ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Item 1. Business Factors
History
The Company was formed in Delaware on June 5, 2006 as Caddystats, Inc.
On March 3, 2009, the Company acquired all of the voting shares of Roadships Holdings, Inc., a Florida Corporation, and Roadships America, Inc., also a Florida Corporation in exchange for an aggregate of 16,025,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. On March 4, 2009, the Company changed its name to Roadships Holdings, Inc.
On May 26, 2015, the Company acquired all the voting shares of Click Evidence Inc., an Arizona corporation. Effective November 2, 2015, the Company changed its name to Tautachrome Inc.
Our Business
Tautachrome operates in the internet applications space, a large business space we believe to be uniquely able to make possible fast growing and novel business. The iPhone, Google, Facebook, Amazon, Uber and numerous other examples are reminders of the ability of the internet applications business space to surprise us with new business universes “out of nowhere.” A recent arrival in the internet applications space is blockchain technology, a technology empowering entities to create ecosystems of trade based on self-introduced and globally useable secure trading currencies. Blockchain technology has added a significant element to Tautachrome’s business plans and activities. In addition, the subsequent development of a new patent pending technology dubbed ARknet technology that exploits augmented reality in a new solution to the purchasing interaction between global consumers and providers has been licensed by the Company for development.
Tautachrome is currently pursuing three main avenues of business activity based on our patented activated imaging technology, our blockchain trading currency, and the ARknet patent pending technology (together banded “KlickZie” technology):
1.
KlickZie ARknet technology business: Our licensed activity to develop and monetize a new augmented reality (“AR”) technology called “ARknet technology which permits goods and services providers to establish geolocated augmented reality interfaces, called ARks, allowing consumers to interact with inside info on the provider’s products, specials and discounts with live purchasing provided. A provider’s ARk may be located anywhere on earth, at a store location, or anywhere else the provider may desire. The ARknet is a fintech platform connecting consumers to providers in the global $48 trillion household purchasing market, using augmented reality as the medium of interaction.
2.
KlickZie’s blockchain trading currency ecosystem: our recently added activity to create our own KlickZie blockchain and trading currency to incentivize consumer usage of the ARknet paltform, and
3.
KlickZie Activated Digital Imagery business: our longstanding flagship activity to develop and monetize downloadable apps based on our patented KlickZie trusted imaging technology and based on our patented trusted image-based social interactions using the pictures and videos that smartphone users generate on the web using their KlickZie imaging app.
1. ARk Business Activity
On October 17, 2018, the Company licensed and is now developing the ARknet technology, a Fintech patent pending technology aimed at the global household goods and services market. ARks are floating interactive pictures (ARk Symbols) only visible around you in the Augmented Reality view provided by the ARknet app using the camera imager in your smartphone. ARks are intended for goods and service providers as a way to draw attention to customers in the vicinity of a provider’s ARk Symbol. Shoppers and buyers seeing a Symbol can interact with the provider’s goods or services via the ARk Symbol. The picture above is a shopping mall scene, where two stores, Claire’s on your right, and rue 21 etc! on your left, are shown displaying interactive ARk symbols. Claire’s ARk is a “standard” ARk symbol, while rue 21 etc! uses a picture of their “etc. Gold” perfume product as their ARk symbol. Either way, using their smartphone imager an ARknet app users can touch the store’s ARk Symbol and on their smartphone access the provider’s Ark page containing interest-grabbing information, including pictures or videos of today’s specials, in-ARk purchase and checkout features, reviews, links, menus, social media profiles or anything else the store wants to advertise.
Arks may be mobile ARks, using the app user’s mobile device to mobilize the ARk location, or stationary ARks, using a set geo location determined by coordinates or determined by fixing the ARk location by moving the ARk owner’s mobile device to a desired location and setting the stationary ARk’s location there.
Providers may create their ARks, decide on their ARk Symbol, choose their Symbol geolocations and provide for license payment to the Company, using features in the ARk app.
We intend the ARk app to be free to consumers and other users wishing to use the app to survey their environ for the presence of ARk symbols.
We envision a KlickZie ARknet with billions of users and ARks connecting humanity, commerce, information, crypto currency, and innovation in useful ways. Plus, we want to return the ownership of users’ information and valuable items such as images and video, back to where it rightfully belongs, the individual user.

2. KlickZie blockchain trading currency
In late 2017 we formed a development team of providers to develop a KlickZie blockchain (branded the “zChain”) to handle transactions using a cryptographically secured trading currency designated the “KLK” currency. The KLK is intended to be the currency of the imagery trading ecosystem allowing KlickZie users to monetize their pictures and videos and thereby enabling the ability to conduct widescale buying, selling and licensing of KlickZie pictures and videos.
Our development team consists of individuals from the blockchain development company Kelecorix, Inc., and individuals from the image storage company Honeycomb Digital, LLC. The team has developed the software and architecture for the implementation of a simple KlickZie app that seeks to implement the ownership properties of KlickZie imaging.
Like other blockchains, the zChain is intended to run in a decentralized manner. “Smart contracts” residing on the zChain would implement the buying, selling licensing and other trading features on the zChain. Such smart contracts would implement a commission on zChain transactions that involve participation by the Company to complete (for instance the certification of the validity of KlickZie imagery when requested).
