Application of Rule 262 (a) State whether any of the persons identified in response to Item 1 are subject to any of the disqualification provisions set forth in Rule 262: no; (b) If any such person is subject to these provisions, provide a full description including pertinent names, dates and other details, as well as whether or not an application has been made pursuant to Rule 262 for a waiver of such disqualification and whether or not such application has been granted or denied: not applicable. (c) Supplement to this Amended Offering Statement, in reply to the Commission's letter, dated July 24, 2015: correction of inadvertent error as to the box checked on Item 3 of the online Form 1-A. Through inadvertence, the applicant checked the second box on this section. After discussion with Commission counsel pursuant to the Commission's letter to which this reply is directed, the applicant has unchecked the second box. The Commission's letter, in any event, seeks further information and clarification with respect to this section. 6 Under 17 CFR 230.262 (a) & (b), for the following reasons, the applicant has now corrected the inadvertence and declares here that neither the Issuer, under (a), nor any Issuer's representative or other persons under (b) are subject to the provisions of this Rule. As a threshold matter, under (a)(4) there are no matters under a 'court of competent jurisdiction,' meaning a constitutionally authorized Article III forum, for which FLRRBC has ever been the subject of any matter. Similarly, under (b)(2), for the same reasons, no persons are similarly subject to Rule 262. Further, none of the applicant companies have received any contact from any State Blue Sky enforcement offices, including FLRRBC. There are no other subparts of (a) or (b), which apply to this matter. In order to further clarify as to any agency action which may have occurred in any State, however, the Issuer provides the following additional information. Prior to JOBS Act, no persons listed in the Form 1-A filing, had ever had experience with exempt limited offerings. The only person who is among the persons listed, who has any previous experience, as a trader, is Michael D. Lang. Mr. Lang is a veteran banker in Washington, D.C., and is also a pioneer of our companies. The companies maintain no bank accounts at the bank which employs Mr. Lang. As a part of his job, Mr. Lang is required to be licensed as a securities broker, but he has never acted in that capacity with respect to the applicant companies. At some point after the announcement by the Commission of the new rules for Rule 506 JOBS Act, but before the effective date, in September, 2013, the Issuer's representative 7 created 'offering statements' and 'private placement memoranda' for the projected Rule 506 JOBS Act companies. These documents were created for a company that is not a part of any of the applications currently being processed here. In the course of preparing those documents, the Issuer's representative, through inadvertence, mistakenly showed the announcement date as the effective date. During this time period, in a further effort to determine whether different States had reached any new rules concerning JOBS Act, the Issuer's representative contacted, essentially, all of the State Blue Sky Law agency offices on the east coast of the United States, as a beginning point. This was done only after reviewing the Blue Sky laws of those States, in detail. The responses from the Blue Sky law attorneys varied, but one attorney in the New Jersey office decided to email the attorneys in the other States. As a part of the review process, the Issuer's representative had fully disclosed the various States being contacted, to all such attorneys. In all instances, the process of the Issuer's representative was identical: he emailed the office to make sure, since JOBS Act rules were brand new, as to whether, assuming any direct marketing in the State, a decision that had not yet been made, either marketing material had to be provided and a fee paid and/or whether actual registration was required for any particular State. Among the responses, was a series of emails from a 'securities analyst' in the Florida securities office. The analyst stated, repeatedly in emails to the Issuer's representative 'you don't need to file anything at this point.' Irrespective of this clear and unequivocal language as contained in the emails, after the Florida securities office attorney received the email from the New Jersey securities office attorney, but without first checking to see if the Issuer's representative had contacted anyone at the Florida office, the Florida attorney filed an agency action, seeking both a fine and an order. There was no specific allegation as to what was the issue. 8 The Issuer's representative, then, removed the case from the agency process and transferred it to Florida's administrative hearing process, a non-constitutional forum. The matter proceeded to a hearing, where the agency called its first witness, an office secretary of the agency. After failing to survive cross-examination by the Issuer's representative, but before the analyst who provided the emails to the Issuer's representative was sworn in, the hearing examiner halted the proceedings, in order to make inquiry of the attorney for the agency. By this time, the process had already made clear that there were no disputed issues of material fact, a requirement for the hearing to proceed. Thus, the hearing examiner made inquiry of the agency attorney as to whether there was any dispute that the analyst had sent the emails to the Issuer's representative, and any dispute as to the factual accuracy of the emails. In both instances, the agency attorney replied in the negative. At that point, the hearing examiner declared that the Issuer and the Issuer's representative were the prevailing parties, ruled that there were no disputed issues of material fact, terminated the hearing, and entered an order indicating such. Under agency rules, the matter returned to the agency. With no case, the agency attorney, after some wasted effort on the part of all persons, revealed the discrepancy in the dates as presented by the Issuer's representative as the sole factual basis for the matter, withdrew any demands for any fines, withdrew any penalties, and agreed to settle the matter as indicated, with the Issuer's representative making any future corrections as to the effective date. As the company that was the subject of the matter never went on to become one of the JOBS Act companies, largely because its project area was too narrow, no further action exists as to any proceedings. 9 As with the FLRRBC application, as shown by this response letter to the Commission's letter, inadvertent mistakes can be made. Unlike the State proceedings, however, the Commission has taken more of a substantive review process, and has been very generous of the time allowed to make the replies contained in this letter. ITEM 3. Affiliate Sales If any part of the proposed offering involves the resale of securities by affiliates of the issuer, confirm that the following description does not apply to the issuer: the issuer has not had a net income from operations of the character in which the issuer intends to engage for at least one of its last two fiscal years: the Issuer confirms this statement.

