Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal
Year
On September 19, 2021 we were belatedly informed by the office of the Nevada
Secretary of State that our amendment to our Articles of Incorporation
("Amendment") was duly accepted and filed with the Nevada Secretary of State. In
that respect, we were informed that the office of the Nevada Secretary of State
had mistakenly and previously emailed the Amendment and all related documents to
the wrong email address contrary to our instructions that were clearly and
unambiguously set forth in the forms that we duly submitted to the Nevada
Secretary of State in connection with the filing of the Amendment. We are not
certain what caused the office of the Nevada Secretary of State to fail to
follow our instructions by failing to timely send us the Amendment to the email
address that we expressly and clearly provided in the forms that we submitted to
them and why that office did not respond to numerous telephone inquiries that we
made to ascertain the status of the Amendment despite vigorous efforts to
contact that office without success until September 19, 2021. We were persuaded
that either COVID 19 and its repercussions had caused a delay in the work
commonly conducted at the office of the Nevada Secretary of State and/or that
some other aspect of the filing of the Amendment had, for some unknown reason,
was defective but we had no reason to know what problems we had encountered and
what action we needed to take to understand any such problems until September
19, 2021.

Nonetheless, we were informed that the Amendment was filed on September 2, 2021.
Under the terms of the Amendment, we amended Section 1 of our Articles of
Incorporation to increase the authorized Common Stock (par value $0.00001) to
eight billion (8,000,000,000) shares and increase our authorized Preferred Stock
to one hundred twenty million (120,000,000) shares.
Prior to the Amendment, our Board of Directors was authorized to issue only an
aggregate of one billion one hundred fifty million (1,150,000,000) shares of our
Common Stock (par value $0.00001) (the "Common Stock") and it was authorized to
issue an aggregate of one hundred million (100,000,000) shares of our Preferred
Stock (par value $0.00001) (the "Preferred Stock"). Thus and as a result of the
Amendment, our Board of Directors has the legal authority, subject to compliance
with the Nevada General Corporation Law, to increase the amount of our issued
and outstanding Common Stock from the amount previously authorized by more
595.00% and our authorized Preferred Stock by 20.00%.
Further and under the terms of the Amendment, our Board of Directors has the
right to designate one or more shares of our authorized Preferred Stock into one
or more series of Preferred Stock each with such rights and privileges as the
Board of Directors determines without obtaining the approval or consent of the
holders of our Common Stock subject generally to the requirements of the Nevada
General Corporation Law and the duties imposed on directors of a
Nevada-domiciled corporation. These right of the Board of Directors to designate
and issue one or more series of our Preferred Stock each with such rights as the
Board solely determines, is commonly called "blank check rights" in that the
Board can unilaterally take these actions without requiring any approval or
consent of the holders of our Common Stock.
That is, this right, as set forth in the Amendment, clearly grants our Board of
Directors the right to generally take certain unilateral actions (subject
generally to compliance with the Nevada General Corporation Law and the duties
imposed on Directors of a Nevada-domiciled corporation) without generally
allowing the Company's common stock holders to have any right to determine or
influence such decisions involving the issuance of our Preferred Stock and the
rights that may be granted to each series of Preferred Stock. Thus, the extent
of the voting rights and many other economic rights that otherwise would be
exercised solely by holders of our Common Stock are generally subordinated to
the right of our Board of Directors to exercise such rights. In that light and
because of the terms of the Amendment that grants our Board of Directors their
right to designate and issue shares of our authorized Preferred Stock in one
more series, our Board of Directors can clearly limit and diminish the voting
and economic rights of holders of our Common Stock by exercising those rights as
set forth above.
-2-
The Amendment was duly approved solely by certain holders of our Series A
Preferred Stock and our Series B Preferred Stock, since all such stock holds
certain "super-voting rights" that allows such holders to control and amend our
Articles of Incorporation and our By-laws without requiring the approval or
consent of the holders of our Common Stock.
In this instance, certain holders of our Series A Preferred Stock and the Series
B Preferred Stock who hold collectively 79.88% of the Company's voting rights
approved the Amendment.
Item 5.07. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Securities Holders.
As set forth above, the holders of certain shares of our Series A Preferred
Stock and certain shares of our Series B Preferred who collectively hold 79.88%
of the Company's voting rights approved the Amendment to increase our authorized
Common Stock and our authorized Preferred Stock while also authorizing and
giving our Board of Directors the right to take certain unilateral
actions(subject generally to compliance with the Nevada General Corporation Law
and the duties imposed on Directors of a Nevada-domiciled corporation) without
generally allowing the Company's common stock holders to have any right to
determine or influence such decisions involving the issuance of our Preferred
Stock and the rights that may be granted to each series of Preferred Stock.
Thus, the extent of the voting rights and many other economic rights that
otherwise would be exercised solely by holders of our Common Stock are generally
subordinated to the right of our Board of Directors to exercise such rights.
The Amendment was duly approved by certain holders of our Series A Preferred
Stock and the Series B Preferred Stock who hold collectively 79.88% of the
Company's voting rights.
