Item 1. Business.

 

Overview and History

 

Trailblazer Resources, Inc., formerly Energy Composites Corporation (“we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”) currently is a holding company with no ongoing business operations. We were incorporated on October 29, 1992 under the laws of the State of Nevada. Prior to October 14, 2008, we were defined as a “shell” company whose sole purpose was to locate and consummate a merger or acquisition with a private entity. As of October 14, 2008, we completed a reverse acquisition of Advanced Fiberglass Technologies, Inc., a Wisconsin corporation (“AFT”). Pursuant to the reverse acquisition, we issued 28,750,000 shares of our common stock to AFT’s shareholders (approximately 72% of the then issued and outstanding common stock) and AFT’s shareholders gained voting control of our Company. As a result of the reverse acquisition, we were no longer considered a “shell” company and AFT became our wholly-owned subsidiary. On August 23, 2010, AFT changed its name to ECC Corrosion, Inc. (“ECC-C”).

 

ECC-C was incorporated in the state of Wisconsin on January 1, 2005, following nearly ten years operating as M&W Fiberglass, LLC (“M&W”). Founded in 1995 by Jamie and Jennifer Mancl, M&W was the operating entity that developed and operated ECC-C’s business. In January 2005, M&W transferred all operating assets and liabilities into a newly formed S-Corporation: ECC-C.

 

On December 15, 2008, we closed a private offering of units consisting of (i) a 3-year, 6% convertible debenture (the “Debentures”) with a conversion price of $2.50 per share, and (ii) a number of warrants (the “Warrants”) exercisable into shares of the Company’s common stock equal to the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the principal amount of the Debentures. Each Warrant was originally exercisable into shares of common stock for a term of 3 years at $5.00 per share. We issued Debentures with a face amount of $6,370,000 and Warrants exercisable into 2,548,000 shares of common stock. As of December 31, 2016, Debentures in the total principal amount of $5,970,000 have been converted into common stock of the Company, including $150,000 in December 2016, however, the majority of which occurred prior to 2013. The number of shares of common stock issued as principal and interest for these conversions has totaled 2,474,926 shares through December 31, 2016 and 82,998 were in common stock payable as of December 31, 2016 and subsequently issued in January 2017.

 

On March 8, 2010, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the temporary reduction of the exercise price of outstanding Warrants to $2.50 per share from $5.00 per share. The temporary exercise price reduction was valid from March 22, 2010 through May 6, 2010. After May 6, 2010, the warrants reverted back to their original terms. During 2010, the Company received $590,823 related to the exercise of 236,329 warrants to purchase its common stock at $2.50 per share from warrant holders.

 

On September 2, 2011 the Board of Directors of the Company, acting on the recommendation of its disinterested directors, approved the sale of all of the stock of ECC-C to Jamie and Jennifer Mancl and their affiliated entities who were the majority shareholders of the Company (the “Mancls”) in exchange for substantially all of the Mancls’ shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to the terms of a Stock Purchase Agreement dated August 12, 2011 (the “ECC-C Sale”). This decision was made due to the continuing operating losses that had been incurred since the reverse acquisition of AFT on October 14, 2008. As additional funding was going to be required, it was determined to be in the best interests of the Company to dispose of this operating subsidiary. On October 21, 2011, the Company completed the ECC-C Sale and the Company cancelled 24,039,180 shares of the Company that had been owned by the Mancls. After the ECC-C Sale, we were once again a shell company. We changed the name of the Company to Trailblazer Resources, Inc. effective October 17, 2011.

 

On December 15, 2011, the Board of Directors extended the expiration date of the remaining 2,311,671 Warrants that had been issued in connection with the convertible Debentures in 2008 to December 31, 2012 and reduced the exercise price to $1.50 per share. Since December 31, 2012, the expiration date has been extended several times and the exercise price was further reduced. The Warrants expired on June 30, 2014.

Our Plan of Operations

 

Since the disposition of ECC-C in 2011, our plan of operations has been to identify and evaluate industries and business opportunities in order to find a suitable acquisition target for the Company.

 

On July 20, 2012, we executed an agreement with Temple Mountain Energy, Inc., a Minnesota corporation (“TME”), to acquire TME’s assets. On April 12, 2013, we determined not to proceed with the proposed transaction since the results of our due diligence investigation were not satisfactory.

 

On September 9, 2013, we executed an asset acquisition agreement with Solus Industries, LLC, a Minnesota limited liability company (“Solus”) engaged in providing commercial roofing, heating/ventilation/air-conditioning and refrigeration systems. Effective October 25, 2013, we terminated the asset acquisition agreement with Solus due to unsatisfactory results of our due diligence investigation.

 

On December 8, 2016, we entered into a mutually binding letter of intent to acquire Global CashSpot Corp (“GCS”). Under the terms of the letter of intent, we were to issue 37,809,039 newly issued shares of the Company in exchange for all outstanding shares of GCS. Both parties intended that the transaction would close within 60 days, unless extended by mutual agreement of both parties. On February 8, 2017, the parties agreed to extend the date by which closing would occur to March 31, 2017. As a condition precedent to closing, the Company was to obtain all necessary shareholder authorizations to change its name to Global CashSpot Corp, and bring its SEC reporting obligations current. GCS is a financial technology company deploying a proprietary cross-border payment network that enables un-banked or self- banked consumers around the world to transfer money, via computer or mobile device from anywhere in the world using a branded prepaid debit card. The Company abandoned the plans to acquire GCS in early 2018.