Because KlickZie users own the imagery they create, the use of KlickZie imagery by others, including advertisers, could be done through the execution of a smart contract on the zChain transferring KLK currency from the advertiser to the user.
3. KlickZie technology-based business activity
Tautachrome’s KlickZie technology addresses two features of the internet age that create a new need and a new opportunity. The first is the need for a way to trust the pictures and videos you see on the web. Right now the trillions of pictures and frames of video on the web are so easily and often falsified that trustability of internet imagery is essentially zero. For this reason we believe that a universally available, downloadable system that turns the everyday pictures and videos we take from our smartphones into imagery that can be trustable to others seeing it, will have substantial value . We would like to see only two kinds of imagery come to exist on the web: imagery whose trustworthiness everybody can be certain of, and all the rest of the imagery for which the notion of trust is meaningless. The KlickZie system aims to satisfy the requirement of for universal trustability for the ordinary imagery it produces.
The technology required for trustability also opens the door to a new opportunity. This is the opportunity to enable people to use KlickZie pictures and videos on the web to readily and safely interact with each other via the imagery itself. It is frequently the case that when you run across interesting imagery on the web you cannot know anything about it, including who the author is, who else may have seen it, or what others may think or know about it. By allowing people to interact with interesting or important pictures or videos by using the imagery itself as the portal of communication, the KlickZie system can add the viewpoints and the information offerings of interacting people to the richness of pictures and videos. This can be carried by the system into the future along with the imagery, as an evolving information structure of interaction and imagery.
KlickZie imaging Platform
Users will download KlickZie’s free software into their mobile device (iPhone, Android or other smartphone). The software, an upgrade to the smartphone’s camera software, will activate the pictures and videos taken by their device using proprietary KlickZie marking technology. Behind the scenes, KlickZie will capture the imagery and available metadata related to the imaging event, and mark the imagery and its metadata with advanced and invisible KlickZie marking technology.
KlickZie activation seeks to add a new utility to ordinary pictures and videos. Other KlickZie users who come across an activated picture can communicate with the author of the picture, or with amenable others who have seen the picture or with the data stored in the picture by clicking or touching the picture (“touch-to-comm”). We intend the picture itself by click or touch to make the communication happen no matter where or how you come across an activated picture.
What happens to an activated picture from its creation onward is intended to be added to the picture’s data for tracking into the future. Activated pictures seek to answer many questions. For example, in a group photo you could ask: Have any of the people in my contacts list interacted with this picture? Are any of them engaging it right now? Who else besides my contacts have already engaged this picture in some way? Who took it? Where? When?
The upshot is that activation seeks to allow effective touch to comm with the authors and viewers of smartphone pictures and videos, and to ensure that activated pictures and videos can be trusted.
KlickZie Product Rollout
·
Phase 1: Build the minimal testable KlickZie system -including the Arknet app and trusted imaging app and the service cloud.
·
Phase 2: Release the KlickZie system into a limited audience to optimize user experience and user interfaces, to set up the KlickZie cloud for global scale up, and to plan global rollout.
·
Phase 3: Roll out the KlickZie system of ARks, trusted imaging, and the KLK trading currency, culture by culture and language by language, adding support staff and services as rollout moves forward.
Monetizing
As presently conceived, the KlickZie product aims at revenues from four primary sources:
·
ARk licensing fees paid by ARk-using providers
·
Well behaved advertising.
·
User premium service fees.
·
Enterprise revenue paid by entities licensing our technologies for enterprise usages.
Funding
We plan to continue raising funds to finance KlickZie product rollout.
Ongoing financing is currently being accomplished by equity sale, by incurring debt, and by other innovative means. There can be no assurances given that any of our funding efforts will be successful.
First KlickZie revenues
Our Plan of Operations for KlickZie based revenue looks for first revenues from ARk business app users coming on line within the first year after the receipt of funding sufficient to round out the KlickZie team. Preparations for other KlickZie revenue are geared for the two year and out timeframe.
Shelved business activity
General app development and digital design activities that were being carried out under our wholly-owned Polybia Studios subsidiary, and our acquisition activities that were being carried out under our Appquisitions Division have been shelved for the time being. Work on our PhotoSweep app has also been shelved in preference to a strict focusing on the KlickZie business activity.
Competition
With regard to the internet applications in general, competition is intense. According to Statista there are millions of smartphone applications available to users. In spaces that are this crowded the principal matter of competition is about capturing user mind space, which for a given product consists of elements such as degree of product exposure to users, degree of product apparent desirability, pleasure of product usage, and persisting necessity for the product in a user’s life. These elements of competition are well known to our competitors which include the internet giants Google, Apple, Facebook and Amazon, all of whom have financial resources and operating staffs substantially larger than those of the Company, and all of whom can focus on the optimization of their products towards the same consumer and business arenas upon which we intend to focus.
With regard to the ARknet augmented reality space, while there is no direct competition in the space at the moment, that could change in a heartbeat with an interest taken by any of the internet giants mentioned above.
