On June 5, 2013, we entered into a joint venture agreement with Vertigo Technologies, LLC. (the “Vertigo JV”). The purpose of the Vertigo JV is to develop post-production equipment in the horticultural market. Under the terms of the agreement, we will provide funding for the project. Vertigo Technologies, LLC will develop the product and manage the joint venture. In exchange, we will receive 30% of the profit on all cannabinoid post-production technology products for a period of 36 months. The Company has committed to fund $85,000 of the costs of the Vertigo JV.
On August 25, 2013, we entered into a joint venture agreement with Second Wave Ventures, LLC. (the “Second Wave JV”). The purpose of the Second Wave JV is to develop, produce and market nutraceutical products and deliver systems. Under the terms of the agreement, we will provide funding for the operations of the joint venture. In exchange, we will receive 30% of the profits on all products and delivery systems within the nutraceutical market. The Company has committed to fund $85,000 under the Second Wave JV, which will be paid in weekly payments of $5,000.
On August 27, 2013, we entered into a joint venture agreement with Surface to Air Solutions, LLC. (the “S2O2 JV”). The purpose of the S2O2 JV is to work together to develop, produce, and market new services and products that are utilized within the market of horticultural production. Under the terms of the agreement, we will provide management, marketing, and other consulting services to the S2O2 JV. In addition, we will re-design the web marketing material for the joint venture. NTRR will fund up to $100,000 of the operating costs of the S2O2 JV at its discretion. After an initial payment of $10,000 on September 1, 2013, funding will be made in weekly installments of $7,500. In exchange, NTRR will receive 25% of the profits on all products and services that are used within the horticultural market.
On February 11, 2014, we acquired Diamond Anvil Designs, a developer of smoke-free nutraceutical delivery systems. Diamond Anvil Designs is a development stage startup vapor pen company that is designing an all-purpose vapor pen. Currently most vapor pens are manufactured only to be used for tobacco, so we feel this an underdeveloped area of the market.
In their audit report dated May 15, 2015; our auditors have expressed an opinion that substantial doubt exists as to whether we can continue as an ongoing business. If we do not raise additional capital within twelve months, we may be required to suspend or cease the implementation of our business plan.
We have no revenues; have incurred losses since inception, have been issued a going concern opinion from our auditors and rely upon the sale of our securities and borrowing to fund operations.
We have not generated any revenues to date and our activities have been limited to developing our business plan, developing and launching our website, research and development of products and trial testing of our initial formulations. We will not have the necessary capital to fully develop the financial relationship with our joint venture partners until we are able to secure additional financing. There can be no assurance that such financing will be available on suitable terms. We need to raise an additional $400,000 to satisfy our commitments to our joint venture partners over the next twelve months. Our current cash on hand is insufficient to fully commercialize the products of our joint venture partners and fully develop our business strategy. If we are unable to raise adequate additional funds or if those funds are not available on terms that are acceptable to us, we will not be able to execute our business plan and we may cease operations.
Our sole employee is Chris Brown, our president, treasurer, secretary and sole director. Mr. Brown is not employed under a written employment agreement. See,Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate Governance.
We have no patents or trademarks.
We know of no material, active or pending legal proceedings against us, nor are we involved as a plaintiff in any material proceedings or pending litigation. There are no proceedings in which any of our directors, officers or affiliates, or any registered beneficial shareholder are an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to us.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Results of Operations
Nine months ended October 31, 2015 compared to the nine months ended October 31, 2014.
General and Administrative Expenses
We recognized general and administrative expenses of $389,861 and $514,021 for the nine months ended October 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The decrease is primarily due to a reduction in our funding of joint ventures, which declined by $77,500 between the two periods. The remainder of the change is due to reductions in professional fees, travel & entertainment, and product samples.
Interest Expense
Interest expense decreased from $806,102 for the nine months ended October 31, 2014 to $375,057 for the nine months ended October 31, 2015. During the nine months ended October 31, 2015, we amortized $358,328 of the discount on our convertible notes, compared to $737,365 for the comparable period of 2014. This was driven by fewer conversions of our convertible notes payable into common stock.