 

As a result of the aforementioned acquisition agreement terminations, our ongoing plan of operations is to continue to seek, identify and acquire a suitable business.

Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The methods, estimates and judgments that we use in applying our critical accounting policies have a significant impact on the results that we report in our financial statements. Some of our accounting policies require us to make difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates regarding matters that are inherently uncertain. We also have other policies that we consider key accounting policies; however, these policies typically do not require us to make estimates or judgments that are difficult or subjective.

 

We have identified the accounting policies that we consider critical in Note 1 “Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies” of the notes to our financial statements included in this report.

 

Overview

 

Trailblazer Resources, Inc., formerly Energy Composites Corporation (“we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company”), a Nevada corporation, currently has no business operations.

 

The Company had one operating subsidiary, ECC Corrosion, Inc. (“ECC-C”), which was sold on October 21, 2011 due to the continuing losses that the Company had incurred since the reverse acquisition in October 2008. Formerly known as Advanced Fiberglass Technologies (“AFT”), ECC-C was incorporated in the state of Wisconsin on January 1, 2005, following nearly ten years operating as M&W Fiberglass, LLC (“M&W”). Founded in 1995 by Jamie and Jennifer Mancl, M&W was the operating entity that developed and operated AFT’s business. In January 2005, M&W transferred all operating assets and liabilities into a newly formed S-Corporation: AFT. On September 1, 2010, AFT changed its name to ECC Corrosion, Inc.

 

On October 21, 2011, the Company sold all of the stock of ECC-C to Jamie and Jennifer Mancl and their affiliated entities (the “Mancls”) in exchange for substantially all of the Mancls’ shares of the Company’s common stock (the “ECC-C Sale”). These shares were then cancelled, reducing the number of shares issued and outstanding of the Company to 22,752,955. In addition, we changed the name of the Company to “Trailblazer Resources, Inc.” effective October 17, 2011.

 

Results of Operations

 

We currently do not generate any revenues, but incur general and administrative expenses related to our status as a publicly-held company, such as legal, accounting and transfer agent fees, as well as other applicable expenses such as investor relations expenses.

 

General and administrative expenses

 

Total general and administrative expenses were $148,104 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017 and $90,749 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, consisting of legal, accounting and other professional fees. The increase is due to additional legal and accounting costs associated with efforts to become current in the Company’s SEC filings and impending merger related costs in 2017 compared to 2016.

 

Loss from operations

 

The Company’s net loss from operations was $148,104 and $90,749 for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The increase in our net loss from operations was due to higher general and administrative costs and consulting expenses in the current year as discussed above.

 

Gain on extinguishment of debt

 

The Company recognized a loss on extinguishment debt of $17,180 and a $38,259 gain on extinguishment of debt during the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The 2017 loss occurred as a result of the conversion of $33,041 of accrued interest for shares of company common stock with a fair value of $50,221 and the prior gain on extinguishment of debt was related to the conversion of certain convertible noteholders exchanging debt of $150,000 and accrued interest of $24,453 in exchange for shares of company common stock with an aggregate fair market value of $136,194 on the respective conversion dates in December 2016.

Interest expense

 

Interest expense was $32,391 for the year ended December 31, 2017 compared to $43,948 for the year ended December 31, 2016. Interest expense during 2017 and 2016 primarily consisted of accrued interest on (a) convertible promissory notes of $24,000 and $32,730, (b) a revolving convertible note of $4,375 and $4,375, and (c) notes payable to a related party of $4,003 and $6,843, respectively.

 

Income tax benefit

 

In 2009, the Company established a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets because it was deemed more likely than not, that the net deferred tax assets would not be realized. Since 2009, the Company has continued to record a full valuation allowance and therefore, there is no tax provision recorded for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016.

 

Net loss

 

The Company’s net loss increased from $96,438 in 2016 to a loss of $197,675 in 2017 due to the factors described above.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

At December 31, 2017, the corporate shell company had no cash and a working capital deficiency of $1,717,817.

 

Operating Cash Flows

 

Operating activities used $125,292 in cash during the 2017 fiscal year compared to using $76,886 during the 2016 fiscal year.

 

Investing Cash Flows

 

There were no investing transactions during the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016.

 

Financing Cash Flows

 

Financing cash flow activities for the year ended December 31, 2017 consisted of proceeds from a promissory note of $124,943.

 

Financing cash flow activities for the year ended December 31, 2016 consisted of: (1) an increase in short-term notes payable of $46,000, (2) payments on short-term notes payable to shareholders of $25,213, and (3) an increase in short-term notes payable, shareholder of $36,638 and investor advances of $17,500.

