LAS VEGAS XPRESS, INC.

PART I

Item 1.  Business

Las Vegas Xpress, Inc. is a Nevada corporation, originally formed as a Utah corporation under the name State Cycle, Inc. on August 7, 1974. We moved the corporation to the state of Nevada and changed our name to X Rail Enterprises, Inc. on November 5, 2015, at which time our primary business changed from mining to rail transportation, passenger excursions, rail car construction and rail related operations and services. Effective November 4, 2017, we changed our name to Las Vegas Xpress, Inc.

Company Overview

Las Vegas Xpress, Inc. is in the specialty passenger train business and has three operating or in planning stage divisions, The X Train, which will be an excursion railroad between metropolitan areas and resort/casino destinations, X Wine Railroads, which is a rail excursion from metropolitan areas to wine regions, and Club X Train, a riders membership club for X Train customers.

As used in this filing, references to "the Company," "LVXI", "we", "our," "ours" and "us" refer to Las Vegas Xpress, Inc., and its subsidiaries, unless otherwise indicated.

X Train

The X Train will be an excursion passenger rail service between Los Angeles and Las Vegas. We expect service to begin in early 2020. LVXI plans to have its casino guests ride the exclusive train service and to manage the host activity of its guests throughout their stay in the resort/casino. We anticipate that, in addition to the service between Los Angeles and Las Vegas, future X Train runs will be added in the coming years.

We expect to operate the X Train as an Amtrak train listed on the Amtrak national timetable. Amtrak will provide the locomotives, crew and railcars for the project. X Train will provide a complete bundled package of services including ticket, rooms and transfers to & from the station and weekend events such as access to nightclubs, golf outings and restaurants. It will be scheduled as a Friday through Sunday service with passengers in Los Angeles boarding the train at Union Station and arriving at the station in downtown Las Vegas and leased and operated by the X Train. Only the X Train will be able to use our station in Las Vegas. A typical X Train will carry 11 passenger cars and will include food service and will carry on average, 700 passengers per trip. This number can be increased by adding more cars to the route.

Our LA to Vegas business plan emanates from a regional transportation feasibility study published in 2007, which suggested that a well-run rail service between Los Angeles and Las Vegas could garner up to 30% of the approximately 12 million passengers who regularly drive between these two metropolitan areas. See: www.rtcsouthernnevada.com. We believe that with our current business plan, we would be able to break-even, on an operating basis, with approximately 20,000 riders per year.

To commence commercial service of the Los Angeles to Las Vegas route, we will need to negotiate and secure the necessary rights, equipment and facilities by August 2019. These items include: securing a regularly scheduled train agreement from Amtrak to operate our excursion service on a weekly basis beginning with one round trip train per week and increasing to six round trips per week over the next several years as demand dictates, securing operating rights to run our trains over tracks owned by private railroads, obtaining the capability to operate train equipment safely and in conformity with applicable government regulations, and purchasing or leasing appropriate locomotive and passenger cars designed to move passengers over the route in comfort and securing leases on terminal facilities and passenger depots in Los Angeles and in Las Vegas. We expect the X Train to begin running in January 2020.  We will operate as a railroad under Amtrak’s national entitlement common carrier status.

X Wine Railroad

The Company’s X Wine Railroad service from LA Union Station to Santa Barbara California runs on a scheduled basis, once a month on Saturdays, with individual riders (retail) as well as charters for corporate outings and special events (corporate). The X Wine Railroad provides a unique wine tasting experience to riders who take the train aboard special period classic railcars and an excursion to the Los Olivos wine area of Southern California. Over 250 private wineries reside in the area and the X Wine Railroad provides private access to these vineyards on an exclusive basis. Ticket prices are $369 per person, all inclusive. Since February 2017 this train has run once and the Company expects to continue to run this train intermittently, depending on demand. X Wine provides an all-inclusive day trip including a gourmet breakfast, wine tasting in the wineries, wine and cheese lunch at the wineries, and a gourmet dinner on the train's return trip.

