The Company’s website is www.enigma-bulwark.com.

The Company’s Common Stock is quoted on the OTC Pink under the symbol “EBWK”.

CORPORATE HISTORY

Formation and Development

The Company was incorporated in Nevada on September 30, 2005, and is headquartered in Los Angeles, California. Formerly PearTrack Security Systems, Inc., the Company’s name was changed to Enigma-Bulwark, Ltd., on October 9, 2019, pursuant to a majority of the Company’s shareholders and unanimous resolution of the board of directors.

Enigma-Bulwark, Ltd. (“Enigma” or “Company”) is a security and risk management company that provides physical security, technology-systems integration, and risk management advisory services. Services offered to assess and mitigate risk include security guards, risk management analysis, and proprietary and third-party technology and software. Target markets include corporations, governments and individuals across the globe.

During 2014 through 2016, the Company, operating as PearTrack Security Systems, Inc., initiated a test deployment of its platform and system globally, and managed clients seeking to track their assets in motion and in remote locations.

During 2016 through 2018, the Company sought financing for the further development of its intellectual property, including the finalization of the PearLoxx container locking and tracking prototype, and the commercialization of an updated PearTrack platform and tracking system. In addition, strategic acquisitions were pursued to expand the Company’s intellectual property portfolio.

Due to the Company’s inability to successfully commercialize the PearTrack intellectual property acquired in 2013 (the “PearTrack IP”), all rights, title and interest in the PearTrack IP reverted to the former licensees on December 31, 2018, and, pursuant to the terms of the ~~collateralized~~Security ~~agreement~~Agreement, the related Note issued to the licensors (the “Note Holders”) was canceled. In addition, all rights to future royalties collectible under any sub-license previously issued by the Company for the PearTrack IP reverted to the Note Holders. As a result, in 2018, the Company recognized a gain on the extinguishment of debt of $2,000,000.

Although the PearTrack IP commercialization was unsuccessful, the Company continued to focus on security and risk management, and acquired intellectual property that is based on a patent-pending 2 interactive spontaneous video security technology (the “Safer IP”). On October 11, 2018, the Company executed an Intellectual Property Purchase Agreement (the “Safer Agreement”) with Safer, Inc., a Florida corporation (the “Seller”), for the acquisition of the Safer IP. ~~Pursuant to the Safer Agreement, in exchange for all rights, title and interest in the Safer IP, among other things, the Company delivered to Seller:~~

1.Common Stock Purchase Agreement providing for the Seller the right to purchase 3,500,000 shares of the Company’s restricted Common Stock at a price of $0.001 per share, for $3,500 cash; and

2.Revenue Sharing Agreement providing for a cash earn-out of 3% to be paid to the Seller, up to $1,000,000 paid to Seller, derived from the Adjusted Gross Revenue generated by the Company in connection with the Safer IP; and

3.Royalty Agreement providing for a royalty of 1.5% of the Adjusted Gross Revenue generated by the Company in connection with the Safer IP.

² On July 21, 2021, the Company received a Notice of Allowance from the United States Patent and Trademark Office that its Patent Application 16/618,038 “Network Based Video Surveillance and Logistics for Multiple Users” was granted and would be issued to the Company. For additional information on the patent application, see “Intellectual Property”

Pursuant to the Safer Agreement, in exchange for all rights, title and interest in the Safer IP, among other things, the Company delivered to Seller:

1.Common Stock Purchase Agreement providing for the Seller the right to purchase 3,500,000 shares of the Company’s restricted Common Stock at a price of $0.001 per share, for $3,500 cash; and

3.Royalty Agreement providing for a royalty of 1.5% of the Adjusted Gross Revenue generated by the Company in connection with the Safer IP.

In 2019, the Company was presented with an opportunity to start a security and risk management business headquartered in Cape Town, South Africa, and identified key management to operate the business unit. On August 30, 2019, the Company formed Enigma-Bulwark Risk Management, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary (“EBRM”), to maintain the Company’s security and risk management operations and assets.

In addition, EBRM acquired 100% of the shares of Enigma-Bulwark Security, Inc., a Delaware corporation formed by the Company in May 2019 (“EBS”). The Company attracted key senior management talent with backgrounds in structured finance, insurance, management, and M&A. On August 8, 2019, EBS received its license to provide physical security officers from the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, and commenced its security protection operations in southern Florida, providing security services to the hospitality industry, as well as large events and VIPs/celebrities.

As part of the development of the South African business unit, the Company, through EBRM, entered into a Joint Venture Agreement (the “JV Agreement”) on September 8, 2020, with Prime African Security, Ltd., a South African corporation (“Prime”), to provide security and risk management services in South Africa. The joint venture formed Prime Enigma Africa (Pty) Ltd., a South African corporation (the “Joint Venture”), for which Prime owns 51% of the Common Stock and the Company owns 49%. The JV Agreement is for an initial term of three (3) years, and automatically renews unless canceled in writing by either party.

COVID-19 Pandemic

In December 2019, an outbreak of the COVID-19 virus was reported in Wuhan, China. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) declared the COVID-19 virus a global pandemic, and on March 13, 2020, former President Donald J. Trump declared the virus a national emergency in the United States. As of the date of the filing of this Annual Report, the WHO reports over 757 million confirmed COVID-19 cases and over 6.8 million deaths worldwide, including over 1.1 million in the U.S. This highly contagious disease has spread to most of the countries in the world and throughout the United States, creating a serious impact on customers, workforces and suppliers, disrupting economies and financial markets, and potentially leading to a world-wide economic downturn. It has caused a disruption of the normal operations of many businesses, including the temporary closure or scale-back of business operations and/or the imposition of either quarantine or remote work or meeting requirements for employees, either by government order or on a voluntary basis.

The COVID-19 pandemic may adversely affect the Company’s clients’ operations, its employees and its employee productivity. It may also impact the ability of the Company’s subcontractors, partners, and suppliers to operate and fulfill their contractual obligations, and result in an increase in costs, delays or disruptions in performance. These effects, and the direct effect of the virus and the disruption on the Company’s employees and operations, may negatively impact both the Company’s ability to meet customer demand and its revenue and profit margins. The Company’s employees, in many cases, are working remotely and using various technologies to perform their functions. The Company might experience delays or changes in customer demand, particularly if customer funding priorities change. Further, in reaction to the spread of COVID-19 in the United States, many businesses have instituted social distancing policies, including the closure of offices and worksites and deferring planned business activity. Additionally, the disruption and volatility in the global and domestic capital markets may increase the cost of capital and limit the Company’s ability to access capital. Both the health and economic aspects of the COVID-19 virus are highly fluid and the future course of each is uncertain. For these reasons and other reasons that may come to light if the coronavirus pandemic and associated protective or preventative measures expand, the Company may experience a material adverse effect on its business operations, revenues and financial condition; however, its ultimate impact is highly uncertain and subject to change.

Business Strategy

In today’s complex and connected world, the Company believes that a holistic approach to risk management analysis is an essential component of business and life. The traditional idea of simply placing a guard at a post and using pen-and-paper systems has proven to simply be inadequate in this advanced and fast-paced society, and is precisely why technology needs to be adopted in private security.

The Company’s goal is to establish a worldwide security firm that provides the highest level of security protocols, capabilities and solutions to individuals, companies, and governments. The Company’s initial security operations service luxury hotels and resorts, events, and celebrities in the Miami Beach, Florida, area. The remaining operations are at various stages of development, ranging from commercial stage technology testing to early and mid-development stage, with about 25% of Enigma’s value proposition at the research and development stage. As such, the Company will require additional investment capital to successfully implement its business strategy and fund the completion of its product development. There can be no assurance that such financing will become available or, if it does, that it will be offered to the Company on favorable terms.

The Company believes that the Miami, Florida, operations will be an ideal market entry point for its other security offerings, such as its Smart Video products. Management intends to utilize the Miami operations as a test market for these security technologies, of which the resulting data will prove invaluable in the Company’s larger scale marketing endeavors. Enigma is targeting a wide range of industries, and is positioned to grow its business through the exploitation of its intellectual property and integrated solutions.

The Company’s strategy is a multi-pronged approach that includes a combination of:

·enhancing and expanding existing products and services;

·expanding intellectual property through licensing;

·identifying potential business acquisitions and strategic partnerships;

·expanding nationwide security operations and customer base;

·establishing security operations on a global scale; and

·continuing to upgrade technologies and training personnel.

With the integration of experience, awareness, preparation, capability, innovation, and execution, the Company can design solutions that are threat-focused, intelligence-led, innovative and scalable – solutions that will reflect a clients’ specific risks and objectives.

Client Benefits

·Sector-Leading Expertise – Former military personnel with security expertise and intelligence capability, both domestic and international.

