Item 1A. Risk Factors.

An investment in our common stock involves a number of very significant risks. You should carefully consider the following risks and uncertainties in addition to other information in this report in evaluating our company before purchasing our securities. Our operating results and financial condition could be seriously harmed as a result of the occurrence of any of the following risks. You could lose all or part of your investment due to any of these risks.

Risks Related to Our Business

The sale of fabric is a new operation of ours with a limited operating history and history of business, revenue generation or production history.

We have never been engaged in the sale of fabric. There could be limited value to the current portfolio of technologies and raise significant doubt about our commercial viability. Our future operations are dependent upon many factors, including the ability to create sales from its current portfolio of technology.

Operating results may fluctuate depending on a number of factors which may cause the value of our shares to decrease significantly.

Operating results may fluctuate as a result of a number of factors, many of which will be outside of our control. As a result of these fluctuations, financial planning and forecasting may be more difficult and comparisons of operating results on a period-to-period basis may not necessarily be meaningful. Our business can be seasonal in nature, reflecting overall economic conditions as well as client budgeting and buying patterns in the textile and technical apparel industries. This may result in the fluctuation of operating results. Further, the cyclicality and seasonality of our business could become more pronounced and may cause operating results to fluctuate more widely.

Additional funds for our planned operations will be required.

We will need substantial funding for our planned operations. No assurances can be given that we will be able to raise the additional funding that will be required for such activities. To meet such funding requirements, we will be required to undertake additional equity financing, which would be dilutive to shareholders. Debt financing, if available, may also involve restrictions on financing and operating activities. There is no assurance that additional financing will be available on terms acceptable to us or at all. If we are unable to obtain additional financing as needed, we will be required to reduce the scope of our operations.

Third-party technology licenses may not continue to be available to us in the future.

We will rely on certain technology that we license from GTBC. These third-party technology licenses may not in the future be available to us on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. The loss of any of these technology licenses could result in delays in performance of work until our company identifies, licenses and integrates equivalent technology, and it may not be able to identify, license or integrate any such equivalent technology in a timely manner or at all. Any resulting delays in performance could damage our reputation, which could materially adversely affect our business, operating results or financial condition.

Others may assert intellectual property infringement claims against us.

Infringement or misappropriation claims (or claims for indemnification resulting from such claims) against us may be asserted or prosecuted, regardless of their merit, and any such assertions or prosecutions may adversely affect our business and/or operating results. Irrespective of the validity or the successful assertion of such claims, we would incur significant costs and diversion of resources relating to the defense of such claims, which could have an adverse effect on our business, operating results or both.

If any claims or actions are asserted against us, we may seek to obtain a license of a third-party’s intellectual property rights; however, under such circumstances such a license may not be available on reasonable terms or at all. Any such litigation could result in a material adverse effect on the business, prospects, and financial results of our company.

Adverse economic conditions may have an adverse effect on the business and financial results of our company.

Textiles and garments may be considered discretionary items for consumers. Factors affecting the level of consumer spending for such discretionary items include general economic conditions, particularly those in Canada and the United States, and other factors such as consumer confidence in future economic conditions, fears of recession, the availability of consumer credit, level of unemployment, tax rates and the cost of consumer credit. As global economic conditions continue to be volatile or economic uncertainty remains, trends in consumer discretionary spending also remain unpredictable. The current volatility in the United States economy in particular has resulted in an overall slowing in growth in the retail sector because of decreased consumer spending, which may remain depressed for the foreseeable future. These unfavorable economic conditions may lead consumers to delay or reduce purchase of fabric products and therefore have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.

Unpredictability of demand could negatively influence our product offerings, plans operations and strategies.

