GOING CONCERN

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As of December 31, 2019, the Company had approximately $16 in cash and cash equivalents, approximately $3,752 in negative working capital, and an accumulated deficit of approximately $19,390. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon raising capital from financing transactions and revenue from operations. Management anticipates their business will require substantial additional investments that have not yet been secured. Management is continuing in the process of fund raising in the private equity and capital markets as the Company will need to finance future activities. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

REVERSE SPLIT

The Company completed a reverse stock split of its common stock, by filing articles of amendment to its Articles of Incorporation (the "Articles of Amendment") with the Secretary of State of Florida to effect the Reverse Stock Split on August 8, 2018. As a result of the reverse stock split, the following changes have occurred (i) every three hundred shares of common stock have been combined into one share of common stock; (ii) the number of shares of common stock underlying each common stock option, common stock warrant or any other convertible instrument of the Company have been proportionately decreased on a 300-for-1 basis, and the exercise price of each such outstanding stock option, common warrant or any other convertible instrument of the Company have been proportionately increased on a 300-for-1 basis. Accordingly, all option numbers, share numbers, warrant numbers, share prices, warrant prices, exercise prices and losses per share have been adjusted within these consolidated financial statements, on a retroactive basis, to reflect this 300-for-1 reverse stock split. No fractional shares were issued as a result of the reverse stock split. In lieu of issuing fractional shares, each holder of common stock who would otherwise have been entitled to a fraction of a share was entitled to receive one full share for the fraction of a share to which he or she was entitled.
