SUMMARY

 

The following summary highlights selected information contained in this prospectus. This summary does not contain all the information you should consider before investing in the securities. Before making an investment decision, you should read the entire prospectus carefully, including the “Risk Factors” section, the financial statements, and the notes to the financial statements.

 

For purposes of this prospectus, unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, all references herein to “ROR” “we,” “us,” the “Company” and “our,” refer to RIGHT OF REPLY LTD, a Company registered in England and Wales.

 

Without taking into account the offering, we will run out of funds approximately December 31, 2018. Following this offering, we will additionally incur public company reporting costs of approximately $100,000 per year or $25,000 per quarter. To fund the Company’s operating expenses following December 31, 2018, the Company will clearly require additional funding for ongoing operations and to finance additional growth. There is no guarantee that we will be able to raise any additional capital and have no current arrangements for any such financing.

 

Our near-term financing requirement (less than 6 months), is anticipated to be approximately $500,000, which includes a monthly overhead burn rate of $40,000, public reporting costs and the remainder allocated to the Company’s general working capital.

 

Beyond our near-term financing requirement (more than 6 months), we will need an additional approximately $4,000,000 to implement the Company’s plan of operations. Of this amount, we anticipate that we will need approximately $1,500,000 of the total amount required by the end of calendar year 2018.

 

The foregoing represents the Company’s best estimates as of the date of this Prospectus and may materially vary based upon actual experience.

 

The inability to obtain this funding either in the near term and/or longer term will materially affect the ability of the Company to implement its business plan of operations and jeopardize the viability of the Company. In that case, the Company may need to suspend its operations and reevaluate and revise its plan of operations

 

THE COMPANY

 

Business Overview

 

From inception (June 20, 2016) Right of Reply LTD (the “Company”) was organized to develop and market a unique service and solution to the issue of protection of personal rights. It is an applied patent technology related to the assertion of personal rights.

 

Prior to the internet, personal reputations were mostly a function of word of mouth and concrete evidence of a person’s character actually required getting to know one another. In today’s world, meeting someone in person isn’t so much a first impression, as it is a chance to confirm or refute what is already found online. For better or worse, people are using online searches to find information about you and other people that cross their paths. However, with the increasing speed of digital engagement, events can turn sour very fast, and damage to one’s personal reputation can be disproportionate to reality. For high-profile and average individuals alike, personal reputations can be built and lost in a matter of minutes.

 

Increasingly, people are using two online indicators - social content and credit history - as proxies to determine a person’s character and trustworthiness. This reductionist approach is faulty, dangerous and unsustainable in today’s rapidly shifting world, for two main reasons:

 

  1. As questionable online media sources proliferate, virtually anyone can publish damaging, unfiltered information with limited recourse. Unfortunately, laws and regulations are limited in their ability to fully protect one’s online identity - applying only to registered, regulated media. As a result, it is increasingly difficult to determine the truthfulness of online content specifically the accuracy of online personal reputations.

 

3
 

 

  2. Credit reports are notorious for high error rates and provide a limited view of one’s credit worthiness. Credit reports make no distinction for the different rationales underpinning why individuals may have defaulted on payments. For a large majority of the population, bad credit is often a function of unforeseen circumstances like sudden illness or divorce, and not a true reflection of their risk profile.

 

Right of Reply Ltd aims to become a respected source for reputation management by adding a level of verification to the first scenario and a narrative context to the second.

 

With this in mind, Right of Reply Ltd. was founded to provide rapid, low-cost, legally sound solutions to protect against negative content. By creating online platforms to access complete and updated personal information, individuals are empowered to respond to negative or erroneous content with timeliness and relevance. At the same time, the general public can access multiple perspectives on specific content and form a full and unbiased opinion regarding a person or event.

 

Right of Reply Ltd. empowers individuals to regain control and “tell their truth” on the two key determinants affecting their reputation - credit reports and personal online content – through three key subsidiaries:

 

  - RoR, a leading online technology allowing users to respond immediately to any online misinformation or personal attacks with a low-cost and legally sound solution to protect and manage their online reputations.
  - Reply on Credit Check (RoCC), an online applied technology that enables users to review and respond to negative content regarding their personal credit history. RoCC provides a wider range of data points and documentation to prove and assess credit worthiness in an effective and non-contentious manner.
  - RORKEY, “Register of Reputation Keys”, an innovative decentralized application (DApp), powered by Blockchain technology, allowing users to have a unique Digital Identity and personally reply to any content on the web, especially on unregulated media like social networks and blogs.

ROR: REPLYING TO ONLINE NEGATIVE CONTENT

 

Since our founding in 2016, we have witnessed sharp increases in misinformation and disinformation circulating on social media. While technological connectivity has proved to be highly valuable, it has enabled false news to travel faster, farther and deeper through our social networks than true news. It is important now, more than ever, to provide mechanisms to screen for reliability and truthfulness, and to empower individuals to respond to content that is inherently biased, false or inaccurate. Right of Reply is committed to promoting healthy public discourse. We believe that by expanding access to balanced, truthful content we are contributing to the promotion of private and constitutional rights - balancing the delicate nature of an individual’s right to let their truth be known, with the collective right to know.

 

Expanding access to truthful content

 

With increasing digital engagement, personal reputations are built and lost in a matter of minutes. For high-profile and average individuals alike, one’s online reputation is their most valuable asset. Unfortunately, laws and regulations are limited in their ability to fully protect one’s online identity - applying only to registered, regulated media. Social media platforms have blurred the definition of the term media source and given rise to the combination of real time “news” items and the comments and opinions about them to form a new interactive medium. Given the rapid proliferation of questionable online media sources, virtually anyone can publish damaging, unfiltered information with limited recourse.

 

With this in mind, ROR was founded to provide rapid, low-cost, legally sound solutions to protect against negative online content. By creating an online platform to access complete and updated personal information, individuals are now empowered to respond to negative content with timeliness and relevance, while the general public can access multiple perspectives on specific content and form a full and unbiased opinion regarding a person or event.

 

Traditionally, defending one’s personal reputation is a time-consuming and costly endeavor, requiring proof one’s reputation has been harmed. Often, damaging content is anonymous, making it difficult to discover who to contact for content to be corrected or deleted. Most harmful of all, content is searchable and remains online indefinitely, unless removed as a result of a specific action. Unfortunately, laws and regulations are limited in their ability to fully protect one’s online identity - applying only to registered, regulated media. Given the rapid proliferation of questionable online media sources, virtually anyone can publish damaging, unfiltered information with limited recourse.

 

ROR promotes positive public discourse by providing low-cost, accessible services that increase access to truthful content. Through ROR’s patented products, we provide value to three main beneficiary groups:

 

Individuals: right to have their truth be known

 

ROR empowers individuals to respond to negative content with timeliness and relevance. If a victim of negative online content chooses to publish a rebuttal, it is often long after the original content has been published. In most cases, a legitimate response rarely has the same weight or search engine ranking as the original damaging or inaccurate content. News which is negative, prejudicial and scandalous is often the most clicked on, and therefore receives wider distribution and a more prominent position on search indexes. In contrast, rebuttals are rarely viewed, difficult to locate, and not linked to the original content it was intended to refute. ROR helps even the playing field by enabling individuals to reply to biased content with the same time frame and prominence of the content itself.

 

Editors and publishers: protection against defamation and suits

 

One of the main challenges to publishing truthful content is to how to effectively harmonize the personal right to access information with freedom of expression. This tension can also lead to legal action, costs and reputational problems for the main search engines which are often cited in litigation by the parties involved.

 

ROR provides a low-cost, effective solution to respond to web content while protecting publishers from possible defamation charges.

Society in general: Collective right to know

 

ROR promotes fundamental rights enabling the general public to access multiple perspectives on specific content, including the perspective of the person cited. As a result, society is able to form a full and unbiased opinion regarding an event and a person’s reputation.

 

ROR is a subscription- and voucher-based service that provides value directly to consumers as well as enterprises. ROR can quickly reach mass populations through:

 

  Editors and Newspapers adopting ROR as a default rebuttal system
  Conventional search engines fully integrating ROR systems
  ROR’s logo to be posted on any searchable link connecting to a verifiable reply from the person cited

 

Right of Reply achieves its goal by empowering subscribers to:

 

 

RoR can be integrated into popular search engines to allow for parity among claims made online and their responses.

Over the last two years, ROR has engaged with several stakeholders to examine the work we do in the context of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Our belief is that by increasing access to truthful content, we will be contributing to many of the 17 goals. Of the SDGs, we believe SDG#16 - Promote peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development - in particular SDG Target 16.10 “Ensure public access to information and protect fundamental freedoms, in accordance with national legislation and international agreements, best aligns with ROR’s mission, values and work.

 

ROR’s system will not block or ban online content, this is offered by other systems and social networks. ROR specializes in the ability to reply strongly with the same timing and relevance on any content relevant to the individual. ROR empowers individuals to effectively reply to bullying or discriminating content.

 

ROR is not responsible for compliance with The General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) Art. 10, ROR is the controller of personal data that concerns its users, not third parties. ROR’s monitor, supports the right to reply for users that want to rectify content about them. Users can exercise their right to reply to content that can damage their reputation and personal identity. In this way, ROR’s offer the public complete information about a person or event. Individuals are not allowed to disclose content that concerns third parties.

 

 

ROCC: REPLY ON CREDIT CHECK

 

Living with limited or bad credit history is extremely difficult and can severely limit one’s access to a wide range of financial tools, jobs, rentals and services. While credit reports are used as a snapshot of one’s financial reputation, significant issues with both the collection and reporting process have resulted in strong calls for reform to the system.

 

Collection reporting agencies (CRAs) are often rebuked by consumers and federal agencies alike for:

 

  1. Proprietary and poorly understood formulas for determining creditworthiness that have disproportionate impact on consumers’ lives
  2. Repeated inaccuracies in credit reports
  3. Costly and time-consuming commitments to the task of correcting erroneous reports
  4. Outdated scores that do not keep up with modern-day economic realities.

 

Given society’s high reliance on the credit reporting system, one would assume that strong mechanisms are in place to ensure balanced and reliable reporting. In reality, speed and volume are preferred over accuracy, and large-scale inaccuracies are often tolerated. For CRAs, the costs for correcting the data far outweigh the benefits, and consumers at left at a severe disadvantage.

 

In the United States, there are no transparent platforms to showcase creditworthiness or to refute credit report errors. Even if a consumer attempts to correct a report error, there is no guarantee of a positive outcome. CRAs are legally required to check with the creditor or debt collector and ask them whether they stand by their claim, it is only then that CRAs review supporting documentation which can take a minimum of thirty days to process.

 

Moreover, the current system for calculating credit scores no longer meets the needs of today’s consumers. In today’s world, circumstances can change radically, and unforeseen events such as divorce or sudden illness can quickly and adversely affect one’s credit history. Global mobility, changes in marital status and other major life events can cause a person to appear not to exist with respect to the credit rating agencies. Under the current system, consumers with an otherwise strong credit history, are viewed in the same light as people who intentionally default on loans. There is no system that enables consumers to expose the rationales for default and why they fallen on hard times, thereby making it harder for consumers to bounce back.