Our success depends on our ability to identify and originate product trends as well as to anticipate and react to changing consumer demands in a timely manner. All of our future products are subject to changing consumer preferences that cannot be predicted with certainty. If we are unable to introduce new products or novel technologies in a timely manner or our new products or technologies are not accepted by our customers, our competitors may introduce similar products in a timelier fashion, which could hurt our goal to be viewed as a leader in performance fabric innovation. Our new products may not receive consumer acceptance as consumer preferences could shift rapidly to different types of performance fabrics or away from these types of products altogether, and our future success depends in part on our ability to anticipate and respond to these changes. Failure to anticipate and respond in a timely manner to changing consumer preferences could lead to, among other things, lower sales and excess inventory levels. Even if we are successful in anticipating consumer preferences, our failure to effectively introduce new products that are accepted by consumers could result in a decrease in net revenue and excess inventory levels, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.

A growing competitive market in technologically advanced textiles could affect our ability to gain market share.

The market for performance textiles is highly competitive. It includes increasing competition from established companies who are expanding their production and marketing of performance products, as well as from frequent new entrants to the market. There can be no assurance that other companies with greater financial and technological resources will not develop similar scientifically advance fabric technologies similar to our company’s or with greater perceived benefits which would affect our ability to compete successfully against existing competitors or future entrants into the market.

Raw materials required in the manufacture of products may be susceptible availability and pricing and quality fluctuations and may adversely affect our financial results.

Our business will rely on externally sourced raw materials in our manufacturing operations, and will business with a broad range of suppliers to ensure steady supplies of high-quality raw materials at competitive prices. Many of the parts or materials used in manufacturing of our textiles are anticipated to be made from oil. If the price of crude oil rises, the purchase price of such parts or materials may increase as well. Further, unanticipated contingencies among these suppliers or if parts and materials procured by these suppliers suffer from quality problems or are in short supply, we may be forced to discontinue production. Such events, if occurred, may adversely affect our financial position and results of operations.

Brand leaders are slow to adopt new technologies and the long business development cycle could delay the return on investment of resources required to develop our business.

Textile innovation for customized product development is a collaborative effort between suppliers, our company and the customer. All play a key role to ensure the functionality and performance of the products are developed to meet the customer’s specific technical textile requirements. Technological advances in textiles are slow to be adopted by large multinational companies and approvals must be had at many stages of the buying process. As a result, the extended business development cycle and delayed of return on investment may have an adverse effect our financial condition.

We have limited resources for marketing of our products and we may not be able to attract sufficient paying customers to make our business sustainable.

We have limited resources for marketing of our products. Our future sales will depend in large part on our ability to attract sufficient paying customers to make our business profitable and sustainable. Also, we may not be able to attract and retain personnel or be able to build an efficient and effective marketing force, which could negatively impact sales of our products, and reduce our revenues and profitability.

Our ability to implement our business and marketing strategy.

The implementation of our business and marketing strategy will depend on a number of factors. These include our ability to (i) find and hire reliable and sufficiently skilled third-party marketing personnel, (ii) make our products known and establish a trusted brand to our potential end user customers, (iii) establish a significant paying customer base, (iv) obtain adequate financing on favorable terms in order to fund our business, (v) maintain appropriate procedures, policies and systems; (vi) hire, train and retain skilled employees, and (vii) operate successfully and profitably within an environment of increasing competition. Our inability to manage any or all of these factors could impair our ability to implement our business strategy successfully, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and the results of our operations.

Our operating results may prove unpredictable.

Our operating results are likely to fluctuate significantly in the future due to a variety of factors, many of which we have no control over. Factors that may cause our operating results to fluctuate significantly include: the level of commercial acceptance by the public of our products; fluctuations in the demand for our products; the amount and timing of operating costs and capital expenditures relating to the operation of and/or expansion of our business, operations, infrastructure and general economic conditions. If realized, any of these risks could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and the results of operations.

The current state of capital markets, particularly for small companies, is expected to reduce our ability to obtain the financing necessary to continue our business. If we cannot raise the funds that we need to continue acquisitions and fund future business opportunities, we will go out of business and investors will lose their entire investment in our company.

