ITEM 1. BUSINESS

A. BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT

There have been no changes to our business development since our last annual report on Form 10-K. We are still in the start-up stage and have not commenced operations.

B. FINANCIAL INFORMATION ABOUT SEGMENTS

As defined by generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), we do not have any segments separate and apart from our business as a whole. Accordingly, there are no measures of revenue from external customers, profit and loss, or total assets aside from what is reported in the Financial Statements attached to this Form 10-K.

C. BUSINESS OF THE COMPANY

HST Global, Inc. (the “Company”) was founded as an integrated health and wellness biotechnology company with a plan to develop and /or acquire a network of wellness centers worldwide that would be primarily focused on the homeopathic and alternative treatment of late stage cancer.

To date we have been unable to initiate our original business plan. While we are continuing to seek opportunities to do so, we are also seeking other opportunities to integrate assets, rights, or other potential revenue streams.

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES

Market Information

Our common stock is quoted in United States markets on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Boards ("OTC BB"), under the symbol "HSTC.OB." There is no assurance that the common stock will continue to be traded on the OTC BB or that any liquidity exists for our shareholders.

Penny Stock Regulations

Our common stock is quoted in United States markets on the OTC BB under the symbol "HSTC.OB." The sale price of our common stock has been reported as low as $0.001 per share. As such, the Company's common stock may be subject to provisions of Section 15(g) and Rule 15g-9 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), commonly referred to as the "penny stock rule."

Section 15(g) sets forth certain requirements for transactions in penny stocks, and Rule 15g-9(d) incorporates the definition of "penny stock" that is found in Rule 3a51-1 of the Exchange Act. The Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) generally defines "penny stock" to be any equity security that has a market price less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. As long as the Company's common stock is deemed to be a penny stock, trading in the shares will be subject to additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell penny stocks to persons other than established customers and accredited investors.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION

Forward-Looking Statements

Statements about our future expectations are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of applicable Federal Securities Laws, and are not guarantees of future performance. When used herein, the words "may," "will," "should," "anticipate," "believe," "appear," "intend," "plan," "expect," "estimate," "approximate," and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These statements involve risks and uncertainties inherent in our business, including those set forth under the caption "Risk Factors" in other filings with the SEC, and are subject to change at any time. Our actual results could differ materially from these forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statement.

Overview

The Company was founded as an integrated health and wellness biotechnology company with a plan to develop and /or acquire a network of wellness centers worldwide that would be primarily focused on the homeopathic and alternative treatment of late stage cancer.

Plan of Operation

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and related personnel costs, professional fees, business insurance, rent, general legal activities, and other corporate expenses.

We have never been profitable and do not anticipate having net income unless and until we develop and/or acquire our wellness centers and/or develop new channels of distribution. With respect to our current activities, this is not likely to occur until we obtain significant additional funding. We cannot provide any assurance that we will be able to achieve profitability on a sustained basis, if at all, obtain the required funding, obtain, or complete additional corporate partnering or acquisition transactions.

Accordingly, we will need to raise additional funds or pursue strategic transactions or other strategic alternatives. To date, we have financed our operations primarily through private sales of our equity securities, and we expect to continue obtaining required capital in a similar manner.

Results of Operations

The Company had no revenues and no cost of revenues for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.

The Company incurred operating expenses of $146,210 for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to $145,074 in 2022. The increase in expenses in 2023 was primarily a result of an increase of accounting expenses. We do not believe these costs are indicative of future years, and we cannot at this time predict our costs if and when we begin earning revenues and exit the start-up stage.

The Company had a net loss of $146,210 for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to a net loss of $145,074 in 2022. This is primarily a result of the increase in accounting expenses during 2023.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our capital requirements are principally related to our efforts to implement our business plan. Our cash balance as of December 31, 2023 was $1,526.

The Company is continuing to pursue working capital and additional revenue through the seeking of the capital it needs to carry on its planned operations. There is no assurance that any of the planned activities will be successful.

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of HST Global, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the related consolidated statements of statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2023, 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 HST Global, Inc. as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2023, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company has yet to establish an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these 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 entity’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.

We have served as HST Global, Inc.’s auditor since 2020.