Club X Train

Club X Train, which is still in the planning stage, will be a one stop shop for all Las Vegas rooms, activities, tours, show tickets and packages. Las Vegas shows, hotel rooms, tours, nightclubs and attractions will all available for members of ClubXTrain.com. This will be the only site riders need to plan their Vegas vacation getaway.

We anticipate that when a customer purchases a train ticket on either the X Train (once it commences operations) or any of the X Wine Railroad excursions, such tickets will include enrollment in our Club X membership club. Members will receive points from each excursion they ride and will be provided discounts on products and services we provide. The more they ride, the more points they will receive. Club X train will be the customer's ticket within Vegas for access to nightclubs, hosted bottle service, pool parties, gentlemen's clubs and the Club X Train Crawl: a high end to visiting three nightclubs in one night. Customers will outline their desired plan for the evening and Club X Train will take care of arranging all the details.  We expect to commence offering Club X Train service when the X Train commences running, currently anticipated to be January 2020.

Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company

We qualify as an "emerging growth company" as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, or the JOBS Act. As an emerging growth company, we may take advantage of specified reduced disclosure and other requirements that are otherwise applicable generally to public companies. These provisions include:

being permitted to present two years of audited financial statements in addition to any required unaudited interim financial statements with correspondingly reduced "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" disclosure;
   
reduced disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements;
   
exemptions from the requirements of holding non-binding advisory votes on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements; and
   
exemption from the auditor attestation requirement in the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting.

We may take advantage of these exemptions for up to five years or such earlier time that we are no longer an emerging growth company. We would cease to be an emerging growth company on the date that is the earliest of (i) the last day of the fiscal year in which we have total annual gross revenues of $1 billion or more; (ii) the last day of our fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date of the completion of this offering; (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in nonconvertible debt during the previous three years; or (iv) the last day of the fiscal year in which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, which means the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the prior September 30th. We may choose to take advantage of some but not all of these exemptions. We have taken advantage of reduced reporting requirements in this filing. Accordingly, the information contained herein may be different than the information you receive from other public companies in which you hold stock.

Plan of Operations

The X Train

On February 11, 2016, the Company entered into share exchange agreements with some shareholders of Las Vegas Railway Express, Inc. ("Las Vegas Rail"). Las Vegas Rail had developed a brand identity in its development of a passenger train service from Los Angeles to Las Vegas, called the X Train. Las Vegas Xpress, Inc. was formed to enter into an agreement with selected shareholders of Las Vegas Rail to exchange the stock of the Company for certain shares of Las Vegas Rail. In addition, the Company executed a license agreement with XTRN to pay a royalty of 5% of the gross revenues generated by the Company's operation of the X Train brand services including the operating name of Las Vegas Railway Express. Accordingly the Company owns the right to use Las Vegas Railway Express and the X Train brand and logo, which it acquired under the license agreement.

Under the licensing agreement Las Vegas Xpress, Inc. operates an excursion passenger rail service also known as the X Train that will run between Los Angeles and Las Vegas. Service is expected to begin in 2020. The Company plans to have its casino guests ride this exclusive train service and manage a host of activities for its guests throughout their stay in the resorts and casinos in Las Vegas.

Accordingly, the Company plans to operate an excursion passenger rail service between Los Angeles and Las Vegas. The service will operate as an Amtrak train on the Union Pacific Railroad, BNSF railroad and Metrolink railroad under Amtrak's access entitlement. The X Train will be stored in Amtrak's 8th Street yard in Los Angeles and the consist will be assembled there by Amtrak switching engines. Each consist will be made up eleven Amtrak passenger railcars deployed specifically for this service. Each railcar will be retrofitted with a Las Vegas motif. Each train will consist of 11 railcars with a total capacity of approximately 444 passengers.

Arrival into Las Vegas is planned to be at the train station in downtown Las Vegas at the Plaza Hotel.

