations, reduce our work force, or find alternatives to fund our business on terms that are not as favorable to us. Any such actions would impair our product development and expansion plans, reduce potential revenues, increase operating losses, and adversely affect the value of our company.

We cannot accurately predict future revenues or profitability in the emerging market for aqueous ozone technology.

The market for alternative green cleaning supplies is rapidly evolving. As is typical of a rapidly evolving industry, demand, and market acceptance for recently introduced products are subject to a high level of uncertainty. Moreover, since the market for our products is evolving, it is difficult to predict the future growth rate, if any, and size of this market. Because of our limited operating history and the emerging nature of the markets in which we compete, we are unable to accurately forecast our revenues or our profitability. The market for our products and the long-term acceptance of our products are uncertain, and our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel with industry expertise, particularly sales and marketing personnel, is uncertain. To the extent we are unsuccessful in increasing revenues, we may be required to appropriately adjust spending to compensate for any unexpected revenue shortfall, or to reduce our operating expenses, causing us to forego potential revenue generating activities, either of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

We may face significant challenges in obtaining market acceptance of our products, which could adversely affect our potential sales and revenues.

We do not yet have an established market or customer base for our products. Acceptance of our products in the marketplace by both potential users and potential purchasers, including hospitals, schools, universities, commercial facilities, transportation systems and other healthcare and non-healthcare providers, is uncertain, and our failure to achieve sufficient market acceptance will significantly limit our ability to generate revenue and be profitable. Market acceptance will require substantial marketing efforts and the expenditure of significant funds by us to inform hospitals, schools, universities, commercial facilities, transportation systems, residential spaces and other health care and non-healthcare providers of the benefits of using our products. We may encounter significant clinical and market resistance to our products, and our products may never achieve market acceptance. We may not be able to build key relationships with physicians, education administrators, and government agencies. Product orders may be cancelled or customers that are beginning to use our products may cease their use of our products and customers expected to begin using our products may not do so.

Factors that may affect our ability to achieve acceptance of our products in the marketplace include, but are not limited, to whether:

•        such products will work effectively;

•        the products are cost-effective for our customers;

•        we are able to demonstrate product safety, efficacy, and cost-effectiveness of the products; and

•        we are able to maintain customer relationships and acceptance.

Acceptance of our products in the marketplace is also uncertain, and our failure to achieve sufficient market acceptance and any inability to sell such products at competitive prices will limit our ability to generate revenue and be profitable. Our products and technologies may not achieve expected reliability, performance, and endurance standards. Our products and technologies may also not achieve market acceptance, including among hospitals, or may not be deemed suitable for other commercial applications.

If we do not build brand awareness and brand loyalty, our business may suffer.

Due in part to the substantial resources available to many of our competitors providing aqueous ozone technology, our opportunity to achieve and maintain a significant market share may be limited. The importance of brand recognition will increase as competition in our market increases. Successfully promoting and positioning of our brand will depend largely on the effectiveness of our marketing efforts, our ability to offer reliable and desirable products at competitive rates, and customer perceptions of the value of our products. If our planned marketing efforts are ineffective or if customer perceptions change regarding the effectiveness of our cleaning machines and products, we may need to increase our financial commitment to creating and maintaining brand awareness and loyalty among customers, which could divert financial and management resources from other aspects of our business or cause our operating expenses to increase disproportionately to our revenues. This would cause our business and operating results to suffer.

If we are unable to maintain, train and build an effective international sales and marketing infrastructure, we will not be able to commercialize and grow our brand successfully.

As we grow, we may not be able to secure sales personnel or organizations that are adequate in number or expertise to successfully market and sell our brand and products on a global scale. We presently rely on individual independent sales representatives and an in-house sales team to market and sell our products. If we are unable to expand our sales and marketing capability, train our sales force effectively or provide any other capabilities necessary to commercialize our brand internationally, we will need to contract with third parties to market and sell our brand, which will be an additional expense. If we are unable to establish and maintain compliant and adequate sales and marketing capabilities, we may not be able to increase our revenue, may generate increased expenses, and may not continue to be profitable.

We operate in new and rapidly changing markets, which makes it difficult to evaluate our future prospects and may increase the risk that we will not be successful.

The market for cleaning products is a rapidly changing market, characterized by changing technologies, intense price competition, the introduction of new competitors and brand name cleaning products, evolving industry standards, changing and diverse regulatory environments, frequent new service announcements, and changing user demands and behaviors. Our inability to anticipate these changes and adapt our business, platform, and offerings could undermine our business

strategy. Our business strategy and projections, including those related to our revenue growth and profitability, rely on a number of assumptions about the market for cleaning products, including the size and projected growth of the cleaning product markets over the next several years. Some or all of these assumptions may be incorrect. Our growth strategy is dependent, in part, on our ability to timely and effectively launch new products and services, the development of which is uncertain, complex, and costly. In addition, we may be unable successfully and efficiently to address advancements in distribution technology, marketing and pricing strategies and content breadth and availability in certain or all of these markets, which could materially and adversely affect our growth prospects and results of operations.

The limited history of some of the markets in which we operate makes it difficult to effectively assess our future prospects, and our business and prospects should be considered in light of the risks and difficulties we may encounter in these evolving markets. We cannot accurately predict whether our products and services will achieve significant acceptance by potential users in significantly larger numbers or at the same or higher price points than at present. Our historic growth rates should therefore not be relied upon as an indication of future growth, financial condition, or results of operations.

Our major customers account for a significant portion of our revenue and the loss of any major customer could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

For the years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, two customers, Pro-Link and Sanzonate, accounted for 66% and 62% of revenue, respectively, and we had one customer that accounted for 43% of all accounts receivable at June 30, 2023, and two customers that accounted for 32% of the predecessor’s total accounts receivable. For the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, these customers accounted for 28% and 61% of revenue, respectively, and they accounted for 6% and 28% of our total accounts receivable at September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Presently, we do not have a long-term contract Pro-Link or Sanzonate, and the loss of any major customer could have a material adverse effect on the results of operations. In addition, our results of operations and ability to service our debt obligations would be impacted negatively to the extent that any major customer is unable to make payments to us or does not make timely payments on outstanding accounts receivable.

We have historically depended on a limited number of third parties to supply key raw materials to us and the failure to obtain a sufficient supply of these raw materials in a timely fashion and at reasonable costs could significantly delay our delivery of products.

Since our company’s inception, we have historically purchased certain key raw materials, such as chassis, generators, vacuum switches, and head sockets and other components from a limited number of suppliers. We purchased raw materials on the basis of purchase orders. In the absence of firm and long-term contracts, we may not be able to obtain a sufficient supply of these raw materials from our existing suppliers or alternates in a timely fashion or at a reasonable cost. Although we have not experienced any supply chain disruptions in the past, we cannot guarantee that we will not experience any disruptions in the future. If we fail to secure a sufficient supply of key raw materials in a timely fashion, it would result in a significant delay in our delivery of products. Furthermore, failure to obtain a sufficient supply of these raw materials at a reasonable cost could also harm our revenue and gross profit margins.

We depend on third-party delivery services, for both inbound and outbound shipping, to deliver our products to our distribution centers and subsequently to our customers on a timely and consistent basis, and any deterioration in our relationship with any one of these third parties or increases in the fees that they charge could harm our reputation and adversely affect our business and financial condition.

We rely on third parties for the shipment of our products, both inbound and outbound shipping logistics, and we cannot be sure that these relationships will continue on terms favorable to us, or at all. Shipping costs have increased from time to time, and may continue to increase, and we may not be able to pass these costs directly to our customers.

Any increased shipping costs could harm our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations by increasing our costs of doing business and reducing gross margins which could negatively affect our operating results. In addition, we utilize a variety of shipping methods for both inbound and outbound logistics. For inbound logistics, we rely on trucking and ocean carriers and any increases in fees that they charge could adversely affect our business and financial condition. For outbound logistics, we rely on “Less-than-Truckload” and parcel freight based upon the product and quantities being shipped and customer delivery requirements. These outbound freight costs have increased on a year-over-year basis and may continue to increase in the future. We also ship a number of oversized products which may trigger additional shipping costs by third-party delivery services. Any increases in fees or any increased use of “Less-than-Truckload” shipping would increase our shipping costs which could negatively affect our operating results.

In addition, if our relationships with these third parties are terminated or impaired, or if these third parties are unable to deliver products for us, whether due to labor shortage, slow down or stoppage, deteriorating financial or business condition, responses to terrorist attacks or for any other reason, we would be required to use alternative carriers for the shipment of products to our customers. Changing carriers could have a negative effect on our business and operating results due to reduced visibility of order status and package tracking and delays in order processing and product delivery, and we may be unable to engage alternative carriers on a timely basis, upon terms favorable to us, or at all.

If our fulfillment operations are interrupted for any significant period of time or are not sufficient to accommodate increased demand, our sales could decline and our reputation could be harmed.

Our success depends on our ability to successfully receive and fulfill orders and to promptly deliver our products to our customers. Most of the orders for our products are filled from our inventory in our distribution centers, where all our inventory management, packaging, labeling and product return processes are performed. Increased demand and other considerations may require us to expand our distribution centers or transfer our fulfillment operations to larger or other facilities in the future. If we do not successfully expand our fulfillment capabilities in response to increases in demand, our sales could decline.

In addition, our distribution centers are susceptible to damage or interruption from human error, pandemics, fire, flood, power loss, telecommunications failures, terrorist attacks, acts of war, break-ins, earthquakes and similar events. We do not currently maintain back-up power systems at our fulfillment centers. We do not presently have a formal disaster recovery plan and our business interruption insurance may be insufficient to compensate us for losses that may occur in the event operations at our fulfillment center are interrupted. In addition, alternative arrangements may not be available, or if they are available, may increase the cost of fulfillment. Any interruptions in our fulfillment operations for any significant period of time, including interruptions resulting from the expansion of our existing facilities or the transfer of operations to a new facility, could damage our reputation and brand and substantially harm our business and results of operations.

Failure to comply with privacy laws and regulations and failure to adequately protect customer data could harm our business, damage our reputation and result in the loss of customers.

Federal and state regulations may govern the collection, use, sharing and security of data that we receive from our customers. In addition, we have and post on our website our own privacy policies and practices concerning the collection, use and disclosure of customer data. Any failure, or perceived failure, by us to comply with our posted privacy policies or with any data-related consent orders, U.S. Federal Trade Commission requirements or other federal, state or international privacy-related laws and regulations could result in proceedings or actions against us by governmental entities or others, which could potentially harm our business. Further, failure or perceived failure to comply with our policies or applicable requirements related to the collection, use or security of personal information or other privacy-related matters could damage our reputation and result in a loss of customers. The regulatory framework for privacy issues is currently evolving and is likely to remain uncertain for the foreseeable future.

Quality problems with, and product liability claims in connection with, our aqueous ozone machines could lead to recalls or safety alerts, harm to our reputation, or adverse verdicts or costly settlements, and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Quality is extremely important to us and our customers due to the serious and costly consequences of product failure, and our business exposes us to potential product liability risks that are inherent in the design, manufacture and marketing of cleaning devices and services. In addition, our products may be used in intensive care settings with immunocompromised and seriously ill patients. Component failures, manufacturing defects or design flaws could result in an unsafe condition or injury to, or death of, a patient or other user of our products. These problems could lead to the recall of, or issuance of a safety alert relating to, our products and could result in unfavorable judicial decisions or settlements arising out of product liability claims and lawsuits, including class actions, which could negatively affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. In particular, a material adverse event involving one of our products could result in reduced market acceptance and demand for all products offered under our brand and could harm our reputation and ability to market products in the future.

High quality products are critical to the success of our business. If we fail to meet the high standards that we set for ourselves and that our customers expect, and if our products are the subject of recalls, safety alerts or other material adverse events, our reputation could be damaged, we could lose customers and our revenue could decline.

Any product liability claim brought against us, with or without merit, could be costly to defend and resolve. Any of the foregoing problems, including product liability claims or product recalls in the future, regardless of their ultimate outcome, could harm our reputation and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

We may receive a significant number of warranty claims or our aqueous ozone products may require significant amounts of service after sale.

Sales of our aqueous ozone products include a product limited two-year warranty that covers any issues related to manufacturing defects, specifically relating to the CCS Caddy, POWERcaddy, MINIcaddy, CCS Spotter, CCS 3.0 Fill Station, CCS 1.0 Fill Station, CCS 1000, CCS 2000L, CCS 5000 and the NuClean Pro Residential Fill Station. If a product is provided that has a manufacturing defect, we or an authorized distributor will replace or repair the defective product as long as a claim is submitted to us within the warranty period in writing within 30 days of the failure. This warranty does not cover abuse, misuse of the products, service or unit modifications not authorized by us, or environmental hazards. As the possible number and complexity of the features and functionalities of our products increase, we may experience a higher level of warranty claims. If product returns or warranty claims are significant or exceed our expectations, we could incur unanticipated expenditures for parts and services, which could have a material adverse effect on our operating results.

We could be subject to litigation.

Product liability claims are common. Even though we have not been subject to such claims in the past, we could be a named defendant in a lawsuit alleging product liability claims including, but not limited to, defects in the design, manufacture or labeling of our aqueous ozone products and machines. Any litigation, regardless of its merit or eventual outcome, could result in significant legal costs and high damage awards or settlements. Although we currently maintain product liability insurance, the coverage is subject to deductibles and limitations, and may not be adequate to cover future claims. Additionally, we may be unable to maintain our existing product liability insurance in the future at satisfactory rates or at adequate amounts.

If we are unable to protect our intellectual property rights, our reputation and brand could be impaired and we could lose customers.

We regard our patents, trademarks, trade secrets and similar intellectual property as important to our success. We rely on patent, trademark and copyright law, and trade secret protection, and confidentiality and/or license agreements with employees, customers, partners and others to protect our proprietary rights. We maintain 15 patents in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. We cannot be certain that we have taken adequate steps to protect our proprietary rights, especially in countries where the laws may not protect our rights as fully as in the United States. In addition, our proprietary rights may be infringed or misappropriated, and we could be required to incur significant expenses to preserve them. We may commence litigation to protect our intellectual property rights. The outcome of such litigation can be uncertain, and the cost of prosecuting such litigation may have an adverse impact on our earnings. We have patent and trademark registrations for several patents and marks. However, any registrations may not adequately cover our intellectual property or protect us against infringement by others. Effective patent, trademark, service mark, copyright and trade secret protection may not be available in every country in which our products and services may be made available online. We also currently own or control a number of Internet domain names and have invested time and money in the purchase of domain names and other intellectual property, which may be impaired if we cannot protect such intellectual property. We may be unable to protect these domain names or acquire or maintain relevant domain names in the United States and in other countries. If we are not able to protect our patents, trademarks, domain names or other intellectual property, we may experience difficulties in achieving and maintaining brand recognition and customer loyalty.

The loss of key personnel, an inability to attract and retain additional personnel or difficulties in the integration of new members of our management team into our company could affect our ability to successfully grow our business.

