TAUTACHROME, INC.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2017

Note 1 – Organization and Nature of Business

History

Tautachrome, Inc. (formerly Roadships Holdings, Inc.) was formed in Delaware on June 5, 2006 as Caddystats, Inc. (Tautachrome, Inc. and hereinafter be collectively referred to as “Tautachrome”, the “Company”, “we’ or “us”).

The Company adopted the accounting acquirer’s year end, December 31.

Our Business

The Company operates in the internet applications space, a space uniquely able to embrace fast growing and novel business. The iPhone, Google, Facebook, Amazon, Twitter, Android, Uber and numerous other examples are reminders of the ability of the internet applications space to surprise us with the arrival –seemingly from out of nowhere- of wholly new business universes.

The Company is developing a system branded “KlickZie” aimed at turning smartphones, including iPhones, Android phones and other smartphones, into trustable imagers and advanced communicators. The pictures and videos from trustable imager can be trusted to be the original, untampered, un-Photoshopped pictures and videos made by the smartphone, and in addition the pictures and videos themselves become advanced communicators, able to be used as living, trusted portals to communicate with others.

The KlickZie system concept consists of downloadable software able to securitize the imaging process in the smartphone, together with an advanced cloud system to authenticate KlickZie pictures and videos and to make possible imagery based communication among people who happen upon KlickZie pictures and videos.

Note 2 – Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Consolidated Financial Statements

In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements includes all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the period ending June 30, 2017. Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with information included in our audited financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2016, as reported in Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 19, 2017.

Management further acknowledges that it is solely responsible for adopting sound accounting practices, establishing and maintaining a system of internal accounting control and preventing and detecting fraud. The Company's system of internal accounting control is designed to assure, among other items, that 1) recorded transactions are valid; 2) valid transactions are recorded; and 3) transactions are recorded in the proper period in a timely manner to produce financial statements which present fairly the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the respective periods being presented.

Table of Contents

Principles of Consolidation

Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Tautachrome, Inc. and all majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

Property, Plant and Equipment

We record our property plant and equipment at historical cost. The estimated useful lives of these assets range from three to seven years and are depreciated using the straight-line method over the asset’s useful life.

Long-Lived Assets, Intangible Assets and Impairment

In accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company’s long-lived assets and amortizable intangible assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable. The Company assesses the recoverability of such assets by determining whether their carrying value can be recovered through undiscounted future operating cash flows, including its estimates of revenue driven by assumed market segment share and estimated costs. If impairment is indicated, the Company measures the amount of such impairment by comparing the fair value to the carrying value.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Net Loss Per Share

Basic and diluted net loss per share calculations are calculated on the basis of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year. The per share amounts include the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents in years with net income. Basic and diluted loss per share is the same for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 as the effect of our potential common stock equivalents would be anti-dilutive.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) - Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment" (“ASU 2017-04”). The new standard simplifies the accounting for goodwill impairments by eliminating step 2 from the goodwill quantitative impairment test. Instead, if the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss shall be recognized in an amount equal to that excess, limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and early adoption is permitted. The Company early adopted ASU 2017-04 on January 1, 2017.

Table of Contents

Note 3 – Going Concern

We have not begun our core operations in the technology industry and have not yet acquired the assets to enter this markets and we will require additional capital to do so. There is no guarantee that we will acquire the capital to procure the assets to enter this markets or, upon doing so, that we will generate positive cash flows from operations. Substantial doubt exists as to Tautachrome’s ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustment has been made to these financial statements for the outcome of this uncertainty.

Note 4 – Related Party Transactions

For the year ended December 31, 2016, we had the following transactions with the Twenty Second Trust (the "Trust"), the trustee of whom is Tamara Nugent, the wife of our major shareholder and former Chief Executive Officer, Micheal Nugent:

	·	We received $18,331 in cash loans to pay operating expenses and repaid no principal.

	·	We accrued $4,400 in interest payable to the Trust and paid no interest payments.

	·	The outstanding balance at December 31, 2016 to the 22^nd Trust was $98,344 and $11,035 for principal and interest, respectively, after adjustments for foreign exchange effect.

For the six months ended June 30, 2017, we received $151 in cash loans from the 22^nd Trust. At June 30, 2017, we owed $99,749 and $13,527 in principal and interest to the Trust, respectively.

According to our agreement with Mr. Nugent, we accrue interest on all unpaid amounts at 5%. Principal and interest are callable at any time. If principal and interest are called and not repaid, the loan is considered in default after which interest is accrued at 10%.

