3.GENERAL DEVELOPMENT OF THE BUSINESS

 

3.1During fiscal 2013 and 2014 the Company’s principal activities consisted of exploration, development and production of petroleum and natural gas properties.

 

Through the Company’s wholly owned Alberta subsidiary, the Company held a 5.1975% working interest producing property located in the Botha area in the Province of Alberta, Canada which was carried on the consolidated statement of financial position at Nil. During fiscal 2013, the Company recorded an impairment loss for the full carrying amount of its Botha, Alberta Property in the amount of $168,954.

 

The Company’s exploration and evaluation assets were located in Zavala County, Texas, USA. The Company through its US wholly owned subsidiaries held an interest in 2 mineral leases, the 2,629 acre Matthews Lease and the Murphy Lease comprising approximately 2,637 acres.

 

During fiscal 2013, the Company record an impairment of $2,690,568 on its Murphy Lease based on the amount for which management believed the assets could be sold or farmed out in an arms’ length transaction, less estimated costs to sell, and during fiscal 2014 the Company wrote down the Murphy Lease to Nil and recorded a further impairment of $1,675,749.

During fiscal 2013, the Company was litigating a dispute with the Lessors of the Matthew’s property. During the last quarter of fiscal year August 2013, the Company and the Lessors agreed to resolve the litigation and continue with the development of the Matthew’s property through the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary Eagleford Energy Zavala Inc. (“Zavala Inc.”). During fiscal 2014 the Company had entered into a Joint Development Agreement with Stratex Oil and Gas Holdings, Inc. (“Stratex”) (the “Stratex JDA”) to further develop the Matthews Lease. Under the terms of the Stratex JDA, Stratex acted as operator and upon Stratex delivering i) US$150,000 to the lessors of the Matthews Lease on behalf of Zavala Inc., ii) delivering US $150,000 to the Company; and iii) commencing a hydraulic fracture of the Matthews #1H not later than March 31, 2014, Stratex earned a 66.67% working interest before payout (50% working interest after payout) in the Matthews #1H well and a 50% working interest in the 2,629 acre Matthews Lease.

 

During fiscal 2014, the Company entered into a further Joint Development Agreement (“JDA2”) with Stratex and Quadrant Resources LLC, (“Quadrant”) for the development of the San Miguel formation on the Matthews Lease.  Pursuant to the terms of the JDA2, upon satisfaction of certain conditions including the Phase 1 Work Program and the cash consideration described below, Quadrant could earn an undivided 66.67% before payout and a 50% working interest after payout to the base of the San Miguel formation of the Matthews Lease by i) drilling 3 new wells and reworking 5 wells at its sole cost and expense by June 30, 2015 (the “Phase I Work Program”); ii) deliver US$100,000 to the Company upon execution of the JDA2 (paid); and iii) deliver US$65,000 to the Company on each of July 8, 2014, October 6, 2014, January 5, 2015 and April 6, 2015. The Company recorded the cash payments and the payment of certain obligations under the Matthews Lease by Quadrant totaling US$303,712 (CDN$378,577) as a reduction in exploration and evaluation assets. Under the terms of the JDA2 Quadrant was required to complete the Phase I Work Program and pay the Company cash consideration totaling US$360,000 by June 30, 2015, which it did not and accordingly the JDA2 expired without Quadrant earning any interest in the development area.

 

Effective March 31, 2015, the Company entered into a settlement with Stratex and Quadrant pursuant to which Stratex assigned all of its rights, title and interest in, to and under the Matthews Lease and the JDA, to us and Quadrant, and issued to us 1,333,333 common shares of Stratex as repayment of the disputed minimum royalty of US$152,293 and a further payment of US$25,000 was to be paid to us under the settlement agreement. On May 12, 2015 we incorporated EEZ Operating Inc., in the state of Texas and took over as the operator of the Matthews Lease.

 

On July 2, 2015, the 2629 acre Matthews Lease transitioned into its production unit phase. A total of 340 acres were held as production units and the Company wrote down the lease to fair value of $1,212,996 and recorded an impairment of exploration and evaluation assets at August 31, 2015 of $4,490,045.

 

At August 31, 2014, the Company had a secured convertible promissory note payable with a face value of (US$1,216,175) (the “Note”). The Note had an interest rate of 10%. The Note was due on the earliest to occur of: (a) August 31, 2015; (b) the closing of any subsequent financing or series of financings by the Company that results in gross proceeds of an aggregate amount equal to or greater than US$4,400,000, excluding conversion of any existing debt into equity; (c) the date of a sale by the Company of all of the shares in the capital stock of Zavala Inc. held by the Company from time to time; (d) the closing of a merger, reorganization, take-over or other business combination which results in a change of control of the Company or Zavala Inc.; or (e) an event of default.

 

In accordance with the terms of the Note and the General Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreements”) between the Company and Benchmark Enterprises Inc., (“Benchmark”) the Company had granted and conveyed a first priority security interest in the Company and Zavala Inc. Benchmark is a shareholder of the Company.

 

At August 31, 2015, the Company was unable to pay the Note $1,608,149 US$1,216,175 plus interest of $154,179 (US$121,618), totaling $1,762,328 (US$1,337,793), which constituted an event of default pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreements. Benchmark having made demand for payment of all amounts owed to it under the Note, gave notice to the Company that it intended to exercise its security on the Company’s assets.

 

In an effort to avoid further costs, the Company and Benchmark entered into a Settlement and Exercise of Security Agreement whereby effective August 31, 2015, the Company assigned and conveyed to Benchmark all of its rights, title and interest in and to Zavala Inc., and issued to Benchmark 10,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company. As a result of the extinguishment of the Note, the Company’s investment in Zavala Inc. has been deconsolidated from the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements as at August 31, 2015 and presented as discontinued operations.

 

Subsequent to fiscal 2015, the Company issued a total of 95,431,100 common shares in the capital of the Company at a price of US$0.01 per share upon the conversion of debt in the aggregate amount of $1,274,291.

The Company entered into an asset purchase agreement pursuant to which effective February 29, 2016, the Company acquired the net assets of Digital Widget Factory Inc., (the “Acquired Assets”) a Belize company (the “Vendor”), in an all-stock transaction by issuing 12,500,000 million common shares and 5,750,000 Series A preferred shares of ICE to the Vendor (the “Acquisition Agreement”). The Series A preferred shares are convertible into units of ICE with each unit comprised of 1 common share and 1 common share purchase warrant entitling the holder to acquire an additional common share of ICE for $0.35 for up to 3 years (the common shares and the preference shares are hereafter referred to as the “Purchase Price Shares”). All of the Purchase Price Shares are subject to the provisions of an Escrow Agreement and a Lock-up and Leak-out Agreement.

 

The essential component of the Acquired Assets is a proprietary intelligent content platform ( the “Technology”) developed by Digital Widget Factory Inc. and evidenced by an expanding portfolio of websites under the primary URL www.digiwidgy.com. A third party licence facilitates multi-language conversion of the content in the websites created by the Technology (the “DWF Technology”). The Company did not assume any of the liabilities of the Vendor in the transaction. The DWF Technology is comprised of a cloud based, global proprietary online content creation, management and advertising platform that powers online user and engagement programs globally in over 50 languages in real-time to desktop, mobile and portable devices. The DWF Technology delivers engagement in language of choice, determined by the user’s system and location based opportunities determined by the user’s location, creating potentially increased interaction and revenue opportunities over conventional single language programs.  The Technology also provides increase economies of scale in the “production” of content, as it localizes the user experience on a technical, rather than a human process, increasing cost efficiencies and increasing speed to global markets.