·Client-Focused Approach – Security risk assessment and solutions specific to threats to employees and associates, assets, and investments.

·Localized Solutions – Services include training and managing local security resources.

·Introduce/Upgrade Technology – Augment and enhance the human workflow and make it more effective by the integration of technology solutions.

From forward-threat and asset-extraction professionals to armed and non-armed security officers with multiple certification levels, the Company’s security solutions include threat assessment/analysis, mitigation planning and technology. In addition, with field-tested and field-selected software analytics, and improved communication protocols, clients and end-users are also demanding ancillary offerings for their security systems. The Company intends to include a variety of pre- and post- project services, such as:

·project planning and advisory

·hosted and remotely managed access-control and video

·maintenance contracts

·software licensing

·internal or third-party monitoring

·non-security services:

Management

Management experience and insight translates into best practices and proven strategies that will help anticipate and respond to myriad facility, operational, and safety challenges with confidence. Enigma’s management has extensive knowledge and experience in many fields requiring security and risk management protocols, such as multinational corporations, mining houses, telecommunication providers, transportation and energy companies.

Enigma’s team is at the core of its value, with decades of intelligence and military experience, as well as technology expertise and specialized experience in:

·advanced training techniques

·new and innovative technology applications

·intelligence and reconnaissance

·risk assessment and threat identification.

The Enigma team includes individuals with backgrounds from U.S. and South African Special Forces and military intelligence, and applies its experience to deliver measured and effective security management, regardless of adversary or operating environment. Additionally, Enigma is sensitive and experienced at managing low-profile, security operations in challenging environments.

The Company works with a core management team to remain flexible during times of non-engagement. With over forty years of professional military service, the Enigma team has established a large network of security professionals that can be deployed on a global basis. The Company will continue to identify diverse and skilled security personnel, and develop innovative solutions across the full spectrum of security needs.

Technology and Software

In today’s environment, there is a high demand for companies to become more efficient, secure and operationally aware. That, in turn, is driving the need for real-time data capturing and processing for every part of their business, including security.

Physical security refers to restricting physical access of unauthorized people in controlled facilities to prevent damage to valuable hardware, software, network infrastructure, and other assets. Physical security includes security layers that protect personnel, network, and data in physical facilities, such as campuses, buildings, banks, and offices, from internal or external physical threats, such as natural disasters, fire, theft, burglary, vandalism, and terrorist attacks.³

The physical security segment of the security industry is undergoing the most rapid technological change in its history. Today, a combination of technologies and services are transforming the delivery of physical security services, such as:

·rising Internet Protocol (IP) adoption

·declining legacy sales

·emerging communication standards from broadband to 5G to Wi-Max

·acceptance of security technologies as a service.

While physical security will always be an important barrier against enterprise theft, vandalism, and violence, cybersecurity continues to be the top security concern businesses face today, with a persistent and ever-growing threats. With the developments of cyber hacking, and recent global hijacking of major corporations’ infrastructures, the need for advanced security systems and technologies is at its greatest. To meet these demands, emerging technologies and concepts, such as artificial intelligence (“AI”), cloud computing, intelligent video analytics, and cybersecurity are at the forefront of the security industry. As companies plan to meet the threats of the future, budgets for security systems of all sizes are increasing, and are focused on innovative solutions.

The Company has a developed a strategic plan that will initially incorporate (i) a hybrid systems-integration business model, based on third-party products and services, and (ii) a recurring revenue subscription model, based on the exploitation of its proprietary intermodal container products and services. As the Company moves from equipment sales to consultative solution sales, the unique business problems of clients in target markets will be a primary focus. The Company is identifying vertical market initiatives that will concentrate its expertise.

System Integration

The Company is developing a business unit focused on providing technology-based security solutions through systems integration. System integration is defined simply as the process of bringing together the component sub-stems into one system.⁴ Through system integration, the Company can provide a platform for both third-party technology as well as proprietary products, to be sold to clients through multiple business models, ranging from Security as a Service (SaaS) to direct product sales.

Integration between video and access control is the most sought-after combination. This leads to integration issues, as most manufacturers offer integrations with a variety of video and other security components but not with their fellow access control competitors. Additionally, vendors use their own unique application program interfaces and their own databases with reporting methods that make the integration process challenging. Having qualified System Integrators is essential to solving these issues.

System Integrators

A “System Integrator” is an individual or (company) that specializes in bringing together component subsystems into a whole, ensuring that those subsystems function together.⁵ A security system integrators (“SSI”), for example, can configure a central command-and-control center with a common user interface that shares data. SSIs can also solve issues such as joining disparate security and non-security components so they communicate with each other properly.

Even as technology changes, the main objective of system integration remains the same: to seamlessly coordinate and link various security sub-systems to impede ever-increasing security threats. To meet these objectives, the SSIs engaged by the Company will have expertise installing and managing access control elements like gates, doors, and locks, video surveillance systems, emergency notification systems, lighting, network security and more.

The Company will initially outsource its system integration needs by contracting with SSIs on a per project basis. An experienced SSI can help oversee the full lifecycle of a client’s security systems. Additionally, SSIs can custom-design a security plans, as well as install, implement, test, manage and maintain it. Through the development of relationships with select SSIs, and proven success on multiple projects, the Company will recruit key SSIs that have the qualifications and competencies that best suit the Company’s needs on an exclusive and permanent basis.

With the advent of AI, remote and sensor video analytics, cloud computing, and cybersecurity new opportunities open for the Company’s system integration model. The Company believes that it is not whether technology will have a significant impact on the physical security industry in the next few years; it is which technology will prove the most valuable. With the rapid pace of change in technology, there is no simple answer to this question. The business challenges of yesterday may no longer be the challenges of tomorrow. The Company realizes the need to understand what the unique challenges are for each vertical it focuses on, and work with manufacturers to develop proprietary initiatives and provide proven solutions for specific markets. The Company’s focus is on the following areas:

Security and Protection		Risk Management Advisory Services

Future Technology Concepts and Strategies

The shifts in technologies identify opportunities to generate new business through the introduction of value-added applications, or new services capable of generating recurring monthly revenue. The Company’s goal is to have the following technologies installed either separately or collectively, as part of an integrated offering:

·Artificial Intelligence and Analytics

Clients are looking to AI and data analytics to gain better insight into their operations. These offerings can provide security-related intelligence or operational and customer insights. The key to AI is a self-learning algorithm that, over time, gets better at identifying certain targeted behaviors or transactions, and reduces false positives. The challenge for clients will be clearly defining which data is most valuable to them, who will have access to it, and how to best manage it. The Company can play a key role in this process by having those discussions with clients up front and encouraging a proof-of-concept phase before full rollouts are undertaken.

·Facial Recognition

Facial recognition is growing in popularity among biometric forms of authentication. Microsoft has enabled it for access with Hello for Windows 10 users, major credit card companies have stated their interest in using facial recognition to verify payments and other financial institutions are using it to authenticate customers on mobile devices. Still, it’s use spotting suspects in crowds and protecting airports and borders remains the brass ring for security professionals.

·Security as a Service (SaaS)

The security market has seen an increased demand for Security-as-a-Service (SaaS) offerings. The combination of low, upfront capital costs, along with outsourced services, has made cloud-based video and access-control popular, especially in the hospitality and small-to-medium enterprise markets. As technology developers add more sophisticated applications and services to expand client insights and efficiencies, enterprise retail clients will seek SaaS more and more. Developed as a subscription business model, SaaS generates a recurring revenue stream.

·Cybersecurity

The sheer scope and size of the data breaches the Company has witnessed over the past decade is a daunting reality. The breach of Equifax, one of the most notable examples, has heightened concerns over cyber-preparedness. In turn, clients are increasingly evaluating their level of cybersecurity preparedness, as well as that of their suppliers. The Company’s initial strategy in the cybersecurity market will be to partner with an established cybersecurity company that provides leading-edge tools and solutions.

The execution of the Company’s business strategy will be contingent upon and require significant financing. There can be no assurance that such financing will become available or, if it does, that it will be offered to the Company on favorable terms.

PRODUCTS AND SERVICES

The Company’s wide, but integrated, product and service offerings include security and protection services, intelligence and risk management advisory services, and security technologies. Because security must be addressed on several levels, the most productive approach requires the kind of broad expertise found with the Company’s security professionals. The Company’s team can determine the likelihood of a particular threat, prioritize action plans, recommend appropriate security measures, and implement solutions when necessary.

SECURITY AND PROTECTION SERVICES

Physical Security Services

Physical security includes security measures that are designed to deny unauthorized access to facilities, equipment and resources, and to protect personnel and property from damage or harm (such as espionage, theft, or terrorist attacks). Physical security involves the use of multiple layers of interdependent systems which include CCTV surveillance, security guards, protective barriers, locks, access control protocols and many other techniques.

