−Removed: fixtures and ceiling fans can be installed in minutes, transforming the lighting fixture and ceiling fan devices into plug-and-play
−Removed: Professional electricians as well as “Do it Yourself”
−Removed: installers will benefit from our technology.
−Removed: SQL Technology is Underwriters Laboratories (UL), cUL and CE approved and achieved National Electrical Code (NEC) (or NFPA 70)
−Removed: status in 2017.
−Removed: SQL Technology is comprised of two parts:
−Removed: a ‘female’
−Removed: socket receptacle that is secured to existing electrical junction
−Removed: boxes, into which electrical and ground wires are simply inserted and secured into terminals on the device.
−Removed: The receptacle is
−Removed: easily attached to the junction box.
−Removed: The ‘male’
−Removed: plug fitting is preinstalled on a lighting fixture or ceiling fan.
−Removed: Lighting fixtures or ceiling fans with the SQL Technology can be literally installed in seconds.
−Removed: Our manufacturing plan calls
−Removed: for the SQL Technology to be pre-installed in all types of lighting fixtures, including holiday themed lighting, and ceiling fans.
−Removed: February 2015, we received an updated Underwriters Laboratories (UL) Listing for the SQL Technology, which expanded the type of
−Removed: products that we will be able to use with the SQL Technology.
−Removed: This listing expanded the voltage and amperage rating of our product
−Removed: and allows for additional fixtures, such as heating elements to be incorporated into our ceiling fans.
−Removed: have been working with several well-established factories producing ceiling fans and lights in Peoples Republic of China.
−Removed: if not all, of these factories have been in business for over 20 years and follow strict human rights and sustainability protocols.
−Removed: rely on a combination of copyright, trademark and trade secret laws as well as confidentiality procedures and contractual provisions
−Removed: to protect our proprietary technology and our brand.
−Removed: We enter into confidentiality and proprietary rights agreements with our
−Removed: employees, consultants and other third parties.

−Removed: from big box retailers, to achieve acceptance as a supplier and to provide retailers time to determine market demand for the GE
−Removed: labeled products (collectively, our “Business Model”).
−Removed: During the first quarter of 2010, the Company’s management
−Removed: took the first of several steps toward implementing our Business Model and discontinued marketing the SQL Technology solely as
−Removed: an add-on device.
−Removed: To further support the Company’s marketing
−Removed: efforts to its target market, it entered into a sales and marketing agreement with Design Solutions International, Inc.
−Removed: (“DSI”),
−Removed: a privately held, lighting industry design and marketing firm, which was acquired by NBG Home, a leading global designer, manufacturer
−Removed: and marketer of home décor products, in 2015.
−Removed: In the latter half of 2016, the Company took further steps to bolster its
−Removed: sales and marketing effort by hiring former General Electric electronic and lighting industry executives.

−Removed: Fans, LLC, a subsidiary of the Company, entered into a trademark licensing agreement (the “License Agreement”) under
−Removed: which SQL Lighting & Fans, LLC was licensed to use the GE monogram logo on its devices and certain other trademarks on its
−Removed: ceiling fans and light fixtures.
−Removed: The License Agreement was amended in April
−Removed: 2013 to extend its term through December 31, 2017 and to revise the required minimum license fees, and in July 2014 to remove minimum
−Removed: license fees for 2014.
−Removed: The License Agreement was further amended in August 2014 to, among other things, extend the term through
−Removed: November 30, 2018 and set forth a new royalty calculation beginning December 1, 2013 and continuing through the term of the License
−Removed: The current License Agreement provides that royalties due to GE will be tiered, based on a declining percentage as net
−Removed: sales increase in each Contract Year, paid quarterly, as follows:
−Removed: Sales in Contract Year
−Removed: as a Percentage of Net Sales
−Removed: - $50,000,000
−Removed: - $100,000,000

