Key Financial Metrics
The filing does not provide comprehensive financial statements, revenue, profit, cash flow, or liquidity metrics. It specifically details the following new debt obligations:
- Elliot Ehrlich (Former CEO of predecessor): $222,028 deferred until December 31, 2019. Includes a promissory note with 0% interest if paid on time and 5% interest on late payments. Additionally, Mr. Ehrlich forgave a separate $222,028 in accrued salary.

Material Changes
The material change reported is the formalization of deferred payment agreements for accrued salaries totaling approximately $575,917 in new promissory notes. This action converts previously accrued liabilities into formal debt instruments with specific maturity dates and interest terms, altering the company's short-term liquidity obligations.
Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary
Management commentary is limited to the execution of these agreements. The primary risk identified is the future cash outflow required to repay these notes by December 31, 2019. Failure to repay on time will trigger a 5% interest rate on the outstanding principal. The filing does not provide forward-looking guidance on revenue or operational milestones.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the total cash required to settle the $575,917 in promissory notes by the December 31, 2019 maturity date.
- Confirm the impact of the $222,028 salary forgiveness by Elliot Ehrlich on the company's historical accrued liabilities.
- Review the company's current cash position to assess the ability to meet these future obligations without additional financing.
- Check for any subsequent filings regarding the repayment status or extension of these notes.