The Company has retained security professionals with various skill levels, from basic security guards (agents and managers) to advanced professionals with backgrounds in military Special Forces. The Company currently provides security agents and security managers for onsite security-related services to hotels and resorts in Miami Beach, FL, as well as for special events and VIPs / celebrities. Its security operations maintains a staff of approximately forty-five (45) employees, including over forty (40) fully licensed security personnel, of which thirty (30) are full-time and ten (10) are part-time. The Company also has a team of experienced security professionals.

Security Agents

The Company’s Miami-based security operations, Enigma-Bulwark Security, Inc., provides both armed and unarmed Security Agents (“Agents”) to its hotel/resort clients to ensure the premises are a safe and secure space for colleagues, clients, and staff. The duties involve controlling who enters and exits the building, inspecting existing CCTV footage for unusual activity, and detaining trespassers until the police arrive. This is typically a shift-based job, and overnight and weekend hours are common. Training is usually carried out on the job, but people in this role often need first aid knowledge and some basic self-defense skills. Candidates for this job should be in good physical health and have the stamina to work long shifts of standing and walking. They should also have keen observational skills and the ability to work independently for extended periods of time.

Skills and Qualifications

The Company requires all of its Agents to be licensed. In the state of Florida, where the Company’s primary security guard operations are located, the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS) licenses and regulates the private security industry. All Agents must be licensed as follows:

·Security Agent-Unarmed	Class “D” License
·Security Agent-Armed	Class “G” License
·Manager of a Security Business	Class “M” or “MB” License.

The Company also requires Agents to have a calm disposition, the ability to act quickly and efficiently in stressful situations, and possess keen observation skills to spot anything that may pose a threat. The Company employs Agents with the following abilities:

·Communication skills – Communicate clearly and calmly in all situations, making points heard without losing temper or professional manner.

Executive Protection / Journey Management

Executives face threats that vary widely depending on the industry, size of the company, geopolitical locations, and the individual’s profile. The Company’s aim is to establish and maintain a safe working and living environment for its clients while continually minimizing risk. The Company achieves this by providing executive protection operatives to support its clients on a global basis.

The Company’s expert security consultants and advisors will accompany high-net-worth senior executives, private individuals and their families to the most challenging environments. The Company’s on-the-ground knowledge of risky locales, together with its expansive intelligence networks and proven methodologies means that the services recommended and provided by the Company are specially calibrated to the unique risks its clients face. The Company’s executive protection services enable clients to carry out their business with confidence and peace of mind.

In addition to discreet close protection, Enigma’s teams offer advice, liaison and coordination. The Company delivers comprehensive security from the moment a traveler arrives in country until their return flight is safely in the air. The Company’s executive protection officers are formally trained and licensed to Security Industry Authority (SIA) standards or country equivalent. Their backgrounds are typically within the military, law enforcement or Special Forces. Both male and female officers can be deployed rapidly worldwide. The Company’s officers are widely experienced in providing a discreet, efficient protection service, subject to visas and introduction letters if necessary.

Maritime Security Services

Clients can commission customized threat assessments and security plans on marine facilities and operations to assist with planning, training, and implementing all aspects of maritime security and crisis management. Depending on a client’s needs, the Company can assess and advise on risk mitigation for specific routes and areas, vessel security plans, counter-piracy support, regulatory compliance and supply chain assessment.

The Company has the skills and qualifications to consult on counter-piracy security design and vessel hardening, depending on the risks faced. The Company regularly undertakes vessel security reviews and audits to ensure compliance with BMP standards.

The Company also has experience in the security design of ports, warehouses and offshore maritime operations to reinforce key assets. The Company can provide specialized security teams and consultants who can coordinate a host nation’s security personnel for complex, offshore security projects.

In-Sourcing

Many clients worldwide seek support to manage security-related projects on a temporary or permanent basis. Companies often lack the in-house capability to satisfy all security requirements. Enigma can fill this shortfall by deploying embedded consultants for a specific task, and passing on sector-specific knowledge that clients may not possess in-house. These consultants provide professional advice, tailoring strategies and tactics based on the Company’s intimate understanding of the Company’s clients’ operating environments.

Out-Sourcing

Enigma is well positioned to provide a global solution for corporations that require occasional support or longer-term solutions in several areas:

·Close protection details

·Armed protection teams in high-risk environments

·Security awareness training

·Intrusion testing

·Technical surveillance countermeasures

·Major event security

The Company’s experienced professionals can provide security and peace of mind for those traveling in hostile, unfamiliar environments. By providing specialty security services, the Company can help to keep clients’ most valuable assets safe and secure.

Project Management in Hostile Environments

The Company’s team Project Managers (“PMs”) have spent years in their respective fields, deployed primarily in hostile areas such as the Middle East and West Africa. PMs will handle projects from inception to execution stage, and approach each project as a unique opportunity. To fulfill a client’s requirements, PMs will harness on industry best practices and personal experience, augmenting a client’s needs by satisfying the following project requirements:

·Initiate a project in a very hostile environment with seemingly no budgets and resources.

·Prioritize problems and focus slender resources on the most critical tasks.

·Carefully organize individuals into groups that can work on specific activities based on their skill sets and create a unified high performance project team.

·Enable in-built agility to survive interruptions and attempts to shut it down.

·Utilize knowledge areas (integration, scope, time, cost, quality, human resource, communications, risk, procurement) to intuitively initiate, plan and execute project.

Security System Audits

Security measures are of little use if they are not enforced. A security audit assesses how effectively an organization’s security policies are being implemented. The Company can perform audits that will show a client where gaps and vulnerabilities might exist in their current systems and procedures.

Over these years, the Company’s experienced team of security specialists have seen countless reasons for non-compliance with existing security procedures. Some protocols may be bypassed for the sake of convenience, or a perception of increased productivity. Other times, there is a resistance to change, or merely forgetfulness or carelessness. Multinational companies and those with multiple facilities can find it especially challenging to institute system-wide compliance with security procedures.

With the Company’s anticipated global footprint, it will have the resources to not only uncover where weaknesses and security gaps exist throughout an organization, but also what issues are driving non-compliance. The Company can then help establish a balanced and effective security risk management program that a client can be comfortable and confident with. This exercise can be especially beneficial after an acquisition for standardizing policies and procedures.

The Company’s security audits can also play an important role in internal investigations when anomalies are discovered, or wrongdoing is suspected. The Company’s findings can be used for not only potential litigation/legal proceedings, but also to strengthen an organization’s internal controls to mitigate future problems.

Security and Emergency Programs

An effective security program must cover many scenarios and clearly define the duties and expectations for everyone in an organization – from the security department to management and employees, as well as third parties like local emergency responders and business continuity partners. By taking a multidisciplinary approach, the Company can review current security policies to ensure they cover current risks and vulnerabilities, and offer the best way to handle security and surveillance systems.

The Company can develop security policies tailored to the exact risks a client or organization faces – all within the framework of laws and regulations of each country in which it operates. Depending on specific needs, the Company can assist with either comprehensive security programs or individual components, such as access control, workplace violence prevention, or executive protection.

Security Equipment Sourcing

The Company can recommend and help individuals and organizations source any needed security equipment. The Company has industry partners both within and outside its countries of operation with whom it can collaborate with for security equipment sourcing services.

Fraud Prevention and Ethics Programs

Regardless of size, all organizations are vulnerable to workplace fraud. Fraud can take many forms—including embezzlement, forgery, theft of inventory and other assets, and computer crime—and can continue unchecked for years. The financial impact can be devastating.

Although the Company believes preventing fraud is a good starting point for companies that want to improve or review their loss prevention strategies, it is not a substitute for expert advice. The Company encourages clients to seek appropriate professional advice for any specific issues that may arise when designing, implementing or reviewing loss prevention strategies.

RISK MANAGEMENT ADVISORY SERVICES

Since all threats are dynamic, the intelligence cycle never truly ends, and new or evolving threats must continually be identified and investigated. As criminal trends and geopolitical developments continue to pose physical security threats to organizations in a wide range of sectors, the intelligence cycle reinforces the critical, yet often overlooked, importance of context and subject matter expertise in addressing these challenges. The convergence of the digital and physical world is increasingly being tested to manage a diverse range of incidents ranging from extreme weather, malicious cyber-attacks, terrorist attacks, facility invasions, theft, vandalism, and many additional applications. Enigma uses a holistic approach to address all aspects of a client’s security and operational risks for the most effective protection. Diverse skill sets and global resource relationships enable the Company’s experts to manage projects from inception to completion. From securing counterfeit goods along the supply chain, to running drills to perfect executive protection in unstable locations, the Company’s prompt response capabilities will deliver quality services across the entire security risk management continuum.

