Share Price & Shareholder Rights3 | 27.3%
Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1
The current ownership has the effect of concentrating voting control with our Chief Executive Officer and his family; this limits our other stockholders' and your ability to influence corporate matters.
Nicholas Campanella currently holds 12,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock is entitled to 125 votes per share. As a result, Nicholas Campanella has 1,500,000,000 voting rights. As a result of this concentration of voting power, Nicholas Campanella will have significant influence over the management and affairs of the Company and control over matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors and significant corporate transactions, such as mergers or other sales of the Company or our assets, for the foreseeable future. This concentration of voting control will limit your ability to influence corporate matters and could adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock once a market is established.
Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 2
Our director and officer, Nicholas Campanella will control and make corporate decisions that may differ from those that might be made by the other shareholders.
Due to the controlling amount of their share ownership in our Company, Nicholas Campanella will have a significant influence in determining the outcome of all corporate transactions, including the power to prevent or cause a change in control. His interests may differ from the interests of other stockholders and thus result in corporate decisions that are disadvantageous to other shareholders.
Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 3
Our director and officer, Nicholas Campanella, holds substantial debt that is convertible into common stock, resulting in even greater control over the Company.
Nicholas Campanella holds convertible promissory notes in excess of $800,000, making Nicholas Campanella the largest creditor of the Company. The convertible promissory notes are convertible into common stock at rate of a 50% discount to market. If Nicholas Campanella were to foreclose upon the limited assets of the Company, we would likely have to file for bankruptcy. Alternatively, Nicholas Campanella could convert the promissory note into common stock increasing his control over the Company. Results of Operations

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021.
Revenues: Revenues increased by $36,136 from $215,978 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 to $252,114 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as a result of an increase in revenues recognized from an expansion of national advertisers that increased marketing and networking efforts in the first half of the year. With the loss of a contract with the State of Rhode Island, revenues from advertising associated with bus shelters will be lower on a going forward basis until such time as new opportunities are either put into place or an expansion of other revenues are generated. Cost of revenues: Cost of revenues decreased by $6,489 from $18,809 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 to $12,320 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Operating Expenses: Operating expenses increased by $82,587 from $266,456 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 to $349,043 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 due to increases in wages and compensation, general and administrative and professional and other filing fees. Other Income (Expenses), Net: Other expense, net increased by $8,179 from other expense, net of $18,392 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 to other income, net of $26,571 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Net (Loss) Income From Continuing Operations: As a result of the above, the net income from continuing operations decreased by $1,005,054 from net income from continuing operations of $869,234 for the nine months ended September 30 2021 to net loss from continuing operations of $135,820 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as a result income tax benefit – continuing operations. Continuing Operations, Liquidity and Capital Resources As of September 30, 2022, we had a working capital deficit of approximately $2,941,894. We intend to seek additional financing for our working capital, in the form of equity or debt, to provide us with the necessary capital to accomplish our plan of operation. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in our efforts to raise additional capital. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we generated $118,791 of cash in operating activities driven by the company's operating loss, offset by noncash charge for accrued compensation, bad debt, and deprecation. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we used $530,885 cash in operating activities driven materially from the company's operating loss and reclassification of $272,304 of cash to discontinued operations. Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements As of September 30, 2022, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors. The term "off-balance sheet arrangement" generally means any transaction, agreement or other contractual arrangement to which an entity unconsolidated with us is a party, under which we have any obligation arising under a guarantee contract, derivative instrument or variable interest or a retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to such entity or similar arrangement that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support for such assets. Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk Not required for smaller reporting companies. Item 4. Controls and Procedures Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures Our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has reviewed and evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2022. Based on such review and evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2022, the disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act (a) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms and (b) is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and (c) that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as a result of continuing weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting principally due to the following: - The Company has not established adequate financial reporting monitoring activities to mitigate the risk of management override, specifically because there are few employees and only two officers with management functions and therefore there is lack of segregation of duties.         - An outside consultant assists in the preparation of the annual and quarterly financial statements and partners with the Company to ensure compliance with US GAAP and SEC disclosure requirements.         - Outside counsel assists the Company and external attorneys to review and editing of the annual and quarterly filings and to ensure compliance with SEC disclosure requirements. At such time as the Company raises additional working capital it plans to add staff, initiate training, add additional subject matter expertise in its finance area so that it may improve it processes, policies, procedures, and documentation of its internal control processes. Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting There were no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rule 13a-15 or 15d-15 of the Exchange Act that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting. PART II - OTHER INFORMATION Item 1. Legal Proceedings. On May 28, 2019, William Singer, our former President and a former Director, filed suit against the Company and our wholly owned subsidiary, Street Smart Outdoor Corp., in Superior Court of New Jersey, Monmouth County, Law Division. Mr. Singer alleges breach of contract and has demanded $450,000.00 in lost wages. The Company has reached a settlement with Mr. Singer in the amount of $47,500 to be paid over a period of 3 months, which have been paid. On November 14, 2019 suit was filed against the Company by shareholders James J. Loures, Jr. and Justin Derkack requesting that the Company reverse the underlying transactions related to the MedRecycler-RI, Inc. project such that 100% of the revenues and profits generated from the project remain with the Company. The matter has been settled. On August 3, 2021, MedRecycler-RI, Inc. received a demand letter related to moneys owed for the property leased in West Warwick, Rhode Island. The Company is a guarantor to the lease. The Lease has since been discharged and terminated. From time to time the Company is a party to various legal or administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business. While any litigation contains an element of uncertainty, we have no reason to believe that the outcome of such proceedings will have a material adverse effect on the financial condition or results of operations of the Company. There is no material bankruptcy, receivership, or similar proceeding with respect to the Company or any of its significant subsidiaries. However, given the Company's insolvency, there is a high risk that the Company may be forced to file for bankruptcy if the Company is unable to meet its capital requirements in 2022. There are no administrative or judicial proceedings arising from any federal, state, or local provisions that have been enacted or adopted regulating the discharge of materials into the environment or primary for the purpose of protecting the environment.
Accounting & Financial Operations - Risk 2
We have generated minimal revenues from operations, which makes it difficult for us to evaluate our future business prospects and make decisions based on those estimates of our future performance.
As of September 30, 2022, we had generated insufficient revenues. As a consequence, it is difficult, if not impossible, to forecast our future results based upon our historical data. Our projections are based upon our best estimates on future growth. Because of the related uncertainties, we may be hindered in our ability to anticipate and timely adapt to increases or decreases in sales, revenues, or expenses. If we make poor budgetary decisions as a result of unreliable data, we may never become profitable or incur losses, which may result in a decline in our stock price.
Debt & Financing3 | 27.3%
Debt & Financing - Risk 1
There is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern and if we are unable to generate significant revenue or secure additional financing, we may be unable to implement our business plan and grow our business.
We are just graduating as an emerging growth company and are in the process of selling and developing our products. Consequently, we have not generated enough revenues as of the date of this prospectus. We have an accumulated deficit and have incurred operating losses since our inception and expect losses to continue during the remainder of fiscal 2022. Our independent registered public accounting firm has indicated in their report that these conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for a period of 12 months from the issuance date of this report. The continuation of our business as a going concern is dependent upon the continued financial support from our stockholders. There is uncertainty regarding our ability to grow our business to a greater extent than we can with our existing financial resources, also described above, without additional financing. We have no agreements, commitments, or understandings to secure additional financing at this time. Our long-term future growth and success is dependent upon our ability to continue selling our products and services, generate cash from operating activities and obtain additional financing. There is no assurance that we will be able to continue selling our products and services, generate sufficient cash from operations, sell additional shares of common stock or borrow additional funds. Our inability to obtain additional cash could have a material adverse effect on our ability to grow our business to a greater extent than we can with our existing financial resources, also described above.
Debt & Financing - Risk 2
Expenses required to operate as a public company will reduce funds available to implement our business plan and could negatively affect our stock price and adversely affect our results of operations, cash flow and financial condition.
