CAUTIONARY
STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Except
for historical information, this Annual Report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws.
Such forward-looking statements are based on management’s current expectations, assumptions, and beliefs concerning future developments
and their potential effect on our business, and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could negatively affect our business, operating
results, financial condition, and stock price. We have attempted to identify forward-looking statements by terminology including “anticipates,”
“believes,” “can,” “continue,” “could,” “estimates,” “expects,”
“intends,” “may,” “plans,” “potential,” “predicts,” “should,”
“will,” “would”, “if, “shall”, “might”, “will likely result, “projects”,
“goal”, “objective”, or “continues”, or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology,
although the absence of these words does not necessarily mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Additionally, statements concerning
future matters such as our business strategy, development of new products, sales levels, expense levels, cash flows, future commercial
and financing matters, future partnering opportunities and other statements regarding matters that are not historical are forward-looking
statements.
Although
the forward-looking statements in this Annual Report reflect our good faith judgment, based on currently available information, they
involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance,
or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements expressed or implied
by these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties, and assumptions,
including those described in the section titled “Risk Factors.” It is not possible for our management to predict all risks,
nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual
results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements we may make. In light of these risks, uncertainties
and assumptions, the forward-looking events and circumstances discussed in this Annual Report may not occur and actual results could
differ materially and adversely from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements. You should not rely upon forward-looking
statements as predictions of future events. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are
reasonable, we cannot guarantee that the future results, levels of activity, performance or events and circumstances reflected in the
forward-looking statements will be achieved or occur. Moreover, except as required by law, neither we nor any other person assumes responsibility
for the accuracy and completeness of the forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking
statements for any reason after the date of this Annual Report to conform these statements to actual results or to changes in our expectations.
You should, however, review the factors and risks we describe in the reports we will file from time to time with the SEC after the date
we file this Annual Report. Readers are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made in this Annual Report.