With regard to KlickZie’s technology for marking, storing and tracking digital imagery, there are many firms who mark, store and track digital imagery. Among these have been Digimarc, BatchPhoto, and Thirdlight who have marketed such processes for purposes of protecting intellectual property. To our knowledge none of these has turned the smartphone into a generally trustable imager or an advanced image-based communicator as envisioned here. This requires substantially more talent and development activity than required for marking, storing and tracking digital imagery. However, there is nothing stopping any firm, particularly the internet giants, from entering into similar activity. Moreover Truepic, which entered the arena of smartphone trusted imagery, also has patents related to trusted imagery. We have reviewed Truepic’s patent claims and believe that our planned applications do not infringe their claims.
Intangible Properties: issued and pending patents
The proprietary nature of, and protection for, our technologies, processes, and know-how are important to our business. Our success could substantially depend upon our ability to protect the proprietary nature of our technologies and know-how, to protect our technology from infringement, misappropriation, discovery and duplication, and to operate without infringing the proprietary rights of others.
We seek patent protection for our technologies. Our policy is to patent the technology, inventions and improvements that we consider important to the development of our business. We cannot be sure that any of our pending patent applications will be granted, or that any patents or licenses which we own or obtain in the future will fully protect our position. Our patent rights and the patent rights of technology companies in general, are highly uncertain and include complex legal and factual issues. We believe that our existing technology licensing, and the patents which we hold and for which we have applied, do not infringe anyone else's patent rights. We believe our technology and patent rights will provide meaningful protection against others duplicating our proprietary technologies. We cannot be sure of this, however, because of the complexity of the legal and scientific issues that could arise in litigation over these issues.
Despite these measures, any of our intellectual property and proprietary rights could be challenged, invalidated, circumvented, infringed or misappropriated, or such intellectual property and proprietary rights may not be sufficient to permit us to take advantage of current market trends or otherwise to provide competitive advantages.
As of the date of this annual report, our patent portfolio includes the patents and applications issued by and filed with the USPTO and the purchase technology licensing as described in the following table:

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Item 3. Legal Proceedings
United States District Court
On October 10, 2017, the Company received a letter from the lawyer of Eric L McRae (“McRae”) a person whose association with the Company was terminated by the Company on June 16, 2017. The letter demanded payment of 850,000,000 unrestricted Tautachrome common shares to forestall his filing a laundry list of complaints in a variety of government agencies including with the US District Court in Kansas with complaints of contract breaches and fraud by silence, with the EEOC with complaints of termination by racial discrimination, with the OSHA with complains of termination for reasons of his being a whistleblower under Sarbanes-Oxley provisions, and with various regulatory agencies with accusations of an unspecified nature.
On October 12, 2017, McRae filed a complaint, later amended twice, against the Company in the US District Court in Kansas. The amended complaint alleges 1) that the Company breached a written agreement in an alleged employment by failing to pay him 35,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and terminating his association with the Company on June 16, 2017 without proper notice. The complaint goes on to allege 2) that the Company committed fraud by silence for failing to inform him of an intent to receive the benefit of his services while harboring an intent to not compensate him, 3) that the Company breached an unwritten agreement with him to provide him with 185,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, and 4) that the Company breached a convertible promissory note by failing and refusing to repay him the principal and accrued interest thereunder. Complaint number 4 is now moot in the belief of the Company since after the lawsuit was filed the Company continued to repay McRae’s convertible promissory note on schedule with interest due until paid in full on October 1, 2018, thus extinguishing the note and making the matter moot. These matters remain before the Court.
On December 12, 2017, McRae brought the Company before the Kansas Human Rights Commission and the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) alleging that on June 16, 2017 he was terminated from an alleged employment by the Company on the basis of race and for retaliation, and that the Company discriminated against him in the terms of this alleged employment because of race. The Kansas Human Rights Commission dismissed this claim.
On December 8, 2017, McRae filed a complaint with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (the “OSHA”), alleging that his “investigation and reporting” to the Company’s CEO was a contributing factor in the termination of his alleged employment by the Company in violation of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act whistleblower’s provisions. On January 2, 2018, the Company delivered its response to the complaint, denying each of McRae’s allegations and providing its own presentation of the facts. McRae dismissed the OSHA claim with prejudice, and the matter cannot be brought again.
On May 5, 2020 the Company settled with the McRae estate for 50 million common shares. We valued the shares at the settlement date (May 5, 2020 on which date our closing price was $0.0029) and recorded a Gain on Litigation in the amount of $105,000, a reduction of the amount of the liability to $145,000 as a result of that revaluation. We issued the shares on May 18, 2020.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation
The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) provides information for the year ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. This MD&A should be read together with our audited consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.
This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve certain risks and uncertainties. See “Forward-Looking Statements” elsewhere in this report.
Overall Performance
We are an early stage internet applications company, engaged in advanced technology and business development in the internet applications space. We have incurred general and administrative costs, marketing expenses and research and development costs since we commenced our current operations in May 2015, against very little revenue.
The Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes for the years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes that the Company will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. We had negative cash flows from operations of $1,249,760 and $910,344 for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, with recurring losses and negative working capital of $4,644,642 and $3,867,587 as at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. These conditions raise substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern.