Our future success depends in large part upon the continued service of the members of our executive management team and key employees, including our Chief Executive Officer, Matthew Atkinson. All members of our executive management team are subject to employment agreements. In addition, our success also depends on our ability to attract and retain qualified technical, sales and marketing, product support, financial and accounting, legal and other managerial personnel. The competition for skilled personnel in the industries in which we operate is intense. Our

personnel generally may terminate their employment at any time for any reason. We may incur significant costs to attract and retain highly skilled personnel, and we may lose new employees to our competitors before we realize the benefit of our investment in recruiting them. As we move into new geographies, we will need to attract and recruit skilled personnel across functional areas. If we fail to attract new personnel or if we suffer increases in costs or business operations interruptions as a result of a labor dispute, or fail to retain and motivate our current personnel, we might not be able to operate our businesses effectively or efficiently, serve our users properly or maintain the quality of our content and services.

We will face growing regulatory and compliance requirements in a variety of areas, which can be costly and time consuming.

Our business is, and may in the future be, subject to a variety of laws and regulations, including working conditions, labor, immigration and employment laws, and health, safety and sanitation requirements. We are unable to predict the outcome or effects of any potential legislative or regulatory proposals on our business. Any changes to the legal and regulatory framework applicable to our business could have an adverse impact on our business and results of operations. Our failure to comply with applicable governmental laws and regulations, or to maintain necessary permits or licenses, could result in liability that could have a material negative effect on our business and results of operations.

Legislation or government regulations may be adopted which may affect our products and liability.

Nanobubble technology and aqueous ozone are subject to considerable regulatory uncertainty as the law evolves to catch up with the rapidly evolving nature of the technology itself, all of which are beyond our control. Our products also may not achieve the requisite level of compatibility required for certification and rollout to consumers or satisfy changing regulatory requirements which could require us to redesign, modify or update our products.

The industry may become subject to increased legislation and regulation. Further, the legislation or regulations in different countries may impose different standards, which may be conflicting. Any legislation or regulations which impose standards, or which impose liability, is likely to increase our manufacturing cost as well as the cost of compliance.

We are subject to, and must remain in compliance with, numerous laws and governmental regulations concerning the manufacturing, use, distribution and sale of our products. Some of our customers also require that it complies with their own unique requirements relating to these matters.

We manufacture and sell products that contain ozone, and which may be subject to government regulation in the locations where we develop, manufacture, and assemble our products, as well as the locations where we sell our products. Among other things, certain applicable laws and regulations require or may in the future require the submission of annual reports to the certain governmental agencies certifying that such products comply with applicable performance standards, the maintenance of manufacturing, testing, and distribution records, and the reporting of certain product defects to such regulatory agency or consumers. If our products fail to comply with applicable regulations, we and/or our products could be subjected to a variety of enforcement actions or sanctions, such as product recalls, repairs or replacements, warning letters, untitled letters, safety alerts, injunctions, import alerts, administrative product detentions or seizures, or civil penalties. The occurrence of any of the foregoing could harm our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

Risks Related to This Offering and Ownership of Our Common Stock

Once our class B common stock is listed on NYSE American, there can be no assurance that an active market in which investors can resell their shares of our class B common stock will develop.

Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for shares of our common stock. As a condition to consummating this offering, our class B common stock offered in this prospectus must be listed on NYSE American or another national securities exchange. Accordingly, we have applied to list our class B common stock on NYSE American under the symbol “            .” Assuming that our class B common stock is listed and after the consummation of this offering, there can be no assurance any broker will be interested in trading our stock. Therefore, it may be difficult to sell your shares if you desire or need to sell them. Our underwriters are not obligated to make a market in our class B common stock, and even if they make a market, they can discontinue market making at any time without notice. Neither we nor the underwriters can provide any assurance that an active and liquid trading market in our class B common stock will develop or, if developed, that such a market will continue.

The market price of our stock may be highly volatile, and you could lose all or part of your investment.

The market for our class B common stock may be characterized by significant price volatility when compared to the shares of larger, more established companies that have large public floats, and we expect that our stock price will be more volatile than the shares of such larger, more established companies for the indefinite future. The stock market in general, and the market for stocks of technology companies in particular, has recently been highly volatile. Furthermore, there have been recent instances of extreme stock price run-ups followed by rapid price declines and stock price volatility following a number of recent initial public offerings, particularly among companies with relatively smaller public floats. We may also experience such volatility, including stock run-ups, upon completion of this offering, which may be unrelated to our actual or expected operating performance and financial condition or prospects, making it difficult for prospective investors to assess the rapidly changing value of our class B common stock.

The market price of our class B common stock is likely to be volatile due to a number of factors. First, as noted above, our class B common stock is likely to be more sporadically and thinly traded compared to the shares of such larger, more established companies. The price for our class B common stock could, for example, decline precipitously in the event that a large number of shares are sold on the market without commensurate demand. Furthermore, pursuant to a separate resale prospectus included in the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, we are also registering 1,741,036 shares of class B common stock for resale by certain selling stockholders. The registration of such a large number of shares concurrent with this offering may also lead to increased volatility. Finally, we are a speculative or “risky” investment due to our lack of profits to date. As a consequence of this enhanced risk, more risk-adverse investors may, under the fear of losing all or most of their investment in the event of negative news or lack of progress, be more inclined to sell their shares on the market more quickly and at greater discounts than would be the case with the stock of a larger, more established company that has a large public float. Many of the foregoing factors are beyond our control and may decrease the market price of our class B common stock regardless of our operating performance. The market price of our class B common stock could also be subject to wide fluctuations in response to a broad and diverse range of factors, including the following:

•        actual or anticipated variations in our periodic operating results;

•        increases in market interest rates that lead investors of our class B common stock to demand a higher investment return;

•        changes in earnings estimates;

•        changes in market valuations of similar companies;

•        actions or announcements by our competitors;

•        adverse market reaction to any increased indebtedness we may incur in the future;

•        additions or departures of key personnel;

•        actions by stockholders;

•        speculation in the media, online forums, or investment community; and

•        our ability to maintain the listing of our class B common stock on NYSE American.

The public offering price of our class B common stock has been determined by negotiations between us and the underwriters based upon many factors and may not be indicative of prices that will prevail following the closing of this offering. Volatility in the market price of our class B common stock may prevent investors from being able to sell their shares at or above the initial public offering price. As a result, you may suffer a loss on your investment.

We may not be able to maintain a listing of our class B common stock on NYSE American.

If our class B common stock is listed on NYSE American, we must meet certain financial and liquidity criteria to maintain such a listing. If we fail to meet any of NYSE American’s continued listing standards or we violate NYSE American listing requirements, our class B common stock may be delisted. In addition, our board of directors may determine that the cost of maintaining our listing on a national securities exchange outweighs the benefits of such a listing. A delisting of our class B common stock from NYSE American may materially impair our stockholders’

ability to buy and sell our class B common stock and could have an adverse effect on the market price of, and the efficiency of the trading market for, our class B common stock. The delisting of our class B common stock could significantly impair our ability to raise capital and the value of your investment.

The structure of our common stock has the effect of concentrating voting control with two stockholders, which will limit or preclude your ability to influence corporate matters. It may also limit the price and liquidity of our class B common stock due to its ineligibility for inclusion in certain stock market indices.

We are authorized to issue two classes of common stock — class A common stock and class B common stock. The class A common stock is entitled to ten votes per share and the class B common stock is entitled to one vote. In this offering, we are offering shares of class B common stock. All of our outstanding class A common stock is currently held by Matthew Atkinson, our Chief Executive Officer. In addition, Mr. Atkinson and a third party, Bethor Limited, also hold all of our outstanding series seed preferred stock, which will automatically convert into class A common stock upon completion of this offering. Accordingly, upon completion of this offering, these stockholders will collectively be able to exercise approximately 88% of our total voting power (with Mr. Atkinson controlling approximately 35% and Bethor Limited controlling approximately 53%). This concentrated control will limit or preclude your ability to influence corporate matters, including significant business decisions for the foreseeable future and could harm the market value of your class B common stock.

In addition, certain index providers have announced restrictions on including companies with multiple-class share structures in certain of their indexes. For example, in July 2017, FTSE Russell and Standard & Poor’s announced that they would cease to allow most newly public companies utilizing dual or multi-class capital structures to be included in their indices. Under the announced policies, our dual class capital structure would make us ineligible for inclusion in any of these indices. Given the sustained flow of investment funds into passive strategies that seek to track certain indexes, exclusion from stock indexes would likely preclude investment by many of these funds and could make our class B common stock less attractive to other investors. As a result, fewer investors may be willing to purchase our class B common stock. In consequence, the market price and liquidity of our class B common stock could be adversely affected.

Our management has broad discretion as to the use of the net proceeds from this offering.

Our management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds of this offering. Accordingly, you will have to rely upon the judgment of our management with respect to the use of these proceeds. Our management may spend a portion or all of the net proceeds from this offering in ways that holders of our class B common stock may not desire or that may not yield a significant return or any return at all. Our management not applying these funds effectively could harm our business. Pending their use, we may also invest the net proceeds from this offering in a manner that does not produce income or that loses value. Please see “Use of Proceeds” below for more information.

You will experience immediate and substantial dilution as a result of this offering.

As of September 30, 2023, our net tangible book value (deficit) was approximately $(2,467,450), or approximately $(0.79) per share. Since the price per share being offered in this offering is substantially higher than the pro forma net tangible book value per common share, you will suffer substantial dilution with respect to the net tangible book value of the shares you purchase in this offering. Based on the assumed public offering price of $5.00 per share being sold in this offering, which is the midpoint of the estimated range of the public offering price shown on the cover page of this prospectus, and our net tangible book value per share as of September 30, 2023, if you purchase shares in this offering, you will suffer immediate and substantial dilution of $4.24 per share (or $4.06 per share if the underwriters exercise the over-allotment option in full) with respect to the net tangible book value of our common stock. See “Dilution” for a more detailed discussion of the dilution you will incur if you purchase shares in this offering.

We do not expect to declare or pay dividends in the foreseeable future.

We do not expect to declare or pay dividends in the foreseeable future, as we anticipate that we will invest future earnings in the development and growth of our business. Therefore, holders of our class B common stock will not receive any return on their investment unless they sell their shares, and holders may be unable to sell their shares on favorable terms or at all.

If securities industry analysts do not publish research reports on us, or publish unfavorable reports on us, then the market price and market trading volume of our class B common stock could be negatively affected.

Any trading market for our class B common stock may 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 class B 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 of us, the market price and market trading volume of our class B common stock could be negatively affected.

The number of shares being registered for sale concurrently with this offering is significant in relation to our outstanding shares.

As noted above, pursuant to a separate resale prospectus included in the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, we are also registering 1,741,036 shares of class B common stock for resale by certain selling stockholders. All of the shares registered for sale on behalf of the selling stockholders are “restricted securities” as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act. We have included the resale prospectus in the registration statement to register these restricted shares for sale into the public market by the selling stockholders. These restricted securities, if sold in the market all at once or at about the same time, could depress the market price and also could affect our ability to raise equity capital. Any outstanding shares not sold by the selling stockholders pursuant to the resale prospectus will remain as “restricted shares” in the hands of the holders, except for those sales that satisfy the requirements under Rule 144 or another exemption to the registration requirements under the Securities Act.

Future issuances of our class B common stock or securities convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, our class B common stock, or the expiration of lock-up agreements that restrict the issuance of new class B common stock or the trading of outstanding class B common stock, could cause the market price of our class B common stock to decline and would result in the dilution of your holdings.

Future issuances of our class B common stock or securities convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, our class B common stock, or the expiration of lock-up agreements that restrict the issuance of new class B common stock or the trading of outstanding class B common stock, could cause the market price of our class B common stock to decline. We cannot predict the effect, if any, of future issuances of our securities, or the future expirations of lock-up agreements, on the price of our class B common stock. In all events, future issuances of our class B common stock would result in the dilution of your holdings. In addition, the perception that new issuances of our securities could occur, or the perception that locked-up parties will sell their securities when the lock-ups expire, could adversely affect the market price of our class B common stock. In connection with this offering, we and our officers, directors and holders of 5% or greater of our outstanding class A common stock and class B common stock have agreed to be locked up for a period of twelve months from the date on which the trading of our class B common stock commences. Holders of 1-4.99% of our outstanding common stock agreed to be locked up for a period of six months from the date on which the trading of our class B common stock commences; provided that if the aggregate of such holders shares were to equal or exceed 20% of our outstanding common stock on a fully diluted basis prior to the completing of this offering, then their lock up period shall be for twelve months from the date of trading of our class B common stock commences. Holders of less than 1% of our outstanding common stock are not subject to any lock up; provided that if the aggregate of such holders shares were to equal or exceed 5% of our outstanding common stock on a fully diluted basis prior to the completing of this offering, then their lock up period shall be for six months from the date of trading of our class B common stock commences. See “Underwriting.” In addition to any adverse effects that may arise upon the expiration of these lock-up agreements, the lock-up provisions in these agreements may be waived, at any time and without notice. If the restrictions under the lock-up agreements are waived, our class B common stock may become available for resale, subject to applicable law, including without notice, which could reduce the market price for our class B common stock.

Future issuances of debt securities, which would rank senior to our common stock upon our bankruptcy or liquidation, and future issuances of preferred stock, which could 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 class B 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 stock 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 class B common stock must bear the risk that any future offerings we conduct or borrowings we make may adversely affect the level of return, if any, they may be able to achieve from an investment in our class B common stock.

If our shares of class B common stock become subject to the penny stock rules, it would become more difficult to trade our shares.

The SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or authorized for quotation on certain automated quotation systems, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system. If we do not retain a listing on NYSE American or another national securities exchange and if the price of our class B common stock is less than $5.00, our class B common stock could be deemed a penny stock. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, before a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document containing specified information. In addition, the penny stock rules require that before effecting any transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, a broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive (i) the purchaser’s written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement; (ii) a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks; and (iii) a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our class B common stock, and therefore stockholders may have difficulty selling their shares.

We will be subject to ongoing public reporting requirements that are less rigorous than Exchange Act rules for companies that are not emerging growth companies, and our stockholders could receive less information than they might expect to receive from more mature public companies.

Upon the completion of this offering, we will be required to publicly report on an ongoing basis as an “emerging growth company” (as defined in the JOBS Act) under the reporting rules set forth under the Exchange Act. For so long as we remain an emerging growth company, we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other Exchange Act reporting companies that are not emerging growth companies, including but not limited to:

•        not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act;

•        being permitted to comply with reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements; and

•        being exempt from the requirement to hold a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period. Our financial statements may therefore not be comparable to those of companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards.

We expect to take advantage of these reporting exemptions until we are no longer an emerging growth company. We would remain an emerging growth company for up to five years, although if the market value of our class B common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of any June 30 before that time, we would cease to be an emerging growth company as of the following December 31.

Because we will be subject to ongoing public reporting requirements that are less rigorous than Exchange Act rules for companies that are not emerging growth companies, our stockholders could receive less information than they might expect to receive from more mature public companies. We cannot predict if investors will find our class B common stock less attractive if we elect to rely on these exemptions, or if taking advantage of these exemptions would result in less active trading or more volatility in the price of our class B common stock.

We are also a smaller reporting company within the meaning of the Securities Act, and if we take advantage of certain exemptions from disclosure requirements available to smaller reporting companies, this could make our securities less attractive to investors and may make it more difficult to compare our performance with other public companies.

Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act defines a “smaller reporting company” as an issuer that is not an investment company, an asset-backed issuer, or a majority-owned subsidiary of a parent that is not a smaller reporting company and that:

•        had a public float of less than $250 million as of the last business day of its most recently completed second fiscal quarter, computed by multiplying the aggregate worldwide number of shares of its voting and non-voting common equity held by non-affiliates by the price at which the common equity was last sold, or the average of the bid and asked prices of common equity, in the principal market for the common equity; or

•        in the case of an initial registration statement under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act for shares of its common equity, had a public float of less than $250 million as of a date within 30 days of the date of the filing of the registration statement, computed by multiplying the aggregate worldwide number of such shares held by non-affiliates before the registration plus, in the case of a Securities Act registration statement, the number of such shares included in the registration statement by the estimated public offering price of the shares; or

•        in the case of an issuer whose public float as calculated under paragraph (1) or (2) of this definition was zero or whose public float was less than $700 million, had annual revenues of less than $100 million during the most recently completed fiscal year for which audited financial statements are available.

As a smaller reporting company, we will not be required and may not include a compensation discussion and analysis section in our proxy statements, and we will provide only two years of financial statements. We also will have other “scaled” disclosure requirements that are less comprehensive than issuers that are not smaller reporting companies which could make our class B common stock less attractive to potential investors, which could make it more difficult for our stockholders to sell their shares.

Upon the completion of this offering, we will be a “controlled company” under the rules of NYSE American and as a result, we may choose to exempt our company from certain corporate governance requirements that could have an adverse effect on our public stockholders.

Under NYSE American rules, a company of which more than 50% of the voting power is held by an individual, group or another company is a “controlled company” and may elect not to comply with certain corporate governance requirements, including, without limitation, (i) the requirement to have a board of directors comprised of a majority of independent directors, (ii) requirement that director nominees be selected either by the independent directors or a nomination committee comprised solely of independent directors and (iii) the requirement that the compensation of officers be determined, or recommended to the board for determination, either by the independent directors or a compensation committee comprised solely of independent directors. As noted above, upon the completion of this offering, Bethor Limited will be able to exercise approximately 53% of our total voting power. As a result, we will be a “controlled company” within the meaning of NYSE American rules. Although we currently do not intend to rely on the “controlled company” exemption, we could elect to rely on this exemption in the future. If we elected to rely on the “controlled company” exemption, a majority of the members of our board of directors might not be independent and our nominating and compensation committees might not consist entirely of independent directors. Our status as a controlled company could cause our class B common stock to look less attractive to certain investors or otherwise harm our trading price.

Anti-takeover provisions in our charter documents and under Nevada law could make an acquisition of our company more difficult, and limit attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our current management.

Provisions in our articles of incorporation and bylaws may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control of our company or changes in our management. As described above, we have a dual class structure which concentrates control with two stockholders. Furthermore, neither the holders of our common stock nor the holders of our preferred

stock have cumulative voting rights in the election of our directors. The combination of the present ownership by two stockholders of a significant portion of our issued and outstanding common stock and lack of cumulative voting makes it more difficult for other stockholders to replace our board of directors or for a third party to obtain control of our company by replacing its board of directors.

In addition, our authorized but unissued shares of common stock are available for our board of directors to issue without stockholder approval, subject to NYSE American’s rules. We may use these additional shares for a variety of corporate purposes, including raising additional capital, corporate acquisitions and employee stock plans. The existence of our authorized but unissued shares of common stock could render it more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of our company by means of a proxy context, tender offer, merger or other transaction since our board of directors can issue large amounts of capital stock as part of a defense to a take-over challenge. In addition, we have authorized in our articles of incorporation 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock. Our board acting alone and without approval of our stockholders, subject to NYSE American’s rules, can designate and issue one or more series of preferred stock containing super-voting provisions, enhanced economic rights, rights to elect directors, or other dilutive features, that could be utilized as part of a defense to a take-over challenge.

In addition, various provisions of our bylaws may also have an anti-takeover effect. These provisions may delay, defer or prevent a tender offer or takeover attempt of our company that a stockholder might consider in his or her best interest, including attempts that might result in a premium over the market price for the shares held by our stockholders. Our bylaws may be adopted, amended or repealed only by our board of directors. Our bylaws also contain limitations as to who may call special meetings as well as require advance notice of stockholder matters to be brought at a meeting. Additionally, our bylaws also provide that no director may be removed by less than a two-thirds vote of the issued and outstanding shares entitled to vote on the removal. Our bylaws also permit the board of directors to establish the number of directors and fill any vacancies and newly created directorships. These provisions will prevent a stockholder from increasing the size of our board of directors and gaining control of our board of directors by filling the resulting vacancies with its own nominees.

Our bylaws also establish an advance notice procedure for stockholder proposals to be brought before an annual meeting of our stockholders, including proposed nominations of persons for election to the board of directors. Stockholders at an annual meeting will only be able to consider proposals or nominations specified in the notice of meeting or brought before the meeting by or at the direction of the board of directors or by a stockholder who was a stockholder of record on the record date for the meeting, who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who has given us timely written notice, in proper form, of the stockholder’s intention to bring that business before the meeting. Although our bylaws do not give the board of directors the power to approve or disapprove stockholder nominations of candidates or proposals regarding other business to be conducted at a special or annual meeting, our bylaws may have the effect of precluding the conduct of certain business at a meeting if the proper procedures are not followed or may discourage or deter a potential acquirer from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect its own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to obtain control of our company.

These provisions may frustrate or prevent any attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our current management by making it more difficult for stockholders to replace members of our board of directors, which is responsible for appointing the members of our management.

General Risk Factors

We face significant competition.

We believe that our success will depend heavily upon achieving market acceptance of our products before our competitors introduce more advanced competing products. Current and new competitors, however, may be able to develop and introduce better or more desirable products in advance of us or at a lower cost. In addition, some of our current and potential competitors have longer and/or more established operating histories, greater industry experience, greater name recognition, established customer bases, and significantly greater financial, technical, marketing, and other resources than we do. To be competitive, we must respond promptly and effectively to the challenges of technological change, evolving standards and regulations, and our competitors’ innovations by continually working to improve the design of our products, enhancing our products, as well as improving and increasing our marketing and distribution channels. Increased competition could result in a decrease in the desirability of our products, a decrease in the use of our products by customers, loss of market share and brand recognition, and a reduction in the projected revenues from our products. We cannot assure you that we will be able to compete successfully against current and future competitors. Competitive pressures faced by us could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.

Increased prices for raw materials could increase our cost of sales and decrease demand for our products, which could adversely affect our revenue or profitability.

Our profitability is affected by the prices of the raw materials used in the manufacturing and sale of our products. These prices may fluctuate based on a number of factors beyond our control, including, among others, changes in supply and demand, general economic conditions, labor costs, competition, import duties, currency exchange rates and, in some cases, government regulation. Increased prices could adversely affect our profitability or revenues. We do not have long-term supply contracts for the raw materials. Significant increases in the prices of raw materials could adversely affect our profit margins, especially if we are not able to recover these costs by increasing the prices we charge our customers for our products.

If commodity prices such as fuel, plastic and steel increase, our margins may be negatively impacted.

Our third-party delivery services have increased fuel surcharges from time to time, and such increases negatively impact our margins, as we are generally unable to pass all of these costs directly to consumers. Increasing prices of the raw materials for the products we sell may impact the availability, the quality and the price of our products, as suppliers search for alternatives to existing materials and increase the prices they charge. We cannot ensure that we can recover all the increased costs through price increases, and our suppliers may not continue to provide the consistent quality of raw materials as they may substitute lower cost materials to maintain pricing levels, all of which may have a negative impact on our business and results of operations.

If we fail to properly manage our anticipated growth, our business could suffer.

The planned growth of our commercial operations may place a significant strain on our management and on our operational and financial resources and systems. To manage growth effectively, we will need to maintain a system of management controls, and attract and retain qualified personnel, as well as develop, train and manage management-level and other employees. Failure to manage our growth effectively could cause us to over-invest or under-invest in infrastructure, and result in losses or weaknesses in our infrastructure, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flow. Any failure by us to manage our growth effectively could have a negative effect on our ability to achieve our development and commercialization goals and strategies.

Business interruptions in our facilities may affect the distribution of our products and/or the stability of our computer systems, which may affect our business.

Weather, terrorist activities, war or other disasters, or the threat of them, may result in the closure of one or more of our facilities, or may adversely affect our ability to timely provide products to our customers, resulting in lost sales or a potential loss of customer loyalty. Most of our raw materials are imported from other countries and these goods could become difficult or impossible to bring into the United States, and we may not be able to obtain such raw materials from other sources at similar prices. Such a disruption in revenue could potentially have a negative impact on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

We rely extensively on our computer systems to manage inventory, process transactions and timely provide products to our customers. Our systems are subject to damage or interruption from power outages, telecommunications failures, computer viruses, security breaches or other catastrophic events. If our systems are damaged or fail to function properly, we may experience loss of critical data and interruptions or delays in our ability to manage inventories or process customer transactions. Such a disruption of our systems could negatively impact revenue and potentially have a negative impact on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

Security threats, such as ransomware attacks, to our IT infrastructure could expose us to liability, and damage our reputation and business.

It is essential to our business strategy that our technology and network infrastructure remain secure and is perceived by our customers to be secure. Despite security measures, however, any network infrastructure may be vulnerable to cyber-attacks. Information security risks have significantly increased in recent years in part due to the proliferation of new technologies and the increased sophistication and activities of organized crime, hackers, terrorists and other external parties, including foreign private parties and state actors. We may face cyber-attacks that attempt to penetrate our network security, including our data centers, to sabotage or otherwise disable our website, misappropriate our or

our customers’ proprietary information, which may include personally identifiable information, or cause interruptions of our internal systems and services. If successful, any of these attacks could negatively affect our reputation, damage our network infrastructure and our ability to sell our products, harm our relationship with customers that are affected and expose us to financial liability.

We maintain a comprehensive system of preventive and detective controls through our security programs; however, given the rapidly evolving nature and proliferation of cyber threats, our controls may not prevent or identify all such attacks in a timely manner or otherwise prevent unauthorized access to, damage to, or interruption of our systems and operations, and we cannot eliminate the risk of human error or employee or vendor malfeasance.

In addition, any failure by us to comply with applicable privacy and information security laws and regulations could cause us to incur significant costs to protect any customers whose personal data was compromised and to restore customer confidence in us and to make changes to our information systems and administrative processes to address security issues and compliance with applicable laws and regulations. In addition, our customers could lose confidence in our ability to protect their personal information, which could cause them to stop shopping on our sites altogether. Such events could lead to lost sales and adversely affect our results of operations. We also could be exposed to government enforcement actions and private litigation.

Interruptions in deliveries of raw materials could adversely affect our revenue or profitability.

Our dependency upon regular deliveries from particular suppliers means that interruptions or stoppages in such deliveries could adversely affect our operations until arrangements with alternate suppliers could be made. If any of our suppliers were unable to deliver raw materials to us for an extended period of time, as the result of financial difficulties, catastrophic events affecting their facilities or other factors beyond our control, or if we were unable to negotiate acceptable terms for the supply of raw materials with these or alternative suppliers, our business could suffer. We may not be able to find acceptable alternatives, and any such alternatives could result in increased costs for us. Even if acceptable alternatives are found, the process of locating and securing such alternatives might be disruptive to our business. Extended unavailability of a necessary raw material could cause us to cease manufacturing or selling one or more of our products for a period of time.

Assertions by third parties of infringement, misappropriation or other violation by us of their intellectual property rights could result in significant costs and substantially harm our business and operating results.

In recent years, there has been significant litigation involving intellectual property rights. Any infringement, misappropriation or related claims, whether or not meritorious, is time-consuming, diverts technical and management personnel and is costly to resolve. As a result of any such dispute, we may have to develop non-infringing technology, pay damages, enter into royalty or licensing agreements, cease providing our product or take other actions to resolve the claims. These actions, if required, may be costly or unavailable on terms acceptable to us. Any of these events could result in increases in operating expenses, limit our product offerings or result in a loss of business.

Industry and other market data that may be used in our prospectus or in periodic reports that we may in the future file with the SEC and our other materials, including those undertaken by us or our engaged consultants, may not prove to be representative of current and future market conditions or future results.

This prospectus, and periodic reports that we may in the future file with the SEC, includes or may include or refer to statistical and other industry and market data that we obtained from industry publications and research, surveys and studies conducted by third parties and surveys and studies that we may have undertaken ourselves regarding the market potential for our product candidates. Although we believe that such information has been, and will be, obtained from reliable sources, the sources of such data do not guarantee the accuracy or completeness of such information. While we believe these industry publications and third-party research, surveys and studies are reliable, we do not independently verify such data. The results of this data represent various methodologies, assumptions, research, analysis, projections, estimates, composition of respondent pool, presentation of data and adjustments, each of which may ultimately prove to be incorrect or inaccurate and may cause actual results and market viability information to differ materially from that presented in this prospectus or any such report or other materials that we may prepare.

No forward-looking statement is a guarantee of future performance.

The forward-looking statements made in this prospectus relate only to events or information as of the date on which the statements are made in this prospectus.

USE OF PROCEEDS

After deducting the estimated underwriters’ discounts and commissions and offering expenses payable by us, we expect to receive net proceeds of approximately $6.1 million from this offering (or approximately $7.1 million if the underwriters exercise the over-allotment option in full), based on an assumed public offering price of $5.00 per share, which is the midpoint of the estimated offering range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus.

We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering for the repayment of certain debt, research and development/intellectual property, and for working capital and general corporate purposes. For purposes of calculation of the loan payoff amount, we have used a payoff date of December 17, 2023. Additional interest will accrue at the given rates from December 17, 2023 to the closing date of this offering.

The following table sets forth a breakdown of our estimated use of our net proceeds as we currently expect to use them.

____________

(1)      On October 17, 2022, we issued a promissory note in the principal amount of $3,000,000 to Burlington Capital, LLC as part of the purchase price for the acquisition of CleanCore LLC, TetraClean and Food Safety. The note bore interest at a rate of 7% per annum until September 13, 2023, after which time the rate increased to 10% per annum. The note matures and is due on the earlier of (i) the closing of a firm commitment initial public offering and concurrent listing on a national securities exchange or (ii) December 17, 2023. We may prepay the note at any time at any time without penalty. The note is unsecured and contains customary events of default.

The foregoing represents our current intentions to use and allocate the net proceeds of this offering based upon our present plans and business conditions. Our management, however, will have broad discretion in the way that we use the net proceeds of this offering. Pending the final application of the net proceeds of this offering, we intend to invest the net proceeds of this offering in short-term, interest-bearing, investment-grade securities. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to This Offering and Ownership of Our Common Stock — Our management has broad discretion as to the use of the net proceeds from this offering.”