Convertible note payable, related party

On May 5, 2013 (and on August 8, 2013 with an enlargement amendment) the Company entered into a no interest demand-loan agreement with our current Chairman, Jon N. Leonard under which the Company may borrow such money from Jon as Jon in his sole discretion is willing to loan.

The terms of the note provide that at the Company’s option, the Company may make repayments in stock, at a fixed share price of $1.00 per share. Also, because this loan is a no-interest loan an imputed interest expense of $2,140 was recorded as additional paid-in capital for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The Company evaluated Dr. Leonard’s note for the existence of a beneficial conversion feature and determined that none existed.

During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we received $11,000 in related-party loans from our Board Chairman and CEO, Dr. Jon Leonard, and repaid $1,000 in principal. At June 30, 2017, we owed Dr. Leonard $59,160.

Note 5 – Capital

On January 15, 2016 we issued 13,000,000 common shares to acquire all of the members’ interests in Photosweep, LLC. We valued the common stock at the grant date fair value, and included this amount in our acquisition cost of $353,600, or $0.027 per share.

On January 1, 2016, we re-negotiated certain convertible promissory notes with certain creditors in order to remove the provisions in the notes which caused of a derivative liability. We recorded this renegotiation by removing the derivative liability at December 31, 2015 and recording an increase to Additional Paid in Capital of $18,760.

In October, 2016, we issued 51,666,667 common shares to convert $60,000 of convertible notes payable, and $604 in accrued interest, to common stock.

In November, 2016, we received a Notice of Conversion from a holder of a US Dollar denominated convertible promissory note requesting a conversion of the outstanding principal and interest into the convertible amount of 2,142,857 common shares . We recorded a reduction of principal and interest of $10,000 and $586 of accrued interest, respectively, and we recorded an offsetting common stock payable in the amount of $10,586.

During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we issued 8,493,243 shares in conversion of two outstanding convertible promissory notes. We recorded a reduction of the balance of such notes of $37,822 and $15,959, respectively. We recognized no gain or loss on their conversions as they were converted within the terms of conversion.

During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we issued 6,700,000 shares pursuant to our agreement with four consultants. We valued the shares at their grant-date fair values and recorded expense of $84,329.

At June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had 1,687,982,960 and 1,672,789,717 common shares issued and outstanding, respectively, from a total of four billion authorized.

Preferred Stock

On September 29, 2016, the Company’s principal shareholders (“Principals”), Dr. Jon N. Leonard, Micheal P. Nugent, and Matthew W. Staker, offered to retire 1,379,510,380 of their common shares in exchange for a new series of non-trading preferred shares.

On October 5, 2016, the Board of Directors voted to accept the share retirement offer, and on October 20, 2016, the Company filed a Certificate of Designations with the State of Delaware creating 13,795,104 shares of Series D Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Shares”) to effect the exchange.

Share Exchange ratio and Preservation of Voting Rights

In the share exchange, each principal received 1 Preferred Share for each 100 common shares retired Each share of Preferred Shares entitles the holder to 100 votes (and each 1/100^th of a Preferred Share entitles the holder to one vote).

Conversion Rights

A holder may convert Preferred Shares to common under the following conditions:

Automatic conversion – each Preferred Share automatically converts to 100 common shares upon the earlier of

	·	The end of 5 years (5:00 PM EST, October 5, 2021), or

	·	A change of control

Table of Contents

Optional conversion - After October 5, 2017, each holder may convert each share into 100 shares of common stock immediately following a period of ten consecutive trading days during which the average closing or last sale price exceeds $3.00 per share. Also, each holder may convert into 110 shares of common stock at any time that the shares are listed on a National exchange (for example, the NYSE or NASDAQ).

Related-Party Stock Exchange

On October 27, 2016, the Company entered into the above outlined Share Exchange Agreement with related-parties

Common stock ownership structure immediately before and after execution of the Share Exchange Agreement was as follows:

	Common Stock Ownership
	Immediately Before					Effect of			Immediately After
	Shares		%			Agreement			Shares		%
Jon Leonard, PhD		1,387,829,545		46.5	%		(1,009,330,578	)		378,498,967		23.5	%

Imputed Interest

Certain of our promissory notes bear no nominal interest. We therefore imputed interest expense and increase Additional Paid in Capital. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, we imputed $4,780 of such interest.

Beneficial Conversion Features

As discussed in Note 6, we issued certain promissory notes in the United States containing beneficial conversion features. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we recorded an increase in Additional Paid in Capital of $177,040. We account for these Beneficial Conversion Features as debt discounts and amortize using the Effective Interest Method.

