Corporate Background and Business Overview
We were incorporated in the state of Nevada on May 12, 2011. Our offices are currently located at 4478 Wagon Trail Avenue, Las Vegas, NV 89118. Our telephone number is 702-361-3188. Our registered agent in the State of Nevada is Business Filings Incorporated, 311 S. Division Street, Carson City, Nevada 89703.
We are in the business of designing, developing, licensing, manufacturing, and marketing consumer electronics in the video gaming and smart TV sector. Products under development include The Zaaz™ wireless keyboard, The Extreme Gamer®; a multi-disc video game changer, and the Psyko Krypton™ surround sound gaming headphones.
We are in process of completing the engineering on the three aforementioned products and are working with contractors in China to establish manufacturing capabilities. Once manufacturing is established we intend on utilizing existing consumer electronics distributers, such as Synnex Corp. (SNX) to distribute our products to big box retailers such as Best Buy, GameStop, and Fry’s Electronics.
We have not made any significant purchases or sale of assets, nor have we been involved in any mergers, acquisitions or consolidations. We have never declared bankruptcy, have never been in receivership, and have never been involved in any legal action or proceedings.
We have two executive officers, our President, Jeffrey A. Weiland, and our Chief Financial Officer, Robert S. Amaral, both serve as our two directors. Both of our officers and directors reside in the State of Nevada.

Summary Financial Information; Going Concern
The table below summarizes our audited financial statements for the fiscal years ended November 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, as well as the unaudited financial statements for the three and six months ended May 31, 2013 and June 30, 2012 and for the period from May 12, 2011 (inception) to May 31, 2013. In our auditor’s report included in the Company’s audited financial statements for fiscal years ended November 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, our auditors expressed substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is subject to our ability to generate sufficient revenues to fund our operations and/or our ability to obtain additional capital, neither of which can be assured. We anticipate that our auditors will continue to express substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for the near future.
Balance Sheet Summary:
| | |Fiscal Year Ended | | |At May 31, | |
| | |At November 30, 2012 | | |At December 31, 2011 | | |2013 | |
| | |(Audited) | | |(Audited) | | |(Unaudited) | |
|Balance Sheet | | | | | | | | | |
| |
| |
Because our auditor has issued a going concern opinion regarding our Company, there is an increased risk associated with an investment in our Company.
We have no revenue. We have incurred significant losses during our development stage and we are dependent upon obtaining financing to continue operations. We had cash and cash equivalents in the amount of $131,197 and $130,676 as of May 31, 2013 and November 30, 2012, respectively. Our future is dependent upon our ability to obtain financing and upon future profitable operations. We plan to seek additional funds through private placements of our common stock and/or through debt financing. Our ability to raise additional financing is unknown. We do not have any formal commitments or arrangements for the advancement or loan of funds or the acquisition of our common stock. For these reasons, our auditors stated in their report that they have substantial doubt we will be able to continue as a going concern. We agree with this assessment. As a result, there is an increased risk that you could lose the entire amount of your investment in our Company. Our expenditures include various costs associated with maintaining public company reporting obligations. This includes projected professional fees to be incurred over a twelve (12) month period as follows: Accounting $18,000, Auditing $24,000 and Legal $12,000. We plan to seek additional funds of $1,124,242 to meet our on-going obligations, which include Advertising $90,000, Product Development $60,000 and various other items for a total of $1,124,272.
Compliance with changing regulation of corporate governance and public disclosure will result in additional expenses and pose challenges for our management team.
Changing laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and SEC regulations promulgated there under, have created uncertainty for public companies and significantly increased the costs and risks associated with accessing the U.S. public markets. Our management team will need to devote significant time and financial resources to comply with both existing and evolving standards for public companies, which will lead to increased general and administrative expenses and a diversion of management time and attention from potential revenue generating activities to compliance activities.
Because we have a no operating history, it is difficult to evaluate your investment in our stock.
Your evaluation of our business will be difficult because we have no operating history. We are a development stage company, as discussed in Item 1. We face a number of risks encountered by early-stage companies, including our need to develop infrastructure to support growth and expansion; our need to obtain long-term sources of financing; our need to establish our marketing, sales and support organizations, and our need to manage expanding operations. Our business strategy may not be successful, and we may not successfully address these risks. If we are unable to sustain profitable operations, investors may lose their entire investment in us.
If any of our designs infringe on the intellectual property rights of others, we may find ourselves involved in costly litigation, which will negatively affect the financial results of our business operations.
Although we have not received notices of any alleged infringement by us, we cannot be certain that our designs do not infringe on issued patents, trademarks and/or copyright rights of others. We may be subject to legal proceedings and claims from time to time in our ordinary course of business arising out of intellectual property rights of others. These legal proceedings associated with infringement actions can be very costly, and thus could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations. We may not seek to register every one of our marks either in the U.S. or in every country in which it is used. As a result, we may not be able to adequately protect those unregistered marks. Furthermore, because of the differences in foreign trademark, patent and other intellectual property or proprietary rights laws, we may not receive the same protection in other countries as we would in the U.S. Failure to protect such proprietary information and brand names could impact our ability to compete effectively and could adversely affect our business, financial condition, or results of operations.
If we are not granted trademark and copyright protection for our designs, we may have difficulty safeguarding our designs potentially resulting in our competitors utilizing them impairing our ability to achieve profitable operations.
Our success will depend, in part, on our ability to obtain and enforce intellectual property rights over our name and original designs in the United States. We own several U.S. federally registered trademarks and have one patent pending on our Extreme Gamer®, video game peripheral . No assurance can be given that any intellectual property rights owned by us will not be challenged, invalidated or circumvented, or that any rights granted will provide a competitive advantage to us. Intellectual property litigation is expensive and time-consuming, and it can be used by well-funded adversaries as a strategy for depleting the resources of a small company such as us. There is no assurance that we will have sufficient resources to successfully prosecute our interests in any litigation that may be brought. The failure to adequately protect our intellectual property and original designs could result in our competitors utilizing our designs and impair our ability to achieve profitable operations.
|7 |
| |
The loss of the services of key personnel could disrupt our business and negatively affect operations.
We depend on the continued services and performance of our two (2) officers, and we do not currently employ a Vice President responsible for sales and marketing of our products and services. We do not have “key person” life insurance policies on any employee and believe that the loss of any of our officers could interrupt our business development and harm our business.
We are dependent upon outside advisors as we have insufficient personnel.
We are required to employ accountants, technical experts, engineers, attorneys, and other consultants or advisors to help further the Company’s business plan. The selection of any such advisors will be made by the Company's officers and directors without any input from stockholders. Furthermore, it is anticipated that such advisors may be engaged on an “as needed” basis without a continuing fiduciary or other obligation to the Company.
Failure to attract, train, and retain personnel to manage our growth could adversely impact our future operating results.
Our strategy to grow our operations may place a greater strain on our managerial, financial and human resources than that experienced by our larger competitors, as they have a larger employee base and administrative support group. As we grow we will need to:
| |● |build and train sales and marketing staff to create an expanding presence in the evolving marketplace for our products and services, and to keep staff informed|
| | |regarding the features, issues and key selling points of our products and services; |
| |● |attract and retain qualified personnel in order to continue to develop reliable and saleable products and services that respond to evolving customer needs; and|
| |● |focus personnel on expanding our internal management, financial and product controls significantly, so that we can maintain control over our operations and |
| | |provide support to other functional areas within our business as the number of personnel and the size of our operations increases. |
Competition for such personnel can be intense, and we cannot assure you that we will be able to attract or retain highly qualified marketing, product engineers, sales and managerial personnel in the future. Our inability to attract and retain the necessary personnel may adversely affect our future growth and profitability. It may be necessary for us to increase the level of compensation paid to existing or new employees to a degree that our operating expenses could be materially increased.
We face competition by other companies that carry significant credit lines as well as strong capitalization making it difficult for us to compete.
Our business is rapidly evolving and intensely competitive. Our potential competitors include existing computer hardware manufacturers that may expand into the video gaming peripheral market. Although we believe that we do not compete directly with any single company that offers our entire range of merchandise, within each category, we have competitors and we may face competition from new entrants. Many of our potential competitors have greater resources, better access to credit, more customers and greater brand recognition. As a result, they may secure better terms and adopt more aggressive pricing from parts suppliers and distributors. They may also be better positioned to devote more resources to software programming, fulfillment, and marketing or to invest in or form joint ventures with our competitors. Increased competition from these or other competitors could negatively impact our business by reducing our potential sales and negatively impacting future profits.
If our products are improperly manufactured, packaged, or labeled or become adulterated, those items may need to be recalled.
We have yet to manufacture our products. We may need to recall the products we sell if products are improperly manufactured, packaged, or labeled or if they become adulterated. Widespread product recalls could result in significant losses due to the costs of a recall and lost sales due to the unavailability of product for a period of time. A significant product recall could also result in adverse publicity, damage to our reputation, and loss of customer confidence in our products, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operations.
Insurance policies may not cover all operating risks and a casualty loss beyond the limits of any reasonable insurance coverage.
We presently have no product liability insurance. Our business is subject to all of the operating hazards and risks normally incidental to handling, storing, and transporting the products we sell. We expect to maintain insurance policies in such amounts and with such coverage and deductibles that we believe will be reasonable and prudent. Nevertheless, our insurance coverage may not be adequate to protect us from all liabilities and expenses that may arise from claims for personal injury or death or property damage arising in the ordinary course of business.
|8 |
| |
Declining economic conditions could negatively impact our business
Our operations are affected by local, national and worldwide economic conditions. Markets in the US and elsewhere have been experiencing extreme volatility and disruption for more than twelve (12) months, due in part to the financial stresses affecting the liquidity of the banking system and the financial markets generally. The consequences of a potential or prolonged recession may include a lower level of economic activity and uncertainty regarding energy prices and the capital and commodity markets. Instability in the financial markets, as a result of recession or otherwise, also may affect the cost of capital and our ability to raise capital.
Nevada law and our articles of incorporation may protect our directors from certain types of lawsuits.
Nevada law provides that our officers and directors will not be liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages for all but certain types of conduct as officers and directors. Our Bylaws permit us broad indemnification powers to all persons against all damages incurred in connection with our business to the fullest extent provided or allowed by law. The exculpation provisions may have the effect of preventing stockholders from recovering damages against our officers and directors caused by their negligence, poor judgment or other circumstances. The indemnification provisions may require us to use our limited assets to defend our officers and directors against claims, including claims arising out of their negligence, poor judgment, or other circumstances.
If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal controls, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results or prevent fraud.
We are subject to reporting obligations under the US securities laws. The SEC, as required by Section 404(a) of the SOX, adopted rules requiring every public company to include a management report on such company's internal controls over financial reporting in its annual report, which contains management's assessment of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting. In addition, if our market capitalization exceeds $75,000,000 we may in the future be required under Section 404(b) to have an independent registered public accounting firm attest to and report on management's assessment of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting. Our management may conclude that our internal controls over our financial reporting are not effective. Moreover, even if our management concludes that our internal controls over financial reporting are effective, our independent registered public accounting firm, if required, may still decline to attest to our management's assessment or may issue a report that is qualified if it is not satisfied with our controls or the level at which our controls are documented, designed, operated or reviewed, or if it interprets the relevant requirements differently from us. Our reporting obligations as a public company will place a significant strain on our management, operational and financial resources and systems for the foreseeable future. Effective internal controls are necessary for us to produce reliable financial reports and are important to help prevent fraud. As a result, our failure to achieve and maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting could result in the loss of investor confidence in the reliability of our financial statements, which in turn could harm our business and negatively impact the trading price of our stock. Furthermore, we anticipate that we will incur considerable costs and use significant management time and other resources in an effort to comply with Section 404(a) and other requirements of the SOX.
Risks Related to Our Common Stock
If a market for our common stock does not develop, stockholders may be unable to sell their shares.
A market for our common stock may never develop. We intend to contact a market-maker for sponsorship of our securities on the OTC Bulletin Board or OTC Markets QB upon the effectiveness of this registration statement. However, our shares may never be traded on the bulletin board, or, if traded, a public market may not materialize.
If our common stock is not traded on the bulletin board or if a public market for our common stock does not develop, investors may not be able to re-sell the shares of our common stock that they have purchased and may lose all of their investment.
Because we do not expect to pay dividends for the foreseeable future, investors seeking cash dividends should not purchase our common stock.
We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock. We currently intend to retain future earnings, if any, to finance the expansion of our business. As a result, we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Our payment of any future dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors after taking into account various factors, including but not limited to our financial condition, operating results, cash needs, growth plans and the terms of any credit agreements that we may be a party to at the time. Accordingly, investors must rely on sales of their own common stock after price appreciation, which may never occur, as the only way to realize their investment. Investors seeking cash dividends should not purchase our common stock.