 

The Company’s business model is to create, source and secure commercial content, internally and externally and obtain commercial partner content programs, which would utilize the DWF Technology to funnel such content to the market place. The Company’s revenue strategy is Content driven.

 

50% of the Purchase Price Shares (6,250,000 common shares and 2,875,000 Series A preferred shares are held in escrow as security until the earlier of (1) satisfaction by ICE of the Vendors indemnity obligations under of the Acquisition Agreement; (2) an order of a court of competent jurisdiction; or (3) termination date of Escrow Agreement on March 6, 2017 (the “Escrow Agreement”).

 

The Vendor may not offer, sell, contract to sell, grant any option to purchase, hypothecate, pledge or otherwise dispose of or transfer title to any of the Purchase Price Shares during the period commencing on the March 4, 2016 and ending on December 4, 2016 (the “Lockup Period”). During the 12 month period following the Lockup Period, the Vendor shall be permitted to make sales of up to 25% of the Purchase Price Shares in each successive three month period. If the Vendors sales are less than 25% in any such three month period, the unsold portion shall carry forward into the next three month period (the “Lock-up and Leak-out Agreement”).

 

The fair value of the transaction was estimated at approximately $9,530,250 and paid through the issuance by the Company of the Purchase Price Shares. In arriving at the estimated fair value of the Purchase Price Shares on the effective date of the acquisition, the Company discounted the market value of the Purchase Price Shares after factoring in certain provisions and conditions of the Lock-up and Leak-out Agreement, the Escrow Agreement, Rule 144 restrictions of the Securities Act of 1933 and the associated liquidity risk. The purchase price allocation to the fair value of the assets acquired as at February 29, 2016 was as follows:

 

Consideration:     
Fair Value of Issuance of 12,500,000 common shares  $5,071,125 
Fair Value of Issuance of 5,750,000 Series A Preferred Shares   4,459,125 
Total consideration  $9,530,250 
Allocated to:     
Intangible assets-technology  $9,530,250 
Transaction Costs:     
Financial advisory, legal and other expenses*  $30,550 
*Transaction costs were recorded as a reduction in share capital     

 

3.2Not applicable. No financial statements are required under National Instrument 41-101 General Prospectus Requirements.

 

3.3The Company’s operating results are subject to seasonal fluctuations that can significantly impact quarter-to-quarter operating results.

Consequently, the Company’s results may fluctuate materially from period-to-period and the results of any one period are not necessarily indicative of results for future periods.

4.NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS

 

4.1ICE is an emerging media and Internet company with a focus on user experience and engagement, creating brands, products and destinations globally, regionally and by language that are value driven providing an informative, interactive, entertaining and engaging look at content. The information provided herein is as of September 30, 2016, unless otherwise noted.

 

ICE’s first acquisition, DWF (www.digiwidgy.com) provides the baseline infrastructure and technology platform now empowering various forms of content and media to be disseminated globally efficiently and effectively, generating economies of scale for distribution in over 50 languages, allowing users to create and participate in the content process and consumption.

 

Through its proprietary intelligent content technology, ICE’s DWF platform evaluates user engagement and site follow through and based on those assessments recommends which content channels achieve the popularity standards of a stand-alone DWF site and then recommends their launch to the expanding portfolio of DWF websites and can “push” content, including video throughout the portfolio.

 

The DWF platform is an intangible Technology Asset that has a finite useful life and will be amortized by the Company using the straight-line basis over a 5 year period.

 

ICE’s 4 pillar strategy drives revenue through technologies, platforms and services that deliver Content, Social and Digital Media, eCommerce and Advertising and Marketing programs.

 

The Company’s strategy following completion of the DWF platform is to utilize the technology and through the development of commercial operations which may include potential additional future acquisitions by the Company, funnel the Company’s future business activities through the technology.

 

The Company has estimated its consolidated working capital at August 31, 2016, to be approximately $292,503, comprised of cash of $449,983, trade and other receivables of $14,800, prepaid expenses and deposits of $2,517,513 less trade and other payables of $357,553 and derivative liabilities of $2,332,241. 

 

Over the next 12 months the Company anticipates additional development steps to reach full operational stage including:

 

Future acquisitions and 3rd party partnerships – the Company is currently in negotiations with third parties to acquire or otherwise provide commercial external content and commercial partner programs which would utilize DWF. It is the procurement or creation of “commercial content” that will distinguish the business of ICE, utilizing the delivery mechanism represented by the Technology Assets acquired in the DWF transaction.

Intelligent Content Enterprises Inc, (the “Company”) has one (1) operating segment that focuses on Content Distribution, Creation, Management, Advertising services and Technologies.

 

Within the operating segment, there are two (2) business units, namely Digital Widget Factory Inc. and ICE Studio Productions Inc. Both entities are Ontario Corporations with their operational offices at the Facility at 251 Consumer Road, Suite 240, Toronto, Ontario.

 

As stated earlier, Digital Widget Factory’s business model is to create, source and secure commercial content, internally and externally through commercial partner content programs, which would utilize the DWF Technology to funnel such content to the market place. The Company’s revenue strategy is Content driven.

 

ICE Studio Productions’ primary business model is to effect the creation of original short, mid and long form content for online, mobile and television and to partner with producers of content to enhance the value of that content by adding DWF Technology and distribution via Catch Star Studios LLC. ICE Studio Production’s secondary business model is to work with brands to develop interactive online and mobile video which enables users to “click” on video and launch various activities (web sites, social media, eCommerce, contests, promotions, etc.) directly from a video. An interactive “icon” tracks items in videos as it moves.

 

  9

 

The Company, since its acquisition of the DWF Technologies and its business program has been actively engaged in building its content library, establishing content and advertising relationships and working with organizations like the YES Network to create new and original content for distribution. The Company has also been working with its proposed acquisition partner, Catch Star Studios, LLC to finalize the business programs for its Clix.Video offerings and discussing those programs with market brands for revenue participation.

 

Digital Widget Factory Inc.

The business unit’s primary web and mobile site offering, www.digiwidgy.com, provides updated daily content on a variety of news and entertainment based subjects (like celebrities, food, travel, etc.) to users around the world, instantly available in their native language. The system deploys technologies that allow internal staff and 3rd parties to publish content once and have it automatically available in the user’s language as requested by the browser. The primary objective of the site is to deliver daily, content on an ever increasing number of topics / subject matter and this is done through the building of a URL subject matter library that is constantly expanded.

 

Upon acquisition, effective February 29, 2016, the number of URLs for the website was 350 and the Alexa Ranking (www.alexa.com) was approximately 88,700. The Alexa Ranking (owned by Amazon) is a globally recognized indicator of web site position according to certain visits and user metrics, with organizations like Facebook, Google and Youtube receiving Alexa’s top 3 ranking positions and other sites ranked in accordance with their user activities. The lower the Alexa ranking number the more heavily visited the site and utilized in assessing the website value, linking with partners and presentations to advertisers. Through the period, ending July 31, 2016, DWF increased its total URLs to approximately 560 and its Alexa ranking progressed to approximately 20,400, an advancement of 68,300 rankings on a global scale in just 5 months under the stewardship and development activities of the Company. The Company has also applied advertising and other revenue testing in order to plan and execute its Fiscal 2017 objectives.

