Offering.
Note: The

HIGH
RISK FACTORS
The Units
of our securities offered hereby are speculative and involve a high degree of
risk. The purchase of these securities is suitable only for persons who can
afford the risk of loss of their entire investment. Prospective investors should
carefully consider, among other things, the following risk factors before making
an investment decision.
OUR
BUSINESS IS CAPITAL INTENSIVE AND WILL REQUIRE ADDITIONAL FINANCING WHICH WILL
RESULT IN DILUTION TO EXISTING SHAREHOLDERS WHICH WOULD IN TURN REDUCE THE SHARE
PRICE OF EARLIER ISSUED SHARES
Our
operations are capital intensive and growth will consume a substantial portion
of available working capital. We may require additional capital in order to fund
our operations. We do not have any commitments for additional financing and
there can be no assurance that such additional funding, if required, will be
available, or if available, will be available upon favorable terms. With respect
to our ability to obtain financing on favorable terms, we do not have
significant assets to serve as loan collateral. Still further, we presently do
not have a sufficient cash flow to qualify for reasonable debt financing.
Insufficient funds may prevent us from implementing our business strategy. In
the event we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity securities,
dilution to the then existing stockholders will result, and future investors may
be granted rights superior to those of existing stockholders. Accordingly, such
dilution would reduce the share price of the any earlier issued shares.
LACK
OF OPERATIONS, POSITIVE CASH FLOW AND PROFITABILITY MAY CONTINUE WHICH WILL
AFFECT OUR ABILITY TO REMAIN IN BUSINESS
In August
2003, principal operations of the Company commenced. We have a limited history
of operations and generation of positive cash flow or profits in the industries
in which we participate. If we do not generate positive cash flow and hence
become profitable, we may not be able to remain in business. The ability of the
Company to operate profitably is dependent upon its ability to market its
products and services and a continuation of the growth in the health and fitness
industry (as to which no assurance can be made). In addition, costs may be
increased as a result of government regulations, which may affect the ability of
the Company to operate profitably. The Company is also subject to business risks
associated with new business enterprises. No assurance can be given as to the
ability of the Company to operate profitably.
UNCERTAINTY
OF COMMERCIAL SUCCESS MAY AFFECT OUR ABILITY TO REMAIN IN
BUSINESS
With
respect to our revenue and profitability prospects, we may not be able to
achieve commercial success with our products and services. Furthermore, the
health and fitness industry is characterized by rapid change and growth.
Accordingly, we may not be able to keep up with the pace of change or fund its
growth. If we fail to achieve commercial success, we will continue to suffer net
losses and we will have to go out of business.
COMPETITION
MAY HAVE AN ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR BUSINESS
We are
subject to competition from other companies, most notably national and regional
health and fitness centers, including those specializing in alternative fitness
methods, with similar products and/or services. Although some of these
competitors have a significant share of the health and fitness market, the
Company’s goal is to target that portion of the population seeking instruction
in non-conventional forms of exercise such as yoga and pilates. Our prospects,
though, may be adversely affected by our competition as most all health and
fitness centers are now offering instruction in the areas that will be our
primary focus. The introduction of similar or superior products and services by
current or future competitors could have a material adverse effect on our
business and financial condition.
GOVERNMENT
REGULATION
The
health and fitness industry is subject to extensive government regulation and
changes in these regulations could have a negative effect on our financial
condition.
The
Company’s operations and business practices are subject to federal, state and
local government regulations in the various jurisdictions in which our fitness
centers are located and where our products and/or services are sold,
including:
| · |
general
rules and regulations of the Federal Trade Commission (the "FTC"), state
and local consumer protection agencies and state statutes that prescribe
provisions of membership contracts and that govern the advertising, sale,
financing and collection of membership fees and
dues; |
| · |
state
and local health regulations; and |
| · |
federal
regulation of health and nutritional
products. |
As it
becomes necessary, we make minor adjustments to our operating procedures to
remain in compliance with applicable laws. Presently, the Company’s operations
are in material compliance with all applicable statutes, rules and regulations
of each jurisdiction in which we operate. Our failure to comply with statutes,
rules and regulations may result in fines or penalties. These may include
regulatory or judicial orders enjoining or curtailing aspects of the Company’s
operations. It is difficult to predict the future development of such laws or
regulations, and although we are not aware of any proposed changes, any changes
in such laws could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and
results of operations.
