Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and that such information is accumulated by our management, including our Chief Executive Officer/Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure in accordance with the definition of “disclosure controls and procedures” in Rule 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act of 1934. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
At the end of the period covered by this Form 10-K, we conducted an evaluation, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer/Chief Financial Officer. of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer/Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of December 31, 2016, the disclosure controls and procedures of our Company were not effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act of 1934 reports was recorded, processed, summarized and reported on a timely basis.
The Company is undertaking to improve its internal control over financial reporting and improve its disclosure controls and procedures. As of June 30, 2016, we had identified the following material weaknesses which still exist through the date of this report:
We did not maintain effective controls over the disclosure control environment. Specifically, the board does not currently have a director who qualifies as an audit committee financial expert as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K. Additionally, controls related to the segregation of certain duties have not been developed and therefore the Company has not been able to adhere to them. For these reasons, management has determined that these circumstances constitute a material weakness.

Management's Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is a set of processes designed by, or under the supervision of, a company’s principal executive and interim principal financial officers, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:
·
pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the Company’s transactions and dispositions of the Company’s assets;
·
provide reasonable assurance that the Company’s transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of the Company’s financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of the Company’s management and directors; and
·
provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. It should be noted that any system of internal control, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system will be met. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer/Chief Financial Officer, the Company assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on criteria established in “Internal Control-Integrated Framework” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), as of December 31, 2016.
A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. In connection with the assessment described above, management identified the following control deficiency that represents material weaknesses at December 31, 2016:
·
Due to the limited number of Company personnel, a lack of segregation of duties and responsibilities with respect to our cash and control over the disbursements related thereto. An essential part of internal control is for certain procedures to be properly segregated and the results of their performance are adequately reviewed. This is normally accomplished by assigning duties so that no one person handles a transaction from beginning to end and incompatible duties between functions are not handled by the same person.
As a result of this material weakness described above, management has concluded that, as of December 31, 2016, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective based on the criteria in “Internal Control-Integrated Framework” issued by COSO. The Company intends to augment the Company’s internal controls procedures and expand the Company’s accounting staff. The Company intends to initiate measures to remediate and refine the Company’s internal controls to address this identified material weakness as the Company grows and obtains a stronger cash position that would justify additional expenditures.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act of 1934) during our most recently completed quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

On October 1, 2014, Murray Fleming was appointed the Company’s Chief Executive Officer for the 24-month period ending October 1, 2016. On February 10, 2015, Mr. Fleming was appointed the Company’s Chief Financial Officer.

All directors hold office until the completion of their term of office, which is not longer than one year, or until their successors have been elected. All officers are appointed annually by the board of directors and serve at the discretion of the board. Currently, no compensation is paid to Directors.
There are no family relationships between any of our officers or directors. There are no orders, judgments, or decrees of any governmental agency or administrator, or of any court of competent jurisdiction, revoking or suspending for cause any license, permit or other authority to engage in the securities business or in the sale of a particular security or temporarily or permanently restraining any of our officers or directors from engaging in or continuing any conduct, practice or employment in connection with the purchase or sale of securities, or convicting such person of any felony or misdemeanor involving a security, or any aspect of the securities business or of theft or of any felony. Nor are any of the officers or directors of any corporation or entity affiliated with us so enjoined.
Code of Ethics
We do not currently have a Code of Ethics that applies to all employees, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions. We plan to adopt a Code of Ethics.
Nominating Committee
Our entire board of directors participates in consideration of director nominees. The board will consider candidates who have experience as a board member or senior officer of a company or who are generally recognized in a relevant field as a well-regarded practitioner, faculty member or senior government officer. The board will also evaluate whether the candidates' skills and experience are complementary to the existing board's skills and experience as well as the board's need for operational, management, financial, international, technological or other expertise. The board will interview candidates that meet the criteria and then select nominees that Board believes best suit our needs.
The board will consider qualified candidates suggested by stockholders for director nominations. Stockholders can suggest qualified candidates for director nominations by writing to our board of directors at 609 SW 8 th Street, 6 th Floor, Bentonville, AR 72712. Submissions that are received that meet the criteria described above will be forwarded to the Board for further review and consideration. The Board will not evaluate candidates proposed by stockholders any differently than other candidates

Audit Committee Financial Expert
Our board of directors does not have an “audit committee financial expert,” within the meaning of such phrase under applicable regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, serving on its audit committee. The board of directors believes that all members of its audit committee are financially literate and experienced in business matters, and that one or more members of the audit committee are capable of (I) understanding generally accepted accounting principles and financial statements, (ii) assessing the general application of generally accepted accounting principles in connection with our accounting for estimates, accruals and reserves, (iii) analyzing and evaluating our financial statements, (iv) understanding our internal controls and procedures for financial reporting; and (v) understanding audit committee functions, all of which are attributes of an audit committee financial expert. However, the board of directors believes that there are not any audit committee members who have obtained these attributes through the experience specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s definition of “audit committee financial expert.” Further, like many small companies, it is difficult for the Company to attract and retain board members who qualify as “audit committee financial experts,” as competition for these individuals is significant. The board believes that its current audit committee can fulfill its role under Securities and Exchange Commission regulations despite not having a designated “audit committee financial expert.” We believe the cost related to retaining a financial expert at this time is prohibitive. Further, because of our start-up operations, we believe the services of a financial expert are not warranted.
Audit Committee
Presently, the board of directors acts as the audit committee and does not have an audit committee financial expert. The board of directors has not yet recruited an audit committee financial expert to join the board of directors because we have only recently commenced a significant level of financial operations.