Because security risks are interconnected and ever-evolving, the Company can provide up-to-date advice on a wide range of security services to effectively manage risks. In addition, the Company can identify physical security weaknesses, focus on defined threats that could compromise a company’s ability to provide adequate services to its clients, and provide a roadmap for remediating security vulnerabilities.

Corporate and Industrial

Bomb threats, workplace violence, stalkers, corporate espionage, supply chain disruption, and extortion. These dangers and more can arise without warning. The Company has the resources and expertise to analyze risks, identify suspects, develop intervention strategies, mitigate threats, and ultimately help you manage and resolve a wide variety of corporate and private client corporate security issues.

Risk, Threat Assessments and Defensive Strategy Development

Comprehensive threat and vulnerability assessments are essential to securing an organization. The security risk assessment process can help to identify all critical assets, assess the likelihood of known threats, evaluate existing countermeasures, and develop a prioritized plan to reduce risk. Through the Company’s multidisciplinary approach, security is measured from every angle to mitigate risks – from the physical environment to the human element, and the role of technology.

Effective security starts with a clear understanding of vulnerabilities. The Company can help gauge strengths and weaknesses in a wide variety of scenarios, and help anticipate potential sources of new threats. The Company’s vulnerability assessment methodology begins with an in-depth security review. No matter the focus of the assessment, the Company applies a time-tested methodology where:

·current areas of exposure and any past security incidents are reviewed in order to identify potential vulnerabilities.

·employees and other key individuals are interviewed for critical insights and information about situations, policies, and procedures.

·a gap analysis is prepared to isolate areas where security protocols do not meet industry best practices.

·recommendations are made and measures are implemented to mitigate any areas of vulnerability.

Security Awareness and Training Activities

Companies are realizing that an ethical and fiduciary responsibility exists to protect employees, customers, and others from physical harm. Demonstrating a commitment to security and the employee experience also reduces costs, maintains employee morale and retention, and improves customer perception.

All employers have both an ethical and legal duty of care towards their employees. The Company offers a wide range of training solutions that can assist employers in fulfilling this duty by preparing their staff for possible security issues, especially while travelling to or working in unfamiliar, medium or high-risk countries.

Training is tailored to reflect each employers countries and areas of travel, and provides insights into potential threats and risks as well as operating procedures in the country. The training courses are taught by highly qualified and experienced instructors, and offer a wide range of training modules, such as working with private security details, defensive and evasive driving skills, basic medical skills, and surveillance awareness. Wherever possible, courses are blended with interactive lectures, discussion exercises and scenarios, as well as realistic practical training to test key learning points. Courses last from two to five days and content is enhanced by up-to-date country-specific briefings from the Company’s analyst team. An example of the courses offered are:

·Hostile environment and security awareness training

·Security management and consultancy

·Contractors on deployed operations training

·Defensive and offensive driver training (Tony Scotti Vehicle Dynamic Institute, South Africa).

International Intelligence and Threat Reports

Threat assessments by country provide in-depth information on both peaceful and the most troubled regions of the world. Country assessments include firsthand knowledge of in-country customs, environment, infrastructure, and a variety of circumstances encountered, with an emphasis on safety. Country threat assessments are compiled by a network of the Company’s on-the-ground, in-country experts with hands-on experience and knowledge of local conditions. The Company’s country threat assessments meet the necessary criteria mandates on corporate due diligence for overseas travel, which should not be compromised.

Mobile Apps in Physical Security Sector

Technology helps support security, safety, and emergency management programs at every level of society. Safety and security risks are virtually everywhere, including office, school, social events, retail establishments and hospitals. However, security professionals tasked with protecting the public can’t always be everywhere, so they require timely information to prevent potential incidents.

Security professionals are trained to know when a person, or group of people are acting suspicious. They see, hear, and learn things every day that could help prevent a safety or security incident from happening. In fact, many incidents have early-warning predicators that are observable and these incidents can help be prevented with the right technology tools and techniques.

While well-trained security professionals will always remain the steadfast foundation of security programs, advancements in technology that are accessing easy-to-use apps can enhance their ability to gather intelligence and protect the facility. Blending personnel and technology can create solution efficiencies, target security efforts, and give security directors the power to make informed decisions that deliver even greater return on their security investment.

Mass Notification Capabilities

For vital, time-sensitive messages, security professionals rely on mass notification apps to allow them to communicate real-time with any number of people using a text alert, voice message, or email message with digital signage and other customized channels so that the message can be shared instantly.

Mass notification alerts are also used to protect people from any number of hazards and emergencies, such as a flash flood warning for people traveling near a suddenly dangerous roadway, or a wildfire alert where flames could be creeping dangerously close to a road or housing community. These mass notification apps go beyond two-way communication to provide a full critical communications cycle that initiates an organization’s emergency response plan’s predefined crisis communication plan.

Security professionals and administrators can send notifications to thousands of people within seconds. They can initiate requests for help, reply to messages and actively monitor the well-being of their clients from a front-line perspective.

Integrating Safer into a mass notification Mobile App network affords centralized reverse real-time situational analysis that will allow professional to get out their messages and conversely be able to geo locate and identify persons in an area of interest and communicate the need to have the individual capture real-time video of their surroundings

EnigmaTrak

Security, Tracking Monitoring, and Remote Asset Management Systems

The Company licensed in perpetuity a patented container locking technology from PearLoxx Ltd., a United Kingdom company. The secure locking technology, branded EnigmaLok, has a built-in GPS tracking system that enables a shipping container to be both sealed securely and tracked using the same device. The EnigmaLok unit can be fitted in less than a minute with no drilling.

As part of Enigma’s globally integrated security, monitoring, and remote asset management system, the Company has developed EnigmaTrak, a security system that includes a market-leading battery life enhancement that will provide end-to-end real-time intermodal container and rail car cargo transport access, and intrusion tracking using its proprietary container security tracking technologies. The EnigmaTrak security system includes the following components:

·EnigmaLok: Secure locking technology comprised of a patented steel container lock.

·EnigmaCode: Proprietary remote communication platform that allows remote access and control of the locking and unlocking of the EnigmaLok.

·EnigmaTracker: GPS tracking and monitoring component.

Key components of EnigmaTrak:

·Electronically operated secure locking system using patented design.

·Tamper and drill resistant design.

·Local 5-digit code emergency access, and emergency power options.

·GPS global tracking with GSM 2G/3G communication.

·Automatic notification of lock operation and unlocking/locking events.

·Sensors of movement, unit internal temperature, and low battery alarm options.

·Local user one-touch re-locking.

·Can be removed and refitted in less than 1 minute.

·Up to 10-year operating life from primary battery pack (subject to frequency of report).

Tracking Process

While the EnigmaTracker Asset Tracking Unit (“ATU”) is in operation, geographical and operational data is periodically monitored and recorded within the unit’s memory. At predetermined intervals, or upon an alert condition occurring, the ATU will transmit data to the EnigmaTrak cloud servers, normally via GSM 4G and 5G mobile phone network using General Packet Radio Service (“GPRS”) or Short Message Service (“SMS”).

All data received from the ATU is securely held within the EnigmaTrak cloud servers, and is accessible through the EnigmaTrak web portal using a standard internet connection and web browser application, providing maximum flexibility and ease of use, with minimal IT services and equipment.

The EnigmaTrak web portal provides access to secure cloud data, system functions, ATU configurations, asset locations (individually or by groups), alert method configuration, asset history, reports and data export, and much more.

Figure 1. EnigmaTrak Platform Configuration

Data Transmission and Connectivity

Data is normally sent via the GSM 4G and 5G network. In areas with no or limited GSM infrastructure, the EnigmaTracker can rely on satellite communications and hybrid GSM / Satellite systems to ensure the tracking units are able to communicate with back-office systems. In an event where GSM signals are not available, the GPS satellites send radio signals from their orbit in space, the GPS receivers then use the signals to calculate the position of the EnigmaTracker to within 10 meters, almost anywhere on the planet.

To maximize battery life and minimize communication costs, the EnigmaTracker can store several positions and send them in a single report; otherwise, clients can customize the communication interval of their assets depending on their needs.

EnigmaLok: Patented Container Locking System

The EnigmaLok locking system integrates elements from the Sweloxx patents physical container locking system, with proprietary electronic control and deadlock system. The system provides an electronically operated security lock for shipping containers. The locking unit can be fitted in less than a minute with no drilling, which provides significant value to the Company’s proposition.

An increase in technological advancements in IoT, “Big Data”, cloud-based services, and an overall demand for VsaaS services, as well as advances in artificial intelligence and deep learning for video security systems are expanding the opportunities in the video surveillance market.