To date,
the Company has not been named as a defendant in any lawsuits, and, therefore,
the Company’s operations and financial condition has not been affected by any
legal proceeding. However, we cannot assure you that we will never be named as a
defendant and/or that we will be able to successfully defend or settle all
pending or future purported individual and/or class action claims, and our
failure to do so may have a material adverse effect on our operations and/or
financial condition.
PRODUCTS
& SERVICES
The
Company’s products and services may not generate positive cash flow; therefore,
directly impacting the Company’s operations and financial condition in the
future.
Although
the Company has implemented a number of business initiatives to capitalize on
our array of products and services, infrastructure, member base and franchising
program, the success of these business initiatives in the future will have a
direct impact on our operations, financial condition and ability to generate
cash flow. These initiatives primarily focus on selling products and services to
our members within our fitness centers and promoting the Company’s franchising
program. However, we cannot predict whether the Company will be able to generate
revenues from any of these new business initiatives in the future and, in fact,
these business initiative may not be successful in the future. We have limited
experience in marketing products and services to our members. The sale and
marketing of products, services and the franchising program involve significant
risk of competition. If the Company is unable to successfully sell and market
its products, services and franchising program, or to successfully compete in
the health and fitness industry, then the Company may be forced to cease
operations.
HEALTH
& FITNESS INDUSTRY
The
Company may not be able to effectively compete in each the market for each of
our products and services in the future.
The
health and fitness club industry is, and likely will remain, highly competitive.
Within each market in which the Company operates, the Company competes with
local and national fitness centers, physical fitness and recreational facilities
established by local governments, the YMCA and similar organizations and, to a
certain extent, with racquet, tennis and other athletic clubs, country clubs,
weight reducing salons and the home-use fitness equipment industry. Although the
Company’s focus will primarily be on promoting non-traditional forms of exercise
such as yoga and pilates, we still, nevertheless, will compete with all the
fitness centers detailed above. The Company’s Boutique and Café also compete
with similar type businesses for the discretionary income of our target markets.
The Company may not be able to continue to compete effectively in each of these
markets in the future. Additionally, competitive conditions may limit our
ability to maintain or increase pricing of membership fees, perhaps even adding
initiation fees, and may impact our ability to attract new members.
As we
pursue planned business initiatives, particularly the sale of the Company’s
products and services, and marketing of the Company’s franchising program, we
will be competing against large, established companies with more experience. In
some instances, our competitors may have substantially greater financial
resources than us. We may not be able to compete effectively against these
companies.
TRADEMARK
PROTECTION
The
Company’s trademarks and trade names may be misappropriated or subject to claims
of infringement.
We
attempt to protect our trademarks and trade names through a combination of
trademark and copyright laws, as well as licensing agreements and third-party
nondisclosure and assignment agreements. However, the Company’s failure to
obtain or maintain adequate protection of our intellectual property rights for
any reason could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of
operations and financial condition.
MANAGEMENT
& KEY PERSONNEL
If we do
not retain our key personnel or fail to attract and retain other highly skilled
employees, the Company’s business operations and financial condition will
suffer.
The
success of our business is heavily dependent on the leadership of our key
management personnel, including: Xxxx Xxxx, Chief Executive Officer, Xxxxxxxxx
Xxxxx, Xxxxxx Xxxx and Xxxxx Xxxxx. While we intend to enter into customary
employment agreements with each of them, to the extent not already done, the
loss of any of their services would be detrimental and could have a material
adverse effect on the business, financial condition and results of the Company’s
operations. If any of these persons were to leave, it might be difficult to
replace them, and we cannot assure you that we can attract and retain sufficient
qualified personnel to meet our business needs. Competition for these
individuals is intense and increasing. We may not be able to attract,
assimilate, or retain qualified managerial personnel and our failure to do so
could have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition and
results of operations.
LEGAL
PROCEEDINGS
The
Company could be subject to claims related to health or safety risks at our
clubs.
Use of
our clubs creates some potential health or safety risks to members or guests
through the use of our services and facilities. The Company cannot guarantee
that claims against the Company by members or their guests will not be filed
and/or asserted, or that the Company would be able to successfully defend any
such claim. We also cannot assure you that we will be able to maintain our
general liability insurance on acceptable terms in the future or that such
insurance will provide adequate coverage against potential claims.
BROAD
DISCRETION AS TO USE OF PROCEEDS; POTENTIAL CHANGE IN USE OF
PROCEEDS
Substantially
all of the anticipated net proceeds of this Offering are allocated to working
capital and other corporate purposes. Accordingly, management will have broad
discretion with respect to the expenditure of the net proceeds of this Offering.