 

The internal operational objectives for Fiscal 2017 are to increase traffic to and use of Company websites, create and curate engaging content and drive revenues. The total number of URLs (or subject matter areas), is expected to grow from its current number of 560 at the end of July to 625 by the end of November and to 825 by the end of Fiscal 2017, being August 31, 2017. URLs are enabled through the analysis of user activities at DWF sites as content is “tagged” with various indicators to measure and monitor various “layers” of relevance and by general global subject matter relevance (global activities i.e. Summer Olympics). The URLs form the basis for an ever expanding array of subject matter “containers” which to place content in, attract users and serve them content and in return work with advertisers and other revenue partners to create value for the Company through the interactivity with that content in the URLs.

 

Creating original content is the secondary business objective feeding the URLs created. Users are attracted to new, engaging and relevant content based on subject matter with a measure of site dynamics indicated by the number of originally created articles or posts per quarter. To this end the company will employ or otherwise contract, original content creators beginning with 2 to 3 creators in Q1 and growing in the context of the market through the fiscal year. These content creators will also support curated and augmented posts, where content is available through relationships and partnerships globally but that requires acceptance, formatting and approval by the DWF system. The creators will initially support both roles. Curated and Augmented content is already somewhat or wholly ready for entry into the DWF system (allowing for subsequent translation) and is easier to maintain, having originality although somewhat less value, and as such offers a higher number of posts per quarter, beginning with an estimated 1,890 posts in Q1 and rising to 9,450 posts in Q4.

 

The overall URL and content creations and management activities in conjunction with organic, social, partner, and paid marketing activities, on a global basis, has begun with the groundwork laid to attract potential advertising and revenue partners. The Company will begin to accelerate such actions during the 1st quarter of fiscal 2017, to effect growing the business through its revenue generating activities throughout the 2017 Fiscal Year.

 

ICE Studio Productions Inc.

The business unit of ICE Studio Productions Inc. (“ICE Productions”) is made up of three (3) cohesive business activities under the Catch Star Studios brand, being the creation of original short, mid length and long form content (from short video to original broadcast series), other partnered, edited original content and technology and marketing services that provide interactive services to video advertising and online and mobile broadcasting.

 

The first original series to be produced for television, digital and mobile distribution is a partnered program with the YES Network and the New York Yankees, called Stars and PinStripes, which features interviews of some of today’s most iconic celebrities that share their appreciation and connection to the New York Yankees, life and professional experiences to the audience. The business objective of this program is to establish the Catch Star Studios, ICE Productions and the Company brands as an emerging leader in the creation of original content for primarily digital distribution with brands that have significant fan followings, like the New York Yankees, which are considered among the top 3 sports franchises globally, according to Forbes. As part of that objective, the group is expecting to produce up to 12 episodes per year of the initial Stars and PinStripes programming.

 

  10

 

 

The first episode of Stars and Pinstripes featured Garth Brooks, Recording Industry Association of America certified number one selling solo artist in US history, with over 137 million albums sold and premiered on the Yes Network during the 3rd week of August 17, 2016. The Company is currently engaged in early stage discussions, to attract a series sponsor and/ or sponsors for this business program. The Company is embarking on an investment in this area to effectively leverage this major brand activity to attract other similar brands moving forward.

 

As Stars and PinStripes airs on the YES Network (owned by the New York Yankees and FOX), ICE Productions and Catch Star Studios are working towards similar opportunities with other major league teams and niche entertainment sectors to assess and potentially create content under certain business arrangements. The proposed model is very similar in nature to Stars and PinStripes with the exception that the primary investment to build the brand value has been initiated in the Stars and PinStripes programming and the group expects that it will not need to invest to the same extent with other organizations, given that Stars and PinStripes is produced in conjunction with its relationship with the YES Network and the New York Yankees, given their influence and credibility in the marketplace. Other such programs may attract production funding from the brand, sponsor or active 3rd parties.

 

The Clix.Video marketing and technology services platform is looking to continue with market testing throughout Q1 of Fiscal 2017 as the group looks to engage a senior leader within the advertising, sports and sponsorship arena who can assist with the acceleration of introductory meetings and sales to SME and big box brands as well as digital agencies. The group is working to engage up to 3 brands and / or agencies in Q1 and convert those brands to both test and paid campaigns throughout the quarter.

 

In addition to the expected operational performance, The Company has engaged with a 3rd Party to source and obtain subscribers in a series of private placements to provide up to $2.0 million of equity financing for the Company in minimum and maximum private placement tranches of $250,000 to $350,000 respectively priced in conjunction with but discounted to the 10 day volume weighted average trading price of the common shares of the Company on the OTC-QB through February 28, 2017. The agreement can be extended to August 2017 by mutual consent. The combined projected proceeds from the operational performance and the Company’s financing activities are expected to sustain the Company in Fiscal 2017.

August 31, 2015 – 2014

For the year ended August 31, 2015, revenue, net of royalties was down $11,969 to $53,055 compared to $65,024 for the year ended August 31, 2014. The decrease in net revenue for the year ended August 31, 2015 was a result of lower prices received for natural gas from the Company’s Botha, Alberta property. Net income from continuing operations for the year ended August 31, 2015 was $2,067,443 compared to a net loss from continuing operations of $6,114,977 for the year ended August 31, 2014. The increase in net income for fiscal 2015 was attributed to a gain on derivative liabilities of $2,653,591 compared to a loss of $2,735,476 for fiscal 2014, a gain on disposition of subsidiary of $615,881 compared to $Nil in 2014, and a gain on settlement of litigation of $120,125 versus $Nil for the same twelve month period ending August 30, 2014.

August 31, 2014 - 2013

For the year ended August 31, 2014, revenue, net of royalties was up $34,962 to $65,024 compared to $30,062 for the year ended August 31, 2013. The increase in net revenue during 2014, was primarily attributed to increases in natural gas production volume and prices received from the Company’s Botha, Alberta property. Net loss from continuing operations for the year ended August 31, 2014 was $6,114,977 compared to a net loss from continuing operations of $4,264,833 for the year ended August 31, 2013. The increase in net loss during 2014, was primarily related to a loss on derivative liabilities of $2,735,476 compared to a loss of $128,041 during fiscal 2013. This increase in 2014 was attributed to the exchange of a secured note for a secured convertible note during fiscal 2014, which terms and features of the conversion meet the definition of an embedded derivative liability that requires fair value measurement at each reporting period. During the year ended August 31, 2014, the Company recorded an increase in loss on settlement of debt in the amount of $933,671 to $1,335,935 compared to a loss on settlement of debt in the amount of $$402,264 during fiscal 2013.

The holders of the Common Shares shall be entitled to receive notice of and to attend all meetings of the shareholders of the Corporation and shall have one (1) vote for each Common Share held at all meetings of the shareholders of the Corporation, except for meetings at which only holders of another specified class or series of shares of the Corporation are entitled to vote separately as a class or series.

