The Company has reclassified $154,307 of accounts payable – related party as a reserve for settlement – related party.

Furthermore, if the fees were due, we believe we have offsetting transactions owed the Company by the former CEO. The Company has not proceeded with any legal actions at this time against the former CEO.