This is offset by an increase in interest expense on our convertible notes, due to higher average debt balances.
Loss on Acquisition of Diamond Anvil
During the nine months ended October 31, 2014, we recognized a $100,000 loss on our acquisition of Diamond Anvil. In the comparable period of 2015, we made $30,000 of additional contractual payments toward the acquisition, which we recognized as a loss.
Net Loss
We incurred a net loss of $794,918 for nine months ended October 31, 2015 as compared to $1,420,123 for the comparable period of 2014. The decrease is driven by declines in interest expense and general and administrative expenses, as well as a decreased loss on our acquisition of Diamond Anvil.
Three months ended October 31, 2015 compared to the three months ended October 31, 2014.
General and Administrative Expenses
We recognized general and administrative expenses in the amount of $143,969 and $164,003 for the three months ended October 31, 2015 and ended 2014, respectively. The decrease is due to decreased professional fees and lower payments toward joint ventures in the latter period.
Interest Expense
Interest expense decreased from $357,835 for the three months ended October 31, 2014 to $96,519 for the three months ended October 31, 2015. During the three months ended October 31, 2015, we amortized $92,773 of the discount on our convertible notes, compared to $338,962 for the comparable period of 2014. This decrease is due to fewer conversions of our convertible notes into common stock. This was augmented by a small decrease in interest expense on our convertible notes.
Loss on Acquisition of Diamond Anvil
During the three months ended October 31, 2014, we recognized a $10,000 loss on our acquisition of Diamond Anvil. In the comparable period of 2015, we made $0 of additional contractual payments toward the acquisition, which we recognized as a loss.
Net Loss
We incurred a net loss of $240,488 for the three months ended October 31, 2015 as compared to $531,838 for the comparable period of 2014. The decrease in the net loss was primarily due to decreased interest expense related to the amortization on our convertible notes. The remainder of the decrease resulted from lower professional fees and contributions to profit participation agreements.

Results of Operations
We incurred a net loss of $1,896,815 for the year ended January 31, 2015. We had a working capital deficit of $334,006 as of January 31, 2015. We do not anticipate having positive net income in the immediate future. Net cash used by operations for the year ended January 31, 2015 was $546,538.
We continue to rely on advances to fund operating shortfalls and do not foresee a change in this situation in the immediate future. There can be no assurance that we will continue to have such advances available. We will not be able to continue operations without them. We are pursuing alternate sources of financing, but there is no assurance that additional capital will be available to the Company when needed or on acceptable terms.
Fiscal year ended January 31, 2015 compared to the fiscal year ended January 31, 2014.
General and Administrative Expenses
We recognized general and administrative expenses in the amount of $635,866 and $965,903 for the years ended January 31, 2015 and ended 2014, respectively. The decrease was the result of smaller contributions to profit participation agreements.
Interest Expense
Interest expense increased from $292,381 for the year ended January 31, 2014 to $1,150,949 for the year ended January 31, 2015. Interest expense for the year ended January 31, 2015 included amortization of discount on convertible notes payable in the amount of $1,068,607, compared to $253,028 for the comparable period of 2014. The remaining increase is the result of the Company entering into interest-bearing convertible notes payable.
Net Loss
We incurred a net loss of $1,896,815 for the year ended January 31, 2015 as compared to $1,258,284 for the comparable period of 2014. The increase in the net loss was primarily the result of increased interest expenses related to amortization of our convertible notes during the year ended January 31, 2015.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of the date of this filing, we had yet to generate any revenues from our business operations.
We anticipate needing approximately of $400,000 to fund our operations and to execute our business plan over the next eighteen months. Currently available cash is not sufficient to allow us to commence full execution of our business plan. Our business expansion will require significant capital resources that may be funded through the issuance of common stock or of notes payable or other debt arrangements that may affect our debt structure. Despite our current financial status, we believe that we may be able to issue notes payable or debt instruments in order to start executing our business plan. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to raise money in this fashion and have not entered into any agreements that would obligate a third party to provide us with capital.