Table of Contents

Note 6 – Debt

Loans from related parties

As is discussed in Note 4, we owed $172,436 in related-party debts consisting of $99,749 and $13,527 unpaid principal and interest, respectively, to the 22^nd Trust and $59,160 owed to our CEO, Dr. Jon Leonard.

Convertible notes payable

During the year ended December 31, 2016, we borrowed $193,164 from 26 accredited investors in Australia. These promissory notes can be converted into shares of our common stock at the rate of AU$0.01 per share (the aggregate of which shares convertible for all outstanding Australian convertible notes at December 31, 2016 is 82,873,300). These notes are callable by the makers at any time and accrue interest at 5%. For the year ended December 31, 2016, we accrued $29,343 of interest on these notes and made no interest payments. We evaluated these notes for beneficial conversion features and calculated a value of $147,965, all of which has been immediately expensed as interest expense as the notes are due on demand.

Also during the year ended December 31, 2016, we issued four convertible promissory notes to four accredited investors in exchange for $109,758 in cash. These promissory notes can be converted into shares of our common stock at various separately-negotiated rates (the aggregate of which shares convertible for all outstanding USA convertible notes at December 31, 2016 is 28,473,915).

We evaluated these notes for beneficial conversion features and calculated a value of $77,852 which we are accounting for as debt discounts.

On January 1, 2016, we re-negotiated the eight U.S.-Dollar-denominated promissory notes that were outstanding at December 31, 2015, in order to remove the ratchet provisions which required that we account for those provisions as a derivative liability. The fair value of the derivative liability was the same at January 1, 2016 as it was on December 31, 2015 which was $23,812.

However, in so renegotiating, we granted the creditors new, lower conversion prices, which resulted in new beneficial conversion features of $110,000.

During the year ended December 31, 2016, we amortized $106,628 of debt discounts on convertible promissory notes originating in the United States to interest expense.

The aggregate amount of shares that may be issued upon conversion for convertible notes issued in both Australia and the Unites States is 111,347,215.

Convertible notes payable at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 and their classification into long-term and short-term were as follows:

Convertible promissory notes issued in Australia

During the six months ended June 30, we had one creditor convert to common stock. We issued 5,250,000 common shares and extinguished $37,822 and $2,049 in interest, respectively and recognized no gain or loss other than a $386 foreign exchange effect.

We accrued $12,390 of nominal interest on these notes for the six months ended June 30, 2017.

Australian convertible notes payable can convert to 77,873,300 common shares in the aggregate.

Convertible promissory notes issued in the United States

All convertible promissory notes issued in the United States bear interest at 5%, and contain conversion privileges which vary depending upon the date issued, but they may convert to an aggregate of 91,816,628 common shares.

During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we received $22,040 in loans pursuant to a convertible promissory note issued in 2016 on which the Company and the creditor agreed, on December 31, 2016, to extend the note to additional amounts paid to the Company by the creditor, inheriting the conversion and interest privileges from the original convertible promissory note. We evaluated this tranche of funding for beneficial conversion features and calculated a value of $22,040 which we are accounting for as debt discounts.

Also during the six months ended June 30, 2017, we received $4,000 on a previously-existing promissory note, written in 2016, for which a creditor had not contributed the full amount. All evaluations for the existence of Beneficial Conversion Features for the full value of this creditor’s note were performed in 2016.

During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we converted one U.S. convertible promissory note to common stock. We issued 743,243 shares to retire $11,000 and $534 of principal and interest, respectively, recognizing no gain or loss on the conversion. In addition, we issued 2,500,000 to retire an interest payable in the amount of $2,374.

During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we received $155,000 pursuant to three convertible promissory notes. We evaluated these notes for beneficial conversion features and calculated a value of $155,000 which we are accounting for as debt discounts.

Short-term portion of long-term debt

As discussed in the Long-term notes payable section of this Note, in 2016 we converted a trade account payable balance with a consultant in the amount of $34,250 to a three-year amortizing promissory note. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we paid this amortizing note in full.

Short-term notes payable

Short-term notes payable increased from $15,858 at December 31, 2016 to $16,946 which was all due to foreign exchange effect as of June 30, 2017.

Long-term notes payable

On August 9, 2016, we converted a trade account payable balance with a consultant in the amount of $34,250 to a three-year amortizing promissory note with interest at 5%. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we paid $30,693 and $627 in principal and interest, respectively, retiring the note.

Note 7 – Income Taxes

Deferred income taxes reflect the tax consequences on future years of differences between the tax bases:

	6/30/17			12/31/16

Net operating loss carry-forward		4,325,346			4,048,660

Deferred tax asset at 39%	$	1,686,885		$	1,578,977
Valuation allowance		(1,686,885	)		(1,578,977	)
Net future income taxes	$	-		$	-

In assessing the realizability of future tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the future tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of future tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of future tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Management has provided for a valuation allowance on all of its losses as there is no assurance that future tax benefits will be realized.