The Company anticipates three key distribution markets for the Safer technology:

·Law enforcement/Fire Disaster Relief

With the adoption of the Safer Mobile App by the public, Safer would allow individuals who witness a crime in progress, a terrorist attack or a natural disaster, such as a flood or fire, to turn on the Safer Mobile App and be connected to law enforcement or the fire department and provide them with live, real-time video of the incident. Having this type of live captured events in real time will afford law enforcement/disaster response to make decisions on the situation as though they were at the location being videoed.

·Private Industry

With the usage of the Safer Mobile App by a business’s security guards, Safer would allow a centralized command-and-control center to pull up live video from the Safer Mobile App. In this scenario, security guards will have a concealed video camera integrated into their uniform, that will be activated by the guard, or remotely from command-and-control center. The camera will connect to the security guard’s mobile phone via Bluetooth® and capture events in real-time. The advantage of this system is that it will allow a senior person to analyze and assess a situation with more competency than a patrol security guard that does not have a background in situational analysis and assessment of dynamic environmental risk.

The Company is currently testing concealed video cameras integrated into a security guards’ uniform in their caps, lapel pins and badges.

·Government Agencies

The Company defines its government agencies to include schools, hospitals, etc. Safety and security risks are everywhere, including the office, schools, concerts, retail malls and hospitals. However, security professionals tasked with protecting the public are not always available on-site, and require timely information to prevent potential incidents.

Physical Security Market Challenges

The major hindrance in the growth of physical security market is privacy. With the increasing adoption of video surveillance, concerns have been raised as to the misuse of video and privacy violations. Various civil liberties groups and activists are opposed to video surveillance. It has been suggested that organizations take necessary steps to lower the impact of video surveillance systems on the privacy of people, by issuing guidelines such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). With the introduction of GDPR in Europe, any public or private organization using CCTV to monitor public accessible areas must adhere to the regulatory requirements.

Unlawful surveillance continues to be a major concern in the United States, and the federal government and most states have enacted legislation that criminalizes recording communications without obtaining consent from either one or all of the parties, depending on statute. A number of states, including California, Massachusetts, New York, and Illinois have enacted discrete laws pertaining to surveillance, including location tracking, drone photography, and even smart TV “snooping” features. ¹⁸

Security Guard Industry Challenges

One of the largest challenges of the security guard industry is hiring qualified security guards and back-office staff who understand how to use technology effectively. While not all companies are in a position to hire new workers, technology training is essential for ultimate success and competitive edge. The use of real time activity feeds, live metrics, tracking devices, and other technological advances will spread quickly through the security guard industry. Companies that implement it properly will thrive, while those who are unprepared for the changes technology brings – or simply refuse to implement it – will struggle.

¹⁷ https://www.marketsandmarkets.com/Market-Reports/physical-security-market-1014.html

¹⁸ https://iclg.com/practice-areas/data-protection-laws-and-regulations/usa

By implementing high-quality technology and offering training and learning resources to their employees, companies can make the transition go more smoothly so that their team is better able to adapt to the new system and deliver better results.

An increased demand for security guard companies also means that more companies will need to look for new workers as they expand their business. Finding the best employees is a challenge, especially in an environment where workers are in high demand. Although expanding companies should not delay the process of increasing staff, the should also thoroughly vet potential employees before adding them to a security guard team.

Video Security Challenges ¹⁹

Despite the high growth rate of the video security market, there are significant challenges, including price erosion, cyber-security attacks on video surveillance equipment, component shortages and increased barriers to international trade to some countries. Increased tariffs and the banning of large vendors in the international market have contributed to the market barriers. In fact, the US government banned the use of products from two of the largest global manufacturers, Hikvision and Dahua.

Other challenges facing the video security market include the need for a skilled workforce, and concerns about privacy.

Shipping Container Industry Challenges

There are several key challenges facing the cargo shipping market. It is expected that over 860 million shipping containers will be transported throughout the globe in 2021²⁰, transporting raw materials and manufactured goods across the continents. The overwhelming amount of shipping containers has resulted in a more complex and less transparent supply chain network, leading to:

·Increased dwell-time of containers at each location.

·Increased labor-costs and human interventions.

·Increased risks for delay, damage, spoilage and theft.

Cargo thefts is a global issue. Unmonitored containers maybe be subjected to hostile human interventions throughout the shipping process. In the United States alone, there were an estimated 870 cargo thefts in 2020 worth over $145 billion, representing an increase in volume of 23%, and an increase in value of 41%, from 2019, and the highest increases since 2015. A significant cause of the 2020 increases was the COVID pandemic, accounting for an estimated 43% of total thefts. ²¹ These stolen goods are then resold back to the market or used for counterfeiting and other purposes, resulting in:

·Increased financial loss

·Increased insurance rate

·Increased risk for of damages to brand-image

·Increased risk of market disturbance

Despite the heavy ﬂow of containers ﬂooding into ports every day, only 3% of these containers are physically inspected before entering the country ²². Since 9/11, concerns have been raised that terrorists can potentially take advantage of the ﬂaws in supply chains, utilizing unmonitored containers against national interests. In addition to suspecting the threat of a weapon of mass destruction arriving in a shipping container at a port, many also suspect that the money generated by organized cargo theft is being funneled back to fund terrorists activities, causing:

·Increased risks of terrorists smuggling mass destruction weapons and illegal dangerous goods

·Increased risk of bombs threatening the port security

·Increased the vulnerability of national security

GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS

The Company’s operations will be subject to various federal, state and local laws, regulations, and controls. The Company believes it is in compliance with any such regulations affecting its business.

While the United States has no plenary data protection regulator, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) authority is very broad, and often sets the tone on federal privacy and data security issues. In addition, a variety of other agencies regulate data protection through sectoral laws, including the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Department of Health and Human Services, the Federal Communications Commission, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, and the Department of Commerce.

²⁵ https://www.marketsandmarkets.com/Market-Reports/smart-container-market-194648249.html

Federal Trade Commission Act ²⁶

The Federal Trade Commission Act (15 U.S Code §41 et seq.) broadly empowers the FTC to bring enforcement actions to protect consumers against unfair or deceptive practices and to enforce federal privacy and data protection regulations. The FTC has taken the position that “deceptive practices” include a company’s failure to comply with its published privacy promises and its failure to provide adequate security of personal information, in addition to its use of deceptive advertising or marketing methods.

General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

The increasing adoption of video surveillance has come with some opposition with regards to personal privacy rights. To address these concerns, the European Union (EU) and the European Economic Area (EEA) adopted the General Data Protection Regulation on April 27, 2016 (formerly Data Protection Directive 95/46/EC), “on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data…” The regulation became enforceable on May 25, 2018, and contains provisions and requirements related to the processing of personal data of individuals (formally called data subjects in the GDPR) who are located in the EEA, and applies to any enterprise—regardless of its location and the data subjects’ citizenship or residence—that is processing the personal information of individuals inside the EEA. It has been suggested that U.S. organizations and individuals with video surveillance services issue similar guidelines. In fact, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), adopted on June 28, 2918, has many similarities with the GDPR. However, there is no single principal data protection legislation in the United States. Rather, various laws enacted at both federal and state levels serve to protect the personal data of U.S. residents.

Security and Accountability For Every (SAFE) Port Act of 2006

The SAFE Port Act of 2006 was an Act of Congress in the United States covering port security. The bill calls for, among other thing, 100% of U.S.-bound Ocean containers to be scanned at the foreign port of origin. The bill was enacted and signed by former President George W. Bush on Oct 13, 2006. The bill became the law numbered Public Law 109-347. The DHS delayed the implementation of key sections of the SAFE Port Act of 2006 until 2016.

Container Security Initiative

The Container Security Initiative (the “CSI”) was launched in 2002 by the U.S. Bureau of Customs and Border Protection (“CBP”), an agency of the DHS. Its purpose was to increase security for container cargo shipped to the United States. The CSI allows Customs and Border protection (CBP”), working along with host government Customs Services, to examine high-risk maritime containerized cargo at foreign seaports, prior to being loaded on board vessels destined for the United States.

The CSI consists of four core elements:

·Using intelligence and automated information, identify and target containers that pose a risk for terrorism.

·Pre-screen containers that pose a risk at the port of departure before they arrive at U.S. ports.

·Using detection technology, such as gamma ray detectors, quickly pre-screen containers that pose a risk.

·Use smarter, tamper-evident containers.

The initial CSI program has focused on implementation at the top 20 ports that ship approximately two-thirds of the container volume to the United States. CSI is now operational at ports in North America, Europe, Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Latin and Central America. CBP’s 58 operational CSI ports now prescreen over 80 percent of all maritime containerized cargo imported into the United States. Smaller ports have been added to the program at their instigation, and participation is open to any port meeting certain volume, equipment, procedural, and information-sharing requirements. Future plans include expansion to additional ports based on volume, location, and strategic concerns.

