    Terminated Goldman Accounting Services CPA, PLLC as auditor on December 5, 2013 without naming a successor - Goldman had never actually delivered any audit report during its five-month engagement; the same day, Wilson Garduque (who had stayed on as a director after stepping down as an officer in August) resigned from the board entirely, leaving Edward Denkiewicz as sole officer and director.

    Amended the BioSafety Technology License Agreement so BioSafety would get 6% of any future proceeds if the company ever sold the underlying patent outright - and explicitly disclosed that CEO Edward Denkiewicz is BioSafety's sole officer, director and owner, meaning the license itself is a related-party transaction.

Garduque resigned as President/CEO/Secretary/Treasurer and Edward Denkiewicz took over all four roles under a new Management Consulting Agreement ($2,000/month plus a $5,000 signing bonus), six days before the BioSafety technology-license deal that would make Denkiewicz's own company the controlling shareholder.