−Removed: The 2017 Stock Sales resulted in aggregate gross proceeds to

−Removed: Overview and Competition
−Removed: currently face competition from traditional lighting technologies.
−Removed: There are numerous traditional light manufacturing companies,
−Removed: worldwide, many of which are significantly larger than us.
−Removed: Traditional lighting technologies have the advantage of a long history
−Removed: of market acceptance and developed relationships with retailers and distributors.
−Removed: We will actively seek to educate our target
−Removed: markets as to the advantages of our technology compared to traditional installation methods and believe the achievement of this
−Removed: objective is critical to our future.
−Removed: Although our technology is proprietary, and patent protected, there can be no assurance that
−Removed: a large conventional lighting company will not invent a competing technology that offers similar installation efficiencies and
−Removed: enter the market and utilize its resources to capture significant market share and adversely affect our operating results.
−Removed: believe our products with the SQL Technology can effectively compete against traditional lighting in the areas of installation,
−Removed: maintenance and safety.
−Removed: The SQL Technology offers the advantage of ease of installation and replacement.
−Removed: This feature is superior
−Removed: to other lighting systems, which can require the service of professional electricians to install and remove.
−Removed: Once SQL’s
−Removed: socket is correctly installed in a ceiling or wall electrical junction box, there is no exposure to live electrical wires resulting
−Removed: in an additional advantage in safety.
−Removed: Furthermore, the installation of our socket, which weighs approximately four (4) ounces,
−Removed: requires significantly less work and exertion compared to traditional ceiling light or fan fixtures, which ordinarily weigh more
−Removed: than ten (10) pounds and can weigh hundreds of pounds.
−Removed: There can be no assurance, however, that the current competitors directly
−Removed: involved in this industry or a new competitor will not develop processes or technology which will allow them to decrease their
−Removed: costs, and consequently, erode our price advantage.
−Removed: is significant competition in the ceiling lighting and fan market place;
−Removed: however, we believe we have a competitive advantage due
−Removed: to the strength of the SQL Technology.
−Removed: This competitive advantage extends to customers both in the residential as well as the
−Removed: commercial markets.
−Removed: The SQL Technology is patented or trademarked in the United States of America, Canada, Mexico, Hong Kong,
−Removed: China, and Australia.
−Removed: The Company faces competitive forces from traditional approaches towards ceiling lighting and fans installations.
−Removed: While it is unclear whether SQL’s unique technology will gain significant market penetration, the Company believes that
−Removed: its safety and installation efficiency features will gain market acceptance since it significantly reduces the time necessary
−Removed: to install such fixtures and, after a one-time installation of the socket component, eliminates further exposure to electrical
−Removed: wires when used in conjunction with fixtures in which the plug is installed.
−Removed: further bolster the Company’s competitive position, the Company engaged the support of DSI, a lighting design and marketing
−Removed: firm whose existing customer base includes Walmart, Costco, The Home Depot, BJ’s Wholesale Club, Sam’s Club and other
−Removed: major retailers throughout North America.
−Removed: In 2015, DSI was acquired by NBG Home, a leading global designer, manufacturer and marketer
−Removed: of home décor products.
−Removed: Under the terms of the DSI Agreement, which remains in effect, DSI serves as the Company’s
−Removed: sales representative for all its products and goods in the United States and Canada.
−Removed: For its services, DSI receives a commission
−Removed: based on net sales.
−Removed: The Company’s products will also be sold through GE’s lighting sales group as a condition of it
−Removed: License Agreement.
−Removed: The Company’s recent addition of lighting and electronic sales and marketing professionals will further
−Removed: strengthen its distribution efforts to key retailers, in addition to launching a marketing program to commercial entities such
−Removed: as home builders and hotels.
−Removed: market our product to retailers and other customers who purchase large quantities of ceiling fans and lighting fixtures.
−Removed: This includes OEM manufactures, electrical distributors, large “big box”
−Removed: retailers, builders, hotels, casinos and
−Removed: industrial and commercial lighting and fan manufactures.
−Removed: believe that this market will benefit from the time saved in installing fixtures and the safety features achieved from the elimination
−Removed: of exposed electrical wires once the SQL Technology socket is installed in the junction box.
−Removed: As of March 31, 2018, we had Thirteen full time
−Removed: employees in the United States of America and six full time employees in the Peoples Republic of China.
−Removed: We also employ independent
−Removed: contractors to support our operations.
−Removed: We have never had a work stoppage, and none of our employees are represented by a labor
−Removed: We have not experienced any work stoppages and consider our relations with our employees to be good.
−Removed: salaried employees include the Company’s founder, Executive Chairman and Chairman of our Board, Rani Kohen, who serves as

−Removed: Retail Sales;
−Removed: purchase ceiling fans for early spring and summer sales.
−Removed: As a result, the Company sells more of this product in the October through
−Removed: February time period.
−Removed: The Company has begun to market lighting fixtures that will reduce the impact of seasonal influences to
−Removed: its sales growth, as lighting products do not lend themselves to seasonal purchases.
−Removed: During periods of economic expansion or contraction
−Removed: our sales by quarter may vary significantly from this seasonal pattern.
−Removed: Furthermore, the Company’s entry into the commercial
−Removed: sector of home and hotel building is expected to reduce the Company’s exposure to seasonality of its revenue creation.