 

  1. CRAs (Equifax, TransUnion, Experian) collect information from banks, mortgage servicers, debt collectors and other credit providers and sells raw data back to potential lenders.
  2. The data in credit reports are aggregated into a single credit score (e.g. FICO score) - score is widely used to determine if consumer qualifies for a loan and if so, at what interest rate.
  3. CRAs are not responsible for credit report accuracy - consumers are.

 

7
 

 

  4. If consumers see an error on their report, they contact one of the big three CRAs to dispute information.
  5. Credit bureau is legally required to check with the creditor or debt collector and ask them whether they stand by their claim.
  6. CRAs review supporting documentation which can take a minimum of thirty days to process.

 

Reply on Credit Check (ROCC) is an online applied technology that enables users to efficiently and effectively, review and respond to negative content regarding one’s personal credit history. ROCC is a rapid and effective solution to refute errors on personal credit reports; while providing a wider range of data points and documentation to prove and assess credit worthiness, in an effective and non-contentious manner. As part of the Right of Reply Ltd suite, RoCC leverages RoR’s powerful platform and tools to disrupt the credit risk assessment system.

 

RoCC enables individuals to regain control of their personal reputation by empowering them to fully express truths regarding their personal financial history. Too often, consumers and their creditworthiness are reduced to a mere number, dictating what financial options are available to them. Until now, there were are no effective means for consumers to refute credit report errors; nor were there platforms to effectively share rationales for poor credit ratings, or vehicles for highlighting a broader set of data points that showcase creditworthiness.

 

RoCC leverages RoR’s platform and empowers subscribers to:

 

  1. Authorize credit reviewers: Share credit report and responses to authorized persons/organizations such as employers, banks, accountants, with the “Who can read” Tool
  2. Check credit: Receive a real-time credit report from all major credit rating agencies, receive dynamic updates with any new changes on report, with the ‘Check the Credit’ tool.
  3. Respond Immediately: Refute errors in credit report by uploading supporting documentation, share rationales for poor credit history that allow creditors to receive full picture of payment before determining credit worthiness.
  4. Analyze Content: At a glance, potential creditors can review consumers uploaded documents a receive an unbiased and objective evaluation of the rationales justifying poor credit. Creditors can also analyze content not usually captured in credit reports e.g. utilities and remittances, showcasing positive payment history and conduct a more accurate assessment of consumers’ credit worthiness with the ‘Check the Text’ tool.
  5. Highlight Positive Content: Upload documents that showcase a wider range of positive payment history such as utility bills and remittances, highlight personal financial responsibility to new creditors, with the ‘Good Payments’ tool.

 

The picture below represents RoCC tools.

Result:

 

  1. Credit agencies will receive modified report with consumer annotations; any future creditors requesting the consumer’s credit history will be offered the choice between the “normal” report and the RoCC annotated report with supporting documentation. As an RoCC subscriber, potential creditors would receive consumer’s comments automatically as part of the service.
  2. Annotated credit report is posted on ROCC website and is available to anyone who the user has authorized “Who can read”

 

ROCC Key Beneficiaries:

 

Individuals: right to have truth be known

 

RoCC empowers individuals to regain ownership of their financial reputation and express truths regarding their financial history. Currently, algorithms determine one’s credit worthiness and do not give a full picture of a person’s capability to pay. RoCC enables individuals to correct credit report errors while empowering them to share rationales why they may have defaulted on loans e.g. sudden illness, divorce. In many cases, consumers default due to unforeseen circumstances, not because of poor money management. Sharing truths does not guarantee an improvement on credit rating; however, it enables consumers to share a full and complete picture of their financial history and allows creditors to then make an informed choice without being automatically discredited.

 

Credit Reporting Agencies: improve reputation and credit report accuracy

 

CRAs suffer from an extreme negative reputation and are the second most frequent source of consumer complaints at the US Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Complaints due to incorrect information on credit reports comprise of a significant percentage of all consumer complaints. Strong negative perceptions coupled with public embarrassments like the Equifax data breach demand a significant improvement on operations and product offerings. ROCC provides a seamless opportunity to CRAs to reduce their liabilities and empower consumers to update their credit histories with accurate information in a timely manner.

 

Creditors: right to consumer’s full and balanced financial history

 

Creditors are given a full picture of a consumer’s credit history, including the perspective of the consumer, and are empowered to make an informed choice on whether to engage in a financial relationship. Creditors can review a broader set of documents that would otherwise not populate a traditional credit report (e.g. rent, utilities, remittances) and benefit from a wider range of data points to make a balanced and more informed choice on a person’s creditworthiness. Through ROCC’s powerful tools, creditors can easily de-risk financial engagements and access large pools of traditionally underserved communities.

 

Through the ROCC platform, low-income consumers can upload documents indicating on-time payments for rental properties, utilities, phone bills, and remittances to home countries. ROCC widens definition of what it means to be creditworthy and promotes financial inclusion for traditionally marginalized communities.

 

Society: Mitigating societal effects of bad credit

 

Bad credit can prevent consumers from accessing financial tools such as mortgages, credit cards, or other loans, but can also have far-reaching consequences affecting personal relations and well-being. By providing mechanisms for consumers to overcome bad credit and regain access to financial tools, ROCC promotes:

 

  1. Healthy relationships: Often, when consumers cannot borrow money from traditional lenders due to bad credit, they turn to friends and family for help. Being late on credit card payments damages credit ratings but being late on promises to repay friends can destroy relationships resulting in social isolation. RoCC offers opportunities for consumers to reconnect with creditors and financial tools they otherwise would not have accessed.
     
  2. Decreased stress: Bad credit and stress are like conjoined twins. The average U.S. household carries $16,748 in credit card debt, and 22% said they felt “extreme” stress over their finances. This stress manifests itself through lack of sleep, loss of focus, and nagging worry. RoCC helps reduce stress by empowering consumers with a sense of agency. Individuals can now take control of their financial reputations by sharing their truths and reaching out to CRAs in an efficient and effective manner.

  3. Higher quality of life: Bad credit can prevent people from getting an education, from leaving unhealthy relationships, and from getting better jobs. The burden of negative credit history is a stranglehold and can keep people from fulfilling their potential. RoCC restores financial reputations and free individuals to achieve their dreams.

 

Credit reporting is the second most frequent source of consumer complaints handled by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, trailing only debt collection. The top two sources of those complaints were: incorrect information on a credit report (74 percent) or regarding the credit reporting company’s investigation of a complaint (11 percent). (Consumer financial Protection Bureau).

 

Restoring public confidence in CRAs

 

In the most basic terms, CRAs function as a reputation service, yet they themselves have suffered from a series of reputation hits that are too large to ignore. These incidents have left many questioning the legitimacy of these organizations and wondering whether the blows to CRAs, and growing concern about consumer privacy in general, could lead to major changes in how credit risk is reported. If CRAs are to maintain their dominance in the risk assessment ecosystem, they must partner with organizations like RoCC to create fairer, more precise credit history reports; and more importantly, take strides to ameliorate their negative reputation amongst the public.

 

Through partnership with ROCC, CRAs can improve internal efficiencies, while enhancing their public reputation by providing better services, like:

 

  1. Empowering consumers to correct erroneous reports in real-time: Consumers generally have to wait 30 or more days before credit report errors are corrected.
     
  2. Enabling consumers to share rationales why loans are in default: Credit report and scores do not offer an opportunity for consumers to showcase why they may have defaulted on loans. By empowering consumers with voice, CRAs help restore dignity to an otherwise shameful situation.
     
  3. Validate consumers through blockchain technology: Currently, CRAs validate consumer identity through social security numbers. Given recent data breaches, it is now easier for impostors ruin an individual’s credit history with little ramification. By partnering with RoCC, CRAs benefit from block chain technology that verifies user identity and gives increased confidence to consumers that their personal credit history is protected.
     
  4. Identifying creditors who repeatedly provide inaccurate information: US legislation only requires CRAs to check with creditors on whether or not there is a claim on a consumer. Currently there is no penalty for creditors who supply incorrect information. Through ROCC big data capabilities, it will be easy to expose and investigate repeated offenders, thereby putting CRAs on the side of advocating for fair and objective information.
     
  5. Increases access for people to view credit reports: Through RoCC’s push technology, consumers are prompted whenever there is an update on their credit report. Through this service, consumers are alerted of issues before they become a major impediment.
     
  6. Increase types of information credit reports contain while providing insights into financial responsibility: RoCC enables consumer to upload documentation such as rent, utility payments, or regular remittances sent to family, that provide important information about credit worthiness. Through RoCC technology, RoCC enables CRAs to consider a broader set of data points to determine financial responsibility without adding additional hurdles.

 

By partnering with RoCC, credit reporting agencies provide value on this service while enhancing the accuracy of the data it provides.

RORKey will effectively deter cyber-bullying activities and defamation.

 

We promote mutually beneficial interactions and positive public discourse by providing low-cost, accessible services that increase access to truthful and verified content.

 

Key Advantages

 

  RORKey leverages Blockchain to make digital reputation distributed, independent, immutable, sound and transparent.
  RORKey is a pioneer in this area. Furthermore, there is an interesting chance to create synergies with the existing Right of Reply platform.
  Using a Public Key on Blockchain technology improves the Digital Identity management, and the expression of constitutional and personal rights related to the right of reply.
  Using the platform will give more credibility to the reported content, since the CC explicitly alerts the User and allows him to share her/his version of the story.
  Give Users the chance, through a token vote, to express their personal opinion on a reputation dispute.
  Create a new form of interactive verifiable social medium in which the persons cited have the opportunity to reply and have their replies, precisely because they are the person cited, appear with more prevalence and timeliness.

Market Opportunity

 

  Lack of a single trustworthy and decentralized repository that collects and stores all the contents related to an individual.
  Lack of control due to homonyms and enormous and growing set of data and sources.
  Need for an easy way to share and access reputation related content.
  Need for an easy way to share the individual reply on any content found on Web that cited a specific person.
  Digital identity and reputation are of growing importance as is evidenced by their increasing use in business.
  Society as a whole is increasingly expressing concern over the unregulated power of social media to for4m opinion. RORKey can provide a backbone of verifiability to social media sources and citations.

Acquisitions

 

In addition to its internal growth and development, Right of Reply has and will continue to add elements to its products by selected acquisitions.

 

On January 1, 2018, ROR acquired a 51% interest in BSS-ONE Dueenne Group (“Dueenne”), a software development company based in Romania. Dueenne has been renamed BSS-ONE a Right of Reply Company srl and will be responsible to develop and maintain the Company’s platform, offering customer and call services. The 51% of Dueenne was acquired for 94,000 ordinary shares of ROR with a fair value of $10 per share (based on the Company’s IPO price) per its original registration statement which went effective in January 2018.

