Material Changes
On August 21, 2018, the Company entered into a joinder to a stock purchase agreement originally dated June 1, 2018. Under this agreement, an institutional investor committed to purchasing $17,000,000 of Series A convertible preferred stock. The purchase price is set at $5,000 per share plus accrued dividends. The timing and specific amounts of the closings are at the Company's sole discretion.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks

No specific forward-looking guidance or management commentary regarding future operations is included in this specific report.
