~~Jonathan~~The R.common ~~Bellock was appointed~~stock byof the ~~board~~Company currently oftrades ~~directors~~ on ~~November~~the 1,OTC ~~2017~~Securities asMarket aunder ~~director~~the symbol “FHRT”. The common stock of the Company has an illiquid trading market and fails to attract any market following. The Company ~~effective~~understands ~~November~~that 20its public shareholders have freely tradable common stock and that maintaining a trading market, ~~2017~~even if toit ~~fill~~is illiquid, is beneficial for the ~~vacancy~~continued ~~created~~ability ~~upon~~of ~~Mr.~~the public ~~Harding’s~~shareholders ~~retirement~~to trade the stock. ~~Mr.~~Therefore, ~~Bellock~~the ~~became~~Company ~~vice~~intends ~~president~~ to maintain at least one of its listings in the ~~Company~~Mergent ~~also~~Industrial ~~effective~~Manual, the Mergent OTC ~~November~~Industrial 20Manual, ~~2017. Mr.~~and/or ~~Bellock~~the ~~received~~Mergent ~~his~~OTC ~~Bachelor~~Unlisted ofManual ~~Arts~~which atby ~~Union~~being tri-published ~~College~~in a “recognized securities manual” provides the 39 individual states’ securities regulations “manual exemption” provision under which broker-dealers are free to solicit and ~~has~~trade ~~been~~stock ~~with~~of the published companies thus permitting secondary trading in the Company’s ~~since~~stock ~~2009~~for asinvestors ain ~~site~~up ~~coordinator. In~~to 39 ~~2011~~states. Further, ~~he opened~~the ~~and~~Company ~~began~~will ~~operating~~attempt to maintain a ~~new~~continued ~~regional~~listing through ~~office~~the inOTC ~~Houston,~~Securities ~~TX. Since~~Market ~~2011~~through its Pink Sheets listings; however, hethere ~~has~~can ~~worked~~be inno ~~Houston,~~assurance TXthat onany ~~project~~broker-dealer ~~acquisition~~will ~~and~~make ~~development~~or continue to make a market in ~~both~~the Company’s common stock; it is required for trading on the OTC ~~fee~~Pink Sheets that at least one broker-~~for-service~~dealer ~~and~~make ~~shopping~~a ~~center~~market ~~development~~in ~~programs~~the Company’s common stock. ~~Mr.~~However, ~~Bellock~~once it Goes Dark, it is anticipated that the Company’s ~~grandson~~shares ofwould ~~Mr.~~have ~~Ellis~~far less visibility and the current limited liquidity may be further constrained in the market, and the ~~chairman~~current ofbroker-dealers making markets in the Company’s common stock may cease doing so further constraining the market for the Company’s common stock.

~~SIGNATURES~~Once the Company Goes Dark, it will have reduced regulatory oversight and therefore may be able to implement shareholder initiatives such as share repurchase programs with less regulatory restrictions. By Going Dark, the Company will produce and share far less information available to the investing public. Thus investors will often not have relatively current information on which to base their investment decisions. However, the Company’s common stock will still be eligible to trade among public investors and thus continues to be a publicly traded entity and continues to be subject to the antifraud and insider trading provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

~~Pursuant~~The ~~to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the~~ Company ~~has~~intends ~~duly~~to ~~caused~~file ~~this report~~its Form 15 to besuspend ~~signed~~and onterminate its ~~behalf~~reporting byobligations ~~the~~on ~~undersigned,~~or ~~hereunto~~about ~~duly~~October ~~authorized~~31, 2018.
