Note 2 – Basis of presentation
Interim financial statements
The unaudited interim financial statements included herein, presented in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles and stated in US dollars, have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.
These statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for fair presentation of the information contained therein. It is suggested that these interim financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2015 and notes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K. The Company follows the same accounting policies in the preparation of interim reports.
Results of operations for the interim periods are not indicative of annual results.

The Company had 5 major customers which generated approximately 61% (15%, 14%, 12%, 10% and 10%) of total revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2015.
Note 3– Going concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has a net loss of $931,221 for the six months ended June 30, 2016, accumulated deficit of $5,467,050 and had a working capital deficit of $2,240,629 as of June 30, 2016. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
In order to continue as a going concern, the Company will need, among other things, additional capital resources. The Company is significantly dependent upon its ability, and will continue to attempt, to secure additional equity and/or debt financing. There are no assurances that the Company will be successful and without sufficient financing it would be unlikely for the Company to continue as a going concern.
The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might arise from this uncertainty.

Note 9 - Stockholders' equity
The Company was originally authorized to issue 100,000,000 shares of common stock and 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock. On May 6, 2014, the Company effected a forward stock split and a pro-rata increase in its authorized common stock on a basis of 14-to-1, whereby each shareholder received 14 newly issued shares of common stock for each 1 share held. Additionally, the number of authorized shares increased to 1,400,000,000 shares of common stock. All references to share and per share amounts in the consolidated financial statements and these notes thereto have been retroactively restated to reflect the forward stock split.
On May 3, 2016, the Company entered into, an agreement with Hypur Ventures, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the "Hypur Ventures") which is a related party pursuant to which the Company sold to Hypur Ventures, in a private placement, 10,000,000 shares of the Company's preferred stock and 5,000,000 common stock warrants with a five year term and an exercise price of $0.10, at a purchase price of $0.05 per share for gross proceeds of $500,000. The shares of Preferred Stock are convertible into shares of the Company's common stock. The Preferred Stock shall have such other rights, preferences and privileges to be set forth in a certificate of designation to be filed with the Secretary of State. The Company evaluated the convertible preferred stock under FASB ASC 470-20-30 and determined it contained a beneficial conversion feature. The intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature was determined to be $114,229. The beneficial conversion feature was fully amortized and recorded as a deemed dividend.
Hypur Ventures has an option to purchase up to an additional 10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock and 5,000,000 common stock warrants at a price of $0.05 per share.
For each share of Preferred Stock purchased by Hypur Ventures, the Company will issue a warrant for the purchase of one-half share of the Company's Common Stock, at an exercise price of $0.10 per share.
The Preferred Stock is convertible at any time at the election of Hypur Ventures. The Preferred Stock shall automatically convert to Common Stock if the closing price of the Company's Common Stock equals or exceeds $.50 per share over any consecutive twenty day trading period. The Preferred Stock terms include a one-time purchase price preference. No preferential dividends apply to the Preferred Stock. The Preferred Stock attributes include weighted average anti-dilution protection, rights to appoint one director, pre-emptive rights to purchase future offerings of securities by the Company, demand and piggy-back registration rights.
The Company has reserved thirty million shares of Common Stock that may be issued upon the conversion and/or exercise of the Preferred Stock and the Warrants. The Preferred Stock to Hypur Ventures will be subject to the terms and conditions of the Certificate of Designation, as well as further documentation to be drafted in accordance with the terms and conditions agreed upon between the Company and Hypur Ventures.
Note 10 – Options
All stock options have an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant. The fair value of each option award is estimated using a Black-Scholes-Merton option valuation model. The Company has not paid any cash dividends on its common stock and does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Consequently, the Company uses an expected dividend yield of zero in the Black-Scholes-Merton option valuation model. Volatility is an estimate based on the calculated historical volatility of similar entities in industry, in size and in financial leverage, whose share prices are publicly available. The expected life of awards granted represents the period of time that they are expected to be outstanding. The Company has no historical experience with which to establish a basis for determining an expected life of these awards. Therefore, the Company only gave consideration to the contractual terms and did not consider the vesting schedules, exercise patterns and pre-vesting and post-vesting forfeitures significant to the expected life of the option award. The Company bases the risk-free interest rate used in the Black-Scholes-Merton option valuation model on the implied yield currently available on U.S. Treasury issues with an equivalent remaining term equal to the expected life of the award.