Through January 31, 2015, we have incurred cumulative losses since inception of $1,896,815. We raised the cash amounts to be used in these activities from the sale of common stock and from advances. We currently have negative working capital of $334,006.
As of January 31, 2015, we had $6,584 of cash on hand. This amount of cash will be adequate to fund our operations for approximately less than one month.
We have no known demands or commitments and are not aware of any events or uncertainties as of January 31, 2015 that will result in or that are reasonably likely to materially increase or decrease our current liquidity
Additional Financing
Additional financing is required to continue operations. Although actively searching for available capital, the Company does not have any current arrangements for additional outside sources of financing and cannot provide any assurance that such financing will be available.

DirectorQualificationsand Diversity
The board seeks independent directors who represent a diversity of backgrounds and experiences that will enhance the quality of the board’s deliberations and decisions. Candidates shall have substantial experience with one or more publicly traded companies or shall have achieved a high level of distinction in their chosen fields. The board is particularly interested in maintaining a mix that includes individuals who are active or retired executive officers and senior executives, particularly those with experience in the finance and capital market industries.
In evaluating nominations to the board of directors, our board also looks for certain personal attributes, such as integrity, ability and willingness to apply sound and independent business judgment, comprehensive understanding of a director’s role in corporate governance, availability for meetings and consultation on Company matters, and the willingness to assume and carry out fiduciary responsibilities. Qualified candidates for membership on the board will be considered without regard to race, color, religion, sex, ancestry, national origin or disability.
Under the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations definition, an “independent director” means a person other than an officer or employee of the Company or its subsidiaries or any other individuals having a relationship that, in the opinion of the Company’s board of directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of the director. The board’s discretion in determining director independence is not completely unfettered. Further, under the NASDAQ definition, an independent director is a person who (1) is not currently (or whose immediate family members are not currently), and has not been over the past three years (or whose immediate family members have not been over the past three years), employed by the company; (2) has not (or whose immediate family members have not) been paid more than $120,000 during the current or past three fiscal years; (3) has not (or whose immediately family has not) been a partner in or controlling shareholder or executive officer of an organization which the company made, or from which the company received, payments in excess of the greater of $200,000 or 5% of that organizations consolidated gross revenues, in any of the most recent three fiscal years; (4) has not (or whose immediate family members have not), over the past three years been employed as an executive officer of a company in which an executive officer of the Company has served on that company’s compensation committee; or (5) is not currently (or whose immediate family members are not currently), and has not been over the past three years (or whose immediate family members have not been over the past three years) a partner of our outside auditor.
At the present time, we have no independent directors.
Lack of Committees
We do not presently have a separately designated audit committee, compensation committee, nominating committee, executive committee or any other committees of our board of directors. As such, the sole director acts in those capacities. We believe that committees of the board are not necessary at this time given that we are in the exploration stage.
The term “Financial Expert” is defined under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, as a person who has the following attributes: an understanding of generally accepted accounting principles and financial statements; has the ability to assess the general application of such principles in connection with the accounting for estimates, accruals and reserves; experience preparing, auditing, analyzing or evaluating financial statements that present a breadth and level of complexity of accounting issues that are generally comparable to the breadth and complexity of issues that can reasonably be expected to be raised by the company’s financial statements, or experience actively supervising one or more persons engaged in such activities; an understanding of internal controls and procedures for financial reporting; and an understanding of audit committee functions.
Mr. Brown does not qualify as an “audit committee financial expert.” We believe that the cost related to retaining such a financial expert at this time is prohibitive, given our current operating and financial condition. Further, because we are in the development stage of our business operations, we believe that the services of an audit committee financial expert are not necessary at this time.