Such securities will be made known, consistent with JOBS Act rules, on the Internet only, with no direct marketing of any sort whatsoever. Further, any inquiries with respect to said securities will have a brief response made for the purposes of setting an in-person meeting with the Issuer's representative, Mr. Ramos, only in Washington, D.C.; 10 (b) List the jurisdictions in which the securities are to be offered other than by underwriters, dealers or salesmen and state the method by which such securities are to be offered: none.

Michael D. Lang, registered broker at Wells Fargo, personal issue, not for sale; B. Colleen Ehrhart; C. Anthony J. Castaldo; (b) As to any unregistered securities of the issuer or any of its predecessors or affiliated issuers which were sold within one year prior to the filing of this Form 1-A by or for the account of any person who at the time was a director, officer, promoter or principal security holder of the issuer of such securities, or was an underwriter of any securities of such issuer, furnish the information specified in subsections (1) through (4) of paragraph (a): none; 13 (c) Indicate the section of the Securities Act or Commission rule or regulation relied upon for exemption from the registration requirements of such Act and state briefly the facts relied upon for such exemption: Section: JOBS Act, Rule 506; Facts relied on: in accordance with JOBS Act rules and regulations as published in the Federal Register, to include, sales for investment purposes only, single price, single class. ITEM 6. Other Present or Proposed Offerings State whether or not the issuer or any of its affiliates is currently offering or contemplating the offering of any securities in addition to those covered by this Form 1-A: none. ITEM 7.

SUMMARY INFORMATION, RISK FACTORS, RISK MITIGATION FACTORS, DILUTION AND MATERIAL DISPARITIES A. Summary Information: This Regulation A opportunity is for what is called the 'interconnector' sector of the broadband infrastructure industry. This sector provides the system whereby broadband Internet access service (BIAS) providers, as currently defined by the FCC's new Open Internet rules, sell their retail services to customers. These are companies like Netflix, Hulu, Crackle, YouTube, Apple TV, as well as the traditional content providers, like Comcast and Time Warner Cable. This project is limited to unserved and underserved rural areas of the United States, and provides such 'interconnector' infrastructure for homes, businesses, and rural cities. B. Risk Factors: 1. Statements of future forecasts, projections and expectations are not statements of returns on investment; 2 . Market penetration may not be immediate; 3 . Zoning issues may delay the start of parts of the project; 4. Attracting broadband providers to a carrier-neutral environment could result in initial limited user expansion; l 5 . Local government needs could accelerate adoption, at a short term financial loss; 6 . The Company has no operating history; 7 . Sales of shares will be restricted in accordance with Regulation A, as amended, effective June 19, 2015; 8 . Technology choice: the primary technology choice for this project is white space infrastructure technology. This technology was authorized by the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC), in 2012, and thus, there is limited data on a national rollout of this technology at the present time. This project would be among the first for a consumer-ready rollout of the technology infrastructure; 9 . There is an absence of profitable operations in recent periods; 10 . There is no current, defined method for determining market price for the service, as the service has, as of yet, not had a commercial rollout; 2 11. the project has not yet been completed and, accordingly; has no operating history. The company, therefore, has no operating history of earnings and its operations will be subject to all of the risks inherent in the establishment of a new business enterprise. Accordingly the success of the business is completely dependent upon financial, business, competitive, regulatory and other general factors affecting the rural broadband interconnector sector in general as well as prevailing economic conditions; 12. although, under Regulation A securities are unrestricted, there is, for this offering, no opportunity to achieve control securities; C . Risk Mitigation Factors: l. 3-day right of withdrawal; 2. required pre-purchase in-person meeting in Washington, D.C. with Issuer's representative, and, upon signing confidentiality statement, additional proprietary project information provided; 3.right of rescission maintained under new JOBS Act rules; 3 4. stock class: not restricted; 5 . distribution: shares to land in the hands of the investor as of this offering. D . Dilution: The dilution formula that is utilized is taken from the administrative code of the State of Florida. After a survey of various dilution calculations from industry, as well as research among different State Blue Sky laws, we found that Florida's formula, as specifically codified, offers the best transparency by which to calculate dilution. E . Material disparities: There is no material disparity between the public offering price and the effective cash cost to officers, directors, promoters and affiliated persons as of the time of this offering circular, and there has been none in the past three years. Further, the Issuer's representative, and its officers and directors, which includes the Issuer's representative, do not anticipate any such material disparity, or discount. 