DIVIDEND POLICY

We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our capital stock. We currently intend to retain all available funds and any future earnings for use in the operation of our business and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the near future. We may also enter into credit agreements or other borrowing arrangements in the future that will restrict our ability to declare or pay cash dividends. Any future determination to declare dividends will be made at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on our financial condition, operating results, capital requirements, contractual restrictions, general business conditions and other factors that our board of directors may deem relevant. See also “Risk Factors — Risks Related to This Offering and Ownership of Our Common Stock — We do not expect to declare or pay dividends in the foreseeable future.”

CAPITALIZATION

The following table sets forth our capitalization as of September 30, 2023:

•        on an actual basis; and

•        on a pro forma as adjusted basis to reflect (i) the sale of 1,500,000 shares of class B common stock by us in this offering at an assumed price to the public of $5.00 per share, which is the midpoint of the estimated offering range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, resulting in net proceeds to us of $6,060,000 after deducting underwriter commissions, discounts and non-accountable expenses of $600,000 and our estimated other offering expenses of $840,000 (assuming no exercise of the over-allotment option), and after giving effect to the use of proceeds described herein, and (ii) the conversion of 3,000,000 shares of series seed preferred stock into 3,000,000 shares of class A common stock concurrent with the closing of this offering.

The as adjusted information below is illustrative only and our capitalization following the completion of this offering is subject to adjustment based on the public offering price and other terms of this offering determined at pricing. You should read this table together with our financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this prospectus and the information under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

The table above excludes the following shares:

•        350,000 shares of class B common stock issuable upon the conversion of 350,000 shares of class A common stock upon a transfer thereof;

•        2,000,000 shares of class A common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding options at an exercise price of $0.25 per share;

•        770,000 shares of class B common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding options granted under our 2022 equity incentive plan at a weighted average exercise price of $2.21 per share;

•        966,819 shares of class B common stock that are reserved for future issuance under our 2022 equity incentive plan;

•        46,263 shares of class B common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding warrants at an exercise price of $1.74 per share; and

•        up to 105,000 shares of class B common stock (or 120,750 shares issuable if the underwriters exercise the overallotment option in full) issuable upon exercise of the representative’s warrants issued in connection with this offering.

DILUTION

If you invest in our class B common stock in this offering, your ownership will be diluted immediately to the extent of the difference between the public offering price per share and the as adjusted net tangible book value per share of common stock immediately after this offering. Dilution in net tangible book value per share to new investors is the amount by which the offering price paid by the purchasers of the shares sold in this offering exceeds the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share after this offering. Net tangible book value per share is determined at any date by subtracting our total liabilities from the total book value of our tangible assets and dividing the difference by the number of shares of class B common stock deemed to be outstanding at that date.

As of September 30, 2023, our net tangible book value (deficit) was approximately $(2,467,450), or approximately $(0.79) per share.

After giving effect to our sale of 1,500,000 shares of class B common stock in this offering at an assumed public offering price of $5.00 per share, which is the midpoint of the estimated range of the public offering price shown on the cover page of this prospectus, after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses, and after giving effect to the use of proceeds described herein, our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value as of September 30, 2023 would have been approximately $3,520,951, or approximately $0.76 per share. This amount represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of $1.55 per share to existing stockholders and an immediate dilution in net tangible book value of $4.24 per share to purchasers of our shares in this offering, as illustrated in the following table.

If the underwriters exercise their over-allotment option in full, the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value would be $0.94 per share, and the dilution in net tangible book value per share to new investors purchasing shares in this offering would be $4.06 per share.

The following table sets forth the total number of shares of common stock previously issued and sold to existing investors, the total consideration paid for the foregoing and the average price per share of common stock paid, or to be paid, by existing owners and by the new investors. The calculation below is based on the assumed initial public offering price of $5.00 per share, which is the midpoint of the estimated offering range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, before deducting estimated underwriter commissions and offering expenses, in each case payable by us, and assumes no exercise of the over-allotment option.

____________

(1)      Includes 3,000,000 shares of series seed preferred stock that will be automatically converted into 3,000,000 shares of class A common stock concurrent with the closing of this offering.

The discussion and tables above exclude the following shares:

•        2,000,000 shares of class A common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding options at an exercise price of $0.25 per share;

•        770,000 shares of class B common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding options granted under our 2022 equity incentive plan at a weighted average exercise price of $2.21 per share;

•        966,819 shares of class B common stock that are reserved for future issuance under our 2022 equity incentive plan;

•        46,263 shares of class B common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding warrants at an exercise price of $1.74 per share; and

•        up to 105,000 shares of class B common stock (or 120,750 shares issuable if the underwriters exercise the overallotment option in full) issuable upon exercise of the representative’s warrants issued in connection with this offering.

To the extent that outstanding options or other convertible securities have been or may be exercised or other shares issued, including under our stock-based compensation plans, investors participating in this offering may experience further dilution. In addition, we may choose to raise additional capital due to market conditions or strategic considerations even if we believe we have sufficient funds for our current or future operating plans. To the extent that additional capital is raised through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the issuance of these securities could result in further dilution to our stockholders.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis summarizes the significant factors affecting our operating results, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows of our company as of and for the periods presented below. The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the related notes thereto included elsewhere in this prospectus. The discussion contains forward-looking statements that are based on the beliefs of management, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, our management. Actual results could differ materially from those discussed in or implied by forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those discussed below and elsewhere in this prospectus, particularly in the sections titled “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

All periods presented on or prior to October 16, 2022 represent the operations of CleanCore, TetraClean and Food Safety, our predecessors companies, and all references to “predecessor” refer to the combined financial position and results of operations of CleanCore, TetraClean and Food Safety on and before such date.

Overview

We specialize in the development and manufacturing of cleaning products that produce pure aqueous ozone for professional, industrial, or home use. We have a patented nanobubble technology using aqueous ozone that we believe is highly effective in cleaning, sanitizing, and deodorizing surfaces and high-touch areas.

We offer products and solutions that are marketed for janitorial and sanitation, ice machine cleaning, laundry, and industrial industries. Our products are used in many types of environments including retail establishments, distribution centers, factories, warehouses, restaurants, schools and universities, airports, healthcare, food service, and commercial buildings such as offices, malls, and stores.

Our mission is to become a leader in creating safe, clean spaces that are free from any chemical residue or skin irritants. We are currently expanding our distributor network, improving our manufacturing processes, and proving the effectiveness of our products in restaurants, airports, and hotels.

Principal Factors Affecting Our Financial Performance

Our operating results are primarily affected by the following factors:

•        our ability to acquire new customers or retain existing customers;

•        our ability to stay ahead of our value-proposition to end consumers;

•        our ability to continue innovating our technology to meet consumer demand;

•        industry demand and competition; and

•        market conditions and our market position.

Emerging Growth Company

Upon the completion of this offering, we will qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act. As a result, we will be permitted to, and intend to, rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements. For so long as we are an emerging growth company, we will not be required to:

•        have an auditor report on our internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act;

•        comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (i.e., an auditor discussion and analysis);

•        submit certain executive compensation matters to stockholder advisory votes, such as “say-on-pay” and “say-on-frequency;” and

•        disclose certain executive compensation related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the chief executive officer’s compensation to median employee compensation.

In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period. Our financial statements may therefore not be comparable to those of companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards.

We will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest of (i) the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of this offering, (ii) the last day of the first fiscal year in which our total annual gross revenues are $1.235 billion or more, (iii) the date that we become a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act, which would occur if the market value of our class B common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter or (iv) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt during the preceding three year period.

Results of Operations

Comparison of Three Months Ended September 30, 2023 and 2022

The following table sets forth key components of our results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2023 (Successor) and the three months ended September 30, 2022 (Predecessor), both in dollars and as a percentage of our revenues.

Revenue.    We generate revenue from sales of our cleaning products. Our revenue decreased by $176,913, or 35.20%, to $325,684 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 from $502,597 for the three months ended September 30, 2022. Such decrease was primarily due to decreases in the volume of products sold to our largest customers, due to external factors that impacted their number of purchases, offset by increases in product prices.

Cost of sales.    Our cost of sales consists of raw materials, components and labor. Our cost of sales decreased by $193,223, or 55.88%, to $152,575 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 from $345,798 for the three months ended September 30, 2022. As a percentage of revenue, cost of sales decreased from 68.80% for the three months ended September 30, 2022 to 46.85% for the three months ended September 30, 2023. This decrease was primarily due to the price increases described above.

Gross profit.    As a result of the foregoing, our gross profit increased by $16,310, or 10.40%, to $173,109 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 from $156,799 for the three months ended September 30, 2022. As a percentage of revenue, gross profit increased from 31.20% for the three months ended September 30, 2022 to 53.15% for the three months ended September 30, 2023.

General and administrative expenses.    Our general and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel expenses, including employee salaries and bonuses plus related payroll taxes, professional advisor fees, bad debts, rent expense, insurance and other expenses incurred in connection with general operations. Our general and administrative expenses increased by $247,128 or 82.04%, to $548,375 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 from $301,247 for the three months ended September 30, 2022. As a percentage of revenue, our general and administrative expenses increased from 59.94% for the three months ended September 30, 2022 to 168.38% for the three months ended September 30, 2023. Such an increase was primarily due to the issuance of stock options and related expenses, as well as the hiring of additional staff.

Advertising expenses.    Our advertising expenses consist of vendor trade shows and various trade publications. Our advertising expenses decreased by $3,673, or 81.69%, to $823 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 from $4,496 for the three months ended September 30, 2022. Such decrease was primarily due to a reduction in trade show sponsorship expenses.

Depreciation expense.    We incurred depreciation expense of $63, or 0.02% of revenue, for the three months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to $6,420, or 1.28% of revenue, for the three months ended September 30, 2022.

Interest expense.    We incurred interest expense of $61,142, or 18.77% of revenue, for the three months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to $107,693, or 21.43% of revenue, for the three months ended September 30, 2022.

Net loss.    As a result of the cumulative effect of the factors described above, we had a net loss of $437,294 for the three months ended September 30, 2023, as compared to $263,057 for the three months ended September 30, 2022, an increase of $174,237, or 66.24%.

Comparison of Years Ended June 30, 2023 and 2022

The following table sets forth key components of our results of operations for the period from October 17, 2022 to June 30, 2023 (Successor), the period from July 1, 2022 to October 16, 2022 (Predecessor), and for the year ended June 30, 2022 (Predecessor).

We believe that reviewing our operating results for the year ended June 30, 2023, by combining the results of the successor period (October 17, 2022 to June 30, 2023) and the predecessor period (July 1, 2022 to October 16, 2022) is more useful in discussing our overall operating performance compared to the results of the year ended June 30, 2022 (predecessor). We do not see any potential risks associated with utilizing this combined presentation.

Following are the combined results for the years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, both in dollars and as a percentage of our revenues.

Revenue.    Our revenue decreased by $206,649, or 7.80%, to $2,441,356 for the year ended June 30, 2023 from $2,648,005 for the year ended June 30, 2022. Such decrease was primarily due to the insolvency of a distributor which did not generate any revenue in the fourth quarter of 2023. For the year ended June 30, 2023, this distributor accounted for approximately 10% of our total revenue, as compared to 17% for the year ended June 30, 2022.

Cost of sales.    Our cost of sales decreased by $225,964, or 11.67%, to $1,711,141 for the year ended June 30, 2023 from $1,937,105 for the year ended June 30, 2022. Such decrease was in line with our decrease in revenue. As a percentage of revenue, cost of sales decreased from 73.15% for the year ended June 30, 2022 to 70.09% for the year ended June 30, 2023 due to price increases and cost adjustments that we made in February 2023 to improve our margins.

Gross profit.    As a result of the foregoing, our gross profit increased by $19,315, or 2.72%, to $730,215 for the year ended June 30, 2023 from $710,900 for the year ended June 30, 2022. As a percentage of revenue, gross profit increased slightly from 26.85% for the year ended June 30, 2022 to 29.91% for the year ended June 30, 2023.

General and administrative expenses.    Our general and administrative expenses increased by $4,826,603, or 519.97%, to $5,754,854 for the year ended June 30, 2023 from $928,251 for the year ended June 30, 2022. As a percentage of revenue, our general and administrative expenses increased from 35.05% for the year ended June 30, 2022 to 235.72% for the year ended June 30, 2023. Such increase was primarily due to a stock compensation expense of $4,089,332 relating to stock options and warrants issued in 2023 and an increase in executive compensation and consulting fees following the acquisition.

Advertising expenses.    Our advertising expenses decreased by $11,317, or 36.65%, to $19,565 for the year ended June 30, 2023 from $30,882 for the year ended June 30, 2022. As a percentage of revenue, our advertising expenses decreased from 1.17% for the year ended June 30, 2022 to 0.80% for the year ended June 30, 2023. Such a decrease was primarily due to a strategic change to reduce advertising spending to ensure a direct return on investment for all expenses incurred in relation to advertising.

Depreciation expense.    We incurred a depreciation expense of $6,206, or 0.25% of revenue, for the year ended June 30, 2023, as compared to $18,317, or 0.69% of revenue, for the year ended June 30, 2022.

Interest expense.    We incurred interest expenses of $292,861, or 12.00% of revenue, for the year ended June 30, 2023, as compared to $275,061, or 10.39% of revenue, for the year ended June 30, 2022.

Net loss.    As a result of the cumulative effect of the factors described above, we had a net loss of $5,343,271 for the year ended June 30, 2023, as compared to $541,611 for the year ended June 30, 2022, an increase of $4,801,660, or 886.55%.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30, 2023, we had cash and cash equivalents of $64,118. To date, we have financed our operations primarily through revenue generated from operations, bank borrowings, private placements of our securities and advances from our founder and Chief Executive Officer.

Management has prepared estimates of operations and believes that with the proceeds of this offering sufficient funds will be generated from operations to fund our operations and to service our debt obligations for at least the next twelve months. We may, however, in the future require additional cash resources due to changing business conditions, implementation of our strategy to expand our business, or other investments or acquisitions we may decide to pursue. If our own financial resources are insufficient to satisfy our capital requirements, we may seek to sell additional equity or debt securities or obtain additional credit facilities. The sale of additional equity securities could result in dilution to our stockholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased debt service obligations and could require us to agree to operating and financial covenants that would restrict our operations. Financing may not be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. Any failure by us to raise additional funds on terms favorable to us, or at all, could limit our ability to expand our business operations and could harm our overall business prospects.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis under which we are expected to be able to realize our assets and satisfy our liabilities in the normal course of business.

Contractual Obligations

Our principal commitments consist mostly of obligations under the loans described above and the operating leases described under “Business — Facilities”. Other than indicated above, at September 30, 2023, we did not have other long-term debt obligations, capital (finance) lease obligations, operating lease obligations, purchase obligations or other long-term liabilities reflected on our statements of financial position.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Critical Accounting Policies

The following discussion relates to critical accounting policies for our company. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires our management to make assumptions, estimates and judgments that affect the amounts reported, including the notes thereto, and related disclosures of commitments and contingencies, if any. We have identified certain accounting policies that are significant to the preparation of our financial statements. These accounting policies are important for an understanding of our financial condition and results of operation. Critical accounting policies are those that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and require management’s difficult, subjective, or complex judgment, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting the estimate may differ significantly from management’s current judgments. We believe the following critical accounting policies involve the most significant estimates and judgments used in the preparation of our financial statements:

Revenue Recognition.    We generate revenue from sales of our products and recognize revenue as control of our products is transferred to our customers, which is generally at the time of shipment based on the contractual terms with our customers. We provide customer programs and incentive offerings, including growth incentives and volume-based incentives. These customer programs and incentives are considered variable consideration. We include in revenue variable consideration only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the variable consideration is resolved. This determination is made based upon known customer program and incentive offerings at the time of sale, and expected sales volume forecasts as it relates to our volume-based incentives. This determination is updated every reporting period. For the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 and for the years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, customer growth and volume-based incentives were minimal. Certain product sales include a 2-year manufacturer’s warranty that provides the customer with assurance that the product performs as intended. Such warranties are assurance-type warranties and are accounted for as contingencies under ASC 460-10.