 

On April 4, 2018 the Company signed a Letter of Intent with the shareholders of The Fool, for the acquisition of 20% of the Fool equity capital, with an option, based on certain conditions, to acquire an additional 31%, over a period of 2 years. The Fool specializes in Online Reputation Management (ORM). The Company has acquired 10% of The Fool shares for Euros 1,000,000 ($1,193,000) by issuing 110,000 shares of the Company’s ordinary shares, fair value of $10.84 per share. An additional 10% will be bought with an investment in capital for Euros 1,000,000 ($1,193,000) in cash into The Fool.

 

Capital Formation

 

Right of Reply Ltd, shareholders equity capital formation.

 

The company was formed on June 20, 2016, with no capital. On July 3, 2016, all the assets related to the Right of Reply project were transferred by Mount Street Garden Ltd to Right of Reply Ltd, in exchange for 1,250,000 new Right of Reply ordinary shares, with a third-party valuation for the asset at 200,000 £ ($254,000) and an implicit equity price per shares of £0.16 ($0.2032).

 

In May 2017, the Company launched an increase in capital to issue 750,000 new shares at a price of £ 0.75 ($ 0.9525) per share, for a total shareholder equity placement of £ 562,500. All of this increase in capital was subscribed before June 30, 2017 by private investors and providers of services for a mix of cash and services rendered to the company. Of this £562,500 increase in capital £ 190,000 was subscribed in cash and £ 372,500 in services rendered to the company. On June 30, 2017 the company had 2,000,000 ordinary shares issued and outstanding with a paid in equity capital, in form of cash, asset and services of £ 762,500 ($ 968,375), for an average share price of £ 0.38125 ($ 0.4841).

 

In January 2018 the Company’s Registration Statement with respect to the placement of 250,000 shares at a maximum price of $10 per shares was declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Between January 2018 and May 1, 2018 the Company has placed an aggregate of 291,000 Ordinary Shares for an aggregate amount of 2,818,200 at an average price of $9.68 per share.

 

On May 7, 2018, the Company received a conversion notice from the holder of a Euro 250,000 convertible note payable. The conversion was completed in accordance with the terms of the convertible note and on May 11, 2018, the Company issued 45,000 Ordinary Shares to the convertible note holder.

Following March 31, 2019, the Company will clearly require additional funding for ongoing operations. There is no guarantee that we will be able to raise any additional capital and have no current arrangements for any such financing.

 

Emerging Growth Company Status Under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups (“JOBS”) Act

 

Because we generated less than $1 billion in total annual gross revenues during our most recently completed fiscal year, we qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups (“JOBS”) Act.

 

We will lose our emerging growth company status on the earliest occurrence of any of the following events:

 

1. On the last day of any fiscal year in which we earn at least $1 billion in total annual gross revenues, which amount is adjusted for inflation every five years;

 

2. On the last day of the fiscal year of the issuer following the fifth anniversary of the date of our first sale of common equity securities pursuant to an effective registration statement;

 

3. On the date on which we have, during the previous 3-year period, issued more than $1 billion in non- convertible debt; or

 

4. On the date on which such issuer is deemed to be a “large accelerated filer”, as defined in section 240.12b-2 of title 17, Code of Federal Regulations, or any successor thereto. A “large accelerated filer” is an issuer that, at the end of its fiscal year, meets the following conditions:

 

a. It has an aggregate worldwide market value of the voting and non-voting common equity held by its non-affiliates of $700 million or more as of the last business day of the issuer’s most recently completed second fiscal quarter;

 

b. It has been subject to the requirements of section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Act for a period of at least twelve calendar months; and

 

c. It has filed at least one annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Act.

 

As an emerging growth company, exemptions from the following provisions are available to us:

 

1. Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which requires auditor attestation of internal controls;

 

2. Section 14A(a) and (b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which require companies to hold shareholder advisory votes on executive compensation and golden parachute compensation;

 

3. Section 14(i) of the Exchange Act (which has not yet been implemented), which requires companies to disclose the relationship between executive compensation actually paid and the financial performance of the company;

 

4. Section 953(b)(1) of the Dodd-Frank Act (which has not yet been implemented), which requires companies to disclose the ratio between the annual total compensation of the CEO and the median of the annual total compensation of all employees of the companies; and

 

5. The requirement to provide certain other executive compensation disclosure under Item 402 of Regulation S-K. Instead, an emerging growth company must only comply with the more limited provisions of Item 402 applicable to smaller reporting companies, regardless of the issuer’s size.

 

Pursuant to Section 107 of the JOBS Act, an emerging growth company may choose to forgo such exemption and instead comply with the requirements that apply to an issuer that is not an emerging growth company. We have elected to maintain our status as an emerging growth company and take advantage of the JOBS Act provisions.

RISK FACTORS

 

Before you invest in our securities, you should be aware that there are various risks. You should consider carefully these risk factors, together with all of the other information included in this annual report before you decide to purchase our securities. If any of the following risks and uncertainties develop into actual events, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

 

Our independent auditors have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, which may hinder our ability to continue as a going concern and our ability to obtain future financing.

 

In their report dated April 2, 2018, our independent auditors stated that our financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2017 were prepared assuming that we would continue as a going concern and they expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. This doubt is based entirely upon the Company’s current lack of resources to execute its business plan. Our ability to continue as a going concern is an issue as we have just commenced operations as a development stage company. In our early stages of operations, we expect to experience net losses. Our ability to continue as a going concern is subject to our ability to generate a profit and/or obtain necessary funding from outside sources, including obtaining additional funding from the sale of our securities, increasing sales or obtaining loans and grants from various financial institutions where possible. If we are unable to continue as a going concern, you may lose your entire investment.

 

Without taking into account the offering, we will run out of funds approximately December 31, 2018. Following this offering, we will additionally incur public company reporting costs of approximately $100,000 per year or $25,000 per quarter. To fund the Company’s operating expenses following July 31, 2019, the Company will clearly require additional funding for ongoing operations and to finance such additional business it may identify. There is no guarantee that we will be able to raise any additional capital and have no current arrangements for any such financing.

 

Our near-term financing requirement (less than 12 months), is anticipated to be approximately $500,000, which includes a monthly overhead burn rate of $40,000, public reporting costs and the remainder allocated to general working capital. Beyond our near-term financing requirement (more than 12 months), we will need an additional approximately $4,000,000 to implement the Company’s plan of operations.

 

The foregoing represents the Company’s best estimates as of the date of this Prospectus and may materially vary based upon actual experience.

 

The inability to obtain this funding either in the near term and/or longer term will materially affect the ability of the Company to implement its business plan of operations and jeopardize the viability of the Company. In that case, the Company may need to suspend its operations and reevaluate and revise its plan of operations

 

We were formed in June 2016 and have a limited operating history and, accordingly, you will not have any basis on which to evaluate our ability to achieve our business objectives.

 

We are an early development stage company with no operating results to date. Since we do not have an established operating history and have not recorded any sales yet, you will have no basis upon which to evaluate our ability to achieve our business objectives.

 

The absence of any significant operating history for us makes forecasting our revenue and expenses difficult, and we may be unable to adjust our spending in a timely manner to compensate for unexpected revenue shortfalls or unexpected expenses.

 

As a result of the absence of any operating history for us, it is difficult to accurately forecast our future revenue. In addition, we have limited meaningful historical financial data upon which to base planned operating expenses. Current and future expense levels are based on our operating plans and estimates of future revenue. Revenue and operating results are difficult to forecast because they generally depend on our ability to promote and sell our services. As a result, we may be unable to adjust our spending in a timely manner to compensate for any unexpected revenue shortfall, which would result in further substantial losses. We may also be unable to expand our operations in a timely manner to adequately meet demand to the extent it exceeds expectations.

 

15
 

 

Our limited operating history does not afford investors a sufficient history on which to base an investment decision.

 

We are currently in the early stages of developing our business. There can be no assurance that at this time that we will operate profitably or that we will have adequate working capital to meet our obligations as they become due.

 

Investors must consider the risks and difficulties frequently encountered by early stage companies, particularly in rapidly evolving markets. Such risks include the following:

 

  Competition
     
  ability to anticipate and adapt to a competitive market;
     
  ability to effectively manage expanding operations; amount and timing of operating costs and capital expenditures relating to expansion of our business, operations, and infrastructure; and
     
  dependence upon key personnel to market and sell our services and the loss of one of our key managers may adversely affect the marketing of our services.

 

We cannot be certain that our business strategy will be successful or that we will successfully address these risks. In the event that we do not successfully address these risks, our business, prospects, financial condition, and results of operations could be materially and adversely effected and we may not have the resources to continue or expand our business operations.

 

We have no profitable operating history and May Never Achieve Profitability

 

From inception in June 2016, Right of Reply Ltd (the “Company”) was organized to develop and market systems which offer and unique and effective Right of Reply to its subscribers. In this regard, the Company seeks to reshape the current Right of Reply standards by delivering a new suite of services providing added value to the user. As of the date of this prospectus, the Company has yet to engage in any meaningful business activities and is an early development stage company. Through June 30, 2018, the Company has generated only minimal sales and the principals of the Company have worked without salary and the Company has operated with minimal overhead. We are faced with all of the risks associated with a company in the early stages of development. Our business is subject to numerous risks associated with a relatively new, low-capitalized company engaged in our business sector. Such risks include, but are not limited to, competition from well-established and well-capitalized companies, and unanticipated difficulties regarding the marketing and sale of our services. There can be no assurance that we will ever generate significant commercial sales or achieve profitability. Should this be the case, our Ordinary Shares could become worthless and investors in our Ordinary Shares or other securities could lose their entire investment.

 

The inability to obtain this funding either in the near term and/or longer term will materially affect the ability of the Company to implement its business plan of operations and jeopardize the viability of the Company. In that case, the Company may need to suspend its operations and reevaluate and revise its plan of operations.

 

Dependence on our Management, without whose services Company business operations could cease.

 

At this time, our management is wholly responsible for the development and execution of our business plan. Our management is under no contractual obligation to remain employed by us, although they have no present intent to leave. If our management should choose to leave us for any reason before we have hired additional personnel our operations may fail. Even if we are able to find additional personnel, it is uncertain whether we could find qualified management who could develop our business along the lines described herein or would be willing to work for compensation the Company could afford. Without such management, the Company could be forced to cease operations and investors in our Ordinary Shares or other securities could lose their entire investment.

 

Our officers and directors devote limited time to the Company’s business and are engaged in other business activities

 

At this time, none of our officers and directors devotes his full-time attention to the Company’s business and each expect to devote approximately height (8) hours per week to the Company’s business. Without full-time devoted management, the Company could be forced to cease operations and investors in our Ordinary Shares or other securities could lose their entire investment.