1. DIRECTORS’ AUTHORITY TO ISSUE ONE OR MORE SERIES

 

The board of directors of the Corporation may issue the Preference Shares at any time and from time to time in one or more series.

  15

 

 

2. RANKING OF PREFERENCE SHARES

 

2.1 No rights, privileges, restrictions or conditions attaching to a series of Preference Shares shall confer upon a series a priority in respect of dividends or return of capital in the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation over any other series of Preference Shares. The Preference Shares of each series rank on a parity with the Preference Shares of every other series with respect to priority in the payment of dividends and the return of capital and the distribution of assets of the Corporation in the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, or any other distribution of the assets of the Corporation among its shareholders for the purpose of winding-up its affairs.

 

2.2 The Preference Shares shall be entitled to priority over the Common Shares and over any other shares of any other class of the Corporation ranking junior to the Preference Shares with respect to priority in the payment of dividends and the return of capital and the distribution of assets in the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, or any other distribution of the assets of the Corporation among its shareholders for the purpose of winding-up its affairs.

 

2.3 If any amount of cumulative dividends, whether or not declared, or declared non-cumulative dividends or amount payable on a return of capital in the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation in respect of a series of Preference Shares is not paid in full, the Preference Shares of all series shall participate rateably in respect of all accumulated dividends, whether or not declared, and all declared non-cumulative dividends in accordance with the sums that would be payable on such shares if all such dividends were declared and paid in full, and in respect of amounts payable on return of capital in the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation in accordance with the sums that would be payable on such repayment of capital if all sums so payable were paid in full; provided, however, that in the event of there being insufficient assets to satisfy in full all such claims as aforesaid, the claims of the holders of the Preference Shares with respect to amounts payable on return of capital shall first be paid and satisfied and any assets remaining thereafter shall be applied towards the payment and satisfaction of claims in respect of dividends.

 

2.4 The Preference Shares of any series may also be given such other preferences not inconsistent with the provisions hereof over the Common Shares and over any other shares ranking junior to the Preference Shares as may be determined in the case of such series of Preference Shares.

 

3. RESTRICTIONS ON DIVIDENDS AND REDEMPTIONS, ETC.

 

Except with the approval of all the holders of the Preference Shares, no dividends shall at any time be declared or paid or set apart for payment on the Common Shares or any other shares of the Corporation ranking junior to the Preference Shares unless all dividends which have been declared by the board of directors up to and including the dividend payable for the last completed period for which such dividends have been declared by the board of directors on each series of Preference Shares then issued and outstanding shall have been paid or set apart for payment at the date of such declaration or payment or setting apart for payment on the Common Shares or such other shares of the Corporation ranking junior to the Preference Shares; nor shall the Corporation call for redemption, redeem, purchase for cancellation, acquire for value or reduce or otherwise pay off any of the Preference Shares (less than the total amount then outstanding) or any Common Shares or any other shares of the Corporation ranking junior to the Preference Shares unless and until all dividends up to and including the dividends payable for the last completed period for which such dividends have been declared by the board of directors on each series of Preference Shares then issued and outstanding shall have been paid or set apart for payment at the date of such call for redemption, purchase, acquisition, reduction or other payment.

 

  16

 

 

4. VOTING RIGHTS

 

Except as hereinafter referred to or as otherwise provided by law or in accordance with any voting rights which may from time to time be attached to any series of Preference Shares, the holders of the Preference Shares as a class shall not be entitled as such to receive notice of, to attend to vote at any meeting of the shareholders of the Corporation.

 

5. SPECIFIC MATTERS REQUIRING APPROVAL

 

5.1 The approval of the holders of the Preference Shares, given in the manner described in Section 6.1 below, shall be required for the creation of any new shares ranking prior to or on a parity with the Preference Shares, and if, but only so long as, any cumulative dividends are in arrears or any declared non-cumulative dividends are unpaid on any outstanding series of Preference Shares, for the issuance of any additional series of Preference Shares or of any shares ranking prior to or on a parity with the Preference Shares.

 

5.2 The provisions of Clauses 1 to 6 inclusive may be deleted, amended, modified or varied in whole or in part by a certificate of amendment issued by the Director appointed under the Business Corporations Act, but only with the prior approval of the holders of the Preference Shares given as hereinafter specified in addition to any other approval required by the Business Corporations Act or any other statutory provisions of like or similar effect, from time to time in force.

 

6. APPROVAL OF THE HOLDERS OF THE PREFERENCE SHARES

 

The approval of the holders of the Preference Shares with respect to any and all matters hereinbefore referred to may be given by at least two thirds of the votes cast at a meeting of the holders of the Preference Shares duly called for that purpose and held upon at least 21 days’ notice at which the holders of a majority of the outstanding Preference Shares are present or represented by proxy. If at any such meeting the holders of a majority of the outstanding Preference Shares are not present or represented by proxy within one half-hour after the time appointed for such meeting, then the meeting shall be adjourned to such date being not less than 30 days later and to such time and place as may be appointed by the chairman and not less than 21 days’ notice shall be given of such adjourned meeting. At such adjourned meeting the holders of the Preference Shares present or represented by proxy may transact the business for which the meeting was originally called and a resolution passed thereat by not less than two-thirds of the votes cast at such adjourned meeting shall constitute the approval of the holders of the Preference Shares referred to above.

  18

 

 

a)Mechanics of Conversion

 

i.              Delivery of Certificate Upon Conversion. Not later than five Trading Days after each Conversion Date, the Corporation shall deliver to the Holder (A) a certificate or certificates representing the number of shares of Common Shares being acquired upon the conversion of Series A Preference Shares, and (B) the corresponding number of warrants. If in the case of any Notice of Conversion such certificate or certificates are not delivered to or as directed by the applicable Holder by the fifth Trading Day after the Conversion Date, the Holder shall be entitled to elect by written notice to the Corporation at any time on or before its receipt of such certificate or certificates thereafter, to rescind such conversion, in which event the Corporation shall immediately return the certificates representing the Series A Preference Shares tendered for conversion.

 

ii.             Obligation Absolute. The Corporation’s obligations to issue and deliver the Conversion Shares upon conversion of Series A Preference Shares in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Corporation or any violation or alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Corporation to the Holder in connection with the issuance of such Conversion Shares.

 

iii.             Reservation of Shares Issuable Upon Conversion. The Corporation covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Shares solely for the purpose of issuance upon conversion of the Series A Preference Shares, free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of persons other than the Holders, not less than such number of shares of the Common Shares as shall be issuable (taking into account the adjustments and restrictions of herein) upon the conversion of all outstanding Series A Preference Shares. The Corporation covenants that all shares of Common Shares that shall be so issuable shall, upon issue, be duly and validly authorized, issued and fully paid and non-assessable.

 

iv.            Transfer Taxes. The issuance of certificates for shares of the Common Shares on conversion of the Series A Preference Shares shall be made without charge to the Holders thereof for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such certificate, provided that the Corporation shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such certificate upon conversion in a name other than that of the Holder of such Series A Preference Shares so converted and the Corporation shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificates unless or until the person or persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Corporation the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Corporation that such tax has been paid.

