Letter to Shareholders

Published: March 9th, 2023 
Mission Viejo and Irvine, Calif., March 9th,  2023 (PRDistribution) — 
Dear Stakeholders,
Nearly our entire portfolio of startups made great strides in progress in 2022 and are off to great start in early 2023.
Here is a link to the Executive Summary of our 2022 Annual Report > https://lventuresnew.wpenginepowered.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Аnnual-Report_2022.pdf   (note we are changing photos and making some adds). 
We are highly focused on moving to commercialization and exit opportunities our single focused platform bioelectric stimulator technology platform.  We are no primarily a one product company with a single bioelectric stimulator platform.  This same stimulator circuit board design has been developed into three size configurations; (1) Bench top portable, (2) Palm sized portable, (3) Micro silver dollar sized implantable.   We are working on a 4th size the size of a pea.  Same circuit design.  Same signals delivered.  Just in different size configurations. 
Our single focused bioelectric stimulator platform technology is packaged in different packages with at times when needed different organ interfaces for particular applications like skin, ED, hair. It is all the same product, often times with the exact same signals, just pointed to different places on the body.
In bold short summary…
1.  We believe we have patented and developed the most advanced technology platform in the world for reversing aging and staving off aging related ailments. Patented bioelectric signals for klotho expression and patent pending licensed for klotho expressing MSCs.  Patented signals for inflammation modulation.  Patent pending signals for controlled up regulation of Sirtuins, Sestrins and NANOG powerful anti-aging and aging reversal proteins.  In short we believe we have developed technology that has potential to reverse biological age in humans by up to 5 to 20 years.
2.  We believe we have patented and developed the most effective technology platform ever developed for total and complete regeneration of organs including the heart, heart valves, aorta, lungs, brain, liver, kidney, bladder, pancreas, sexual organs, skin, hair, eyes and more.
3.  We believe our 12 issued patents and corresponding technology platform for bioelectric cancer treatment have great chance to make a major impact in providing a less toxic treatment alternative for cancer patients with a strong possibility to have higher efficacy with less side effects.
4.  We believe in 2022 we made great strides in developing technology to down regulate FABp4 and up regulate klotho to make a major dent in helping people to reverse out of both type I and type II diabetes.
5.  Five (5) of our accelerator program graduates moved out of R&D stage into commercial stage of development with FDA 510K clearances in place. SkinStim, HairCell, ErectiStim, OrthoStim and BodStim have entered a distribution and sales agreement with Lionheart Health, Inc. to launch the sales of these products in the USA and OUS markets. Sales of these products are forecasted to be over $7 million in 2023.  Shareholders of these portfolio innovation assets will now receive an 8% royalty on all full price sales and 5% on discounted sales made with quarterly disbursements pro-rata.
Below are some of our more specific progress highlights…

Summary
 
Leonhardt’s Launchpads is the innovation and startup accelerator arm of Leonhardt Ventures founded by Howard J. Leonhardt in 1982.  Howard Leonhardt is an inventor and serial entrepreneur with 21 issued organ regeneration and recovery patents and dozens of more patent claims pending at the USPTO – https://patents.justia.com/inventor/howard-j-leonhardt.  Leonhardt Ventures has been bringing organ regeneration and recovery innovations to market since 1982.  In the 1980’s they patented and pioneered cardiovascular balloon catheter development – PolyCath.  In the 1990’s they patented and developed the leading stent graft system for endovascular repair of aortic aneurysms TALENT and the first percutaneous heart valve.  Their team completed the first ever stem cell repair of an animal heart in 1988 and landmark first-ever non-surgical stem cell repair of a human heart in 2001.  In 1999 they published their first paper on bioelectric based organ regeneration in CIRCULATION.  Leonhardt Ventures has raised over $140 million to fund its startups since its founding and has had primary exits valued at $440 million and secondary exits exceeding $4.3 billion. In 2008 they opened up their first incubator/accelerator in Northern California followed in 2013 in Southern California and 2015 in Utah.  These accelerators currently incubate 30 startups 27 of which are focused on bioelectric and endovascular based organ regeneration and recovery.   Most of the startups in the accelerator are based on Leonhardt’s patented and patent pending bioelectric stimulation platform technology for stem homing, proliferation and differentiation and organ regeneration via controlled protein expressions.   The 2017 startup portfolio is the culmination of over 35 years experience in organ regeneration and recovery research and experimentation. 
 
Our accelerator business model is to advance each startup to first-in-man results and then sell to a strategic partner/buyer preferably with a 3% royalty forward on net sales.   Our goal is 23X ROI on accelerator shares and 63X on individual startup shares after 5 years.  See schedule chart below of expected exits timing over the next 5 years. 
 
Investments at this time are all 2:1 meaning if you invest $30,000 in the innovation accelerator you receive $30,000 worth of shares of the accelerator stock AND also a 2:1 a warrant valued at $30,000 to acquire at no further charge $30,000 worth of shares of any or all of the 30 startups in the 2017 accelerator portfolio class– https://leonhardtventures.com/our-companies/#toggle-id-1  You have until Dec. 31st of the year you invest to decide your allocation of your warrant to any or all of the startups you choose. 
 
The startups generally are owned as follows = 50.1% owned by Leonhardt Ventures LLC, 9 to 20% owned by Cal-X Stars Business Accelerator, Inc. DBA Leonhardt’s Launchpads and the balance 29.9% to 40.9%  owned by management, advisors and outside shareholders.  The startups generally start out with a valuation of $2.3 to $5 million and the target goal is to sell them in 5 years or after first-in-man data comes in, which ever comes first, at $240 to $800 million with ideally a 3% royalty on net sales forward.   We strive as a goal to keep dilution to 37% over 5 years with our anti-dilutive business model.

Welcome to CalxStars

We work with founders on their ideas, as well as conceive our own ideas in-house – then we assemble talent and teams to create new companies. We start with analyzing each company thoroughly and we provide a 15 page report identifying strengths and weaknesses. The report concludes with a Probability of Survival Score. Based on this analysis we provide to the company a 5 year mentoring and funding road map.