 

16
 

 

Some of our current officers and directors currently own Ordinary Shares. Our current officers and directors have the power to make all major decisions regarding our affairs, including decisions regarding whether or not to issue stock and for what consideration, whether or not to sell all or substantially all of our assets and for what consideration and whether or not to authorize more stock for issuance or otherwise amend our charter or bylaws.

 

Our two largest shareholders hold a controlling interest in the Company.

 

Our two largest shareholders, ATD Associazione Tenerezza di Dio (36.38% ownership) Mount Street Garden Holding (21,40% ownership), in the aggregate own over 57.78% of the outstanding stock of the Company. As such, these parties have the ability to cast a majority of votes on all matters which are submitted to the shareholders. There is no guarantee that they will use this voting majority to act in the best interests of all shareholders of the Company.

 

Lack of additional working capital may cause curtailment of any expansion plans while raising of capital through sale of equity securities would dilute existing shareholders’ percentage of ownership

 

Without taking into account the offering, we will run out of funds approximately December 31, 2018. Following this offering, we will additionally incur public company reporting costs of approximately $100,000 per year or $25,000 per quarter. To fund the Company’s operating expenses following December 31, 2018, the Company will clearly require additional funding for ongoing operations and to finance additional products and services it may identify. There is no guarantee that we will be able to raise any additional capital and have no current arrangements for any such financing. A shortage of capital would affect our ability to fund our working capital requirements. If we require additional capital, funds may not be available on acceptable terms, if at all. In addition, if we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the issuance of these securities could dilute existing shareholders. If funds are not available, we could be placed in the position of having to cease all operations.

 

We do not presently have a traditional credit facility with a financial institution. This absence may adversely affect our operations

 

We do not presently have a traditional credit facility with a financial institution. The absence of a traditional credit facility with a financial institution could adversely impact our operations. If adequate funds are not otherwise available, we may be required to delay, scale back or eliminate portions of our operations and product development efforts. Without such credit facilities, the Company could be forced to cease operations and investors in our common stock or other securities could lose their entire investment.

 

Our inability to successfully achieve a critical mass of revenues could adversely affect our financial condition

 

No assurance can be given that we will be able to successfully achieve a critical mass of revenue in order to cover our operating expenses and achieve sustainable profitability. Without such critical mass of revenues, the Company could be forced to cease operations.

 

Our success is substantially dependent on general economic conditions and business trends, a downturn of which could adversely affect our operations

 

The success of our operations depends to a significant extent upon a number of factors relating to consumer spending. These factors include economic conditions, activity in the financial markets, general business conditions, personnel cost, inflation, interest rates and taxation. Our business is affected by the general condition and economic stability of our consumers and their continued willingness to accept our products and services. An overall decline in the economy could cause a reduction in our sales and the Company could face a situation where it never achieves a critical mass of revenues and thereby be forced to cease operations.

 

Changes in generally accepted accounting principles could have an adverse effect on our business financial condition, cash flows, revenue and results of operations

 

We are subject to changes in and interpretations of financial accounting matters that govern the measurement of our performance. Based on our reading and interpretations of relevant guidance, principles or concepts issued by, among other authorities, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, our management believes that our current contract terms and business arrangements have been properly reported. However, there continue to be issued interpretations and guidance for applying the relevant standards to a wide range of contract terms and business arrangements that are prevalent in the industries in which we operate. Future interpretations or changes by the regulators of existing accounting standards or changes in our business practices could result in future changes in our revenue recognition and/or other accounting policies and practices that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows, revenue and results of operations.

 

17
 

 

We will need to increase the size of our organization and may experience difficulties in managing growth.

 

We are a small company with no current full-time employees. We expect to experience a period of significant expansion in headcount, facilities, infrastructure and overhead and anticipate that further expansion will be required to address potential growth and market opportunities. Future growth will impose significant added responsibilities on members of management, including the need to identify, recruit, maintain and integrate managers. Our future financial performance and its ability to compete effectively will depend, in part, on its ability to manage any future growth effectively.

 

We are subject to compliance with securities law, which exposes us to potential liabilities, including potential rescission rights.

 

We have offered and sold our common stock to investors pursuant to certain exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as well as those of various state securities laws. The basis for relying on such exemptions is factual; that is, the applicability of such exemptions depends upon our conduct and that of those persons contacting prospective investors and making the offering. We have not received a legal opinion to the effect that any of our prior offerings were exempt from registration under any federal or state law. Instead, we have relied upon the operative facts as the basis for such exemptions, including information provided by investors themselves.

 

If any prior offering did not qualify for such exemption, an investor would have the right to rescind its purchase of the securities if it so desired. It is possible that if an investor should seek rescission, such investor would succeed. A similar situation prevails under state law in those states where the securities may be offered without registration in reliance on the partial preemption from the registration or qualification provisions of such state statutes under the National Securities Markets Improvement Act of 1996. If investors were successful in seeking rescission, we would face severe financial demands that could adversely affect our business and operations. Additionally, if we did not in fact qualify for the exemptions upon which it has relied, we may become subject to significant fines and penalties imposed by the SEC and state securities agencies.

 

We incur costs associated with SEC reporting compliance.

 

The Company made the decision to become an SEC “reporting company” in order to comply with applicable laws and regulations. We incur certain costs of compliance with applicable SEC reporting rules and regulations including, but not limited to attorneys’ fees, accounting and auditing fees, other professional fees, financial printing costs and Sarbanes-Oxley compliance costs in an amount estimated at approximately $100,000 per year. On balance, the Company determined that the incurrence of such costs and expenses was preferable to the Company being in a position where it had very limited access to additional capital funding.

 

The availability of a large number of authorized but unissued shares of common stock may, upon their insurance, lead to dilution of existing shareholders.

 

As of August 10, 2018, 2,336,000 shares were issued and outstanding and we expect to issue up to an additional 400,000 shares in this Offering. At this time, the Company does not have any limitation on the number of additional shares it may issue. In this regard, additional shares may be issued by our board of directors without further shareholder approval. The issuance of large numbers of shares, possibly at below market prices, is likely to result in substantial dilution to the interests of other shareholders. In addition, issuances of large numbers of shares may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

 

Our need for additional capital that could dilute the ownership interest of investors.

 

We require substantial working capital to fund our business. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity, equity-related or convertible debt securities, these securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of the rights of holders of our Ordinary Shares and they may experience additional dilution. We cannot predict whether additional financing will be available to us on favorable terms when required, or at all. Since our inception, we have experienced negative cash flow from operations and expect to experience significant negative cash flow from operations in the future. The issuance of additional Ordinary Shares or Preference Shares by the Company may have the effect of further diluting the proportionate equity interest and voting power of holders of our Ordinary Shares.

 

18
 

 

We may not have adequate internal accounting controls. While we have certain internal procedures in our budgeting, forecasting and in the management and allocation of funds, our internal controls may not be adequate.

 

We are constantly striving to improve our internal accounting controls. Our board of directors has not designated an Audit Committee and we do not have any outside directors. We do not have a dedicated full time Chief Financial Officer. We hope to develop an adequate internal accounting control to budget, forecast, manage and allocate our funds and account for them. There is no guarantee that such improvements will be adequate or successful or that such improvements will be carried out on a timely basis. If we do not have adequate internal accounting controls, we may not be able to appropriately budget, forecast and manage our funds, we may also be unable to prepare accurate accounts on a timely basis to meet our continuing financial reporting obligations and we may not be able to satisfy our obligations under US securities laws.

 

We may not have adequate insurance coverage

 

We currently have only general liability insurance and we cannot assure you that we would not face liability upon the occurrence of any uninsured event which could result in any loss or damages being assessed against the Company.

 

We are subject to numerous laws and regulations that can adversely affect the cost, manner or feasibility of doing business.

 

Our operations are subject to extensive national, state and local laws and regulations relating to the financial markets. Future laws or regulations, any adverse change in the interpretation of existing laws and regulations or our failure to comply with existing legal requirements may result in substantial penalties and harm to our business, results of operations and financial condition. We may be required to make large and unanticipated capital expenditures to comply with governmental regulations. Our operations could be significantly delayed or curtailed and our cost of operations could significantly increase as a result of regulatory requirements or restrictions. We are unable to predict the ultimate cost of compliance with these requirements or their effect on our operations.

 

We do not intend to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future

 

We currently intend to retain all future earnings for use in the operation and expansion of our business. We do not intend to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future but will review this policy as circumstances dictate.

 

There is currently no market for our securities and there can be no assurance that any market will ever develop or that our common stock will be listed for trading.

 

There has not been any established trading market for our common stock and there is currently no market for our securities. Even if we are ultimately approved for trading, there can be no assurance as the prices at which our Ordinary Shares will trade if a trading market develops, of which there can be no assurance. Until our Ordinary Shares are fully distributed and an orderly market develops, (if ever) in our Ordinary Shares, the price at which it trades is likely to fluctuate significantly.

 

Prices for our Ordinary Shares will be determined in the marketplace and may be influenced by many factors, including the depth and liquidity of the market for the Ordinary Shares, developments affecting our business, including the impact of the factors referred to elsewhere in these Risk Factors, investor perception of us and general economic and market conditions. No assurances can be given that an orderly or liquid market will ever develop for our Ordinary Shares. Due to the anticipated low price of the securities, many brokerage firms may not be willing to effect transactions in the securities.

 

Our Ordinary Shares are subject to the Penny Stock Regulations

 

The SEC has adopted regulations which generally define “penny stock” to be an equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share. Our common stock, when and if a trading market develops, may fall within the definition of penny stock and subject to rules that impose additional sales practice requirements on broker- dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally those with assets in excess of $1,000,000, or annual incomes exceeding $200,000 or $300,000, together with their spouse).

 

19
 

 

For transactions covered by these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchase of such securities and have received the purchaser’s prior written consent to the transaction. Additionally, for any transaction, other than exempt transactions, involving a penny stock, the rules require the delivery, prior to the transaction, of a risk disclosure document mandated by the Commission relating to the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities 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. Finally, monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks. Consequently, the ‘penny stock’ rules may restrict the ability of broker-dealers to sell our common stock and may affect the ability of investors to sell their common stock in the secondary market.

 

Our Ordinary Shares are illiquid and subject to price volatility unrelated to our operations

 

The market price of our Ordinary Shares could fluctuate substantially due to a variety of factors, including market perception of our ability to achieve our planned growth, quarterly operating results of other companies in the same industry, trading volume in our Ordinary Shares, changes in general conditions in the economy and the financial markets or other developments affecting our competitors or us. In addition, the stock market is subject to extreme price and volume fluctuations. This volatility has had a significant effect on the market price of securities issued by many companies for reasons unrelated to their operating performance and could have the same effect on our common stock. Sales of substantial amounts of Ordinary Shares, or the perception that such sales could occur, could adversely affect the market price of our Ordinary Shares and could impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of our equity securities.

 

Management will have broad discretion as to the use of the proceeds from this offering, and we may not use the proceeds effectively.