 

Section 5.Certain Adjustments.

 

a)             Stock Dividends and Stock Splits. If the Corporation, at any time while the Series A Preference Shares are outstanding: (A) shall pay a stock dividend or otherwise make a distribution or distributions on shares of its Common Shares or any other equity or equity equivalent securities payable in shares of Common Shares (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Shares issued by the Corporation pursuant to the terms of the Series A Preference Shares), (B) subdivide outstanding shares of Common Shares into a larger number of shares, or (C) issue by reclassification of shares of the Common Shares any shares of capital stock of the Corporation, then the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Shares (excluding treasury shares, if any) outstanding before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Shares outstanding after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.

 

To clarify, in the event the Corporation shall combine (including by way of reverse stock or forward stock split) outstanding shares of Common Shares into a smaller number of shares, the conversion price and the number of Series A Preference Shares shall be modified, reduced, or otherwise adjusted.

 

  19

 

 

b)             Pro Rata Distributions. If the Corporation, at any time while Series A Preference Shares is outstanding, shall distribute to all holders of Common Shares (and not to Holders) evidences of its indebtedness or assets or rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any security, then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be determined by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the record date fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction of which the denominator shall be the VWAP determined as of the record date mentioned above, and of which the numerator shall be such VWAP on such record date less the then fair market value at such record date of the portion of such assets or evidence of indebtedness so distributed applicable to one outstanding share of the Common Shares as determined by the Board of Directors in good faith. In either case the adjustments shall be described in a statement provided to the Holders of the portion of assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed or such subscription rights applicable to one share of Common Shares. Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective immediately after the record date mentioned above.

 

c)           Calculations. All calculations under this Section shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest whole share, as the case may be. The number of Common Shares outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Corporation, and the description of any such shares of Common Shares shall be considered on issue or sale of Common Shares. For purposes of this Section 6, the number of shares of Common Shares deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Shares issued and outstanding.

 

d)           Notice to Holders; Adjustment to Conversion Price. Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to any of this Section, the Corporation shall promptly mail to each Holder a notice setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

b)           Absolute Obligation. Except as expressly provided herein, no provisions of the Series A Preference Shares shall alter or impair the obligation of the Corporation, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the liquidated damages (if any) on, the Series A Preference Shares at the time, place, and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

 

c)            Lost or Mutilated Series A Preference Share Certificate. If a Holder’s Series A Preference Shares certificate shall be mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Corporation shall execute and deliver, in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation of a mutilated certificate, or in lieu of or in substitution for a lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, a new certificate for the Series A Preference Shares so mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed but only upon receipt of evidence of such loss, theft or destruction of such certificate, and of the ownership hereof, and indemnity, if requested, all reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation.

 

  20

 

 

d)            Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of the provisions of the Series A Preference Shares shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the Province of Ontario, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof. Each party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated herein (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, employees or agents) shall be commenced in the provincial and federal courts sitting in Ontario (the “Ontario Courts”). Each party hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Ontario Courts for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to the enforcement of any of the Transaction Documents), and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, or such Ontario Courts are improper or inconvenient venue for such proceeding. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under the provisions of the Series A Preference Shares and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to the provisions of the Series A Preference Shares or the transactions contemplated hereby. If either party shall commence an action or proceeding to enforce any provisions of the provisions of the Series A Preference Shares, then the prevailing party in such action or proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for its attorney’s fees and other costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such action or proceeding.

 

e)            Waiver. Any waiver by the Corporation or the Holder of a breach of the provisions of the Series A Preference Shares shall not operate as or be construed to be a waiver of any other breach of such provision or of any breach of any other provisions of the Series A Preference Shares. The failure of the Corporation or the Holder to insist upon strict adherence to any term of the provisions of the Series A Preference Shares on one or more occasions shall not be considered a waiver or deprive that party of the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other term of the provisions of the Series A Preference Shares. Any waiver must be in writing.

 

f)            Severability. If any provision of the Series A Preference Shares is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the balance of the provisions of the Series A Preference Shares shall remain in effect, and if any provision is inapplicable to any person or circumstance, it shall nevertheless remain applicable to all other persons and circumstances. If it shall be found that any interest or other amount deemed interest due hereunder violates applicable laws governing usury, the applicable rate of interest due hereunder shall automatically be lowered to equal the maximum permitted rate of interest.

 

g)            Next Business Day. Whenever any payment or other obligation hereunder shall be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day.

 

h)            Headings. The headings contained herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of the provisions of the Series A Preference Shares and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.

17.RISK FACTORS

 

This section describes the principal risks and uncertainties that could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business and financial results. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only risks that may impact the Company’s business. Additional risks not currently known to the Company or that management currently believes are immaterial may also have a material adverse effect on future business and operations. Any discussion about risks should be read in conjunction with “Forward-Looking Statements”.

 

General Risk Factors

 

We require additional capital which may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all.   Our ability to continue operations and development, and fund strategic opportunities is dependent on our ability to secure additional financing and cash flow. We are pursuing such additional sources of financing and cash flow to fund our operations and obligations and while we have been successful in doing so in the past, there can be no assurance we will be able to do so in the future. We intend to satisfy any additional working capital requirements from cash flow and by raising capital through public or private sales of debt or equity securities, debt financing or short-term loans, or a combination of the foregoing.  We have no current arrangements for obtaining additional capital, and may not be able to secure additional capital, or on terms which will not be objectionable to us or our shareholders.  Under such circumstances, our failure or inability to obtain additional capital on acceptable terms or at all could have a material adverse effect on us.

 

We have a history of losses and a limited operating history as a media and internet company which makes it more difficult to evaluate our future prospects.   To date, we have incurred significant losses. We have a limited operating history as a media and internet company upon which any evaluation of us and our long-term prospects might be based. We and our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, and difficulties encountered by all companies engaged in the extremely competitive internet media business. Any future success we might achieve will depend upon many factors, including factors, which may be beyond our control.  These factors may include changes in technologies, competition, changes in our strategy, changes in expenses, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, general economic conditions, and economic and regulatory conditions specific to the areas in which we compete.  

 

Our inability to manage our expected growth could have a material adverse effect on our business operations and prospects.   We may be subject to growth-related risks including capacity constraints and pressure on our internal systems and controls. The ability to manage growth effectively will require us to continue to implement and improve our operational and financial systems and to expend, train and manage our employee base. The inability to deal with this growth could have a material adverse impact on our business, operations and prospects.

 

To compete in our industry, we must attract and retain qualified personnel.   Our ability to continue our business and to develop a competitive edge in the marketplace depends, in large part, on our ability to attract and retain qualified management and personnel.  Competition for such personnel is intense, and we may not be able to attract and retain such personnel which may negatively impact our share price. We do not have key-man insurance on any of our employees, directors or senior officers and we do not have written employment agreements with any of our employees, directors or senior officers.

 

We must continue to institute procedures designed to avoid potential conflicts involving our officers and directors. Some of our directors and officers are or may serve on the board of directors of other companies from time to time. Pursuant to the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (Ontario), our directors and senior officers must disclose material interests in any contract or transaction (or proposed contract or transaction) material to us.  To avoid the possibility of conflicts of interest which may arise out of their fiduciary responsibilities to each of the boards, all such directors have agreed to abstain from voting with respect to a conflict of interest between the applicable companies.  In appropriate cases, we will establish a special committee of independent directors to review a matter in which several directors, or members of management, may have a conflict.