 

Debenture Financing

 

From August 2008 to December 2008, we raised $6,370,000 by selling units, each unit consisting of (i) a 3-year, 6% convertible debenture (the “Debentures”) with a conversion price of $2.50 per share (subject to adjustment for stock splits and stock dividends), and (ii) a number of warrants equal to the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the principal amount of the Debenture (the “Warrants”). The Debentures sold included the issuance of 2,548,000 Warrants. Each Warrant was originally exercisable into shares of common stock for a term of 3 years at $5.00 per share. The Warrants also provided anti-dilution protection for the following events: reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger or sale; subdivision, combination or dividend of our common stock. The Warrants expired June 30, 2014.

 

 8 
   

 

At December 31, 2017 and 2016, Debentures totaling $400,000 were outstanding and currently due. Many of the remaining Debenture holders have elected to receive interest in the form of stock, lowering our cash outlays for debt service on the Debentures. Since the Company does not have the capital resources at this time to repay these Debentures, we are working with the Debenture holders in an attempt to convert them to common stock, extend or otherwise renegotiate their terms. In December 2016, certain debenture holders converted $150,000 in outstanding principal and $24,453 in accrued interest payable to 69,782 shares of common stock. Additionally, 13,216 shares were issued to pay $33,041 of accrued interest for non-converting debentures. The shares were issued in January 2017 and consequently recorded as common stock payable as of December 31, 2016. The accrued interest expense included in accrued expenses was $124,175 and $133,217 as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

 

Revolving Convertible Note Financing

 

On February 21, 2013, the Company established an unsecured revolving convertible note in the amount of $250,000 with Diversified Equities Partners, LLC, a shareholder of the Company (“DEP”). Under the terms of the note, DEP had agreed to make loans to the Company during the three-year term of the revolving credit commitment period. Interest accrued on the unpaid principal balance at a rate of eight percent per annum and required quarterly payments beginning May 31, 2013; however, none of the interest has been paid as of December 31, 2017.

 

During 2015, the entire $250,000 principal balance of the revolving note was repaid, funded entirely by the proceeds of the note payable from GCS, discussed in Note 4. Note Payable. Accrued expenses include $49,260 of interest due to shareholders relating to this revolving convertible note as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

 

Note Payable Financing

 

On April 15, 2015, we established a promissory note in the amount of $250,000 with Global CashSpot Corp (“GCS”). Under the terms of the promissory note, GCS agreed to advance the Company funds up to $250,000 to fund accounting, legal and other operating costs. The unsecured promissory note was non-interest bearing, and repayment was to be due within 60 days following notice of demand by GCS. In the event the Company were to enter into a business combination with GCS, the promissory note would be deemed paid in full. In September 2015, the Company and GCS agreed to amend the promissory note, increasing its amount to $350,000. The borrowing amount was further increased to $515,000 and $523,500 in February and August 2016, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, GCS advanced $108,393 and $46,000 under the promissory note, respectively. The balance of the notes payable are $648,443 and $523,500 as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

 

Going Forward

 

The illiquidity and continuing losses suffered by ECC-C led to its sale to the Mancls in exchange for their shares in the Company. This allows the Company to potentially acquire another business operation, which hopefully will have a greater potential for profitability. The Company will still need to convert, extend or otherwise renegotiate the terms of the Debentures and other financings described above. The Company is relying upon the limited funds provided from shareholders to continue to operate as a public company in good standing while we look for a target business. The Company anticipates that any acquisition with a target company will be consummated primarily through the issuance of the Company’s shares of stock, as we do not have sufficient cash to use for such purposes.

 

We will need to seek additional funding for our operations and ongoing general and administrative expenses. Our current plan is to identify and evaluate industries and business opportunities in order to identify a suitable acquisition target for the Company. We cannot give any assurance that we will be successful in this effort or that if a suitable acquisition target is obtained, it will result in profitable operations nor can we give any assurances that we will obtain adequate funding to stay in business until a suitable acquisition target is identified.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As of December 31, 2017, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

To the shareholders and the board of directors of Trailblazer Resources, Inc.

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Trailblazer Resources, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

Substantial Doubt about the Company’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company’s significant operating losses raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

TRAILBLAZER RESOURCES, INC.

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Note 1. Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies

 

Nature of Business

 

Trailblazer Resources, Inc., (the “Company”), is a public shell company that is seeking a business opportunity. We currently have no on-going business operations.

 

The Company formerly engaged in the manufacture, sale, installation and service of fiberglass tank and piping products through ECC Corrosion, Inc. (“ECC-C”), a former wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. On September 2, 2011, the Board of Directors of the Company, acting on the recommendation of its disinterested directors, approved the sale of all of the stock of ECC-C to Jamie and Jennifer Mancl and their affiliated entities who were the majority shareholders of the Company (the “Mancls”) in exchange for substantially all of the Mancls’ shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to the terms of a Stock Purchase Agreement dated August 12, 2011 (the “ECC-C Sale”). On October 21, 2011, the Company completed the ECC-C Sale.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Concentrations of Risk

 

The Company maintains its cash in high-quality financial institutions. The balances, at times, may exceed the federally insured limits.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

For purposes of balance sheet presentation, the Company considers all unrestricted demand deposits, money market funds, savings funds and investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents.

 

Income Taxes

 

Income taxes are provided for using the asset and liability method of accounting. A deferred tax asset or liability is recorded for all differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis, and for tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effect of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.