| |
Because we may be subject to the “Penny Stock” rules once our shares are quoted on the over-the-counter bulletin board, the level of trading activity in our stock may be reduced.
Broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in “penny stocks” are regulated by penny stock rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Penny stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on some national securities exchanges or quoted on Nasdaq). The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, and, if the broker-dealer is the sole market maker, the broker-dealer must disclose this fact and the broker-dealer’s presumed control over the market, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. In addition, broker-dealers who sell these securities to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors” must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. Consequently, these requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity, if any, in the secondary market for a security subject to the penny stock rules, and investors in our common stock may find it difficult to sell their shares.
If our shares are quoted on the over-the-counter bulletin board, we will be required to remain current in our filings with the SEC and our securities will not be eligible for quotation if we are not current in our filings with the SEC.
Upon the effectiveness of this registration statement, we are required to maintain current, periodic and annual reporting with the U.S. SEC. In the event that our shares are quoted on the over-the-counter bulletin board, we must remain current in our filings with the SEC in order for shares of our common stock to be eligible for quotation. In the event that we become delinquent in our required filings with the SEC, quotation of our common stock will be terminated following a 30 day grace period if we do not make our required filing during that time. If our shares are not eligible for quotation on the over-the-counter bulletin board, investors in our common stock may find it difficult to sell their shares.
Additional issuances of equity securities may result in dilution to our existing stockholders.
Our Articles of Incorporation authorize the issuance of 100,000,000 shares of common stock of which there are currently 23,317,431 shares issued and outstanding. The Board of Directors has the authority to issue additional shares of our capital stock up to the authorized amount to provide additional financing in the future and the issuance of any such shares may result in a reduction of the book value or market price of the outstanding shares of our common stock. If we do issue any such additional shares, such issuance also will cause a reduction in the proportionate ownership and voting power of all other stockholders. As a result of such dilution, if you acquire shares of our common stock, your proportionate ownership interest and voting power could be decreased. Further, any such issuances could result in a change of control.
Trading of our stock may be restricted by the SEC's penny stock regulations which may limit a stockholder's ability to buy and sell our stock.
The SEC has adopted Rule 15g-9 which generally defines "penny stock" to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our securities are covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and "accredited investors". The term "accredited investor" refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $10,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000, not including any equity in that person's or person's spouse's primary residence, or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer's confirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities. We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest in and limit the marketability of our common stock.
FINRA sales practice requirements may also limit a stockholder's ability to buy and sell our stock.
In addition to the "penny stock" rules promulgated by the SEC, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer's financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. The FINRA requirements make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock.

There is currently no public market for our securities, and there can be no assurance that any public market will develop or that our common stock will be quoted for trading.
Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our securities and there can be no assurance that an active trading market for the securities offered herein will develop after this offering, or, if developed, be sustained. After the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, we intend to identify a market maker to file an application with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) to have our common stock quoted on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board. We do not currently have a market maker who is willing to participate in this application process, and even if we identify a market maker, there can be no assurance as to whether such application will be accepted. Our common stock may never be quoted on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board, or, even if quoted, a public market may not materialize. If our securities are not eligible for initial quotation, or if quoted, are not eligible for continued quotation on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board or a public trading market does not develop, purchasers of the common stock may have difficulty selling or be unable to sell their securities should they desire to do so, rendering their shares effectively worthless and resulting in a complete loss of their investment.
A decline in the price of our common stock could affect our ability to raise further working capital and adversely impact our operations .
A decline in the price of our common stock could result in a reduction in the liquidity of our common stock and a reduction in our ability to raise additional capital for our operations. Since our operations to date have been principally financed through the sale of equity securities, a decline in the price of our common stock could have an adverse effect upon our liquidity and our continued operations. A reduction in our ability to raise equity capital in the future would have a material adverse effect upon our business plan and operations, including our ability to continue our current operations. If our stock price declines, we may not be able to raise additional capital or generate funds from operations sufficient to meet our obligations.
Shares eligible for future sale may adversely affect the market price of our common stock, as the future sale of a substantial amount of our restricted stock in the public marketplace could reduce the price of our common stock.
From time to time, certain of our stockholders may be eligible to sell all or some of their shares of common stock by means of ordinary brokerage transactions in the open market pursuant to Rule 144, promulgated under the Securities Act ("Rule 144"), subject to certain limitations. In general, pursuant to Rule 144, a stockholder (or stockholders whose shares are aggregated) who has satisfied the required holding period may, under certain circumstances, sell within any three-month period a number of securities which does not exceed the greater of 1% of the then outstanding shares of common stock or the average weekly trading -volume of the class during the four calendar weeks prior to such sale. Rule 144 also permits, under certain circumstances, the sale of securities, without any limitations, by a non-affiliate of our company that has satisfied a one-year holding period. Any substantial sale of common stock pursuant to Rule 144 or pursuant to any resale prospectus may have an adverse effect on the market price of our securities.
State securities laws may limit secondary trading, which may restrict the states in which you can sell the shares offered by this prospectus.
If you purchase shares of our common stock sold by the selling stockholders in this offering, you may not be able to resell the shares in any state unless and until the shares of our common stock are qualified for secondary trading under the applicable securities laws of such state or there is confirmation that an exemption, such as listing in certain recognized securities manuals, is available for secondary trading in such state. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in registering or qualifying our common stock for secondary trading, or identifying an available exemption for secondary trading in our common stock in every state. If we fail to register or qualify, or to obtain or verify an exemption for the secondary trading of, our common stock in any particular state, the shares of common stock could not be offered or sold to, or purchased by, a resident of that state. In the event that a significant number of states refuse to permit secondary trading in our common stock, the market for the common stock will be limited which could drive down the market price of our common stock and reduce the liquidity of the shares of our common stock and a stockholder’s ability to resell shares of our common stock at all or at current market prices, which could increase a stockholder’s risk of losing some or all of his investment.

The price of our shares in this offering was determined by us and may not reflect the actual market price for the securities.
The initial offering price of the common stock offered by the selling stockholders pursuant to this prospectus was determined by us arbitrarily. The price is not based on our financial condition and prospects, market prices of similar securities of comparable publicly traded companies, certain financial and operating information of companies engaged in similar activities to ours, or general conditions of the securities market. The price may not be indicative of the market price, if any, for the common stock in the trading market after this offering. The market price of the securities offered herein, if any, may decline below the initial public offering price. The stock market has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations. In the past, securities class action litigation has often been instituted against various companies following periods of volatility in the market price of their securities. If instituted against us, regardless of the outcome, such litigation would result in substantial costs and a diversion of management’s attention and resources, which would increase our operating expenses and affect our financial condition and business operations.
CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This prospectus contains forward-looking statements and information relating to our business that are based on our beliefs as well as assumptions made by us or based upon information currently available to us. These statements reflect our current views and assumptions with respect to future events and are subject to risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements are often identified by words like: “believe,” “expect,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “project” and similar expressions or words which, by their nature, refer to future events. In some cases, you can also identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “plans,” “predicts,” “potential” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, including the risks in the section entitled Risk Factors beginning on page ____, that may cause our or our industry’s actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. In addition, you are directed to factors discussed in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation section beginning on page __, and the section entitled “Our Business” beginning on page __, and as well as those discussed elsewhere in this prospectus. Other factors include, among others: general economic and business conditions; industry capacity; industry trends; competition; changes in business strategy or development plans; project performance; availability, terms, and deployment of capital; and availability of qualified personnel.
These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this prospectus. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, we expressly disclaim any obligation or undertaking to disseminate any update or revisions of any of the forward-looking statements to reflect any change in our expectations with regard thereto or to conform these statements to actual results.
TAX CONSIDERATIONS
We are not providing any tax advice as to the acquisition, holding or disposition of the securities offered herein. In making an investment decision, investors are strongly encouraged to consult their own tax advisor to determine the U.S. federal, state and any applicable foreign tax consequences relating to their investment in our securities.
USE OF PROCEEDS
We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the common stock by the selling stockholders pursuant to this prospectus. The selling stockholders named herein will receive all proceeds from the sale of the shares of our common stock in this offering. Please see “Selling Stockholders” below for a list of these individuals.
We will pay all expenses (other than transfer taxes) of the selling stockholders in connection with this offering.
DETERMINATION OF THE OFFERING PRICE
There is no established public market for our shares of common stock. The offering price of $0.05 per share was determined by us arbitrarily. We believe that this price reflects the appropriate price that a potential investor would be willing to invest in our company at this initial stage of our development. This price bears no relationship whatsoever to our business plan, the price paid for our shares by our founders, our assets, earnings, book value or any other criteria of value. The offering price should not be regarded as an indicator of the future market price of the securities, which is likely to fluctuate.
The selling stockholders will offer the shares of common stock for resale at $0.05 per share until our shares are quoted on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board, and thereafter at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices. See “Plan of Distribution” for additional information.

MARKET FOR OUR COMMON STOCK
Market Information
There is no established public market for our common stock. After the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, we intend to seek a market maker to file an application with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc., or FINRA, to have our common stock quoted on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board. We do not currently have a market maker who is willing to list quotations for our common stock, and there can be no assurance that an active trading market for our shares will develop, or, if developed, that it will be sustained.
We have issued 23,317,431 shares of our common stock since the Company’s inception on May 12, 2011, all of which are restricted shares. See “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions” below for information with respect to some of these shares.
Warrants
During the period August 17, 2012 to November 30, 2012, in connection with a private placement, the Company raised $312,260 from the sale of securities to 20 investors. For each $1.00 received from these investors, the Company issued one common share and granted two stock warrants. 624,520 stock warrants to purchase common stock were granted in conjunction with the purchase by each investor of our common stock. The terms of the stock warrant include the right to exercise all or a portion of the warrants granted, shall be no more than 2 years from the date of grant of the warrant, and the exercise price is $1.00 per warrant. The warrant may not be transferred or assigned in whole or in part by the grantee.
Stock Options
Pursuant to the employee incentive stock option plan, on July 15, 2012, we granted 2,000,000 shares to each of our two officers and directors. The option agreement provides the employee has no more than five years from the date of the grant to exercise the options at an exercise price of $0.25 per share. The employee may only exercise such options based upon the contracted vesting schedule, which provides that the options vest on a pro-rata basis over 60 months of future services to be rendered by such employee. In addition, on August 15, 2012, we granted 100,000 incentive stock options to another officer of the Company. This employee received the right to exercise the options on the date of grant at an exercise price of $0.25 per share.
Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans
Up to Five Million (5,000,000) shares of our common stock are eligible for issuance pursuant to our 2012 Employees/Consultants Stock Compensation Plan established on July 6, 2012.
Holders
We had 83 holders of record of our common stock as of August 12, 2013.
DIVIDEND POLICY
We have not paid any dividends since our incorporation and do not anticipate the payment of dividends in the foreseeable future. At present, our policy is to retain earnings, if any, to develop and market our product. The payment of dividends in the future will depend upon, among other factors, our earnings, capital requirements, and operating financial conditions.
DILUTION
The shares of common stock to be sold by the selling stockholders are shares that are currently issued and outstanding. Accordingly, there will be no dilution to our existing stockholders as a result of the offering by the selling stockholders pursuant to this prospectus.
SELLING STOCKHOLDERS
The selling stockholders named in this prospectus are offering all of the 510,000 shares of common stock offered through this prospectus. The selling stockholders acquired the 510,000 shares of common stock offered through this prospectus from us in two (2) separate private placements pursuant to Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) which closed on July 5, 2012 and July 19, 2013, respectively thus exempting these offerings from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.
The following table provides as of August 12, 2013, information regarding the beneficial ownership of our common stock held by each of the selling stockholders, including:
|13 |
| |
| |1. |The number and percentage of shares beneficially owned prior to this offering; |
| |2. |The total number of shares to be offered hereby; and |
| |3. |The total number and percentage of shares that will be beneficially owned upon completion of this offering. |
All expenses incurred with respect to the registration of the offering by the selling stockholders of these shares of common stock (other than transfer taxes) will be borne by us, but we will not be obligated to pay any underwriting fees, discounts, commissions or other expenses incurred by the selling stockholders in connection with the sale of such shares.
The shares beneficially owned have been determined in accordance with rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, and the information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose. The information in the table below is current as of the date of this prospectus. All information contained in the table below is based upon information provided to us by the selling stockholders and we have not independently verified this information. The selling stockholders are not making any representation that any shares covered by this prospectus will be offered for sale. The selling stockholders may from time to time offer and sell pursuant to this prospectus any or all of the common stock covered hereby.
For purposes of this table, beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission rules, and includes investment power with respect to shares and shares owned pursuant to warrants or options exercisable within 60 days, if applicable. Except as indicated below, no selling stockholders is the beneficial owner of any additional shares of common stock or other equity securities issued by us or any securities convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, our equity securities.
We may require the selling stockholders to suspend the sales of the securities offered by this prospectus upon the occurrence of any event that makes any statement in this prospectus or the related registration statement untrue in any material respect or that requires the changing of statements in these documents in order to make statements in those documents not misleading.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
This prospectus relates to the registration of the resale of 510,000 shares of our common stock on behalf of the selling stockholders named herein.
The selling stockholders may sell some or all of their shares at a fixed price of $0.05 per share until our shares are quoted on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board and thereafter at prevailing market prices or privately negotiated prices. Sales by selling stockholders must be made at the fixed price of $0.05 until a market develops for the stock.
The shares may be sold or distributed from time to time by the selling stockholders or by pledgees, donees or transferees of, or successors in interest to, the selling stockholders, directly to one or more purchasers (including pledgees) or through brokers or dealers who act solely as agents. The distribution of the shares may be effected in one or more of the following methods:
| |• |Ordinary broker transactions, which may include long or short sales; |
| |• |Transactions involving cross or block trades on any securities or market where our common stock is trading; |
| |• |Purchases by brokers or dealers as principal and resale by such purchasers for their own accounts pursuant to this prospectus; |
| |• |an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange; |
| |• |ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker solicits purchasers; |
| |• |privately negotiated transactions; |
| |• |at the market to or through market makers or into an existing market for the shares; |
| |• |through transactions in options, swaps or other derivatives (whether exchange listed or otherwise); |
| |• |In other ways not involving market makers or established trading markets, including direct sales to purchasers or sales effected through agents; or |
| |• |Any combination of the foregoing. |
|19 |
| |
The selling security holders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.
In addition, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers who may engage in shares in the course of hedging the positions they assume with the selling stockholders. The selling stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers that require the delivery by such broker-dealers of the shares, which shares may be resold thereafter pursuant to this prospectus.
Brokers, dealers, or agents participating in the distribution of the shares may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling stockholders and/or the purchasers of shares for whom such broker-dealers may act as agent (which compensation as to a particular broker-dealer may be in excess of customary commissions). Neither the selling stockholders nor we can presently estimate the amount of such compensation. We know of no existing arrangements between the selling stockholders and any other stockholder, broker, dealer or agent relating to the sale or distribution of the shares. We do not anticipate that either our stockholders or we will engage an underwriter in the selling or distribution of our shares.
We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares of the selling stockholders pursuant to this prospectus. We have agreed to bear the expenses of the registration of the shares, including legal and accounting fees, and such expenses are estimated to be approximately $53,500.
The selling stockholders named in this prospectus must comply with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act in the offer and sale of the common stock being offered by them. The selling stockholders and any broker-dealers who execute sales for the selling stockholders may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In particular, during such times as the selling stockholders may be deemed to be engaged in a distribution of the common stock, and therefore be considered to be an underwriter, they must comply with applicable laws and may among other things:
| |1. |Not engage in any stabilization activities in connection with our common stock; |
| |2. |Furnish each broker or dealer through which common stock may be offered, such copies of this prospectus from time to time, as may be required by such |
| | |broker or dealer, and |
| |3. |Not bid for or purchase any of our securities or attempt to induce any person to purchase any of our securities permitted under the Exchange Act. |
Any commissions received by broker-dealers and any profit on the resale of shares sold by them while acting as principals might be deemed to be underwriting discounts or commissions under the Securities Act.
State Securities - Blue Sky Laws
Transfer of our common stock may also be restricted under the securities regulations or laws promulgated by various states and foreign jurisdictions, commonly referred to as “Blue Sky” laws. Absent compliance with such individual state laws, our common stock may not be traded in such jurisdictions. Because the securities registered hereunder have not been registered for resale under the Blue Sky laws of any state, the holders of such shares and persons who desire to purchase them in any trading market that might develop in the future, should be aware that there may be significant state Blue-Sky law restrictions upon the ability of investors to sell the securities and of purchasers to purchase the securities. Accordingly, investors may not be able to liquidate their investments and should be prepared to hold the shares of our common stock for an indefinite period of time.
Regulation M
We have informed the selling stockholders that Regulation M promulgated under the Exchange Act may be applicable to them with respect to any purchase or sale of our common stock. In general, Rule 102 under Regulation M prohibits any person connected with a distribution of our common stock from directly or indirectly bidding for, or purchasing for any account in which it has a beneficial interest, any of the shares or any right to purchase the shares, for a period of one business day before and after completion of its participation in the distribution.
During any distribution period, Regulation M prohibits the selling stockholders and any other persons engaged in the distribution from engaging in any stabilizing bid or purchasing our common stock except for the purpose of preventing or retarding a decline in the open market price of the common stock. None of these persons may affect any stabilizing transaction to facilitate any offering at the market. As the selling stockholders will be offering and selling our common stock at the market, Regulation M will prohibit them from effecting any stabilizing transaction in contravention of Regulation M with respect to the shares.
|20 |
| |
We also have advised the selling stockholders that they should be aware that the anti-manipulation provisions of Regulation M under the Exchange Act will apply to purchases and sales of shares of common stock by the selling stockholders, and that there are restrictions on market-making activities by persons engaged in the distribution of the shares. Under Regulation M, the selling stockholders or their agents may not bid for, purchase, or attempt to induce any person to bid for or purchase, shares of our common stock while such selling stockholders are distributing shares covered by this prospectus. Regulation M may prohibit the selling stockholders from covering short sales by purchasing shares while the distribution is taking place, despite any contractual rights to do so under the Agreement. We have advised the selling stockholders that they should consult with their own legal counsel to ensure compliance with Regulation M.