MANUFACTURING

In addition to system integration of third-party technologies for its security service offerings, the Company will identify third-party manufacturers to outsource the manufacturing for its hardware (EnigmaLok), and software (Safer Systems) products and technologies.

The Company will internally develop prototypes of its proprietary technology, and test features at prototype levels through the retention of independent contractors.

The Company’s Common Stock is subject to rules adopted by the Commission regulating broker dealer practices in connection with transactions in “penny stocks.” Those disclosure rules applicable to “penny stocks” require a broker dealer, prior to a transaction in a “penny stock” not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized list disclosure document prepared by the Securities and Exchange Commission. That disclosure document advises an investor that investment in “penny stocks” can be very risky and that the investor’s salesperson or broker is not an impartial advisor but rather paid to sell the shares. The disclosure contains further warnings for the investor to exercise caution in connection with an investment in “penny stocks,” to independently investigate the security, as well as the salesperson with whom the investor is working and to understand the risky nature of an investment in this security. The broker dealer must also provide the customer with certain other information and must make a special written determination that the “penny stock” is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. Further, the rules require that, following the proposed transaction, the broker provide the customer with monthly account statements containing market information about the prices of the securities.

In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by terminology such as “may”, “should”, “expects”, “plans”, “anticipates”, “believes”, “estimates”, “predicts”, “potential” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the Company’s or the Company’s industry’s actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, the Company cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, the Company does not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.

The Company’s consolidated audited financial statements are stated in United States Dollars and are prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated audited financial statements and the related notes for the years ended December 31, ~~2017~~2018 and ~~2016~~2017, that appear elsewhere in this Annual Report.

As used in this Annual Report, the terms “we”, “us”, “our,” “the Company” and “Enigma” mean Enigma-Bulwark, Ltd., and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Enigma-Bulwark Risk Management, Inc., PearTrack Systems Group, Ltd., Ecologic Car Rentals, Inc. and Ecologic Products, Inc., unless otherwise indicated.

Corporate History

The Company was incorporated in Nevada on September 30, 2005, and is a headquartered in Los Angeles, California. Formerly PearTrack Security Systems, Inc., the Company’s name was changed to Enigma-Bulwark, Ltd., on October 9, 2019, pursuant to a majority of the Company’s shareholders and unanimous resolution of the board of directors.

The Company is a security and risk management company that provides physical security, technology-systems integration, and risk management advisory services. Services offered to assess and mitigate risk include security guards, risk management analysis, and proprietary and third-party technology and software. Target markets include corporations, governments and individuals across the globe.

During 2016 through 2018, the Company sought financing for the finalization of the PearLoxx container locking and tracking prototype. In addition, strategic acquisitions were pursued to expand the Company’s intellectual property portfolio.

Due to the Company’s inability to successfully commercialize the PearTrack IP tracking platform acquired in 2013, all rights, title and interest in the PearTrack IP reverted to the former licensees on December 31, 2018, and, pursuant to the terms of the ~~collateralized~~Security ~~agreement~~Agreement, the related Note issued to the licensors (the “Note Holders”) was canceled. In addition, all rights to future royalties collectible under any sub-license previously issued by the Company for the PearTrack IP reverted to the Note Holders. As a result, in 2018, the Company recognized a gain on the extinguishment of debt of $2,000,000.

Although the PearTrack IP commercialization was unsuccessful, the Company continued to focus on security and risk management, and acquired intellectual property that is based on a patent-pending ²⁸ interactive spontaneous video security technology (the “Safer IP”). On October 11, 2018, the Company executed an Intellectual Property Purchase Agreement (the “Safer Agreement”) with Safer, Inc., a Florida corporation (the “Seller”), for the acquisition of the Safer IP. Pursuant to the Safer Agreement, in exchange for all rights, title and interest in the Safer IP, among other things, the Company delivered to Seller:

1.Common Stock Purchase Agreement providing for the Seller the right to purchase 3,500,000 shares of the Company’s restricted Common Stock at a price of $0.001 per share, for $3,500 cash; and

3.Royalty Agreement providing for a royalty of 1.5% of the Adjusted Gross Revenue generated by the Company in connection with the Safer IP.

²⁸ On July 21, 2021, the Company received a Notice of Allowance from the United States Patent and Trademark Office that its Patent Application 16/618,038 “Network Based Video Surveillance and Logistics for Multiple Users” was granted and would be issued to the Company. For additional information on the patent application, see “Intellectual Property”

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

During the year ended December 31, ~~2017~~2018 and ~~2016~~2017, the Company ~~used~~was provided with no cash flow ~~for~~from investing activities.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

During the year ended December 31, ~~2017~~2018 and ~~2016~~2017, the Company was provided with no cash flow from financing activities.

As of December 31, ~~2017~~2018, affiliates and related parties are due a total of $53,~~153~~970,~~502~~966, which is comprised of promissory notes to related parties, ~~net of unamortized discounts of $81,469,~~ in the amount of $43,~~482~~172,~~805~~705, accrued compensation in the amount of $~~517~~645,~~991~~555, and reimbursed expenses/cash advances to the Company in the amount of $152,706; for a net ~~increase~~decrease of $~~672~~1,~~262~~182,536. During the year ended December 31, ~~2017~~2018, promissory notes to related parties, net of unamortized discounts, ~~increased~~decreased by $~~501~~1,~~505~~310, ~~accrued compensation increased by $161~~100,~~156,~~ and ~~reimbursable~~accrued ~~expenses/cash~~compensation ~~advances~~ increased by $9127,~~601~~564. All outstanding related party promissory notes bear interest at a rate of 5 to 7 percent per annum, are due and payable between one (1) year of written demand and by December 31, 2023, or upon certain equity funding, and are convertible into the Company’s Common Stock at a price of between $0.05 and $0.25 per share.

The Company’s principal sources of funds have been from sales of the Company’s Common Stock and loans from related parties.

Future Financings

The Company has suffered recurring losses from operations. The continuation of the Company’s operations is dependent upon the Company’s attaining and maintaining profitable operations and raising additional capital as needed. The Company anticipates that it will have to raise additional funds through private placements of the Company’s equity securities and/or debt financing to complete its business plan.

The Company will require additional financing in the amount of approximately $5,000,000 in order to enable the Company to proceed with the Company’s plan of operations, as discussed above, including an estimated $2,000,000 over the next 12 months, to pay for the Company’s current and ongoing expenses and product development. These cash requirements include working capital, selling, general and administrative expenses, expansion of the Company’s product line, and the pursuit of acquisitions. These cash requirements are in excess of the Company’s current cash and working capital resources. Accordingly, the Company will require additional financing in order to continue operations and to repay the Company’s liabilities. There is no assurance that any party will advance additional funds to the Company in order to enable the Company to sustain its plan of operations or to repay the Company’s liabilities. There is no assurance that the financing will be completed as planned or at all. If the Company is unable to secure adequate capital to continue the Company’s planned operations, the Company’s shareholders may lose some or all of their investment and the Company’s business may fail.

The Company anticipates continuing to rely on equity sales of the Company’s Common Stock to fund the Company’s business operations and product development. Issuances of additional shares will result in dilution to the Company’s existing stockholders. There is no assurance that the Company will achieve any additional sales of its equity securities or arrange for debt or other financing to fund the Company’s planned business activities.

Personnel

The majority of personnel working with the Company are engaged as consultants under consulting agreements.

As of December 31, ~~2017~~2018, the Company engaged six (6) individuals, inclusive of two (2) and executive officers and directors. All personnel were full-time.

As of the date of filing of this Annual Report, the Company engages five (5) individuals, inclusive of three (3) executive officers and directors. All five (5) personnel are full-time. In addition, the Company’s security operations, Enigma-Bulwark Security, Inc., maintains a staff of approximately forty-five (45) employees, of which thirty-five (35) are full-time and ten (10) are part-time.

Contractual Obligations

The Company is a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and is not required to provide the information under this item.

Going Concern

The Company has incurred losses since inception resulting in ~~a current year net loss of $1,008,234,~~ an accumulated deficit of $1817,~~511~~418,~~900~~034, and a working capital deficit of $3,~~447~~889,~~164~~597, and further losses are anticipated in the development of its business. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate profitable operations in the future and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due, which may not be available at commercially reasonable terms There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to continue to raise funds, in which case the Company may be unable to meet its obligations and the Company may cease operations. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The consolidated audited financial statements included with this Annual Report have been prepared on the going concern basis which assumes that adequate sources of financing will be obtained as required and that the Company’s assets will be realized and liabilities settled in the ordinary course of business. Accordingly, the consolidated audited financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability of assets and classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on the Company’s financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to stockholders.