4 With respect to promoters and affiliated persons, because this Regulation A offering is based upon new rules, made effective on June 19, 2015, the Issuer's representative was unable to locate any such persons as of the effective offering date of this offering circular, which is also June 19, 2015. This being said, in the event such persons do begin to hold themselves out as promoters or affiliates, and are so qualified, the Issuer intends to utilize the services of such promoters and affiliates and will amend this Offering Circular, as required by the Regulation A rules, as amended, in a timely manner, or with withdraw same and file a new one, consistent with said rules. ITEM 2. PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION - ALL SALES TO LAND IN THE HANDS OF THE INVESTOR A . Underwriters: For this initial filing, there is only a primary distribution, with all shares to land in the hands of the investor directly from the Issuer. There are no underwriters on this offering as of the potential date of first public sale, June 19, 2015. In the event, however, that underwriters do begin to take business under this new, amended Regulation A offering opportunity, the Issuer intends to seek out and retain such for this offering. In that event, and at that time, the Issuer intends to utilize the services of such underwriters and will amend this Offering Circular, as required by the Regulation A rules, as amended, in a timely manner, consistent with said rules. 5 B . Discounts and commissions: There are no agreements for discounts and commissions as of the potential date of the first public sale, June 19, 2015, because there have been no promoters, underwriters or affiliates yet retained. In the event, however, that such persons are retained under this new, amended Regulation A offering opportunity, the Issuer intends to allow for such discounts and to pay to such persons such amounts as may be reasonable and allowed by the new rules for Regulation A, as well as by any such voluntary or required groups, organizations or agencies that may provide for regulation and licensing of said persons. In that event, and at that time, the Issuer will amend this Offering Circular, as required by the Regulation A rules, as amended, in a timely manner, or withdraw this one and file a new one, consistent with said rules. C. Plan of distribution: As of the date of the filing of this first Regulation A offering circular for this project, such is limited to primary distribution only, with all shares landing in the hands of the investor directly from the Issuer and the Issuer's representative. As of the potential first offering sale date, and only upon successful upload to the SEC for registration, and if those two are not the same, upon the completion of the latter, there will be no secondary offering agreements, contracts, or any other relations with any persons or companies for other than primary sales. 6 D. No shares offered or sold on account of securities holders: Consistent with Item 2. C, above, all shares will be sold upon issuance only from the Issuer and to land in the hands of the investor. E. No restrictions on amount of funds raised up to Regulation A limit, and therefore, no return of funds issue, no underwriters: 1 . no restrictions: all sales are primary in nature, and will land in the hands of the investor directly from the Issuer. There are no arrangements with any persons, by the Issuer, or the Issuer's representative for any return of funds, other than those as stated herein with respect to the 3-day right of withdrawal, and except as to the Tier 1 funding cap of $20 million. The existence of the Tier 1 funding cap, however, is not a restriction as to the return of any funds for this offering, as any funds raised, up to and including the funding cap limit, will be used for project implementation; 7 2 . No underwriters: as there are no underwriters, there will be no delay in payments. ITEM 3 . USE OF PROCEEDS TO ISSUER A . Intended use of net proceeds: All proceeds will be utilized to effectuate the implementation/install/operational activation of large scale rural broadband inter-connector infrastructure, utilizing, primarily, white space technology, with co-location for backhaul, as well as the integration of streaming video capability. B . Statement as to use of actual proceeds: All proceeds will be utilized to effectuate the implementation/install/operational activation of large scale rural broadband inter-connector infrastructure, utilizing, primarily, white space technology, with co-location for backhaul, as well as the integration of streaming video capability. All funds will be sufficient, consistent with budget scaling of the amount of investments, so as to accomplish project goals. For example, if X amount of funding is achieved, then Y amount, or sections, of a given project area can be fully built out and made operational. C . No other funds to be used: There are no other funds that would be used in conjunction with any proceeds. 