At arrival, passengers will disembark the rail cars and immediately board a limo or tour bus provided by Greyhound under an agreement with them to take them to the property where they are staying. All accommodations and activities planned for the weekend stay will be booked via the X Train booking center in Las Vegas, Club X. Weekend VIP and club hop services will be coordinated through our Club X service (www.clubxtrain.com)  for niteclub and outings. Passengers will be picked up at their hotels on Sunday at noon for a 2 pm departure back to Los Angeles Union Station where the weekend experience is concluded.
4

The Company also owns a licensed IATIA travel agency, X Train Vacations which books rail excursions for other passenger railroads in the United States of America. X Train Vacations is considered as a part of the Las Vegas Railway Express division. 

The specific steps, estimated costs and expected timeline for operation of our X Train service are as follows:

September 2019 – December 2019: Rail realignment on station property to accommodate the X Train station – Cost - $1 million

September 2019 – December 2019: Training of Amtrak crews for certification of the new route between Dagget, Ca. & Las Vegas - $650,000

September 2019 – January 2020: Beta test runs on route $750,000

July 2019 – October 2019: Procurement of passenger rail cars for service

January 2020: First run at one per week.

 The X Wine Railroad

The Company’s X Wine Railroad service from LA Union Station to Santa Barbara California ran regularly on a monthly basis from February 2017 to December 2017. The X Wine Railroad was not operational in 2018, but the Company plans to continue to run the train service in 2019 depending on demand, as discussed above.

Club X Train

Club X Train will be a one stop shop for all Las Vegas rooms, activities, tours, show tickets and packages. Las Vegas shows, hotel rooms, tours, nightclubs and attractions are all available as a member of ClubXTrain.com. This will be the only site riders need to plan their Vegas vacation getaway. Club X Train has the best Las Vegas deals and specials, too.

We expect to commence offering Club X Train service when the X Train commences running, currently anticipated to be January 2020. As such commencement of the Club X Train will require the same steps and costs as commencement of the X Train, as set forth above.

Our Competitive Strengths
We have developed a business model that focuses on leisure travelers between Los Angeles and Las Vegas.  We believe the following strengths will allow us to maintain a competitive advantage in the market we serve:

Large Untapped Market of 12 Million Drivers.  There has been no regular passenger rail service between the Los Angeles and Las Vegas areas for over 20 years. The only major highway between Los Angeles and Las Vegas is Interstate 15 (“I-15”). Of the more than 12,000,000 annual visitors from the Southern California/Los Angeles market, 94% use automobile transportation to Las Vegas via this corridor every year. We only need to capture 28,000 of these drivers (approximately 0.025 % of the total marketplace) to meet our plan on an operating basis.  As the LA population grows, so will the traffic on this highway; the forecast for traffic on I-15 is expected to be 17 million passengers by 2030. Congestion on I-15 is increasing, with motor vehicle travelers experiencing substantial delays during peak travel times (e.g., generally over 6 hours of drive time on Friday and Sunday afternoons). With increasing gasoline costs, increasingly restrictive highway capacity, and reduced air travel from LA to Las Vegas, a rail transportation product - with both First Class and Coach – should be an attractive and viable alternative. Our trains will offer a service that will set us apart from other travel options by extending our customers’ “Las Vegas” experience while en route.
5

“Las Vegas Style” Service. The focus of our approach is to create a unique, Vegas class, “must see” mode of travel that not only serves the functional purpose of transporting passengers to Las Vegas, but also integrates seamlessly into the traditional and iconic Las Vegas experience. To accomplish this goal, our award winning team of design professionals and staff has assembled an on-board product reflective of the “Las Vegas” theme, which is comprised of a comfortable, fun, upscale and provocative atmosphere with multiple on-board amenities. Each train ticket entitles a passenger to an assigned seat with a high-quality meal and an alcoholic beverage.
Oversize baggage, access to the on-board Wi-Fi network, and other premium options will also be available for additional ancillary fees. Commissions will be derived through our call centers, our website, and our on-board mobile application, where customers will be presented with the option to book ahead for various Vegas attractions and necessities such as hotels, shows, tours, restaurant reservations, and rental cars.
Experienced Management and Board of Directors.  We have a strong management team and board of directors comprised of both experienced industry professionals and successful entrepreneurs. Our CEO, Michael Barron has been a successful entrepreneur establishing and growing several companies over the past 30 years. Our board of directors is led by Dr. Harry Teng, Head of the School of Rail Engineering at UNLV in Las Vegas, Lou Schillinger, CEO of Short Line Insurance Company, with over 300 industry rail clients insured and Don Adams, a 50 year icon in the Las Vegas hotel/casino scene. Company management has operated passenger service on a railroad with our own Club X cars and staff.

