  Note 1 - On various dates during the year ended December 31, 2015, Rory J. Cutaia, the Company’s majority shareholder and Chief Executive Officer, loaned the Company total principal amounts of $1,203,242. The loans were unsecured and all are due on demand, bearing interest at 12% per annum. On December 1, 2015, the Company entered into a Secured Convertible Note agreement with Mr. Cutaia whereby all outstanding principal and accrued interest owed to Mr. Cutaia from previous loans amounting to an aggregate total of $1,248,883 and due on demand, was consolidated under a note payable agreement, bearing interest at 12% per annum, and converted from due on demand to due in full on April 1, 2017. In consideration for Mr. Cutaia’s agreement to consolidate the loans and extend the maturity date, the Company granted Mr. Cutaia a senior security interest in substantially all current and future assets of the Company. Per the terms of the agreement, at Mr. Cutaia’s discretion, he may convert up to $374,665 of outstanding principal, plus accrued interest thereon, into shares of common stock at a conversion rate of $0.07 per share.

  

    On May 4, 2017, the Company entered into an extension agreement with Mr. Cutaia to extend the maturity date of the $1,198,883 Secured Note due on April 1, 2017 to August 1, 2018. In consideration for extending the Note, the Company issued Mr. Cutaia 1,755,192 warrants at a price of $0.355. All other terms of the Note remain unchanged. The Company determined that the extension of the note’s maturity resulted in a debt extinguishment for accounting purposes since the fair value of the warrants granted was more than 10% of the recorded value of the original convertible note. As a result, Company recorded the fair value of the new note which approximates the original carrying value $1,198,883 and expensed the entire fair value of the warrants granted of $517,291 as part of loss on debt extinguishment. The fair value of the warrants at grant date was determined using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing model with the following assumptions: stock price of $0.36 per share, life of 3 years; risk free interest rate of 1.51%; volatility of 157%, and dividend yield of 0%. As of September 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016, the principal amount of the notes payable was $1,198,883, respectively.
