And further, Bistromatics provided substantial unanticipated additional services during the past 5 months to fully engineer and construct additional novel features that were required in order to ready the PHZIO platform for launch; and

 

WHEREAS, these additional services resulted in costs to Bistromatics in the amount of approximately US$225,000; and

 

WHEREAS, the Company continues to be in a position where it cannot repay Bistromatics for its advances nor pay the monthly fees owed under the service Agreement, nor are the Company’s senior executives willing to continue to work for no compensation; and
