Concern Considerations
−Removed: Company has incurred substantial losses over the past two fiscal years and has debt obligations over the next fiscal year that raise
−Removed: substantial doubt with respect to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
−Removed: The Company has raised capital and will
−Removed: continue to reduce expenses through (i) issuance of notes and subsequent settlement of such notes with equity, (ii) equity offering to
−Removed: qualified investors and at-the-market offerings, (iii) review and improvement of our business processes for more efficiency, (iv) sale

+Added: methodology, management evaluates whether the mitigating effect of its plans sufficiently alleviates substantial doubt about the Company’s
+Added: ability to continue as a going concern.

+Added: is probable that the plans will be effectively implemented within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued, and