Critical Accounting Policies

The discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations are based upon the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Preparing consolidated 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. The Company believes that understanding the basis and nature of the estimates and assumptions involved with the following aspects of the Company’s consolidated financial statements is critical to an understanding of its consolidated financial statements. The following should be read in conjunction with Note 2 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies”:

Impairment reviews

Management is required to perform tests annually, or more often if necessary, for impairment of its finite lived and indefinite lived assets, to determine if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.

Impairment testing is an area involving management judgement, requiring assessment as to whether the carrying value of assets can be supported by the net present value of future cash flows derived from such assets using cash flow projections which have been discounted at an appropriate rate. In calculating the net present value of the future cash flows, certain assumptions are required to be made in respect of highly uncertain matters, including management’s expectations of:

·growth in EBITDA, calculated as adjusted operating profit before depreciation and amortization;

·long term growth rates; and

·the selection of discount rates to reflect the risks involved.

The Company may prepare financial projections to use as the basis for its impairment reviews. Changing the assumptions selected by management, in particular the discount rate and growth rate assumptions used in the projections, could significantly affect the Company’s impairment evaluation and, hence, results.

The Company’s review for impairment may also include the evaluation of key assumptions related to sensitivity in the projections, including estimates for varying levels of growth, such as aggressive, median, and conservative. In the Company’s evaluation for impairment, the conservative level of growth would be utilized. For additional information, see Impairment of Long-Lived Assets under Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained within this Annual Report.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of Enigma-Bulwark, Ltd.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Enigma-Bulwark, Ltd. (the Company) as of December 31, ~~2017~~2018 and ~~2016~~2017, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for each of the two years ended in the period ended December 31, ~~2017~~2018, 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, ~~2017~~2018 and ~~2016~~2017, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, ~~2017~~2018 and ~~2016~~2017, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Explanatory Paragraph – Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has ahad previous net ~~loss~~losses ~~of $1,008,234 for the year ended December 31, 2017,~~ an accumulated deficit of $1817,~~511~~418,~~900~~034, and a working capital deficit of $3,~~447~~889,~~164,~~597 as of December 31, ~~2017~~2018 and further losses are anticipated. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are described in Note 1. The consolidated 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 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.

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2021. Margate, Florida June 78, 2023

On March 9, 2015,~~ the ~~Assignment~~Intellectual ~~and License Agreement was amended to~~Property, among other things, ~~include as part of~~ the ~~consideration for the Product, the right for PearLoxx to purchase 5,706,506 shares of the~~ Company’s ~~Common~~shall ~~Stock~~deliver ~~at $0.001 per share, valued at $1,711,952. The Company rebranded the PearLoxx product~~ to ~~EnigmaLok.~~Seller:

3.Royalty Agreement providing for a royalty of 1.5% of the Adjusted Gross Revenue generated by the Company in connection with the Intellectual Property.

As of December 31, 2018, the Company was structured with three wholly-owned subsidiaries: PearTrack Systems Group, Ltd. (“PTSG”), Ecologic Products, Inc. (“EPI”), and Ecologic Car Rentals, Inc. (“ECR”), all Nevada corporations. The Company’s current business activities are diversified into two specific markets: security and risk management, and remote/mobile asset tracking products.

The Company intends to provide a unique solution to security issues in the intermodal shipping container marketplace, with its patented container tracking and locking system, EnigmaLok (formerly PearLoxx), the rights of which were licensed to the Company in perpetuity in 2015.

Going Concern

The Company has incurred losses since inception resulting in ~~a current year net loss of $1,008,234,~~ an accumulated deficit of $1817,~~511~~418,~~900~~034, and a working capital deficit of $3,~~447~~889,~~164~~597, and further losses are anticipated. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to generate profitable operations in the future and/or to obtain the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due, which may not be available at commercially reasonable terms There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to continue to raise funds, in which case the Company may be unable to meet its obligations and the Company may cease operations. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods shown. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts of and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue as a going concern.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

This summary of significant accounting policies is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s consolidated financial statements. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles, generally accepted in the United States of America, and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.

The Company’s fiscal year end is December 31.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, PearTrack Systems Group, Ltd., Ecologic Products, Inc. and Ecologic Car Rentals, Inc. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, ~~2017~~2018 AND ~~2016~~2017

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the ~~consolidated~~ financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management routinely makes judgments and estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain. Estimates that are critical to the accompanying consolidated financial statements include the estimates related to asset impairments of long-lived assets and investments, classification of expenditures as either an asset or an expense, valuation of deferred tax assets, and the likelihood of loss contingencies. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Estimates and assumptions are revised periodically, and the effects of revisions are reflected in the consolidated financial statements in the period it is determined to be necessary. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Fair Value Hierarchy

The Company utilizes the three-level valuation hierarchy for the recognition and disclosure of fair value measurements. The categorization of assets and liabilities within this hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the measurement of fair value. The three levels of the hierarchy consist of the following:

Level 1: Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2: Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices in markets that are not active or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the instrument.

Level 3: Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable inputs based upon management’s best estimate of inputs market participants could use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date, including assumptions about risk.

The Company’s investment in securities are classified as Level 1 assets, and were valued using the quoted prices in the active market (Note 3).

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

As of December 31, ~~2017~~2018 and ~~2016~~2017, respectively, the carrying values of Company’s Level 1 financial instruments including cash and cash equivalents, investments in securities, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and short-term debt approximate fair value. The fair value of Level 3 instruments is calculated as the net present value of expected cash flows based on externally provided or obtained inputs. Certain Level 3 instruments may also be based on sales prices of similar assets. The Company’s fair value calculations take into consideration the credit risk of both the Company and its counterparties as of the date of valuation.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers cash in banks, deposits in transit, and highly-liquid debt instruments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents. As of December 31, ~~2017~~2018 and ~~2016~~2017, the Company had no cash equivalents.

Foreign Currency Translation

Items included in the financial statements of the Company’s subsidiary are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (‘the functional currency’). The consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. Dollars, which is the Company’s reporting currency.

The results and financial position of PearTrack Systems Group, Ltd., the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, has a functional currency different from the reporting currency, the British Pound, and is translated into the reporting currency as follows:

(i)assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that balance sheet;

(ii)income and expenses for each statement of operations are translated at average exchange rates on a monthly basis; and

(iii)all resulting exchange differences are recognized as a separate component of equity.

Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in the statement of operations as other comprehensive income. On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of the net investment in foreign entities are taken to stockholders’ equity. During the years ended December 31, ~~2017~~2018 and ~~2016~~2017, respectively, unrealized exchange differences of ($~~1,424)~~0 and $1,~~048~~424 were recognized. As of December 31, ~~2017~~2018 and ~~2016~~2017, unrealized exchange differences of $6,703 and $86,~~127~~703, respectively, have been accumulated.

Investments in Securities

Investments in securities are accounted for using the equity method if the investment provides the Company the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over an investee. Significant influence is generally deemed to exist if the Company has an ownership interest in the voting stock of the investee between 20% and 50%, although other factors, such as representation on the investee’s board of directors, are considered in determining whether the equity method is appropriate. All other equity investments, which consist of investments for which the Company does not possess the ability to exercise significant influence, are accounted for under the mark to market method. Under the mark to market method of accounting, investments are marked to market, with unrealized gains and losses being excluded from earnings and reflected as a component of other comprehensive income.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is carried at the cost of acquisition or construction and depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Costs associated with repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Costs associated with improvements which extend the life, increase the capacity or improve the efficiency of the Company’s property and equipment are capitalized and depreciated over the remaining life of the related asset. Gains and losses on dispositions of equipment are reflected in operations. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which are 5 to 7 years.

Intangible Assets

Product processes, patents and customer lists are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives between 4 to 20 years. Application development stage costs for significant internally developed software projects are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the useful life, between 2 to 5 years. Costs to extend and maintain patents and trademarks are charged directly to expense as incurred.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company evaluates long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their net book value may not be recoverable. When such factors and circumstances exist, the Company compares the projected undiscounted future cash flows associated with the related asset or group of assets over their estimated useful lives against their respective carrying amount. Impairment, if any, is based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value, based on market value when available, or discounted expected cash flows, of those assets and is recorded in the period in which the determination is made.

Due to the Company’s recurring losses and lack of revenue from its intellectual properties, its intellectual properties were evaluated for impairment, and it was determined that ~~its~~expected ~~intellectual~~future ~~property,~~cash ~~with~~flows awere ~~carrying~~sufficient ~~value~~for ofrecoverability ~~$3,340,027, was impaired. As a result, an impairment loss~~ of ~~$3,340,027 was recognized for~~ the ~~year~~assets ~~ended~~at December 31, ~~2016~~2018.

