27 Dec 2013listing compliance notice▼ BadMajor

13 Dec 2013director officer appointment▼ BadMajor

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.

18 Sept 2013material agreement● NeutralMajor

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.