Inventory.    Inventory consists of parts, work in progress and finished goods. We value our parts and finished goods at the lower of the actual costs or net realizable value. We value our work in progress at cost. We periodically review our inventory for obsolete and potentially impaired items. As of September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023, we had an allowance for inventory obsolescence of $14,895 and $14,940, respectively.

Accounts Receivable.    Accounts receivable is comprised of trade accounts receivables from our customers. Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. Our company established an allowance for bad debt of accounts receivables based on a percentage assigned to aged days outstanding categories. Our predecessor established the allowance for bad debt based on various factors including credit profiles of customers, historical payments, outstanding balances and current economic trends, and performed this analysis periodically. We recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts of $1,275 and $4,419 as of September 30, 2023 and June 30, 2023, respectively.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets.    Long-lived assets consist primarily of property and equipment and intangible assets. Long-lived assets are tested for impairment when events and circumstances indicate the assets might be impaired by first comparing the estimated future undiscounted cash flows of the asset or asset group to the carrying value.

BUSINESS

Overview

We specialize in the development and manufacturing of cleaning products that produce pure aqueous ozone for professional, industrial, or home use. We have a patented nanobubble technology using aqueous ozone that we believe is highly effective in cleaning, sanitizing, and deodorizing surfaces and high-touch areas.

Our mission is to become a leader in creating safe, clean spaces that are free from any chemical residue or skin irritants. We are currently expanding our distributor network, improving our manufacturing processes, and proving the effectiveness of our products in restaurants, airports, and hotels.

As noted by the EPA (“Wastewater Technology Fact Sheet: Ozone Disinfection,” September 1999), ozone has been used in water treatment facilities to remove pathogens from water for decades. However, ozone was not safe for traditional cleaning because the gas alone can be harmful when inhaled. In recent years, ozone has been found to become a powerful cleaning solution if infused into tap water, which then creates a solution called aqueous ozone. Once the ozone is added into the water, the resulting solution is safe to handle, yet continues to hold the effective cleaning and oxidizing components of ozone.

Our product offerings utilize a patented technology that we believe produces an enhanced aqueous ozone solution that requires no additives, filters, or advanced chemicals. We believe that we are the only company that has an aqueous ozone solution that is produced in the form of nanobubbles. In a critical review from Environmental Science Nano (“Disinfection applications of ozone micro- and nanobubbles,” November 2, 2021) authors Petroula Seridou and Nicolas Kalogerakis explain that since its discovery in the 1990’s, nanobubbles have been used to remove pollutants in many industries, including biopharma and food processing. Nanobubbles are the nanometer-sized (one billionth of a meter) gaseous cavities in a liquid solution. The common micro sized bubbles have larger diameters which causes them to rise quickly to the surface of an aqueous solution as compared to the smaller bubbles.

Since nanobubbles have no natural buoyancy, they remain underwater, where each tiny, negatively charged bubble is attracted to positively charged pollutants and harmful toxins. In the article, Seridou and Kalogerakis write about how this union causes the nanobubbles to release ozone which extinguishes pathogens and slowly breaks down the cell walls of mold, germs, and other residues. Further, a smaller size of nanobubbles is also more effective as it has a higher density of ozone and is able to provide a more thorough surface coverage, which destroys a higher number of contaminants.

Our pure aqueous ozone product is a natural cleaner, sanitizer, and deodorizer produced through the infusion of ozone into water using electricity. The use of this ozone solution has been proven effective in eliminating germs, viruses, bacteria, allergens, and molds; and it performs better than bleach according to a research report published by PLoS One (“The microbial killing capacity of aqueous and gaseous ozone on different surfaces contaminated with dairy cattle manure,” May 14, 2018). Aqueous ozone technology has been tested and previously destroyed pathogens including E. Coli, Staphylococcus, Listeria, and Salmonella as described in Catalyst journal (“Ozone and Photocatalytic Processes for Pathogens Removal from Water: A Review,” January 5, 2019). The solution cleans hard surfaces, floors, carpets, upholstery, and food contact surfaces.

In addition, in an independent case study at Cape Coral Hospital in Florida, the aqueous ozone solution worked to significantly deodorize smells. The same internal case study notes that the aqueous ozone does not mask smells, but instead destroys the bacterium causing the smell.

Our aqueous ozone solution is referred to as “pure” because of its ability to keep high concentration of ozone in the solution without needing to use a stabilizer or additive. Depending on the product, the pure aqueous ozone solution contains between 0.5 to 1.5 ppm of ozone for professional cleaning and up to 20 ppm of ozone for industrial cleaning. At these levels, we believe the concentration of ozone within the solution is strong enough to effectively clean and deodorize better than bleach.

Corporate History and Structure

We were incorporated in the State of Nevada on August 23, 2022 under the name CC Acquisition Corp. for the sole purpose of acquiring substantially all of the assets of CleanCore LLC, TetraClean and Food Safety. On November 21, 2022, we changed our name from CC Acquisition Corp. to CleanCore Solutions, Inc.

On October 17, 2022, we entered into an asset purchase agreement with CleanCore LLC, TetraClean, Food Safety and Burlington Capital, LLC, the majority owner of these entities, pursuant to which we acquired substantially all of the assets of CleanCore LLC, TetraClean and Food Safety for a total purchase price of $5,000,000, consisting of $2,000,000 in cash and the issuance of a promissory note in the principal amount of $3,000,000. In addition, if, and only if, the business acquired generates revenue of $5,565,000 and a net income of $1,607,103 from certain existing customers for the twelve-month period ending on October 31, 2023, then we are required to make a one-time payment of $500,000, which shall be deemed to be an adjustment to the purchase price.

The predecessor of CleanCore LLC was CleanCore Technologies, LLC, which was formed in 2014 and was wholly owned by Center Ridge Holdings, LLC. CleanCore LLC was formed in 2019 by Burlington Solutions, LLC and Walker Water, LLC d/b/a O-Z Tech. In 2019, prior to the formation of CleanCore LLC, Center Ridge Holdings, LLC transferred substantially all of the assets of CleanCore Technologies, LLC to Burlington Solutions, LLC, which then transferred such assets to CleanCore LLC. TetraClean and Food Safety were created to focus on industrial and food safety, respectively. CleanCore LLC, TetraClean, and Food Safety were all under majority control by Burlington Solutions, LLC prior to the acquisition by CC Acquisition Corp. All discussions in this prospectus regarding our business prior to the acquisition reflect the combined business of CleanCore LLC, TetraClean, and Food Safety, our predecessor companies. Prior to the acquisition, we had no operations other than operations relating to our incorporation and organization.

We do not have any subsidiaries.

Industry

Our market encompasses the global household cleaning market, the global food service market, the global commercial and residential laundry market, and the global health care market. According to Report Linker, the global service cleaning market is expected to reach $92.69 billion by 2027, rising at a 7.80% CAGR during the forecast period. The global household cleaners market size was valued at $33.8 billion in 2021 and is expected to expand at a CAGR of 4.9% from 2022 to 2028. We believe this can be credited to the increasing awareness regarding hygiene among consumers. The constant developments in the household cleaner sector are also likely to boost industry demand.

There is a growing demand for green cleaning and eco-friendly products that are effective, safe, and sanitary. According to a report published by Allied Market Research, the global industrial cleaning equipment market amassed revenue of $9.12 billion in 2021, and is expected to hit $14.14 billion by 2031, registering a CAGR of 4.3% from 2022 to 2031. A market report from Research and Markets noted that the global household green cleaning products market is expected to grow to $27.83 at a CAGR of 6.50% from 2017 to 2024.

There is also a high demand in the food and beverage cleaning industry for effective and eco-friendly cleaning suppliers and cleaning solutions. According to an article by Arizton Advisory and Intelligence (“US Food and Beverage Industry Cleaning Services Market Size to Reach Revenues USD 2.4 Billion by 2026,” March 24, 2021), the U.S. food and beverage industry cleaning services market is expected to grow at a CAGR of approximately 7% from 2020 to 2026. We believe the rising awareness in the food and beverage cleaning industry is also encouraging vendors to rely on green cleaning services, which is expected to generate incremental income. Further, driven by the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on customer and provider expectations of cleanliness, the demand for disinfection services in the food and beverage industry is expected to grow at a CAGR of over 6% through 2022.

The cleaning, healthcare and sanitation market is also receiving interest from government agencies, such as British Columbia’s GreenCare Sustainability Strategic Framework, to develop and retain better, environmentally sustainable, and innovative cleaning solutions. Government initiatives have led some transitions into different and alternative cleaning technologies, and environmentally conscious institutions are expected to increase their demand for alternative cleaning products. While traditional disinfectants will continue to be routinely used in hospitals to sterilize and remove viruses and pathogens, we believe there is a place for aqueous ozone technology to be introduced in clinical settings. For instance, Cape Coral Hospital in Florida, along with two other hospitals, integrated aqueous ozone as room deodorizes as part of their environmental services program effort.

Based on the above, the demand for alternative environmentally conscious cleaning solutions is increasing, and we believe our aqueous ozone patented technology effectively cleans and reduces environmental impact, and as a result, that the demand for our products and services will continue to grow.

Products

We offer products and solutions that are marketed for janitorial and sanitation, ice machine cleaning, laundry, and industrial industries. Our products are used in many types of environments including retail establishments, distribution centers, factories, warehouses, restaurants, schools and universities, airports, healthcare, food service, and commercial buildings such as offices, malls, and stores.

Janitorial and Sanitation

Within the janitorial and sanitation sector, we currently manufacture the following products:

•        Fill Stations:    Wall-mounted units that produce on demand aqueous ozone and can fill up spray bottles or buckets for general cleaning, including our 1.0 Fill Station, which can produce one gallon per minute of aqueous ozone for users with smaller cleaning needs, and our 3.0 Fill Station, which can produce three gallons per minute and is designed for commercial and industrial cleaning requirements.

•        POWERcaddy:    A 12-gallon tank that generates aqueous ozone within it, so users are able to generate on-site, on-demand aqueous ozone as they clean. These units come equipped with a spray gun and vacuum hose to properly clean all locations. The POWERcaddy includes a high-pressure spray gun with a pressure per inch boost over 100 for more intense cleaning.

•        POWER MINIcaddy.    A six-gallon tank that generates aqueous ozone within it, so users are able to generate on-site, on-demand aqueous ozone as they clean. This product comes equipped with a spray gun and vacuum hose to properly clean all locations. The MINIcaddy is a smaller version of the POWERcaddy that is popular in smaller areas such as restaurants.

Ice System

The Ice Treatment System establishes a proactive ice machine cleaning program. Cleaning ice machines is a labor intensive and slow process that needs to happen often to stop the buildup of bacteria and mold in the ice machine, the buildup of which could contaminate the ice supply. Ice machines, like other water systems used within indoor environments, create ideal conditions for fostering the growth of bacteria and mold. Pure aqueous ozone is highly effective in cleaning the

inside of ice machines. Our Ice System destroys bacteria by sending 0.50 ppm of aqueous ozone through the ice machine each time it makes more ice. Aqueous ozone proactively prevents the growth of Listeria, Salmonella, E. Coli, Norwalk Virus, and Shigella in the ice and keeps the ice pure while preventing respiratory and gastrointestinal illnesses.

Commercial and Residential Laundry

We believe that the laundry unit effectively oxidizes and deodorizes to extend the life of your laundry. When the laundry ozone unit is connected to a washing machine, the aqueous ozone is used to clean towels and linens. As a result, by avoiding harsh chemicals, the aqueous ozone may expand the life of the linens, reduce dry time, and eliminate skin irritation. The flow rate of the commercial product is five GPM on each line.

Industrial Cleaning Products

We also plan to make aqueous ozone available for industrial applications, primarily for the purpose of keeping industrial plants and production lines clean. We believe this industrial product is safe to be used on food-contact surfaces and has been used in meat packing plants to eliminate the need to stop the packaging line for cleaning. Additional applications for this product may include pet food packaging and manufacturing, canning operations, breweries, wineries, distilleries, and consumer health manufacturers.

We build customized cleaning systems to meet the required needs of our clients. Our system’s volume output ranges from 10-250 GPM of our patented solution. The concentration levels of our aqueous ozone solutions can be adjusted to suit our client’s distinctive needs. Multiple units can be placed in tandem for large volume projects. Concentration levels of ozone can be established at up to 20 ppm of ozone.

Sanitizing and Disinfectant Tablets

Branded “GreenKlean,” these chlorinated tablets kill 99.9% of viruses and bacteria on a surface. These tablets eliminate odors while disinfecting and can be used on a variety of hard non-porous surfaces. We believe each tablet is easy to use, fast dissolving in water, and each tablet provides a single, standardized cleaning dose. The solution created from the tablet when mixed with water may be applied with a spray device, cloth, wipe, sponge, brush, or mop. Each tablet is effective for up to three days in a closed container and should be prepared daily when used in open containers. Generally, there is no need to rinse off the product after cleaning, the surface just needs to fully air dry, with no remaining residue left nor harm to the surfaces’ finish. The tablets are made according to standards of the National Science Foundation, an independent agency of the United States government that supports fundamental research and education in all the non-medical fields of science and engineering, under the “D2” classification, which means these tablets may be used as an antimicrobial agent that would not need to be rinsed, or qualified as a “no rinse sanitizer.”

Manufacturing

We currently source components and raw materials both domestically and overseas from vendors. The components and raw materials are shipped to our facility in Omaha, NE and assembled. We have implemented a strict quality control program which is run by our Director of Operations along with our Lead Production Supervisor. We have inventory control systems at our facilities that track each manufacturing and packaging component as we receive it from our

supply sources through manufacturing and shipment of each product to customers. To facilitate this tracking, most products we sell are bar coded. We believe our distribution capabilities increase our flexibility in responding to our customers’ delivery requirements.

Our manufacturing operations are designed to allow low-cost production of a wide variety of products of different quantities, physical sizes and packaging formats, while maintaining a high level of customer service and quality. Flexible production line changeover capabilities and reduced cycle times allow us to respond quickly to changes in manufacturing schedules and customer demands.

We believe that our manufacturing facilities generally have sufficient capacity to meet our current business requirements and our currently anticipated sales.

Raw Materials and Suppliers

The primary raw materials used in the manufacture of our products are chassis, generators, various sockets, degas cylinders, and a variety of other components. The cost of these raw materials is a key factor in pricing our products.

