(“OGI”), Inc. intends to assign and sell a certain asset to HSTC in exchange 19,500,000 shares of HSTC common stock (the “Transaction”). OGI and its consultants, officers and directors have conducted their own due diligence in connection with HSTC and an investment in HSTC.
OGI has obtained various documents relating to HSTC and has had an opportunity to request such documents and information that it deems prudent in connection with a decision to invest in HSTC. OGI has reviewed the HSTC SEC filings as set forth on the SEC Xxxxx system.
OGI will be the controlling shareholder of HSTC after the Transaction.
OGI understands and is aware that HSTC’s board of directors has authorized a series of debt exchange agreements with Xxx Xxxxxx, President and sole Director of the Company and his affiliates (The Health Network, Inc., LIFT, LLC and Biolifecycle, LLC) which will result in the elimination of $2,496,976.13 in exchange for 15,000,000 pre-split shares of $0.001 par value common stock or 1,000,000 post-split $0.001 par value common stock.
OGI has been informed and understands that the Board of Directors after review of the Company’s balance sheet has analyzed all of the Company 3rd part debt and determined that the $684,476.00 in debt represented by these obligations is not collectible by any of the parties. As a result, the Board of Directors has authorized the elimination of those debt obligation and instructed the company accountants to remove the obligations from the Company statements and consider the obligations null and void.
OGI should consider the following risk factors that represent some but not necessarily all of the risk factors relating to an investment in HSTC.
Control by a Single Shareholder. Xxx Xxxxxx prior to the issue of shares by HSTC contemplated by this Asset Purchase Agreement, Xxx Xxxxxx was the control shareholder, president and sole director.
Negative Net Worth. As of the financial statements filed with the SEC dated 3-31-2019 HSTC had a negative net worth and after the Transaction it may continue to have a negative net worth.
A going concern opinion, there is substantial uncertainty HSTC will continue activities in which case, OGI could lose its investment. HSTC’s auditors have issued a going concern opinion on its audit report. This means that there is substantial doubt that HSTC can continue as an ongoing business for the next twelve months. As such it may have to cease activities and OGI could lose its investment.
HSTC currently does not have adequate funds to cover the costs associated with maintaining its status as a Reporting Company. As of March 31, 2019, HSTC had no cash in its bank accounts.
HSTC lacks has a limited operating history and has losses which are expect to continue into the future. As a result, HSTC may have to suspend or cease activities, which would result in a complete loss of any investment made in HSTC.
Exhibit 10.1
HSTC will need significant cash from operations or other sources, of which there can be no assurance that it will be able to fund its operations. If we are unable to obtain funds from operations or other sources, OGI could suffer a complete loss of its investment.
In order to continue with its operations, HSTC must obtain additional funds. Such funds will, if available come from additional loans, equity investments or funds from operations. Funds from equity investments will result in dilution to existing shareholders. There can be no assurance that HSTC will ever generate revenue from operations or operate profitably.
Because there is currently limited public trading market for HSTC common stock, you may not be able to resell your stock. HSTC common stock is quoted on the OTC Pink Marketplace, under the symbol HSTC. We have limited trading.
Because HSTC securities are subject to xxxxx stock rules, OGI may have difficulty reselling its shares. HSTC shares are xxxxx stocks covered by section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 which imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker/dealers who sell the Company's securities including the delivery of a standardized disclosure document; disclosure and confirmation of quotation prices; disclosure of compensation the broker/dealer receives; and, furnishing monthly account statements. For sales of HSTC, the broker/dealer must make a special suitability determination and receive from its customer a written agreement prior to making a sale. The imposition of the foregoing additional sales practices could adversely affect OGI’s ability to dispose of its stock even after the shell corporation restrictions are not applicable and as a result OGI may be unable to liquidate its investment in HSTC.
HSTC does not intend to pay dividends on its common stock and, consequently, OGI’s ability to achieve a return on its investment will depend on appreciation in the price of our common stock. HSTC has never declared or paid any cash dividend on its common stock and does not currently intend to do so for the foreseeable future. Any return to shareholders will therefore be limited to the appreciation of their stock. Therefore, the success of an investment in shares of HSTC common stock will depend upon any future appreciation in their value. There is no guarantee that shares of HSTC common stock will appreciate in value or even maintain the price at which our OGI has purchased its shares.
A substantial number of shares of HSTC common stock could be sold into the public market in the future, which could depress HSTC’s stock price. Sales of substantial amounts of HSTC common stock in the public market could reduce the prevailing market prices for HSTC’s common stock. If our existing shareholders sell a large number of shares of our common stock, when they are able to, or the public market perceives that they might sell shares of common stock, the market price of our common stock could decline significantly. These sales might also make it more difficult for us to sell equity securities at a time and price that HSTC deems appropriate to add additional capital to the Company.
Additional Risk Factors:
Securities analysts of major brokerage firms may not provide coverage of HSTC since there is little incentive to brokerage firms to recommend the purchase of HSTC common stock.
HSTC cannot assure you that brokerage firms will want to conduct any secondary offerings on behalf of HSTC in the future.
Any failure to comply or adequately comply with federal securities laws, rules or regulations could subject us to fines or regulatory actions, which may materially adversely affect HSTC’s business, results of operations and financial condition.
Exhibit 10.1
HSTC will incur significant costs to ensure compliance with United States corporate governance and accounting requirements.
HSTC may not be able to meet the filing and internal control reporting requirements imposed by the Securities and Exchange Commission resulting in a possible decline in the price of its common stock and our inability to obtain future financing.
As a public company, HSTC is obligated to maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting. HSTC’s internal controls may not be determined to be effective, which may adversely affect investor confidence in HSTC and, as a result, decrease the value of its securities.
The relative lack of operating public company experience of our management team may put HSTC at a competitive disadvantage.