PART
I
ITEM 1.
BUSINESS
The
Company was incorporated in the Commonwealth of Virginia on July 13, 1993, and was a closed-end investment company licensed by the Small
Business Administration (the “SBA”) as a Small Business Investment Company (“SBIC”). The Company previously made
equity investments in and provided loans to small businesses to finance their growth, expansion, and development. Under applicable SBA
regulations, the Company was restricted to investing only in qualified small businesses as contemplated by the Small Business Investment
Act of 1958. As a registered investment company under the Act, the Company’s investment objective was to provide its shareholders
with a high level of income, with capital appreciation as a secondary objective. The Company made its first investment in a small business
in October 1996.
On
March 30, 2010, the SBA notified the Company that its account had been transferred to liquidation status and that the outstanding debentures
of $16.1 million-plus accrued interest (the “Debentures”) were due and payable within fifteen days of the date of the letter.
The Company did not possess adequate liquid assets to make this payment. The Company negotiated terms of a settlement agreement with
the SBA effective September 1, 2010. The Debentures were repurchased by the SBA in September 2010, represented by a Note Agreement between
the SBA and the Company. The Note Agreement had a maturity of March 31, 2013. In the event of a default, the SBA had the ability to seek
receivership.
On
May 24, 2012, the SBA delivered to the Company a notice of an event of default for failure to meet the principal repayment schedule under
the Note Agreement (the “Notice”). Under the terms of the Notice and the Note Agreement, the SBA maintained a continuing
right to terminate the Note Agreement and appoint a receiver to manage the Company’s assets.
On
November 20, 2013, the SBA filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia (the “ District
Court ”) seeking, among other things, receivership for the Company and judgment in the amount outstanding under the Note Agreement
plus continuing interest. The complaint alleged that as of October 31, 2013, there remained an outstanding balance of $11,762,634.58
under the Note Agreement, including interest, which continued to accrue at the rate of $2,021.93 per day. In filing the complaint, the
SBA requested that the District Court take exclusive jurisdiction of the Company and all of its assets wherever located and appoint the
SBA as permanent receiver of the Company to liquidate all of the Company’s assets and satisfy the claims of its creditors in the
order of priority as determined by the District Court.
On
May 28, 2014, the District Court entered a Consent Order and Judgment Dismissing Counterclaim, Appointing Receiver, Granting Permanent
Injunctive Relief and Granting Money Judgment (the “ Order ”). The Order appointed the SBA as receiver of the Company,
and the SBA designated Charles Fulford as its principal agent to act on its behalf as the receiver (the “Receiver”). The
Order authorized the Receiver to marshal and liquidate all of the Company’s assets in an orderly manner. The Order also served
to enter judgment in favor of the United States of America, on behalf of the SBA, against the Company for $11,770,722. Such amount represented
$11,700,000 in principal and $70,722 in accrued interest. The District Court assumed jurisdiction over the Company, and the SBA was appointed
Receiver effective May 28, 2014.
The
Company effectively stopped conducting an active business upon the appointment of the SBA as Receiver and the commencement of the receivership
ordered by the District Court (the “ Receivership ”). Over the course of the Receivership, the activity of the Company
was limited to the liquidation of the Company’s assets by the Receiver and the payment of the proceeds therefrom to the SBA and
for the expenses of the Receivership.
The
SBIC license granted to the Company by the SBA was revoked by the SBA effective March 20, 2017, in conjunction with the entry by the
District Court of the Order Approving the Procedures for Winding Up and Terminating the Receivership Estate. On June 28, 2017, the Receivership
was terminated pursuant to the entry of a Final Order by the District Court, further discharged all claims and obligations of the Company
other than the judgment held by SBA (the “ Final Order ”). Prior to the Final Order, the Receiver provided notice to
all shareholders of the Company. The Receiver also initiated separate contact with the largest shareholders of the Company in an attempt
to identify a shareholder willing to assume responsibility for the control of the Company on behalf of the Company’s shareholders.
Roran Capital, LLC (“Roran”), was the only shareholder willing to assume such control. As such, at the direction of the Receiver,
paragraph 4 of the Final Order specifically stated that “Control of Waterside shall be unconditionally transferred and returned
to its shareholders c/o Roran Capital, LLC (“Roran”) upon notification of entry of this Order”. At that time Roran
owned 51,000 shares of the Company which represented 2.7% of the issued and outstanding common stock at that time (and owns 4,247,666
shares currently which represents 70% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company at this time). 99% of the equity interests
in Roran were at the time, and remain, beneficially owned by Yitzhak Zelmanovitch. At the time of the Final Order, the Company had no
assets, and a sole remaining liability owed to the SBA in an amount exceeding $10,000,000.
1
Upon
termination of the Receivership, Roran took possession of all books and records made available to it by the Receiver. The termination
of the Receivership, and the termination of the power and authority of the Receiver, left the Company with no Board of Directors and
no officers. It was impossible to convene a shareholders meeting as there were no corporate officers or directors to provide (i) notice,
or (ii) the administrative oversight required for such a meeting. Roran, in reliance on and in compliance with the Final Order, sought
to appoint a new board of directors (the “ New Board ”). Without a New Board, the Company would be unable to operate
as a viable business, and appointment by Roran was the only manner in which the New Board could be constituted.
Roran
expended a good faith effort to seek out qualified third parties to serve on the New Board. Because of the liability exposure inherent
in serving on the board of a public company, the Company’s lack of financial resources, and the Company’s loss of its SBIC
license, Roran was unable to locate any qualified individuals to serve on the New Board and thus appointed Zindel Zelmanovitch, the father
of Yitzhak Zelmanovitch, as the sole director and officer of the Company. Zindel is an experienced business person who has previously
served as the CEO and director of a public company; thus, although related to the 99% owner of Roran, he has objectively acceptable qualifications
to serve in this dual position. Zindel Zelmanovitch has never owned any shares of stock of the Company and has not been compensated for
any of his services as a director or officer of the Company to date.
In
his capacity as the sole director and officer of the Company, Zindel Zelmanovitch considered a variety of options for the Company, including
bankruptcy and liquidation, neither of which would have yielded any economic benefit for the Company’s shareholders. Thus, Zindel
Zelmanovitch negotiated with Roran to provide a loan or loans to fund reasonable expenses of the Company, on arm’s length terms,
so long as progress was being made to reorganize the Company and to identify either (i) a new business to enter into; or, (ii) an active
business with which to merge or otherwise acquire, which would benefit from operating as a public entity. The New Board (Zindel Zelmanovitch)
has continued to work toward achieving that goal. With no assets and no SBIC license from the SBA, no income, and liabilities in excess
of $10,000,000 (which has now been forgiven in full, as stated below), the New Board (Zindel Zelmanovitch) concluded that continuing
to operate as a registered investment company was impossible; furthermore, the consistent feedback from third parties with which the
New Board has sought to consummate a transaction to commence a new business or acquire or merge a new business into the Company has been
that until the Company’s Application Pursuant to Section 8(f) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 for an order declaring that
the Company has ceased to be an Investment Company is approved, no such transaction was feasible. On April 22, 2020, the SEC issued an
order declaring that the Company had ceased to be an investment company.
Since
the entry of the Final Order (June 28, 2017) and the termination of the Receivership, the Company has been maintained for the benefit
of its shareholders and pursuant to, and in compliance with, the Final Order. The Company has no assets, and the Company no longer has
the SBIC license from the SBA. The Company is no longer operating as a registered investment company under the Investment Company Act.
While it would have been possible for the Company to merely dissolve, the Company has instead decided to endeavor to reconstitute itself
as a viable business. The Company has engaged and intends to continue to engage, qualified professionals and personnel to bring the Company
current in its SEC filings and audits. The Company filed a Form 10-K for the period ending June 30, 2017 and has subsequently timely
filed all periodic reports on Forms 10-Q and Forms 10-K.
2
The
Company’s outstanding judgment payable owed to the SBA was purchased by Roran from the SBA in July 2017. As such, all amounts due
under the outstanding judgment payable were owed to Roran rather than the SBA. Upon purchase, the Company began to accrue interest that
was due under the original terms of the judgment payable. The statutory interest rate was 0.094%. The Company accrued $163,991 in interest
on the judgment payable as of March 31, 2019. On May 16, 2019, Roran forgave the entire principal amount and interest due thereon of
$10,609,635.
On
September 19, 2017, the Company issued a Convertible Promissory Note in an amount up to $150,000 in favor of Roran which was increased
to $200,000 on June 17, 2019 and $250,000 on December 13, 2019 (the “ Note ”), and as of June 30, 2021, $149,838 has
been drawn by the Company under the Note (exclusive of accrued interest). The Note was issued pursuant to a Convertible Loan Agreement
with Roran (the “ Loan Agreement ”). All outstanding principal and accrued interest on the Note is due and payable on
the maturity date, which was March 19, 2019 and then extended to September 19, 2019 and then June 19, 2020. Roran has agreed to extend
the loan and advance additional funds until further negotiations regarding the loan have concluded. Amounts borrowed under the Note bear
interest at 12% per annum. Roran has the right to convert all or any portion of the Note into shares of the Company’s common stock
at a conversion price equal to 60% of the 20 day trailing lowest share price. The use of proceeds of this loan has been and continues
to be the payment by the Company of its reasonable operational expenses payable to third-party service providers (consisting solely of
third party expenses such as legal, accounting, transfer agent and edgarization costs, all at the actual cost for such services). The
loan is not a senior or a secured instrument.
On
June 8, 2020, Roran converted $124,500 principal amount of its promissory note with the Company and $25,500 of accrued and unpaid interest
thereon, totaling $150,000, into 4,166,666 shares of Company Common Stock at the stated conversion price per share of $0.036. The remaining
balance due on the promissory note, as of the conversion date, was $104,838 in principal and $19,988 in interest.
The
Company is currently authorized to issue twenty-five thousand (25,000) shares of preferred stock, with a par value of $1.00 per share.
There are zero (0) shares of preferred stock issued. The Company is also authorized to issue ten million (10,000,000) shares of common
stock, with a par value of $1.00 per share. As of June 30, 2021, and currently, 6,082,214 shares of common stock of the Company were
outstanding. These shares are quoted over the counter with Pink OTC Markets Inc. under the ticker symbol “WSCC” and are held
by 23 shareholders of record as of June 9, 2021. The Company does not have any other equity securities outstanding.
Current
Business Strategy and Operations
The
Company continues to explore options to either (i) enter into a new business, or, (ii) merge with, or otherwise acquire, an active business
that would benefit from operating as a public entity. The New Board continues to search to identify the best possible candidate(s) in
order to provide value to the shareholders of the Company. On April 22, 2020, the SEC issued an order declaring that the Company had
ceased to be an investment company. The Company voluntarily files annual, quarterly, and current reports with the SEC pursuant to the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The Company will continue to list its common stock on the
Pink OTC Markets for the benefit of its shareholders. As a result of these efforts, the Company is and holds itself out as being engaged
primarily in the business of seeking either (i) a new business to enter into; or, (ii) merger or acquisition candidates, which would
benefit from being public.
3
Our
Business
We
are a shell company as that term is defined under federal securities laws. Our business plan is to seek (i) a new business to enter into;
or, (ii) acquire assets or shares of an entity actively engaged in the business that generates revenues in exchange for our securities.
We will not restrict our search to any specific business, industry, or geographical location, and we may participate in a business venture
of virtually any kind or nature. This discussion of our new business is purposefully general and is not meant to be restrictive of our
virtually unlimited discretion to search for and enter potential business opportunities. Management anticipates that it may be able to
participate in only one potential business venture because we have nominal assets and limited financial resources. This lack of diversification
should be considered a substantial risk to our shareholders because it will not permit us to offset potential losses from one venture
against gains from another.
Plan
of Operations
We
currently plan to investigate and, if such investigation warrants, either (i) enter into a new business; or, (ii) acquire assets or shares
of an entity actively engaged in business and which is seeking the perceived advantages of being a publicly held corporation. Our principal
business objective for the next 12-months and beyond will be to achieve long-term growth potential through either entering into a new
business or a combination with an existing business, rather than immediate, short-term earnings. We will not restrict our search for
potential candidate target companies to any specific business, industry, or geographical location and, thus, may acquire, or enter into,
any type of business.
The
analysis of new business opportunities will be undertaken by or under the supervision of the New Board. We have not entered into any
material definitive agreement with any party. In our efforts to analyze and evaluate a prospective target business, we will consider
several factors, including, without limitation, the following:
●
experience and skill of
management and availability of additional personnel of the target business;
●
costs associated with effecting
the business combination;
●
equity interest retained
by our shareholders in the merged entity;
●
growth potential of the
target business;
●
capital requirements of
the target business;
●
capital available to the
target business;
●
stage of development of
the target business;
●
proprietary features and
degree of intellectual property or other protection of the target business;
●
the financial statements
of the target business; and
●
the regulatory environment
in which the target business operates.
4
The
foregoing criteria are not intended to be exhaustive, and any evaluation relating to the merits of a particular target business will
be based, to the extent relevant, on the above factors, as well as other considerations we deem relevant. In connection with our evaluation
of a prospective target business, we anticipate that we will conduct a due diligence review which will encompass, among other things,
meeting with incumbent management as well as a review of financial, legal and other information.
The
time and costs required to select and evaluate a target business (including conducting a due diligence review) and to structure and consummate
the business combination (including negotiating and documenting relevant agreements and preparing requisite documents for filing pursuant
to applicable corporate and securities laws) cannot be determined at this time. Our sole officer and director intend to devote only a
very small portion of his time to our affairs, and, accordingly, the consummation of a business combination may require a longer time
than if he devoted his full time to our affairs. However, he will devote such time as he deems reasonably necessary to carry out our
business and affairs. The amount of time devoted to our business and affairs may vary significantly depending upon, among other things,
whether we have identified a target business or are engaged in the active negotiation of a business combination.
We
anticipate that various prospective target businesses will be brought to our attention from various sources, including securities broker-dealers,
investment bankers, venture capitalists, bankers, and other members of the financial community, including, possibly, Roran.
Various
impediments to a business combination or an entry into a new business may arise, such as appraisal rights afforded the shareholders of
a target business under the laws of its state of the organization. This may prove to be a deterrent to a particular combination.
The
way we participate in an opportunity will depend upon the nature of the opportunity, our respective needs and desires as well as those
of the promoters of the opportunity, and the relative negotiating strength of ourselves and such promoters.
It
is likely that we will acquire our participation in a business opportunity through the issuance of common stock or other securities.
Although the terms of any such transaction cannot be predicted, it should be noted that in certain circumstances the criteria for determining
whether or not an acquisition is a so-called “tax-free” reorganization under Section 368(a)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), depends upon the issuance to the shareholders of the acquired company of at least 80% of
the common stock of the combined entities immediately following the reorganization. If a transaction were structured to take advantage
of these provisions rather than other “tax-free” provisions provided under the Code, all prior shareholders would, in such
circumstances, retain 20% or less of the total issued and outstanding shares. Under other circumstances, depending upon the relative
negotiating strength of the parties, prior shareholders may retain substantially less than 10% of the total issued and outstanding shares.
This could result in substantial additional dilution to the equity of those who were our shareholders prior to such reorganization.
Our
present shareholders will likely not have control of a majority of our voting shares following a reorganization transaction. As part
of such a transaction, our current director may resign, and new directors may be appointed without any vote by shareholders.
In
the case of an acquisition, the transaction may be accomplished upon the sole determination of our management without any vote or approval
by shareholders. In the case of a statutory merger or consolidation directly involving our Company, it will likely be necessary to call
a shareholders’ meeting and obtain the approval of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares. The necessity to obtain
such stockholder approval may result in delay and additional expense in the consummation of any proposed transaction and will also give
rise to certain appraisal rights to dissenting shareholders. Most likely, management will seek to structure any such transaction so as
not to require stockholder approval, if possible.
It
is anticipated that the investigation of specific business opportunities and the negotiation, drafting, and execution of relevant agreements,
disclosure documents, and other instruments will require substantial management time and attention and substantial cost for accountants,
attorneys, and others. If a decision is made not to participate in a specific business opportunity, the costs theretofore incurred in
the related investigation would not be recoverable. Furthermore, even if an agreement is reached for the participation in a specific
business opportunity, the failure to consummate that transaction may result in our loss of the related costs incurred.
5
During
the year ended June 30, 2021, we did not engage in any business activities that provided us with positive cash flows. As such, the costs
of investigating and analyzing business combinations for the next 12-months and beyond will be paid with funds raised through other sources,
which may not be available on favorable terms, if at all. The Company, at this time, does not intend to obtain funds in one or more private
placements to finance the operation of any acquired business opportunity until the Company has successfully consummated such a merger
or acquisition or entered into a new business. Instead, the Company intends to borrow money to finance ongoing operations.
Government
Regulations
The
Company is no longer a registered investment company.
The
Company’s common stock is a “penny stock,” as defined in Rule 3a51-1 under the Exchange Act. 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 that 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. In addition, the penny stock rules require that the broker-dealer, not otherwise exempt from such rules, must make a special
written determination that the penny stock is suitable for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction.
These disclosure rules have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for a stock that becomes subject
to the penny stock rules. So long as the Company’s common stock is subject to the penny stock rules, it may be more difficult to
sell our common stock.
Patents,
Trademarks, Franchises, Royalty Agreements or Labor Contracts
We
have no current plans for any registrations such as patents, trademarks, copyrights, franchises, concessions, royalty agreements, or
labor contracts. We will assess the need for any copyright, trademark, or patent applications on an ongoing basis.
Competition
The
Company will remain an insignificant participant among the firms which engage in the acquisition of business opportunities. There are
many established venture capital and financial concerns that have significantly greater financial and personnel resources and technical
expertise than the Company. Given the Company’s extremely limited financial resources and limited management availability, the
Company will continue to be at a significant competitive disadvantage compared to the Company’s competitors.
Employees
The
Company currently has no employees. It is the sole officer, who is also the director, will manage the business of the Company. The sole
officer and director may join the Company as an employee in the future. The Company does not anticipate a need to engage any full-time
employees at this time.