8 D . No proceeds to be used to discharge indebtedness: The project carries no debt, and therefore, no proceeds would be used to discharge any indebtedness. E . No proceeds to be used to acquire non-project assets: With the exception of assets acquired in the ordinary course of business for the project, there will be no other use of the proceeds. F . Reservation of right to change use of proceeds: The issuer reserves the right to change the use of proceeds provided that such reservation is due to certain contingencies which are adequately disclosed. For example, the project may require the purchase of small and insignificant tracts of real estate for the purposes of positioning hardware, or structures upon which to mount such hardware. Or, for co-location purposes, the project may require the long-term leasing of space on certain rooftops, again for the purposes of providing relay connector hardware to the project area. In all instances, however, the project plan is to avoid either the purchase of any real estate or the necessity of establishing such rooftop links. In other words, one of the primary project goals is to have access to broadband Internet service utility connections that are a part of the location of the sending radios, or in very close proximity to such. In this manner, significant costs of such real estate and other co-location items may be avoided, and thus, budget kept more efficient. 9 G. Compliance with 17 CFR 230.251, as amended: The Issuing company/applicant has no plans and no business plan, or intentions to engage in a merger or acquisition with an unidentified company, companies, entity or person. ITEM 4 . DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS A . Business done and intended to be done: The project has consisted of the origination, organization, design and development of a large-scale rural interconnector infrastructure that will bring Internet service to unserved areas of rural America. Such business has been conducted over a period in excess of five years. The business to be done consists of utilizing the proceeds to implement, fulfill, and make operational, such infrastructure in a defined project area. 10 B . The principal products produced and services rendered and the principal market for and method of distribution of such products and services: The principal 'product' produced consists of a consumer-ready 'kit' that brings full Internet service to the unserved areas of rural America. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC), for example, has identified 84,000 unserved census blocks in rural America. The 'kit' concept was originated by the parent company in order to create a defined, consumer-ready project plan that can be scaled from a small, to a massive project size, depending on funding. The principal 'service' that would be provided consists of the permanent operation of the 'kit' over the entire rural American landscape. C . The status of a product or service, if the issuer has made public information about a new product or service which would require the investment of a material amount of the assets of the issuer or is otherwise material: The issuer has made 'public' the 'product' by making JOBS Act, Rule 506 notifications on the Internet. The principal 'service' is identified on the main project website, at www.urbroadband.com. 11 Thus, there are no investment proceeds which would require such new information, and saving, therefore, the proceeds for use in project implementation. D . The estimated amount spent during each of the last two fiscal years on company-sponsored research and development activities determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles: The company has spent all of its time during the past six fiscal years on research and development activities. E . The estimated dollar amount spent during each of such years on material customer-sponsored research activities relating to the development of new products, services or techniques or the improvement of existing products, services or techniques: For largely proprietary reasons, the company has avoided such spending, and will continue to avoid such, for those same reasons. Further, both the FCC and th United States Department of Agriculture, among other Federal and State agencies, have extensive public information available on this issue. F . The number of persons employed by the issuer: For purposes of cost control, the Issuer maintains no staff of employees. All persons who are employed on the project are consultants and others with specialized knowledge, who work for themselves, or for outside companies. Further, the project anticipates little employment because most of the work to be performed, in terms of install and the like, must be done by the original equipment manufacturers (OEM), or by contractors employed by them for that purpose. 12 This being said, a staff of customer support personnel, to relay messages for customer issues, will be retained upon funding. Further, a staff of computer-related personnel, for the purposes of media, social media, community outreach and the like will be maintained for the project. G . The material effects that compliance with Federal, State and local provisions which have been enacted or adopted regulating the discharge of materials into the environment, may have upon the capital expenditures, earnings and competitive position of the issuer and its subsidiaries: None. H . Distinctive or special characteristics of the issuer's operation or industry which may have a material impact upon the issuer's future financial performance: 1. dependence on one or a few major customers or suppliers (including suppliers of raw materials or financing): none; 2 . existence of probable governmental regulation: the interconnector sector for broadband is not a part of the FCC's recent Open Internet rules. This said, to the extent that broadband Internet access service (BIAS) provider retailers will sell their services on our system, those providers will be regulated by the FCC; 13 3 . material terms of and/or expiration of material labor contracts or patents, trademarks, licenses, franchises, concessions or royalty agreements: none; 4 . unusual competitive conditions