Convertible Debt

The Company recognizes the advantageous value of conversion rights attached to convertible debt. Such rights give the debt holder the ability to convert debt into Common Stock at a price per share that is less than the trading price to the public on the date of the debt. The beneficial value is calculated as the intrinsic value (the market price of the stock at the commitment date in excess of the conversion rate) of the beneficial conversion feature of the debt, and is recorded as a discount to the related debt and an addition to additional paid in capital. The discount is amortized over the remaining outstanding period of related debt using the straight-line method.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized only when the price is fixed or determinable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the service has been provided, and collectability is reasonably assured.

The Company has continuing revenue from limited customer contracts for its tracking units and system. In addition, the Company provides consulting services as an additional revenue source. As of December 31, ~~2017~~2018, the Company has not commenced its principal operations, generating limited test sales of its security product line.

Income Taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. These assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which the temporary differences are expected to reverse.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, ~~2017~~2018 AND ~~2016~~2017

Income Taxes

The Company has net operating loss carryforwards available to reduce future taxable income. Future tax benefits for these net operating loss carryforwards are recognized to the extent that realization of these benefits is considered more likely than not. To the extent that the Company will not realize a future tax benefit, a valuation allowance is established.

As of December 31, ~~2017~~2018, the Company has not yet filed its 2013 through ~~2016~~2017 annual corporate income tax returns, which were filed in April 2022. Due to the Company’s recurring losses, no corporate income taxes were due for these periods.

Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding. During the periods when anti-dilutive, Common Stock equivalents, if any, are not considered in the computation.

Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Other comprehensive income includes unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale, and unrealized gains and losses resulting from foreign exchange differences. During the years ended December 31, ~~2017~~2018 and ~~2016~~2017, other comprehensive losses of $~~117~~2,~~218~~412 and $1117,~~084,518~~218 have been recognized. As of December 31, ~~2017~~2018 and ~~2016~~2017, respectively, other comprehensive ~~income (~~losses) of ($~~534)~~2,946 and $~~116,684~~534 have been accumulated. The following represents the accumulated comprehensive income activity:

Balance, December 31, 2018	$	6,703		$	(9,649	)	$	(2,946	)

Stock Based Compensation

The Company records stock-based compensation using the fair value method. All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. Equity instruments issued to employees and the cost of the services received as consideration are measured and recognized based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company evaluates the pronouncements of various authoritative accounting organizations, primarily the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”), to determine the impact of new pronouncements on U.S. GAAP and the impact on the Company. The Company has recently adopted the following new accounting standards:

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation. The new guidance simplifies several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. The amendments in this standard are effective for the Company’s for annual ~~year~~periods and first fiscal quarter beginning on January 1, 2017, with early adoption permitted. .

In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing. ASU 2016-10 clarifies the accounting for licenses of intellectual property as well as the identification of distinct performance obligations in a contract.

CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

Effective November 16, 2015, the Board of the Company engaged Dave Banerjee, CPA (“Banerjee”) as its independent registered public accounting firm to audit the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2015.

(a)Dismissal of Independent Certifying Accountant

The Company’s former independent registered public accountant, Dave Banerjee, CPAs (“Banerjee”) retired in August 2020. The Company engaged Banerjee in November 2015 to perform the audit of the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015. Banerjee has not performed any services for the Company since May 17, 2016, the date on which Banerjee’s audit of the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015, was completed and Banerjee’s audit report was issued.

The report of Banerjee regarding the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, except that the audit report of Banerjee on the Company’s financial statements for fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, contained an explanatory paragraph which noted that there was substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

During the year ended December 31, 2015, and during the period from January 2016 to August 2020, the date of Banerjee’s retirement, (i) there were no disagreements with Banerjee on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Banerjee would have caused it to make reference to such disagreement in its reports; and (ii) there were no reportable events as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

The Company has provided Banerjee with a copy of the foregoing disclosures and requested that Banerjee furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether or not it agrees with the above statements. As of the date of the filing of this Annual Report, the Company has not received the aforementioned letter.

(b)Engagement of Independent Certifying Accountant

During each of the Company’s two most recent fiscal years and through the interim periods preceding the engagement of Assurance, the Company (a) has not engaged Assurance as either the principal accountant to audit the Company’s financial statements, or as an independent accountant to audit a significant subsidiary of the Company and on whom the principal accountant is expected to express reliance in its report; and (b) has not consulted with Assurance regarding (i) the application of accounting principles to a specific transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, and no written report or oral advice was provided to the Company by Assurance concluding there was an important factor to be considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to an accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement, as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K or a reportable event, as that term is described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

ITEM 9A.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Management’s Report on Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company’s reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s president, chief executive officer and chief financial officer to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, the Company’s management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and the Company’s management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. 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.

As of December 31, ~~2017~~2018, the end of the Company’s fiscal year covered by this report, and through December 31, 2022, the most recent fiscal year end immediately preceding the filing of this Annual Report, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s president, chief executive officer and chief financial officer of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, the Company’s president, chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report.

Table of Contents

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Responsibility, estimates, and judgments by management are required to assess the expected benefits and related costs of the Company’s control procedures. The objectives of internal control include providing management with reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that assets are safeguarded against loss from unauthorized use or disposition, and that transactions are executed in accordance with management’s authorization and recorded properly to permit the preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The Company’s management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, ~~2017~~2018, and through December 31, 2022, the most recent fiscal year end immediately preceding the filing of this Annual Report. In making this assessment, the Company’s management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. The Company’s management has concluded that, as of December 31, ~~2017~~2018, and through December 31, 2022, the most recent fiscal year end immediately preceding the filing of this Annual Report, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting is effective in providing reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with the Company generally accepted accounting principles. The Company’s management reviewed the results of their assessment with the Company’s board of directors.

This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this Annual Report.

Inherent limitations on effectiveness of controls

Internal control over financial reporting has inherent limitations which include but is not limited to the use of independent professionals for advice and guidance, interpretation of existing and/or changing rules and principles, segregation of management duties, scale of organization, and personnel factors. Internal control over financial reporting is a process which involves human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human failures. Internal control over financial reporting also can be circumvented by collusion or improper management override. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis, however these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process and it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. 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.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the year ended December 31, ~~2017~~2018, and through December 31, 2022, the most recent fiscal year end immediately preceding the filing of this Annual Report, that have materially or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.

Director Independence

For purposes of determining director independence, the Company have applied the definitions set out in NASDAQ Rule 5605(a)(2). The OTC Pink on which shares of Common Stock are quoted does not have any director independence requirements. The NASDAQ definition of “Independent Officer” means a person other than an Executive Officer or employee of the Company or any other individual having a relationship which, in the opinion of the Company's board of directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director.

As of December 31, ~~2017~~2018, the Company acted with six directors, consisting of Mr. John L. Ogden, Mr. E. William Withrow, Jr., Mr. William B. Nesbitt, Dr. Martin A. Blake, Mr. Philip J. Woolas, and Mr. John D. Macey. The Company determined that Mr. John L. Ogden, Mr. William B. Nesbitt, Dr. Martin A. Blake, and Mr. Philip J. Woolas were “independent director(s)” as defined in NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 4200(a)(15).

As of the date of filing of this Annual Report, the Company acts with five directors, consisting of Mr. Clive Oosthuizen, Mr. William B. Nesbitt, Dr. Martin A. Blake, Mr. Philip J. Woolas and Ms. Calli R. Bucci. The Company has determined that Mr. William B. Nesbitt, Mr. Philip J. Woolas and Dr. Martin A. Blake are “independent director(s)” as defined in NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 4200(a)(15).

ITEM 14.

PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANTS FEES AND SERVICES

The aggregate fees billed or to be billed for the most recently completed fiscal years ended December 31, ~~2017~~2018 and ~~2016~~2017, for professional services rendered by the principal accountant for the audit of the Company’s annual financial statements and review of the financial statements included in the Company’s quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and services that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for these fiscal periods were as follows:

	December 31, 2017		December 31, 2016
	December 31, 2018		December 31, 2017
Audit Fees	$	32,000	$	32,000
Audit Related Fees		––		––
Tax Fees		––		––
All Other Fees		––		––
Total	$	32,000	$	32,000

The Company’s Board pre-approves all services provided by the Company’s independent auditors. All of the above services and fees were reviewed and approved by the Board either before or after the respective services were rendered.

The Company’s Board has considered the nature and amount of fees billed by the Company’s independent auditors and believes that the provision of services for activities unrelated to the audit is compatible with maintaining the Company’s independent auditors’ independence.