Item 7.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere herein.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of our financial statements and notes thereto requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts and disclosures reported within those financial statements. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates, including those related to collection of receivables, impairment of goodwill, contingencies, litigation and income taxes. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experiences and on various other factors believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results under circumstances and conditions different than those assumed could result in material differences from the estimated amounts in the financial statements. There have been no material changes to these policies during the fiscal year.

Results of Operations

The following are the results of our continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2018 compared to the year ended December 31, 2017:

Revenue

During the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company generated some revenue from operating the wine train in Santa Barbara, CA. The revenue decreased by $39,209 by December 31, 2018, due to fewer runs in 2018.

Operating Expenses

Compensation and payroll taxes increased by $2,137,169, or 59.7%, during the year ended December 31, 2018 as compared to 2017.  The increase in compensation expense in the current year is due primarily to significant stock issuances to officers and directors as compensation in stock instead of cash for accrued salaries. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $27,875, or 7.4%, during the year ended December 31, 2018 as compared to the same period in 2017 primarily due to lower office, marketing and advertising expenses.  We had an increase in our professional fee expenses during the year ended December 31, 2018 of $87,034, or 9.7%, due primarily to legal, consulting and accounting services.

Other (Expense) Income

Interest expense decreased by $227,190, or 19.2% during the year ended December 31, 2018 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2017.  The decrease is due primarily to change in derivative liability and conversion of interest to shares of common stock.

The change in fair value of derivative liability amounted to a gain of $1,054,988 for the year ended December 31, 2018 as a result of new convertible debt.  The gain was primarily due to the decrease in value of derivative liabilities outstanding during the year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity is the ability of a company to generate funds to support asset growth, satisfy disbursement needs, maintain reserve requirements and otherwise operate on an ongoing basis. The Company has insufficient operating revenues so is currently dependent on debt financing and sale of equity to fund operations. 
 
As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has net losses of $7,468,415 and $7,385,372 for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.  The Company also has an accumulated deficit of $22,819,948 and negative working capital of $3,437,200 as of December 31, 2018, as well as outstanding convertible notes payable of $464,112 before debt discount of $65,001.  Management believes that it will need additional equity or debt financing to be able to implement its business plan.  Given the lack of revenue, capital deficiency and negative working capital, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

We believe that the successful growth and operation of our business is dependent upon our ability to do the following:
 
obtain adequate sources of debt or equity financing to pay unfunded operating expenses and fund long-term business operations; and
   
manage or control working capital requirements by controlling operating expenses.
 
Management is attempting to raise additional equity and debt to sustain operations until it can market its services and achieves profitability.  The successful outcome of future activities cannot be determined at this time and there are no assurances that, if achieved, the Company will have sufficient funds to execute its intended business plan or generate positive operating results.

Cash Flows

Net cash used in operating activities for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 were $315,886 and $1,247,369, respectively.  Cash used in operating activities for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 were primarily due to net losses of $7,468,145 and $7,385,372, respectively.  During the year ended December 31, 2018, the net loss included significant non-cash expenses of $5,155,928 for stock issued for compensation, $548,110 in amortization debt discount expense on notes payable, $410,000 for stock issued for services, $795,183 for warrant expense associated with convertible promissory notes, $1,969,024 for change in value of derivative liability related to convertible notes payable and $1,858,827 in accounts payable and accrued expenses. During the year ended December 31, 2017, the net loss included significant non-cash expenses of $280,150 in stock issued for services , $3,050,000 for the stock compensation, $354,087 in changes in operating assets and liabilities and $48,047 in debt discount interest expenses, $629,270 in loss on impairment of assets and change in derivative liability of $707,127.
9

There was no cash used in investing activities during the year ended December 31, 2018 and 2017.
 