The Company may in the future create an audit committee to consist of one or more independent directors. In the event an audit committee is established, of which there can be no assurances given, its first responsibility would be to adopt a written charter. Such charter would be expected to include, among other things:
- 17 -
| |
· | being directly responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of our independent auditor, which shall report directly to the audit committee, including resolution of disagreements between management and the auditors regarding financial reporting for the purpose of preparing or issuing an audit report or related work; |
| |
· | annually reviewing and reassessing the adequacy of the committee’s formal charter; |
| |
· | reviewing the annual audited financial statements with our management and the independent auditors and the adequacy of our internal accounting controls; |
| |
· | reviewing analyses prepared by our management and independent auditors concerning significant financial reporting issues and judgments made in connection with the preparation of our financial statements; |
| |
· | reviewing the independence of the independent auditors; |
| |
· | reviewing our auditing and accounting principles and practices with the independent auditors and reviewing major changes to our auditing and accounting principles and practices as suggested by the independent auditor or its management; |
| |
· | reviewing all related party transactions on an ongoing basis for potential conflict of interest situations; and |
| |
· | all responsibilities given to the audit committee by virtue of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which was signed into law by President George W. Bush on July 30, 2002. |
Risk Oversight
Enterprise risks are identified and prioritized by management and each prioritized risk is assigned to the board for oversight. These risks include, without limitation, the following:
| |
· | Risks and exposures associated with strategic, financial and execution risks and other current matters that may present material risk to our operations, plans, prospects or reputation. |
| |
· | Risks and exposures associated with financial matters, particularly financial reporting, tax, accounting, disclosure, internal control over financial reporting, financial policies, investment guidelines and credit and liquidity matters. |
| |
· | Risks and exposures relating to corporate governance; and management and director succession planning. |
| |
· | Risks and exposures associated with leadership assessment, and compensation programs and arrangements, including incentive plans. |
Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our executive officers and directors, and persons who own more than ten percent of our common stock to file reports of ownership and change in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission and the exchange on which the common stock is listed for trading. Executive officers, directors and more than ten percent stockholders are required by regulations promulgated under the Exchange Act to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) reports filed. Based solely on our review of copies of the Section 16(a) reports filed for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, we believe that our executive officers, directors and ten percent stockholders complied with all reporting requirements applicable to them.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT
The following table sets forth certain information as of February 5, 2016, with respect to the beneficial ownership of shares of the Company’s common stock by (i) each person known to us who owns beneficially more than 5% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, (ii) each of our Directors, (iii) each of our Executive Officers, and (iv) all of our Executive Officers and Directors as a group. Unless otherwise indicated, each stockholder has sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares shown. As of February 5, 2016, there were 1,722,472 shares of the Company’s common stock issued and outstanding.
| | | | | | |
Name and Address of Beneficial Owner (1) | | Number of Shares of Capital Stock Beneficially Owned (1) | | Percentage Ownership (3) |
| | Common Stock | Preferred Stock | | Common Stock | Preferred Stock |

All executive officers and directors as a group (one person) | | -0- | -0- | | -0-% | -0-% |
| |
(1) | Under Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, a beneficial owner of a security includes any person who, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship, or otherwise has or shares: (i) voting power, which includes the power to vote, or to direct the voting of shares; and (ii) investment power, which includes the power to dispose or direct the disposition of shares. Certain shares may be deemed to be beneficially owned by more than one person (if, for example, persons share the power to vote or the power to dispose of the shares). In addition, shares are deemed to be beneficially owned by a person if the person has the right to acquire the shares (for example, upon exercise of an option) within 60 days of the date as of which the information is provided. In computing the percentage ownership of any person, the amount of shares is deemed to include the amount of shares beneficially owned by such person (and only such person) by reason of these acquisition rights. As a result, the percentage of outstanding shares of any person as shown in this table does not necessarily reflect the person’s actual ownership or voting power with respect to the number of shares of common stock actually outstanding on February 5, 2016. |
| |
(2) | The beneficial owner of Boxcar Transportation Corp. is Mert Gungor. In addition to the 86,990 shares of common s tock owned, Boxcar Transportation Corp. also owns 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s Series E preferred stock. The outstanding shares of Series E preferred share have the right to take action by written consent or vote based on the number of votes equal to twice the number of votes of all outstanding shares of common stock. As a result, Boxcar Transportation Corp. has not less than 2/3rds of the voting power of all shareholders at any time corporate action requires a vote of shareholders. |
| |
(3) | Our calculation of the percentage of beneficial ownership is based on 1,722,472 shares of common stock and 1,000,000 shares of Series E preferred stock outstanding as of February 5, 2016. |
Changes in Control
The Company underwent a change in management on August 15, 2014, when Sydney Jim resigned as sole director and officer of the Company. On the same day, Chris Brown was elected to serve as sole director, president, secretary and treasurer. There are currently no arrangements which would result in a change in control of the Company.
CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
Transactions with Related Persons
On November 13, 2015, we issued 1,000,000 shares of Series E preferred stock to Boxcar Transportation Corp. as consideration for corporate administration.
- 20 -
Director Independence
Quotations for the Company’s common stock are entered on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board inter-dealer quotation system and the OTC Markets, which does not have director independence requirements. For purposes of determining director independence, the Company applied the definitions set out in NASDAQ Rule 4200(a)(15). Under NASDAQ Rule 4200(a)(15), a director is not considered to be independent if he or she is also an executive officer or employee of the corporation. As a result, the Company does not have any independent directors. Our sole director, Chris Brown, is also the Company’s principal executive officer.
SELLING STOCKHOLDER
When we refer to “Selling Stockholder” in this prospectus, we mean those persons listed in the table below, and the pledgees, donees, permitted transferees, assignees, successors, and others who later come to hold any of the Selling Stockholder’s interests in shares of our common stock other than through a public sale.
The following table sets forth as of the date of this prospectus the name of each Selling Stockholder for whom we have registered shares of common stock for resale to the public and the number of shares of common stock that each Selling Stockholder may offer pursuant to this prospectus. Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with SEC rules and includes voting or investment power with respect to the securities. The information set forth below is based on information known to us. The common stock being offered by the Selling Stockholder consists of a total of 490,645 shares of the common stock issuable upon conversion of the convertible promissory note which is convertible at $0.01 per share.
Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with SEC rules and includes voting or investment power with respect to the securities. However, the convertible note provides that the Selling Stockholder may not convert if the conversion would cause a holder’s beneficial ownership of our common stock to exceed 4.99% of the outstanding shares of common stock. Therefore, although they are included in the table below, the number of shares of common stock for some listed persons may include shares that may not be purchased during a given 60-day period used for purpose of determining beneficial ownership.
Except for relationships noted in the Selling Stockholder table, none of the Selling Stockholder has, or within the past three years has had, any position, office or material relationship with us or any of our predecessors or affiliates.

(2) | The numbers in the column reflect the total number of shares of the common stock owned by the Selling Stockholder or its affiliates as of February 5, 2016.

All of the convertible promissory notes are subject to a conversion cap of 4.99% of the total outstanding. Therefore, the holder of the convertible notes does not have the “right” to hold more than the amount of the cap as expressed by the Commission’samicus curiae brief in the case ofMark Levy v. Southbrook International Investments, Ltd. (2nd Cir. Mar 31, 2001). |

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
Each selling stockholder and any of their pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of common stock on the over-the-counter market or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded, or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. The distribution of the shares by the selling stockholder is not currently subject to any underwriting agreement. Each selling stockholder must use a broker-dealer which is registered in the state in which the selling stockholder seeks to sell their shares. A selling stockholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:
| |
· | ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers; |
| |
· | block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent, but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction; |
| |
· | purchases by a broker- dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account; |
| |
· | conducting business in places where business practices and customs are unfamiliar and unknown; |
| |
· | an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange; |
| |
· | privately negotiated transactions; |
| |
· | settlement of short sales entered into after the date of this prospectus; |
| |
· | broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholder to sell a specified number of the shares at a stipulated price per share; |
| |
· | a combination of any of these methods of sale; |
| |
· | through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise; or |
| |
· | any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law. |
The selling stockholder may, from time to time, pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of common stock owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of common stock, from time to time, under this prospectus, or under an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act amending the list of selling stockholder to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling stockholder under this prospectus. The selling stockholder also may transfer the shares of common stock in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.