Purchasers of the Securities offered hereby will be entrusting their funds to
the Company's management, upon whose judgment the investors must depend. The
Company may enter into joint ventures, acquisitions or other arrangements, such
as joint marketing arrangements and licensing agreements, which the Company
believes would further the Company's growth and development. No assurance can be
given that any such agreements will result in additional revenue or net income
for the Company.
Notwithstanding
its plan to develop its business as described in this Confidential Memorandum,
future events, including the problems, expenses, difficulties, complications and
delays frequently encountered by businesses, as well as changes in the economic
climate or changes in government regulations, may make the reallocation of funds
necessary or desirable. Any such reallocation will be at the discretion of the
Board of Directors. No assurance can be given that any such businesses can or
will be profitably operated.
THE
RESULTS OF RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EFFORTS ARE UNCERTAIN AND WE MAY NOT BE ABLE
TO COMPETE EFFECTIVELY IN THE MARKETPLACE
The
Company will have to make significant research and development expenditures for
certain products and services to remain competitive. While we perform extensive
testing of new products, the products we are currently developing or may develop
in the future may not be successful. If these approaches are not successful, the
resulting products and/or services may not achieve market acceptance and these
products may not compete effectively with products of competitors currently in
the market or introduced in the future. If we are unsuccessful in the
marketplace, it will affect our ability to remain in business.
OUR
AUDITORS HAVE EXPRESSED DOUBTS ABOUT OUR ABILITY TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN
WHICH MAY RESULT IN THE LOSS OF YOUR ENTIRE INVESTMENT
As
discussed elsewhere in this Confidential Memorandum, we have incurred
substantial operating and net losses, as well as negative operating cash flows,
since our inception. Notwithstanding either management undertaking to reduce
costs or raising funds through private placement, we cannot assure you that
management's efforts will lead us to profitability, nor can we provide any
assurance that we can continue raising funds on acceptable terms. As a result,
our ability to continue to operate as a going concern will depend on our ability
to raise working capital and further streamline our operations and/or increase
sales of the Company’s products and services. Our failure in any of these
efforts may materially and adversely affect our ability to continue as a going
concern. If the Company discontinues any portion of its operations, Investors in
the Company may loose any and all invested funds.
In
preparing our audited financial statements, our auditors have expressed doubts
about our ability to continue as a going concern. If we discontinue operations,
you will lose your entire investment.

B. Executive
Summary of The Studio Zone’s Business
The
Studio Zone, Inc. was incorporated on July 9, 2004 in the State of Nevada. The
Company has acquired all presently existing and/or known assets, liabilities,
rights and obligations of The Studio Zone Fitness Center, Inc., originally
operating as a sole proprietorship until its incorporation on or about August 9,
2005 under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada. The Company
maintains its corporate headquarters and flagship “Studio” in Xxxxxxx, X.X.,
Canada. Principally, the Company caters to the individual seeking physical,
mental and spiritual well-being—a truly priceless health advantage—by offering
an array of services and products focused on providing a transition to a
healthier lifestyle by non-traditional means. The Company’s focus is to provide
the customer with a full-service, state of the art facility offering instruction
in yoga, pilates and other related methods, a boutique stocked with the latest
training aides, apparel and nutritional foods and beverages, and the planned
opening of a café for those simply seeking a place of refuge or relaxation.
In order
to serve and exploit the shift and growth in the health and fitness industry in
the United States and Canada from traditional forms of exercise to more
non-conventional disciplines with less risk of injury, the Company has designed
and implemented a specialized full-service fitness facility offering instruction
in a myriad of non-conventional methods to meet the rising wellness and fitness
demand. While the Company plans to open 12 fitness centers (“Corporate Studios”)
over the course of the next year located in major metropolitan cities throughout
the United States and Canada, the Corporate Studios are designed primarily to
further the Company’s franchising marketing program and as an additional source
of revenue. Additionally, by and through contracts with small to medium sized
vendors, the Company will develop, promote and retail its own private label
clothing and training aides, as well as nutritional foods and beverages. The
Company’s objective is to choose the right strategic partners to allow it to
leverage its investment and transplant it into areas throughout the United
States and Canada by and through franchising.
The
Company provides an opportunity for growth through its franchising and marketing
program. The Company will strive to cater to the complete wellness and fitness
needs of everyone, not just a select few.