Net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2018 amounted to $256,053 which consisted of $53,000 in proceeds from the sale of common stock and $252,616 in proceeds from the issuance of convertible notes payable during the year, $159,160 in proceeds from the issuance of related party notes payable. There was repayment of $47,350 towards related party notes payable and $158,404 towards convertible notes payable.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2017 was $1,102,184, which consisted of $498,940 from proceeds from sale of shares of common stock, $180,000 from exercise of warrant, $369,900 from proceeds from convertible notes payable and $83,672 from proceeds from related parties notes payable and $30,328 in repayments on related party notes.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Las Vegas Xpress, Inc.
 
Opinion on the Financial Statements
 
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Las Vegas Xpress, Inc., (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the related statement of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the years then ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the result of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
Explanatory Paragraph Regarding Going Concern
 
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has incurred losses since inception, has accumulated a significant deficit, and has not yet generated net income from operations. These factors raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
 
Basis for Opinion
 
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
 
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
 
Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

LAS VEGAS XPRESS, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2018 and 2017
 

(1)  Description of Business:

Las Vegas Xpress, Inc. is a Nevada corporation, originally formed as a Utah corporation under the name State Cycle, Inc. on August 7, 1974. We moved the corporation to the state of Nevada and changed our name to X Rail Enterprises, Inc. on November 5, 2015, at which time our primary business changed from mining to rail transportation, passenger excursions, rail car construction and rail related operations and services. Effective November 4, 2017, we changed our name to Las Vegas Xpress, Inc.

Las Vegas Xpress, Inc. is in the specialty passenger train business and has three operating divisions, The X Train, which will be an excursion railroad between metropolitan areas and resort/casino destinations, X Wine Railroads, which is a rail excursion from metropolitan areas to wine regions, and Club X Train, a riders’ membership club for X Train customers.

(2)  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
 
Basis of Financial Statement Presentation:

The accompanying financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). 

Going Concern:

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has net losses of $7,468,415 for the year ended December 31, 2018.  The Company also has an accumulated deficit of $22,819,948, and a negative working capital of $3,437,200 as of December 31, 2018, as well as outstanding convertible notes payable of $464,112, before debt discount of $65,001 and accrued interest of $1,020,804.  Management believes that it will need additional equity or debt financing to be able to implement its business plan.  Given the lack of revenue, capital deficiency and negative working capital, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Management is attempting to raise additional equity and debt to sustain operations until it can market its services and achieves profitability.  The successful outcome of future activities cannot be determined at this time and there are no assurances that, if achieved, the Company will have sufficient funds to execute its intended business plan or generate positive operating results.

The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Revenue Recognition:

Revenues are recognized based on accrual accounting in accordance with ASC 606. “Revenues from Contracts with Customers”. The Company recognizes revenues when earned, regardless of the timing of cash receipts. The revenues are considered earned when the Company has met its obligation to be entitled to the benefits represented by the revenue. All deposits or advance payments for future months are classified as unearned revenues and are recognized as revenue only when the revenue producing event has occurred.
16

Risks and Uncertainties:

The Company operates in an industry that is subject to intense competition and potential government regulations.  Significant changes in regulations and the inability of the Company to establish contracts with rail services providers could have a materially adverse impact on the Company’s operations.
 
Use of Estimates:

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods.  Amounts could materially change in the future.

Cash and Cash Equivalents:

The Company considers all highly liquid holdings with maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents.

Property and Equipment:

Property and equipment are recorded at historical cost and depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of approximately five years once the individual assets are placed in service.  The Company expenses all purchases of equipment with individual costs of under $500, and these amounts are not material to the financial statements. As of December 31, 2018, we wrote off the rail cars on the balance sheet at $125,000 with no accumulated depreciation. The rail cars require substantial investment to retrofit and are not going to be in service in the nearest future.