We source raw materials from multiple regional, national and foreign suppliers. Certain of our materials come from Asian-based suppliers. Raw materials from Asian-based suppliers may be subjected to import duties, depending on various foreign policies of the US government. As such, we continue to explore partnership or supplier opportunities to optimize our costs.

We have historically purchased certain key raw materials from a limited number of suppliers. We purchase raw materials on the basis of purchase orders. While we believe that there is an ample supply of most of the raw materials that we need, in the absence of firm and long-term contracts, we may not be able to obtain a sufficient supply of these raw materials from our existing suppliers or alternates in a timely fashion or at a reasonable cost. If we fail to secure a sufficient supply of key raw materials in a timely fashion, it would result in a significant delay in delivering our products. Furthermore, failure to obtain a sufficient supply of these raw materials at a reasonable cost could also harm our revenue and gross profit margins. Please see “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Our Business and Industry — We have historically depended on a limited number of third parties to supply key raw materials to us and the failure to obtain a sufficient supply of these raw materials in a timely fashion and at reasonable costs could significantly delay our delivery of products” for a description of the risks related to our supplier relationships.

Sales and Marketing

We will utilize media, websites, email lists, social media to reach industries and new potential clients. We actively participate in a variety of trade shows in health care, food service, commercial real estate, and schools and universities where we demonstrate and market our products to thousands of potential and existing customers. We will also use these marketing tactics to grow awareness for our products that we deploy in various cleaning applications. Finally, we will distribute press releases, attend industry conferences, and leverage our relationships with existing customers to grow our client base.

Customers

The most significant sales and distribution channels for our products are currently through distributors who then sell to the janitorial services industries relating to food services, health care, education, and commercial buildings. These distributors provide sales, marketing, product training, service and maintenance for their respective end customers.

For the years ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, two customers, Pro-Link and Sanzonate, accounted for 66% and 62% of revenue, respectively, and we had one customer that accounted for 43% of all accounts receivable at June 30, 2023, and two customers that accounted for 32% of the predecessor’s total accounts receivable. We do not have a long-term contract with Pro-Link, Sanzonate, or most of our other customers, and primarily sell products to customers under individual purchase orders placed by them under their standard terms and conditions of sale. These terms and conditions generally include insurance requirements, representations by us with respect to the quality of our products and our manufacturing process, our obligations to comply with law, and indemnifications by us if we breach our representations or obligations. There is no commitment from any of these customers to purchase from us, or from us to sell to them, any minimum amount of products.

The loss of any major customer could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Our Business and Industry — Our major customers account for a significant portion of our revenue and the loss of any major customer could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.”

Competition

The janitorial services industry is highly competitive and has many established, large and small global competitors. We compete against a wide range of cleaning-focused businesses. Some of our current competitors may be larger than we are, have larger customer bases, greater brand recognition and operating histories, a dominant or more secure position, broader geographic scope, volume, scale, resources, and more market share than we do, or offer products and services we do not offer. Other competitors are smaller, younger, companies that may be more agile in responding quickly to new products or changes in the market.

Our major competitors for our products are traditional cleaning companies such as Proctor and Gamble and Unilever, which are companies that develop and manufacture traditional chemical cleaning products. However, to the best of our knowledge, none of them have an aqueous ozone technology. We also compete with companies in the aqueous ozone cleaning market such as Tennant Company, Tersano Inc., and Enozo Technologies Inc and O3 Waterworks. Each of these companies also produces devices to make aqueous ozone, and Tersano Inc. and Enozo Technologies Inc. produce aqueous ozone products for both personal and professional use.

We also compete with a multitude of foreign, regional, and local competitors that vary by market. If our existing or future competitors seek to gain or retain market share by reducing prices, we may be required to lower our prices, which would adversely affect our operating results. Similarly, if customers or potential customers perceive the products or services offered by our existing or future competitors to be of higher quality than ours or part of a broader product mix, our revenues may decline, which would adversely affect our operating results.

Competitive Strengths

We believe that the following competitive strengths contribute to our success and differentiate us from our competitors:

•        We have numerous patents for our technology.    We currently have 15 patents for our technology. These patents cover the functions of our products that allow our machines to produce ozone in the form of nanobubbles.

•        We have experience in the cleaning industry.    Our acquisition and subsequent business with aqueous ozone products have led us to maintain and uphold significant and meaningful relationships throughout the service cleaning industry with various providers of cleaning services.

•        We believe that our products eliminate the need for harsh chemicals and reduce costs of labor in janitorial services.    Various chemical solutions for cleaning are costly, but with the aqueous ozone solution, we believe hospitals may reduce expenditures by switching to the aqueous ozone technology. Our customers in janitorial services have reported a reduced time in cleaning and sanitizing, which saves our customers on labor costs.

•        There is no chemical residue left after using our solution, and we believe it causes less irritation compared to typical cleaning agents.    When cleaning with the aqueous ozone solution, it may remove and deodorize surfaces without using harsh caustic chemicals, and only water remains on the surface after cleaning, not any chemical residue that may require additional rinsing. As a result, our clients may report less eye, skin, and respiratory irritation after switching to our cleaning products.

•        Our product is environmentally conscious.    Our goal is to reduce packaging waste when replacing traditional cleaners and their packaging with aqueous ozone dispensers. We believe our product also reduces water consumption while cleaning. A two-year study at a major Vancouver hospital found that clients use 90% less water since the aqueous ozone technology removes the need to flush the cleaning dispensing system between various chemical cleaning agents. Overall, our products may reduce the carbon footprint of a janitorial service business when used in lieu of traditional cleaning methods.

Growth Strategies

The key elements of our strategy to grow our business include:

•        Targeting key industries.    Our team has built relationships throughout the service cleaning industry, and we have experience. Presently, we sell our products mainly through geographic and strategic distributors across the United States and Europe in the janitorial services sector. Our goal is to expand and provide our products to more health care, education, food service, and commercial buildings industries.

•        Deploy marketing strategies that raise awareness for our cleaning products.    We plan to expand our marketing efforts to increase awareness of our products. Our strategy includes attending industry conferences and working with salespeople to start the use of our product in new areas.

•        Create partnerships through exclusive licensing for distributors and a direct sales model.    We currently license our technology overseas and have an exclusive licensing agreement for products sold in Europe. We anticipate evolving the business model into a hybrid of both traditional distributors and a direct sales model with key salespeople penetrating the health care, education, food service, and commercial buildings industries. Our goal is also to create partnerships with some of the largest sports and entertainment arenas in the world, providing end-to-end sales and service.

Research and Development

We are continuing our research and development into specific product applications across our core janitorial and sanitation product line, specifically aligning our new direct sales and support strategy by evolving the existing product lines to capture new “real time” testing evaluations.

Previously, we had conducted an adenosine triphosphate study on the Clemson University Core buildings to determine the cleaning effect of aqueous ozone and our products.

We are also active in developing consumer-focused products that can be sold and marketed online and in large box retail stores across the country. We are exploring the development of our products for expanded usage in key market segments such as health care, food service, and commercial cleaning industries.

Intellectual Property

Currently, we hold 15 patents and have two patents pending, with one pending in the United States and another pending in Canada. We own 9 patents in the United States, 1 patent in Mexico, 4 patents in Canada, and 1 patent in Australia. These patents cover the functions of our products that allow our machines to produce the ozone in the form of nanobubbles. Each of our United States patents are utility patents, and are owned by us, either under the name “CC Acquisition Corp,” our previous name, or “CleanCore Solutions, Inc.” We do not currently license any patents. We are in the process of transferring each of the patents to our current name, “CleanCore Solutions, Inc.”

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

To the best of our knowledge, except as described below, none of our directors or executive officers has, during the past ten years:

•        been convicted in a criminal proceeding or been subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offences);

•        had any bankruptcy petition filed by or against the business or property of the person, or of any partnership, corporation or business association of which he was a general partner or executive officer, either at the time of the bankruptcy filing or within two years prior to that time;

•        been subject to any order, judgment, or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction or federal or state authority, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting, his involvement in any type of business, securities, futures, commodities, investment, banking, savings and loan, or insurance activities, or to be associated with persons engaged in any such activity;

•        been found by a court of competent jurisdiction in a civil action or by the Securities and Exchange Commission or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended, or vacated;

Corporate Governance

Governance Structure

Currently, our Chief Executive Officer is also our Chairman of the Board. Our board believes that, at this time, having a combined Chief Executive Officer and Chairman is the appropriate leadership structure for our company. In making this determination, the board considered, among other matters, Mr. Atkinson’s experience and tenure of having founded our company and believed that Mr. Atkinson is highly qualified to act as both Chairman and Chief Executive Officer due to his experience, knowledge, and personality. Among the benefits of a combined Chairman/Chief Executive Officer considered by the board is that such structure promotes clearer leadership and direction for our company and allows for a single, focused chain of command to execute our strategic initiatives and business plans.

The Board’s Role in Risk Oversight

The board of directors oversees that the assets of our company are properly safeguarded, that the appropriate financial and other controls are maintained, and that our business is conducted wisely and in compliance with applicable laws and regulations and proper governance. Included in these responsibilities is the board’s oversight of the various risks facing our company. In this regard, our board seeks to understand and oversee critical business risks. Our board does not view risk in isolation. Risks are considered in virtually every business decision and as part of our business strategy. Our board recognizes that it is neither possible nor prudent to eliminate all risk. Indeed, purposeful and appropriate risk-taking is essential for our company to be competitive on a global basis and to achieve its objectives.

While the board oversees risk management, company management is charged with managing risk. Management communicates routinely with the board and individual directors on the significant risks identified and how they are being managed. Directors are free to, and indeed often do, communicate directly with senior management.

Our board administers its risk oversight function as a whole by making risk oversight a matter of collective consideration; however, much of the work will be delegated to committees, which will meet regularly and report back to the full board. We have established a standing audit committee, compensation committee and nominating and corporate governance committee of our board of directors. The audit committee will oversee risks related to our financial statements, the financial reporting process, accounting and legal matters, the compensation committee will evaluate the risks and rewards associated with our compensation philosophy and programs, and the nominating and corporate governance committee will evaluate risk associated with management decisions and strategic direction.

Independent Directors

NYSE American’s rules generally require that a majority of an issuer’s board of directors must consist of independent directors. Our board of directors currently consists of two directors, Messrs. Atkinson and Enholm, who are not independent within the meaning of the NYSE American’s rules. We have entered into independent director agreements with James M. Grisham, Daniel Nelson and Ben VandenWymelenberg, pursuant to which they have been appointed to serve as independent directors effective automatically upon the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. As a result of these appointments, we anticipate that our board of directors upon the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part will consist of five (5) directors, three (3) of whom will be independent within the meaning of NYSE American’s rules.

Committees of the Board of Directors

We have established a standing audit committee, compensation committee and nominating and corporate governance committee of our board of directors, each with its own charter approved by the board. Upon completion of this offering, we intend to make each committee’s charter available on our website at www.cleancoresol.com.

In addition, our board of directors may, from time to time, designate one or more additional committees, which shall have the duties and powers granted to it by our board of directors.

Audit Committee

James M. Grisham, Daniel Nelson and Ben VandenWymelenberg, each of whom satisfies the “independence” requirements of Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act and NYSE American’s rules, have been appointed to serve on our audit committee, effective automatically upon the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, with Mr. Nelson serving as the chair. Mr. Nelson qualifies as “audit committee financial expert.” The audit committee will oversee our accounting and financial reporting processes and the audits of the financial statements of our company.

The audit committee will be responsible for, among other things: (i) retaining and overseeing our independent accountants; (ii) assisting the board in its oversight of the integrity of our financial statements, the qualifications, independence and performance of our independent auditors and our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements; (iii) reviewing and approving the plan and scope of the internal and external audit; (iv) pre-approving any audit and non-audit services provided by our independent auditors; (v) approving the fees to be paid to our independent auditors; (vi) reviewing with our chief executive officer and chief financial officer and independent auditors the adequacy and effectiveness of our internal controls; (vii) reviewing hedging transactions; and (viii) reviewing and approving related party transactions; and (ix) reviewing and assessing annually the audit committee’s performance and the adequacy of its charter.

Compensation Committee

James M. Grisham, Daniel Nelson and Ben VandenWymelenberg, each of whom satisfies the “independence” requirements of NYSE American’s rules, have been appointed to serve on our compensation committee, effective automatically upon the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, with Mr. Grisham serving as the chair. The members of the compensation committee will also be “non-employee directors” within the meaning of Section 16 of the Exchange Act. The compensation committee will assist the board in reviewing and approving the compensation structure, including all forms of compensation relating to our directors and executive officers.

The compensation committee will be responsible for, among other things: (i) reviewing and approving the remuneration of our executive officers; (ii) determining the compensation of our independent directors; (iii) making recommendations to the board regarding equity-based and incentive compensation plans, policies and programs; and (iv) reviewing and assessing annually the compensation committee’s performance and the adequacy of its charter.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

James M. Grisham, Daniel Nelson and Ben VandenWymelenberg, each of whom satisfies the “independence” requirements of NYSE American’s rules, have been appointed to serve on our nominating and corporate governance committee, effective automatically upon the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, with Mr. VandenWymelenberg serving as the chair. The nominating and corporate governance committee will assist the board of directors in selecting individuals qualified to become our directors and in determining the composition of the board and its committees.

The nominating and corporate governance committee will be responsible for, among other things: (i) recommending the number of directors to comprise our board; (ii) identifying and evaluating individuals qualified to become members of the board and soliciting recommendations for director nominees from our Chief Executive Officer and Board Chair; (iii) recommending to the board the director nominees for each annual stockholders’ meeting; (iv) recommending to the board the candidates for filling vacancies that may occur between annual stockholders’ meetings; (v) reviewing independent director compensation and board processes, self-evaluations and policies; (vi) overseeing compliance with our code of ethics; and (vii) monitoring developments in the law and practice of corporate governance.

The nominating and corporate governance committee’s methods for identifying candidates for election to our board of directors (other than those proposed by our stockholders, as discussed below) will include the solicitation of ideas for possible candidates from a number of sources — members of our board of directors, our executives, individuals personally known to the members of our board of directors, and other research. The nominating and corporate governance committee may also, from time-to-time, retain one or more third-party search firms to identify suitable candidates.

In making director recommendations, the nominating and corporate governance committee may consider some or all of the following factors: (i) the candidate’s judgment, skill, experience with other organizations of comparable purpose, complexity and size, and subject to similar legal restrictions and oversight; (ii) the interplay of the candidate’s experience with the experience of other board members; (iii) the extent to which the candidate would be a desirable addition to the board and any committee thereof; (iv) whether or not the person has any relationships that might impair his or her independence; and (v) the candidate’s ability to contribute to the effective management of our company, taking into account the needs of our company and such factors as the individual’s experience, perspective, skills and knowledge of the industry in which we operate.

A stockholder may nominate one or more persons for election as a director at an annual meeting of stockholders if the stockholder complies with the notice and information provisions contained in our bylaws. Such notice must be in writing to our company not less than 120 days and not more than 150 days prior to the anniversary date of the preceding year’s annual meeting of stockholders or as otherwise required by the requirements of the Exchange Act. In addition, stockholders furnishing such notice must be a holder of record on both (i) the date of delivering such notice and (ii) the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting.

