Corporate Disclosure

The Company is increasing its authorized share capital from 7,500,000,000 shares to 20,000,000,000 shares and is setting aside the previously proposed reverse share split for the foreseeable future.

The Company has increased an existing convertible note by $6,500, under existing terms, bearing 8% interest and convertible at $0.0002. The Company has settled debt to a vendor by issuing a new convertible note in the amount of $18,000, with a one year term, bearing 10% interest and convertible at 75% of the 25 day lowest closing price.

The Company has hired Aventure, LLC., as its accountant and expects to hire an auditor shortly for the purpose of becoming an audited reporting issuer. The filing of the Company’s annual financial and OTC Market filings have been delayed due to a mandatory compliance update and change of control approval from OTC Markets related to the recent passing of the Company’s former Director and CEO. The annual financial statements and OTC Market annual filing are complete and will be filed upon approvals.