 

The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) guidance. This guidance prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company believes its income tax filing positions and deductions will be sustained upon examination and, accordingly, no reserves, or related accruals for interest and penalties has been recorded at December 31, 2017 and 2016. In accordance with the guidance, the Company has adopted a policy under which, if required to be recognized in the future, interest related to the underpayment of income taxes will be classified as a component of interest expense and any related penalties will be classified in operating expenses in the statements of operations. The Company’s remaining open tax years subject to examination include the years ended December 31, 2010 through 2017.

TRAILBLAZER RESOURCES, INC.

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Advertising Expense

 

The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. The Company had no advertising expense during the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The Company’s financial instruments included on the balance sheet include cash, accounts payable, and debt. Fair values of accounts payable and cash were assumed to approximate cost or carrying values.

 

At December 31, 2017 and 2016, it is deemed impracticable to estimate the fair value of the Company’s debt, as (a) quoted market prices are not available, and (b) the debt involves a related party. A valuation model necessary to estimate the fair value has not been developed, and the cost of obtaining an independent valuation is deemed excessive in relation to the value of the debt held by the Company.

 

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

 

Comprehensive income (loss) includes net income (loss) and items defined as other comprehensive income (loss). Items defined as other comprehensive income (loss) include items such as foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized gains and losses on certain marketable securities. For the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, there were no adjustments to net loss to arrive at comprehensive loss.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain items previously reported were reclassified for consistency with the current presentation.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

The Company has no operations during the periods presented. Therefore, no new accounting standards issued or effective during the year ended December 31, 2017 had or are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.

 

Note 2. Going Concern Uncertainty

 

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP, assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. At December 31, 2017, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $1,717,817 and an accumulated deficit of $25,269,366, and reported a net loss for the year then ended of $197,675.

 

The Company has limited financial resources, has been unprofitable since its inception and currently has no source of revenue generating activities. These factors raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management plans to rely on advances from certain shareholders to fund its ongoing obligations; however, there is no guarantee that the Company will be able to obtain an adequate amount of funding. If the Company is unable to obtain the necessary funding, the Company may need to liquidate. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

Note 3. Convertible Notes Payable

 

In August 2008, the Company began a private placement offering of Units, each Unit consisting of (i) a 3-year, 6% convertible debenture with a conversion price of $2.50 (the “Conversion Price”) per share (subject to adjustment for stock splits and stock dividends) (the “Debentures”), and (ii) a number of warrants equal to the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the principal amount of the Convertible Debenture (the “Warrants”).

 

The private placement was closed on December 14, 2008. Debentures in the aggregate principal amount of $6,370,000 were sold which included the issuance of 2,548,000 Warrants (expired). The Debentures are considered to be conventional convertible debt.

 

 16 
   

 

TRAILBLAZER RESOURCES, INC.

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

All outstanding Debentures, totaling $400,000 at both December 31, 2017 and 2016, are past their maturity dates and are currently due on demand. The effective annual interest rate for both of the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 was 6%. As the current stock price is below the exercise price, the Debentures are out of the money; therefore no Beneficial conversion feature and gain or loss would be recorded upon a conversion.

 

In December 2016, certain debenture holders converted $150,000 in outstanding principal and $24,453 in accrued interest payable to 69,782 shares of common stock. The shares were issued in January 2017 and consequently recorded as common stock payable as of December 31, 2016. Additionally, 13,216 shares were issued to pay $33,041 of accrued interest for non-converting debentures in the year ended December 31, 2017. Accrued interest payable included in accrued expenses was $124,175 and $133,217 as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

 

Note 4. Note Payable

 

On April 15, 2015, the Company established a promissory note in the amount of $250,000 with Global CashSpot Corp (“GCS”). Under the terms of the promissory note, GCS agreed to advance the Company funds up to $250,000 to fund accounting, legal and other operating costs. The unsecured promissory note was non-interest bearing, and repayment was to be due within 60 days following notice of demand by GCS. In the event the Company were to enter into a business combination with GCS, the promissory note would be deemed paid in full. In September 2015, the Company and GCS agreed to amend the promissory note, increasing its amount to $350,000. The borrowing amount was further increased to $515,000 and $523,500 in February and August 2016, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, GCS advanced $124,943 and $46,000 under the promissory note, respectively. The balance of the notes payable are $648,443 and $523,500 as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

 

Note 5. Advances From Shareholders

 

Subsequent to the divestiture of the Company’s operating entity (ECC-C) on October 21, 2011, the Company’s operating expenses have been funded primarily by advances from certain shareholders. Going forward, the Company will continue to incur ongoing professional fees in connection with being a public company. At December 31, 2017 and 2016, $344,562, is owed to certain shareholders who have made unsecured advances to the Company to fund operations. Included in the balance in each year is a $125,000 advance bearing a 3.5% interest rate, and is due upon demand. The remaining shareholder advance balances at December 31, 2017 and 2016 are non-interest bearing and due upon demand.

 

On February 21, 2013, the Company established a revolving convertible line of credit arrangement in the amount of $250,000 with DEP as described in Note 7, Revolving Convertible Note, Shareholder.