The option agreement provides the employee has no more than five years from the date of the grant to exercise the options at an exercise price of $0.25 per share. The employee may only exercise such options based upon the contracted vesting schedule, which provides that the options vest on a pro-rata basis over 60 months of future services to be rendered by such employee.

Non-cumulative Voting
Holders of shares of our common stock do not have cumulative voting rights, which means that the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares, voting for the election of directors, can elect all of the directors to be elected, if they so choose, and, in such event, the holders of the remaining shares will not be able to elect any of our directors.
Cash Dividends
As of the date of this prospectus, we have not paid any cash dividends to stockholders. The declaration of any future cash dividend will be at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend upon our earnings, if any, our capital requirements and financial position, our general economic and other pertinent conditions. It is our present intention not to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future, but rather to reinvest earnings, if any, into our business.
Transfer Agent
We have appointed the following transfer agent for our shares of common stock:
Globex Transfer, L.L.C. 780 Deltona Blvd., Suite 202, Deltona, FL 32725. Phone: (813) 344-4490 Fax: (386) 267-3124. The transfer agent is responsible for all record-keeping and administrative functions in connection with our issued and outstanding common stock.
SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE
There is no public market for our common stock. We cannot predict the effect, if any, that market sales of shares of our common stock or the availability of shares of our common stock for sale will have on the market price of our common stock. Sales of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market could adversely affect the market prices of our common stock and could impair our future ability to raise capital through the sale of our equity securities.
Upon completion of this offering, based on our outstanding shares as of August 12, 2013, we will have outstanding an aggregate of 23,317,431 shares of our common stock. Of these shares, upon effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, the 510,000 shares covered hereby will be freely transferable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act.
The remaining 22,763,881 restricted shares of common stock to be outstanding after this offering are owned by our executive officers and directors, known as our “affiliates,” and other shareholders, and may not be resold in the public market except in compliance with the registration requirements of the Securities Act or under an exemption under Rule 144 under the Securities Act or otherwise.
Rule 144
In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, a person who is not one of our affiliates and who is not deemed to have been one of our affiliates at any time during the three months preceding a sale and who has beneficially owned shares of our common stock that are deemed restricted securities for at least six months would be entitled after such six-month holding period to sell the common stock held by such person, subject to the continued availability of current public information about us (which current public information requirement is eliminated after a one-year holding period).
|23 |
| |
A person who is one of our affiliates, or has been an affiliate of ours at any time during the three months preceding a sale, and who has beneficially owned shares of our common stock that are deemed restricted securities for at least six months would be entitled after such six-month holding period to sell his or her securities, provided that he or she sells an amount that does not exceed 1% of the number of shares of our common stock then outstanding, or 232,738 shares immediately after this offering (or, if our common stock is listed on a national securities exchange, the average weekly trading volume of the shares during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of a notice on Form 144 with respect to the sale), subject to the continued availability of current public information about us, compliance with certain manner of sale provisions, and the filing of a Form 144 notice of sale if the sale is for an amount in excess of 10,000 shares or for an aggregate sale price of more than $50,000 in a three-month period.
Rule 144 is not available for resale of restricted securities of shell companies or former shell companies until one year elapses from the time that such company is no longer considered a shell company.
EXPERTS

BUSINESS
Overview
Exeo Entertainment, Inc. designs, develops, licenses, manufacturers, and markets consumer electronics in the video gaming and smart TV sector. Our current business objectives are:
| |• |Establish name recognition for Exeo Entertainment, Inc., Psyko Audio ™, Zaaz ™ and Extreme Gamer® |
Activities to date
We incorporated in the state of Nevada on May 12, 2011. We are a development stage company. From our inception to date we have not generated any revenues and continue to operate at a loss. Our operations have centered on the design and engineering of peripherals in the video gaming and smart TV sector.
We have accomplished the following:
1.) We have executed an exclusive license agreement with Digital Extreme Technologies, Inc. to secure the rights to manufacture and distribute the Extreme Gamer®, Zaaz™ keyboard and the Reality Pro™ handheld gaming system.
2.) We are completing the mechanical design on the Extreme Gamer ® and have four one-off prototypes.
3.) We are completing the industrial/mechanical/electrical/ software engineering on the Zaaz™ keyboards and have five one-off, pre- production samples.
4.) In June 2013 we executed a license agreement with Psyko Audio Labs Canada to manufacture and distribute the Carbon and Krypton line of patented headphones; Patent US # 8,000,486
5.) In June 2013 we debuted the Extreme Gamer®, the Zaaz™ keyboard, and the Psyko™ Krypton headphones to the public at the 2013 Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) held June 11-13.
6.) In July 2013 we executed a contract with Elite Product Management, Ltd. Honk Kong to handle the sourcing, procurement, QA, Logistics and manufacturing of the Psyko™ headphones, Zaaz™ keyboard, and the Extreme Gamer®.

Products and Services
Products under development include The Zaaz™ wireless keyboard, The Extreme Gamer®; a multi-disc video game changer, and the Psyko Krypton™ surround sound gaming headphones. We have completed the engineering on the three aforementioned products and are in process of establishing manufacturing capabilities.
Strategy and Marketing Plan
Once manufacturing is established we intend on utilizing existing consumer electronics distributers, such as Synnex Corp. (SNX) to distribute our products to big box retailers such as Best Buy, GameStop, and Fry’s Electronics.
Competition
Psyko ™ Headphones
While our Psyko™ headphone offering differs from the competition in the method of 5.1-surround sound delivery, we will face competition from manufacturers with established channels of distribution, mature capital structures, and significantly larger marketing budgets. Well established gaming headphone manufacturers include Turtle Beach; a private company, Tritton – a subsidiary of Mad Catz Interactive (MCZ), and Astro Gaming which is a subsidiary of Skullcandy (SKUL).
While other headphone manufacturers replicate 5.1 surround sound through Digital Signal Processing (DSP), the Psyko™ headphones use a patented method of sound delivery that doesn’t require the use of DSP. Management believes that the difference in audio quality is a major differentiating factor between our product offering and what is currently available on the market.
Zaaz™ Keyboard
The majority of the competition in the Bluetooth wireless keyboard arena is concentrated amongst a few well-known companies such as Logitech (LOGI), Microsoft (MSFT), Apple (AAPL), and Samsung (SSNLF). While management believes that only Samsung makes keyboards specifically designed to interact with smart TVs, and that their keyboards only work with certain Samsung TVs, there can be no assurance that other companies do not currently manufacture, or plan to manufacture, such units in the future. Any such companies that manufacture keyboards capable of connecting to a smart TV would further increase competition.
Exeo Entertainment, Inc. intends on differentiating the Zaaz™ keyboard through a set of features designed specifically for smart TV users. The Zaaz™ keyboard features a customized set of “one touch access keys” that allows users to access specific, user defined features of the consumers smart TV. Examples include one touch access to the following: Netflix, Facebook, Hulu, and Amazon. Additionally, the Zaaz™ keyboard will differentiate itself by including a full size track pad – built into the keyboard – to navigate, point, click, and select.
Extreme Gamer®
The Extreme Gamer® is a patent pending (patent application 12/543,296) multi-disc video game changer that connects to current generation video game consoles offered by Nintendo, Microsoft, and Sony. `
Management believes from attending the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) January 11-13, 2013, having a booth and its products on display at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) June 11 – 13, 2013 (booth 4010), and from regularly reading Video Gaming news from sources such as , , , and that no other company is currently manufacturing a multi-disc video game changer. If such a unit is being made management is unaware of its existence.
Management however acknowledges that while it cannot find any commercially available products that our patents may never be awarded and that we could face competition from any number of existing video game accessory manufacturers.
Sources and Availability of Suppliers and Supplies
Currently we have access to an adequate supply of products, from various manufacturers. These companies and their products are new, not well established, and are a subject to significant risk and uncertainty.
Research and Development Expenditures
Total research and development expenses were $30,425 for the three months ended May 31, 2013 compared to $57,353 for the three months ended June 30, 2012. Total research and development cost increased to $193,405 for the year ended November 30, 2012 as compared to $0 for the period from inception (May 12, 2011) to year ended December 31, 2011. These increases were primarily due to increasing expenditures associated with research and development. For the period from inception (May 12, 2011) to May 31, 2013, the Company incurred $281,243 in research and development expenses.