 

  34

 

  

We rely on the expertise of certain persons and must insure that these relationships are developed and maintained.   We are dependent on the advice and technical skills of various consultants and partners contracted by us from time to time.  Our failure to develop and maintain relationships with qualified consultants and partners will have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results.

 

We must indemnify our officers and directors against certain actions.   Our articles contain provisions that state, subject to applicable law, we must indemnify every director or officer, subject to the limitations of the Business Corporations Act (Ontario), against all losses or liabilities that our directors or officers may sustain or incur in the execution of their duties.  Our articles further state that no director or officer will be liable for any loss, damage or misfortune that may happen to, or be incurred by us in the execution of his duties if he acted honestly and in good faith with a view to our best interests. Such limitations on liability may reduce the likelihood of litigation against our officers and directors and may discourage or deter our shareholders from suing our officers and directors based upon breaches of their duties to us, though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit us and our shareholders.

 

We do not currently maintain a permanent place of business within the United States. A majority of our directors and officers are nationals or residents of countries other than the United States, and all or a substantial portion of such persons' assets are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for investors to enforce within the United States any judgments obtained against our company or our officers or directors, including judgments predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state thereof.

 

Since our sole executive officer does not devote his full time to the performance of his Company duties, he may engage in other work activities to our detriment.  James Cassina, our sole executive officer, devotes approximately 85% of his work time to the performance of his Company duties. Although he has an obligation to perform his duties in a manner consistent with our best interests and through his stock ownership in the Company, is incentivized to do so, may encounter conflicts regarding the availability and use of his work time. Although there are no such present conflicts, the development thereof could have a material adverse effect on us.

 

Risks Factors Relating to Our Common Stock

 

Our stockholders may have difficulty selling shares of our common stock as there is a limited public trading market for such stock.  There is only a limited public market for our common stock, and no assurance can be given that a broad or active public trading market will develop in the future or, if developed, that it will be sustained. Our common stock trades on the OTC Markets QB.  In addition, our common stock has not been qualified under any applicable state blue-sky laws, and we are under no obligation to so qualify or register our common stock, or otherwise take action to improve the public market for such securities. Our common stock could have limited marketability due to the following factors, each of which could impair the timing, value and market for such securities:  (i) lack of profits, (ii) need for additional capital, (ii) limited public market for such securities; (iii) the applicability of certain resale requirements under the Securities Act; and (iv) applicable blue sky laws and the other factors discussed in this Risk Factors section.

 

Possible volatility of stock price. The market price for our common stock may be volatile and is subject to significant fluctuations in response to a variety of factors, including the liquidity of the market for the common stock, variations in our quarterly operating results, regulatory or other changes in the tech industry generally, announcements of business developments by us or our competitors, litigation, changes in operating costs and variations in general market conditions. Because we have a limited operating history, the market price for our common stock may be more volatile than that of a seasoned issuer. Changes in the market price of our securities may have no connection with our operating results. No predictions or projections can be made as to what the prevailing market price for our common stock will be at any time.

 

We do not anticipate paying dividends on our common stock.   We presently plan to retain all available funds for use in our business, and therefore do not plan to pay any cash dividends with respect to our securities in the foreseeable future.  Hence, investors in our common stock should not expect to receive any distribution of cash dividends with respect to such securities for the foreseeable future.

 

  35

 

  

Our shareholders may experience dilution of their ownership interests because of our future issuance of additional shares of common stock.   Our constating documents authorize the issuance of an unlimited number of shares of common stock, without par value. In the event that we are required to issue additional shares of common stock or securities exercisable for or convertible into additional shares of common stock, enter into private placements to raise financing through the sale of equity securities or acquire other opportunities of merit in the future from the issuance of shares of our common stock to acquire such interests, the interests of our existing shareholders will be diluted and existing shareholders may suffer dilution in their net book value per share depending on the price at which such securities are sold. If we do issue additional shares, it will cause a reduction in the proportionate ownership and

 

Applicable SEC rules governing the trading of “penny stocks” will limit the trading and liquidity of our common stock and may affect the trade price for our common stock.   The Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) has adopted rules which generally define "penny stock" to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) of less than US$5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our securities will be covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and "accredited investors". The term "accredited investor" refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of US$5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of US$1,000,000 or annual income exceeding US$200,000 or US$300,000 jointly with their spouse.

 

The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC which provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer's confirmation.

 

In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the shares that are subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities. We expect that the penny stock rules will discourage investor interest in and limit the marketability of our common shares.

 

In addition to the "penny stock" rules described above, The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer's financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, the FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. The FINRA requirements will make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common shares, which may limit your ability to buy and sell our shares and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares.

 

Risks Factors Relating to Our Business

 

Changes in regulations or user concerns regarding privacy and protection of user data, or any failure to comply with such laws, could adversely affect our business. Federal, state, and international laws and regulations govern the collection, use, retention, disclosure, sharing and security of data that we receive from and about our users. The use of consumer data by online service providers and advertising networks is a topic of active interest among federal, state, and international regulatory bodies, and the regulatory environment is unsettled. Many states have passed laws requiring notification to users where there is a security breach for personal data, such as California’s Information Practices Act. We face similar risks in international markets where our products and services are offered. Any failure, or perceived failure, by us to comply with or make effective modifications to our policies, or to comply with any federal, state, or international privacy, data-retention or data-protection-related laws, regulations, orders or industry self-regulatory principles could result in proceedings or actions against us by governmental entities or others, a loss of user confidence, and a loss of users, advertising partners, any of which could potentially have an adverse effect on our business.

 

  36

 

  

If we are unable to license, acquire, create or aggregate compelling content and services at reasonable cost, or receive compelling content, the number of users of our services may not grow as anticipated, or may decline, or users’ level of engagement with our services may decline, all of which could harm our operating results. Our future success depends in part on our ability to aggregate compelling content and deliver that content through our online properties. We license from third parties much of the content and services on our online properties, such as news, stock quotes, weather, sports, video, and photos. In addition, our users also contribute content to us. We believe that users will increasingly demand high-quality content and services. We may need to make substantial payments to third parties from whom we license or acquire such content or services. Our ability to maintain and build relationships with such third-party providers is critical to our success. In addition, as users increasingly access the Internet via mobile and other alternative devices, we may need to enter into amended agreements with existing third-party providers to cover new devices. We may be unable to enter into new, or preserve existing, relationships with the third-parties whose content or services we seek to obtain. In addition, as competition for compelling content increases both domestically and internationally, our third-party providers may increase the prices at which they offer their content and services to us, stop offering their content or services to us, or offer their content and services on terms that are not agreeable to us. An increase in the prices charged to us by third-party providers could harm our operating results and financial condition. Further, because many of our licenses for our content and services with third parties are non-exclusive, other media providers may be able to offer similar or identical content. This increases the importance of our ability to deliver compelling editorial content and personalization of this content for users in order to differentiate ICE from other businesses. If we are unable to license or acquire compelling content at reasonable cost, if other companies distribute content or services that are similar to or the same as that provided by us, or if we do not receive compelling content from our users, the number of users of our services may not grow as anticipated, or may decline, users’ level of engagement with our services may decline, clicks on our ads may decrease, or advertisers may reduce future purchases of our ads, all or any of which could harm our operating results.