Operating as a public company is more expensive than operating as a private company, including additional funds required to obtain outside assistance from legal, accounting, investor relations, or other professionals that could be costlier than planned. We may also be required to hire additional staff to comply with additional SEC reporting requirements. We anticipate that the cost of SEC reporting will be approximately $100,000 annually. Our failure to comply with reporting requirements and other provisions of securities laws could negatively affect our stock price and adversely affect our results of operations, cash flow and financial condition. If we fail to meet these requirements, we will be unable to secure a qualification for quotation of our securities on the OTCQB, or if we have secured a qualification, we may lose the qualification and our securities would no longer trade on the OTCQB. Further, if we fail to meet these obligations and consequently fail to satisfy our SEC reporting obligations, investors will then own stock in a company that does not provide the disclosure available in quarterly, annual reports and other required SEC reports that would be otherwise publicly available leading to increased difficulty in selling their stock due to our becoming a non-reporting issuer.
Debt & Financing - Risk 3
Since our inception, we have been insolvent and have required debt and equity financing to maintain operations.
Since our inception, we have failed to create cashflows from revenues sufficient to cover basic costs. As a result, we have relied heavily on debt and equity financing. Equity financing, in particular, has created a dilutive effect on our common stock, which has hampered our ability to attract reasonable financing terms. For the foreseeable future, we will continue to rely upon debt and equity financing to maintain operation of the Company and its subsidiaries.

Employment / Personnel - Risk 1
We rely on our Chief Executive Officer to operate our business. The loss of our Chief Executive Officer could have a material adverse effect on our business.
Our operations are highly dependent upon the efforts of our Chief Executive Officer, Nicholas Campanella. The success of our Company is heavily reliant upon the efforts and resources of Nicholas Campanella. The loss of our Chief Executive Officer would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations, particularly if we are unable to hire or relocate and integrate suitable replacements on a timely basis or at all. Further, in order to continue to grow our business, we will need to expand our senior management team. We may be unable to attract or retain these persons. This could hinder our ability to grow our business and could disrupt our operations or otherwise have a material adverse effect on our business.
Employment / Personnel - Risk 2
We are unable to attract additional management personnel and members to our Board of Directors.
Due to our insolvency, we are unable to dedicate any amount of cashflows to executive salaries and/or directors' and officers' insurance, therefore we are unable to attract additional executive personnel or Board Members. Until we can secure, at a minimum directors' and officers' insurance, the executive duties shall remain with our Chief Executive Officer.

FAQ

What are “Risk Factors”?
Risk factors are any situations or occurrences that could make investing in a company risky.
    The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requires that publicly traded companies disclose their most significant risk factors. This is so that potential investors can consider any risks before they make an investment.
      They also offer companies protection, as a company can use risk factors as liability protection. This could happen if a company underperforms and investors take legal action as a result.
        It is worth noting that smaller companies, that is those with a public float of under $75 million on the last business day, do not have to include risk factors in their 10-K and 10-Q forms, although some may choose to do so.
          How do companies disclose their risk factors?
          Publicly traded companies initially disclose their risk factors to the SEC through their S-1 filings as part of the IPO process.
            Additionally, companies must provide a complete list of risk factors in their Annual Reports (Form 10-K) or (Form 20-F) for “foreign private issuers”.
              Quarterly Reports also include a section on risk factors (Form 10-Q) where companies are only required to update any changes since the previous report.
                According to the SEC, risk factors should be reported concisely, logically and in “plain English” so investors can understand them.
                  How can I use TipRanks risk factors in my stock research?
                  Use the Risk Factors tab to get data about the risk factors of any company in which you are considering investing.
                    You can easily see the most significant risks a company is facing. Additionally, you can find out which risk factors a company has added, removed or adjusted since its previous disclosure. You can also see how a company’s risk factors compare to others in its sector.
                      Without reading company reports or participating in conference calls, you would most likely not have access to this sort of information, which is usually not included in press releases or other public announcements.
                        A simplified analysis of risk factors is unique to TipRanks.
                          What are all the risk factor categories?