 

Our management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds from this offering and could spend the proceeds in ways that do not improve our results of operations or enhance the value of our shares. Our failure to apply these funds effectively could have a material adverse effect on our business, stunt the growth of our business domestically and in foreign markets, and cause the price of our Ordinary Shares to decline.

 

You will experience immediate and substantial dilution in the net tangible book value per share of the common stock you purchase.

 

Since the price per Ordinary Share being offered is substantially higher than the net tangible book value per Ordinary Share, you will suffer substantial dilution in the net tangible book value of the Ordinary Shares you purchase in this offering. Based on the offering price of $15.00 per share, if you purchase Ordinary Shares in this offering, you will suffer immediate and substantial dilution of $12.34 per share in the net tangible book value of the Ordinary Shares if the Offering is fully subscribed. See the section entitled “Dilution” below for a more detailed discussion of the dilution you will incur if you purchase Ordinary Shares in this offering.

 

You may experience future dilution as a result of future equity offerings and other issuances of our common stock or other securities. In addition, this offering and future equity offerings and other issuances of our Ordinary Shares or other securities may adversely affect our Ordinary Share price.

 

In order to raise additional capital, we may in the future offer additional shares of our Ordinary Shares or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for our common stock, including but not limited to Preference Shares and convertible debt. We cannot assure you that we will be able to sell shares or other securities in any other offering at a price per share that is equal to or greater than the price per share paid by investors in this offering, and investors purchasing shares or other securities in the future could have rights superior to existing stockholders. The price per share at which we sell additional Ordinary Shares or securities convertible into Ordinary Shares in future transactions may be higher or lower than the price per share in this offering. In addition, the sale of shares in this offering and any future sales of a substantial number of Ordinary Shares in the public market, or the perception that such sales may occur, could adversely affect the price of our Ordinary Shares. We cannot predict the effect, if any, that market sales of those shares of Ordinary Shares or the availability of those Ordinary Shares for sale will have on the market price of our Ordinary Shares.

We have not voluntarily implemented various corporate governance measures, in the absence of which, shareholders may have more limited protections against interested director transactions, conflicts of interest and similar matters.

 

Federal legislation, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, has resulted in the adoption of various corporate governance measures designed to promote the integrity of the corporate management and the securities markets. Some of these measures have been adopted in response to legal requirements. Others have been adopted by companies in response to the requirements of national securities exchanges, such as the NYSE or other Stock Market, on which their securities are listed. Among the corporate governance measures that are required under the rules of national securities exchanges are those that address board of directors’ independence, audit committee oversight, and the adoption of a code of ethics. We have not yet adopted any of these corporate governance measures and, since our securities are not yet listed on a national securities exchange, we are not required to do so. It is possible that if we were to adopt some or all of these corporate governance measures, shareholders would benefit from somewhat greater assurances that internal corporate decisions were being made by disinterested directors and that policies had been implemented to define responsible conduct. Prospective investors should bear in mind our current lack of corporate governance measures in formulating their investment decisions.

 

For as long as we are an emerging growth company, we will not be required to comply with certain reporting requirements, including those relating to accounting standards and disclosure about our executive compensation, that apply to other public companies.

 

The Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act, or the JOBS Act contains provisions that, among other things, relax certain reporting requirements for “emerging growth companies,” including certain requirements relating to accounting standards and compensation disclosure. We are classified as an emerging growth company. For as long as we are an emerging growth company, which may be up to five full fiscal years, unlike other public companies, we will not be required to, among other things, (1) provide an auditor’s attestation report on management’s assessment of the effectiveness of our system of internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002, (2) comply with any new requirements adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, or the PCAOB, requiring mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report in which the auditor would be required to provide additional information about the audit and the financial statements of the issuer, (3) comply with any new audit rules adopted by the PCAOB after April 5, 2012 unless the SEC determines otherwise, (4) provide certain disclosure regarding executive compensation required of larger public companies or (5) hold shareholder advisory votes on executive compensation.

 

Further, our independent registered public accounting firm is not yet required to formally attest to the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting and will not be required to do so for as long as we are an “emerging growth company” pursuant to the provisions of the JOBS Act.

 

Under the JOBS Act we have elected to use an extended period for complying with new or revised accounting standards.

 

We have elected to use the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards under Section 102(b)(1), which allows us to delay adoption of new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private until those standards apply to private companies. As a result of this election, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates.

 

RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS AND INDUSTRY

 

If the market does not accept or embrace our offerings of products and services, our business may fail.

 

The products and services we are offering have not been tested in the market on a large-scale basis. As a result, we can only speculate as to the market acceptance of these products and services. No assurance can be given that the market will accept our products and services, or any of them. If the public fails to accept our products and services to a satisfactory degree, our business may fail.

 

Our market is highly competitive.

 

The market for computer software is highly competitive and most competitive companies and products will be far better financed and capitalized and have substantially greater resources than ours. While we believe that our products and services are competitive with services provided by other companies, there is no guarantee that we will be able to effectively compete against them, and if we do not effectively compete, our business may fail.

 

21
 

 

If we fail to protect our intellectual property and proprietary rights adequately, our business could be adversely affected.

 

We seek to protect our intellectual property through trade secrets, copyrights, confidentiality, non-compete and nondisclosure agreements, trademarks, domain names and other measures, some of which afford only limited protection. Despite our efforts to protect our proprietary rights, unauthorized parties may attempt to copy aspects of our intellectual property or to obtain and use property that we regard as proprietary. We cannot assure you that our means of protecting our proprietary rights will be adequate. In addition, the laws of some foreign countries do not protect our proprietary rights to as great an extent as the laws of the United States. Intellectual property protections may also be unavailable, limited or difficult to enforce in some countries, which could make it easier for competitors to steal our intellectual property. Our failure to protect adequately our intellectual property and proprietary rights could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

An assertion by a third party that we are infringing its intellectual property could subject us to costly and time-consuming litigation or expensive licenses and our business might be harmed.

 

We might not prevail in any intellectual property infringement litigation given the complex technical issues and inherent uncertainties in such litigation. Defending such claims, regardless of their merit, could be time- consuming and distracting to management, result in costly litigation or settlement, cause development delays, or require us to enter into licensing agreements.

 

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This prospectus contains forward-looking statements. This prospectus includes statements regarding our plans, goals, strategies, intent, beliefs or current expectations. These statements are expressed in good faith and based upon a reasonable basis when made, but there can be no assurance that these expectations will be achieved or accomplished. These forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of terms and phrases such as “believe,” “plan,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “target,” “estimate,” “expect,” and the like, and/or future-tense or conditional constructions “may,” “could,” “should,” etc. Items contemplating or making assumptions about, actual or potential future sales, market size, collaborations, and business opportunities also constitute such forward-looking statements.

 

Although forward-looking statements in this report reflect the good faith judgment of our management, forward- looking statements are inherently subject to known and unknown risks, business, economic and other risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to be materially different from those discussed in these forward- looking statements. Readers are urged not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this report. We assume no obligation to update any forward-looking statements in order to reflect any event or circumstance that may arise after the date of this report, other than as may be required by applicable law or regulation. Readers are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made by us in our reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission which attempt to advise interested parties of the risks and factors that may affect our business, financial condition, results of operation and cash flows. If one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or if the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, our actual results may vary materially from those expected or projected.

DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE

 

Since our shares are not listed or quoted on any exchange or quotation system, the offering price of the shares was arbitrarily determined and does not necessarily bear any relationship to our book value, assets, past operating results, financial condition or any other established criteria of value. The facts considered in determining the offering price were our financial condition and prospects, our limited operating history and the general condition of the securities market. Although our common stock is not listed on a public exchange, a market-maker has filed an application to FINRA to obtain a trading symbol and authorization to commence trading in the United States and the Company (through its market maker) has made application for listing on the NASDAQ Stock Market and for trading on the OTCQX market. There is no assurance that our common stock will trade at market prices in excess of the initial public offering price as prices for the common stock in any public market which may develop will be determined in the marketplace and may be influenced by many factors, including the depth and liquidity.

 

DILUTION

 

Our historical net tangible book value as of June 30, 2018 was approximately $1,379,659. Our historical net tangible book value is the amount of our total tangible assets less our liabilities. Historical net tangible book value per common share is our historical net tangible book value divided by the number of shares of Ordinary Stock outstanding as of June 30, 2018.

 

After giving effect to the sale of 400,000 shares of our Ordinary Stock and in this offering at the public offering price of $15.00 per share of common stock and after deducting the estimated offering expenses payable by us, our as-adjusted net tangible book value as of June 30, 2018 would have be approximately $7,351,912 or approximately $2.69 per share of Ordinary Stock. This represents an immediate increase in pro forma net tangible book value of approximately $2.18 per share to our existing Ordinary stockholders, and an immediate dilution of approximately $12.82 per Ordinary Share to new investors purchasing securities in this offering at the assumed public offering price.

 

The following table illustrates this dilution on a per share basis:

 

Assuming 400,000 shares sold in Offering (100% of shares offered) with gross proceeds of $ 6,000,000:    
Assumed Public Offering Price per Share  $15.00 
Historical net tangible book value per Ordinary Share as of June 30, 2018  $0.59
Pro forma increase in net tangible book value per share attributable to investors in this offering  $2.18 
As adjusted net tangible book value per Ordinary Share after this offering  $2.69 
Dilution per share to investors participating in this offering  $12.82 

 

Assuming 320,000 shares sold in Offering (80% of shares offered) with gross proceeds of $4,800,000    
Assumed Public Offering Price per Share  $15.00 
Historical net tangible book value per Ordinary Share as of June 30, 2018  $0.59 
Pro forma increase in net tangible book value per share attributable to investors in this offering  $1.80 
As adjusted net tangible book value per Ordinary Share after this offering  $2.32 
Dilution per share to investors participating in this offering  $13.20 

 

Assuming 200,000 shares sold in Offering (50% of shares offered) with gross proceeds of $3,000,000:    
Assumed Public Offering Price per Share  $15.00 
Historical net tangible book value per Ordinary Share as of June 30, 2018  $0.52 
Pro forma increase in net tangible book value per share attributable to investors in this offering  $1.17 
As adjusted net tangible book value per Ordinary Share after this offering  $1.72 
Dilution per share to investors participating in this offering  $13.83 

 

23
 

 

Assuming 100,000 shares sold in Offering (25% of shares offered) with gross proceeds of $1,500,000:    
Assumed Public Offering Price per Share  $15.00 
Historical net tangible book value per Ordinary Share as of June 30, 2018  $0.59 
Pro forma increase in net tangible book value per share attributable to investors in this offering  $0.60 
As adjusted net tangible book value per Ordinary Share after this offering  $1.17 
Dilution per share to investors participating in this offering  $14.40 

 

The foregoing discussion and table are based on 2,336,000 shares of Ordinary Stock outstanding as of June 30, 2018.