Long-Lived Assets:

In accordance with FASB ASC 360-10, the Company evaluates long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their net book value may not be recoverable. When such factors and circumstances exist, the Company compares the projected undiscounted future cash flows associated with the related asset or group of assets over their estimated useful lives against their respective carrying amount. Impairment, if any, is based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value, based on market value when available, or discounted expected cash flows, of those assets and is recorded in the period in which the determination is made.  The Company’s management believes there has been no impairment of its long-lived assets during the years ended December 31, 2018, or 2017.  There can be no assurance, however, that market conditions will not change or demand for the Company’s business model will continue.  Either of these could result in future impairment of long-lived assets.
Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share:

In accordance with FASB ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share,” the basic loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss available to common stockholders after preferred stock dividends, by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted earnings per share reflect per share amounts that would have resulted if diluted potential common stock had been converted to common stock.  Common stock equivalents have not been included in the diluted earnings per share computation for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 as the amounts are anti-dilutive.  As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company had no outstanding options.  As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company also had convertible debt that is convertible into 17,764,992 and 7,834 shares, respectively, of common stock which was excluded from the computation.  As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company had 3,426 and 2,996 outstanding warrants, respectively, which were also excluded from the computation because they were anti-dilutive.

Income Taxes:

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The deferred tax assets of the Company relate primarily to operating loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes. A full valuation allowance for deferred tax assets has been provided because the Company believes it is not more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will be realized. Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent on the Company generating sufficient taxable income in future periods.
 
The Company periodically evaluates its tax positions to determine whether it is more likely than not that such positions would be sustained upon examination by a tax authority for all open tax years, as defined by the statute of limitations, based on their technical merits.  As of December 31, 2018, and December 31, 2017, the Company has not established a liability for uncertain tax positions.

Share Based Payment:

The Company issues stock, options and warrants as share-based compensation to employees and non-employees.

The Company accounts for its share-based compensation to employees in accordance FASB ASC 718.  Stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period. 

The Company accounts for share-based compensation issued to non-employees and consultants in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC 505-50 Equity - Based Payments to Non-Employees.” Measurement of share-based payment transactions with non-employees is based on the fair value of whichever is more reliably measurable: (a) the goods or services received; or (b) the equity instruments issued. The final fair value of the share-based payment transaction is determined at the performance completion date. For interim periods, the fair value is estimated and the percentage of completion is applied to that estimate to determine the cumulative expense recorded.

Derivative Liabilities:

The Company has certain embedded conversion options in notes payable with elements that qualify as derivatives. The Company values these embedded conversion options in notes payable using the Black Scholes model.  The resulting liability is valued at each reporting date and the change in the liability is reflected as change in derivative liability in the statement of operations (see Note 7).

Fair Value of Financial Instruments:

The Company's financial instruments as defined by FASB ASC 825-10-50 include cash, notes payable and derivative liabilities.  Derivative liabilities are recorded at fair value.  The principal balance of notes payable approximates fair value because current interest rates and terms offered to the Company for similar debt are substantially the same.

FASB ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. FASB ASC 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

Level 1. Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;

Level 2. Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and

Level 3. Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which requires the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

Holders of the Company's common stock are entitled to share in all dividends that the board of directors, in its discretion, declares from legally available funds. In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up, each outstanding share entitles its holder to participate pro rata in all assets that remain after payment of liabilities and after providing for each class of stock, if any, having preference over the common stock.

(9)  Income Taxes:

The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB ASC 740 "Income Taxes."  Under the asset and liability method of FASB ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.  The deferred tax assets of the Company relate primarily to operating loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes. A full valuation allowance for deferred tax assets has been provided because the Company believes it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will be realized. Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent on the Company generating sufficient taxable income in future periods.

On December 22, 2017, the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Reform Act”) was signed into law by President Trump. The Tax Reform Act significantly revised the U.S. corporate income tax regime by, among other things, lowering the U.S. corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018. U.S. GAAP requires that the impact of tax legislation be recognized in the period in which the law was enacted.

The Company periodically evaluates its tax positions to determine whether it is more likely than not that such positions would be sustained upon examination by a tax authority for all open tax years, as defined by the statute of limitations, based on their technical merits. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company has not established a liability for uncertain tax positions.