RISK FACTORS
The reader of this Form 8-K is strongly advised that in addition to the risk
factors set forth below, the reader should also fully read and review the "Risk
Factors" set forth in Section 1A of our Annual Report for the fiscal year ending
December 31, 2020 as previously filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.
1. WARNING: Matter of Ten Day Stop Trading Order & Related Risks. As noted in
our prior periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(including but not limited to the Form 8-K that we filed on March 26, 2021) on
March 24, 2021, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission issued a Ten Day
Stop Trading Order to stop the trading in our Common Stock (the "Order"). The
Order was issued pursuant to Section 12(k) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended and it expired on April 7, 2021. As a result, we have expended
and continue to expend significant efforts to secure at least one market-maker
who may be willing, subject to a complete and satisfactory due diligence review
and evaluation of our corporate, business, and financial affairs, to serve as
our market-maker for our Common Stock.
Currently and despite our continuing efforts, we have not been successful in
securing the services of a duly licensed and registered market-maker for our
Common Stock and we cannot assure you that we will be successful in these and
other efforts needed that may allow the holders of our Common Stock to regain
trading privileges on OTC Markets.
-3-
Further and as a result of the Order, we do not currently have a
FINRA-registered market-maker and we have no certain prospect that we will be
successful in gaining a FINRA-registered market-maker on or before September 21,
2021("to make a market" in our common stock). As a result of the Order and given
our state of insolvency, and the severely high risks associated with our
business strategy, there is a clear and unmistakeable very high risk that we
will no longer have the status of being a publicly traded company. In that
context and for these and other reasons, any person who acquires our Common
Stock, our Preferred Stock or any debt instrument that we issued, faces a clear
and unmistakeable HIGH RISK that they will lose their entire investment.
If we are not successful in gaining a FINRA-registered market-maker on or before
September 21, 2021, holders of our Common Stock will likely incur the total loss
on their investment since our Common Stock will lose all liquidity and all
marketability of the shares of our Common Stock that they hold. In that context
and unless we are successful in securing the services of such a market-maker,
the Company will effectively become a "privately-held" company and the fair
market value of our Common Stock will likely be $0.00. We cannot assure that we
will be successful in securing a market-maker for our Common Stock and any
person who acquires our Common Stock should be prepared to lose all of their
investment since there can be no guarantee that any market-maker will be willing
to provide us with market-making services for our Common Stock at any time in
the future.
2. Status as Insolvent Company with Continuing Losses, No Revenues and Negative
Equity
We agree with our independent auditors in that there is substantial doubt about
our ability to continue as a going concern since:
(a) our Total Current Liabilities exceed our Total Current Assets which are
currently $12,615 and thus we are insolvent;
(b) we have no cash assets and our Total Liabilities are in excess of $50.5
million;
(c) as of December 31, 2020 we have incurred over $89,000,000 in accumulated
losses and there is no certain prospect that we will ever achieve and sustain
any positive cash flow, profitability or either of them;
(d) we incurred losses of over $36,000,000 during our most recent fiscal year
ending December 31, 2020; and
(e) we have over $50.5 million in Liabilities as of June 30, 2021.
-4-
In every respect, we are insolvent and anyone who acquires our Common Stock
should be prepared to lose their entire investment. Our Common Stock, our
Preferred Stock, and any other instrument that we have or will issue, should be
considered a "HIGH RISK" investment suitable only for those persons who can
afford the TOTAL LOSS of their investment.
Overall, we are a small company with minimal financial and managerial resources,
and our business model and all of our plans have not been reviewed or evaluated
by any independent third party. We incurred over $36,000,000 in losses in our
most recent fiscal year ending December 31, 2020 and we are insolvent. MAKE NO
MISTAKE: there is substantial doubt that we can continue as an on-going business
for the next twelve months unless we obtain additional capital to pay our bills
and meet our operating expenses. This is because we have generated insignificant
revenues from our operations during the last ten years and we have no clear
prospect that we will generate any revenues at any time in the future. We have
been able to remain in business primarily as a result of management's
determination and the efforts by certain other parties but we cannot assure you
that we will have the necessary resources that will allow us to continue our
corporate existence. We expect to incur significant operating losses in the
foreseeable future and our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent
upon our ability to raise additional money through investments by others and
achieve profitable operations.
There is no assurance and there can be no assurance that we will ever be able to
raise additional money or that additional money or that additional financing
will be available to us on satisfactory terms or that we will be able to achieve
profitable operations with positive cash flow. Moreover, we cannot assure you
that we will be successful in securing a FINRA-registered market-maker that may
be willing to serve as a market-maker for our Common Stock on or before
September 21, 2021. In that event, we will lose our status as a public company.
Our consolidated financial statements were prepared under the assumption that we
will continue as a going concern, however, there can be no assurance that we can
raise any additional funds or otherwise obtain the necessary financial support
to allow us to remain as a corporate entity. There can be no guarantee that we
have any ability to raise funds or otherwise maintain our corporate existence as
a Nevada corporation. In every respect, our financial circumstances raise
substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern and, for that
matter, our very existence as a corporation. The consolidated financial
statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of
this uncertainty.
