COMPANY VISION AND MODEL

Bitzio – Democratique. Similar to our closest comparable, Sequential Brands Group (Nasdaq: SQBG: $12), we will grow from a result of both performance and acquisitions over time.

SHARE STRUCTURE
Current Share Structure as of 12/03/2014
Outsanding Shares: 1,397,110,507
Authorized Shares: 4,200,000,000

Transfer Agent:
Interwest Transfer Company, Inc.
1981 Murray Holladay Road, Suite 100
Salt Lake City, UT 84117
801-272-9294

SHARE STRUCTURE COMMENTARY: Confirmed OS is 1.4 billion.

Lexi Luu received 300 million common shares in July share exchange.
Emotion received 350 million shares in July share exchange.
Ex Ceo's wife and other affiliate received 200 million shares for release of Lexi debts to the company in the July exchange agreement(not sure if they still hold or not but assuming they will look to liquidate if they haven't).

Note: CLEO VII in February was set up as subsidiary and did not have a share exchange agreement.

Angie Daza, Hub Blanchette, and Marilu Brassington all received 50 million shares which vest quarterly over 2 years. Means approximately 106 million of that is currently locked up. (See Officer Compensation)

My best guess here is we are looking at a float of roughly between 600 million to 800 million based on estimated current OS and assuming ex CEO's wife and affiliate unloaded their exchange agreement shares last year.

This is my best estimate taking into account variables so anyone who can find anything I'm missing please feel free to chime in.

REVENUES

Total revenue for the third quarter ended September 30, 2014 increased to approximately $208,000 Note:Q3 was a partial quarter due to acquisitions hitting in July

Our third quarter financial results reflect the first time in our history that we are able to report the consolidated fundamentals of our active brands under our new business model
Note: With only a partial quarter reported revenue potential is flying under the radar here.

Marilu Brassington, Chief Financial Officer of Bitzio, commented, “We expect to continue to see strength in the fourth quarter, and are working aggressively on building upon our foundation so that we may grow not only organically, but through strategic acquisitions. On the capital front, we have continued to finance our operations through convertible debentures, and are actively seeking alternative strategies to minimize the dilutive impact to our stakeholders, including ourselves as founders who contributed assets to the Company in return for common shares. We expect to communicate to our investors on a more regular basis.”

GROWTH OF CURRENT LINES
There is far more information in the PRs and on the individual sites much of which has been posted on the BTZO board. See posts below

CEO H. J. Blanchette, Bitzio continues the successful implementation of its business model, leveraging the strengths of its centralized organizational operations and distribution channels. Most recently, E-Motion Apparel, Inc joined Lexi Luu Designs in its partnership with Zulily.com, establishing a notable foundation for the brand's e-commerce presence. Additionally, to further consolidate resources, Lexi Luu Designs is transitioning operations to the Southern California area, whereby both brands will be operating in the same location, sharing all operational resources.

Lexi Luu Designs children's dancewear and Emotion Apparel’s women’s resort wear, both made in America, are now sold internationally. Through the business development efforts of Democratique management, both brands have achieved orders from retailers and e-retailers in international markets such as Australia and Turks and Caicos. Management continues to pursue additional markets overseas as part of the brands’ expansion initiatives.

“We are particularly excited about the margins we are able to generate, and when compared to our relatively low operating costs, are in a strong position to achieve cash flow positive status with only a small amount of organic growth. Our balance sheet reflects over $345,000 in current assets, most of which constitutes inventory that we have purchased to fulfill future sales. We are pleased with our ability to stabilize our operations given our limited financial resources, and continue to develop strategies to maximize our business quarter over quarter for the benefit of all stakeholders.”

Furthering their expansion domestically, Emotion Apparel recently contracted with Sheila Smith of Lit Studios. With 20 plus years in the fashion industry, Ms. Smith is leading Emotion Apparel’s expansion in the Western regions including Hawaii, Utah, Denver and more. With the addition of Lit Studios on board, the brand is positioned to reach a whole new customer base and increased market space.