Available
Information
The
Company expects to continue to file annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K, proxy
statements and other information with the SEC. Any materials filed by the Company with the SEC may be read and copied at the SEC’s
Public Reference Room at 100 F Street, NE, Washington, D.C. 20549. Information on the operation of the SEC’s Public Reference Room
is available by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. The SEC maintains a website that contains annual, quarterly and current reports, proxy
statements and other information that issuers (including the Company) file electronically with the SEC. The Internet address of the SEC’s

ITEM 1A.
RISK FACTORS
You
should carefully consider the risks described below, together with the other information set forth in this report, which could materially
affect our business, financial condition, and future results. The risks described below are not the only risks facing our Company. Risks
and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business,
financial condition, and operating results.
Risks
Related to Our Business
We
have no recent operating history or basis for evaluating prospects.
We
currently have no operating business or immediate plans to develop one. We are seeking to enter into a merger or business combination
with another operating company or to enter into a new business. To date, our efforts have been limited to meeting our regulatory filing
requirements and searching for a business target.
We
have limited resources and no revenues from operations and will need additional financing in order to execute any business plan.
We
have limited resources, no revenues from operations to date, and our cash on hand will not be sufficient to satisfy our cash requirements
during the next twelve months. In addition, we will not achieve any revenues until, at the earliest, the consummation of a merger or
similar business combination and we cannot ascertain our capital requirements until such time. There can be no assurance that determinations
ultimately made by us will permit us to achieve our business objectives.
Our
business will have no revenues unless and until we merge with or acquire or start an operating business.
We
have no revenues from operations. We may not realize any revenues unless and until we successfully merge with or acquire an operating
business or start our own operations.
Since
the Company has no assets and no present source of revenues, we are dependent upon the financial support of Roran.
At
present, our business activities are limited to seeking potential business opportunities. Due to our limited financial and personnel
resources, there is only a limited basis upon which to evaluate our prospects for achieving our intended business objectives. We have
no assets and have no operating income, revenues, or cash flow from operations. Roran is providing us with funding, on an as-need basis,
under a loan arrangement, with amounts advanced limited to enabling us to continue our corporate existence and our business objective
to seek new business opportunities, as well as to fund the costs, including professional accounting and legal fees. The amount to be
loaned by Roran in the interim financing arrangement is limited to $250,000.
7
We
will be able to effect at most one merger or similar business combination or enter into just one new business and thus may not have a
diversified business.
Our
resources are limited, and we will most likely have the ability to effect only a single merger or similar business combination or enter
into a single new business. This probable lack of diversification will subject us to numerous economic, competitive and regulatory developments,
any or all of which may have a material adverse impact upon the particular industry in which we may operate after the consummation of
a merger. We will become dependent upon the development or market acceptance of a single or a limited number of products, processes,
or services.
We
depend substantially upon our chief executive officer to make all management decisions.
Our
ability to effect a merger or similar business combination or enter into a new business will be dependent upon the efforts of our sole
director and officer, Zindel Zelmanovitch. Notwithstanding the importance of Mr. Zelmanovitch, we have not entered into any employment
agreement or other understanding with Mr. Zelmanovitch concerning compensation or obtained any “key man” life insurance on
any of his life. The loss of the services of Mr. Zelmanovitch will have a material adverse effect on achieving our business objectives
and success. We will rely upon the expertise of Mr. Zelmanovitch and do not anticipate that we will hire additional personnel.
There
is competition for those private companies suitable for a business combination of the type contemplated by management.
We
are in a highly competitive market for a small number of business opportunities, which could reduce the likelihood of consummating a
successful business combination. We are and will continue to be an insignificant participant in the business of seeking mergers with
joint ventures with and acquisitions of small private and public entities. A large number of established and well-financed entities,
including small public companies and venture capital firms, are active in mergers and acquisitions of companies that may be desirable
target candidates for us. Nearly all these entities have significantly greater financial resources, technical expertise, and managerial
capabilities than we do; consequently, we will be at a competitive disadvantage in identifying possible business opportunities and successfully
completing a business combination. These competitive factors may reduce the likelihood of our identifying and consummating a successful
business combination.
Future
success is highly dependent on the ability of management to locate and attract a suitable target business opportunity.
The
nature of our operations is highly speculative. The success of our plan of operation will depend to a great extent on the operations,
financial condition, and management of the identified business opportunity. While management intends to seek business combination(s)
with entities having established operating histories, we cannot assure you that we will be successful in locating candidates meeting
that criterion. In the event we complete a business combination, the success of our operations may be dependent upon the management of
the successor firm or venture partner firm and numerous other factors beyond our control.
There
is no assurance of a business combination or other transaction.
No
assurances can be given that we will successfully identify and evaluate suitable business opportunities or that we will conclude a business
combination. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to negotiate a business combination on favorable terms, and there is consequently
a risk that funds allocated to the purchase of our shares will not be invested in a company with active business operations.
Management
will change upon the consummation of a business combination.
After
the closing of a merger or business combination, it is likely our current management will not retain any control or managerial responsibilities.
Upon such an event, Mr. Zelmanovitch intends to resign from his positions with us.
8
Current
shareholders will be immediately and substantially diluted upon a merger or business combination.
Our
Articles of Incorporation authorized the issuance of (i) twenty-five thousand (25,000) shares of preferred stock, with a par value of
$1.00 per share, of which none are issued; and, (ii) ten million (10,000,000) shares of common stock, with a par value of $1.00 per share,
of which a total of 6,082,214 shares have been issued. To the extent that additional shares of common stock are authorized and issued
in connection with a merger or business combination, our shareholders could experience significant dilution of their respective ownership
interests. Furthermore, the issuance of a substantial number of shares of common stock may adversely affect prevailing market prices,
if any, for the common stock and could impair our ability to raise additional capital through the sale of equity securities.
There
are relatively low barriers to becoming a blank check company or shell company, thereby increasing the competition for a small number
of business opportunities.
There
are relatively low barriers to becoming a blank check or shell company. A newly incorporated company with a single stockholder and sole
officer and director may become a blank check company or shell company by voluntarily subjecting itself to the SEC reporting requirements
by filing and seeking effectiveness of Form 10, thereby registering its common stock pursuant to Section 12(g) of the Securities and
Exchange Act of 1934 with the SEC. Assuming no comments to the Form 10 have been received from the SEC, that registration statement is
automatically deemed effective 60 days after filing the Form 10 with the SEC. The relative ease and low cost with which a company can
become a reporting blank check or shell company can increase the number of public companies seeking a business combination, thereby adding
further competition to an already highly competitive market for a limited number of businesses that will consummate a successful business
combination.
Our
management will only be able to devote a limited amount of time to seeking a target company or new business, which may adversely impact
our ability to identify a suitable acquisition candidate.
While
seeking a business combination or developing our business plan, management anticipates devoting only a limited amount of time to the
Company’s affairs in total. Our sole director and officer, Zindel Zelmanovitch, has not entered into a written employment agreement
with us and is not expected to do so in the foreseeable future. This limited commitment may adversely impact our ability to identify
and consummate a successful business combination. If we pursue a business combination or develop our plan of operations, we will need
to have increased management involvement. There is no assurance that we will be able to expand our management resources to implement
a business combination or business plan.
The
time and cost of preparing a private company to become a public reporting company may preclude us from entering into a merger or acquisition
with the most attractive private companies.
Target
companies that fail to comply with SEC reporting requirements may delay or preclude acquisition. The time and additional costs that may
be incurred by some target entities to prepare these statements may significantly delay or essentially preclude the consummation of an
acquisition. Otherwise, suitable acquisition prospects that do not have or are unable to obtain the required audited statements may be
inappropriate for acquisition.
Any
potential acquisition or a merger with a foreign company may subject us to additional risks.
If
we enter into a business combination with a foreign concern, we will be subject to risks inherent in business operations outside of the
United States. These risks include, for example, currency fluctuations, regulatory problems, punitive tariffs, unstable local tax policies,
trade embargoes, risks related to the shipment of raw materials and finished goods across national borders and cultural and language
differences. Foreign economies may differ favorably or unfavorably from the United States economy in growth of the gross national product,
rate of inflation, market development, rate of savings, and capital investment, resource self-sufficiency and balance of payments positions,
and in other respects.
9
Our
holdings are controlled by one shareholder which owns approximately 70% of our issued and outstanding stock.
70%
of our issued and outstanding common stock is controlled by Roran Capital, which is beneficially owned by Yitzhak Zelmanovitch, the son
of our sole officer and director, Zindel Zelmanovitch. As a result, Yitzhak Zelmanovitch can direct the affairs of the Company as the
majority shareholder and there is no assurance that any decisions made through a shareholder vote will be the same decisions that one
or more minority shareholders would make.
The
Company may be subject to certain tax consequences in our business, which may increase our cost of doing business.
We
may not be able to structure an acquisition to result in tax-free treatment for the companies or their shareholders, which could deter
third parties from entering into certain business combinations with us or result in being taxed on consideration received in a transaction.
Currently, a transaction may be structured to result in tax-free treatment to both companies, as prescribed by various federal and state
tax provisions. We intend to structure any business combination to minimize the federal and state tax consequences to both us and the