Our tax loss carry-forwards will begin to expire in 2030.

Overview

Tautachrome operates in the internet applications space, a space uniquely able to embrace fast growing and novel business. The iPhone, Google, Facebook, Amazon, Twitter, Android, Uber and numerous other examples are reminders of the ability of the internet applications space to surprise us with the arrival of wholly new business universes seemingly from out of nowhere.

Tautachrome is currently pursuing two avenues of business activity:

	1.	KlickZie technology-based business development and monetization, our high focus flagship activity to revolutionize smartphone-based picture and video interaction on the web

	2.	Smartphone app development and digital design, our activity to develop and monetize important in-house apps and to generate digital design revenue, an activity carried out by our wholly owned subsidiary Polybia Studios, Pty Ltd of Mermaid Beach, Queensland Australia

Our Appquisitions Division is being shelved for the time being.

1. KlickZie technology-based business activity

Tautachrome’s patent pending KlickZie technology addresses two major new needs of the internet age.

Tautachrome’s patented and patent pending KlickZie technology addresses a major new need and a major nw opportunity of the internet age.

The need is for a way to trust the pictures and videos we see on the web. The opportunity is to be able to use the pictures and videos we see on the web as impromptu windows od communication between people.

There is current need for a universally available, downloadable system that turns the everyday pictures and videos we take from our smartphones into imagery that is completely trustable to any third party seeing it. With such a system two kinds of imagery would appear on the web: On the one hand imagery whose trustworthiness everybody can be absolutely certain of, and on the other hand all the rest of the imagery which nobody has any idea of its trust worthiness. The KlickZie system aims to satisfy this fundamental need for universal trustability.

Solving the need for trustability also opens the door to an enormous new opportunity. This is the opportunity to use pictures and videos on the web to readily and safely interact with each other via the imagery itself. it is frequently the case that when you run across interesting imagery on the web you won’t know anything about it, including who the author is, who else may have seen it, or what others may think or know about it. By allowing people to interact with interesting or important pictures or videos by using the imagery itself as the portal of communication, the system can add the viewpoints and the information offerings of interacting people to the richness of the pictures and videos. This can be carried by the system into the future along with the imagery, as an evolving tapestry of interaction and imagery.

How KlickZie technology works: The KlickZie Activation Platform Consumers will download KlickZie’s free camera upgrade software into their mobile device (iPhone, Android or other smartphone) which thereafter activates the pictures and videos taken by their device using proprietary KlickZie technology. Behind the scenes, the powerful and secure KlickZie software will capture the imagery and all available metadata related to the imaging event, and mark the imagery and its metadata with advanced, highly undetectable KlickZie marking technology.

KlickZie Activation KlickZie activation will add a new world of usefulness to ordinary pictures and videos. People who come across an activated picture can communicate with an amenable author of the picture, or with amenable others who have seen the picture or with the data stored in the picture by merely clicking or touching the picture (“touch-to-comm”). The picture itself makes the communication happen. It does not matter where or how you come across an activated picture, you can engage it, interact with it, or share it, just by touching or clicking it.

What happens to an activated picture from its creation onward gets invisibly added to the picture’s data and can be tracked into the future. Activated pictures can answer many questions. For example, in a group photo you could ask: Have any of the people in my contacts list interacted with this picture? Are any of them engaging it right now? Who else besides my contacts have already engaged this picture in some way? And given an amenable author, who took it? Where? When?

Table of Contents

KlickZie’s activated pictures and videos will also possess the power to be completely trustable in the sense that any third party can be absolutely confident of the authenticity of the imagery because KlickZie pictures and videos will be secured in the KlickZie cloud at their creation where they remain until their creator or owner deletes them.

The upshot is that activation allows effective touch to comm with the authors and viewers of smartphone pictures and videos from every source, and activated pictures and videos can be completely trusted imagery.

KlickZie Product Rollout. Rolling out KlickZie requires hiring activity to round out the Company technical team. Additional required technical staff include: cloud architects, database engineers, image processing engineers, full stack software engineers, steganography software developers, app development software engineers, and smartphone code defense software engineers.

	·	Phase 1: Build the minimal testable KlickZie system –including the smartphone imaging engine and the service cloud (Rev 1 KlickZie system), identifying and fixing functionality deficiencies and user experience and interface hiccups, building a loyal base of early adopters and defining Rev 2.

