EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Pre-Effective Amendment No. 2 (the “PosAm No. 2”) to the Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-284773), initially filed on February 7, 2025, is being filed as an exhibits-only filing. Accordingly, this amendment consists only of the facing page, this explanatory note, Item 16(a) of Part II of the Registration Statement, the signature page to the Registration Statement and the filed exhibits. The remainder of the Registration Statement is unchanged and has therefore been omitted.

No additional securities are being registered under this PreAm No. 2. All applicable registration fees were previously paid.

PART II

Information Not Required in Prospectus

Item 13. Other Expenses of Issuance and Distribution.

The following is an estimate of the expenses (all of which are to be paid by the registrant) that we may incur in connection with the securities being registered hereby.

*To be provided by amendment.

We will bear all costs, expenses, and fees in connection with the registration of the securities, including with regard to compliance with state securities or “blue sky” laws. All amounts are estimates except the SEC registration fee.

Item 14. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

Pursuant to the Registrant’s Articles of Incorporation, as amended and Bylaws, the Registrant may indemnify any person (including his estate) made or threatened to be made a party to any suit or proceeding, whether civil or criminal, by reason of the fact that he was a director or officer of the Registrant or served at the Registrant’s request as a director or officer of a subsidiary of the Registrant, against judgments, fines, amounts paid in settlement and reasonable expenses, including attorney fees actually and necessarily incurred as a result of such threat, suit or proceeding, or any appeal therein, to the fullest extent permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State of Wyoming.

Item 15. Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities.

During the last three years, the Registrant has not issued unregistered securities to any person, except as described below. None of these transactions involved any underwriters, underwriting discounts, or commissions, except as specified below, or any public offering, and, unless otherwise indicated below, the Registrant believes that each transaction was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act by virtue of Section 4(a)(2) thereof and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder, and/or Regulation S promulgated thereunder regarding offshore offers and sales. All recipients had adequate access, though their relationships with the Registrant, to information about the Registrant.

On March 2, 2021, the Company issued 1,479,728 shares of Common Stock in exchange for $88,783.68, per the terms of a cash stock warrant exercise.

On March 25, 2021, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with the Selling Stockholder, pursuant to which Yorkville purchased secured convertible debentures (the “2021 Securities Purchase Agreement”) in the aggregate principal amount of $4,000,000 (the “2021 Convertible Debentures”), which are convertible into shares of Common Stock (as converted, the “2021 Conversion Shares”), of which a secured convertible debenture (the “2021 First Convertible Debenture”) in the principal amount of $500,000 shall be issued within 1 business day following the initial closing, a secured convertible debenture (the “2021 Second Convertible Debenture”) in the principal amount of $500,000 shall be issued within 1 business day following the satisfaction of conditions for a second closing and a secured convertible debenture (the “2021 Third Convertible Debenture,” together with the 2021 First Convertible Debenture and the 2021 Second Convertible Debenture, each a “2021 Convertible Debenture” and collectively, the “2021 Convertible Debentures”) in the principal amount of $3,000,000 shall be issued within 1 business day following satisfaction of conditions for a third closing (the first closing, second closing and third closing are each referred to as a “2021 Closing” or collectively as the “2021 Closings) (the “2021 Yorkville Transaction”).

Each 2021 Convertible Debenture shall mature twelve (12) months after the date of issuance and accrued interest at the rate of 10% per annum. Yorkville had the right to convert each 2021 Convertible Debenture into shares of Common Stock at any time after issuance at a price equal to 80% of the lowest volume weighted average price of the Company’s Common Stock during the 10 trading days immediately preceding the date they convert the debenture; provided, however if the Company’s Common Stock is uplisted to a national exchange, the conversion price shall not be less than 20% of the conversion price used in the first conversion thereunder. Yorkville was not entitled to convert the 2021 Convertible Debenture if such conversion would result in such holder holding in excess of in excess of 4.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion or receipt of shares as payment of interest, unless waived by the holder with at least 65 days prior notice to the Company (the “Ownership Cap”).

The Company held the first closing on March 25, 2021, and contemporaneously therewith, the Company issued Yorkville a warrant (the “2021 Yorkville Warrant”) to purchase 8,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock (the “2021 Warrant Shares”). The 2021 Yorkville Warrant has a term of five (5) years and was initially exercisable at $0.25 per share, subject to adjustment and can be exercised via a cash or cashless exercise. If the Company issues or sells securities at a price less than the exercise price, the exercise price shall be reduced to such lower price. The Yorkville Warrant also has the same Ownership Cap as set forth in the 2021 Convertible Debenture.

In connection with the 2021 Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company also entered into a registration rights agreement with Yorkville, pursuant to which the Company agreed to register the shares of Common Stock underling the 2021 Debentures and the 2021 Yorkville Warrant.

Following fulfillment of the requirements in the 2021 Securities Purchase Agreement, on April 6, 2021, the Company issued the 2021 Second Convertible Debenture to Yorkville in the amount of $500,000.

Following fulfillment of the requirements in the 2021 Securities Purchase Agreement, on April 22, 2021, the Company issued the 2021 Third Convertible Debenture to Yorkville in the amount of $3,000,000.

Between April 23, 2021, and December 20, 2021, the Company issued 64,671,915 shares of Common Stock in exchange for conversion of $4,250,000 of principal balance on a convertible debenture and $211,930 of accrued interest.