 

MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED SHAREHOLDER MATTERS

 

Holders

 

As of August 10, 2018, there were 32 record holders of our Ordinary Shares. As of August 10, 2018, there were 2,336,000 Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding. No public market currently exists for shares or preference shares. Through our market-maker, we have applied to have our shares initially listed for quotation on the OTCQX or NASDAQ and/or other trading market(s).

 

The Securities Enforcement and Penny Stock Reform Act of 1990

 

The Securities and Exchange Commission has also adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the Nasdaq system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system).

 

A purchaser is purchasing penny stock which limits the ability to sell the stock. The shares offered by this prospectus constitute penny stock under the Securities and Exchange Act. The shares will remain penny stocks for the foreseeable future. The classification of penny stock makes it more difficult for a broker-dealer to sell the stock into a secondary market, which makes it more difficult for a purchaser to liquidate his/her investment. Any broker-dealer engaged by the purchaser for the purpose of selling his or her shares in us will be subject to Rules 15g-1 through 15g-10 of the Securities and Exchange Act. Rather than creating a need to comply with those rules, some broker-dealers will refuse to attempt to sell penny stock.

 

The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the Commission, which:

 

  contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading;
     
  contains a description of the broker’s or dealer’s duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to a violation to such duties or other requirements of the Securities Act of 1934, as amended;
     
  contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including “bid” and “ask” prices for penny stocks and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask price;
     
  contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions;
     
  defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading penny stocks; and
     
  contains such other information and is in such form (including language, type, size and format) as the Securities and Exchange Commission shall require by rule or regulation;

 

24
 

 

The broker-dealer also must provide, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, to the customer:

 

  the bid and offer quotations for the penny stock;
     
  the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction;
     
  the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock; and
     
  monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account.

 

In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those 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 acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement. These disclosure requirements will have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our stock because it will be subject to these penny stock rules. Therefore, shareholders may have difficulty selling their securities.

 

Equity Compensation Plan Information

 

We have no outstanding stock option or other equity compensation plans.

 

Reports

 

We are subject to certain reporting requirements and will furnish annual financial reports to our shareholders, certified by our independent accountants, and will furnish unaudited quarterly financial reports in our quarterly reports filed electronically with the SEC. All reports and information filed by us can be found at the SEC website, www.sec.gov.

 

Stock Transfer Agent

 

The stock transfer agent for our securities is Equity Stock Transfer.

 

Dividend Policy

 

We have not previously declared or paid any dividends on our shares and do not anticipate declaring any dividends in the foreseeable future. The payment of dividends on our shares is within the discretion of our board of directors. We intend to retain any earnings for use in our operations and the expansion of our business. Payment of dividends in the future will depend on our future earnings, future capital needs and our operating and financial condition, among other factors that our board of directors may deem relevant. We are not under any contractual restriction as to our present or future ability to pay dividends.

The forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made, and, except to the extent required by federal securities laws, we undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as the result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

 

Overview

 

Prior to the internet, personal reputations were mostly a function of word of mouth, and concrete evidence of a person’s character actually required getting to know them. In today’s world, meeting someone in person isn’t so much a first impression as it is a chance to confirm or refute what can already be found online. For better or worse, people are using online search engines to find information about you and other people that cross their paths. However, with the increasing speed of digital engagement, events can turn sour fast, and damage to one’s personal reputation can be disproportionate. For high-profile and average individuals alike, personal reputations are built and lost in a matter of minutes. Increasingly, people are using two online indicators - social content and credit history - as proxies to determine an individual’s character and trustworthiness. This reductionist approach is faulty, dangerous and unsustainable, for two main reasons:

 

1- It is increasingly difficult to determine the truthfulness of online content, specifically the accuracy of online personal reputations. As questionable online media sources proliferate, virtually anyone can publish damaging and unfiltered information with limited recourse. Unfortunately, laws and regulations are limited in their ability to fully protect one’s online identity - applying only to registered, regulated media.

 

2- Credit reports are notorious for their high error rates and providing a limited view of one’s credit worthiness. Credit reports make no distinction for the different rationales behind why individuals may have defaulted on payments. For a large majority of the population, bad credit is often a function of unforeseen circumstances like sudden illness or divorce, and not a true reflection of their risk profile.

 

With this in mind, Right of Reply Ltd. was founded to provide rapid, low-cost, and legally sound solutions to protect against negative online content. By creating online platforms to access complete and updated personal information, individuals are able to respond to negative or erroneous content with timeliness and relevance. At the same time, the general public can access multiple perspectives on specific content and form a full and unbiased opinion regarding a person or event.

 

As a leading online reputation company, Right of Reply Ltd. empowers individuals to regain control and ‘tell their truth’ on the two key determinants affecting their reputation - credit reports and personal online content -through three key subsidiaries:

 

  - RoR, a leading online technology allowing users to respond immediately to any online misinformation or personal attacks with a low-cost and legally sound solution to protect and manage their online reputations.
  - Reply on Credit Check (RoCC), an online applied technology that enables users to review and respond to negative content regarding one’s personal credit history. RoCC provides a wider range of data points and documentation to prove and assess credit worthiness in an effective and non-contentious manner.
  - RORKEY, “Register of Reputation Keys”, an innovative DApp, powered by Blockchain technology, allowing users to have a unique Digital Identity and personally reply to any content on the web, especially on unregulated media like social networks and blogs.

The increase resulted primarily loans receivable from a related party and purchase of equipment offset by the cash acquired through the acquisition of Dueenne.

 

Net cash provided by financing activities increased to $1,410,783 for the six months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to $0 for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The increase resulted from short-term notes payable issued during the six months ended June 30, 2018 and the sale of ordinary shares.

 

Through the acquisition of Dueenne, we have generated revenue, but prior the acquisition we have financed our operations through private offerings of equity securities. We do not currently maintain a term loan with any commercial bank or other financial institution.

 

Since our inception, we have focused on developing and implementing our business plan. We believe that our existing cash resources will not be sufficient to sustain our operations during the next twelve months. We currently need to generate sufficient revenues to support our cost structure to enable us to pay ongoing costs and expenses as they are incurred, finance the development of our platform, and execute the business plan. If we cannot generate sufficient revenue to fund our business plan, we intend to seek to raise such financing through the sale of debt and/or equity securities. The issuance of additional equity would result in dilution to existing shareholders. If we are unable to obtain additional funds when they are needed or if such funds cannot be obtained on terms acceptable to us, we will be unable to execute upon the business plan or pay costs and expenses as they are incurred, which would have a material, adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

Even if we are successful in generating sufficient revenue or in raising sufficient capital in order to complete the platform, our ability to continue in business as a viable going concern can only be achieved when our revenues reach a level that sustains our business operations. There can be no assurance that we will raise sufficient proceeds, or any proceeds, for us to implement fully our proposed business plan. Moreover, there can be no assurance we will generate revenues sufficient to fund our operations. In either such situation, we may not be able to continue our operations and our business might fail.

 

The foregoing forward-looking information was prepared by us in good faith based upon assumptions that we believe to be reasonable. No assurance can be given, however, regarding the attainability of the projections or the reliability of the assumptions on which they are based. The projections are subject to the uncertainties inherent in any attempt to predict the results of our operations, especially where new products and services are involved. Certain of the assumptions used will inevitably not materialize and unanticipated events will occur. Actual results of operations are, therefore, likely to vary from the projections and such variations may be material and adverse to us. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that such results will be achieved. Moreover, due to changes in technology, new product announcements, competitive pressures, system design and/or other specifications we may be required to change the current plans.

Shareholders of Right of Reply LTD

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Right of Reply LTD (the Company) as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the related statements of operations, comprehensive loss, shareholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2017 and the period from June 20, 2016 (inception) to December 31, 2016, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2017 and the period from June 20, 2016 (inception) to December 31, 2016, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company’s losses from development activities 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 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, 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.

 

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2017.

Notes to the Financial Statements

 

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Nature of the Business

 

The Right of Reply LTD (the “Company” or “ROR”) was originally registered as a private limited company in the United Kingdom on June 20, 2016.

 

The Company was organized to develop and market a unique service that is at the same time a solution to a problem, a search engine, a social network, a service, an applied patent technology, and the assertion of personal rights.

 

ROR is a pay by subscription service, a system, and a technology which provides a rapid, effective, definitive, and legally sound solution to a particularly sensitive problem: The problem of a person’s good reputation, or rather the negative effect on a person’s reputation when it becomes the target of various forms of web content, whether it be in the form of articles, images, videos, blog comments, web forums, etc., which can be damaging to a greater or lesser degree and to which it is often difficult or practically impossible to respond and/or obtain redress.

 

On June 19, 2017, the Company decreased the par value of the ordinary shares from $1.44 to $0.036 per share and increased the total number of ordinary shares allotted to 2 million, which have been given retroactive effect in the balance sheet.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying financial statements of ROR have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”).

 

Fair value

 

The carrying amounts reflected in the balance sheets for cash, prepaid expenses, accounts payable and accrued expenses and loan payable – related party approximate fair value due to the short maturities of these instruments.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

In accordance with FASB ASC 605, “Revenue Recognition,” the Company recognizes revenue when (i) persuasive evidence of a customer or distributor arrangement exists, (ii) a retailer, distributor or wholesaler receives the goods and acceptance occurs, (iii) the price is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability of revenue is reasonably assured.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company follows FASB ASC 740 when accounting for income taxes, which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed annually for temporary differences between the financial statements and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense is the tax payable or refundable for the period plus or minus the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Tax years from June 20, 2016 (Inception) through 2017 remain subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions.

 

F-7
 

 

Comprehensive Loss

 

The Company follows Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB ASC”) 220, “Comprehensive Income,” in reporting comprehensive income. Comprehensive income is a more inclusive financial reporting methodology that includes disclosure of certain financial information that historically has not been recognized in the calculation of net income. The Company has one item of other comprehensive loss, consisting of a foreign translation adjustment.

 

Foreign Currency Transactions and Translation

 

The functional currency of the operations of ROR is the Great Britain Pound. Gains and losses, if any, resulting from transactions in currencies other than the functional currency of the Company are recorded in the statement of operations for the reporting period as part of general and administrative expense. Included in general and administrative expense were foreign currency transaction losses of $1,304 and $0 for the year ended December 31, 2017 and the period from June 20, 2016 (“Inception”) to December 31, 2016.

 

The reporting currency of the Company is the United States (U.S.) dollar. The financial statements in functional currencies are translated to U.S. dollars using the closing rate of exchange for assets and liabilities and average rate of exchange for the statement of operations. The capital accounts are translated at historical rate. Translation gains and losses are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss as a component of shareholders’ equity.

 

Patents and Trademarks

 

Costs associated with the registration and any legal defense of the patents and trademarks are capitalized and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the estimated useful or legal lives of the patents and trademarks, which is generally 20 years. Costs incurred for patents and trademarks that are not approved are expensed in the month in which they are rejected.