Dependence on One or a few Major Customers
We do not anticipate dependence on one or a few major customers into the foreseeable future.
Patents, Trademarks, Licenses, Franchise Restrictions and Contractual Obligations and Concessions
We entered into a license agreement with Digital Extreme Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation, (also referred to as DXT) for use of certain intellectual property associated with the products being designed and developed by us. The Black Widow keyboard is now known as the Zaaz keyboard. DXT worked to design and develop the Extreme Gamer as well as the Black Widow keyboard. We continue to work under a license agreement with DXT to advance the use of technologies designed by DXT.
DXT applied to the U.S. PTO for a patent of its Multi Video Game Changer. The agency assigned an application number of 12/543,296 to its application, which was published on February 25, 2010. The proposed 10 disk Video Game Changer is designed to interface directly with Sony PS3®, Nintendo Wii®, and Mircosoft Xbox 360®. The Company anticipates incorporating Blu-Ray® compatible optics technology under a license agreement. This would allow users to insert Blu-Ray® discs into the Video Game Changer, and once connected to the video game console, to play movies on television. Sony PS3® is now capable of playing Blu-Ray® discs, but only with a capacity for a single disk. This technology would provide for the loading of up to 10 DVD’s, CD’s or Blu-Ray® discs into a single console that communicates with a video game console via USB. Furthermore, users would be able to plug in any external hard disc drive (“HDD”) directly into the console via an internal ATPI port, allowing movies, music and pictures to be played directly from the HDD.
Bankruptcy or Similar Proceedings
There has been no bankruptcy, receivership or similar proceedings.
Compliance with Government Regulation
We will be required to comply with all regulations, rules and directives of governmental authorities and agencies applicable to the operation of any facility in any jurisdiction in which we would conduct activities.

Board Composition
Our Bylaws provide that the Board of Directors shall consist of one (1) or more members, but not more than nine (9), and that our shareholders shall determine the number of directors at each regular meeting. Each director serves for a term that expires at the next regular meeting of the shareholders or until his successor is elected and qualified.
Committees of the Board of Directors
We do not presently have a separately constituted audit committee, compensation committee, nominating committee, executive committee or any other committees of our Board of Directors. Nor do we have an audit committee “financial expert.” As such, our entire Board of Directors acts as our audit committee and handles matters related to compensation and nominations of directors.
Potential Conflicts of Interest
Since we do not have an audit or compensation committee comprised of independent directors, the functions that would have been performed by such committees are performed by our directors. Thus, there is a potential conflict of interest in that our directors and officers have the authority to determine issues concerning management compensation and audit issues that may affect management decisions. We are not aware of any other conflicts of interest with any of our executives or directors.
|27 |
| |
Director Independence
We are not subject to listing requirements of any national securities exchange or national securities association and, as a result, we are not at this time required to have our board comprised of a majority of “independent directors.” Our determination of independence of directors is made using the definition of “independent director” contained in Rule 4200(a)(15) of the Marketplace Rules of the NASDAQ Stock Market (“NASDAQ”) , even though such definitions do not currently apply to us because we are not listed on NASDAQ. We have determined that none of our directors currently meet the definition of “independent” as within the meaning of such rules as a result of their current positions as our executive officers.
Significant Employees
We have only one (1) additional employee other than the executive officers described above.
Family Relationships
There are no family relationships between our officers and directors.
Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings
No director, person nominated to become a director, executive officer, promoter or control person of our company has, during the last five years: (i) been convicted in or is currently subject to a pending a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses); (ii) been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to any federal or state securities or banking or commodities laws including, without limitation, in any way limiting involvement in any business activity, or finding any violation with respect to such law, nor (iii) any bankruptcy petition been filed by or against the business of which such person was an executive officer or a general partner, whether at the time of the bankruptcy or for the two years prior thereto.
Stockholder Communications with the Board
We have not implemented a formal policy or procedure by which our stockholders can communicate directly with our Board of Directors. Nevertheless, every effort has been made to ensure that the views of stockholders are heard by the Board of Directors or individual directors, as applicable, and that appropriate responses are provided to stockholders in a timely manner. We believe that we are responsive to stockholder communications, and therefore have not considered it necessary to adopt a formal process for stockholder communications with our Board. During the upcoming year, our Board will continue to monitor whether it would be appropriate to adopt such a process.

Summary Compensation Table
The following table sets forth certain compensation information for: (i) each person who served as the chief executive officer of our company at any time during the year ended November 30, 2012, regardless of compensation level, and (ii) each of our other executive officers, other than the chief executive officer, serving as an executive officer at any time during 2012.

This amount, limited to its cost basis, is recorded as a short-term obligation due to the officer as a current liability of $3,810. The Company accrues interest on the amount owed to the officer/director at a rate of 8% per annum. The Company has incurred a total of $138 interest expense for the year ended November 30, 2012.

Plan of Operation
Our Business
Exeo Entertainment, Inc. designs, develops, licenses, manufacturers, and markets consumer electronics in the video gaming and smart TV sector. Products under development include The Zaaz™ wireless keyboard, The Extreme Gamer®; a multi-disc video game changer, and the Psyko Krypton™ surround sound gaming headphones. Our corporate office is located at 4478 Wagon Trail Ave. Las Vegas, NV 89118. The 10,068 facilities consist of 3700 square feet of office and 6,368 of square feet of warehouse space including a grade level door and loading dock. Our two directors and officers, Mr. Robert Scott Amaral and Jeffrey Weiland work from this location.
We have completed the engineering on the three aforementioned products and are in process of establishing manufacturing capabilities. Once manufacturing is established we intend on utilizing existing consumer electronics distributers, such as Synnex Corp. (SNX) to distribute our products to big box retailers such as Best Buy, GameStop, and Fry’s Electronics.
Our goals over the next twelve (12) months are to:
| |• |Commercialization of the Zaaz™ keyboard |
| |• |Development and Commercialization of the Psyko™ Krypton headphones for video game consoles (Microsoft Xbox and Sony PlayStation). |
| |• |Commercialization of the Extreme Gamer® |
| |• |Increase sales, engineering, and support personnel |

Expenditures
The following chart provides an overview of our budgeted expenditures by significant area of activity over the next twelve (12) months, assuming we are able to attract sufficient debt or equity financing. There can be no assurance that we will be able to attract financing and we may be required to scale back operations accordingly (See “Risk Factors”).
The following table outlines the planned use of working capital and does not take Inventory expenses into account. If we are able to attract sufficient debt or equity financing and are successful in securing manufacturing facilities for the Psyko™ headphones, Zaaz™ keyboards, and the Extreme Gamer® and are able to secure orders, we will need to secure inventory financing. There can be no assurance that such financing will be available to us, and our inability to obtain such financing would materially impact our ability to execute our business plan as outlined in this Registration Statement (See “Risk Factors”).
| | |Months 1-3 |
| |o |Define SOP / QA and testing procedures (Psyko™) |
| |o |Complete BOM and lock in pricing (Psyko™) |
| |o |Sign contract with factory for production (Psyko™) |
| |o |Molding for Zaaz™ keyboard |
| |o |Produce test samples (Zaaz™) |
| |o |Hire financial, sales, engineering staff |
Converter Box
Prior to Exeo Entertainment, Inc.’s license agreement with Psyko Audio Labs Canada, the Psyko™ Krypton and Carbon line of headphones had been sold and were compatible with video gaming on the personal computer (PC). It is our intention to make the necessary modifications to the system, namely the development of a Dolby converter box, to make the headphones available for Xbox and PlayStation (console) use. We have working prototypes of the Dolby converter box, but we will need to source components, make engineering refinements, and have molds for mass production made.
|33 |
| |
SOP/QA/Testing
We have recently engaged the services of Elite Product Management Ltd, HK to oversee and manage the manufacturing process in Shenzhen China. We expect that during month one through three Elite will be able to clearly define standard operating procedures for the assembly line, testing, and quality assurance. These procedures will be the foundation for all manufacturing of the Psyko™ line going forward.
Complete BOM
In months one through three the company anticipates to be able to complete the bill of materials and lock in supplier pricing given our minimum order quantity (MOQ) that we’ve negotiated. While we may continue to use suppliers, who had previously done business with Psyko Audio Labs Canada, during this time frame we will get competitive bids from a number of suppliers. Additionally, since we intend to make the headphones compatible with video game consoles, we will need to source all components associated with the Dolby converter box.
Contract with Factory
During the month one through three period Exeo Entertainment, Inc. intends on signing a contract with Shenzhen Bada Sheng Electronic CO, Ltd. for the assembly of the Psyko™ carbon and Krypton line of headphones. We are in contact with the factory through our consultant Kitty Lo of Elite Product Management Ltd, HK. We will need to specify minimum order quantities, QA, Billing terms, and determine the percentage of returns credited towards future production.
Zaaz™ Molding
We presently work with TecPower Co. Ltd. HK as a manufacturing rep on prototyping, engineering, manufacturing, and tooling. During this period we intend on securing all work in process inventory, CAD files, design documentation, prototypes and any and all intellectual property owned by Exeo Entertainment, Inc. in order to transfer that to Elite Product Management Ltd, HK. We expect that Elite will utilize existing contacts to secure the best price on manufacturing molds for the Zaaz™ keyboard production. The actual cost of the mold has not been built into the use of proceeds as it is anticipated that we will be able to spread the cost over the production of the Zaaz™ keyboard thereby incurring no upfront cost.
Molds generally take 4-6 weeks to manufacture and that time increases with any changes that need to be made. Based on the fact that we already have Prototypes that have gone through several revisions, we expect to have minimal, if any, changes during the molding phase. As such we can reasonably expect that molds should be complete by month three.
Zaaz™ Test Samples
Assuming we were successful in previous tasks we expect to have test samples generated in month three. If everything is correct and to specification and assuming no further changes the samples become the golden sample that all future units are measured against. These test samples differ from the one-off custom built units that we currently own in that they are built utilizing steel molds. The steel molds are capable of producing hundreds of thousands of units in an assembly line production facility.
Financial/Sales/Engineering Staff
The company plans on hiring three engineers, one CFO, and one VP sales during months one through three. One engineer for hardware, one for software, and one for mechanical. If in the event we are unable to secure engineers with the required skills necessary we will continue to outsource such functions. We believe, however, that having in house engineers will significantly reduce the amount of time we spend going back and forth with outsourced service providers.
|34 |
| |
In anticipation of being publicly listed the company intends on hiring a CFO to handle financial reporting. If the company is unable to attract a full time person we will look to engage a contract CFO. In addition, we expect that during months one through three that we will hire a VP of sales to handle product sales to distributors and retailers for the Psyko™ headphones, the Zaaz™ keyboard, and the Extreme Gamer®.
Months 4 through 6
During the following three (3) months, we expect to achieve the following:
| |o |Receipt of first 5000 units (Psyko™) |
| |o |Bids from suppliers (Zaaz™) |
| |o |Solidify BOM (Zaaz™) |
| |o |Define SOP / QA / Testing (Zaaz™) |
| |o |Begin Zaaz™ Production |
| |o |Samples to distributors (Zaaz™) |
| |o |Hire financial, sales, engineering staff |
| |o |Begin advertising / promotion campaign (Psyko™) |
Receipt of Psyko™ Units
If successful in prior months, with prior tasks, Exeo Entertainment, Inc. expects to receive its first batch of Psyko™ Headphones compatible with the Xbox and PlayStation consoles.
Zaaz™ Supplier Bids
We intend on switching the emphasis from the Psyko™ headphones to the Zaaz™ keyboard during months four through six. We expect that the first task will be to utilize the resources of Elite Product Management Ltd, HK for the various subcomponents utilized in the manufacturing of the Zaaz™ keyboard.
Exeo Entertainment has prototype samples from TecPower and has also paid to have custom circuit boards designed to our specification. However, these components still need to be manufactured in quantities of 5000. Components we will need to source in quantity include: plastics, keys, batteries, backlighting, and Bluetooth as well as IRDA modules. Included in the sourcing component, expected to happen beginning in month four, is competitive bids from Chinese factories for the assembly of all aforementioned assemblies.
Zaaz™ BOM
During the month four to six timeframe Exeo Entertainment, Inc. anticipates receiving a complete bill of materials from Elite Product management. The process and what is contained in the BOM is exactly as detailed above for the Psyko™ headphones.
SA/QA/Testing
After signing off on the BOM Exeo Entertainment, Inc. anticipates having to establish the same type of standard operating procedures that the company created in earlier months for the Psyko™ headphones. All procedures indicating which station, on the production line, checks which component – at what frequency – and the potential outcomes of said procedures and any further actions necessary. The SOP details step by step exactly what occurs on the assembly line, who is responsible for testing, what the acceptable results of the test should be, and what happens next.
Zaaz™ Production
Assuming we were successful in earlier steps and have secured the necessary funding we anticipate being able to go into production on the Zaaz™ keyboard in month six.
Advertising & Promotion (Psyko™)
Exeo Entertainment, Inc. anticipates beginning an advertising campaign in the month four through six periods. We expect to start small, via social media outlets such as: Facebook, Google +, Twitter, and YouTube. The plan is to utilize existing gamers to create videos, share media, do product reviews and engage their friends in their purchase of the Psyko™ headphones.
|35 |
| |
Additionally, the company intends on using sponsorship of professional video gamers and endorsements in order to create brand awareness. Electronic sports tournaments draw thousands of spectators and many teams have sponsorship arrangements with gaming headphone manufacturers such as Astro, Tritton, and Turtle Beach. Examples of electronic sports organizations include World Cyber Games ( ) and Major League Gaming ( ).
Months 7 through 9
During the following three (3) months, we expect to achieve the following:
| |o |Distributer samples – Zaaz™ keyboard |
| |o |Extreme Gamer ® Sourcing |
| |o |Begin Engineering on wireless Psyko™ headphones |
| |o |Psyko™ wireless renderings |
Distributor Samples
If we were successful in previous months it is anticipated that in the months seven through nine periods that we will have the Zaaz keyboard complete and send samples to distributors as well as big box retailers. In talking with distributors such as Synnex Corporation, our understanding is that new products are evaluated and tested by a committee and then taken to retailers to gauge interest. Retailer interest determines initial order levels.
We expect that we will retain the rights to service the major big box retailers directly. Management believes that companies such as Best Buy, GameStop, Target, Fry’s Electronics, etc. would be best served direct – without the use of a distributer. As such in our negotiations we expect that we will have to send product samples to the major aforementioned chains.
Extreme Gamer® Sourcing
At present the company only has four functional one-off units of the Extreme Gamer®. The units demonstrate the operation of the product and will be used as a guide in determining the best suppliers to use for the various subcomponents. We will need to negotiate terms from suppliers on subcomponents as well as lock in pricing on final assembly. The sourcing function for the Extreme Gamer®, as well as our other products, is covered under our contract with Elite Product Management.
Psyko Wireless Engineering
In our contract with James Hildebrandt and Hildebrandt technologies, Inc. we have specified that we are contracting for the development of a wireless version on the Psyko™ headphones. We expect the development process to span several months and not be completed prior to month twelve. However, once the previous tasks related to the Psyko™ have been completed we expect to begin work on the wireless version.
Psyko™ Wireless Renderings
As discussed in the previous section, we expect to begin working on the wireless version of the Psyko™ headphones in months seven to nine. The first step in that process is to have conceptual drawings- both pen/paper as well as 3D – completed. We will use these drawing to determine the direction we want the “look and feel” of the product to take. These will be the drawings we refer to in later months as we begin building physical prototypes.
Months 10 through 12
| |o |Define SOP/ QA / Testing procedures (Extreme Gamer™) |
| |o |Extreme Gamer® tooling |
| |o |Extreme Gamer® Samples |
| |o |Physical models Psyko™ wireless |
| |o |Sourcing on Psyko™ wireless units |
|36 |
| |
During the following three (3) months, we expect to achieve the following:
SOP/QA/Testing
Assuming we’ve been successful in previous tasks, in prior months, we expect that we will begin defining exactly what needs to be done from an assembly standpoint to mass manufacture (5000+ units) the Extreme Gamer®. We will additionally need to establish testing procedures and policies relating to various outcomes of each test. In other words, what happens to the component if it fails a test? Possible outcomes include: rework, reject, retest, etc.
Extreme Gamer® Tooling (molds)
Exeo Entertainment, Inc. will need to begin the tooling phase early in the month ten through twelve period in order to have time for subsequent tasks, which are dependent on having molds available. From discussion with Chinese mold makers’ management believes that we can have molds completed within a six-week period assuming minimal corrections need to be made. The molds will be used in conjunction with injection molding machines to cast plastics components for the Extreme Gamer®.
Extreme Gamer® Samples
Assuming we begin the prior step – tooling, early enough in the month 10 through 12 period, we expect that we will have time to generate samples that were manufactured from the molds that we had manufactured. If everything is correct and is within spec we can begin securing purchase orders.
Psyko™ wireless modeling
Assuming we’ve been successful in previous tasks the company will be in a position to change the emphasis from manufacturing the Extreme Gamer to designing and creating the wireless version of the Psyko™ headphones. After renderings have been created we expect to begin building physical models of the wireless headphones. The physical models serve as a “proof” in order to verify and/or change any designs. The company intends to use rapid prototyping services, which utilize 3D printers that the company has used on previous projects (Zaaz™ / Extreme Gamer®).
Psyko™ wireless sourcing
Once physical models of the wireless version of the Psyko™ headphones are complete we will need to begin sourcing supplier for all of the subcomponents. We expect that we will use the majority of the suppliers that we, would at the time, be using on the Psyko (non-wireless) build. The headphones remain identical between units the thing that changes is a wireless, blue tooth charging station. It is those particular components that the company will need to source during this period. As with the sourcing on the previously discussed products – Exeo Entertainment, Inc. has executed a contract with Elite Product Management Group, Ltd. to specifically handle such tasks.
We do not currently have any arrangements for financing and we can provide no assurance to investors we will be able to find such financing. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available to us, or on terms that are acceptable. Consequently, we may not be able to proceed with our intended business plans or complete the development and commercialization of our product.