TSZ’s
executive offices are located at 000-00000 00xx Xxxxxx

fitness for the purpose of maintaining a healthier lifestyle. By and through its
approach to the non-traditional health and fitness industry, the Company will

locations in city centers throughout the United States and Canada. Based on its
business concept, as well as its approach to expansion, the Company is

THE
STUDIO ZONE, INC.’S BUSINESS OBJECTIVES
BUSINESS
STRATEGY
Our
continuing business focus is to maximize the revenue derived from each member
and grow our member base. The amount generated per member through monthly dues
and products and services revenues will provide the necessary funding for the
remainder of our operations. Research suggests that the more serious member
spends in excess of $1,500.00 annually on fitness related needs for alternative
methods of exercise. We expect to continue to maximize the per member revenue as
well as grow our membership base using the following strategies:
| ¨ |
Optimize
Our Product and Service Offerings.
We will use our clubs for the delivery of value-added products and
services such as personal training, private-label products, group exercise
classes, fitness related merchandise, fitness magazines and our Wellness
Program. Integrating these ancillary products and services into core
fitness center operations positions the Company to meet all of its
members' wellness and fitness needs. We are committed to the continuing
development and integration of new and innovative products and services.
Our vendor agreements will afford us the opportunity to "test-market" new
products and services without exposing our entire operation to the outcome
of any one particular product. |
| ¨ |
Realize
the Benefits of Franchising.
Primarily, the Company’s sales and marketing resources are devoted to
promoting the franchising program. It is our expectation that each
Corporate and Prototype Center will contribute higher levels of operating
income as they enhance their ability to generate
revenue. |
| ¨ |
Maximize
Our Sales & Marketing Program.
We will focus on leveraging the position of the Company’s roll-out and its
private label brand. Although we have not traditionally relied on
television advertising as a vehicle for marketing products and/or
services, the Company is presently in the process of developing a
television marketing campaign to mass advertise products and services, but
more importantly, the Company’s franchising program. In addition, the
Internet represents a tremendous opportunity to promote the Company’s name
and brand. |
| ¨ |
More
Efficient Operations.
After an initial period of expected and anticipated development of our
Corporate Studios and business model, we are considering centralizing all
billing systems to realize economies of scale. In particular, we have
launched several initiatives to improve operating efficiencies and reduce
operating costs, including staff reductions. As part of this program, we
will further develop the Company’s integrated and centralized computer
management system accessible by each of the franchised facilities. Thus,
all members will have access to other Centers while traveling away from
home. |
| ¨ |
Electronic
Payment Option.
We intend on integrating an electronic payment option for each of our
membership programs, in effect providing our members with a convenient
alternative to paying membership dues in cash or by check. However, this
is not expected to occur until we are able to centralize the Company’s
entire billing system. |
GROWTH
THROUGH FRANCHISING
To build
upon our operations and to increase awareness of our private label and overall
business, we plan on selling franchises in order to rapidly grow. Further, to
reinforce operating results and maximize cash flows, we have chosen to limit the
number of Corporate Studios, excluding our flagship Studio, and focus more on
establishing marketing relationships and selling franchises.
Generally,
a new fitness center requires approximately 7 to 10 years for its member base to
mature. Thus, earnings contribution and cash flow potential are directly
affected for this entire length of time. For this reason, the Company has
decided to concentrate the majority of its resources into its franchising
program, thereby attempting to increase earnings and cash flow in less than the
aforementioned 7 to 10 year period of time.
The
Company’s program for expansion, including franchising, is divided into three
distinct areas:
| ¨ |
Primarily,
the focus of our franchise marketing program is geared towards generating
interest and selling franchises based on our prototype fitness center
(“Prototype Studio”). The Prototype Studio is designed to, ideally, cost
less to start-up and subsequently maintain than other similar facilities.
Additionally, the Prototype Studio has been planned to maximize use of
interior space by providing the proper number studios devoted to the
services our members demand. |
| ¨ |
Franchising
opportunities also extend to already established fitness centers located
in city centers. As part of the franchising agreement, such fitness
centers are required to upgrade and expand to comply with the design of
our Prototype Studio, including adding and upgrading exercise equipment,
leasing additional space and refreshing interior and exterior finishes to
improve club ambiance. We believe that through this type of expansion we
will continue to increase our membership base and increase revenues,
thereby capitalizing on our marketing and administrative
infrastructure. |
| ¨ |
Finally,
as a result of our ability to implement and market our franchising program
in a fragmented industry, we are positioned to identify opportunities to
acquire existing fitness center operations located in city centers at
reasonable prices, thereby increasing the number of Corporate Studios.