 

Basic and Diluted Net Income per Share of Ordinary Shares

 

The Company follows FASB ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share,” when reporting Earnings Per Share resulting in the presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share. Because the Company reported a net loss for the year ended December 31, 2017 and for the period from June 20, 2016 (“Inception”) to December 31, 2016 and because the Company has no ordinary share equivalents, the amounts reported for basic and diluted loss per share were the same.

 

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

 

As of December 31, 2017 and for the year then ended, there were no recently adopted accounting pronouncements that had a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, which deferred the effective date of Update 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Since the Company is a development stage company with no revenue, the adoption on January 1, 2018 of this amendment will have no effect on the financial statements. When the Company begins to recognize revenue, it will adhere to the guidance in the amendment.

 

F-8
 

 

NOTE 2 – MANAGEMENT PLANS

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred losses and experienced negative cash flow from operations since inception and has no cash. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Since inception, the Company has focused on developing and implementing its business plan. The Company believes that its existing cash resources will not be sufficient to sustain operations during the next twelve months. The Company currently needs to generate revenue in order to sustain its operations. In the event that the Company cannot generate sufficient revenue to sustain its operations, the Company will need to reduce expenses or obtain financing through the sale of debt and/or equity securities. The issuance of additional equity would result in dilution to existing shareholders. If the Company is unable to obtain additional funds when they are needed or if such funds cannot be obtained on terms acceptable to the Company, the Company would likely be unable to execute upon the business plan or pay costs and expenses as they are incurred, which would have a material, adverse effect on the business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

NOTE 3 – PATENTS AND TRADEMARKS

 

The patents and trademarks owned by the Company were acquired from a related party for 1,250,000 ordinary shares during the period ended December 31, 2016. As such, the patents and intangibles acquired from the related party have been valued at $2,679 based on the costs to the related party relative to establishing the patents and trademarks. These costs are being amortized over the life of the patents. The fair value of the 1,250,000 ordinary shares issued was $1,345,566 based on the value of shares sold to independent third parties in May 2017. The fair value of the ordinary shares in excess of the cost of the contributed intangibles of $1,342,887 was expensed immediately. Amortization expense for the year ended December 31, 2017 and for the period from June 20, 2016 (“Inception”) to December 31, 2016 was $389 and $82.

 

NOTE 4 – ACCRUED EXPENSES - RELATED PARTIES

 

As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company had accrued $67,456 and $0 to directors for directors fees. The Company paid $2,500 and $0 for directors’ fees during the year ended December 31, 2017 and for the period from June 20, 2016 (“Inception”) to December 31, 2016.

 

As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company had accrued an officer’s salary in the amount of $13,491 and $0. The Company paid $0 for officer’s salaries during the year ended December 31, 2017 and for the period from June 20, 2016 (“Inception”) to December 31, 2016.

 

As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company had accrued consulting fees in the amount of $84,995 and $0 to the husband of a shareholder. The Company paid $0 for these consulting fees during the year ended December 31, 2017 and for the period from June 20, 2016 (“Inception”) to December 31, 2016.

 

NOTE 5 – LOAN PAYABLE - RELATED PARTY

 

In December 2017, the Company received a loan from an officer, with no repayment terms and no interest in the amount of $645.

 

NOTE 6 – INCOME TAXES

 

The Company follows FASB ASC 740-10-10 whereby an entity recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for future tax consequences or events that have been previously recognized in the Company’s financial statements or tax returns. The measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities is based on provisions of enacted tax law. The effects of future changes in tax laws or rates are not anticipated.

 

F-9
 

 

The Company has trading losses in Great Britain, which is similar to net operating losses in the United States, of approximately $655,000. Deferred tax assets would arise from the recognition of anticipated utilization of these net operating losses to offset future taxable income.

 

The income tax (benefit) provision consists of the following:

 

   December 31, 
   2017   2016 
Current  $-   $- 
Deferred   (149,000)   - 
Change in valuation allowance   149,000    - 
           
   $-   $- 

 

The following is a reconciliation of the tax derived by applying the Great Britain rate of 19% and 20% for the years ended December 31, 2017 and for the period from June 20, 2016 (“Inception”) to December 31, 2016 to the losses before income taxes and comparing that to the recorded tax provisions:

 

   December 31, 2017   December 31, 2016 
   Amount   %   Amount   % 
United Kingdom income tax benefit atstatutory rate  $(149,000)   (19)  $(269,000)   (20)
Non-deductible fair value of ordinary shares in excess of cost of contributed intangibles   -    -    269,000    20 
Change in valuation allowance   149,000    19    -    - 
                     
Net  $-    -   $-    - 

 

The primary components of the Company’s December 31, 2017 and 2016 deferred tax assets and related valuation allowances are as follows:

 

   December 31, 
   2017   2016 
         
Deferred tax asset for trading losses carryforward  $149,000   $- 
Valuation allowance   (149,000)   - 
           
Net  $-   $- 

 

As of December 31, 2017, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits, and accordingly, the Company did not recognize interest or penalties during 2017 related to unrecognized tax benefits. There has been no change in unrecognized tax benefits during the year ended December 31, 2017, and there was no accrual for uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2017. The tax years 2017 and 2016 remain subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions.

NOTE 8 – OPERATING LEASES

 

As of December 31, 2017, the Company was not obligated under any non-cancelable operating lease arrangements.

 

NOTE 9 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

On January 8, 2018, the Company issued a $200,000, 7% per annum, one-year convertible promissory note. The promissory note can be converted at any time into the Company’s ordinary shares at $5.00 per share or 50% of the Initial Public Offering price, whichever is lower. The Company can call the loan at any time for 107% of the face value.

 

On March 2, 2018, the Company announced it has signed an advisory and brokerage agreement with a London Investment Banking firm, with a view to list the Company on the London Stock Exchange Standard Segment to allow for more European investors to participate in the IPO. The Company’s goal is to raise £2.25 million in equity, at £7.50 share price, with a pre-money valuation of £15 million. The use of proceeds will be for working capital and the closure of one or more strategic acquisitions.

 

On March 14, 2018, the Company issued a $250,000, 5% per annum, one-year convertible promissory note. The promissory note can be converted at any time into the Company’s ordinary shares at £4.875 per share or 35% of the Initial Public Offering price. The note bears interest at a total of €12,500 and matures on March 20, 2019. This note is senior to the Company’s accruals and accounts payable.

 

The Company loaned $52,868 to a company in which a major shareholder of ROR is also a 5% shareholder in the company from January 1, 2018 through the date of this report. The loans are non interest bearing and has no formal expiration date.

 

The Company has collected $111,364 and issued 117,997 shares relative to the subscriptions receivable from January 1, 2018 through the date of this report.

 

On January 1, 2018, the Company acquired a 51% interest in BSS-ONE Dueenne Group in consideration for 94,000 shares of the Company. The transaction has not been finalized, but the estimated value of the transaction is approximately $951,000, which is based on the expected Initial Public Offering listing price of the shares of the Company of £7.50.

 

F-11
 

 

The value of purchase price consideration will change based on fluctuations in the share price of the Company’s ordinary shares. The Company has performed a preliminary valuation analysis of the fair market value of BSS-ONE Dueenne Group Company’s assets to be acquired and liabilities to be assumed. Using the total consideration for the Acquisition, the Company has estimated the allocations to such assets and liabilities. The following table summarizes the allocation of the preliminary purchase price as of the transaction’s closing date:

 

Consideration    
Equity  $951,000 
Fair Value of Noncontrolling interest   914,000

Pro forma adjustments:

 

Pro forma adjustments are necessary to reflect the estimated purchase price and the estimated fair valuation of acquired Assets. The pro forma adjustments included in the unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet are as follows:

 

(a)To reflect the preliminary purchase price. The preliminary purchase price has been allocated to the net fair value of tangible identifiable assets. The excess of the purchase price over the net fair value of the tangible assets acquired, liabilities assumed and the value of the noncontrolling interest resulted in goodwill of $1,821,000. The goodwill was allocated to the controlling interest in the amount of $929,000 and to the non-controlling interest in the amount of $892,000
(b)Eliminate investment in subsidiary.

NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Nature of the Business

 

Right of Reply LTD (“ROR”) was originally registered as a private limited company in the United Kingdom on June 20, 2016.

 

Prior to the internet, personal reputations were mostly a function of word of mouth, and concrete evidence of a person’s character actually required getting to know them. In today’s world, meeting someone in person isn’t so much a first impression as it is a chance to confirm or refute what can already be found online. For better or worse, people are using online search engines to find information about you and other people that cross their paths. However, with the increasing speed of digital engagement, events can turn sour fast, and damage to one’s personal reputation can be disproportionate. For high-profile and average individuals alike, personal reputations are built and lost in a matter of minutes. Increasingly, people are using two online indicators - social content and credit history - as proxies to determine an individual’s character and trustworthiness. This reductionist approach is faulty, dangerous and unsustainable, for two main reasons:

 

1- It is increasingly difficult to determine the truthfulness of online content, specifically the accuracy of online personal reputations. As questionable online media sources proliferate, virtually anyone can publish damaging and unfiltered information with limited recourse. Unfortunately, laws and regulations are limited in their ability to fully protect one’s online identity - applying only to registered, regulated media.

 

2- Credit reports are notorious for their high error rates and providing a limited view of one’s credit worthiness. Credit reports make no distinction for the different rationales behind why individuals may have defaulted on payments. For a large majority of the population, bad credit is often a function of unforeseen circumstances like sudden illness or divorce, and not a true reflection of their risk profile.

With this in mind, ROR was founded to provide rapid, low-cost, and legally sound solutions to protect against negative online content. By creating online platforms to access complete and updated personal information, individuals are able to respond to negative or erroneous content with timeliness and relevance. At the same time, the general public can access multiple perspectives on specific content and form a full and unbiased opinion regarding a person or event.

 

As a leading online reputation company, ROR empowers individuals to regain control and ‘tell their truth’ on the two key determinants affecting their reputation – personal online content and credit reports -through three key subsidiaries:

 

  - RoR, a leading online technology allowing users to respond immediately to any online misinformation or personal attacks with a low-cost and legally sound solution to protect and manage their online reputations.
  - Reply on Credit Check (RoCC), an online applied technology that enables users to review and respond to negative content regarding one’s personal credit history. RoCC provides a wider range of data points and documentation to prove and assess credit worthiness in an effective and non-contentious manner.
  - RORKEY, “Register of Reputation Keys”, an innovative DApp, powered by Blockchain technology, allowing users to have a unique Digital Identity and personally reply to any content on the web, especially on unregulated media like social networks and blogs.

 

F-21
 

 

On January 1, 2018, ROR acquired a 51% interest in BSS-ONE Dueenne Group (“Dueenne”), a software development company based in Romania. Dueenne will be responsible to develop and maintain the Company’s platform, offering customer and call services. The 51% of Dueenne was acquired for 94,000 ordinary shares of ROR with a fair value of $10 per share.