The continuing operations of the Company are dependent upon our ability to raise adequate financing and to commence profitable operations in the future. The Company may raise additional capital through the sale of its equity securities, through an offering of debt securities, or through loans from related parties. We believe that actions presently being taken to obtain additional funding may provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern. There is no guarantee, however, that the Company will be successful in achieving these objectives.
Results of Operations for the Years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020
Net Comprehensive Loss
The Company realized a net comprehensive loss of 5,026,747 for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to a net comprehensive loss of $2,874,525 for the year ended December 31, 2020.
Revenue and Cost of Sales
The Company recognized $262 in revenue for the year ended December 31, 2021 versus $1,015 in 2020. The company has two sources of revenues: the online sales platform in which we take a 2% fee for all merchant sales made on the platform and promotional products such a t-shirts. Cost of sales were $79 and $371 for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Operating Expenses
The Company’s total operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2021 were $4,267,148 compared to $1,625,789 for the year ended December 31, 2020, an increase of $2,641,359.
For the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company incurred general and administrative expenses of $2,862,773 compared to $607,274 for the year ended December 31, 2020, an increase of $2,255,499 (371%).
The following table sets out the material components of the Company’s general and administrative expenses for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.

The vast majority of change from 2020 to 2021 was in advertising and promotion (an increase of 2,197,199, or a 97% increase). Most of this increase resulted from our issuance of 198,000,000 shares issued to a supplier to pay for media buys which resulted in a charge to Advertising and Promotion of $1,980,000.
Research and development
Research and development costs were $1,239,133 in 2021 versus $1,014,894 in 2019 owing to increased development activity.
Bad Debt Expense
On June 8, 2021, we loaned a board member $150,000 on a promissory note which was due upon demand. The company made demand for re-payment and the board member defaulted on the note. At the time of default, $760, in interest had accrued. We charged the entirety of principal and interest to Bad Debt Expense. We had no such item in 2020.
Depreciation Expense
We had depreciation expense of $14,482 for the year ended December 31, 2021 as opposed to $3,621 for the previous year. The depreciation expense is due to our acquiring, in October, 2020, a hand-held self-positioning white light scanner system that we use to showcase products on our website.
Other Expenses
During the year ended December 31, 2020, we recorded a gain of $105,000 on our settlement of the McRae affair (See Note 6 to the financial statements). We had no such gains in the current year.
During the year ended December 31, 2021, we had losses on settlements of debt of $225. We had no such losses in the previous year.
The Company recorded $1,238,843 of interest expense during the year ended December 31, 2021 versus $1,021,100 during the previous year. Most of the increase is due to an increase in debt levels.
During the year ended December 31, 2020, we had $37,267 of losses on conversion of debt. During 2021, we had no such losses.
During the year ended December 31, 2021, we recorded loss on changes in the value of our derivative liabilities in the amount of $1,238,843 compared to a loss of $1,021,100 for the year ended December 31, 2020.
Other Comprehensive Loss
At each balance sheet date, transactions and balances that are denominated in a currency other than U.S. dollars are adjusted to reflect the current exchange rate which may give rise to a foreign currency translation adjustment accounted for as a separate component of stockholders’ equity and included in other comprehensive income. The Company recorded a translation gain of $53,444 for the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to a loss of $80,201 for the year ended December 31, 2020. These amounts are included in the Company’s statement of operations as foreign currency gain (loss) for the respective years.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of the date of this report, the Company has generated only minimal revenues and is not profitable. The Company’s operations to date have been funded primarily by private placements of common stock and convertible notes, as well as by loans from its management and controlling stockholders.
As at December 31, 2021, the Company had $119,466 in cash and $4,764,108 in current liabilities resulting in a working capital deficit of $4,644,642. The Company is not currently able to maintain its operations through its existing cash balances and internally generated cash flows. Moreover, we have determined that the current capital structure of the Company is not adequate to fund its planned growth.
We intend to secure additional capital to fund the Company’s operations through the issuance of common stock, convertible debt instruments and loans from our management. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in obtaining the capital the Company requires to achieve its business objectives, or that such capital will be available on acceptable terms. Future cash flows are subject to a number of variables, including technology development costs, technology product rollout and support expense and the demand for the Company’s products and services.
Operating Activities
During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company used net cash of $1,249,760 in operating activities compared to $910,344 for the year ended December 31, 2020. The decrease was primarily attributable to decreased net losses.
The Company’s average monthly cash burn rate was $104,000 during the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to $75,862 for the year ended December 31, 2020. Subject to the success of the Company’s financing activities, we expect to increase operating activities in the coming year with a concomitant increase in the Company’s monthly burn rate. We will not be able to predict the increase to our burn rate until we have determined the outcomes of our financing activities.
Investing Activities
The Company purchased on hend-held self-positioning white light scanner system during the year ended December 31, 2020. The original cost was $43,447.
Financing Activities
The Company received net cash of $1,439,902 from financing activities during the year ended December 31, 2021, consisting primarily from the issuance of convertible notes. During the year ended December 31, 2020, we received a net of $1,125,215 from financing activities which, again, we primarily from the issue of convertible notes. We expect to continue our financing activities to fund our operations until such time as the Company’s technologies are commercialized and we generate revenue on a profitable basis.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
We currently have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
Critical Accounting Policies
The discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations is based upon its financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are affected by management’s application of accounting policies. We believe that understanding the basis and nature of the estimates and assumptions involved with the following aspects of the Company’s financial statements is critical to an understanding of its financial statements.