On May 4, 2021, the Company issued 1,479,728 shares of Common stock in connection with the exercise of 1,479,728 warrants for $88,784.

On September 3, 2021, the Company issued 3,000,000 shares of its common stock for services rendered, with a fair value of $242,100 ($0.0807/share) on the date of grant.

On January 18, 2022, we entered into another securities purchase agreement with Yorkville, pursuant to which Yorkville purchased secured convertible debentures (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) in the aggregate principal amount of $3,000,000 (the “Convertible Debentures”), which were convertible into shares of Common Stock (as converted, the “Conversion Shares”), of which a secured convertible debenture (the “First Convertible Debenture”) in the principal amount of $1,500,000 shall be issued upon signing the Securities Purchase Agreement and a secured convertible debenture (the “Second Convertible Debenture,” together with the First Convertible Debenture, each a “Convertible Debenture” and collectively, the “Convertible Debentures”) in the principal amount of $1,500,000 shall be issued on or about the date that the Securities and Exchange Commission declares the Registration Statement registering the shares of Common Stock underlying the notes effective (the “Yorkville Transaction”). These additional funds, together with those from the previously completed transactions we conducted with Yorkville between December 2020 and March 2021, account for an $8 million total Yorkville investment; as of the date hereof, this debt has been fully repaid. The Company also issued Yorkville a warrant to purchase 12,500,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, at an initial exercise price of $0.12 per share and a warrant to purchase 4,285,714 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, at an initial exercise price of $0.14 per share. The warrants have a term of five (5) years and can be exercised via a cash or cashless exercise. If the Company issues or sells securities at a price less than the applicable warrant exercise price, the exercise price of the applicable warrant shall be reduced to such lower price. The warrants also have the same ownership cap as set forth in the Convertible Debentures, as described below. The Company is also required to reserve no less than 300% of the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of all the outstanding Convertible Debentures. Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company is prohibited from incurring specified indebtedness, liens, except with the prior written consent from the holders of at least 75% of the then outstanding principal amount of Convertible Debentures.

Each Convertible Debenture shall mature thirteen (13) months after the date of issuance, unless extended by the Yorkville, and accrues interest at the rate of 10% per annum. Principal, interest, and any other payments due under the Convertible Debentures shall be paid in cash. The debenture holder may convert all or part of the Convertible Debentures into shares of Common Stock at any time after issuance at a conversion rate equal to 85% of the lowest daily volume weighted average price of the Common Stock during the 10 consecutive trading days immediately preceding the conversion date or other date of determination. The debenture holder may not convert the Convertible Debenture if such conversion would result in such holder holding in excess of in excess of 4.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion or receipt of shares as payment of interest, unless waived by the holder with at least 65 days prior notice to the Company (the “Ownership Cap”). The Company also has the option to redeem, in part or in whole, the outstanding principal and interest under a Convertible Debenture prior to the maturity date. The Company shall pay an amount equal to the principal and interest amount being redeemed plus a redemption premium equal to 15% of the outstanding principal amount. Standard events of default are included in the Convertible Debenture, pursuant to which the holder may declare it immediately due and payable. During an event of default, the interest rate shall increase to 15% per annum until the event of default is cured; the holder also has the right to convert the Convertible Debenture into shares of Common Stock during an event of default.

The Convertible Debentures are secured by all assets of the Company and its subsidiaries subject to (i) that certain amended and restated security agreement by and between Yorkville, the Company and the Company’s subsidiaries (all such security agreements shall be referred to as the “Security Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries agree to provide Yorkville a security interest in all personal property of the Prodigy Textiles, the Company’s subsidiary organized under the laws of Vietnam (“Prodigy”), (ii) the amended and restated intellectual property security agreement by and between Yorkville, the Company and the Company’s subsidiaries referenced therein dated January 18, 2022 (all such security agreements shall be referred to as the “IP Security Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries agree to provide Yorkville a security interest in the intellectual property collateral (as this term is defined in the IP Security Agreement), and (iii) the amended and restated global guaranty by and between Prodigy, in favor of Yorkville, with respect to all of the Company’s obligations to Yorkville dated as of January 18, 2022 (the “Guaranty” and collectively with the Security Agreement and the IP Security Agreement shall be referred to as the “Security Documents”). Pursuant to the Guaranty, Prodigy guarantees the payment and performance of all of the Company’s obligations under the Convertible Debentures, Warrants and related transaction documents.

In connection with the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with Yorkville, pursuant to which the Company agreed to register all of the shares of Common Stock underlying the Convertible Debentures and warrants and with respect to subsequent registration statements, if any, such number of shares of Common Stock as requested by Yorkville not to exceed 300% of the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of all Convertible Debentures then outstanding (assuming for purposes hereof that (x) such Convertible Debentures are convertible at the then current conversion price and (y) any such conversion shall not take into account any limitations on the conversion of the Convertible Debentures set forth therein, in each case subject to any cutbacks set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement.

Upon signing the letter of intent for the Yorkville Transaction, the Company paid $10,000 to an affiliate of Yorkville, for due diligence and structuring.

Item 17. Undertakings.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to provide to the underwriters at the closing specified in the underwriting agreement, certificates in such denominations and registered in such names as required by the underwriters to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

(i) To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended;

(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) (§230.424(b) of this chapter) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement.

(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:

(1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.

(2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

SIGNATURES

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant has duly caused this registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of New York, NY, on February 14, 2025.