In connection with the sale of our common stock or interests therein, the selling stockholder may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the common stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The selling stockholder may also sell shares of our common stock short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The selling stockholder may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

Each of the selling stockholder reserves the right to accept and, together with their agents from time to time, to reject, in whole or in part, any proposed purchase of common stock to be made directly or through agents. We will not receive any of the proceeds from this offering.
The selling stockholder also may resell all or a portion of the shares in open market transactions in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, provided that they meet the criteria and conform to the requirements of that rule.
The selling stockholder and any underwriters, broker-dealers or agents that participate in the sale of the common stock or interests therein may be “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act. Any discounts, commissions, concessions or profit they earn on any resale of the shares may be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. Selling stockholder will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act, unless an exemption therefrom is available.
To the extent required, the shares of our common stock to be sold, the names of the selling stockholder, the respective purchase prices and public offering prices, the names of any agents, dealer or underwriter, any applicable commissions or discounts with respect to a particular offer will be set forth in an accompanying prospectus supplement or, if appropriate, a post-effective amendment to the registration statement that includes this prospectus.
In order to comply with the securities laws of some states, if applicable, the common stock may be sold in these jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the common stock may not be sold unless it has been registered or qualified for sale or an exemption from registration or qualification requirements is available and is complied with.
There can be no assurance that any selling shareholder will sell any or all of the shares of common stock registered pursuant to the shelf registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part.
We have advised the selling stockholder that the anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of shares in the market and to the activities of the selling stockholder and their affiliates. In addition, to the extent applicable we will make copies of this prospectus (as it may be supplemented or amended from time to time) available to the selling stockholder for the purpose of satisfying the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. The selling stockholder may indemnify any broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving the sale of the shares against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.
We have agreed to indemnify the selling stockholder against liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act and state securities laws, relating to the registration of the shares offered by this prospectus.
We will pay all expenses of the registration of the shares of common stock pursuant to the registration rights agreement, including, without limitation, Securities and Exchange Commission filing fees and expenses of compliance with state securities or “blue sky” laws and the selling stockholder’ expenses; provided, however, that a selling shareholder will pay all underwriting discounts and selling commissions, if any.
We have agreed with the selling stockholder to keep the registration statement of which this prospectus constitutes a part effective until the earlier of (1) such time as all of the shares covered by this prospectus have been disposed of pursuant to and in accordance with the registration statement or (2) the date on which the shares may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act without regard to any volume limitation requirements under Rule 144 of the Securities Act.
Penny Stock Rules
The SEC has adopted regulations which generally define “penny stock” to be an equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share. Our common stock falls within the definition of penny stock and be subject to rules that impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally those with assets in excess of $1,000,000, or annual incomes exceeding $200,000 individually, or $300,000, together with their spouse).
- 23 -
For transactions covered by these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchase of such securities and have received the purchaser’s prior written consent to the transaction. Additionally, for any transaction, other than exempt transactions, involving a penny stock, the rules require the delivery, prior to the transaction, of a risk disclosure document mandated 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 representative, 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, 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. Consequently, the penny stock rules may restrict the ability of broker-dealers to sell our common stock and may affect the ability of investors to sell their common stock in the secondary market.
We have advised the selling stockholder that the anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of shares in the market and to the activities of the selling stockholder and its affiliates. In addition, we will make copies of this Prospectus available to the selling stockholder for the purpose of satisfying the Prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.
In connection with the sale of our common stock or interests therein, the selling stockholder may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the common stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The selling stockholder may also sell shares of our common stock short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The selling stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to these broker- dealers or other financial institutions of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares these broker-dealers or other financial institutions may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect these transactions).
The selling stockholder and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with these sales. In this event, any commissions received by these broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Each selling stockholder has informed us that it does not have any agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the common stock. In no event shall any broker-dealer receive fees, commissions and markups which, in the aggregate, would exceed seven percent (7%).
We are required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by us incident to the registration of the shares. We have agreed to indemnify the selling stockholder against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
The selling stockholder may agree to indemnify any agent, dealer or broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving sales of the shares against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.