target entity; however, we cannot guarantee that the business combination will meet the statutory requirements of a tax-free reorganization
or that the parties will obtain the intended tax-free treatment upon a transfer of stock or assets. A non-qualifying reorganization could
result in the imposition of both federal and state taxes that may have an adverse effect on both parties to the transaction.
As
a blank check company, any registered offering of our securities will have to comply with Rule 419 under the Securities Act of 1933,
which could impact our ability to raise equity funds from investors.
In
the event we register an offering of our securities with the SEC while we are a blank check company, we will have to comply with Rule
419 under the Securities Act of 1933. Rule 419 is a cumbersome rule applicable to blank check companies selling penny stocks in a registered
offering. Rule 419 requires that the gross proceeds raised in such an offering be deposited into an escrow account with a financial institution
insured by the FDIC or in a separate bank account established by a registered broker or dealer in which the broker or dealer acts as
trustee for the persons having the beneficial interests in the account. Furthermore, Rule 419 requires the securities issued to investors
in the blank check offering be issued in the name of such investors, but certificates representing such securities must be deposited
into the escrow account instead of being delivered directly to investors, and the records of the escrow agent, maintained in good faith
and in the regular course of business, must show the name and interest of each party to the account. The initial registration statement
for the blank check offering shall disclose the specific terms of the offering, including, but not limited to, (i) the terms and provisions
of the escrow or trust agreement and the effect thereof upon the company’s right to receive funds and the effect of the escrow
or trust agreement upon the investor’s funds and securities required to be deposited into the escrow or trust account, including,
if applicable, any material risk of non-insurance of investors’ funds resulting from deposits in excess of the insured amounts;
and, (ii) the obligation of the company to provide, and the right of the purchaser to receive, information regarding an acquisition,
including the requirement that pursuant to Rule 419, investors confirm in writing their investment in the Company’s securities.
Rule 419 imposes certain additional disclosure obligations on companies making blank check offerings. Due to the requirements of Rule
419 and the fact that investors investing in blank check offerings have no idea if or when an acquisition or merger transaction will
occur, or if the acquisition or merger target is worthy of the investors’ money or risks, it may be difficult for the company to
complete a blank check offering successfully and even if the company is successful in raising funds in such an offering, it may not be
able to find an attractive acquisition or merger candidate. Therefore, investors in a blank check offering will have their funds at risk
for a prolonged period of time, and they may not be happy with the results of an acquisition or merger if one were to occur.
10
Risks
Related to Ownership of Our Common Stock
Our
common stock is a “penny stock” which may restrict the ability of shareholders to sell our common stock in the secondary
market.
The
SEC has adopted regulations which generally define “penny stock” to be an equity security that has a market price, as defined,
of less than $5.00 per share, or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions, including an exception
of equity security that is quoted on a national securities exchange. Our Common Stock is not quoted on a national exchange but is traded
on the OTC Marketplace Pink Sheets (the “Pink Sheets”). Thus, they are subject to rules that impose additional sales practice
requirements on broker-dealers who sell these securities. For example, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination
for the purchaser of such securities and have received the purchaser’s written consent to the transactions prior to the purchase.
Additionally, the rules require the delivery, prior to the transaction, of a disclosure schedule prepared by the SEC relating to the
penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered underwriter,
and current quotations for the securities, and, if the broker-dealer is the sole market maker, the broker-dealer must disclose this fact
and the broker-dealer’s presumed control over the market. Finally, among other requirements, monthly statements must be sent disclosing
recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks. The “penny
stock” rules may restrict the ability of our shareholders to sell our common stock in the secondary market.
Trading
in our securities could be subject to extreme price fluctuations that could adversely affect your investment.
Historically
speaking, the market prices for securities of small publicly traded companies have been highly volatile. Publicized events and announcements
may have a significant impact on the market price of our common stock. In addition, the stock market from time to time experiences extreme
price and volume fluctuations that particularly affect the market prices for small publicly traded companies and which are often unrelated
to the operating performance of the affected companies.
Because
we may seek to complete a business combination through a “reverse merger,” we may not be able to attract the attention of
major brokerage firms following such a transaction.
Additional
risks may exist since we may assist a privately held business to become public through a “reverse merger”. Securities analysts
of major brokerage firms may not provide coverage of our Company since there is no incentive to brokerage firms to recommend the purchase
of our common stock. No assurance can be given that brokerage firms will want to conduct any secondary offerings on behalf of our post-merger
Company in the future.
We
cannot assure you that following a business combination with an operating business or business start-up, our common stock will be listed
on any securities exchange higher than the Pink Sheets.
Although
our common stock is currently quoted on the Pink Sheet, securities quoted on this trading platform often lack liquidity and analyst coverage,
which may result in lower prices for our common stock than might be obtained in a larger, more established stock exchanges and may also
result in a larger spread between the bid and asked price for our common stock. Following a business combination or business start-up,
we may seek the listing of our common stock on NASDAQ or any other exchange, which represents a higher listing than the Pink Sheets.
However, we cannot assure you that we will be able to meet the initial listing standards of any of those, or that we will be able to
maintain a listing of our common stock on any stock exchange other than the Pink Sheets. Until our common stock is listed on the NASDAQ
or another stock exchange, we expect that our common stock would be eligible to continue to trade on the Pink Sheets, where our shareholders
may find it more difficult to dispose of shares or obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of our common stock. If a market
for our common stock does not develop or is not sustained, it may be difficult for our shareholders to sell their shares of common stock
at an attractive price or at all. In the absence of an active trading market for our common stock, shareholders may not be able to sell
their common stock at or above the price at which they acquired the shares or at the time that they would like to sell. We cannot predict
the prices at which our common stock will trade. In addition, we cannot assure you that we will be able to meet the initial listing standards
of any national securities exchange, or, if we do meet such initial qualitative listing standards, that we will be able to maintain any
such listing. In addition, we would be subject to an SEC rule that, if it failed to meet the criteria set forth in such rule, imposes
various practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell securities governed by the rule to persons other than established customers
and accredited investors. Consequently, such rule may deter broker-dealers from recommending or selling our common stock, which may further
affect its liquidity. This would also make it more difficult for us to raise additional capital following a business combination.
11
Liquidity
is limited, and we may be unable to obtain a listing of our common stock on a more liquid market.
Our
common stock is quoted on the Pink Sheets, which provides significantly less liquidity than a securities exchange (such as the American
or New York Stock Exchange) or an automated quotation system (such as the Nasdaq Global Market or Capital Market). There is the uncertainty
that we will ever be accepted for a listing on an automated quotation system or national securities exchange.
Substantial
sales of our common stock may impact the market price of our common stock.
Future
sales of substantial amounts of our common stock, including shares that we may issue upon exercise of options and warrants, and the resale
of shares by investors who have registration rights, could adversely affect the market price of our common stock. Furthermore, if we
raise additional funds through the issuance of common stock or securities convertible into our common stock, the percentage ownership
of our shareholders will be reduced, and the price of our common stock may fall.
We
do not expect to pay dividends for the foreseeable future, and investors must look solely to the stock appreciation for a return on their
investment in us.
We
have no plans to pay, and we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. We currently
intend to retain all future earnings to fund the development and growth of our business. Any payment of future dividends will be at the
discretion of our board of directors and will depend on, among other things, our earnings, financial condition, capital requirements,
level of indebtedness, statutory and contractual restrictions applying to the payment of dividends and other considerations that the
board of directors deems relevant. Investors may need to rely on sales of their common stock after price appreciation, which may never
occur, as the only way to realize a return on their investment. Investors seeking cash dividends should not purchase our common stock.
FINRA
sales practice requirements may also limit a shareholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.
In
addition to the “penny stock” rules described above, FINRA has adopted rules that require that in recommending an investment
to a customer, the broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior
to recommending low-priced, speculative 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, 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 make it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock,
which may limit your ability to buy and sell our stock and have an adverse effect on the market for our shares.
Our
publicly-filed reports are reviewed from time to time by the SEC, and any significant changes or amendments required as a result of any
such review may result in material liability to us and may have a material adverse impact on the trading price of our common stock.
The
reports and other securities filings of publicly-traded companies are subject to review by the SEC from time to time for the purpose
of assisting companies in complying with applicable disclosure requirements. The SEC is required, pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act
of 2002, to undertake a comprehensive review of a company’s reports at least once every three years, although an SEC review may
be initiated at any time. While we believe that our previously filed SEC reports comply, and we intend that all future reports will comply,
in all material respects with the published rules and regulations of the SEC, we could be required to modify, amend, or reformulate information
contained in our filings as a result of any SEC review. Any modification, amendment, or reformulation of information contained in such
reports could be significant and result in material liability to us and have a material adverse impact on the trading price of our common
stock.
We
may invest or spend our cash in ways with which you may not agree or in ways which may not yield a significant return.
Our
management has considerable discretion in the use of our cash. Our cash may be used for purposes that do not increase our operating results
or market value. Until the cash is used, it may be placed in investments that do not produce significant income or that may lose value.
The failure of our management to invest or spend our cash effectively could result in unfavorable returns and uncertainty about our prospects,
each of which could cause the price of our common stock to decline.