The Company’s principal sources and uses of funds are investments from accredited investors. The Company would need to raise additional capital in order to meet its business plan. Management intends to secure additional funds using borrowing or the further sale of Regulation D, Section 506 securities to accredited investors in the future. There is no assurance that Company may secure funding, or whether it can do so on terms acceptable to it, or at all, and its liquidity would be severely compromised.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the company will continue as a going concern which contemplates, amongst other things, the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the course of business.
We anticipate that our future liquidity requirements will arise from the need to fund our growth, pay our current obligations and future capital expenditures. The primary sources of funding for such requirements are expected to be cash generated from operations and raising additional funds from private sources and/or debt financing.
Going Concern Consideration
Our independent auditors included an explanatory paragraph in their report on the accompanying financial statements expressing concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements contain additional note disclosures describing the circumstances that lead to this disclosure by our independent auditors.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of our financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses and related disclosures about contingent assets and liabilities. We base these estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on various other information and assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstance. Estimates and assumptions about future events and their effects cannot be perceived with certainty and, accordingly, these estimates may change as additional information is obtained, as more experience is acquired, as our operating environment changes and as new events occur. Our critical accounting policies are listed in the notes to our audited financial statements included in of this registration Statement.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared by the Company without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows at May 31, 2013, and for all periods presented herein, have been made. It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s November 31, 2012 audited financial statements. The results of operations for the period ended May 31, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full years.
These accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles and have been consistently applied to the preparation of the financial statements. The Company will adopt accounting policies and procedures based upon the nature of future transactions.
Nature of Business
The Company was incorporated in Nevada on May 12, 2011, and is in the development stage. The Company is based in Las Vegas, Nevada, and designs, develops, licenses, manufactures, and distributes its products. The Company plans to market the Zaaz™ Keyboard , to be used with Samsung’s Smart TV® as well as other smart devices, the Extreme Gamer™ , and other new peripheral products for the video gaming industry, including the Psyko Krypton™ surround sound gaming headphones.
Development Stage Company
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles related to development-stage companies. A development-stage company is one in which planned principal operations have not commenced or if its operations have commenced, there has been no significant revenues there from.
Basis of Presentation
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and are presented in US dollars.
Accounting Basis
The Company uses the accrual basis of accounting and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP” accounting). The Company has adopted a November 30 fiscal year end for 2012. Prior to that, the Company adopted a calendar year end for 2011.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers cash on hand, cash in banks, certificates of deposit, time deposits, and U.S. government and other short-term securities with maturities of three months or less when purchased as cash and cash equivalents.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Notes to Financial Statements
MAY 31, 2013
Note A: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at the lower of cost or fair value. Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, as follows:
|Description | |Estimated Life |
|Furniture & Equipment | |5 years |
|Vehicles | |5 years |
The estimated useful lives are based on the nature of the assets as well as current operating strategy and legal considerations such as contractual life. Future events, such as property expansions, property developments, new competition, or new regulations, could result in a change in the manner in which the Company uses certain assets requiring a change in the estimated useful lives of such assets.
Maintenance and repairs that neither materially add to the value of the asset nor appreciably prolong its life are charged to expense as incurred. Gains or losses on disposition of property and equipment are included in the statements of operations. There were no dispositions during the periods presented.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company evaluates its property and equipment and other long-lived assets for impairment in accordance with related accounting standards. The Company has impaired no fixed assets during the periods presented. For assets to be held and used (including projects under development), fixed assets are reviewed for impairment whenever indicators of impairment exist. If an indicator of impairment exists, the Company first groups its assets with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities (the “asset group”). Secondly, the Company estimates the undiscounted future cash flows that are directly associated with and expected to arise from the completion, use and eventual disposition of such asset group. The Company estimates the undiscounted cash flows over the remaining useful life of the primary asset within the asset group. If the undiscounted cash flows exceed the carrying value, no impairment is indicated. If the undiscounted cash flows do not exceed the carrying value, then an impairment is measured based on fair value compared to carrying value, with fair value typically based on a discounted cash flow model. If an asset is still under development, future cash flows include remaining construction costs.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are computed using the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws. A valuation allowance is provided for the amount of deferred tax assets that, based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized.
Management Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Notes to Financial Statements
MAY 31, 2013
Note A: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when products are fully delivered or services have been provided and collection is reasonably assured. From inception, the Company recognized no revenue.
Basic Income (Loss) Per Share
Basic income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net loss applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net income available to common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of shares adjusted for any potentially dilutive debt or equity.
Stock-Based Compensation
Pursuant to ASC Topic 718, the Company recorded the fair value of the stock options on a monthly basis over the vesting period as stock-based compensation expense. The fair value of the options is calculated using the Black-Scholes method as of the date of grant. In fiscal year 2012, the Company adopted an incentive stock option plan for its employees. In fiscal year 2012 the Company granted stock options to three officers of the Company. These are described in Note G- Stock Options and Warrants.
Concentrations of Risk
The Company’s bank accounts are deposited in insured institutions. The funds are insured up to $250,000. The Company’s bank deposits did not exceed the insured amounts. At June 30, 2013 and November 30, 2012, the Company’s bank deposits did not exceed the insured amounts.
Accounting for Research and Development Costs
The Company records an expense in the current period for all research and development costs, which include Hardware Development Costs. The Company does not capitalize such amounts. Pursuant to ASC Topic 730 Research and Development, once we determine that our Extreme Gamer video game console is technologically feasible and a working model is put into use, the Company will capitalize Software Development costs associated with its products. Once this occurs we will determine a useful life of our software and apply a reasonable economic life of five years or less. At this time, our software development costs only relate to the Extreme Gamer and Zaaz keyboard hardware. The software development costs cannot be separated from the associated hardware development. We do not develop stand alone software for sale to the retail consumers, rather we develop software in order to operate the designed hardware. The software is designed to be encoded within chips inside the hardware. Thus, it has been determined that the current software development costs, which are intertwined within the hardware development, are to be expensed rather than capitalized pursuant to ASC Topic 730.
This conclusion is also based upon our decision to devote further research and development costs in the support of our product interface to the video game players: Sony PS3® (and other products such as Nintendo Wii® and Microsoft Xbox 360®).

Note A: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Liquidity and Going Concern
Management believes that the Company has sufficient capital reserves to operate without the need for an infusion of additional capital for the next 12 months. However, this would not be sufficient to allow the Company to continue with its current budget for research and development required to complete its designs for the Psyko Krypton™ surround sound gaming headphones, the Zaaz™ keyboard and the Extreme Gamer™.
The Company has incurred an accumulated deficit of $1,202,396 since inception and receives no revenue from the sales of products. The Company incurred significant initial research and product development costs, including expenditures associated with hardware engineering and the design and development of its hardware components and prototypes associated with the Zaaz™ keyboard and the Extreme Gamer. The Company also incurred costs associated with its acquisition of property, plant and equipment for its 10,000 square foot office and warehouse.
These factors create substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company generating cash from the sale of its common stock or obtaining debt financing and attaining future profitable operations. Management’s plan includes selling its equity securities and obtaining debt financing to fund its capital requirement and ongoing operations; however, there can be no assurance the Company will be successful in these efforts.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company does not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flow.

We incurred equity issuance costs of $7,489 and $3,180 for the three month period ending May 31, 2013 and June 30, 2012, respectively. We incurred equity issuance costs of $17,149 and $19,332 for the six month period ending May 31, 2013 and the year ended November 30, 2012, respectively. Rather than expense these costs, such items are charged against the Company’s equity.

Note G: STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS
Stock-Based Compensation to Employees
Pursuant to the employee incentive stock option plan, on July 15, 2012, the Company granted 2,000,000 shares to each of its two officers and directors. The option agreement provides the employee has no more than five years from the date of the grant to exercise the options at an exercise price of $0.25 per share. The employee may only exercise such options based upon the contracted vesting schedule, which provides that the options vest on a pro-rata basis over 60 months of future services to be rendered by such employee. In addition, on August 15, 2012, the Company granted 100,000 incentive stock options to another officer of the Company. This employee received the right to exercise the options on the date of grant at an exercise price of $0.25 per share. As the officer was fully vested in his right to such exercise at the time of the grant, the Company recorded the entire fair value of his stock options at the date of grant.

