PART II – RULES 12b-25(b) and (c)

(a)  The reason described in reasonable detail in Part III of this form   could not be eliminated without unreasonable effort or expense;

-ü-

(b)  The subject annual report, semi-annual report, transition report on Form 10-K, Form 20-F, 11-K, Form

(c)  The accountant’s statement or other exhibit required by Rule 12b-25(c) has been attached if applicable.

PART III – NARRATIVE

State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

During the three month period ended September 30, 2017 the Company entered into a series of debt and equity transactions, some of which included embedded derivatives.  The quantification of the transaction valuations (using a Black-Scholes valuation model in several instances) and subsequent accounting recognition and reporting required extra time on the part of the Company’s limited staff resources.

PART IV – OTHER INFORMATION

(1)  Name and telephone number of person to contact in regard to this notification.

          David G. Gullickson                 281                  455-1999

     --------------------------------      -----------        ---------------------

                  (Name)                   (Area Code)         (Telephone Number)

(2)  Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 during the preceding 12 months (or for such shorter period that the registrant was required to file such reports) been filed?  If the answer is no, identify report(s).                                    ü Yes  --- No

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(3)  Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof?     ü Yes  --- No

If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.

Net losses to be reported for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2017 will be approximately $3,304,769 and $7,666,292, respectively.  The quarterly and year to date net losses disclosed are higher rates of cost incurrence than those reported for the periods ended June 30, 2017.  Most of the increased costs for the three month period ended September 30, 2017 relate to costs of more employees and who were also fully employed for the entire quarter and at compensation rates higher than through the periods ended June 30, 2017.  The company also incurred significant costs related to a series of note agreements in the quarter.

Generally, operating costs and losses in 2017 relate to the Company’s change to actively implementing its business plans to now develop and market its encryption software and related products.  Net losses for all periods in 2017 compared to similar prior periods in 2016 are significantly greater because the Company during 2016 had no staff, only limited operations and thus much lower reported net losses.