	·	Phase 2: Build and release Rev 2 into a limited audience to optimize user experience and user interfaces, to define, build, test and finalize viral growth methodology, to finalize the smartphone imaging engine, to test/finalize the cloud subsystem for global scale up, to build a seed population of 200,000 contented users, and to plan global rollout.

	·	Phase 3: Roll out KlickZie system globally, culture by culture and language by language, adding support staff and services as rollout moves forward.

Monetizing. As presently conceived, the KlickZie product aims at revenues from four primary sources:

	·	Advertising Using pictures and videos as portals of communication allows the presentation of these communications in a framework of the Company’s choice, enabling advertisers to place paid ads within this framework (as is done by Google.)

	·	User premium service fees KlickZie is intended to be free to consumers. Since KlickZie is handling user imagery and user imagery-based communications, opportunities for users to gain extra KlickZie service are intended to be provided for a fee-based premium user membership.

	·	App Developer Revenue As conceived, the KlickZie imaging engine is a powerful tool for generating trustable imagery. The KlickZie cloud is intended to allow developers access to this powerful engine along with KlickZie-provided developer tools enabling them to develop apps of their own invention, access being granted under a revenue sharing arrangement.

	·	Enterprise Revenue Because as conceived the KlickZie imaging engine is a powerful tool for generating trustable imagery, it is able to support the needs of business and industrial enterprises for which trustable imagery from employees, customers or partners is mission critical. Are plans are to license our engine to enterprises on a license fee basis.

First KlickZie revenues. Our Plan of Operations is prepared for first revenues from enterprise users coming on line within the first year after the receipt of funding sufficient to round out the KlickZie team. Preparations for other KlickZie revenue are geared for the two year and out timeframe.

Funding

The KlickZie product rollout requires substantial funding. We plan on, and are now, seeking funds to finance KlickZie product rollout. Financing may be accomplished by incurring debt, by equity sale or through other means. There can be no assurances given that our funding efforts will be successful.

Table of Contents

The Company has developed a business model for a large US business that exploits KlickZie technology aimed at enhancing their bottom line and their public image. Tautachrome believes that the economic payoff of KlickZie will be attractive for companies with a global reach and with a large number of consumer customers.

We had general and administrative expenses of $204,515 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 versus $223,380 for the same period in 2016, or a about a 8% decrease, mostly due to reductions in our operations in Australia.

We issued no new notes in Australia during the current period.

During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we had other comprehensive loss of $52,395 versus a loss of $16,538 during the same period in 2016, all of which are currency translation effects resulting from exchange rate differences between the U.S. and Australian dollars.

Our net comprehensive losses of $387,385 and $482,789 during the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 are a result of the above items.

Interest expense increased from $39,741 during the three months ended June 30, 2016 to $73,408 during the same period in 2017. Due to increases in debt levels in the United States.

During the three months ended June 30, 2017, we had other comprehensive loss of $4,422 versus a gain of $17,225 during the same period in 2016, all of which are currency translation effects resulting from exchange rate differences between the U.S. and Australian dollars.

Our net comprehensive losses of $151,409 and $154,569 during the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 are a result of the above items.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis that contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.

The Company has $6,974 in cash and liabilities totaling $3,622,161. We are currently seeking financing to attain our business goals, but there is no guarantee that we will obtain such financing or, upon obtaining it, that we will be able to invest in productive assets that will result in positive cash flows from operations.

Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As shown in the accompanying financial statements, we had negative cash flows from operations, recurring losses, and negative working capital at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. These conditions raise substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern. Management intends to finance these deficits by making additional shareholder notes and seeking additional outside financing through either debt or sales of its common stock.

Plan of Operation

Our immediate term plans for operations is discussed extensively in Item 7 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation included in our Form 10-K as of December 31, 2016, filed with the Commission on April 19, 2017 and is herein incorporated by reference.

ITEM 3 – QUANTITIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

A smaller reporting company is not required to provide the information required by this item.

ITEM 4 – CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

We maintain "disclosure controls and procedures" as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of disclosure controls and procedures are met. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

Based upon the evaluation of our officers and directors of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2017, the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the "Evaluation Date"), our Chief Executive Officer has concluded that as of the Evaluation Date that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective such that the information relating to our company, required to be disclosed in our Securities and Exchange Commission reports (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as a result of material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. We are a small organization with only a few employees. Under these circumstances it is impossible to completely segregate duties. We do not expect our internal controls to be effective until such time as we are able to begin full operations and even then there are no assurances that our disclosure controls will be adequate in future periods.

Change In Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the six months ended June 30, 2017 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