MAY 31, 2013
Note G: STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS (CONTINUED)
The fair value of the options is calculated using the Black-Scholes method as of the date of grant. The factors used to calculate fair value of the stock options include the following: 1) Risk free interest rate, 2) Volatility of returns of the underlying asset, 3) current stock price, 4) Term of the Option, and 5) The exercise price. The risk free interest rate used in this calculation equals 0.63% and 0.80% for the stock options granted on July 15, 2012 and August 15, 2012, respectively. The term of the option is 5 years from the date of the grant. The exercise price is $0.25 per share. The current stock price at the dates of grant, which is July 15, 2012 and August 15, 2012, is $0.25 based on the sale of common shares to investors for the eleven months prior to the date of grant. Several industry comparables to this Company were used in order to determine an approximation of the volatility. The approximate volatility based on these comparables is approximately 458%.
The following is a summary of the status of all of the Company’s stock options issued to the Company’s management as of May 31, 2013 and the changes from December 1, 2012 to May 31, 2013.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Exeo Entertainment, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Exeo Entertainment, Inc. (A Development Stage Company) (the “Company”) as of November 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for the year ended November 30, 2012, for the period from inception (May 12, 2011) to December 31, 2011, and for the cumulative period from inception (May 12, 2011) to November 30, 2012. Exeo Entertainment, Inc.’s management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Exeo Entertainment, Inc. (A Development Stage Company) as of November 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for the year ended November 30, 2012, for the period from inception (May 12, 2011) to December 31, 2011, and for the cumulative period from inception (May 12, 2011) to November 30, 2012 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note A to the financial statements, the Company has incurred losses from operations, which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note A. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Notes to Financial Statements
NOVEMBER 30, 2012 AND DECEMBER 31, 2011
Note A: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
This summary of significant accounting policies of Exeo Entertainment, Inc. (the “Company”) is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company ’s management, who is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to generally accepted accounting principles and have been consistently applied to the preparation of the financial statements. The Company will adopt accounting policies and procedures based upon the nature of future transactions.
Nature of Business
The Company was incorporated in Nevada on May 12, 2011, and is in the development stage. The Company is based in Las Vegas, Nevada, and designs, develops, licenses, manufactures, and distributes its products. The Company plans to market the Zaaz™ Keyboard , to be used with Samsung’s Smart TV® as well as other smart devices, the Extreme Gamer™ , and other new peripheral products for the video gaming industry, including the Psyko Krypton™ surround sound gaming headphones.
Development Stage Company
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles related to development-stage companies. A development-stage company is one in which planned principal operations have not commenced or if its operations have commenced, there has been no significant revenues there from.
Basis of Presentation
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and are presented in US dollars.
Accounting Basis
The Company uses the accrual basis of accounting and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP” accounting). The Company has adopted a November 30 fiscal year end for 2012. Prior to that, the Company adopted a calendar year end for 2011.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers cash on hand, cash in banks, certificates of deposit, time deposits, and U.S. government and other short-term securities with maturities of three months or less when purchased as cash and cash equivalents.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable, notes payable, and accrued expenses. The carrying amount of these financial instruments approximates fair value due either to length of maturity or interest rates that approximate prevailing market rates unless otherwise disclosed in these financial statements.

Notes to Financial Statements
NOVEMBER 30, 2012 AND DECEMBER 31, 2011
Note A: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are stated at the lower of cost or fair value. Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, as follows:
|Description | |Estimated Life |
|Furniture & Equipment | |5 years |
|Vehicles | |5 years |
The estimated useful lives are based on the nature of the assets as well as current operating strategy and legal considerations such as contractual life. Future events, such as property expansions, property developments, new competition, or new regulations, could result in a change in the manner in which the Company uses certain assets requiring a change in the estimated useful lives of such assets.
Maintenance and repairs that neither materially add to the value of the asset nor appreciably prolong its life are charged to expense as incurred. Gains or losses on disposition of property and equipment are included in the statements of operations. There were no dispositions during the periods presented.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company evaluates its property and equipment and other long-lived assets for impairment in accordance with related accounting standards. The Company has impaired no fixed assets during the periods presented. For assets to be held and used (including projects under development), fixed assets are reviewed for impairment whenever indicators of impairment exist. If an indicator of impairment exists, the Company first groups its assets with other assets and liabilities at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities (the “asset group”). Secondly, the Company estimates the undiscounted future cash flows that are directly associated with and expected to arise from the completion, use and eventual disposition of such asset group. The Company estimates the undiscounted cash flows over the remaining useful life of the primary asset within the asset group. If the undiscounted cash flows exceed the carrying value, no impairment is indicated. If the undiscounted cash flows do not exceed the carrying value, then an impairment is measured based on fair value compared to carrying value, with fair value typically based on a discounted cash flow model. If an asset is still under development, future cash flows include remaining construction costs.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are computed using the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws. A valuation allowance is provided for the amount of deferred tax assets that, based on available evidence, are not expected to be realized.
Management Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Notes to Financial Statements
NOVEMBER 30, 2012 AND DECEMBER 31, 2011
Note A: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when products are fully delivered or services have been provided and collection is reasonably assured. From inception, the Company recognized no revenue.
Basic Income (Loss) Per Share
Basic income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net loss applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the Company’s net income available to common shareholders by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. The diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding is the basic weighted number of shares adjusted for any potentially dilutive debt or equity.
Stock-Based Compensation
Pursuant to ASC Topic 718, the Company recorded the fair value of the stock options on a monthly basis over the vesting period as stock-based compensation expense. The fair value of the options is calculated using the Black-Scholes method as of the date of grant. In fiscal year 2012, the Company adopted an incentive stock option plan for its employees. In fiscal year 2012 the Company granted stock options to three officers of the Company. These are described in Note G- Stock Options and Warrants.
Concentrations of Risk
The Company’s bank accounts are deposited in insured institutions. The funds are insured up to $250,000. At November 30, 2012, the Company’s bank deposits did not exceed the insured amounts. At June 30, 2013, the Company’s bank deposits did exceed the insured amounts.
Accounting for Research and Development Costs
The Company records an expense in the current period for all research and development costs, which include Hardware Development Costs. The Company does not capitalize such amounts. Pursuant to ASC Topic 730 Research and Development, once we determine that our Extreme Gamer video game console is technologically feasible and a working model is put into use, the Company will capitalize Software Development costs associated with its products. Once this occurs we will determine a useful life of our software and apply a reasonable economic life of five years or less. At this time, our software development costs only relate to the Extreme Gamer and Zaaz keyboard hardware. The software development costs cannot be separated from the associated hardware development. We do not develop stand alone software for sale to the retail consumers, rather we develop software in order to operate the designed hardware. The software is designed to be encoded within chips inside the hardware. Thus, it has been determined that the current software development costs, which are intertwined within the hardware development, are to be expensed rather than capitalized pursuant to ASC Topic 730.
This conclusion is also based upon our decision to devote further research and development costs in the support of our product interface to the video game players: Sony PS3® (and other products such as Nintendo Wii® and Microsoft Xbox 360®).

Note A: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Liquidity and Going Concern
Management believes that the Company has sufficient capital reserves to operate without the need for an infusion of additional capital for the next 12 months. However, this would not be sufficient to allow the Company to continue with its current budget for research and development required to complete its designs for the Zaaz™ keyboard and the Extreme Gamer™.
The Company has incurred an accumulated deficit of $790,440 since inception. The Company incurred significant initial research and product development costs, including expenditures associated with hardware engineering and the design and development of its hardware components and prototypes associated with the Zaaz™ keyboard and the Extreme Gamer. The Company also incurred costs associated with its acquisition of property, plant and equipment for its 10,000 square foot office and warehouse.
These factors create substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company generating cash from the sale of its common stock or obtaining debt financing and attaining future profitable operations. Management’s plan includes selling its equity securities and obtaining debt financing to fund its capital requirement and ongoing operations; however, there can be no assurance the Company will be successful in these efforts.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company does not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flow.

Note C: HARDWARE DEVELOPMENT COSTS
The Company incurred a total of $193,405 and $0 for research and development costs during fiscal year November 30, 2012 and from inception (May 12, 2011) to December 31, 2011, respectively. These costs relate to hardware engineering, design and development of the Zaaz Keyboard and the Extreme Gamer.
Note D: PREPAID EXPENSES
On November 29, 2012, we recorded a pre-paid expense of $7,006. This relates to our office rent expense for the month of December 2012, which was due December 1, 2012. Additional information regarding the Company’s office lease is described in Note K – Commitments and Contingencies. In addition, we recorded a prepaid expense of $7,500, which relates to research and development costs.
Note E: PATENT AND TRADEMARKS
The Company entered into a license agreement with Digital Extreme Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation, (also referred to as DXT) for use of certain intellectual property associated with the products being designed and developed by the Company. The specific terms of the license agreement are addressed under the following note for related party transactions. The Black Widow keyboard is now known as the Zaaz keyboard. DXT worked to design and develop the Extreme Gamer as well as the Black Widow keyboard. The Company continues to work, under a license agreement, with DXT to advance the use of technologies designed by DXT.
DXT applied to the U.S. PTO for a patent of its Multi Video Game Changer. The agency assigned an application number of 12/543,296 to its application, which was published on February 25, 2010. The proposed 10 disk Video Game Changer is designed to interface directly with Sony PS3®, Nintendo Wii®, and Mircosoft Xbox 360®. The Company anticipates incorporating Blu-Ray® compatible optics technology under a license agreement. This would allow users to insert Blu-Ray® discs into the Video Game Changer, and once connected to the video game console, to play movies on television. Sony PS3® is now capable of playing Blu-Ray® discs, but only with a capacity for a single disk. This technology would provide for the loading of up to 10 DVD’s, CD’s or Blu-Ray® discs into a single console that communicates with a video game console via USB. Furthermore, users would be able to plug in any external hard disc drive (“HDD”) directly into the console via an internal ATPI port, allowing movies, music and pictures to be played directly from the HDD.
Note F: COMMON STOCK
The Company has 100,000,000 shares at $0.0001 par value common stock authorized and 22,495,360 and 20,340,000 shares issued and outstanding for fiscal years ended November 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

Note G: STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS
Stock-Based Compensation to Employees
Pursuant to the employee incentive stock option plan, on July 15, 2012, the Company granted 2,000,000 shares to each of its two officers and directors. The option agreement provides the employee has no more than five years from the date of the grant to exercise the options at an exercise price of $0.25 per share.

Note G: STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS (CONTINUED)
The fair value of the options is calculated using the Black-Scholes method as of the date of grant. The factors used to calculate fair value of the stock options include the following: 1) Risk free interest rate, 2) Volatility of returns of the underlying asset, 3) current stock price, 4) Term of the Option, and 5) The exercise price. The risk free interest rate used in this calculation equals 0.63% and 0.80% for the stock options granted on July 15, 2012 and August 15, 2012, respectively. The term of the option is 5 years from the date of the grant. The exercise price is $0.25 per share. The current stock price at the dates of grant, which is July 15, 2012 and August 15, 2012, is $0.25 based on the sale of common shares to investors for the eleven months prior to the date of grant. Several industry comparables to this Company were used in order to determine an approximation of the volatility. The approximate volatility based on these comparables is approximately 458%.

Leasehold Interest in Real Estate
On September 27, 2011, the Company entered into a sub-lease agreement with DXT. The term of the lease was through October 1, 2012 and required the Company to pay $7,006 per month for use of the office space and 10,000 square foot warehouse leased by DXT from the real property management company. The monthly amount due is the same amount that is due to be paid by DXT to the real property management company. The Company made various payments to DXT under the terms of the sublease agreement while the Company occupied the rental space. As discussed in Note K, on October 25, 2012, the Company entered into an agreement with the real property management company whereby it agreed to become a co-tenant and to become directly obligated for future rent payments associated with the DXT lease.

On September 21, 2012, the Company used a vehicle belonging to an officer for the purpose of a trade-in to acquire a pre-owned company vehicle from a dealer. This amount, limited to its cost basis, is recorded as a short-term obligation due to the officer as a current liability of $3,810.

Note I: INCOME TAXES
Deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. The Company's marginal tax rate is at 34% and its effective tax rate differs from the federal statutory rate due to a 100% valuation allowance effectively provided for any tax benefits that may result from net operating losses incurred, because of uncertainty discussed in Note A “Liquidity and Going Concern.”
Note J: INCOME TAXES - DEFERRED TAX ASSET
As of the most recent balance sheet date presented, the Company’s available unused operating loss carry- forwards are estimated to approximate $639,495.
Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.
The Company provides for income taxes under FASB ASC 740, Accounting for Income Taxes. FASB ASC 740 requires the use of an asset and liability approach in accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities and the tax rates in effect currently.
FASB ASC 740 requires the reduction of deferred tax assets by a valuation allowance, if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In the Company’s opinion, it is uncertain whether they will generate sufficient taxable income in the future to fully utilize the net deferred tax asset. Accordingly, a valuation allowance equal to the deferred tax asset would be recorded. The total deferred tax asset is $219,429 which is calculated by multiplying a 34% estimated tax rate by the cumulative net operating loss (NOL).