 

On May 14, 2018 the Company acquired 10% of The Fool equity capital, with an option based on certain conditions, to acquire an additional 31%, over a period of 2 years. The Fool specializes in Online Reputation Management (ORM). The Company has acquired 10% of The Fool shares by issuing 110,000 shares of the Company’s ordinary shares, with a fair value of $1,116,819. This investment will be accounted for using the cost method.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP have been condensed. The accompanying unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 as filed with the SEC. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2018.

 

The Company’s activities are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including failing to secure additional financing to operationalize the Company’s current technology before another company develops similar technology to compete with the Company.

 

The Company is an emerging growth company as the term is used in The Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act enacted on April 5, 2012 and has elected to comply with certain reduced public company reporting requirements.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB ASC”) 605, “Revenue Recognition” the Company recognizes revenue when (i) persuasive evidence of a customer or distributor arrangement exists, (ii) a retailer, distributor or wholesaler receives the goods and acceptance occurs, (iii) the price is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability of revenue is reasonably assured. Revenue consists of computer consulting services, resale of Voice Over Internet Protocol (“VOIP”) prepaid charges, and sale of computer hardware and software.

 

Comprehensive Income

 

The Company follows FASB ASC 220, “Comprehensive Income,” in reporting comprehensive income. Comprehensive income is a more inclusive financial reporting methodology that includes disclosure of certain financial information that historically has not been recognized in the calculation of net income. The Company has one item of other comprehensive loss, consisting of foreign translation adjustments.

 

Concentration of credit risk

 

The Company places its cash primarily in checking and money market accounts with reputable financial institutions. Deposits held with these financial institutions may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits, if any.

 

The Company’s accounts receivable are typically secured and are derived from customers around the world in different industries.

 

The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and maintains allowances for potential credit losses. Historically, such losses have been within management’s expectations. As of December 31, 2017, one customer accounted for 13% of the Company’s net accounts receivable balance. As of June 30, 2018, three customers accounted for 55.5% of the Company’s net accounts receivable balance.

 

F-22
 

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company’s financial instruments consist of accounts receivable, loans, accounts payable and accrued expenses, loans payable and notes payable. The carrying value of accounts receivable, loans and other receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses and loans payable approximate their fair value because of their short maturities. The Company believes the carrying amount of its note payable approximates fair value based on rates and other terms currently available to the Company for similar debt instruments.

 

Foreign Currency Transactions and Translation

 

The functional currency of the operations of ROR is the British Pound. The functional currency of Dueenne is the Romanian New Lei (“RON”). Gains and losses, if any, resulting from transactions in currencies other than the functional currency of the Company are recorded in the statement of operations for the reporting periods as part of general and administrative expense. Included in general and administrative expense were foreign currency transaction losses of $19,905 and $18,192 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and $0 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017.

 

The reporting currency of the Company is the United States (U.S.) dollar. The financial statements in functional currencies are translated to U.S. dollars using the closing rate of exchange for assets and liabilities and average rate of exchange for the statement of operations. The capital accounts are translated at historical rate. Translation gains and losses are recorded in the accumulated other comprehensive income loss as a component of shareholders’ equity.

 

Furniture and Equipment

 

Furniture and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The estimated useful lives of furniture and equipment are three to five years.

 

The Company takes technology changes into consideration as it assigns the estimated useful lives, and monitors the remaining useful lives of asset groups to reasonably match the remaining economic life with the useful life and makes adjustments when necessary. Upon retirement or disposition of furniture and equipment, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is recognized.

 

Inventory

 

The Company’s inventories consist primarily of items held for resale such as devices and accessories. The Company values its inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Inventory cost is computed on an average cost basis. Net realizable value is determined by reviewing current replacement cost, marketability and obsolescence.

 

Patents and Trademarks

 

Costs associated with the registration and any legal defense of the patents and trademarks are capitalized and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the estimated useful or legal lives of the patents and trademarks, which is generally 20 years. Costs incurred for patents and trademarks that are not approved are expensed in the month in which they are rejected.

 

Basic and Diluted Net Income per Share of Ordinary Shares

 

The Company follows FASB ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share,” when reporting Earnings Per Share resulting in the presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share. Because the Company reported a net loss for each of the periods presented and because the Company has no ordinary share equivalents, the amounts reported for basic and diluted loss per share were the same.

Research and Development Costs

 

In accordance with FASB ASC 730, research and development costs are expensed when incurred. Research and development costs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 were $(2,250), and $42,219 and for three and six months ended June 30, 2017 were $0.

 

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

 

As of June 30, 2018 and for the period then ended, there were no recently adopted accounting pronouncements that had a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, which deferred the effective date of Update 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Since the Company is an emerging growth company, this amendment will be adopted on January 1, 2019 and is not anticipated to have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230), Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. The Update addresses eight specific changes to how cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. The amendments in this Update are effective for public business entities which are emerging growth companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. An entity that elects early adoption must adopt all of the amendments in the same period. The amendments in this Update should be applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. The company does not expect the adoption of this update to have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

NOTE 2 – MANAGEMENT PLANS

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred significant losses and experienced negative cash flow from operations since inception. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

On July 23. 2018, the Company issued a 7% one-year convertible promissory note for €50,000 ($59,600). The Company is also considering an equity placement at $13.5 per ordinary share with a goal to issue a minimum 100 ordinary shares to a maximum 300 shareholders. This placement is needed in order for the Company to be listed on NASDAQ. Following the closing of its first registration statement, the Company plans to file a new registration statement (on Form S-1) to place 400,000 new ordinary shares at $15 per share for gross proceeds of $6,000,000.

 

Since inception, the Company has focused on developing and implementing its business plan and sought acquisitions to augment its business plan. The Company believes that its existing cash resources will not be sufficient to sustain operations during the next twelve months. The Company currently needs to generate additional revenue in order to sustain its operations. In the event that the Company cannot generate sufficient revenue to sustain its operations, the Company will need to reduce expenses or obtain financing through the sale of debt and/or equity securities. The issuance of additional equity would result in dilution to existing shareholders. If the Company is unable to obtain additional funds when they are needed or if such funds cannot be obtained on terms acceptable to the Company, the Company would likely be unable to execute upon the business plan or pay costs and expenses as they are incurred, which would have a material, adverse effect on the business, financial condition and results of operations.

NOTE 3 – ACQUISITION OF DUEENNE

 

The Company accounts for acquisitions of entities that include inputs and processes and have the ability to create outputs as business combinations in accordance with ASC Topic 805 Business Combinations. The purchase price of the acquisition is allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the acquisition dates. The excess of the purchase price over those fair values is recorded as goodwill. During the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date, the Company may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed with the corresponding offset to goodwill. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period or final determination of the values of assets acquired or liabilities assumed, whichever comes first, any subsequent adjustments are recorded to the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

 

Costs to exit or restructure certain activities of an acquired company or the Company’s internal operations are accounted for as one-time termination and exit costs and are accounted for separately from the business combination. Restructuring and other acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred.

 

On January 1, 2018, the Company acquired a 51% interest in Dueenne in consideration for 94,000 ordinary shares of ROR, with a fair value of $951,000.

 

The value of purchase price consideration will change based on fluctuations in the share price of the Company’s ordinary shares. The Company has performed a preliminary valuation analysis of the fair market value of Dueenne assets to be acquired and liabilities to be assumed. Using the total consideration for the Acquisition, the Company has estimated the allocations to such assets and liabilities. The following table summarizes the allocation of the preliminary purchase price as of the transaction’s closing date:

 

Consideration    
Equity  $951,000 
Fair Value of Noncontrolling interest   914,000 
Acquisition Date Fair Value of Target   1,865,000 
Less: Fair Value of Identifiable Net Assets   (44,000)
Total Goodwill   1,821,000 
Less: Goodwill - Controlling Interest   (929,000)
Goodwill - Noncontrolling interest  $892,000 

 

Recognized amounts of identifiable assets
acquired and liabilities assumed at fair value:
    
Cash  $76,000 
Accounts receivable   219,000 
Inventories   30,000 
Deferred tax assets   9,000 
Property, Plant and Equipment   43,000 
Accounts payable and accrued expenses   (318,000)
Notes payable   (15,000)
Total identifiable net assets - Fair value  $44,000 

 

NOTE 4 – ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

 

The Company records accounts receivable at the invoiced amount. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts to reserve for potentially uncollectible receivable amounts. In evaluating the Company’s ability to collect outstanding receivable balances, the Company considers various factors including the age of the balance, the creditworthiness of the customer, which is assessed based on ongoing credit evaluations and payment history, and the customer’s current financial condition. As of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, accounts receivable are presented net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of $3,307 and $0. Uncollectible accounts receivable are charged against the allowance for doubtful accounts when all collection efforts have failed and it is deemed unlikely that the amount will be recovered.

NOTE 5 – LOANS RECEIVABLE – RELATED PARTY

 

As of June 30, 2018, the Company has loaned £58,890 ($77,450) to a company in which a major shareholder of the Company is also a 5% shareholder in the other company and a director of the Company is the Chief Executive Officer of the other company. The loans are non-interest bearing and have no formal expiration date.

 

NOTE 6 – INVENTORY

 

Inventory as of June 30, 2018 consists of computer parts and supplies.

 

NOTE 7 – PREPAID EXPENSES

 

Prepaid expenses consist primarily of prepaid VOIP and prepaid legal fees.

NOTE 9 – INCOME TAXES

 

The Company has operations in both Great Britain and Romania. The tax rates in Great Britain and Romania are 19% and 16%. At June 30, 2018, the Company has trading losses in Great Britain, which is similar to net operating losses in the United States of approximately $2.7 million. The losses in Great Britain can be carried forward indefinitely, to offset future taxable income. Deferred tax assets would arise from the recognition of anticipated utilization of these net operating losses to offset future taxable income.

 

In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which the net operating losses and temporary differences become deductible. Management considered projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. The value of the deferred tax assets was offset by a valuation allowance, due to the current uncertainty of the future realization of the deferred tax assets in Great Britain.

 

At June 30, 2018, the Company has income in Romania from the acquisition of Dueenne, which is similar to income in the United States of approximately $7,000. The Company has accrued taxes relative to this income in the amount of $1,746.

 

Income tax expense was $990 and $1,746 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and $0 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017.

 

There was no change in unrecognized tax benefits during the period ended June 30, 2018 and there was no accrual for uncertain tax positions as of June 30, 2018.

 

Tax years from 2014 through 2017 remain subject to examination by the various taxing authorities.

The business combination was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations.

They also may not be useful in predicting the future financial condition and results of operations of the combined company. The actual financial position and results of operations may differ significantly from the pro forma amounts reflected herein due to a variety of factors.

 

The combined condensed pro forma statement of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 does not reflect the realization of any expected cost savings or other synergies from the acquisition of Dueenne as a result of restructuring activities and other planned cost savings initiatives following the completion of the business combination.