HST Global, Inc.NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSFor the Years Ended December 31, 2023 and 2022

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES

HST Global, Inc. (“the Company”) was incorporated on April 11, 1984 under the laws of the State of Delaware under the name of NT Holding Corporation. The Company has made several acquisitions and disposals of various business entities and activities. On May 9, 2008, the Company entered into a Merger and share exchange agreement with Health Source Technologies, Inc. This business acquisition has been accounted for as a reverse merger or recapitalization of Health Source Technologies, Inc (“Health Source”). At the time of the merger NT Holding Corporation had disposed of its assets and liabilities and had minimal operations. Immediately after the acquisition the Company changed its name to HST Global, Inc. Health Source Technologies, Inc. was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on August 6, 2007. The Company is currently headquartered in Hampton, Virginia.

The Company is an integrated health and wellness biotechnology company with a plan to develop and/or acquire a network of wellness centers worldwide with the primary focus on homeopathic and alternative treatments of late stage cancer and other life threatening diseases. In addition, the Company intends to acquire innovative products for the treatment of life threatening diseases. The Company primarily focuses on homeopathic and alternative product candidates that are undergoing or have already completed significant clinical testing for the treatment of late stage cancer and/or life threatening diseases.

NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements and related notes include the activity of the Company and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) to Form 10-K.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include our wholly-owned subsidiary, Health Source. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Accounting Method

The Company’s financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting. The Company has elected a December 31 year end.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Page 13

Cash and Cash Equivalents

We maintain cash balances in non-interest-bearing accounts, which do not currently exceed federally insured limits. For the purpose of the consolidated statements of cash flows, all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with accounting guidance now codified as FASB ASC 740, "Income Taxes," which requires that the Company recognize deferred tax liabilities and assets based on the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities, using enacted tax rates in effect in the years the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred income tax benefit (expense) results from the change in net deferred tax assets or deferred tax liabilities. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is more likely than not that some or all deferred tax assets will not be realized.

The Company applies the provisions of ASC 740, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”. The ASC clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise's financial statements. The ASC prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The ASC provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. The Company did not identify any material uncertain tax positions on returns that have been filed or that will be filed. The Company did not recognize any interest or penalties for unrecognized tax benefits during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, nor were any interest or penalties accrued as of December 31, 2023 and 2022.

Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share

The computations of basic loss per share of common stock are based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding at the date of the consolidated financial statements. The Company computes net income (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260. ASC 260 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the consolidated statement of operations. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing Diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential shares if their effect is antidilutive. The Company had no common stock equivalents outstanding as of December 31, 2023 and 2022.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company adopted ASC 718, “Stock Compensation,” effective on January 1, 2019. Under ASC 718, all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, are to be recognized in the consolidated statements of operations based on their fair values. As of December 31, 2023, the Company has not issued any employer stock options.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). The standard outlines a valuation framework and creates a fair value hierarchy in order to increase the consistency and comparability of fair value measurements and the related disclosures. Under this standard certain assets and liabilities must be measured at fair value, and disclosures are required for items measured at fair value.

The Company currently does not have non-financial assets or non-financial liabilities that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company’s financial assets and liabilities are measured using inputs from the three levels of the fair value hierarchy. The three levels are as follows:

Page 14

Level 1 - Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date. The fair value of the Company’s cash is based on quoted prices and therefore classified as Level 1.

Level 2 - Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (e.g., interest rates, yield curves, etc.), and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs).

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that reflect our assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Management has considered all recent accounting pronouncements issued since the last audit of our consolidated financial statements. The Company’s management believes that these recent pronouncements will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 3 – GOING CONCERN

The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared using U.S. GAAP applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business within one year after the date these consolidated financial statements were issued. The Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and allow it to continue as a going concern. There is substantial doubt that the Company can continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the issuance of these consolidated financial statements. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company obtaining adequate capital to fund operating losses until it becomes profitable. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease operations.

Management’s plan to support the Company in its operations and to maintain its business strategy is to raise funds through public offerings and to rely on officers and directors to perform essential functions with minimal compensation. If the Company does not raise all of the money it needs from public offerings, it will have to find alternative sources, such as a second public offering, a private placement of securities, or loans from its officers, directors or others. If the Company requires additional cash and is unable to raise it, it will either have to suspend operations until the cash is raised, or cease business entirely.

The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding paragraph and eventually secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

Total related party notes payable as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 were $98,319 and $76,077. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company received $22,242 in additional cash loans.