Although such acquisitions fall squarely within our tactical goal of
expanding our reach, increasing penetration in key markets, and leveraging
our overall infrastructure, we have no near term plans for expanding our
Corporate Studio base through acquisitions. However, the Company may alter
its plans as it deems necessary. |
Our
flagship Corporate Studio is located in Xxxxxxx, X.X., Canada. While the
majority of our growth, is anticipated to occur in the United States and Canada,
we will, nevertheless, also seek to develop and establish international
relationships that we believe will be profitable. To this end, international
franchises will further leverage our brand and private label identity into new
and developing markets without the inherent risk and capital requirements of
direct foreign investment.
[Missing Graphic Reference]
The
Company has projected its franchising sales to 711 franchises over the next five
years generating an estimated $10,665,000 in up front sales and royalties of
$134,080,350. The following is a breakdown by revenue stream:
The
Company will benefit in the following ways from its franchising
program:
| ¨ |
Greater
margins and increased cash flow. |
| ¨ |
Royalties
from the Prototype Studios. |
| ¨ |
Less
staffing as the Corporate Representative will be responsible for initial
training and ongoing support. |
| ¨ |
Better
support system for franchisees. |
| ¨ |
Increased
name recognition as the advertising and promotion fund is
larger. |
| ¨ |
Development
of regional/local supplier networks. |

members based on models that we consider will generate increased cash
flow. As the demand for our business and services continues to increase,
it is our belief that we can expand on our present line of products and

will be integrated into our membership programs in order to assist members

policy, we require manufacturers and suppliers of our products to adhere
to quality control specifications in addition to those imposed by any
local, state or government agencies. |

Once open, the Company’s Fitness Café will offer ready-to-drink meal
replacement shakes and drinks, energy bars, snack bars, high protein bars,

Health
Coverage—Existing Contracts.
As a value added service to membership, we offer each of our customers an
option to purchase health discount packages through AWR, Inc. This service
is particularly of interest to our members who do not have health
insurance as it offers reduced fee health care. Members are able to choose
from a premium subscription at a cost of $45.00 per month, or a lower
option at a cost of $30.00 per month. These fees are much lower than the
cost of any monthly health care insurance premium and allow the
subscribing member to access an extensive network of health care
professionals at a reduced and pre-negotiated
cost. |
STATE
OF THE ART FACILITIES
All of
our fitness centers are located in city centers. All of our Prototype Studios
are relatively the same in size, space distribution and feel. However, our
Corporate Studios are approximately 50% larger than our Prototype Studios since
we devote considerable amount of marketing into these studios to assist in the
growth and implementation of our franchising program. All of our fitness centers
are equipped with only state-of-the-art studios and equipment available for
customers to rent. All personnel working at any Corporate or Prototype Studio is
required to complete a comprehensive in-house training program.
Our
Corporate and Prototype Studios are geared toward meeting the needs of our
members. Therefore, particular services may vary from studio to studio. Our
Prototype Studio tends to range from 2,750 to 3000 square feet, while our
Corporate Studios range from 4,000 to 4,250 square feet. The Prototype Studio is
designed to cost less to construct and maintain than our Corporate Facilities,
but still has the capacity to accommodate a significant amount of members.
Generally, excluding the franchising fee, out Prototype Studios require an
investment of approximately $25,000 in start-up and/or tenant improvement
costs.
MEMBERSHIP
PLANS
Our
prospective members are able to choose from numerous membership plans to meet
their needs. Each available membership plan allows members to access all of our
other fitness centers. However, the plans do offer prospective members different
products and services as part of their membership. Occasionally, we have special
membership promotions that limit a member’s access to a single fitness center
and to certain days and non-peak hours. Through our electronic billing system,
we are able to offer our members a variety of different payment options. As part
of plan for growth and expansion, we have eliminated initiation
fees.
Our
membership fees generally range from $500 to $1,500, with the average being
$750.00. The membership fee is based entirely on the following
factors:
| ¨ |
The
membership plan selected. |
| ¨ |
Additional
products and services chosen as part of the membership
plan. |
| ¨ |
Availability
of sales and/or marketing promotions. |
| ¨ |
Type

In
addition to not charging initial initiation fees, the Company’s members may
purchase items at our Fitness Boutique and Fitness Café at reduced prices.