 

Technologies, tools, software, and applications could block our advertisements, impair our ability to deliver interest-based advertising, or shift the location in which advertising appears, which could harm our operating results. Technologies, tools, software, and applications (including new and enhanced browsers) have been developed and are likely to continue to be developed that can block or allow users to opt out of display, search, and interest-based advertising and content, delete or block the cookies used to deliver such advertising, or shift the location in which advertising appears on pages so that our advertisements do not show up in the most monetizable places on our pages or are obscured. Most of our revenue is derived from fees paid by advertisers in connection with the display of graphical and non-graphical advertisements or clicks on search advertisements on web pages. As a result, the adoption of such technologies, tools, software, and applications could reduce the number of search and display advertisements that we are able to deliver and/or our ability to deliver interest-based advertising and this, in turn, could reduce our advertising revenue and operating results.

 

Interruptions, delays, or failures in the provision of our services could damage our reputation and harm our operating results. Delays or disruptions to our service, or the loss or compromise of data, could result from a variety of causes, including power loss, equipment or telecommunications failures, cyber attacks, terrorist attacks, political or social unrest, natural disasters or other events over which we have little or no control. The systems through which we provide our products and services are highly technical, complex, and interdependent. Design errors might exist in these systems, or might be introduced when we make modifications, which might cause service malfunctions or require services to be taken offline. We rely on third-party providers over which we have little or no control for our principal Internet connections and co-location of a significant portion of our data servers, as well as for our payment processing capabilities and key components or features of certain of our products and services. Any disruption of the services they provide us or any failure of these third-party providers to handle higher volumes of use could, in turn, cause delays or disruptions in our services and loss of revenue. In addition, if our agreements with these third-party providers are terminated for any reason, we might not have a readily available alternative. Prolonged delays or disruptions to our service could result in a loss of users, legal costs or liability, and harm to our operating results.

 

  37

 

  

We may be required to record a significant charge to earnings if our intangible assets become impaired. Factors that could lead to impairment of intangible assets (including goodwill or assets acquired via acquisitions) and other investments include significant adverse changes in the business climate and actual or projected operating results (affecting our company as a whole or affecting any particular reporting unit) and declines in the financial condition of our business. Factors that could lead to impairment of investments in equity interests include a prolonged period of decline in the stock price or operating performance of, or an announcement of adverse changes or events by, the companies in which we invested or the investments held by those companies. We may be required in the future to record additional charges to earnings if our goodwill, intangible assets, investments in equity interests, including investments held by any equity method investee, or other investments become impaired. Any such charge would adversely impact our financial results.

 

Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates may adversely affect our operating results and financial condition. Revenue generated and expenses incurred by us are often denominated in U.S. dollars. Our financial statements are reported in Canadian Dollars and as such are subject to fluctuations due to changes in exchange rates as the financial results are translated into Canadian dollars. Our financial results are also subject to changes in exchange rates that impact the settlement of transactions in foreign currencies.

 

We may be subject to legal liability associated with providing online services or content. We provide a wide variety of services and technology products that enable and encourage individuals and businesses to exchange information; upload or otherwise generate photos, videos, text, and other content; advertise products and services; conduct business; and engage in various online activities both domestically and internationally. The law relating to the liability of providers of online services and products for activities of their users is currently unsettled both within the United States and internationally. As a publisher and producer of original content, we may be subject to claims such as copyright, libel, defamation or improper use of publicity rights, as well as other infringement claims such as plagiarism which could result in substantial costs to enforce or defend.

 

Certain of our metrics are subject to inherent challenges in measurement, and real or perceived inaccuracies in such metrics may harm our reputation and negatively affect our business. We present key metrics such as unique users, number of Ads Sold, number of Paid Clicks, Search click-driven revenue, Price-per-Click and Price-per-Ad that are calculated using internal company data. We periodically review, refine and update our methodologies for monitoring, gathering, and calculating these metrics.

 

While our metrics are based on what we believe to be reasonable measurements and methodologies, there are inherent challenges in deriving our metrics across large online and mobile populations around the world. In addition, our user metrics may differ from estimates published by third parties or from similar metrics of our competitors due to differences in methodology. Furthermore, over time we may revise or cease reporting certain metrics that we no longer believe are useful or meaningful measures of our performance and add new metrics which we believe are better measurements of performance.

 

If advertisers or publishers do not perceive our metrics to be accurate, or if we discover material inaccuracies in our metrics, it could negatively affect our reputation, business and financial results.

 

We rely on third parties to provide the technologies necessary to deliver content, advertising, and services to our users, and any change in the licensing terms, costs, availability, or acceptance of these formats and technologies could adversely affect our business. We rely on third parties to provide the technologies that we use to deliver the majority of the content, advertising, and services to our users. There can be no assurance that these providers will continue to license their technologies or intellectual property to us on reasonable terms, or at all. Providers may change the fees they charge users or otherwise change their business model in a manner that slows the widespread acceptance of their technologies. In order for our services to be successful, there must be a large base of users of the technologies necessary to deliver our content, advertising, and services. We have limited or no control over the availability or acceptance of those technologies, and any change in the licensing terms, costs, availability, or user acceptance of these technologies could adversely affect our business.

 

Our business depends on continued and unimpeded access to the Internet by us and our users. Internet access providers may be able to block, degrade, or charge for access to certain of our products and services, which could lead to additional expenses and the loss of users and advertisers. Our products and services depend on the ability of our users to access the Internet, and certain of our products require significant bandwidth to work effectively. Currently, this access is provided by companies that have significant market power in the broadband and internet access marketplace, including incumbent telephone companies, cable companies, mobile communications companies, and government-owned service providers. Some of these providers may take, or have stated that they may take, measures that could degrade, disrupt, or increase the cost of user access to certain of our products by restricting or prohibiting the use of their infrastructure to support or facilitate our offerings, or by charging increased fees to us or our users to provide our offerings. Such interference could result in a loss of existing users and advertisers, and increased costs, and could impair our ability to attract new users and advertisers, thereby harming our revenues and growth. The adoption of any laws or regulations that limit access to the Internet by blocking, degrading or charging access fees to us or our users for certain services could decrease the demand for, or the usage of, our products, services and apps, increase our cost of doing business and adversely affect our operating results.

Any failure to manage expansion and changes to our business could adversely affect our operating results. If we are unable to effectively manage our employees or to anticipate our future growth, our business may be adversely affected. As we change and attempt to expand our business, we must also expand and adapt our operational infrastructure. Our business relies on data systems, billing systems, and financial reporting and control systems, among others. All of these systems have become increasingly complex in the recent past due to the growing complexity of our business, acquisitions of new businesses and increased regulation over controls and procedures. To manage our business in a cost-effective manner, we will need to continue to upgrade and improve our data systems, billing systems, and other operational and financial systems, procedures, and controls. In some cases, we are outsourcing administrative functions to lower-cost providers. These upgrades, improvements and outsourcing changes will require a dedication of resources and in some cases are likely to be complex. If we are unable to adapt our systems and put adequate controls in place in a timely manner, our business may be adversely affected

 

Adverse macroeconomic conditions could cause decreases or delays in spending by our advertisers and could harm our ability to generate revenue and our results of operations. Advertising expenditures tend to be cyclical, reflecting overall economic conditions and budgeting and buying patterns. Since we anticipate that most of our revenue will be derived from advertising, future adverse macroeconomic conditions could cause, decreases or delays in advertising spending and negatively impact our advertising revenue and short-term ability to grow our revenue. Further, any decreased collectability of accounts receivable or early termination of agreements, whether resulting from customer bankruptcies or otherwise due to adverse macroeconomic conditions, could negatively impact our results of operations.