We adopted ASC 606 effective January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method. Under this method, the Company follows the five-step model provided by ASC Topic 606 in order to recognize revenue in the following manner: 1) Identify the contract; 2) Identify the performance obligations of the contract; 3) Determine the transaction price of the contract; 4) Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations; and 5) Recognize revenue. An entity recognizes revenue for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration for which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company’s revenue recognition policies remained substantially unchanged as a result of the adoption of ASC 606, and there were no significant changes in business processes or systems.
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” and subsequent amendments, which replaced existing lease accounting guidance in GAAP and requires lessees to recognize right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities on the balance sheet for all in-scope leases with a term of greater than 12 months and requires disclosure of certain quantitative and qualitative information pertaining to an entity’s leasing arrangements. The Company adopted the standard as of January 1, 2019. The adoption of the standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations or consolidated statements of cash flows.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. We regularly evaluate estimates and assumptions related to the recoverability of long-lived assets, valuation of convertible debentures, assumptions used to determine the fair value of stock-based compensation and derivative liabilities, and deferred income tax asset valuation allowances. We base our estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from our estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
We adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (FASB) Accounting Codification Standard No. 820 (“ASC 820), Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure of fair value measurements. ASC 820 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements and accordingly, does not require any new fair value measurements. ASC 820 clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, ASC 820 established a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
Level 1 - Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;
Level 2 - Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
The Company’s financial instruments consist principally of cash, amounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities, due to related parties and convertible notes. Pursuant to ASC 820, the fair value of the Company’s cash is determined based on “Level 1” inputs, which consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. We believe that the recorded values of all of the Company’s other financial instruments approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective maturity dates or durations.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
We have reviewed the FASB issue Accounting Standards Update, (“ASU”) accounting pronouncements and interpretations thereof that have effectiveness dates during the period reported and in future periods. The Company has carefully considered the new pronouncements that alter previous generally accepted accounting principles and does not believe that any new or modified principles will have a material impact on the corporation’s reported financial position or operations in the near term. The applicability of any standard is subject to the formal review of our financial management and certain standards are under consideration.

Stockholders of Tautachrome, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Tautachrome, Inc. (the Company) as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2021, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2021, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continues as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered a net loss from operations and has a net capital deficiency, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding those matters are discussed in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

TAUTACHROME, INC. AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1 - Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization and Nature of Business
History
Tautachrome, Inc. was formed in Delaware on June 5, 2006 as Caddystats, Inc. and hereinafter collectively referred to as “Tautachrome”, the “Company”, “we’ or “us”).
The Company adopted the accounting acquirer’s year end, December 31.
Our Business
Tautachrome operates in the internet applications space, uniquely exploiting the technologies of the Augmented Reality sector, the blockchain/cryptocurrency sector and the smartphone picture and video technology sector. We have high-speed blockchain concepts under development aiming to couple with the Company’s revolutionary patents and licensing in augmented reality, smartphone-image authentication and imagery-based social networking interaction.
Tautachrome is currently pursuing three main avenues of business activity based on our patented activated imaging technology, our blockchain cryptocurrency products, and our licensing of the patent pending ARk technology (together banded “KlickZie” technology):
1.
KlickZie ARk technology business: The Company has licensed and is developing a new KlickZie augmented reality (“AR”) platform branded ARknet. ARknet enables goods and services providers to establish geolocated augmented reality interfaces, called ARks, allowing consumers to purchase the provider’s products and take advantage of is specials and discounts, using the ARk. A provider’s ARk may be located anywhere in the world, from a store location to anyplace else the provider may desire. The ARknet is a fintech platform connecting consumers to providers in the global $48 trillion household goods market, using augmented reality as the medium of interaction.
2.
KlickZie’s blockchain cryptocurrency-based ecosystem: The Company has developed its own digital currency (“KLK”), smart contracts using KLKs, and high speed blockchain concepts aimed at supporting fast frictionless transactions within the ARknet as well as incentivizing user download and use of KlickZie products.
3.
KlickZie Activated Digital Imagery business: The Company is developing downloadable apps based on our patented KlickZie trusted imaging technology and based on our patented trusted image-based social interactions using the pictures and videos that smartphone users create. Trusted imagery and user imagery-based interaction is expected to be widely used within the ARknet.
Basis of Presentation
The Company’s financial statements are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted (GAAP) in the United States. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and the results of operations for the periods presented have been reflected herein.
Principles of Consolidation
Our consolidated financial statements include Tautachrome, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. We regularly evaluate estimates and assumptions related to the recoverability of long-lived assets, valuation of convertible debentures, assumptions used to determine the fair value of stock-based compensation and derivative liabilities, and deferred income tax asset valuation allowances. We base our estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from our estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an initial maturity of 3 months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains its deposits with high quality financial institutions and, accordingly, believes its credit risk exposure associated with cash is remote. There were no cash equivalents as of December 31, 2021 and 2020.
Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net earnings or loss (the numerator) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period (the denominator). Diluted earnings per common share is similar to the computation for basic earnings per share, except that the denominator is increased by the dilutive effect of stock options outstanding and unvested restricted shares and share units, computed using the treasury stock method. There are currently no common stock equivalents.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
We adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (FASB) Accounting Codification Standard No. 820 (“ASC 820), Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure of fair value measurements. ASC 820 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements and accordingly, does not require any new fair value measurements. ASC 820 clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, ASC 820 established a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
Level 1 - Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;
Level 2 - Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
At December 31, 2021 and 2020, we had total liabilities of $4,779,104 and $3,992,194, respectively. Of this amount, only the derivative liabilities of $1,384,775 and 1,479,530, respectively ,were calculated using level 3 inputs. All other liabilities were calculated using level 1 inputs.
Income Taxes
We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to be recovered. We provide a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets for which we do not consider realization of such assets to be more likely than not.
See Note 7 for our reconciliation of income tax expense and deferred income taxes as of and for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.
Note 2 - Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As shown in the accompanying financial statements, we had negative cash flows from operations of $1,249,760 and $910,344 for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and have experienced recurring losses, and negative working capital at December 31, 2020 and 2019. These conditions raise substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern.
The Company may raise additional capital through the sale of its equity securities, through an offering of debt securities, or through borrowings from financial institutions or related parties. Management believes that actions presently being taken to obtain additional funding may provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern. There is no guarantee the Company will be successful in achieving these objectives.
Note 3 - Related Party Transactions

Convertible note payable, related party
On May 5, 2013 (and on August 8, 2013 with an enlargement amendment) the Company entered into a no interest demand-loan agreement with our current Chairman, Jon N. Leonard under which the Company may borrow such money from Dr. Leonard as Dr. Leonard in his sole discretion is willing to loan.
The terms of the note provide that at the Company’s option, the Company may make repayments in stock, at a fixed share price of $1.00 per share. Also, because this loan is a no-interest loan, an imputed interest expense of $177 was recorded as additional paid-in capital for the year ended December 31, 2021. The Company evaluated Dr. Leonard’s note for the existence of a beneficial conversion feature and determined that none existed.

Long-term convertible notes payable, net
There are no long-term convertible notes payable as all convertible notes have been reclassified either to short-term or in-default.
Imputed Interest
Certain of our promissory notes bear no nominal interest. We therefore imputed interest expense and increased Additional Paid in Capital. For the year ended December 31, 2021, we imputed 10,701 of such interest. Of this amount, $179 is imputed on amounts owed to Jon Leonard, our Chief Executive Officer, and $10,522 was imputed on twenty eight outstanding loans in Australia.
Derivative liabilities
The above-referenced convertible promissory notes issued during the year ended December 31, 2021 were analyzed in accordance with EITF 07-05 and ASC 815. EITF 07-5, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2009, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The objective of EITF 07-5 is to provide guidance for determining whether an equity-linked financial instrument is indexed to an entity’s own stock. This determination is needed for a scope exception under Paragraph 11(a) of ASC 815 which would enable a derivative instrument to be accounted for under the accrual method. The classification of a non-derivative instrument that falls within the scope of EITF 00-19 “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock” also hinges on whether the instrument is indexed to an entity’s own stock. A non-derivative instrument that is not indexed to an entity’s own stock cannot be classified as equity and must be accounted for as a liability. The EITF reached a consensus that would establish a two-step approach in determining whether an instrument or embedded feature is indexed to an entity’s own stock. First, the instrument’s contingent exercise provisions, if any, must be evaluated, followed by an evaluation of the instrument’s settlement provisions.
Derivative financial instruments should be recorded as liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet and measured at fair value. For purposes of this engagement and report, we utilized fair value as the basis for formulating our opinion which has been defined by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) as “the amount for which an asset (or liability) could be exchanged in a current transaction between knowledgeable, unrelated willing parties when neither party is acting under compulsion”. The FASB has provided guidance that its definition of fair value is consistent with the definition of fair market value in IRS Rev. Rule 59-60.
The Company issued certain fixed-rate convertible Subscription Notes from 2015 through December 31, 2021 in the United States and Australia These convertible notes have become tainted (“The Tainted Notes”) as a result of the issuance of convertible promissory notes issued in the United States since there is a possibility (however remote) that the Company would not have enough shares in the Treasury to satisfy all possible conversions.
The Convertible Note derivatives were valued as of issuance; conversion; redemption/settlement; and each quarterly period from March 31, 2018 through December 31, 2021. The following assumptions were used for the valuation of the derivative liability related to the Notes:
·
The stock price of $0.0060 to $0.00450 in this period would fluctuate with the Company projected volatility.
·
The notes convert with variable conversion prices based on the percentages of the low or average trades or bids over 20 to 25 trading days.
·
The effective discounts rates estimated throughout the periods are 37%.
·
The Holder would automatically convert the note before maturity if the registration was effective and the company was not in default.
·
The projected annual volatility for each valuation period was based on the historic volatility of the company are 143.0% - 178% (annualized over the term remaining for each valuation).
·
An event of default would occur 0% of the time, increasing 1.00% per month to a maximum of 20%.