Information
About Our Common Stock
Our
shares are quoted on the Over-the-Counter Electronic Bulletin Board (OTCBB) in the Pink Sheets under the symbol “WSCC”. The
OTCBB is a regulated quotation service that displays real-time quotes, last sale prices, and volume information in over-the-counter securities.
The OTCBB is not an issuer listing service, market, or exchange. Although the OTCBB does not have any listing requirements per se, to
be eligible for quotation on the OTCBB issuers must remain current in their filings with the SEC or applicable regulatory authority.
Securities quoted on the OTCBB that become delinquent in their required filings will be removed following a 30 or 60 day grace period
if they do not make their required filing during that time. We cannot guarantee that we will continue to have the funds required to remain
in compliance with our reporting obligations.
Penny
Stock Rules
The
Securities and Exchange Commission has also adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny
stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national
securities exchanges or quoted on the NASDAQ system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions
in such securities is provided by the exchange or system).
A
purchaser is purchasing penny stock, which limits the ability to sell the stock. Our shares constitute penny stock under the Securities
and Exchange Act. The shares will remain penny stocks for the foreseeable future. The classification of penny stock makes it more difficult
for a broker-dealer to sell the stock into a secondary market, which makes it more difficult for a purchaser to liquidate his/her investment.
Any broker-dealer engaged by the purchaser for the purpose of selling his or her shares in us will be subject to Rules 15g-1 through
15g-10 of the Securities and Exchange Act. Rather than creating a need to comply with those rules, some broker-dealers will refuse to
attempt to sell penny stock.
The
penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, to deliver
a standardized risk disclosure document, which:
●
contains a description
of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stock in both public offerings and secondary trading;
14
●
contains a description
of the broker’s or dealer’s duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect
to a violation of such duties or other requirements of the Securities Act of 1934, as amended;
●
contains a brief, clear,
narrative description of a dealer market, including “bid” and “ask” price for the penny stock and the significance
of the spread between the bid and ask price;
●
contains a toll-free telephone
number for inquiries on disciplinary actions;
●
defines significant terms
in the disclosure document or the conduct of trading penny stocks; and
●
contains such other information
and is in such form (including language, type, size, and format) as the SEC shall require by rule or regulation.
The
broker-dealer also must provide, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, to the customer:
●
the bid and offer quotations
for the penny stock;
●
the compensation of the
broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction;
●
the number of shares to
which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock;
and
●
monthly account statements
showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account.
In
addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those 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 acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks, and
a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement. These disclosure requirements will have the effect of reducing the trading
activity in the secondary market for our stock because it will be subject to these penny stock rules. Therefore, shareholders may have
difficulty selling their securities.
Reports
We
will furnish annual financial statements to our shareholders, audited by our independent registered public accounting firm, and will
furnish un-audited quarterly financial statements in our quarterly reports filed electronically with the SEC. All financial statements

We
have no current plans to pay dividends. We currently anticipate that we will retain all of our future earnings, if any, for use in the
development and expansion of our business and for general corporate purposes. Any determination to pay dividends in the future will be

The
discussion in this section contains forward-looking statements. These statements relate to future events or our future financial performance.
We have attempted to identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “can,”
“continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,”
“potential,” “predict,” “should,” “would” or “will” or the negative of these
terms or other comparable terminology, but their absence does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. These statements are
only predictions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors, which could cause our actual results to differ
from those projected in any forward-looking statements we make. Several risks and uncertainties we face are discussed in more detail
under “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of this Annual Report, or in the discussion and analysis below. You should, however,
understand that it is not possible to predict or identify all risks and uncertainties, and you should not consider the risks and uncertainties
identified by us to be a complete set of all potential risks or uncertainties that could materially affect us. You should not place undue
reliance on the forward-looking statements we make herein because some or all of them may turn out to be wrong. We undertake no obligation
to update any of the forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect future events and developments, except as required by law.
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements, and the notes to those statements included elsewhere
in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Overview
The
Company was formed in the Commonwealth of Virginia on July 13, 1993, and was a closed-end investment company licensed by the SBA as an
SBIC. The Company previously made equity investments in and provided loans to small businesses to finance their growth, expansion, and
development. Under applicable SBA regulations, the Company was restricted to investing only in qualified small businesses as contemplated
by the Small Business Investment Act of 1958. As a registered investment company under the Investment Company Act, the Company’s
investment objective was to provide its shareholders with a high level of income, with capital appreciation as a secondary objective.
The Company made its first investment in a small business in October 1996.
In
May 2014, the Company effectively ceased operations. The Company consented to a court order appointing the SBA as receiver of the Company
for the purpose of marshaling and liquidating in an orderly manner all of the Company’s assets. That order also entered judgment
in favor of the United States of America, on behalf of the SBA, against the Company in the amount of $11,770,722. The SBA was appointed
receiver effective May 28, 2014.
Over
the course of the Receivership, the activity of the Company was limited to the liquidation of the Company’s assets by the receiver
and the payment of the proceeds therefrom to the SBA and for the expenses of the Receivership. The SBIC license granted to the Company
by the SBA was revoked by the SBA effective March 20, 2017. On June 28, 2017, the Receivership was terminated. The Final Order specifically
stated that “Control of Waterside shall be unconditionally transferred and returned to its shareholders c/o Roran Capital, LLC
(“Roran”) upon notification of entry of this Order”.

termination of the Receivership, Roran took possession of all books and records made available to it by the SBA. With no assets and no
SBIC license from the SBA, no income, and liabilities in excess of $10,000,000, it became clear to the Company that continuing to operate
as a registered investment company was impossible. Roran provided assurances that it would fund reasonable expenses of the Company so
long as progress was being made to reorganize the Company and seek a new business to undertake or to merge with an existing business.
The New Board has continued to work toward achieving that goal.
The
Company filed a Form 10-K for the period ended June 30, 2017 and subsequently has filed all Forms 10-Q and Forms 10-K in a timely fashion.
The Company also filed with the SEC an Application pursuant to Section 8(f) of the Investment Company Act of 1940 for an order declaring
that the Company has ceased to be a registered investment company. On April 22, 2020, the SEC issued an order declaring that the Company
had ceased to be an investment company.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
From
time-to-time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), or other standard-setting
bodies, relating to the treatment and recording of certain accounting transactions. Unless otherwise discussed herein, the management
of the Company has determined that these recent accounting pronouncements will not have a material impact on the financial position or
results of operations of the Company.
Critical
Accounting Policies
Critical
Accounting Policies and Significant Judgments and Estimates
Our
management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our financial statements,
which have been prepared in accordance with the U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. In preparing our financial statements,
we are required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
periods.
Critical
accounting estimates are estimates for which (a) the nature of the estimate is material due to the levels of subjectivity and judgment
necessary to account for highly uncertain matters or the susceptibility of such matters to change and (b) the impact of the estimate
on financial condition or operating performance is material.
These
significant accounting estimates or assumptions bear the risk of change due to the fact that there are uncertainties attached to these
estimates or assumptions, and certain estimates or assumptions are difficult to measure or value.
17
Management
bases its estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable in relation to the financial
statements taken as a whole under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values
of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.
Management
regularly evaluates the key factors and assumptions used to develop the estimates utilizing currently available information, changes
in facts and circumstances, historical experience, and reasonable assumptions. After such evaluations, if deemed appropriate, those estimates
are adjusted accordingly.
Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
While
our significant accounting policies are described in more detail in Note 2 of our annual financial statements included in this Annual
Report, we believe the following accounting policies to be critical to the judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial
statements:
Assumption
as a Going Concern
Management
assumes that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations, the realization of assets, and
liquidation of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. However, given our current financial position and lack of liquidity, there
is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Convertible
Financial Instruments
The
Company bifurcates conversion options from their host instruments and accounts for them as free-standing derivative financial instruments
if certain criteria are met. The criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative
instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument
that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under otherwise applicable
generally accepted accounting principles with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument
with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument. An exception to this rule is when
the host instrument is deemed to be conventional, as that term is described under applicable GAAP.
When
the Company has determined that the embedded conversion options should not be bifurcated from their host instruments, discounts are recorded
for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in the instruments based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying
common stock at the commitment date of the transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the instrument.
Beneficial
Conversion Feature
The
issuance of the convertible debt issued by the Company (described in Note 3 to the Financial Statements) generated a beneficial conversion
feature (“BCF”), which arises when a debt or equity security is issued with an embedded conversion option that is beneficial
to the investor or in the money at inception because the conversion option has an effective strike price that is less than the market
price of the underlying stock at the commitment date. The Company recognized the BCF by allocating the intrinsic value of the conversion
option, which is the number of shares of common stock available upon conversion multiplied by the difference between the effective conversion
price per share and the fair value of common stock per share on the commitment date, resulting in a discount on the convertible debt
(recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital).
18
Deferred
Tax Assets and Income Taxes Provision
The
Company adopted the provisions of paragraph 740-10-25-13 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. Paragraph 740-10-25-13 which
addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial
statements. Under paragraph 740-10-25-13, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more
likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the
position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit
that has a greater than fifty percent (50%) likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Paragraph 740-10-25-13 also provides
guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest, and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires increased
disclosures. The Company had no material adjustments to its liabilities for unrecognized income tax benefits according to the provisions
of paragraph 740-10-25-13.
The
estimated future tax effects of temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities are reported in the accompanying
balance sheets, as well as tax credit carry-backs and carry-forwards. The Company periodically reviews the recoverability of deferred
tax assets recorded on its balance sheets and provides valuation allowances as management deems necessary.
Management
makes judgments as to the interpretation of the tax laws that might be challenged upon an audit and cause changes to previous estimates
of tax liability. In addition, the Company operates within multiple taxing jurisdictions and is subject to audit in these jurisdictions.
In management’s opinion, adequate provisions for income taxes have been made for all years. If actual taxable income by tax jurisdiction
varies from estimates, additional allowances or reversals of reserves may be necessary.
Management
assumes that the realization of the Company’s net deferred tax assets resulting from its net operating loss (“NOL”)
carryforwards for Federal income tax purposes that may be offset against future taxable income was not considered more likely than not
and accordingly, the potential tax benefits of the net loss carry-forwards are offset by a full valuation allowance. Management made
this assumption based on (a) the Company has incurred recurring losses and presently has no revenue-producing business, (b) general economic
conditions, and (c) its ability to raise additional funds to support its daily operations by way of a public or private offering, among
other factors.