Executive Offices

The Company's executive offices are located at 150 Research Dr., Hampton VA. These offices are leased by The Health Network, Inc. ("THN"), of which Ron Howell is President. THN allows the Company to use the office space without a formal sublease or rental agreement.

Consulting Agreements

The Company has entered into a consulting agreement with Mr. Howell, President of the Company, whereby the Company agreed to pay Mr. Howell $10,000 per month for consulting services through December 31, 2010. The Company had agreed to continue to engage Mr. Howell as a consultant until his consulting services are no longer required. The agreement was suspended from July, 2019 through December, 2019 due to the pendency of the APA, and has resumed beginning in January, 2020 due to the termination of the APA.

During the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized $120,000 for consulting fees in each year for Ronald Howell.

As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company owed Mr. Howell $480,000 and $360,000 under the consulting agreement.

NOTE 6 – COMMON STOCK

None.

NOTE 7 – INCOME TAXES

The Company follows ASC 740, under which deferred income taxes reflect the net effect of (a) temporary difference between carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial purposes and the amounts used for income tax reporting purposes, and (b) net operating loss carry-forwards. No net provision for refundable Federal income tax has been made in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations because no recoverable taxes were paid previously. Similarly, no deferred tax asset attributable to the net operating loss carry-forward has been recognized, as it is not deemed likely to be realized.

The cumulative tax effect at the expected rate of 21 percent of significant items comprising our net deferred tax amount is as follows:

	Year ended December 31, 2023	Year ended December 31, 2022
Income tax benefit attributable to:
Net operating loss	$(30,704)	$(30,466)
Change in valuation allowance	30,704	30,466
Net refundable amount	$-	$-

The cumulative tax effect at the expected rate of 21 percent (for 2023 & 2022) of significant items comprising our net deferred tax amount is as follows:

Page 16

	December 31, 2023	December 31, 2022
Deferred tax asset attributable to:
Net operating loss carry forwards	$(1,284,447)	$(1,253,743)
Common stock issued for services	113,692	113,692
Valuation allowance	1,170,755	1,140,051
Net deferred tax asset	$-	$-

The Company’s zero percent effective tax rate for each year, as compared to the 21 percent statutory rate, results from non-deductible stock based compensation and the change in valuation allowance.

At December 31, 2023, the Company had an unused net operating loss carry-forward of approximately $5,428,815 that is available to offset future taxable income; the loss carry-forward will begin to expire in 2027.

NOTE 8 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In accordance with ASC 855, Subsequent Events, Company management reviewed all material events and transactions through the date of this report and determined that there are no material subsequent events or transactions requiring an adjustment to or disclosure in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

Our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Securities Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of December 31, 2023. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Act (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.) is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive and Principal Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2023 for the reasons discussed below.

(b) 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 Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-a5(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use of disposition of our 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. 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 of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this assessment, our management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2023 and there are material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of control deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

The material weaknesses relate to the limited number of persons responsible for the recording and reporting of financial information, the lack of separation of financial reporting duties, and the limited size of our management team in general. We are in the process evaluating methods of improving our internal control over financial reporting, including the possible addition of financial reporting staff and the increased separation of financial reporting responsibility, and intend to implement such steps as are necessary and possible to correct these material weaknesses.

Page 18

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the year ended December 31, 2023, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Section 16(A) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") requires our directors and officers, and persons who own more than ten percent of the Common Stock to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC and the American Stock Exchange. SEC regulations require reporting persons to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

Based solely on our review of the copies of the Forms 3, 4 and 5 and amendments thereto furnished to us by the persons required to make such filings during fiscal 2021 and our own records, we believe that no director or officer failed to file timely any beneficial ownership report.

Corporate Governance.

We have not adopted a code of ethics do date. We are in the process of evaluating the standards of conduct necessary for the deterrence of malfeasance and the promotion of ethical conduct and accountability, and will determine whether a code of ethics is necessary based on our evaluation.

The Company does not have a standing Nominating Committee. There have been no changes to the procedures whereby security holders may recommend nominees to the registrant's board of directors.

The Company is not a "listed issuer" as defined by Rule 10A-3, and does not have a standing Audit Committee. We do not have a financial expert serving on our board of directors.

ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

We do not have a standing compensation committee. Our board of directors as a whole makes the decisions as to employee benefit programs and officer and employee compensation. The primary objectives of our executive compensation programs are to:

- attract, retain and motivate skilled and knowledgeable individuals;

- ensure that compensation is aligned with our corporate strategies and business objectives;

- promote the achievement of key strategic and financial performance measures by linking short-term and long-term cash and equity incentives to the achievement of measurable corporate and individual performance goals; and

-align executives' incentives with the creation of stockholder value.

To achieve these objectives, our board of directors evaluates our executive compensation program with the objective of setting compensation at levels they believe will allow us to attract and retain qualified executives. In addition, a portion of each executive's overall compensation is tied to key strategic, financial and operational goals set by our board of directors. We also generally provide a portion of our executive compensation in the form of options that vest over time, which we believe helps us retain our executives and align their interests with those of our stockholders by allowing the executives to participate in our longer term success as reflected in asset growth and stock price appreciation.

Page 21

Named Executive Officers

The following table identifies our principal executive officer, our principal financial officer and our most highly paid executive officers, who, for purposes of this Compensation Disclosure and Analysis only, are referred to herein as the "named executive officers."

Name Corporate Office Ron Howell Chief Executive Officer and Interim Chief Financial Officer

Components of our Executive Compensation Program

The primary elements of our executive compensation program will be base salaries and option grant incentive awards, although the board of directors has the authority to award cash bonuses, benefits and other forms of compensation as it sees fit.

The Company has entered into a consulting agreement with Mr. Howell whereby the Company agreed to pay Mr. Howell $10,000 per month. Mr. Howell did not accrue these consulting fees from July, 2019 through December, 2019 due to the pendency of the APA with Orbital; however, Mr. Howell resumed accruing these consulting fees after termination of the APA in January, 2020. The Company intends to continue to engage Mr. Howell as a consultant until his consulting services are no longer required.

We do not have any formal or informal policy or target for allocating compensation between short-term and long-term compensation, between cash and non-cash compensation or among the different forms of non-cash compensation. Instead, we have determined subjectively on a case-by-case basis the appropriate level and mix of the various compensation components. Similarly, we do not rely on benchmarking against our competitors in making compensation related decisions.

Base salaries – Base salaries will be used to recognize the experience, skills, knowledge and responsibilities required of our named executive officers. Base salary, and other components of compensation, may be evaluated by our board of directors for adjustment based on an assessment of the individual's performance and compensation trends in our industry.

Equity Awards – Our stock option award program will be the primary vehicle for offering long-term incentives to our executives. To date, we have not issued any equity awards. We intend our equity awards to executives to generally be made in the form of warrants. We believe that equity grants in the form of warrants provide our executives with a direct link to our long-term performance, create an ownership culture, and align the interests of our executives and our stockholders.

Cash bonuses – Our board of directors has the discretion to award cash bonuses based on our financial performance and individual objectives. The corporate financial performance measures (revenues and profits) will be given the greatest weight in this bonus analysis. We have not yet granted any cash bonuses to any named executive officer nor have we yet developed any specific individual objectives while we wait to attain revenue and profitability levels sufficient to undertake any such bonuses.

Benefits and other compensation – Our named executive officers are permitted to participate in such health care, disability insurance, bonus and other employee benefits plans as may be in effect with the Company from time to time to the extent the executive is eligible under the terms of those plans. As of the date of this Registration Statement, with exception to health care, we have not implemented any such employee benefit plans.

Page 22

As discussed below, we have not agreed to pay the Named Executive Officers an annual salary. We will negotiate base salary in the near future.

Summary Annual Salary

The Board of Directors will determine what level of compensation is appropriate to offer Mr. Howell in the near future.

Nonqualified Deferred Compensation

To date, we currently offer no defined contribution or other plan that provides for the deferral of compensation on a basis that is not tax-qualified to any of our employees, including the named executive officers.

Compensation of Directors

We intend to use a combination of cash and equity-based compensation to attract and retain candidates to serve on our board of directors. We intend to compensate directors who are also our employees for their service on our board of directors. Therefore, Mr. Howell will receive compensation for his service on our board of directors, which compensation has not yet been determined.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

We do not currently have a standing Compensation Committee. Our entire board of directors participated in deliberations concerning executive officer compensation.

Compensation Committee Report

The board of directors has reviewed and discussed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis required by Item 402(b) of Regulation S-K with management and, based on such review and discussions, the board of directors has recommended that this Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