·
The Holders would redeem the notes (with penalties up to 50% depending on the date and full-partial redemption) based on availability of alternative financing of 0% of the time, increasing 1.00% per month to a maximum of 5%.
·
The Holder would automatically convert the note at the maximum of 2 times the conversion price or the stock price on the date of valuation.
·
The Holder would automatically convert the note based on ownership or trading volume limitations.
We recorded the initial derivative as both a derivative liability and a debt discount (or initial reduction in carrying value of the debt). We then amortized the debt discounts using the Effective Interest Method which recognizes the cost of borrowing at a constant interest rate throughout the contractual term of the obligation. The effective interest rates on the six instruments issued during the year ended December 31, 2021 range from 7% to 564%. The effective interest rates for the fifteen instruments issued during the year ended December 31, 2020 range from 49% to 132%.
At each reporting date, we determine the fair market value for each derivative associated with each of the above instruments. At December 31, 2021, we determined the fair value of these derivatives were $1,384,775.

Note 6 - Litigation Gains and Losses
McRae Lawsuit
On October 10, 2017, the Company received a letter from the lawyer of Eric L McRae (“McRae”) a person whose association with the Company was terminated by the Company on June 16, 2017. The letter demanded payment of 850,000,000 unrestricted Tautachrome common shares to forestall his filing a laundry list of complaints in a variety of government agencies including with the US District Court in Kansas with complaints of contract breaches and fraud by silence, with the EEOC with complaints of termination by racial discrimination, with the OSHA with complains of termination for reasons of his being a whistleblower under Sarbanes-Oxley provisions, and with various regulatory agencies with accusations of an unspecified nature.
This history of the legal proceedings in this case are described in Note 7 to the financial statements filed with Form 10-K on March 30, 2020 and are herewith included by reference.
On May 5, 2020 the Company settled with the McRae estate for 50 million common shares. We valued the shares at the settlement date (May 5, 2020 on which date our closing price was $0.0029) and recorded a Gain on Litigation in the amount of $105,000, a reduction of the amount of the liability to $145,000 as a result of that revaluation. We issued the shares on May 18, 2020.
Note 7 - Income Taxes
Deferred income taxes reflect the tax consequences on future years of differences between the tax bases:

Deferred taxes for 2021 and 2020 are calculated using a marginal tax rate of 21%.
In assessing the realizability of future tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the future tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of future tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of future tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Management has provided for a valuation allowance on all of its losses as there is no assurance that future tax benefits will be realized.
Our tax loss carry-forwards will begin to expire in 2022.
Note 8 - Subsequent Events
On January 13, 2022, we issued 1,000,000 shares in conversion of one Australian convertible promissory note.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)). Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered in this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time periods and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all error or fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Due to the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. To address the material weaknesses, we performed additional analysis and other post-closing procedures in an effort to ensure our consolidated financial statements included in this annual report have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, management believes that the financial statements included in this report fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting.
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act, as amended. Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021. In making this assessment, our management used the 2013 criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“2013 Framework”) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. We have identified the following material weaknesses.
As of December 31, 2021, we did not maintain effective controls over the control environment. Specifically we have not developed and effectively communicated to our employees our accounting policies and procedures. This has resulted in inconsistent practices. Further, the Board of Directors does not currently have any independent members and no director qualifies as an audit committee financial expert as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K. Since these entity level programs have a pervasive effect across the organization, management has determined that these circumstances constitute a material weakness.
As of December 31, 2021, we did not maintain effective controls over financial statement disclosure. Specifically, controls were not designed and in place to ensure that all disclosures required were originally addressed in our financial statements. Accordingly, management has determined that this control deficiency constitutes a material weakness.
As of December 31, 2021, the Company did not establish a formal written policy for the approval, identification and authorization of related party transactions.
Because of these material weaknesses, management has concluded that the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020, based on the criteria established in “Internal Control-Integrated Framework” issued by the COSO.
Change in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during quarterly period ended December 31, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Attestation Report of the Registered Public Accounting Firm
This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

Board of Directors and Committees
At December 31, 2020, our Board of Directors presently consisted of three members: Dr. Jon Leonard, David LaMountain and Frank Antenori. Our Bylaws generally provide for majority approval of directors in order to adopt resolutions, and provide that the Board of Directors may be expanded by Board action. All executive officer compensation, including payroll expenditures, salaries, stock options, stock incentives, and bonuses, must be approved by the unanimous consent of the Board of Directors. The entire Board of Directors acts as the Audit Committee and the Compensation Committee.
On future compensation matters, the Board will consider and recommend payroll expenditures, salaries, stock options, stock incentive and bonus proposals for our employees (if any). Acting in its audit committee function, the Board reviews, with our independent accountants, our annual financial statements prior to publication, and reviews the work of, and approves non-audit services performed by, such independent accountants. The Board appoints the independent public accountants for the ensuing year. The Board also reviews the effectiveness of the financial and accounting functions and the organization, operation and management of our Company.
Delinquent Section 16(a) Reports
The following table identifies each person who, at any time during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, was a director, executive officer, or beneficial owner of more than 10% of our common stock that failed to file on a timely basis reports required by Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act during the most recent fiscal year:

Code of Ethics
We do not currently have a Code of Ethics, because we have only limited business operations, have a limited number of officers and directors, and believe a Code of Ethics would, at the present time, have limited utility. We intend to adopt such a Code of Ethics as our business operations expand and we have more directors, officers and employees.