 

During 2015, the Company repaid $50,000 of shareholder advances, funded entirely by the proceeds of the note payable from GCS, discussed in Note 4. Note Payable.

 

During 2017 and 2016, $4,375 of interest expense was incurred on the $125,000 advance from shareholders, all of which $25,400 and $21,025 accrued interest was outstanding and included in accrued expenses at December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. All other advances are unsecured, non-interest bearing, and due on demand.

 

Note 6. Note Payable to Shareholder

 

In July 2013, the Company entered into a revised consulting agreement with the Company’s contract controller, JIMMAR Consulting, Inc. (“JIMMAR”), providing for consulting fees. The Company’s debt to JIMMAR, amounted to $26,668 at December 31, 2017 and 2016. The debt agreement required payment of the entire outstanding balance on or before December 31, 2013, with interest accruing at a rate of 15% per annum. Interest was to be paid in cash, or could, at the Company’s option, be paid in common shares of the Company’s stock, based on a conversion price of $0.37 per share. During the years ended December 31, 2016, the Company received advances of $36,638 offset against payments of $25,213 for net advances of $11,425. Accrued interest on the note payable to shareholder was $35,228 and $31,225 at December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and is included in accrued expenses.

TRAILBLAZER RESOURCES, INC.

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Note 7. Revolving Convertible Note, Shareholder

 

On February 21, 2013, the Company established an unsecured revolving convertible note in the amount of $250,000 with Diversified Equities Partners, LLC, a shareholder (“DEP”). Under the terms of the note, DEP had agreed to make loans to the Company during the three-year term of the revolving credit commitment period. Interest accrued on the unpaid principal balance at a rate of eight percent per annum and required quarterly payments beginning May 31, 2013; however, none of the interest has been paid as of December 31, 2017.

 

During 2015, the entire $250,000 principal balance of the revolving note was repaid, funded entirely by the proceeds of the note payable from GCS, discussed in Note 4. Note Payable. Accrued expenses include $49,260 of interest due to shareholders relating to this revolving convertible note as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

 

Note 8. Stockholders’ Equity

 

Stock Issuances and Warrants

 

There were no common stock or warrant issuances during the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016.

 

Converted Debt ~ Common Stock Payable

 

In December 2016, eight of twelve of the Company’s convertible note holders consented to convert $275,000 of their notes payable in exchange for shares of the Company’s common stock at $2.50 per share. Five of these notes, aggregating to $150,000 have conversion dates in December 2016. For the remaining $125,000 of these notes, the noteholders consented to convert their notes upon closing of the GCS transaction. To further facilitate the GCS transaction, the Company’s Board of Directors reinstated the original conversion price of $2.50 per share for all unpaid accrued interest payable on the convertible notes. The shares were issued on January 20, 2017 in conjunction with these conversions. The interest related to the converting debentures was $24,453, which, together with the principal of $150,000, translated to 69,782 shares of stock. In addition, debenture holders converted $33,041 in accrued interest payable to 13,216 shares of common stock which were issued in January 2017. As of January 20, 2017, 82,998 shares have been issued in conjunction with these conversions and related accrued interest.

 

Share cancellation

 

In April 2017, the Company cancelled and returned to treasury 3,375,000 shares of its common stock. Since the shares had been issued in contemplation of a transaction that was not consummated because of third party failure to meet due diligence requirements, cancellation of the shares was warranted.

 

Note 9. Income Taxes

 

The income tax provision (benefit) consisted of the following for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016:

 

   Years Ended December 31, 
   2017   2016 
         
Current  $   $ 
Deferred   54,000    38,000 
Subtotal   54,000    38,000 
Change in valuation allowance   54,000    38,000 
Income tax expense  $   $ 

 

At December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company reviewed all available evidence pertaining to the realization of the Company’s recorded deferred tax assets. The negative evidence available to the Company at December 31, 2017 and 2016 included the Company’s continued significant operating losses recorded through December 31, 2017 and 2016 and the divestiture of the Company’s only operating business on October 31, 2011. Based on the weighting of the evidence, the Company concluded that a full valuation allowance was needed as of December 31, 2017 and 2016.

TRAILBLAZER RESOURCES, INC.

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Significant components of the Company’s estimated deferred tax assets and liabilities at December 31 are as follows:

 

   December 31, 
   2017   2016 
         
Net operating loss carry forwards  $1,572,000   $2,184,000 
Other   1,000    1,000 
    1,573,000    2,185,000 
Valuation allowance   (1,573,000)   (2,185,000)
Net deferred tax asset  $   $ 

 

As of December 31, 2017, the Company has federal net operating loss carryforwards (“NOL’s”) of approximately $5,760,000 that will be available to reduce future taxable income, if any. These NOL’s begin to expire in 2035. Sections 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, provide for annual limitations on the utilization of net operating loss and credit carryforwards if the Company were to undergo an ownership change, as defined in Section 382 of the Code. In general, an ownership change occurs whenever the percentage of the shares of a corporation owned, directly or indirectly, by 5-percent shareholders, as defined in Section 382 of the Code, increases by more than 50 percentage points over the lowest percentage of the shares of such corporation owned, directly or indirectly, by such 5-percent shareholders at any time over the preceding three years. In the event such ownership change occurs, the annual limitation may result in the expiration of the net operating losses prior to full utilization.