Code of Ethics

We have adopted a code of ethics that applies to all of our directors, officers and employees, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer. Such code of ethics addresses, among other things, honesty and ethical conduct, conflicts of interest, compliance with laws, regulations and policies, including disclosure requirements under the federal securities laws, and reporting of violations of the code.

We are required to disclose any amendment to, or waiver from, a provision of our code of ethics applicable to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer, controller, or persons performing similar functions. We intend to use our website as a method of disseminating this disclosure, as permitted by applicable SEC rules. Any such disclosure will be posted to our website within four (4) business days following the date of any such amendment to, or waiver from, a provision of our code of ethics.

2022 Equity Incentive Plan

On September 16, 2022, our board of directors adopted our 2022 Equity Incentive Plan, or the Plan, which was adopted by stockholders on November 18, 2022. The following is a summary of certain significant features of the Plan. The information which follows is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the Plan document itself, which is filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.

Purposes of Plan:    The purposes of the Plan are to advance our interests and the interests of our stockholders by providing an incentive to attract, retain and reward persons performing services for us and by motivating such persons to contribute to our growth and profitability.

Types of Awards:    Awards that may be granted include: (a) incentive stock options, (b) non-qualified stock options, (c) stock appreciation rights, (d) restricted awards, (e) performance share awards, and (f) performance compensation awards. These awards offer our officers, employees, consultants and directors the possibility of future value, depending on the long-term price appreciation of our common stock and the award holder’s continuing service with our company.

Administration of the Plan:    The Plan is currently administered by our board of directors and will be administered by our compensation committee upon its establishment. Among other things, the administrator has the authority to select persons who will receive awards, determine the types of awards and the number of shares to be covered by awards, and to establish the terms, conditions, performance criteria, restrictions and other provisions of awards. The administrator has authority to establish, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan.

Eligible Recipients:    Persons eligible to receive awards under the Plan will be those employees, consultants, and directors of our company and its subsidiaries who are selected by the administrator.

Shares Available Under the Plan:    The maximum number of shares of our class B common stock that may be delivered to participants under the Plan is 1,736,819, subject to adjustment for certain corporate changes affecting the shares, such as stock splits. Shares subject to an award under the Plan for which the award is canceled, forfeited or expires again become available for grants under the Plan. Shares subject to an award that is settled in cash will not again be made available for grants under the Plan.

Stock Options:

General.    Stock options give the option holder the right to acquire from us a designated number of shares at a purchase price that is fixed at the time of the grant of the option. Stock options granted may be tax-qualified stock options (so-called “incentive stock options”) or non-qualified stock options. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the administrator has the authority to determine all grants of stock options. That determination will include: (i) the number of shares subject to any option; (ii) the exercise price per share; (iii) the expiration date of the option; (iv) the manner, time and date of permitted exercise; (v) other restrictions, if any, on the option or the shares underlying the option; and (vi) any other terms and conditions as the administrator may determine.

Option Price.    The exercise price for stock options will be determined at the time of grant. Normally, the exercise price will not be less than the fair market value on the date of the grant. As a matter of tax law, the exercise price for any incentive stock option awarded may not be less than the fair market value of the shares on the date of grant. However, incentive stock option grants to any person owning more than 10% of our voting stock must have an exercise price of not less than 110% of the fair market value on the grant date.

Other Material Provisions:    Awards will be evidenced by a written agreement, in such form as may be approved by the administrator. In the event of various changes to the capitalization of our company, such as stock splits, stock dividends and similar re-capitalizations, an appropriate adjustment will be made by the administrator to the number of shares covered by outstanding awards or to the exercise price of such awards. The administrator is also permitted to include in the written agreement provisions that provide for certain changes in the award in the event of a change of control of our company, including acceleration of vesting. Except as otherwise determined by the administrator at the date of grant, awards will not be transferable, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Prior to any award distribution, we are permitted to deduct or withhold amounts sufficient to satisfy any employee withholding tax requirements. Our board also has the authority, at any time, to discontinue the granting of awards. The board also has the authority to alter or amend the Plan or any outstanding award or may terminate the Plan as to further grants, provided that no amendment will, without the approval of our stockholders, to the extent that such approval is required by law or the rules of an applicable exchange, increase the number of shares available under the Plan, change the persons eligible for awards under the Plan, extend the time within which awards may be made, or amend the provisions of the Plan related to amendments. No amendment that would adversely affect any outstanding award made under the Plan can be made without the consent of the holder of such award.

CURRENT RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Transactions with Related Persons

The following includes a summary of transactions since the beginning of our 2022 fiscal year, or any currently proposed transaction, in which we were or are to be a participant and the amount involved exceeded or exceeds the lesser of $120,000 or one percent of the average of our total assets at year-end for the last two completed fiscal years, and in which any related person had or will have a direct or indirect material interest (other than compensation described under “Executive Compensation” above). We believe the terms obtained or consideration that we paid or received, as applicable, in connection with the transactions described below were comparable to terms available or the amounts that would be paid or received, as applicable, in arm’s-length transactions.

On October 4, 2022, we issued a promissory note to each of Matthew Atkinson, our Chief Executive Officer, and Clayton Adams, our President at such time, in the principal amount of $104,450 each for a total of $208,900. These notes bear interest at a rate of 5% per annum beginning on the 30th day after issuance and are due on the 60th day following written demand from the holder. As of September 30, 2023, the outstanding principal balance of these notes is $208,900 and they have accrued interest of $10,330.

On July 27, 2023, we agreed to purchase approximately $105,607 worth of inventory from Nebraska C. Ozone, LLC, a related party business owned by Lisa Roskens, a significant stockholder and the principal officer of Burlington Capital, LLC, due to an open purchase order that our predecessor had with an inventory vendor that was not included in the liabilities assumed from our predecessor per the terms of the acquisition purchase agreement. The inventory is to be purchased as needed, consistent with other inventory purchases. However, if the entire $105,000 amount is not purchased by March 31, 2024, the balance at that date begins accruing interest at a rate of seven percent (7%) per annum until it is paid in full.

On September 13, 2023, we signed an extension agreement with Burlington Capital, LLC, a significant stockholder, for the promissory note described elsewhere in this prospectus. The extension agreement requires that such promissory note will accrue interest at a rate of 10% from September 13, 2023 and is now due and payable on the earlier of (a) the closing of a firm commitment initial public offering and concurrent listing on a national securities exchange or (b) December 17, 2023.

Promoters and Certain Control Persons

Matthew Atkinson, our founder and Chief Executive Officer, and Clayton Adams, our founder, may each be deemed as a “promoter” as defined by Rule 405 of the Securities Act.

In addition, in connection with the formation of our company, Messrs. Atkinson and Adams each received 500,000 shares of class A common stock, at a purchase price of $0.0001 per share, 1,000,000 shares of series seed preferred stock, at a purchase price of $0.25 per share, and stock options for purchase 1,000,000 shares of class A common stock with an exercise price of $0.25.

PRINCIPAL STOCKHOLDERS

The following table sets forth certain information with respect to the beneficial ownership of our common stock as of November 29, 2023 for (i) each of our executive officers and directors; (ii) all of our executive officers and directors as a group; and (iii) each other stockholder known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our outstanding common stock. The following table assumes that the underwriters have not exercised the over-allotment option.

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with SEC rules and generally includes voting or investment power with respect to securities. For purposes of this table, a person or group of persons is deemed to have “beneficial ownership” of any shares of common stock that such person or any member of such group has the right to acquire within sixty (60) days of November 29, 2023. For purposes of computing the percentage of outstanding shares of our common stock held by each person or group of persons named above, any shares that such person or persons has the right to acquire within sixty (60) days of November 29, 2023 are deemed to be outstanding for such person, but not deemed to be outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. The inclusion herein of any shares listed as beneficially owned does not constitute an admission of beneficial ownership by any person. The share ownership numbers after the offering for the beneficial owners indicated below exclude any potential purchases that may be made by such persons in this offering.

Unless otherwise indicated, the address of each beneficial owner listed in the table below is c/o our company, 5920 South 118th Circle, Suite 2, Omaha, NE 68137.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

General

The following description summarizes important terms of the classes of our capital stock. This summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the provisions of our articles of incorporation, the certificate of designation for our series seed preferred stock and our bylaws, which have been filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.

Our authorized capital stock currently consists of 350,000,000 shares, consisting of (i) 300,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of which 50,000,000 shares are designated class A common stock and 250,000,000 shares are designated as class B common stock; and (ii) 50,000,000 shares of “blank check” preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of which 4,000,000 are designated as series seed preferred stock.

As of the date of this prospectus, there were issued and outstanding 350,000 shares of class A common stock held by one holder of record, 3,105,940 shares of class B common stock held by twenty-two holders of record and 3,000,000 shares of series seed preferred stock held by two holders of record. Concurrent with the completion of this offering, 3,000,000 shares of series seed preferred stock will automatically convert into 3,000,000 shares of our class A common stock.

Common Stock

The holders of class A common stock are entitled to ten (10) votes for each share of class A common stock held of record and the holders of class B common stock are entitled to one (1) vote for each share of class B common stock held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders. A share of class A common stock may be voluntarily converted into a share of class B common stock. A transfer of a share of class A common stock will result in its automatic conversion into a share of class B common stock upon such transfer, subject to certain exceptions for (i) transfers to immediate family members, or to trusts for the exclusive benefit of immediate family members, for no consideration, including by will or laws of succession, (ii) a transfer to another holder of class A common stock, or (iii) transfers approved by a majority of disinterest directors. The class B common stock is not convertible. Other than as to voting and conversion rights, our class A common stock and class B common stock have the same rights and preferences and rank equally, share ratably and are identical in all respects as to all matters.

Under our articles of incorporation and bylaws, any corporate action to be taken by vote of stockholders other than for election of directors shall be authorized by the affirmative vote of the majority of votes cast. Directors are elected by a plurality of votes. Stockholders do not have cumulative voting rights.

Subject to preferences that may be applicable to any then-outstanding preferred stock, holders of common stock are entitled to receive ratably those dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by the board of directors out of legally available funds. In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, holders of common stock will be entitled to share ratably in the net assets legally available for distribution to stockholders after the payment of all of our debts and other liabilities and the satisfaction of any liquidation preference granted to the holders of any then-outstanding shares of preferred stock.

Holders of common stock have no preemptive, conversion or subscription rights and there are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the common stock. The rights, preferences and privileges of the holders of common stock are subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of shares of any series of preferred stock.

Preferred Stock

Our articles of incorporation authorize our board to issue up to 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series, to determine the designations and the powers, preferences and rights and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof, including the dividend rights, conversion or exchange rights, voting rights (including the number of votes per share), redemption rights and terms, liquidation preferences, sinking fund provisions and the number of shares constituting the series. Our board of directors could, without stockholder approval, issue preferred stock with voting and other rights that could adversely affect the voting power and other rights of the holders of common stock and which could have the effect of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or of discouraging a third party from attempting to acquire, a majority of our outstanding voting stock.

As noted above, we have designated 4,000,000 shares of our preferred stock as series seed preferred stock, of which 3,000,000 shares are outstanding as of the date of this prospectus. All 3,000,000 shares of series seed preferred stock will automatically convert into 3,000,000 shares of our class A common stock upon completion of this offering in accordance with the terms of the certificate of designation for the series seed preferred stock.

Stock Options

As of the date of this prospectus, we have issued options to purchase an aggregate of 2,000,000 shares of class A common stock at an exercise price of $0.25 per share and options to purchase 770,000 shares of class B common stock at a weighted average exercise price of $2.21 per share.

Warrants

We have issued warrants for the purchase of 46,263 shares of class B common stock to Boustead Securities, LLC, the representative of the underwriters for this offering, as part of their compensation earned in connection with the private placement described elsewhere in this prospectus. The warrants are exercisable for a period of five years at an exercise price of $1.74 (subject to adjustments for stock dividends, stock splits, mergers, consolidations and similar transactions) and may be exercised on a cashless basis. Boustead Securities, LLC has agreed to increase the exercise price of the foregoing warrants to 125% of the public offering price per share in this offering.

Representative’s Warrants

Upon the closing of this offering, there will be up to 105,000 shares of class B common stock (or 120,750 shares if the underwriters exercise the overallotment option in full) issuable upon exercise of the representative’s warrants. See “Underwriting — Representative’s Warrants” below for a description of the representative’s warrants.

Anti-Takeover Provisions

Provisions of the Nevada Revised Statutes, our articles of incorporation and our bylaws could have the effect of delaying or preventing a third-party from acquiring us, even if the acquisition would benefit our stockholders. Such provisions of the Nevada Revised Statutes, our articles of incorporation and our bylaws are intended to enhance the likelihood of continuity and stability in the composition of our board of directors and in the policies formulated by the board of directors and to discourage certain types of transactions that may involve an actual or threatened change of control of our company. These provisions are designed to reduce our vulnerability to an unsolicited proposal for a takeover that does not contemplate the acquisition of all of our outstanding shares, or an unsolicited proposal for the restructuring or sale of all or part of our company.

Dual Class Structure

Under our articles of incorporation, we are authorized to issue two classes of common stock — class A common stock and class B common stock. The class A common stock is entitled to ten votes per share and the class B common stock is entitled to one vote per share on any proposals requiring or requesting stockholder approval. All of our outstanding class A common stock is currently held by Matthew Atkinson, our Chief Executive Officer. In addition, Mr. Atkinson and a third party, Bethor Limited, also hold all of our outstanding series seed preferred stock, which will automatically convert into class A common stock upon completion of this offering. Accordingly, upon completion of this offering, these stockholders will collectively be able to exercise approximately 88% of our total voting power (with Mr. Atkinson controlling approximately 35% and Bethor Limited controlling approximately 53%). This concentrated control may limit or preclude the ability of others to influence corporate matters, including significant business decisions for the foreseeable future.

Authorized but Unissued Shares

Our authorized but unissued shares of common stock are available for our board of directors to issue without stockholder approval, subject to NYSE American’s rules. We may use these additional shares for a variety of corporate purposes, including raising additional capital, corporate acquisitions and employee stock plans. The existence of our authorized but unissued shares of common stock could render it more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of our company by means of a proxy context, tender offer, merger or other transaction since our board of directors can issue large amounts of capital stock as part of a defense to a take-over challenge. In addition, we have authorized in

our articles of incorporation 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock. Our board acting alone and without approval of our stockholders, subject to NYSE American’s rules, can designate and issue one or more series of preferred stock containing super-voting provisions, enhanced economic rights, rights to elect directors, or other dilutive features, that could be utilized as part of a defense to a take-over challenge.

Bylaws

In addition, various provisions of our bylaws may also have an anti-takeover effect. These provisions may delay, defer or prevent a tender offer or takeover attempt of our company that a stockholder might consider in his or her best interest, including attempts that might result in a premium over the market price for the shares held by our stockholders. Our bylaws may be adopted, amended or repealed only by our board of directors. Our bylaws also contain limitations as to who may call special meetings as well as require advance notice of stockholder matters to be brought at a meeting. Additionally, our bylaws also provide that no director may be removed by less than a two-thirds vote of the issued and outstanding shares entitled to vote on the removal. Our bylaws also permit the board of directors to establish the number of directors and fill any vacancies and newly created directorships. These provisions will prevent a stockholder from increasing the size of our board of directors and gaining control of our board of directors by filling the resulting vacancies with its own nominees.