Procedure for Nominating Directors
We have not made any material changes to the procedures by which security holders may recommend nominees to our board of directors.
The board does not have a written policy or charter regarding how director candidates are evaluated or nominated for the board. Additionally, the board has not created particular qualifications or minimum standards that candidates for the board must meet. Instead, the board considers how a candidate could contribute to the Company’s business and meet the needs of the Company and the board.
Indemnification
Under our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the corporation, we may indemnify an officer or director who is made a party to any proceeding, including a law suit, because of his position, if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in our best interest. We may advance expenses incurred in defending a proceeding. To the extent that the officer or director is successful on the merits in a proceeding as to which he is to be indemnified, we must indemnify him against all expenses incurred, including attorney’s fees. With respect to a derivative action, indemnity may be made only for expenses actually and reasonably incurred in defending the proceeding, and if the officer or director is judged liable, only by a court order. The indemnification is intended to be to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the State of Delaware.
Regarding indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, which may be permitted to directors or officers under Delaware law, we are informed that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, indemnification is against public policy, as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
Item 11. Executive Compensation
Summary Compensation
Except for the employment agreement for CEO Dr. Jon N Leonard described below, during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, no salary, bonus or other compensation was awarded or earned. However, Jon Leonard was partially paid his accrued salary. Payments to him during 2021 amounted to $43,000.
We intend to adopt a compensation plan for executive officers when we have positive and stable cash flows for the purpose of: (a) attracting and retaining talented executive officers who can assist with our business strategy; (b) aligning the interests of those executive officers with those of the Company; and (c) linking individual compensation to the performance of the Company. Any such plan that we may adopt will be designed to provide compensation that is both in line with our fiscal resources and competitive with companies at a similar stage of development.
The elements of compensation to be awarded to, earned by, paid to, or payable to our executive officers are currently expected to be composed of: (i) base salary (or consulting fees); (ii) option-based awards; and (iii) cash bonuses or share-based awards for exceptional performance that results in a significant increase in stockholder value.
Base salary will be a fixed element of compensation payable to executive officers for performing the specific duties of their respective positions. The amount of base salary for each executive officer will be reviewed and set annually by the Board of Directors. While base salary is intended to fit into our overall compensation objectives by serving to attract and retain talented executive officers, the size of the Company and the nature and stage of its business will also impact the level of base salary.
We intend to use option-based awards as a variable element of compensation to attract and reward talented executives and professionals. Option-based awards are intended fit into our overall compensation objectives by aligning the interests of executive officers with those of the Company and linking individual compensation to its performance. The Board of Directors will be responsible for setting and amending any equity incentive plan under which an option based award would be granted. Previous grants of stock options will be taken into account when considering new grants.
We intend to award bonuses at our sole discretion and do not have any pre-existing performance criteria or objectives.
At this time we do not provide medical, dental, pension or other benefits to our executive officers.
Employment Agreements
The Company has an employment agreement with Dr. Jon Leonard, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer at a compensation rate of $60,000 (which increases 5% per year) and six weeks per year of paid vacation. Payment and vacation benefits began to accrue in June, 2019.
Other than the agreement in the previous paragraph, there are no employment agreements or arrangements, whether written or unwritten, between the Company and any of its executive officers. We do not contemplate entering into any other employment agreements with our executive officers until the Company has positive and stable cash flows.
Incentive Plans
The Company does not have any plan or arrangement providing compensation to executive officers or directors intended to serve as an incentive for performance to occur over any period.
Equity Compensation Plans
The Company does not have any stock option plans, stock appreciation rights or any other plan, contract, authorization or arrangement pursuant to which the executive officers or directors of the Company may receive equity-based compensation for their services to the Company.
Outstanding Equity Awards
No executive officer or director of the Company had any unexercised option, stock that had not vested or equity incentive plan award as at the end of the Company’s last completed fiscal year.
Pension and Retirement Plans
The Company does not have any plan or arrangement by which to provide pension, retirement or similar benefits to its executive officers or directors, and we do not currently intend to offer such any such plan or arrangement until we have positive and stable cash flows
Termination, Resignation or Change of Control
The Company is not a party to any contract or agreement, and has not entered into any plan or arrangement that may provide for payment to an executive officer or a director at, following, or in connection with the resignation, retirement or other termination of an executive officer or director, or a change of control of the Company or a change in the responsibilities of an executive officer following a change of control.
Compensation of Directors
The members of the Board of Directors do not receive compensation for their services as directors, but they are entitled to reimbursement for reasonable travel and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with attendance at meetings of our board of directors. We may pay cash compensation to an executive officer who is also a director, but only in his or her capacity as an executive officer. We do not currently have an established policy to provide compensation to directors for their services in that capacity.
Director Independence
Our Board of Directors has determined that none of our directors is “independent” as defined under the standards set forth in Section 303A.02 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual. In making this determination, the Board of Directors considered all transactions set forth in the section titled “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions,” elsewhere in this prospectus.