 

The Company performs an analysis each year to determine whether the expected future income will more likely than not be sufficient to realize the deferred tax assets. No tax benefit has been reported in the financial statements, since the potential tax benefit is offset by a valuation allowance of the same amount.

 

On December 22, 2017, the U.S. government enacted comprehensive tax legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Cut and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”). The Tax Act establishes new tax laws that affects 2018 and future years, including a reduction in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate to 21%, effective January 1, 2018. For certain deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities, we have recorded a provisional decrease of $689,000 with a corresponding adjustment to valuation allowance of $689,000 as of December 2017.

 

As of December 31, 2017, open tax years include the period from January 1, 2013 through December 31, 2016.

 

The Company applies the standard relating to accounting (ASC 740-10) for uncertainty in income taxes, which prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Company is required to recognize in the financial statements the impact of a tax position, if that position is more likely than not of being sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position. There were no significant unrecognized tax benefits recorded as of December 31, 2017 and 2016.

 

The reconciliation of the tax provision (benefit) compared at the statutory rate to the effective tax rate is as follows for the years ended December 31:

 

   Years Ended December 31, 
   2017   2016 
Expected statutory rate   (21.0)%   (34.0)%
State income tax rate, net of Federal benefit   (6.3)%   (5.3)%
Permanent differences          
Other   %   %
    (27.3)%   (39.3)%
Valuation allowance   27.3%   39.3%

Note 10. Related Party Transactions

 

During 2015, the entire $250,000 principal balance of the revolving note was repaid, funded entirely by the proceeds of the note payable from GCS, discussed in Note 4. Note Payable. Accrued expenses include $49,260 of interest due to shareholders relating to this revolving convertible note as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

 

Note 11. Commitments and Contingencies

 

Legal Proceedings

 

The Company may be subject to legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. As of the date hereof, we are not currently involved in any pending or threatened legal proceedings.

 

Note 12. Loss Per Share

 

The Company computes earnings (loss) per share using two different methods, basic and diluted, and presents per share data for all periods in which statements of operations are presented. Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding, so long as such equivalents are not anti-dilutive.

 

The following tables provide a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators used in calculating basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016:

 

   2017   2016 
         
Basic and diluted loss per share calculation:          
Net loss from continuing operations to common shareholders  $(197,675)  $(96,438)
Net loss to common shareholders  $(197,675)  $(96,438)
           
Weighted average common shares outstanding   25,052,288    28,334,290 
           
Net loss per share from continuing operations  $(0.01)  $-
Basic and diluted net loss per common share  $(0.01)  $-

 

The following common stock equivalents have been excluded from the diluted per share calculations because they are anti-dilutive:

 

(1). At both December 31, 2017 and 2016, there were outstanding convertible debentures equivalent to 220,000 common shares.

 

(2). At December 31, 2017 and 2016, there were no outstanding warrant equivalents.

 

(3). At December 31, 2017 and 2016, there were no outstanding option equivalents.

 

(4). At December 31, 2017 and 2016, there were no outstanding revolving convertible note equivalents.

 

(5). At December 31, 2016 there were 69,782 common shares payable to convertible debtholders.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Note 13. Subsequent Events

 

On December 8, 2016, we entered into a mutually binding letter of intent to acquire Global CashSpot Corp (“GCS”). Under the terms of the letter of intent, we were to issue 37,809,039 newly issued shares of the Company in exchange for all outstanding shares of GCS. Both parties intended that the transaction would close within 60 days, unless extended by mutual agreement of both parties. On February 8, 2017, the parties agreed to extend the date by which closing would occur to March 31, 2017. As a condition precedent to closing, the Company was to obtain all necessary shareholder authorizations to change its name to Global CashSpot Corp, and bring its SEC reporting obligations current. GCS is a financial technology company deploying a proprietary cross-border payment network that enables un-banked or self- banked consumers around the world to transfer money, via computer or mobile device from anywhere in the world using a branded prepaid debit card. The Company abandoned the plans to acquire GCS in early 2018.

 

In accordance with ASC 855-10, the Company has analyzed its operations subsequent to December 31, 2017 to the date of these financial statements were issued, and has determined that it does not have any material subsequent events to disclose in these financial statements other than the events described above.

Item 9. Changes In and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.

 

On September 12, 2017, the Company was notified by KLJ & Associates, LLP (“KLJ”) that the firm resigned as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. Other than as noted in the paragraph below, the report of KLJ on the Company’s financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and such reports were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.

 

The report of KLJ on the Company’s financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 contained explanatory paragraphs which noted that there was substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern as the Company had negative working capital and had incurred losses from operations that raised doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.

 

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, and through the interim period ended September 12, 2017, there were no “disagreements” (as such term is defined in Item 304 of Regulation S-K) with KLJ on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to KLJ’s satisfaction, would have caused it to make reference thereto in its reports on the Company’s financial statements for such periods.

 

On October 12, 2017, the Company appointed BF Borgers CPA PC (“Borgers”) in Lakewood, Colorado as its registered independent public accountant for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017. The decision to appoint Borgers was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors on October 12, 2017.