Our Bylaws provide that we will indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent not prohibited by Nevada law; provided, however, that we may modify the extent of such indemnification by individual contracts with our directors and officers; and, provided, further, that we shall not be required to indemnify any director or officer in connection with any proceeding, or part thereof, initiated by such person unless such indemnification: (a) is expressly required to be made by law, (b) the proceeding was authorized by our Board of Directors, (c) is provided by us, in our sole discretion, pursuant to the powers vested in us under Nevada law or (d) is required to be made pursuant to the Bylaws.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and control persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions or otherwise, we have been advised that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy, and is, therefore, unenforceable.
ITEM 15. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
During the period from December 1, 2012 to July 2, 2013, the Company raised $778,521 from 34 pre- existing investors. Each person executed a stock subscription agreement and delivered funds in exchange for our equity at a price of $1.00 for each common share and two stock warrants. For each common share Purchased by the investor, for no additional consideration, each investor acquired a warrant to purchase an additional two shares at the fixed price of $1.00 per share. The term of the warrant is two years from the date of the grant. The total number of common shares issued by the Company subsequent to December 1, 2012 through July 2, 2013 is 778,521. The total number of stock warrants granted by the Company subsequent to December 1, 2012 through July 2, 2013 is 1,557,042.
Pursuant to the employee incentive stock option plan, on July 15, 2012, the Company granted 2,000,000 shares to each of its two officers and directors. The option agreement provides the employee has no more than five years from the date of the grant to exercise the options at an exercise price of $0.25 per share. The employee may only exercise such options based upon the contracted vesting schedule, which provides that the options vest on a pro-rata basis over 60 months of future services to be rendered by such employee. In addition, on August 15, 2012, the Company granted 100,000 incentive stock options to another officer of the Company. This employee received the right to exercise the options on the date of grant at an exercise price of $0.25 per share. As the officer was fully vested in his right to such exercise at the time of the grant, the Company recorded the entire fair value of his stock options at the date of grant.

We claimed exemption from registration under the Securities Act for the sale and issuance of securities in the transactions described in paragraph (1) above by virtue of Section 4(a)(2) and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder as transactions not involving any public offering. All of the purchasers of unregistered securities for which we relied on Section 4(a)(2) and/or Regulation D represented that they were accredited investors as defined under the Securities Act. We claimed such exemption on the basis that (a) the purchasers in each case represented that they intended to acquire the securities for investment only and not with a view to the distribution thereof and that they either received adequate information about the registrant or had access, through employment or other relationships, to such information and (b) appropriate legends were affixed to the stock certificates issued in such transactions.
We claimed exemption from registration under the Securities Act for the sales and issuances of securities in the transactions described in paragraph (2) above under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act in that such sales and issuances did not involve a public offering or under Rule 701 promulgated under the Securities Act, in that they were offered and sold either pursuant to written compensatory plans or pursuant to a written contract relating to compensation, as provided by Rule 701.

Section 5. Annual Meeting.

(b) At an annual meeting of the stockholders, only such business shall be conducted as shall have been properly brought before the meeting. To be properly brought before an annual meeting, business must be: (A) specified in the notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto) given by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, (B) otherwise properly brought before the meeting by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, or (C) otherwise properly brought before the meeting by a stockholder. For business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder, the stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary of the corporation. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice must be delivered to or mailed and received at the principal executive offices of the corporation not later than the close of business on the sixtieth (60th) day nor earlier than the close of business on the ninetieth (90th) day prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting; provided, however, that in the event that no annual meeting was held in the previous year or the date of the annual meeting has been changed by more than thirty (30) days from the date contemplated at the time of the previous year’s proxy statement, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so received not earlier than the close of business on the ninetieth (90th) day prior to such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the sixtieth (60th) day prior to such annual meeting or, in the event public announcement of the date of such annual meeting is first made by the corporation fewer than seventy (70) days prior to the date of such annual meeting, the close of business on the tenth (10th) day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made by the corporation.

Notwithstanding anything in these Bylaws to the contrary, no business shall be conducted at any annual meeting except in accordance with the procedures set forth in this paragraph (b). The chairman of the annual meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare at the meeting that business was not properly brought before the meeting and in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph (b), and, if he should so determine, he shall so declare at the meeting that any such business not properly brought before the meeting shall not be transacted.

Such nominations, other than those made by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, shall be made pursuant to timely notice in writing to the Secretary of the corporation in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (b) of this Section 5.

At the request of the Board of Directors, any person nominated by a stockholder for election as a director shall furnish to the Secretary of the corporation that information required to be set forth in the stockholder’s notice of nomination which pertains to the nominee. No person shall be eligible for election as a director of the corporation unless nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in this paragraph (c). The chairman of the meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare at the meeting that a nomination was not made in accordance with the procedures prescribed by these Bylaws, and if he should so determine, he shall so declare at the meeting, and the defective nomination shall be disregarded.

(b) If a special meeting is called by any person or persons other than the Board of Directors, the request shall be in writing, specifying the general nature of the business proposed to be transacted, and shall be delivered personally or sent by registered mail or by tele-graphic or other facsimile transmission to the Chairman of the Board of Directors, the Chief Executive Officer, or the Secretary of the corporation. No business may be transacted at such special meeting otherwise than specified in such notice. The Board of Directors shall determine the time and place of such special meeting, which shall be held not less than thirty-five (35) nor more than one hundred twenty (120) days after the date of the receipt of the request. Upon determination of the time and place of the meeting, the officer receiving the request shall cause notice to be given to the stockholders entitled to vote, in accordance with the provisions of Section 7 of these Bylaws. If the notice is not given within sixty (60) days after the receipt of the request, the person or persons requesting the meeting may set the time and place of the meeting and give the notice. Nothing contained in this paragraph (b) shall be construed as limiting, fixing, or affecting the time when a meeting of stockholders called by action of the Board of Directors may be held.
|3 |
| |
Section 7. Notice of Meetings. Except as otherwise provided by law or the Articles of Incorporation, written notice of each meeting of stockholders shall be given not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting, such notice to specify the place, date and hour and purpose or purposes of the meeting. Notice of the time, place and purpose of any meeting of stockholders may be waived in writing, signed by the person entitled to notice thereof, either before or after such meeting, and will be waived by any stockholder by his attendance thereat in person or by proxy, except when the stockholder attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Any stockholder so waiving notice of such meeting shall be bound by the proceedings of any such meeting in all respects as if due notice thereof had been given.
Section 8. Quorum. At all meetings of stockholders, except where otherwise provided by statute or by the Articles of Incorporation, or by these Bylaws, the presence, in person or by proxy duly authorized, of the holder or holders of not less than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. In the absence of a quorum, any meeting of stockholders may be adjourned, from time to time, either by the chairman of the meeting or by vote of the holders of a majority of the shares represented thereat, but no other business shall be transacted at such meeting. The stockholders present at a duly called or convened meeting, at which a quorum is present, may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough stockholders to leave less than a quorum. Except as otherwise provided by law, the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws, all action taken by the holders of a majority of the votes cast, excluding abstentions, at any meeting at which a quorum is present shall be valid and binding upon the corporation; provided, however, that directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors. Where a separate vote by a class or classes or series is required, except where otherwise provided by the statute or by the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws, a majority of the outstanding shares of such class or classes or series, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum entitled to take action with respect to that vote on that matter and, except where otherwise provided by the statute or by the Articles of Incorporation or these Bylaws, the affirmative vote of the majority (plurality, in the case of the election of directors) of the votes cast, including abstentions, by the holders of shares of such class or classes or series shall be the act of such class or classes or series.
Section 9. Adjournment and Notice of Adjourned Meetings. Any meeting of stockholders, whether annual or special, may be adjourned from time to time either by the chairman of the meeting or by the vote of a majority of the shares casting votes, excluding abstentions. When a meeting is adjourned to another time or place, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the time and place thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken. At the adjourned meeting, the corporation may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting.
|4 |
| |
Section 10. Voting Rights. For the purpose of determining those stockholders entitled to vote at any meeting of the stockholders, except as otherwise provided by law, only persons in whose names shares stand on the stock records of the corporation on the record date, as provided in Section 12 of these Bylaws, shall be entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders. Every person entitled to vote shall have the right to do so either in person or by an agent or agents authorized by a proxy granted in accordance with Nevada law. An agent so appointed need not be a stockholder. No proxy shall be voted after three (3) years from its date of creation unless the proxy provides for a longer period.
Sect ion 11. Joint Owners of Stock. If shares or other securities having voting power stand of record in the names of two (2) or more persons, whether fiduciaries, members of a partnership, joint tenants, tenants in common, tenants by the entirety, or otherwise, or if two (2) or more persons have the same fiduciary relationship respecting the name shares, unless the Secretary is given written notice to the contrary and is furnished with a copy of the instrument or order appointing them or creating the relationship wherein it is so provided, their acts with respect to voting shall have the following effect: (a) if only one (1) votes, his act binds all; (b) if more than one (1) votes, the act of the majority so voting binds all; (c) if more than one (1) votes, but the vote is evenly split on any particular matter, each faction may vote the securities in question proportionally, or may apply to the Nevada Court of Chancery for relief as provided in the General Corporation Law of Nevada, Section 217(b). If the instrument filed with the Secretary shows that any such tenancy is held in unequal interests, a majority or even-split for the purpose of subsection (c) shall be a majority or even-split in interest.
Section 12. List of Stockholders. The Secretary shall prepare and make, at least ten (10) days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at said meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, during ordinary business hours, for a period of at least ten (10) days prior to the meeting, either at a place within the city where the meeting is to be held, which place shall be specified in the notice of the meeting, or, if not specified, at the place where the meeting is to be held. The list shall be produced and kept at the time and place of meeting during the whole time thereof and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present.
Section 13. Action Without Meeting. No action shall be taken by the stockholders except at an annual or special meeting of stockholders called in accordance with these Bylaws, or by the written consent of the stockholders setting forth the action so taken and signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote upon were present and voted.

Section 14. Organization.
(a) At every meeting of stockholders, the Chairman of the Board of Directors, or, if a Chairman has not been appointed or is absent, the President, or, if the President is absent, a chairman of the meeting chosen by a majority in interest of the stockholders entitled to vote, present in person or by proxy, shall act as chairman. The Secretary, or, in his absence, an Assistant Secretary directed to do so by the President, shall act as secretary of the meeting.
(b) The Board of Directors of the corporation shall be entitled to make such rules or regulations for the conduct of meetings of stockholders as it shall deem necessary, appropriate or convenient. Subject to such rules and regulations of the Board of Directors, if any, the chairman of the meeting shall have the right and authority to prescribe such rules, regulations and procedures and to do all such acts as, in the judgment of such chairman, are necessary, appropriate or convenient for the proper conduct of the meeting, including, without limitation, establishing an agenda or order of business for the meeting, rules and procedures for maintaining order at the meeting and the safety of those present, limitations on participation in such meeting to stockholders of record of the corporation and their duly authorized and constituted proxies and such other persons as the chairman shall permit, restrictions on entry to the meeting after the time fixed for the commencement thereof, limitations on the time allotted to questions or comments by participants and regulation of the opening and closing of the polls for balloting on matters which are to be voted on by ballot. Unless and to the extent determined by the Board of Directors or the chairman of the meeting, meetings of stockholders shall not be required to be held in accordance with rules of parliamentary procedure.

Any director elected in accordance with the preceding sentence shall hold office for the remainder of the full term of the director for which the vacancy was created or occurred and until such director’s successor shall have been elected and qualified. A vacancy in the Board of Directors shall be deemed to exist under this Bylaw in the case of the death, removal or resignation of any director.
Section 19. Resignation. Any director may resign at any time by delivering his written resignation to the Secretary, such resignation to specify whether it will be effective at a particular time, upon receipt by the Secretary or at the pleasure of the Board of Directors. If no such specification is made, it shall be deemed effective at the pleasure of the Board of Directors. When one or more directors shall resign from the Board of Directors, effective at a future date, a majority of the directors then in office, including those who have so resigned, shall have power to fill such vacancy or vacancies, the vote thereon to take effect when such resignation or resignations shall become effective, and each director so chosen shall hold office for the unexpired portion of the term of the director whose place shall be vacated and until his successor shall have been duly elected and qualified.

All such waivers shall be filed with the corporate records or made a part of the minutes of the meeting.
Section 22. Quorum and Voting.
(a) Unless the Articles of Incorporation requires a greater number and except with respect to indemnification questions arising under Section 43 hereof, for which a quorum shall be one-third of the exact number of directors fixed from time to time in accordance with the Articles of Incorporation, a quorum of the Board of Directors shall consist of a majority of the exact number of directors fixed from time to time by the Board of Directors in accordance with the Articles of Incorporation provided, however, at any meeting whether a quorum be present or otherwise, a majority of the directors present may adjourn from time to time until the time fixed for the next regular meeting of the Board of Directors, without notice other than by announcement at the meeting.