Any uncertain tax positions would be related to tax years that remain open and subject to examination by the relevant tax authorities.  The Company has no liabilities related to uncertain tax positions or unrecognized benefits as of the year end December 31, 2018 or 2017.  The Company has not accrued for interest or penalties associated with unrecognized tax liabilities.
 
As of December 31, 2017, the Company had net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $7.6 million, which may be available to offset future taxable income for tax purposes.  This carry forward may be limited upon the ownership change under IRC Section 382.

The Components of the deferred tax asset at December 31, 2018 and 2017 are as follows:

Item 9A.  Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Our management, with the participation of our CEO and our CFO, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as December 31, 2018.  Based on that evaluation, our CEO and our CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) were ineffective as of December 31, 2018 such that material information required to be disclosed is made known to management and others, as appropriate, to allow timely decision regarding required disclosure and that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. A controls system cannot provide absolute assurance, however, that the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.
 
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting.

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives.
 
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over our financial reporting. Our President and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2018 based on the criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (COSO - 2013). Based on this evaluation, management concluded that, as of December 31, 2018, our internal control over financial reporting is ineffective in providing reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
 
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by the Company's registered public accounting firm pursuant to an exemption for smaller reporting companies under Section 989G of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.
 
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the year ended December 31, 2018 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

Code of Ethics
 
The Company has adopted a Code of Ethics that applies to the Company’s principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer.

 Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Compliance

Our officers, directors and shareholders owning greater than ten percent (10%) of our shares are required to file beneficial ownership reports pursuant to Section 16(a) of the Securities and Exchange Act (the “Exchange Act”). To the Company’s knowledge, all such reporting obligations were complied with during the year ended December 31, 2018.

Committees of the Board

The Company does not have an audit committee nor compensation committee because of the small size and early stage of the Company.

Nominating Committee

We do not have a separately designated nominating committee because the board makes all decisions regarding director nominations.

Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

Except as set forth below, to our knowledge, during the last ten years, none of our directors and executive officers have:

Had a bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time.

Been convicted in a criminal proceeding or been subject to a pending criminal proceeding, excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses.

Been subject to any order, judgment or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting his involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities.

Been found by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil action), the SEC, or the Commodities Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended or vacated.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law permits a corporation to indemnify its directors and officers against expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with a pending or completed action, suit or proceeding if the officer or director acted in good faith and in a manner the officer or director reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the corporation.

Our certificate of incorporation provides that, except in certain specified instances, our directors shall not be personally liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary duty as directors, except for the following:

any breach of their duty of loyalty to our company or our stockholders;
 
acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;
 
unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions as provided in Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law; and
 
any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

In addition, our certificate of incorporation and bylaws obligate us to indemnify our directors and officers against expenses and other amounts reasonably incurred in connection with any proceeding arising from the fact that such person is or was an agent of ours. Our bylaws also authorize us to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any of our directors or officers against any liability asserted against that person in that capacity, whether or not we would have the power to indemnify that person under the provisions of the Nevada General Corporation Law. We expect to continue to enter into agreements to indemnify our directors and officers as determined by our Board of Directors. These agreements provide for indemnification of related expenses including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines, and settlement amounts incurred by any of these individuals in any action or proceeding. We believe that these bylaw provisions and indemnification agreements are necessary to attract any retain qualified persons as directors and officers.

The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against our directors for breach of their fiduciary duty. They may also reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against our directors and officers, even though an action, if successful, might benefit us and other stockholders. Furthermore, a stockholder's investment may be adversely affected to the extent that we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers as required by these indemnification provisions. At present, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving any of our directors, officers or employees regarding, which indemnification is sought, and we are not aware of any threatened litigation that may result in claims for indemnification.

Insofar as the provisions of our certificate of incorporation or bylaws provide for indemnification of directors or officers for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, we have been informed that in the opinion of the Commission this indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

Family Relationships

There are no family relationships between any of our directors or executive officers and any other directors or executive officers.
