Liquidity and Capital Resources
We currently have only $1,884 in cash on hand and are seeking sources of funding to continue our operations. It is expected we will continue to need further funding until we complete a final prototype to bring to market for sale or enter into an agreement with a joint venture partner to complete our plans. We are currently researching both options; however, no definitive agreements have yet been entered into. We currently plan to fund future operations by public offerings or private placement of equity and/or debt securities as we have done in the past. However, there can be no assurance that debt or equity financing will be available to us on acceptable terms to meet these requirements, as and when needed. Our auditors have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
As of the date of this annual report, we have not yet generated any revenues.
We do not intend to purchase any significant property or equipment, nor incur any significant changes in employees during the next 12 months.