Our
Corporate Studios offer membership plans with additional incentives, such as a
monthly allowance for use at our Boutique and Café.

MARKET
ANALYSIS
MARKET
OVERVIEW
The
fitness industry has benefited from several key growth drivers, including
increased focus on health and physical fitness and numerous publications
emphasizing the importance of health and fitness. Accordingly, research studies
in the health and fitness club industry indicate that the number of people
seeking healthier lifestyles is increasing annually. In fact, a recent study
suggests that more than 41.1 million people will be members of a health and/or
fitness facility in the United States by 2006. Numerous factors have converged
to spurn the growth of the health and fitness market, including but not limited
to, an increased membership by women, increased awareness of the link between
exercise and good health, and, in particular, increased interest and shift in
the market to non-traditional or alternative methods of achieving a healthier
lifestyle through disciplines such as yoga and pilates.
In fact,
there are approximately 17,000 fitness facilities in the United States alone,
and over 33 million members. The industry's compound annual growth rate of
revenues was 8.2% from $6.5 billion in 1993 to $12.2 billion in 2001, and its
compound annual growth in the total number of clubs increased at a rate of 4.8%,
from 11,655 in 1993 to 16,983 in 2001. The demand for club memberships rose in
the same period at a faster pace than supply, as memberships increased at a
compound annual growth rate of 5.0% from 22.9 million in 1993 to 33.8 million in
2001.
Although
the fitness industry benefits from tremendous growth over the last several
years, the industry remains fragmented with less than 10% of commercial health
clubs in the U.S. owned and operated by companies that own more than 25
clubs.
As
competition increases and the growth and shift in the health and fitness market
occurs, it has become necessary to offer products and services that are
available to a larger segment of the population. After evaluating the market,
the Company’s business model targets this market and is geared to provide an
opportunity for profitability for the following reasons:
|
-- |
High
Revenue From Membership. Serious
practitioners of yoga and other related disciplines spend approximately
$1,500.00 a year on instruction, apparel and
equipment. |
-- Boutique
Growth Potential.
Providing customers with lower cost-brands that are high-quality.
|
-- |
Market
Growth Potential.
More than 12% of the U.S. population is interested in yoga. To this end, a
recent survey revealed that more than 35.3 million people would try yoga
during the course of the next year. Additionally, roughly 4.7 million
Americans take Pilates, with the number increasing almost daily.
|
--The
Studio Zone’s Opportunity. The
Company is positioned to offer a variety of products and services, providing its
members with the flexibility to maximize their fitness allocated time.
|
-- |
The Studio Zone’s Capability to provide
Additional Services.
The Company is well-equipped to provide additional services requested by
its customers. In addition, the Company has developed a system that allows
it to address issues that may arise related to its products and/or
services. |
COMPETITION
The
Company is prepared to meet all of the needs of its members, from fitness to
proper dieting. We strive to be an operator of franchise fitness centers located
throughout North America. The Company will compete with other similar
non-traditional fitness centers, as well as conventional physical fitness and
recreational facilities. We also compete, to some extent, with boutiques and/or
sporting goods stores and cafés. Future competitive factors may emerge which may
lessen our ability to compete as effectively.
We
believe competition has increased to some extent in certain markets, reflecting
the public's enthusiasm for fitness. The Company, however, has developed
membership plans that are affordable and we have the flexibility to be
responsive to economic conditions.
Our
pursuit of new business initiatives has us competing against large, established
companies with more experience selling products on a retail basis. In some
instances, our competitors for these products have substantially greater
financial resources than we have. We may not be able to compete effectively
against these established companies.
The
following charts provide an overview of the amount of classes typically offered
by our regional and national competitors in yoga and pilates, the Company’s two
primary areas of instruction, as well as other services offered by said
competitors and how the Company compares:
TARGET
MARKET
The
Studio Zone will target multiple groups in its aggressive sales and marketing
program:
| (1) |
Young
and Middle Aged Women:
This group is the core segment of potential clients of The Studio
Zone. Their demographic characteristics are the
following: |
|
Ages:
19-55. |
|
Health/Lifestyle
Issues: Women focused on healthy food and dieting. Over 70% of this
group are members of gyms. Approximately, 40% of potential customers have
taken yoga classes before. |
|
Social
Pattern: Will more likely attend as part of group.