22.MATERIAL CONTRACTS

 

22.1During the two year period preceding the filing date of this Listing Statement, we entered into no material contracts other than contracts entered into in the ordinary course except for the following:

 

On June 22, 2016, the Company entered into a consulting agreement to assist with the development of new business programs, business units, partnerships, concepts and ideas as well as technical, commercial and creative advisory services. As consideration for the services the Company agreed to provide to the consultant remuneration of $20,000 upon execution the agreement, $10,000 monthly commencing July 1, 2016 and issue 1,750,000 common share purchase warrants, valid for 5 years with cashless exercise provisions issued at a price of C$1.50 vesting 437,500 per quarter.

 

The Company entered into an asset purchase agreement pursuant to which effective February 29, 2016, the Company acquired the net assets of Digital Widget Factory Inc., (the “Acquired Assets”) a Belize company (the “Vendor”), in an all-stock transaction by issuing 12,500,000 million common shares and 5,750,000 Series A preferred shares of ICE to the Vendor (the “Acquisition Agreement”). The Series A preferred shares are convertible into units of ICE with each unit comprised of 1 common share and 1 common share purchase warrant entitling the holder to acquire an additional common share of ICE for $0.35 for up to 3 years (the common shares and the preference shares are hereafter referred to as the “Purchase Price Shares”). All of the Purchase Price Shares are subject to the provisions of an Escrow Agreement and a Lock-up and Leak-out Agreement.

 

The essential component of the Acquired Assets is a proprietary intelligent content platform ( the “Technology”) developed by Digital Widget Factory Inc. and evidenced by an expanding portfolio of websites under the primary URL www.digiwidgy.com. A third party licence facilitates multi-language conversion of the content in the websites created by the Technology (the “DWF Technology”). The Company did not assume any of the liabilities of the Vendor in the transaction. The DWF Technology is comprised of a cloud based, global proprietary online content creation, management and advertising platform that powers online user and engagement programs globally in over 50 languages in real-time to desktop, mobile and portable devices. The DWF Technology delivers engagement in language of choice, determined by the user’s system and location based opportunities determined by the user’s location, creating potentially increased interaction and revenue opportunities over conventional single language programs.  The Technology also provides increase economies of scale in the “production” of content, as it localizes the user experience on a technical, rather than a human process, increasing cost efficiencies and increasing speed to global markets.

 

The Company’s business model is to create, source and secure commercial content, internally and externally and obtain commercial partner content programs, which would utilize the DWF Technology to funnel such content to the market place. The Company’s revenue strategy is Content driven.

 

50% of the Purchase Price Shares (6,250,000 common shares and 2,875,000 Series A preferred shares are held in escrow as security until the earlier of (1) satisfaction by ICE of the Vendors indemnity obligations under of the Acquisition Agreement; (2) an order of a court of competent jurisdiction; or (3) termination date of Escrow Agreement on March 6, 2017 (the “Escrow Agreement”).

 

The Vendor may not offer, sell, contract to sell, grant any option to purchase, hypothecate, pledge or otherwise dispose of or transfer title to any of the Purchase Price Shares during the period commencing on the March 4, 2016 and ending on December 4, 2016 (the “Lockup Period”). During the 12 month period following the Lockup Period, the Vendor shall be permitted to make sales of up to 25% of the Purchase Price Shares in each successive three month period. If the Vendors sales are less than 25% in any such three month period, the unsold portion shall carry forward into the next three month period (the “Lock-up and Leak-out Agreement”).

The fair value of the transaction was estimated at approximately $9,530,250 and paid through the issuance by the Company of the Purchase Price Shares. In arriving at the estimated fair value of the Purchase Price Shares on the effective date of the acquisition, the Company discounted the market value of the Purchase Price Shares after factoring in certain provisions and conditions of the Lock-up and Leak-out Agreement, the Escrow Agreement, Rule 144 restrictions of the Securities Act of 1933 and the associated liquidity risk. The purchase price allocation to the fair value of the assets acquired as at February 29, 2016 was as follows:

 

Consideration:     
Fair Value of Issuance of 12,500,000 common shares  $5,071,125 
Fair Value of Issuance of 5,750,000 Series A Preferred Shares   4,459,125 
Total consideration  $9,530,250 
Allocated to:     
Intangible assets-technology  $9,530,250 
Transaction Costs:     
Financial advisory, legal and other expenses*  $30,550 

*Transaction costs were recorded as a reduction in share capital

 

On or about September 30, 2014, Stratex Oil & Gas Holdings, Inc. (“Stratex”) filed a petition against Eagleford Energy Zavala Inc. (“Zavala Inc.”) in the District Court of Zavala County, Texas seeking breach of contract and actual damages of US$152,293 for Zavala Inc.’s alleged non-payment of its proportionate share of minimum royalties due under the Matthews Lease. Zavala Inc. The Company disputed the claim citing $300,000 paid by the Company was to be credited against the minimum royalties which Stratex failed to do. The Company paid the US$152,293 under protest and filed a Response and Cross Notice of Default against Stratex (Cause No. 14-09-13290-ZCV). Effective March 31, 2015, the Company entered into a settlement with Stratex and Quadrant Resources LLC (“Quadrant”) pursuant to which Stratex assigned all of its rights, title and interest in, to and under the Matthews Lease and the JDA, to the Company and Quadrant, and issued to the Company 1,333,333 common shares of Stratex as repayment of the disputed minimum royalty of US$152,293 and a further payment of US$25,000 was to be paid by Stratex to the Company.

 

On August 31, 2014, the Company entered into a 10% per annum secured convertible promissory note payable in the amount of US$1,216,175 and a General Security Agreement. The secured convertible promissory note is due on the earliest to occur of: (a) August 31, 2015; (b) the closing of any subsequent financing or series of financings by the Company that results in gross proceeds of an aggregate amount equal to or greater than US$4,400,000, excluding conversion of any existing debt into equity; (c) the date of a sale by the Company of all of the shares in the capital stock of Zavala Inc. held by the Company from time to time; (d) the closing of a merger, reorganization, take-over or other business combination which results in a change of control of the Company or Zavala Inc.; or (e) an event of default (the “Note”).

 

At August 31, 2015, the Company was unable to pay the Note (US$1,216,175) plus interest of US$121,618, totalling US$1,337,793, which constituted an event of default pursuant to the terms of the Note. In an effort to avoid further costs, the Company entered into a Settlement and Exercise of Security Agreement whereby effective August 31, 2015, the Company assigned and conveyed all of it rights, title and interest in and to Zavala Inc., and issued 1,000,000 shares of common stock in the Company.