 

During the Company’s two most recent fiscal years and the subsequent interim period up through the date of engagement of Borgers (October 12, 2017), neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf consulted Borgers regarding the application of accounting principles to a specific completed or contemplated transaction, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the registrant’s financial statements. Further, Borgers has not provided the registrant with written or oral advice that was an important factor that the registrant considered in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing or financial reporting issues.

 

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures and Changes in Internal Controls

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Interim Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance the objectives of the control system are met.

 

As of December 31, 2017, our management carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, the Interim Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2017, because of the identification of the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting described below. Notwithstanding the material weakness that existed as of December 31, 2017, our Interim Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company and its subsidiaries in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is a set of processes designed by, or under the supervision of, a company’s principal executive and principal financial officers, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP and includes those policies and procedures that:

 

  Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect our transactions and dispositions of our assets;
  Provide reasonable assurance our transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of our financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and
  Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. It should be noted that any system of internal control, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system will be met. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Interim Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on criteria established in “Internal Control-Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in 1992, as of December 31, 2017.

 

As a result of our material weakness described below, management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2017, our internal control over financial reporting was not effective based on the criteria in “Internal Control-Integrated Framework” issued by COSO.

 

Material Weakness in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

A material weakness is a deficiency or combination of deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility, that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. In connection with its assessment, management identified the following material weaknesses at December 31, 2017:

 

  With the Company operating as a shell company, there is a lack of segregation of duties within the accounting and financial reporting process.
  Since we use external consultants to prepare our financial statements and provide sufficient documentation of such preparation and review procedures, our officers must rely on such documentation.

 

Due to our limited resources as a public shell company, we expect these weaknesses in internal control to continue while we search for an acquisition target.

 

This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to the rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

During the period covered by this annual report, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART III

 

Item 10. Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate Governance.

 

Our directors and officers, and their ages as of the date of this report, are as follows:

 

Name   Age   Current Position with Company
         
Mark Huelskamp   62   Interim Chief Executive Officer and Director
Bob A. Varma   67   Interim Chief Financial Officer, Secretary and Director

 

The term of office of each officer ends at the next annual meeting of our board of directors, expected to take place immediately after the next annual meeting of stockholders, or when such officer’s successor is elected and qualified. The Board of Directors expects that it will elect the current officers (including those also currently serving as directors) to return to their positions as officers of our Company until the next annual meeting of stockholders.

 

Mark Huelskamp has been a director since October 2011 and the interim chief executive officer since September 2016. From February 2001 to June 2015, he was the President of the Spokane Division of Core-Mark International, Inc., which is wholesale distributor of packaged consumer products to the convenience retail industry in North America.

 

Bob A. Varma was elected to serve as Interim Chief Financial Officer, Secretary and a director in September 2016. He has provided accounting and tax consulting services through his own firm since 1992 in Longwood, Florida. In addition, since June 2006 he has served as the chief financial officer of AW Solutions Inc. and AW Solutions Puerto Rico LLC, both telecommunications infrastructure companies and wholly-owned subsidiaries of Intercloud Systems, Inc., a publicly-held company. Mr. Varma has been a certified public accountant in Florida since 1994 and has been qualified as a chartered accountant in London since 1974.

 

We are not aware of any material proceedings to which any of the non-director executive officers, or any associate of any such officer, is a party adverse to us or has a material interest adverse to us or to any of our subsidiaries. There are no family relationships between any of our non-director executive officers. During the last five years, none of the non-director officers has (i) had any bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such person was an officer; (ii) had any conviction in a criminal proceeding or been subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses); (iii) been subject to any order, judgment, or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting his involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities; or (iv) been found by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil action), the SEC or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law.

 

No directorships are held by any director in any company with a class of securities registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or any company registered as an investment company, under the Investment Company Act of 1940.

 

Nominees to the Board of Directors

 

Since our last proxy statement, we have not made any material changes to the procedures by which stockholders may recommend nominees to our board of directors.

 

 24 

 

 

Committees

 

Our entire board of directors, rather than committees, acts on various items. The board of directors has determined that it does not have an audit committee financial expert.

 

Code of Ethics

 

Our Board has adopted a Code of Ethics that applies to all of our employees, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer and persons performing similar functions. The Code of Ethics addresses such topics as protection and proper use of our assets, compliance with applicable laws and regulations, accuracy and preservation of records, accounting and financial reporting, and conflicts of interest. The Code of Ethics is available in print, free of charge to any stockholder who sends a request for a paper copy to Trailblazer Resources, Inc., 2520 St. Rose Parkway, Suite 319, Henderson, Nevada 89074.

 

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

 

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our officers, directors, and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of our common stock to file reports of securities ownership and changes in such ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Officers, directors and greater than 10% beneficial owners are also required by rules promulgated by the SEC to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

 

Based solely upon a review of the copies of such forms furnished to us, or written representations that no Form 5 filings were required, we believe that during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, there was compliance with all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to our officers, directors and greater than 10% beneficial owners.

 

Item 11. Executive Compensation.

 

No compensation was paid to any of the Company’s executive officers during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016.