Like other smaller companies, we face difficulties in raising capital for our continued operations and to consummate a business opportunity with a viable business. We may not be able to raise money through the sale of our equity securities or through borrowing funds on terms we find acceptable.

Because Devon Loosdrecht controls a large percentage of our voting stock, he has the ability to influence matters affecting our stockholders.

Devon Loosdrecht, our CEO, president, chief financial officer, treasurer and sole director, owns over 46% of our common stock and controls a majority of the votes attached to our outstanding voting securities. As a result, he has the ability to influence matters affecting our stockholders, including the election of directors, the acquisition of assets, and the issuance of securities. Because he controls a majority of votes, it would be very difficult for investors to replace our management if they disagree with the way our business is being operated. Because the influence by Mr. Loosdrecht could result in management making decisions that are in the best interest of Mr. Loosdrecht and not in the best interest of the investors, you may lose some or all of the value of your investment in our common stock.

Our Articles of Incorporation exculpate our officers and directors from certain liability to our company or our stockholders.

Our Articles of Incorporation contain a provision limiting the liability of our officers and directors for their acts or failures to act, except for acts involving intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law. This limitation on liability may reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against our officers and directors and may discourage or deter our stockholders from suing our officers and directors based upon breaches of their duties to our company.

Risks Associated with our Common Stock

Our stock price may be volatile, which may result in losses to our shareholders.

The stock markets have experienced significant price and trading volume fluctuations, and the market prices of companies listed on the OTC Markets quotation system in which shares of our common stock are traded, have been volatile in the past and have experienced sharp share price and trading volume changes. The trading price of our common stock is likely to be volatile and could fluctuate widely in response to many factors, including the following, some of which are beyond our control:

Domestic and international stock markets often experience significant price and volume fluctuations. These fluctuations, as well as general economic and political conditions unrelated to our performance, may adversely affect the price of our common stock.

Our common shares may become thinly traded and you may be unable to sell at or near ask prices, or at all.

We cannot predict the extent to which an active public market for trading our common stock will be sustained. Although the trading price of our common shares increased significantly recently, it has historically been sporadically or “thinly-traded” meaning that the number of persons interested in purchasing our common shares at or near bid prices at certain given time may be relatively small or non-existent.

This situation is attributable to a number of factors, including the fact that we are a small company which is relatively unknown to stock analysts, stock brokers, institutional investors and others in the investment community who generate or influence sales volume. Even if we came to the attention of such persons, those persons tend to be risk-averse and may be reluctant to follow, purchase, or recommend the purchase of shares of an unproven company such as ours until such time as we become more seasoned and viable. As a consequence, there may be periods of several days or more when trading activity in our shares is minimal or non-existent, as compared to a seasoned issuer which has a large and steady volume of trading activity that will generally support continuous sales without an adverse effect on share price. We cannot give you any assurance that a broader or more active public trading market for our common stock will develop or be sustained, or that current trading levels will be sustained.

The market price for our common stock is particularly volatile given our status as a relatively small company, which could lead to wide fluctuations in our share price. You may be unable to sell your common stock at or above your purchase price if at all, which may result in substantial losses to you.

Shareholders should be aware that, according to SEC Release No. 34-29093, the market for penny stocks has suffered in recent years from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include (1) control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer; (2) manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases; (3) boiler room practices involving high-pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons; (4) excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differential and markups by selling broker-dealers; and (5) the wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the resulting inevitable collapse of those prices and with consequent investor losses. Our management is aware of the abuses that have occurred historically in the penny stock market. Although we do not expect to be in a position to dictate the behavior of the market or of broker-dealers who participate in the market, management will strive within the confines of practical limitations to prevent the described patterns from being established with respect to our securities. The occurrence of these patterns or practices could increase the volatility of our share price.

Because we can issue additional shares of common stock, our stockholders may experience dilution in the future.