Because selling stockholder may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, it will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. In addition, any securities covered by this prospectus which qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144 rather than under this prospectus. There is no underwriter or coordinating broker acting in connection with the proposed sale of the shares by the selling stockholder.
Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the shares may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to our common stock for a period of two business days prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the selling stockholder will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of shares of our common stock by the selling stockholder or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the selling stockholder and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale.
Regulation M
We have advised each selling stockholder that while it is engaged in a distribution of the shares included in this prospectus it is required to comply with Regulation M promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
- 24 -
During such time as it may be engaged in a distribution of any of the shares we are registering by this registration statement, the selling stockholder is required to comply with Regulation M. In general, Regulation M precludes any selling security holder, any affiliated purchasers and any broker-dealer or other person who participates in a distribution from bidding for or purchasing, or attempting to induce any person to bid for or purchase, any security which is the subject of the distribution until the entire distribution is complete. Regulation M defines a “distribution” as an offering of securities that is distinguished from ordinary trading activities by the magnitude of the offering and the presence of special selling efforts and selling methods. Regulation M also defines a “distribution participant” as an underwriter, prospective underwriter, broker, dealer, or other person who has agreed to participate or who is participating in a distribution.
Regulation M under the Exchange Act prohibits, with certain exceptions, participants in a distribution from bidding for or purchasing, for an account in which the participant has a beneficial interest, any of the securities that are the subject of the distribution. Regulation M also governs bids and purchases made in order to stabilize the price of a security in connection with a distribution of the security. We have informed The selling stockholder that the anti-manipulation provisions of Regulation M may apply to the sales of their shares offered by this prospectus, and we have also advised The selling stockholder of the requirements for delivery of this prospectus in connection with any sales of the common stock offered by this prospectus.

Nevada Anti-Takeover Law and Charter and Bylaws Provisions
Nevada Revised Statutes sections 78.378 to 78.3793 provide state regulation over the acquisition of a controlling interest in certain Nevada corporations unless the articles of incorporation or bylaws of the corporation provide that the provisions of these sections do not apply. The statute creates a number of restrictions on the ability of a person or entity to acquire control of a Nevada company by setting down certain rules of conduct and voting restrictions in any acquisition attempt, among other things. The statute is limited to corporations that are organized in the state of Nevada and that have 200 or more shareholders, at least 100 of whom are shareholders of record and residents of the State of Nevada; and do business in the State of Nevada directly or through an affiliated corporation. Because of these conditions, the statute does not apply to our Company.
Common Stock
The holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote per share. In addition, the holders of our common stock will be entitled to receive ratably dividends, if any, declared by our board of directors out of legally available funds; however, the current policy of our board of directors is to retain earnings, if any, for operations and growth. Upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the holders of our common stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets that are legally available for distribution. The holders of our common stock have no preemptive, subscription, redemption or conversion rights. The rights, preferences and privileges of holders of our common stock are subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of any series of preferred stock, which may be designated solely by action of our board of directors and issued in the future.
Preferred Stock
Our board of directors are authorized, subject to any limitations prescribed by law, without further vote or action by our stockholders, to issue from time to time shares of preferred stock in one or more series.

- 25 -
The issuance in the future of a newly designated class or series of preferred shares may have the effect of diluting the earnings per share and book value per share, as well as the stock ownership and voting rights, of the currently outstanding shares of our capital stock. The effect on your common stock ownership depends on the terms of the designation of the preferred stock outstanding.
Series E Preferred Stock
So long as any shares of Series E preferred stock remain outstanding, the holders are entitled, voting separately as a single class, to vote double the number of all other voting share resulting in 2/3rds of all votes. The Series E preferred shares have no other economic value. The shares are not convertible into any other class of securities, are not entitled to dividends and do not participate in distributions in liquidation.
Convertible Promissory Note
As of February 5, 2016, we had outstanding $73,940 principal amount and accrued interest of $3,829 of an unsecured convertible promissory note dated July 31, 2015.