Revenues
and Gains
Since
there were no operations, the Company did not generate any revenues for the year ended June 30, 2021, and 2020. As part of the Receivership,
all of the Company’s revenue-generating assets were liquidated. We expect that the Company will not generate any revenue until
we can execute on our plan to enter into a new business or merge with or otherwise acquire another business. Even if we are successful
in closing such a transaction, there is still no assurance we will generate any revenue.
19
Expenses
The
Company did not conduct any active business; therefore, the Company had no direct costs associated with generating revenue.
Total
expenses for the year ended June 30, 2020, totaled $128,467. These expenses consisted primarily of legal and accounting and administrative
expenses for the Company’s filings with the SEC; and, interest expense.
Total
expenses for the year ended June 30, 2021, totaled $116,662. These expenses consisted primarily of legal and accounting and administrative

Personnel
The
Company had no employees for the years ended June 30, 2021, and June 30, 2020. Any expenses related to “personnel” were for
professional fees, consultants, and contractors engaged in maintaining the corporate existence of the Company.

Liquidity
and Capital Resources
On
June 30, 2021, and 2020, we had cash and cash equivalents of $44 and $12,625, respectively. On June 30, 2021, and 2020, we had a working
capital deficit of $208,324 and $121,662, respectively. For the year ended June 30, 2021, and through the date of this Annual Report,
we have faced an increasingly challenging liquidity situation that has severely hamstrung our ability to execute our operating plan.
We have no operating business, and we generate no revenue. While we are focused on identifying a new business to enter into, or merge
with or otherwise acquire an operating business, even those activities require capital. We also maintain our corporate existence and
remain current in our voluntary filings with the SEC. We will seek to borrow the needed capital from Roran and seek other sources for
capital. There is no assurance that our Company will be able to secure such funding on acceptable (or any) terms. During the year ended
June 30, 2021, and 2020, we reported a net loss from operations of $116,662 and $128,467, respectively.
We
had negative cash flows from operating activities totaling $57,581 for the period ending June 30, 2021. Combined with a beginning cash
balance of $12,625 as of July 1, 2020, and $45,000 proceeds from the convertible note, we had a negative net decrease in cash during
2021 of $(12,581).
As
of June 30, 2021, we had assets of cash of $44 and no other assets. As of June 30, 2021, we had liabilities of $208,368. The Company’s
accumulated deficit was $17,930,352.
20
Unless
the Company can enter into or acquire a viable business and attract additional investment, the future of the Company operating as a going
concern is in substantial doubt.
We
voluntarily file annual, quarterly, and current reports with the SEC pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
“Exchange Act”). In addition, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“Sarbanes-Oxley”) and the rules subsequently implemented
by the SEC and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board have imposed various requirements on public companies, including requiring
changes in corporate governance practices. We expect these rules and regulations to increase our legal and financial compliance costs
and to make some activities of ours more time- consuming and costly.
Management
has determined that additional capital will be required in the form of equity or debt securities. There is no assurance that management
will be able to raise capital on terms acceptable to the Company. If we are unable to obtain sufficient amounts of additional capital,
we may have to cease filing the required reports and cease operations completely. If we obtain additional funds by selling any of our
equity securities or by issuing common stock to pay current or future obligations, the percentage ownership of our shareholders will
be reduced, shareholders may experience additional dilution, or the equity securities may have rights preferences or privileges senior
to the common stock.
Going
Concern
As
reflected in the financial statements, the Company had an accumulated deficit at June 30, 2021. The Company also effectively ceased business
operations in May 2014 upon the appointment of the SBA as the receiver and the commencement of the Receivership. Over the course of the
Receivership, the activity of the Company was limited to the liquidation of the Company assets and the payment of proceeds to the SBA
and the costs of the Receivership.
The
ability of the Company to re-commence its operations in the future is dependent on the plans of the Company’s management, which
will include the raising of capital through debt and/or equity markets, until such time that funds provided by operations are sufficient
to fund working capital requirements and the acquisition of a viable business. The Company may need to incur additional liabilities with
certain related parties to sustain the Company’s existence. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise any
additional capital or acquire a viable entity to continue its business or enter into a new business.
Our
independent registered public accounting firm, in its report for the year ended June 30, 2021, has expressed substantial doubt about
our ability to continue as a going concern. Our plan regarding these matters is to raise additional debt and/or equity financing to allow
us the ability to cover our current cash flow requirements and meet our obligations as they become due. There can be no assurances that
financing will be available or, if available, that such financing will be available under favorable terms. In the event that we are unable
to generate adequate revenues to cover expenses and cannot obtain additional financing in the near future, we may seek protection under
bankruptcy laws. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization
of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
There
are no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition,
changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that
are material to investors.
Management’s
Plans
Our
plan is to seek, investigate, and consummate a merger or other business combination, purchase of assets or other strategic transaction
(i.e. a merger) with a corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other operating business entity, or enter into a new business
(collectively, a “Business Target”) desiring the perceived advantages of becoming a publicly reporting and publicly held
corporation. We have no operating business, and conduct minimal operations necessary to meet regulatory requirements. Our ability to
re-commence any operations is contingent upon obtaining adequate financial resources.
21
We
are not currently engaged in any business activities that provide cash flow. The costs of investigating and analyzing business combinations
for the next 12 months and beyond such time will be paid with money borrowed from Roran, should negotiations with Roran on an extension
of the Roran Note be successful.
During
the next twelve months, we anticipate incurring costs related to (i) filing of Exchange Act reports; and, (ii) identifying and consummating
a transaction with a Business Target.
We
believe we will be able to meet these costs through use of funds borrowed from Roran, or other amounts to be loaned to or invested in
us by other investors.
We
may consider a business which has recently commenced operations, is a developing company in need of additional funds for expansion into
new products or markets, is seeking to develop a new product or service, or is an established business which may be experiencing financial
or operating difficulties and is in need of additional capital. In the alternative, a business combination may involve the acquisition
of, or a merger with, a company which does not need substantial additional capital, but which desires to establish a public trading market
for its shares, while avoiding, among other things, the time delays, significant expense, and loss of voting control which may occur
in a public offering.

REPORT
OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To
the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Waterside Capital Corporation
Opinion
on the Financial Statements
We
have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Waterside Capital Corporation (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2021 and 2020,
and the related statements of loss, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended June 30,
2021, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended on June 30, 2021, in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.
Going
Concern
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note
1 to the financial statements, the Company has experienced liquidity issues and does not have working capital. The Company’s
has no active business to generate cash flows to repay its current and future obligations. These conditions raise substantial doubt
about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Further information and management’s plans in regard to
this uncertainty are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the
outcome of this uncertainty.
Basis
for Opinion
These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s
financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal
securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We
conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company
is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits,
we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion
on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our
audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error
or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical
Audit Matter
The
critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that was communicated
or required to be communicated to the board of directors and that (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial
statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of the critical audit matter
does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit
matter below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
Accounting
for Complex Debt Transactions—Refer to Note 3 to the Financial Statements
Critical
Audit Matter Description
The
Company has an outstanding convertible promissory note with Roran Capital LLC and during the current year, the Company borrowed additional
funds under the convertible promissory note. The embedded conversion feature allows the outstanding debt and interest obligations to
be converted to common stock at a fixed discount rate to the trading value of the Company’s common stock. Such hybrid instruments
require the embedded conversion feature to be analyzed if it meets the criteria for bifurcation to be separately accounted for as a derivative
financial instrument. If the embedded conversion feature is not bifurcated, the intrinsic value of the conversion option is calculated
to determine the debt discount associated with the conversion feature.
The
evaluation of whether the embedded conversion feature should be bifurcated from the host debt contract and separately accounted for as
a derivative financial instruments is highly complex. The related audit effort in evaluating management’s analysis of the correct
application of the accounting literature in U.S. GAAP was extensive and required a high degree of auditor judgment.
How
the Critical Audit Matter was Addressed in the Audit
We
obtained management’s analysis of applicable accounting guidance related to the determination if the embedded conversion feature
should be bifurcated and accounted for separately. We reviewed the applicable accounting literature for debt and derivatives, noting the
conclusions reached by management that the embedded conversion feature should not be separately treated as a derivative financial instrument
were consistent with U.S. GAAP.
● We
obtained management’s calculation of the intrinsic value of the embedded conversion
feature that was recorded as a debt discount based on the funds provided and recalculated
the intrinsic value.
● We
traced the amounts borrowed into the Company’s bank statements.
● We
confirmed the overall outstanding debt balance with the creditor.
● We
agreed the amount recorded into additional paid-in capital to the debt discount recorded.
● We
tested that the amortization of the debt discount recorded to interest expense was correct.

TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE
30, 2021
NOTE
1 – ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS
Waterside
Capital Corporation (the “Company”) was incorporated in the Commonwealth of Virginia on July 13, 1993 and was a closed-end
investment company licensed by the Small Business Administration (the “SBA”) as a Small Business Investment Company (“SBIC”).
The Company previously made equity investments in, and provided loans to, small businesses to finance their growth, expansion, and development.
Under applicable SBA regulations, the Company was restricted to investing only in qualified small businesses as contemplated by the Small
Business Investment Act of 1958. As a registered investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment
Company Act”), the Company’s investment objective was to provide its shareholders with a high level of income, with capital
appreciation as a secondary objective. The Company made its first investment in a small business in October 1996.
On
May 28, 2014, with the Company’s consent, the court having jurisdiction over the action filed by the SBA (the “ Court ”)
entered a Consent Order and Judgment Dismissing Counterclaim, Appointing Receiver, Granting Permanent Injunctive Relief and Granting
Money Judgment (the “ Order ”). The Order appointed the SBA receiver of the Company for the purpose of marshaling and
liquidating in an orderly manner all of the Company’s assets and entered judgment in favor of the United States of America, on
behalf of the SBA, against the Company in the amount of $ 11,770,722 . The Court assumed jurisdiction over the Company, and the SBA was
appointed receiver effective May 28, 2014.
The
Company effectively stopped conducting an active business upon the appointment of the SBA as the receiver, and the commencement of the
court-ordered receivership (the “ Receivership ”). Over the course of the Receivership the activity of the Company was
limited to the liquidation of the Company’s assets by the receiver and the payment of the proceeds therefrom to the SBA and for
the expenses of the Receivership. On June 28, 2017, the Receivership was terminated with the entry of a Final Order by the Court. The
Final Order specifically stated that “Control of Waterside shall be unconditionally transferred and returned to its shareholders
c/o Roran Capital, LLC (“Roran”) upon notification of entry of this Order”. Upon termination of the Receivership Roran
took possession of all books and records made available to it by the SBA.
The
Company has no operating assets of any value, and the Company no longer has the SBIC license from the SBA. On April 22, 2020, the SEC
issued an order declaring that the Company had ceased to be an investment company. The Company will now seek to either (i) enter into
a new business; or, (ii) merge with, or otherwise acquire, an active business which would benefit from operating as a public entity,
and has undertaken a search to identify the best possible candidate(s) in order to provide value to the shareholders of the Company.
Going
Concern
The
accompanying financial statements of our Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States. The Company effectively ceased operations, and it continues to have net losses through the date of these financial statements.
Our financial statements have been presented on the basis that our business is a going concern, which contemplates the realization of
assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. We are subject to the risks and uncertainties associated
with a business with no operating business or assets and no revenue, as well as limitations on our operating capital resources. We have
incurred operating losses and negative operating cash flows since the Receivership, and we expect to continue to incur operating losses
and negative operating cash flows at least through the near future. Roran, which is a related party to the Company, has previously agreed
to loan our Company funds to meet our most critical cash requirements. For further discussion of the Roran loan, see Notes 3 and
4.

As
a result of the aforementioned factors, management has concluded that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going
concern. Our independent registered public accounting firm, in its report on our 2021 financial statements, raised substantial doubt
about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements as of and for the year ended June 30, 2021, do not contain
any adjustments for this uncertainty.
NOTE
2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Fiscal
Year-End
The
Company elected June 30 th as its fiscal year-end date.
Use
of Estimates and Assumptions and Critical Accounting Estimates and Assumptions
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
periods.
These
significant accounting estimates or assumptions bear the risk of change due to the fact that there are uncertainties attached to these
estimates or assumptions, and certain estimates or assumptions are difficult to measure or value.
Management
bases its estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable in relation to the financial
statements taken as a whole under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values
of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.
Management
regularly evaluates the key factors and assumptions used to develop the estimates utilizing currently available information, changes
in facts and circumstances, historical experience and reasonable assumptions. After such evaluations, if deemed appropriate, those estimates
are adjusted accordingly.
Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
Convertible
Financial Instruments
The
Company bifurcates conversion options from their host instruments and accounts for them as free standing derivative financial instruments
if certain criteria are met. The criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative
instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument
that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under otherwise applicable
generally accepted accounting principles with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument
with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument. An exception to this rule is when
the host instrument is deemed to be conventional, as that term is described under applicable GAAP.
When
the Company has determined that the embedded conversion options should not be bifurcated from their host instruments, discounts are recorded
for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in the instruments based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying
common stock at the commitment date of the transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the instrument.
Beneficial
conversion feature – The issuance of the convertible debt described in Note 3 generated a beneficial conversion feature
(“BCF”), which arises when a debt or equity security is issued with an embedded conversion option that is not bifurcated
and is beneficial to the investor or in the money at inception because the conversion option has an effective strike price that is less
than the market price of the underlying stock at the commitment date. The Company recognized the BCF by allocating the intrinsic value
of the conversion option, which is the number of shares of common stock available upon conversion multiplied by the difference between
the effective conversion price per share and the fair value of common stock per share on the commitment date, resulting in a discount
on the convertible debt (recorded as a component of additional paid in capital). The BCF is amortized into interest expense over the
life of the related debt.
Related
Parties
The
Company follows subtopic 850-10 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) for the identification of related parties
and disclosure of related party transactions.

CAPITAL CORPORATION
NOTES
TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE
30, 2021
The
financial statements shall include disclosures of material related party transactions, other than compensation arrangements, expense
allowances, and other similar items in the ordinary course of business. The disclosures shall include: (a) the nature of the relationship(s)
involved; (b) a description of the transactions, including transactions to which no amounts or nominal amounts were ascribed, for each
of the periods for which income statements are presented, and such other information deemed necessary to an understanding of the effects
of the transactions on the financial statements; (c) the dollar amounts of transactions for each of the periods for which income statements
are presented and the effects of any change in the method of establishing the terms from that used in the preceding period; and, (d)
amounts due from or to related parties as of the date of each balance sheet presented and, if not otherwise apparent, the terms and manner
of settlement.
Commitments
and Contingencies
The
Company follows ASC 450-20 to report accounting for contingencies. Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements
are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company, but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to
occur. Management assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing
loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or un-asserted claims that may result in such proceedings,
management evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or un-asserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount
of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.
If
the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability
can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s financial statements. If the assessment indicates
that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then
the nature of the contingent liability, and an estimate of the range of possible losses, if determinable and material, would be disclosed.
Loss
contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed.
Deferred
Tax Assets and Income Taxes Provision
The
Company adopted the provisions of ASC 740-10-25-13. ASC 740-10-25-13 which addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed
or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under ASC 740-10-25-13, the Company may recognize
the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination
by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from
such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent (50%) likelihood of being realized
upon ultimate settlement. ASC 740-10-25-13 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest, and penalties on income
taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures. The Company had no material adjustments to its liabilities for
unrecognized income tax benefits according to the provisions of ASC 740-10-25-13.
The
estimated future tax effects of temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities are reported in the accompanying
balance sheets, as well as tax credit carry-backs and carry-forwards. The Company periodically reviews the recoverability of deferred
tax assets recorded on its balance sheets and provides valuation allowances as management deems necessary.
Management
makes judgments as to the interpretation of the tax laws that might be challenged upon an audit and cause changes to previous estimates
of tax liability. In addition, the Company operates within multiple taxing jurisdictions and is subject to audit in these jurisdictions.
In management’s opinion, adequate provisions for income taxes have been made for all years. If actual taxable income by tax jurisdiction
varies from estimates, additional allowances or reversals of reserves may be necessary.

Tax
years that remain subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions are generally the prior three (3) years for federal purposes, and
the prior four (4) years for state purposes; however, as a result of the Company’s operating losses, all tax years remain subject
to examination by tax authorities.
Net
Income (Loss) Per Common Share
The
Company computes net income or loss per share in accordance with ASC 260 Earnings Per Share. Basic net income (loss) per share is computed
by dividing the net income (loss) available to common stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of shares of common
stock outstanding during the period. The calculation of diluted net income (loss) per share gives effect to common stock equivalents;
however, potential common shares are excluded if their effect is anti-dilutive.
Recently
Issued Accounting Pronouncements
From
time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB or other standard-setting bodies that are adopted by the Company as
of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, we believe that the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet
effective will not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations upon adoption.

NOTE
3 – NOTES PAYABLE
On
March 30, 2010, the SBA notified the Company that its account had been transferred to liquidation status and that the then outstanding
debentures of $ 16.1 million-plus accrued interest (the “Debentures”) were due and payable within fifteen days of the date
of the letter. The Company did not possess adequate liquid assets to make this payment. The Company negotiated terms of a settlement
agreement with the SBA effective September 1, 2010, which allowed the Company’s management to liquidate the portfolio so long as
there are no events of default. The Debentures were repurchased by the SBA in September 2010, represented by a Note Agreement between
the SBA and the Company. The Note Agreement had a maturity of March 31, 2013. In the event of a default, the SBA had the ability to seek
receivership.
On
May 24, 2012 the SBA delivered to the Company a notice of an event of default for failure to meet the principal repayment schedule under
the Note Agreement (the “ Notice ”). Under the terms of the Notice and the Note Agreement the SBA maintained a continuing
right to terminate the Note Agreement and appoint a receiver to manage the Company’s assets.
On
November 20, 2013 the SBA filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia seeking, among other
things, receivership for the Company and a judgment in the amount outstanding under the Note Agreement plus continuing interest. The
complaint alleged that as of October 31, 2013 there remained an outstanding balance of $ 11,762,634 under the Note Agreement, including
interest, which continued to accrue at the rate of $ 2,021 per day. The SBA, in filing the complaint, requested that the court take exclusive
jurisdiction of the Company and all of its assets wherever located and appoint the SBA as permanent receiver of the Company for the purpose
of liquidating all of the Company’s assets and satisfying the claims of its creditors in the order of priority as determined by
the court.
The
Company initially took steps to contest the legal action initiated by the SBA and to oppose the receivership action. On April 29, 2014
the Board of Directors of the Company, as then constituted (the “ Board ”), met to reconsider the decision to contest
the SBA’s legal action. In light of developments occurring since December of 2013, including projections of its portfolio companies
and discussions with the SBA, the Board determined, after consultation with and advice of its counsel, that it was not in the best interests
of the Company and its shareholders to continue to contest the legal action. The SBA was informed of this determination. The Board also
decided to consent to the receivership process.
On
May 28, 2014, with the Company’s consent, the court having jurisdiction over the action filed by the SBA (the “ Court ”)
entered a Consent Order and Judgment Dismissing Counterclaim, Appointing Receiver, Granting Permanent Injunctive Relief and Granting
Money Judgment (the “ Order ”). The Order appointed the SBA receiver of the Company for the purpose of marshaling and
liquidating in an orderly manner all of the Company’s assets and entered judgment in favor of the United States of America, on
behalf of the SBA, against the Company in the amount of $ 11,770,722 . Such amount represents $ 11,700,000 in principal and $ 70,722 in accrued
interest. The Court assumed jurisdiction over the Company and the SBA was appointed receiver effective May 28, 2014.
On
June 28, 2017, the Receivership was terminated and a final order entered by the Court provided Roran with control of the Company. As
of June 30, 2021, the Company’s outstanding judgment payable totaled $ 0 as the judgment has been satisfied in full.