We are authorized to issue up to 1,125,000,000 shares of common stock, of which 35,690,434 shares of common stock were issued and outstanding as of July 31, 2017. As of July 31, 2017, we have 2,095,217 warrants outstanding which could further dilution in the future if exercised. Our board of directors has the authority to cause us to issue additional shares of common stock without consent of our stockholders. Consequently, stockholders may experience dilution in their ownership of our stock in the future. As of September 14, 2017, there were 35,690,434 common shares and 2,095,217 warrants outstanding.

There is currently no established public trading market for our common stock, which makes it difficult for our stockholders to resell their shares.

There is currently no established public trading market for our common stock. There is a limited public market for our common stock through its quotation on the OTCPink quotation system operated by the OTC Markets Group. Trading in stocks quoted on the OTCPink is often thin and is characterized by wide fluctuations in trading prices due to many factors that may be unrelated or have little to do with a company's operations or business prospects. Moreover, the OTCPink is not a stock exchange, and trading of securities on the OTCPink is often more sporadic than the trading of securities listed on a national securities exchange like the NASDAQ or the NYSE. Accordingly, stockholders may have difficulty reselling any of our shares. We cannot assure you that there will be a market for our common stock in the future.

We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends to our common shareholders.

We presently do not anticipate that we will pay dividends on any of our common stock in the foreseeable future. If payment of dividends does occur at some point in the future, it would be contingent upon our revenues and earnings, if any, capital requirements, and general financial condition. The payment of any common stock dividends will be within the discretion of our board of directors. We presently intend to retain all earnings after paying the interest for the preferred stock, if any, to implement our business plan; accordingly, we do not anticipate the declaration of any dividends for common stock in the foreseeable future.

Volatility in our common share price may subject us to securities litigation.

The market for our common stock is characterized by significant price volatility as compared to seasoned issuers, and we expect that our share price will continue to be more volatile than a seasoned issuer for the indefinite future. In the past, plaintiffs have often initiated securities class action litigation against a company following periods of volatility in the market price of its securities. We may, in the future, be the target of similar litigation. Securities litigation could result in substantial costs and liabilities and could divert management’s attention and resources.

The elimination of monetary liability against our directors, officers and employees under Nevada law and the existence of indemnification rights of our directors, officers and employees may result in substantial expenditures by our company and may discourage lawsuits against our directors, officers and employees.

Our Articles of Incorporation contain a specific provision that eliminates the liability of our directors and officers for monetary damages to our company and shareholders. Further, we are prepared to give such indemnification to our directors and officers to the extent provided for by Nevada law. The foregoing indemnification obligations could result in our company incurring substantial expenditures to cover the cost of settlement or damage awards against directors and officers, which we may be unable to recoup. These provisions and resultant costs may also discourage our company from bringing a lawsuit against directors and officers for breaches of their fiduciary duties, and may similarly discourage the filing of derivative litigation by our shareholders against our directors and officers even though such actions, if successful, might otherwise benefit our company and shareholders.

Our business is subject to changing regulations related to corporate governance and public disclosure that have increased both our costs and the risk of noncompliance.

Because our common stock is publicly traded, we are subject to certain rules and regulations of federal, state and financial market exchange entities charged with the protection of investors and the oversight of companies whose securities are publicly traded. These entities, including the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the SEC and FINRA, have issued requirements and regulations and continue to develop additional regulations and requirements in response to corporate scandals and laws enacted by Congress, most notably the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Our efforts to comply with these regulations have resulted in, and are likely to continue resulting in, increased general and administrative expenses and diversion of management time and attention from revenue-generating activities to compliance activities. Because new and modified laws, regulations and standards are subject to varying interpretations in many cases due to their lack of specificity, their application in practice may evolve over time as new guidance is provided by regulatory and governing bodies. This evolution may result in continuing uncertainty regarding compliance matters and additional costs necessitated by ongoing revisions to our disclosure and governance practices.
