(OTC: TLIF) ("TLIF" or the "Company") announced
today that the Company recently acquired Be Climbing Inc.

The indoor rock
climbing industry is exploding with growth after the sport made its
first debut in the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games, which took place in
2021 due to the pandemic. Rock Climbing has now officially
been added as an Olympic sport and will be part of the program in
both the upcoming Paris 2024 and Los Angeles 2028 Olympic
Games.

By way of
comparison, Top
Golf launched its first location by tracking golf
balls and grew to become an international sports entertainment
company. Be Climbing with development of its first location
is focused on drawing inspiration from the Top Golf business model
with a focus on the family oriented fun and family-focused
activities centered around the indoor rock climbing sport and
entertainment industry.
Top Golf was
acquired in 2021 for $2.6 billion by Callaway which has rebranded
the company under the name Topgolf Callaway Brands
Corp. (NYSE: MODG). In much the same way that
Callaway's strategy is to make golf accessible to a broader
population that might otherwise not have the time, money, or access
to traditional golf; Be Climbing seeks to make the sport of rock
climbing accessible to a broader audience with indoor rock climbing
facilities. The sport of outdoor rock climbing became very famous
to a broader audience in recent years with the release of such
movies as Free
Solo, The Dawn
Wall and Meru.
Be Climbing is well
underway in the development process of the highly desirable 7 acre
Apopka, FL location, having acquired the property in March
2022. The Company presently is in the site plan review and
approval process with the required city and county governmental
agencies. The Company's Apopka, FL
project was recently featured Central Florida's Growth
Spotter publication.
Stephen Carnes,
President and CEO of TLIF, stated, "I am very pleased with today's
announcement and to bring Be Climbing Inc. public through TOCCA
Life's acquisition. I launched Be Climbing Inc. as a private
company in 2021 in order to lay the groundwork and get much of the
long drawn out processes in place and completed prior to bringing
the company public. The months ahead will be very exciting,
and I am happy to now have Be Climbing public through TLIF."
Carnes continued,
"Be Climbing has already raised nearly $3 million in private
transactions and owns outright the 7 acre property in Apopka.
The Company additionally owns, free and clear without mortgage, two
locally located income producing rental properties, so the Company
has both revenues and assets. We will be seeking to
have the Shell Status designation removed given today's
announcement of the Be Climbing acquisition. I look
forward to providing additional details about Be Climbing in the
near future."