NOTES
TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE
30, 2021
The
Company’s outstanding judgment payable owed to the SBA was purchased by Roran from the SBA in July 2017. As such, all amounts due
to the outstanding judgment payable were owed to Roran rather than the SBA. Upon purchase, the Company began to accrue interest that
was due under the original terms of the judgment payable. The statutory interest rate was 0.094 %. The Company satisfied the judgment
in full as Roran agreed to forgive the judgment and as of June 30, 2019, recognized a gain on extinguishment of debt of $ 10,584,254 ,
which is fully offset by NOLs for income tax purposes.
On
September 19, 2017, the Company issued a Convertible Promissory Note in an amount up to $ 150,000
in favor of Roran which was increased to $ 200,000
on June 17, 2019 and $ 250,000
on December 13, 2019 (the “ Note ”).
The Note was issued pursuant to a Convertible Loan Agreement with Roran (the “ Loan Agreement ”). All outstanding principal
and accrued interest on the Note
is due and payable on the maturity date, which was March 19, 2019 and then extended to September 19, 2019 and then June 19, 2020 and
a further extension is being negotiated. Amounts
borrowed under the Note bear interest at 12 %
per annum. Roran has the right to convert all or any portion of the Note into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion
price equal to 60 %
of the share price. As a result of the advances made pursuant to the Loan Agreement, the Company has incurred total obligations of $ 149,838
as of June 30, 2021 (exclusive of accrued interest).
During the year ended June 30, 2021, the total advances were $ 45,000 .
The Company recorded a BCF due the conversion option of $ 30,000 , and the unamortized balance at June 30, 2021 is $ 0 .
The amount is netted against the note payable balance as a debt discount with the corresponding entry to additional paid-in capital.
The debt discount has been amortized as interest expense through the maturity date.

CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS
WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
There
were no disagreements with our accountants on accounting or financial disclosure matters during 2021 and 2020, respectively. In the past
the Company was not required to engage an independent registered public accounting firm due to its status as a registered investment
company. Since the Company is no longer a registered investment company, it engaged the services of Haskell & White LLP in January
2017 to serve as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.
ITEM 9A.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Zindel
Zelmanovitch, our Chief Executive Officer (who is also our Chief Financial Officer), is also our Principal Executive Officer and Principal
Financial Officer. Mr. Zelmanovitch evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2021. The term
“disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the “Exchange Act”), means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required
to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported,
within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter
how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies
its judgment in evaluating the cost benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on its evaluation, management concluded
as of June 30, 2021 that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective because of material weaknesses in our internal control
over financial reporting, described below in Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Notwithstanding
the identified material weaknesses, management believes the financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K fairly represent
in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows at and for the periods presented in accordance
with U.S. GAAP.
Management’s
Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Mr.
Zelmanovitch, as our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate
internal control over financial reporting as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. An evaluation was performed
of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. The evaluation was based on the framework in 2013
Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”).
Because
of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of
any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions
or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Based
on our evaluation under the criteria set forth in 2013 Internal Control — Integrated Framework, our management concluded that,
as of June 30, 2021, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective because of the identification of material weaknesses
described as follows:
●
We did not have controls
designed to validate the completeness and accuracy of underlying data used in the determination of accounting transactions. As a
result, errors were identified in the underlying data used to support accounting transactions. Accordingly, we believe we have a
material weakness because there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement to the interim or annual financial statements
would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
●
We do not have written
documentation of our internal control policies and procedures. Written documentation of key internal controls over financial reporting
is a requirement of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act which is applicable to us. Management evaluated the impact of our failure
to have written documentation of our internal controls and procedures on our assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures
and has concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness.
35
●
We do not have sufficient
segregation of duties within accounting functions, which is a basic internal control. Due to our size and nature, segregation of
all conflicting duties may not always be possible and may not be economically feasible. However, to the extent possible, the initiation
of transactions, the custody of assets and the recording of transactions should be performed by separate individuals. Management
evaluated the impact of our failure to have segregation of duties on our assessment of our disclosure controls and procedures and
has concluded that the control deficiency that resulted represented a material weakness.
●
We have an inadequate number
of personnel with requisite expertise in the key functional areas of finance and accounting.
●
We do not have a functioning
audit committee or outside directors on our board of directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring
of required internal controls and procedures.
Remediation
Plan for Material Weaknesses in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management
of the Company is committed to improving its internal controls and subject to sufficient financial resources being available will (i)
continue to use third party specialists to address shortfalls in staffing and to assist the Company with accounting and finance responsibilities;
(ii) increase the frequency of independent reconciliations of significant accounts which will mitigate the lack of segregation of duties
until there is sufficient personnel; and, (iii) may consider appointing outside directors and audit committee members in the future.
Management
has discussed the material weaknesses noted above with our independent registered public accounting firm. Due to the nature of these
material weaknesses, it is reasonably possible that misstatements that could be material to the annual or interim financial statements
could occur that would not be prevented or detected during our financial close and reporting process.
This
annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial
reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to
temporary rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.
Changes
in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
There
have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange
Act or in other factors that materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls and procedures over
financial reporting during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2021.

we do not have a formal policy on diversity, our board of directors considers diversity to include the skill set, background, reputation,
type and length of business experience of our board of directors members, as well as, a particular nominee’s contributions to that
mix. Our board of directors believes that diversity brings a variety of ideas, judgments, and considerations that can benefit our shareholders
and us.
Stockholder
Communications
We
do not have a formal policy regarding communications with our board of directors, or for the consideration of director candidates recommended
by shareholders. To date, no shareholders have made any such recommendations.

Outstanding
Equity Awards At Fiscal Year-End

Director
Compensation
For
the years ended June 30, 2021, and 2020, there was no director compensation. At this time we have no plans to compensate our directors,
though that could change in the future.
Executive
Employment Agreements and Change-in-Control Arrangements
We
have not entered into employment agreements or change-in-control arrangements with any of our executive officers. Each of our executive
officers is an at-will employee, and their employment relationship with us may be terminated at any time.
Mr.
Zelmanovitch has agreed to work with no remuneration until such time as the Company receives sufficient revenues necessary to provide
management salaries. At this time, we cannot accurately estimate when sufficient revenues will occur to implement this compensation,
or what the amount of the compensation will be.
There
are no annuity, pension or retirement benefits proposed to be paid to officers, directors or employees in the event of retirement at
normal retirement date pursuant to any presently existing plan provided or contributed to by the Company or any of its subsidiaries if
any.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF
BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
The
following table provides information regarding the beneficial ownership of our common stock as of August 31, 2021, which is also
referred to herein as the “Evaluation Date”, by: (i) each person or group who is known by us to beneficially own more than
5% of our common stock; (ii) each of our current directors; (iii) each of our named executive officers as set forth in Item 11 of this
Annual Report; and, (iv) all such directors and executive officers as a group. The table is based upon information supplied by our officers,
directors and principal shareholders and a review of Schedules 13D and 13G, if any, filed with the SEC. Unless otherwise indicated in
the footnotes to the table and subject to community property laws where applicable, we believe that each of the shareholders named in
the table has sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares indicated as beneficially owned.
Applicable
percentages are based on 6,082,214 shares outstanding as of the Evaluation Date, adjusted as required by rules promulgated by the SEC.
These rules generally attribute beneficial ownership of securities to persons who possess sole or shared voting power or investment power
with respect to those securities. In addition, the rules include shares of our common stock issuable pursuant to the exercise of stock
options or warrants that are either immediately exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of the Evaluation Date. These shares are deemed
to be outstanding and beneficially owned by the person holding those options for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of
that person, but they are not treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS
AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
Certain
Relationships and Related Transactions
Our
sole executive officer and sole director is the father of Yitzhak Zelmanovitch, who is the manager of Roran.
The
Company’s outstanding judgment payable owed to the SBA was purchased by Roran from the SBA in July 2017. As such, all amounts due
under the outstanding judgment payable were owed to Roran rather than the SBA. Waterside satisfied the judgment in full on May 16, 2019
as Roran agreed to forgive the judgment.
On
September 19, 2017, the Company issued a Convertible Promissory Note in an amount up to $150,000 in favor of Roran which was increased
to $200,000 on June 17, 2019 and $250,000 on December 13, 2019 (the “ Note ”). The Note was issued pursuant to a Convertible
Loan Agreement with Roran (the “ Loan Agreement ”). All outstanding principal and accrued interest on the Note is due
and payable on the maturity date, which was March 19, 2019 and then extended to September 19, 2019 and then June 19, 2020 and a further
extension is being negotiated. Amounts borrowed under the Note bear interest at 12% per annum. Roran has the right to convert all or
any portion of the Note into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price equal to 60% of the share price.
On
June 8, 2020, Roran Capital converted $124,500 principal amount of its promissory note with Waterside Capital Corporation (the “Company”)
and $25,500 of accrued and unpaid interest thereon, totaling $150,000, into 4,166,666 shares of Company Common Stock at the stated conversion
price per share of $0.036. The remaining balance due on the promissory note, as of the conversion date, was $104,838 in principal and
$19,988 in interest, and the Company has not yet amended its Loan Agreement and Promissory Note with Roran Capital to extend the maturity
date, which expired on June 19, 2020.
Director
Independence
We
are not currently subject to listing requirements of any national securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system which has requirements
that a majority of the board of directors be “independent” and, as a result, we are not at this time required to have our
Board of Directors comprised of a majority of “independent directors”.