(b) Employees and Other Agents. The corporation shall have power to indemnify its employees and other agents as set forth in the Nevada General Corporation Law.
|16 |
| |
Directors and Officers will be immune from monetary liabilities for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer to the fullest extent not prohibited by Nevada General Corporation Law. Excepted from that immunity are:
| |• |the payment of unlawful dividend distributions; |
| |• |any breach of loyalty including, but not limited to a willful failure to deal fairly with the corporation or its shareholders in connection with a matter in |
| | |which the director has a material conflict of interest; |
| |• |any acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct, fraud or knowing violation of law unless the director had reasonable cause to |
| | |believe that his or her conduct was lawful or no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful; |
| |• |a transaction from which the director derived an improper personal profit; and |
| |• |willful misconduct. |
(c) Expense. The corporation shall advance to any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer, of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director or executive officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, prior to the final disposition of the proceeding, promptly following request therefor, all expenses incurred by any director or officer in connection with such proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such person to repay said mounts if it should be determined ultimately that such person is not entitled to be indemnified under this Bylaw or otherwise.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless otherwise determined pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Bylaw, no advance shall be made by the corporation to an officer of the corporation (except by reason of the fact that such officer is or was a director of the corporation in which event this paragraph shall not apply) in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, if a determination is reasonably and promptly made (i) by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the proceeding, or (ii) if such quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable, a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, that the facts known to the decision-making party at the time such determination is made demonstrate clearly and convincingly that such person acted in bad faith or in a manner that such person did not believe to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation.
|17 |
| |
(d) Enforcement. Without the necessity of entering into an express contract, all rights to indemnification and advances to directors and officers under this Bylaw shall be deemed to be contractual rights and be effective to the same extent and as if provided for in a contract between the corporation and the director or officer. Any right to indemnification or advances granted by this Bylaw to a director or officer shall be enforceable by or on behalf of the person holding such right in any court of competent jurisdiction if (i) the claim for indemnification or advances is denied, in whole or in part, or (ii) no disposition of such claim is made within ninety (90) days of request therefor. The claimant in such enforcement action, if successful in whole or in part, shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting his claim. In connection with any claim for indemnification, the corporation shall be entitled to raise as a defense to any such action that the claimant has not met the standard of conduct that make it permissible under the Nevada General Corporation Law for the corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed. In connection with any claim by an officer of the corporation (except in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that such officer is or was a director of the corporation) for advances, the corporation shall be entitled to raise a defense as to any such action clear and convincing evidence that such person acted in bad faith or in a manner that such person did not believe to be in or not opposed in the best interests of the corporation, or with respect to any criminal action or proceeding that such person acted without reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was lawful. Neither the failure of the corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the Nevada General Corporation Law, nor an actual determination by the corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel or its stockholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct. In any suit brought by a director or officer to enforce a right to indemnification or to an advancement of expenses hereunder, the burden of proving that the director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified, or to such advancement of expenses, under this Article XI or otherwise shall be on the corporation.
(e) Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The rights conferred on any person by this Bylaw shall not be exclusive of any other right which such person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding office. The corporation is specifically authorized to enter into individual contracts with any or all of its directors, officers, employees or agents respecting indemnification and advances, to the fullest extent not prohibited by the Nevada General Corporation Law.
(f) Survival of Rights. The rights conferred on any person by this Bylaw shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or other agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.
(g) Insurance. To the fullest extent permitted by the Nevada General Corporation Law, the corporation, upon approval by the Board of Directors, may purchase insurance on behalf of any person required or permitted to be indemnified pursuant to this Bylaw.
(h) Amendments. Any repeal or modification of this Bylaw shall only be prospective and shall not affect the rights under this Bylaw in effect at the time of the alleged occurrence of any action or omission to act that is the cause of any proceeding against any agent of the corporation.
|18 |
| |
(i) Saving Clause. If this Bylaw or any portion hereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the corporation shall nevertheless indemnify each director and officer to the full extent not prohibited by any applicable portion of this Bylaw that shall not have been invalidated, or by any other applicable law.

If upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, the assets to be distributed among the holders of shares of Series A Stock and Parity Securities shall be insufficient to permit payment in full to the holders of shares of Series A Stock and any Parity Securities of the distributions to which they are entitled, then the holders of all such securities shall share ratably in such distribution of assets in accordance with the amount which would be payable on such distribution if the amounts to which the holders of outstanding shares of Series A Stock and Parity Securities are entitled were paid in full. A consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into any other corporation or corporations or other entity (other than a merger in which the Corporation is the survivor and the stockholders of the Corporation prior to such merger own more than a majority of the voting securities of the Corporation following such merger), a transaction or a series of related transactions in which the stockholders of the Corporation transfer a majority of the voting securities of the Corporation to any person or a sale, lease or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation shall be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Corporation as those terms are used in this Section 4; provided, however, that no such consolidation, merger, transaction or series of related transactions that is approved by a vote pursuant to Section 11 hereof shall be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation. The Corporation shall provide to holders of shares of Series A Stock thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of any such sale, conveyance, exchange, transfer, consolidation or merger.
(b) Remaining Assets. Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, after the holders of shares of Series A Stock shall have been paid in full the Liquidation Payments, the remaining assets of the Corporation may be distributed ratably per share in order of preference to the holders of Junior Securities in accordance with their respective terms.
(c) Notice of Liquidation. Written notice of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, stating a payment date, the amount of the Liquidation Payments and the place where said Liquidation Payments shall be payable, shall be given by mail, postage prepaid, not less than thirty (30) days prior to the payment date stated therein, to each holder of record of shares of Series A Stock at his post office addresses as shown by the records of the Corporation.
(d) Fractional Shares. The Liquidation Payments with respect to each outstanding fractional share of Series A Stock shall be equal to a ratably proportionate amount of the Liquidation Payments with respect to each outstanding share of Series A Stock.
5 . Conversion.
The holders of shares of Series A Stock shall have the following conversion rights:
(a) Conversion. Subject to the limitations set forth below, each share of the Series A Stock shall be convertible at any time after the First Conversion Date in whole but not in part, unless previously redeemed, at the option of the holder of record thereof, into the number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the aggregate liquidation preference of the share of Series A Stock being converted by (ii) the Conversion Price upon surrender to the Corporation or its transfer agent of the certificate or certificates representing the Series A Stock to be converted, as provided below, or if the holder notifies the Corporation or its transfer agent that such certificate or certificates have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the execution and delivery of an agreement satisfactory to the Corporation to indemnify’ the Corporation from any losses incurred by it in connection therewith. The conversion rights herein provided shall be apportioned ratably among the holders of the Series A Stock in proportion to the number of shares of Series A Stock owned by such holders.
(b) Converted Shares. Any shares of Series A Stock which have been converted shall be cancelled and all dividends on converted shares of Series A Stock shall cease to accrue and the certificates representing shares of Series A Stock so converted shall represent the right to receive such number of shares of Common Stock into which such shares of Series A Stock are convertible. The Board shall at all times, so long as any shares of Series A Stock remain outstanding, reserve a sufficient number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to be issued in satisfaction of the conversion rights and privileges aforesaid.
(c) Mechanics of Conversion. In the case of a conversion, before any holder of Series A Stock shall be entitled to convert the same into shares of Common Stock, it shall surrender the certificate or certificates therefore, duly endorsed, at the office of the Corporation or its transfer agent for the Series A Stock, and shall give written notice to the Corporation of the election to convert the same and shall state therein the name or names in which the certificate of certificates for shares of Common Stock are to be issued. The Corporation shall, as soon as practicable thereafter and in any case within ten (10) business days of the Corporation’s receipt of the notice of conversion, issue and deliver at such office to such holder of Series A Stock, or to the nominee or nominees of such holder, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such holder shall be entitled as aforesaid; provided that such holder or nominee(s), as the case may be, shall be deemed to be the owner of record of such Common Stock as of the date that written notice is given to the Corporation of such holder’s properly completed and executed election to convert and the surrender of the certificates representing the Series A Stock being converted, duly endorsed, at the office of the Corporation or its transfer agent (or an indemnification agreement as set forth in Section 5(c) hereof in case such certificates have been lost, stolen or destroyed). A certificate or certificates will be issued for the remaining shares of Series A Stock in any case in which fewer than all of the shares of Series A Stock represented by a certificate are converted.
| |
| |
(d) Issue Taxes. The Corporation shall pay all issue taxes, if any, incurred in respect of the issue of shares of Common Stock on conversion. If a holder of shares surrendered for conversion specifies that the shares of Common Stock to be issued on conversion are to be issued in a name or names other than the name or names in which such surrendered shares stand, then the Corporation shall not be required to pay any transfer or other taxes incurred by reason of the issuance of such shares of Common Stock to the name of another, and if the appropriate transfer taxes shall not have been paid to the Corporation or the transfer agent for the Series A Stock at the time of surrender of the shares involved, the shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion thereof may be registered in the name or names in which the surrendered shares were registered, despite the instructions to the contrary.
(e) Valid Issuance. All shares of Common Stock which may be issued in connection with the conversion provisions set forth herein will, upon issuance by the Corporation, be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, free from preemptive rights and free from all taxes, liens or charges with respect thereto created or imposed by the Corporation.
6. Adjustment of Conversion Price. The number and kind of securities issuable upon the conversion of the Series A Stock and the Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in accordance with the following provisions:
(a) Reorganization, Reclassification. In the event of a reorganization, share exchange, sale, conveyance, or reclassification, in a transaction or series of related transactions, including where there is a shift in more than fifty percent of the voting power of the Corporation (“Change of Control”) other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value or a transaction described in Section 6(b) below, each share of Series A Stock shall, after such reorganization, share exchange or reclassification, be convertible at the option of the holder into the kind and number of shares of stock and/or other securities, cash or other property which the holder of such share of Series A Stock would have been entitled to receive if the holder had held the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such share of Series A Stock immediately prior to such reorganization, share exchange or reclassification.
(b) Consolidation, Merger. In the event of a merger or consolidation to which the Corporation is a party which results in a Change of Control, each share of Series A Stock shall, after such merger or consolidation, be convertible at the option of the holder into the kind and number of shares of stock and/or other securities, cash or other property which the holder of such share of Series A Stock would have been entitled to receive if the holder had held the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such share of Series A Stock immediately prior to such consolidation or merger plus all accrued and unpaid dividends on such shares of Series A Stock through the conversion.
7. V oting Rights. The Series A Stock shall not have voting rights other than as herein described. The holders of shares of Series A Stock shall vote as a separate class on all matters adversely affecting the Series A Stock. The authorization or issuance of additional Common Stock, Series A Stock or other securities having liquidation, dividend, voting or other rights junior to or on a parity with, the Series A shall not be deemed to adversely affect the Series A Stock. In addition to the other voting rights of the holders of the Series A Stock specified herein, for so long as any shares of Series A Stock are outstanding, the Corporation will not, and it will cause its subsidiaries not to, without the affirmative vote, or the written consent pursuant to the Delaware Business Corporation Act, of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series A Stock:
(a) amend, waive or repeal any provisions of, or add any provision to, (i) this Certificate or (ii) any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or By-Laws of the Corporation or any other certificate of designation filed with the Secretary of State of Colorado by the Corporation in a manner that would adversely effect or impair the rights of the holders of the Series A Stock;
(b) merge or consolidate with any other corporation, other than a merger in which the Corporation is the survivor and the stockholders of the Corporation immediately prior thereto continue to represent at least fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power of the voting securities of the Corporation outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation; or
(c) sell or dispose of all or substantially all of the Corporation’s assets.
8. Redemption or Retirement of Preferred Stock
The Corporation shall have the right to redeem its Class A preferred stock, or any number of shares thereof, issued and outstanding, at any time by paying to the holders thereof the sum of $1.00 per share. The Corporation shall have the right at any time to purchase all or any part of its Class A preferred stock issued and outstanding by paying to the respective holders thereof the sum of $1.00 for each share of such stock redeemed together with the amount of such accrued dividends as may have accumulated thereon at the time of redemption.
The Corporation may apply toward the purchase or redemption of preferred stock as herein provided any part of its surplus funds or an amount of its stated capital which shall not be greater than the stated capital represented by the shares purchased or redeemed, but under no circumstances shall the Corporation apply any other funds or any further part of its stated capital toward the purchase or redemption of such stock. The purchase or redemption of any such stock shall not be made where the effect of any such purchase or redemption and application of stated capital thereto shall be to reduce the net assets of the Corporation below the stated capital remaining after giving effect to the cancellation of such shares, or if the Corporation is insolvent or would thereby be made insolvent.
| |
| |
The Board of Directors of the Corporation shall have full power and discretion to select from the outstanding Class A preferred stock of the Corporation particular shares for redemption or purchase, and its proceedings in this connection shall not be subject to attack except for actual and intentional fraud. In all instances, the Board shall have complete authority to determine upon and take the necessary proceedings fully to effect the purchase or redemption of the shares selected for redemption, and the cancellation of the certificates representing such shares. Upon the completion of such proceedings, the rights of holders of the shares of such preferred stock which have been redeemed and called in shall in all respects cease, except that such holders shall be entitled to receive the redemption price for their respective shares.
Whenever any shares such preferred stock of the Corporation are purchased or redeemed as herein authorized, the Corporation may, by resolution of its Board of Directors, retire such shares, and thereupon this Corporation shall, in connection with the retirement of such shares, cause to be filed a certificate of reduction of stated capital.
9. Future Preferred Stock Issues. The Corporation may issue one or more additional Series of Preferred Stock without the consent of the holders of Series A Stock, provided, however, that the rights and preferences of such subsequent series of preferred stock as to liquidation, dividends, voting, redemption, and registration rights shall not be superior (but may be pari passu) to those of the Series A Stock.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has executed this Certificate of Designations as of this 15 day of November, 2002, and affirms that this Certificate of Designations is his act and deed and that the statements contained herein are true under penalties of perjury.
