Xcelerate, Inc. Issues Shareholder Update

By: ACCESSWIRE

MAULDIN, SC / ACCESSWIRE / October 15, 2024 / Xcelerate, Inc.'s (OTCQB:XCRT) CEO, Mike O'Shea, today released this letter and shareholder update.

Dear Shareholder,

During the first six months of 2024, we encountered several impediments to our fundraising and expansion plans. Most notably, on May 03, 2024, the SEC issued an announcement concerning our independent auditors at the time, BF Borgers CPA PC. The announcement stated, "Ben Borgers and his audit firm, BF Borgers, CPA PC, were responsible for one of the largest wholesale failures by gatekeepers in our financial markets," and permanently banned Mr. Borgers and his firm from ever practicing before the Commission. The SEC also announced that, while it would accept all audits issued by Borgers through the date of the announcement, it would not accept audits undertaken by BF Borgers as part of any registration statement. As a result, because we had filed a registration statement relating to an underwritten public offering and up-listing of our stock to trade on NASDAQ, this action required us to re-audit our financial statements that had been completed by BF Borgers for the years ended December 31, 2022, and 2023, and included in our S-1 registration statement.

We then retained new auditors, Bush and Associates CPA LLC, Henderson, NV, at significant cost, who worked tirelessly with our management to re-audit our financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2022, and 2023, as well as the financial statement audits for the years ended December 31, 2021, and 2022 for the ESN Group. We note that this second audit resulted in no material deviation from the initial audit.

Once these projects were completed, on July 30, 2024, we filed an amendment to our registration statement which included these new, re-audited financial statements.

Thereafter, on August 22, 2024, we received a new comment letter from the SEC. We are currently addressing these comments which, among other items, require us to include tax and valuation reports from third-party consultants in our next amendment.

Additionally, because we are a reporting company with the SEC pursuant to Regulation A, on September 24, 2024, we timely filed our Semi-Annual Report on Form 1-SA with the SEC. Some highlights of this filing include:

  • Revenue of $1,577,720 was generated from the operations of ESN Group during the six months ended June 30, 2024. Because we did not own any interest in the ESN Group on June 30, 2023, we did not book any revenue or other results of operations attributable to the ESN Group for the six months ended June 30, 2023. Total revenue of the ESN Group for the year ended December 31, 2023, was $1,122,085.

  • Total assets at June 30, 2024, were $1,829,980, compared to $309,639 at June 30, 2023.

  • Other than the $400,000 raised in the Company's Reg A offering, all of the Company's operations to date have been funded by our CEO and our principal investors. These related party loans, which are not convertible, and which are interest-free, increased from $1,420,793 on December 31, 2023, to $1,706,110 at June 30, 2024.

  • The Company continues to have no derivative securities issued or outstanding, including any warrants or options, and no shares were issued during 2024.

All of our SEC filings are available for viewing at www.sec.gov.

"I would personally and professionally like to thank our staff, advisors, and consultants as we continue our efforts to move forward with the implementation of our business plan," said Mike O'Shea, CEO.