Our bylaws also establish an advance notice procedure for stockholder proposals to be brought before an annual meeting of our stockholders, including proposed nominations of persons for election to the board of directors. Stockholders at an annual meeting will only be able to consider proposals or nominations specified in the notice of meeting or brought before the meeting by or at the direction of the board of directors or by a stockholder who was a stockholder of record on the record date for the meeting, who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who has given us timely written notice, in proper form, of the stockholder’s intention to bring that business before the meeting. Although our bylaws do not give the board of directors the power to approve or disapprove stockholder nominations of candidates or proposals regarding other business to be conducted at a special or annual meeting, our bylaws may have the effect of precluding the conduct of certain business at a meeting if the proper procedures are not followed or may discourage or deter a potential acquirer from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect its own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to obtain control of our company.

Cumulative Voting

Furthermore, neither the holders of our common stock nor the holders of our preferred stock have cumulative voting rights in the election of our directors. The combination of the present ownership by a few stockholders of a significant portion of our issued and outstanding common stock and lack of cumulative voting makes it more difficult for other stockholders to replace our board of directors or for a third party to obtain control of our company by replacing its board of directors.

Nevada Anti-Takeover Statutes

Pursuant to our articles of incorporation, we have elected not to be governed by the terms and provisions of Nevada’s control share acquisition laws (Nevada Revised Statutes 78.378 – 78.3793), which prohibit an acquirer, under certain circumstances, from voting shares of a corporation’s stock after crossing specific threshold ownership percentages, unless the acquirer obtains the approval of the issuing corporation’s stockholders. The first such threshold is the acquisition of at least one-fifth but less than one-third of the outstanding voting power.

Pursuant to our articles of incorporation, we have also elected not to be governed by the terms and provisions of Nevada’s combination with interested stockholders statute (Nevada Revised Statutes 78.411 – 78.444) which prohibits an “interested stockholder” from entering into a “combination” with the corporation, unless certain conditions are met. An “interested stockholder” is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, beneficially owns (or within the prior two years, did beneficially own) 10% or more of the corporation’s voting stock, or otherwise has the ability to influence or control such corporation’s management or policies.

Transfer Agent and Registrar

The transfer agent for our class B common stock is Securities Transfer Corporation. The address for Securities Transfer Corporation is 2901 N Dallas Parkway, Suite 380, Plano, Texas 75093, and the telephone number is (469) 633-0101.

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

Before this offering, there has not been a public market for shares of our class B common stock. Future sales of substantial amounts of shares of our class B common stock, including shares issued upon the conversion of convertible notes, the exercise of outstanding options and warrants, in the public market after this offering, or the possibility of these sales occurring, could cause the prevailing market price for our class B common stock to fall or impair our ability to raise equity capital in the future.

Immediately following the closing of this offering, we will have 4,605,940 shares of class B common stock issued and outstanding. In the event the underwriters exercise the over-allotment option in full, we will have 4,830,940 shares of class B common stock issued and outstanding. The class B common stock sold in this offering will be freely tradable without restriction or further registration or qualification under the Securities Act.

Previously issued shares of common stock that were not offered and sold in this offering, as well as shares issuable upon the exercise of warrants and subject to employee stock options, are or will be upon issuance, “restricted securities,” as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act. These restricted securities are eligible for public sale only if such public resale is registered under the Securities Act or if the resale qualifies for an exemption from registration under Rule 144 or Rule 701 under the Securities Act, which are summarized below.

Rule 144

In general, a person who has beneficially owned restricted shares of our class B common stock for at least twelve months, or at least six months in the event we have been a reporting company under the Exchange Act for at least ninety (90) days before the sale, would be entitled to sell such securities, provided that such person is not deemed to be an affiliate of ours at the time of sale or to have been an affiliate of ours at any time during the ninety (90) days preceding the sale. A person who is an affiliate of ours at such time would be subject to additional restrictions, by which such person would be entitled to sell within any three-month period only a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of the following:

•        1% of the number of shares of our class B common stock then outstanding; or

•        1% of the average weekly trading volume of our class B common stock during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing by such person of a notice on Form 144 with respect to the sale;

provided that, in each case, we are subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act for at least 90 days before the sale. Rule 144 trades must also comply with the manner of sale, notice and other provisions of Rule 144, to the extent applicable.

Rule 701

In general, Rule 701 allows a stockholder who purchased shares of our capital stock pursuant to a written compensatory plan or contract and who is not deemed to have been an affiliate of ours during the immediately preceding 90 days to sell those shares in reliance upon Rule 144, but without being required to comply with the public information, holding period, volume limitation or notice provisions of Rule 144. All holders of Rule 701 shares, however, are required to wait until ninety (90) days after the date of this prospectus before selling shares pursuant to Rule 701.

Lock-Up Agreements

We and our officers, directors and holders of 5% or greater of our outstanding class A common stock and class B common stock have agreed to be locked up for a period of twelve months from the date on which the trading of our class B common stock commences. Holders of 1-4.99% of our outstanding common stock agreed to be locked up for a period of six months from the date on which the trading of our class B common stock commences; provided that if the aggregate of such holders shares were to equal or exceed 20% of our outstanding common stock on a fully diluted basis prior to the completing of this offering, then their lock up period shall be for twelve months from the date of trading of our class B common stock commences. Holders of less than 1% of our outstanding common stock are not subject to any lock up; provided that if the aggregate of such holders shares were to equal or exceed 5% of our outstanding common stock on a fully diluted basis prior to the completing of this offering, then their lock up period shall be for six months from the date of trading of our class B common stock commences. See “Underwriting” for more information.

MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS FOR NON-U.S. HOLDERS

The following is a summary of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of our common stock. This summary is limited to Non-U.S. Holders (as defined below) that hold our common stock as a capital asset (generally, property held for investment) for U.S. federal income tax purposes. This summary does not discuss all of the aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be relevant to a Non-U.S. Holder in light of the Non-U.S. Holder’s particular investment or other circumstances. Accordingly, all prospective Non-U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the U.S. federal, state, local and non-United States tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of our common stock.

This summary is based on provisions of the Code, applicable U.S. Treasury regulations and administrative and judicial interpretations, all as in effect or in existence on the date of this prospectus. Subsequent developments in U.S. federal income tax law, including changes in law or differing interpretations, which may be applied retroactively, could alter the U.S. federal income tax consequences of owning and disposing of our common stock as described in this summary. There can be no assurance that the IRS will not take a contrary position with respect to one or more of the tax consequences described herein and we have not obtained, nor do we intend to obtain, a ruling from the IRS with respect to the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the ownership or disposition of our common stock.

As used in this summary, the term “Non-U.S. Holder” means a beneficial owner of our common stock that is not, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

•        an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States;

•        a corporation (or other entity treated as a corporation) created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof, or the District of Columbia;

•        an entity or arrangement treated as a partnership;

•        an estate whose income is includible in gross income for U.S. federal income tax purposes regardless of its source; or

•        a trust, if (1) a United States court is able to exercise primary supervision over the trust’s administration and one or more “United States persons” (within the meaning of the Code) has the authority to control all of the trust’s substantial decisions, or (2) the trust has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations to be treated as a United States person.

If an entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds our common stock, the tax treatment of a partner in such a partnership generally will depend upon the status of the partner, the activities of the partnership and certain determinations made at the partner level. Partnerships, and partners in partnerships, that hold our common stock should consult their own tax advisors as to the particular U.S. federal income tax consequences of owning and disposing of our common stock that are applicable to them.

This summary does not consider any specific facts or circumstances that may apply to a Non-U.S. Holder, including the impact of the Medicare contribution tax on net investment income and the alternative minimum tax, and does not address any special tax rules that may apply to particular Non-U.S. Holders, including, without limitation:

•        a Non-U.S. Holder that is a financial institution, insurance company, tax-exempt organization, pension plan, broker, dealer or trader in stocks or securities, foreign currency dealer, U.S. covered expatriate, controlled foreign corporation or passive foreign investment company;

•        a Non-U.S. Holder holding our common stock as part of a conversion, constructive sale, wash sale or other integrated transaction or a hedge, straddle or synthetic security;

•        a Non-U.S. Holder that holds or receives our common stock pursuant to the exercise of any employee stock option or otherwise as compensation; or

•        a Non-U.S. Holder that at any time owns, directly, indirectly or constructively, 5% or more of our outstanding common stock.

If a Non-U.S. Holder receives payments of the proceeds of a disposition of our common stock to or through a United States office of a broker, the payment will be subject to both U.S. backup withholding and information reporting unless the Non-U.S. Holder provides to the broker a properly executed IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or other applicable form) certifying under penalties of perjury that the Non-U.S. Holder is not a United States person, or the Non-U.S. Holder otherwise qualifies for an exemption.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be credited against the Non-U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability (which may result in the Non-U.S. Holder being entitled to a refund), provided that the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

FATCA Withholding

The Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act and related U.S. Treasury guidance (commonly referred to as FATCA) impose U.S. federal withholding tax at a rate of 30% on payments to certain foreign entities of (i) U.S. source dividends (including dividends paid on our common stock) and (ii) (subject to the proposed U.S. Treasury Regulations discussed below) the gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of property that produces U.S. source dividends (including sales or other dispositions of our common stock). This withholding tax applies to a foreign entity, whether acting as a beneficial owner or an intermediary, unless such foreign entity complies with (i) certain information reporting requirements regarding its U.S. account holders and its U.S. owners and (ii) certain withholding obligations applicable to certain payments to its account holders and certain other persons. Accordingly, the entity through which a Non-U.S. Holder holds our common stock will affect the determination of whether such withholding is required. Foreign financial institutions located in jurisdictions that have an intergovernmental agreement with the United States governing FATCA may be subject to different rules.

Under the applicable U.S. Treasury Regulations and administrative guidance, withholding under FATCA generally will apply to payments of dividends on our common stock. While withholding under FATCA would have applied also to payments of gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of stock on or after January 1, 2019, proposed U.S. Treasury Regulations eliminate FATCA withholding on payments of gross proceeds. Taxpayers generally may rely on these proposed U.S. Treasury Regulations until final U.S. Treasury Regulations are issued.

Non-U.S. Holders are encouraged to consult their tax advisors regarding the possible application of FATCA in their particular circumstances.

UNDERWRITING

In connection with this offering, we expect to enter into an underwriting agreement with Boustead Securities, LLC, as the representative of the underwriters named in this prospectus, with respect to the class B common stock in this offering. Under the terms and subject to the conditions contained in the underwriting agreement, the representative will agree to purchase from us on a firm commitment basis the respective number of shares of class B common stock at the public price less the underwriting discounts and commissions set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, and each of the underwriters has severally and not jointly agreed to purchase, and we have agreed to sell to the underwriters, at the public offering price per share less the underwriting discounts and commissions set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, the number of shares class B common stock listed next to its name in the following table:

The shares of class B common stock sold by the underwriters to the public will initially be offered at the initial public offering price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus. Any shares of class B common stock sold by the underwriters to securities dealers may be sold at a discount from the initial public offering price not to exceed $            per share. After the initial offering, the representative may change the offering price and the other selling terms.

The representative has advised us that the underwriters do not intend to make sales to discretionary accounts. The underwriting agreement will provide that the obligations of the underwriters to pay for and accept delivery of the shares are subject to the passing upon certain legal matters by counsel and certain conditions such as confirmation of the accuracy of representations and warranties by us about our financial condition and operations and other matters. The obligation of the underwriters to purchase the class B common stock is conditioned upon our receiving approval to list the class B common stock on NYSE American.

Over-Allotment Option

If the underwriters sell more shares of class B common stock than the total number set forth in the table above, we have granted to the representative an option, exercisable for 45 days from the date of this prospectus, to purchase up to 225,000 additional shares of class B common stock at the public offering price less the underwriting discounts and commissions, constituting 15% of the total number of shares of class B common stock to be offered in this offering (excluding shares subject to this option). The underwriters may exercise this option solely for the purpose of covering over-allotments in connection with this offering. This offering is being conducted on a firm commitment basis. Any shares of class B common stock issued or sold under the option will be issued and sold on the same terms and conditions as the other shares of class B common stock that are the subject of this offering.

Discounts and Commissions; Expenses

The following table shows the underwriting discounts payable to the underwriters by us in connection with this offering (assuming both the exercise and non-exercise of the over-allotment option that we have granted to the underwriters):

We have agreed to pay the representative a non-accountable expense allowance equal to 1% of the gross proceeds received at the closing of this offering.

•        Syndicate covering transactions involve purchases of class B common stock in the open market after the distribution has been completed in order to cover syndicate short positions. In determining the source of class B common stock to close out the short position, the underwriters will consider, among other things, the price of class B common stock available for purchase in the open market as compared to the price at which they may purchase class B common stock through the over-allotment option. A naked short position occurs if the underwriters sell more class B common stock than could be covered by the over-allotment option. This position can only be closed out by buying class B common stock in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the underwriters are concerned that there could be downward pressure on the price of the class B common stock in the open market after pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase in this offering.

•        Penalty bids permit the underwriters to reclaim a selling concession from a syndicate member when class B common stock originally sold by the syndicate member are purchased in a stabilizing or syndicate covering transaction to cover syndicate short positions.

These stabilizing transactions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids may have the effect of raising or maintaining the market price of our securities or preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the securities. As a result, the price of our shares of class B common stock may be higher than the price that might otherwise exist in the open market. These transactions may be discontinued at any time.

Determination of Offering Price

In determining the initial public offering price, we and the representative have considered a number of factors, including:

•        the information set forth in this prospectus and otherwise available to the representative;

•        our prospects and the history and prospects for the industry in which we compete;

•        an assessment of our management;

•        our prospects for future revenues and earnings;

•        the recent prices of, and demand for, shares sold by us prior to this offering;

•        the general condition of the securities markets at the time of this offering;

•        the recent market prices of, and demand for, publicly traded securities of generally comparable companies; and

•        other factors deemed relevant by the representative and us.

The estimated initial public offering price set forth on the cover page of this preliminary prospectus is subject to change as a result of market conditions and other factors. Neither we nor the representative can assure investors that an active trading market will develop for our shares of class B common stock, or that the shares will trade in the public market at or above the initial public offering price.

Electronic Offer, Sale and Distribution of Shares of Common Stock

A prospectus in electronic format may be made available on the websites maintained by the representative. In addition, shares of class B common stock may be sold by the representative to securities dealers who resell shares of class B common stock to online brokerage account holders. Other than the prospectus in electronic format, the information on the representative’s website and any information contained in any other website maintained by the representative is not part of the prospectus or the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, has not been approved and/or endorsed by us or the representative in its capacity as representative and should not be relied upon by investors.

Offer Restrictions Outside the United States

Other than in the United States, no action has been taken by us or the underwriters that would permit a public offering of the securities offered by this prospectus in any jurisdiction where action for that purpose is required.

Boustead Securities, LLC has agreed to increase the exercise price of the foregoing warrants to 125% of the public offering price per share in this offering.