|
|
Center's
selling point: Close to work and/or home. The session lowers
stress. Can be attended with friends and/or colleagues as group
activity. |
| (2) |
Individuals
Seeking Healthier Lifestyle:
Any and all individuals seeking a healthier alternative lifestyle is a
secondary target group. Their demographic characteristics are the
following: |
|
Ages:
18 to 34. |
|
Sex:
Males and Females. |
|
Health/Lifestyle
Issues: Active individuals that are focused on healthy food and
dieting. While it is foreseen that many individuals in this target
group may be members of a gym, this secondary group targets all
individuals. |
|
Social
Pattern: Will more likely attend alone and/or with family or
friends. |
|
Center's
selling point: Close to work and/or home. The session lowers
stress. |
By and
through targeting these specific groups, the Company firmly believes that it
will further enhance its products and services, thereby increasing the
effectiveness of its advertising campaign. The Company’s products and services
are designed and marketed to be affordable by the masses.
COMPETITIVE
ADVANTAGE
It is our
belief that the following factors will allow us to achieve positive cash flow
more rapidly:
| ¨ |
Full
Service Wellness and Fitness Center.
The Company offers a wide array of fitness center products and services.
The Company’s plan is to have a visible presence in all large metropolitan
areas, including New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago and Miami. We believe
that our scale and concentration in major metropolitan areas achieves
marketing and operating efficiencies, enhancing our value to both the
local and national population. |
| ¨ |
Distinctive
Brand Name.
We believe that The Studio Zone, Inc.’s brand will become synonymous with
quality and value and that our private label will enhance the likelihood
that potential members will prefer our clubs to those of our competitors.
This awareness will also allow us to benefit from strategic marketing
alliances with small to medium sized vendors since the Company will be
able to offer inventory to franchise owners on a consignment basis (up to
$20,000 in products). |
| ¨ |
Licensing
Agreements.
We are in the process of entering into licensing arrangements with small
to medium size fitness vendors to manufacture products that will retail at
our Corporate and Prototype Studios. |
| ¨ |
Maximized
Member Retention.
As a result of our state of the art facilities, the Company has the
ability to achieve successful member retention rates. On average, health
and fitness centers annually retain over 50-70% of their members. We
strive to retain at least this percentage of members through various
marketing and sales techniques, but most of all through the quality and
affordable cost of our products and services.
|
| ¨ |
Increased
Cash Flow.
Our anticipated ability to maintain successful member retention rates,
profitable member base and substantially fixed operating costs result in
predictable and growing cash flows. |
| ¨ |
Minimal
Direct Investment in Fitness Centers.
As a result of our franchising program, we will not have to incur the
expenses associated with establishing only Corporate Studios. Avoiding
this expense provides us with the ability to maintain a base of modern,
well-equipped facilities. |
| ¨ |
Flexible
Membership Plans.
We offer a variety of membership options and plans. All of our membership
options include additional amenities and access to all of our fitness
centers. Similarly, we offer a broad range of payment alternatives.
|
| ¨ |
Experienced
Management Team.
We believe that our management team is well-equipped to assist in meeting
our goals. Our founder and CEO, Xxxx Xxxx, has over 20 years experience in
all aspects of operating a fitness facility, from sales to instruction and
operations. |

RISK
AVOIDANCE CONSIDERATIONS
GOVERNMENTAL
REGULATION
Due to
the nature of our business, we are subject to regulation by the government, both
at the local and national levels. The general rules and regulations of the
Federal Trade Commission and of other federal, state, provincial and local
consumer protection agencies apply to our advertising, sales and other trade
practices.
The
health and fitness industry is heavily regulated by the government. Since we are
seeking to implement our franchising program in the United States, Canada and
other countries around the world, we are conscious of the fact that we would be
subject to regulation in each of the countries to where we expand. Generally, we
are required to comply with regulations that govern membership agreements.
Additionally,
we are and will continue to be subject to federal, state and provincial
regulations governing our business operations. These laws and regulations vary
depending on the country and city of operation. An internal review procedure has
been established for each of our Corporate and Prototype Studios to follow to
ensure compliance with all governmental regulations.
Our
private label products, including all training aides, apparel and nutritional
products are also subject to regulation. However, as part of each of our vendor
relationships, we require that they comply with such regulations and agree to
indemnify us from any potential liability arising from or in connection with the
products supplied to us.
RISK
FACTORS
Our
private label products, customized services, wellness program and fitness café
may not generate the amount of revenue anticipated, thus directly affecting our
entire business Model
Our sales
and marketing program seeks to capitalize on our full service facilities,
including all products and services offered. However, we have a limited
operating history experience in all aspects of our business. The sale and
marketing of our products is also entirely dependent on our ability to enter
into and maintain vendor relationships. Generally, our operations also involve
significant risk of competition.