 

Outstanding Equity Awards at 2017 Year End

 

There were no outstanding equity awards at December 31, 2017.

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, we did not pay any compensation to our directors.

 

Stock Plans

 

Our stockholders adopted the 2008 Stock Incentive Plan on August 29, 2008, in order to attract, retain and motivate the employees, officers, directors and consultants of our Company and our affiliates and to provide incentives and rewards for superior performance. As of December 31, 2017, there were no outstanding options or other awards under the Stock Incentive Plan. The Stock Incentive Plan expired on July 31, 2018.

The following table sets forth certain information regarding beneficial ownership of our common stock on May 5, 2020 by each person who is known by us to own beneficially more than 5% of the outstanding shares of common stock and our current directors and executive officers. Shares of common stock subject to warrants currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of May 5, 2020 are deemed outstanding for purposes of computing the percentage ownership of the person holding such options or warrants, but are not deemed outstanding for purposes of computing the percentage ownership of any other person.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence.

 

Our officers and directors are now and may in the future become stockholders, officers or directors of other companies that may be engaged in business activities similar to those conducted by us. Accordingly, direct conflicts of interest may arise in the future with respect to such individuals acting on our behalf or other entities. Moreover, additional conflicts of interest may arise with respect to opportunities which come to the attention of such individuals in the performance of their duties or otherwise. Although we do not currently have a right of first refusal pertaining to opportunities that come to management’s attention insofar as such opportunities may relate to our business operations, we have established a conflict of interest policy intended to ensure timely disclosure and avoidance of activities and relationships that conflict with the interests of the Company.

 

Our officers and directors are subject to the restriction that all opportunities contemplated by our business plan which come to their attention, either in the performance of their duties or in any other manner, will be considered opportunities of, and be made available to our Company. A breach of this requirement will be a breach of the fiduciary duties of the officer or director.

 

All future affiliated transactions will be made or entered into on terms that are no less favorable to us than those that can be obtained from any unaffiliated third party. To the extent possible, a majority of the independent, disinterested members of our board of directors will approve future affiliated transactions.

 

Diversified Equity Partners, LLC. On February 21, 2013, the Company established an unsecured revolving convertible note in the amount of $250,000 with Diversified Equities Partners, LLC, a shareholder (“DEP”). Under the terms of the note, DEP had agreed to make loans to the Company during the three-year term of the revolving credit commitment period. Interest accrued on the unpaid principal balance at a rate of eight percent per annum and required quarterly payments beginning May 31, 2013; however, none of the interest has been paid as of December 31, 2017. During 2015, the entire $250,000 principal balance of the revolving note was repaid, funded entirely by the proceeds of the note payable from GCS, discussed in Note 4. Note Payable of the Notes to Financial Statements. Accrued expenses include $49,260 of interest due to shareholders relating to this revolving convertible note as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

JIMMAR Consulting, Inc. Consulting Agreement. In July 2013, the Company entered into a revised consulting agreement with the Company’s contract controller, JIMMAR Consulting, Inc. (“JIMMAR”), providing for consulting fees. The Company’s debt to JIMMAR, amounted to $26,668 at December 31, 2017 and 2016. The debt agreement required payment of the entire outstanding balance on or before December 31, 2013, with interest accruing at a rate of 15% per annum. Interest was to be paid in cash, or could, at the Company’s option, be paid in common shares of the Company’s stock, based on a conversion price of $0.37 per share. During the years ended December 31, 2016, the Company received advances of $36,638 offset against payments of $25,213 for net advances of $11,425. Accrued interest on the note payable to shareholder was $35,228 and $31,225 at December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and is included in accrued expenses.

 

Director Independence

 

The Board of Directors has determined that it does not have any independent directors as that term is defined by NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 5605(a)(2). In assessing the independence of the directors, the Board considers any transactions, relationships and arrangements between our Company and our independent directors or their affiliated companies. This review is based primarily on responses of the directors to questions in a director and officer questionnaire regarding employment, business, familial, compensation and other relationships with our Company or our management.

 

Item 14. Principal Accountant Fees and Services.

 

Fees paid to our principal accountants, BF Borgers and Associates, LLC. (“BF Borgers”) for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017 and KLJ & Associates, LLP (“KLJ”) for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 were as follows:

 

    Year Ended December 31,  
    2017     2016  
Audit fees (1) $ 32,400   $ 23,500  
Audit-related fees     -       -  
Tax fees     -       -  
All other fees     -       -  
Total fees $ 32,400   $ 23,500  

 

(1) The amount billed or to be billed to us for professional services related to the audit of our annual financial statements and included reviews of our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for that fiscal year.

 

The Board of Directors has considered whether the provision of the non-audit services described above by an external auditor is compatible with maintaining the auditor’s independence, and determined that these non-audit services are compatible with the required independence. The Board of Directors pre-approves all services to be provided to our Company by the independent auditors. This includes the pre-approval of (i) all audit services, and (ii) any significant (i.e., not de minimis) non-audit services. Before granting any approval, the Board of Directors gives due consideration to whether approval of the proposed service will have a detrimental impact on the auditor’s independence. All services provided by and fees paid to our independent auditors for 2017 and 2016 were pre-approved by the Board of Directors.