The
fitness market is a highly competitive business. The industry in which we are
involved is highly competitive. We are in direct competition with nationally
recognized fitness centers, local fitness facilities and other centers offering
instruction exclusively in non-conventional disciplines. Our Fitness Boutique
and Café also compete with such businesses located near and around our Corporate
and/or Prototype Centers. It is quite possible that we may be unable to
effectively compete in these areas.
DESCRIPTION
OF SECURITIES
The
Studio Zone, Inc.
Confidential
Offering Memorandum
September
1, 2005
General
The
Company’s authorized capital consists of 20,000,000 shares of Common Stock.
Common
Stock
Holders
of our common stock are entitled to one vote per share on all maters submitted
to a vote of stockholders. Holders of shares of common stock do not have
cumulative voting rights which means that the holders of more than 50% of the
shares voting for the election of directors can elect all of the directors if
they choose to do so, and, in such event, the holders of the remaining shares
will not be able to elect any directors.
Subject
to the right of holders of any outstanding preferred sock, the holders of
outstanding shares of common stock are entitled to dividends and other
distributions, as may be declared from time to time by our Board of Directors
from legally available funds. Holders of our common stock have no preemptive,
subscription, redemption or conversion rights. Subject to the rights of holders
of any outstanding preferred stock, upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding
up and after payment of all prior claims, the holders of shares of commons tock
are entitled to a pro rata share in any distribution available to holders of
common stock. All of the outstanding shares of common stock are, and all of the
shares of common stock to be issued in connection with this offering will be,
validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
Dividend
Policy
The
Company never paid any cash dividends on our common stock. We plan to retain all
future earnings to support our operations and to finance the development and
growth of our business. Therefore, we do not expect to pay cash dividends on our
common stock in the foreseeable future. Any future determination as to the
payment of dividends will be at our Board of Directors discretion and will
depend on our results of operations, financial condition, capital requirements
and other factors that our Board of Directors considers relevant.
Plan
of Distribution
The Units
of our common stock are being offered on a "best efforts" basis with respect to
the offering. The Offering period commences on the date of this Private Offering
Memorandum and continues until the earlier of September 30, 2005, unless
extended by the Company for an additional 60 days (the "Termination Date"), or
the earlier sale of all of the Units offered hereby.
The Units
are being offered at a price of $2,000 per Unit, solely to "accredited
investors" as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the
Securities Act or to non-accredited investors who are otherwise qualified
investors as determined by us based on the circumstances of the investor and the
amount of the subscription he or she intends to make. The minimum subscription
is $2,000; however, we reserve the right to accept subscriptions for a
fractional Unit. The purchase price for the Units is payable in cash upon
subscription.
The Units
will be offered and sold by the Company on a "best efforts" basis with respect
to the offering.
The
Company reserves the right to conduct additional financings in the future. Any
such additional financings may be conducted on terms that are more or less
favorable to investors than the terms of this offering.
Exemption
from Registration and Restrictions on Transferability
The
shares of our common stock offered hereby will not be registered under the
Securities Act in reliance on the exemption from such registration provided by
Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D thereunder. In order to
establish the availability of such exemption, we will, among other exemptions,
rely on Regulation D under such Securities Act, which provides that an offering
made in accordance with all its conditions is deemed exempt from such
registration.
The
availability of such exemptions is also dependent, in part, upon the "investment
intent" of the investors. The exemptions would not be available if an investor
were purchasing the shares with a view to redistributing them. Accordingly, each
investor when executing the Subscription Agreement will be required to
acknowledge that his or her purchase is for investment, for his or her own
account, and without any view to the sale of the shares of our common stock,
except pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act
or a valid exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities
Act.
In
addition, since each purchaser will be acquiring shares of restricted stock in a
company that is not publicly-traded, a purchaser must be prepared to bear the
economic risk of an investment for an indefinite period of time. An investor in
this Offering, pursuant to the Subscription Agreement and applicable law, will
not be permitted to transfer or dispose of our shares of common stock unless
they are registered or unless such transaction is exempt from registration under
the Securities Act and other applicable securities laws, and in the case of a
purportedly exempt sale, such investor provides (at his own expense) an opinion
of counsel satisfactory to us such exemption is, in fact, available. The
certificates representing the shares purchased in this offering will bear a
legend relating to such restrictions on transfer.