in the industry, cyclicality of the industry and anticipated raw material or energy shortages to the extent management may not be able to secure a continuing source of supply: none. I. The issuer's plan of operation for the twelve months following the commencement of the proposed offering: Proceeds will be utilized, immediately, to achieve full implementation of the projects. All planning is in place, and there is, thus, nothing else to do other than proceed to installation and activation; J . Proceeds from the offering to project cash requirements and whether, in the next six months, it will be necessary to raise additional funds: Proceeds will be utilized in strict accordance with budget calculations and for install and activation. Accordingly, as the budget may be measured by the amount of any proceeds at any one given time, and then the project sector may be scaled accordingly, there would be no need to raise additional funds for that sector. 14 For example, if the project raises an initial $600,000.00, then that amount would go towards the installation of one of the big sending radios, and 80 receiving radios in homes or offices. The only reason that the full 80 may not be installed at the outset would be the result of needing a higher capacity hardware install at the peering point. As these costs are generally known, and may be calculated, in fact, whether such additional capacity will be needed at any given sector would not be known until the install begins. For example, a base station location that otherwise qualifies for the sending radio, on that has height and electricity and is not in an FCC-prohibited flight path, among other factors, may not have an Internet connection, or may have one, but the hardware is not sufficient to be able to handle the bandwidth that is needed. In this scenario, we would look for such a co-location, which would be nearby, and would make contract arrangements to put a sending radio onto that co-location area, to send the signal to the base station, where the 80-account radio will be mounted. All such calculations and variations of this theme have long been worked out, and are overcome at a price/budget point that would allow for the 80 customer accounts to be placed on the big radio. In terms of scaling, thus, if $6,000,000.00 were achieved, for example, the number of pieces of hardware would simply be multiplied to accommodate that funding award, and so forth. K . Any engineering, management or similar reports which have been prepared or provided for external use by the issuer or by a principal underwriter: None. 15 L . Segment Data: None required. ITEM 5. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY The location and general character of the principal plants, and other materially important physical properties of the issuer and its subsidiaries. If any such property is not held in fee or is held subject to any major encumbrance, so state and briefly describe how held: To the greatest extent possible, the Issuer seeks to avoid owning any property in fee simple. Such expenses, often promoted by vendors of such components as cell. towers, have resulted, historically, in both unnecessary and unsustainable, and therefore, unprofitable results. By contrast, the projects specifically seek a 'light footprint,' wherever possible, to utilize existing assets of others, in order to create the 'kit' system that is the successful business plan. Put another way, the era of 'cable is coming to my farm any time now,' has largely ended. Further, the era of cell. towers for rural areas, has also largely ended. Those two self-limiting sectors never adjusted their business models to suit the needs of rural America, and have, accordingly, and for good and sound business reasons limited to their narrow function, abandoned the rural sector. This being said, the projects absolutely will rely on both fiber and cell towers as crucial location, or co-location peering points and thus, among the best starting points for any project is the location where the last fiber strand ends, or where the last cell. tower stands. 16 In this regard, the projects will make every effort to avoid the ownership of property, because, those sectors already own their own assets. Where the base stations are needed, long term rental contracts with building owners, or silo owners, or others, will be made. ITEM 6 . DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND SIGNIFICANT EMPLOYEES A .

Proposed remuneration payments: Until funding is achieved, the Board has forgone consideration of this issue. As members are financially self-sustaining, the position of the Board has been that the project comes first, and any remuneration later. ITEM 8. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF MANAGEMENT AND CERTAIN SECURITYHOLDERS A . Voting securities and principal holders thereof: 1 . by the three highest paid persons who are are officers and directors of the Issuer: as discussed above, there is no current remuneration for any officers and directors; 2 . all officers as a group: same as above; 3 . each shareholder who owns more than 10% of any class of the issuer's securities, including those shares subject to outstanding options: same as above; 23 B . Table of ownership: 1 . Pre-offering shares: Consistent with the Amended Offering Statement, which is incorporated into the Amended Offering Circular by reference, those shareholders named therein all own shares in excess of 5% of shares owned before the offering, and will own their same respective percentages, according to the dilution formula, after the offering. Thus, in order to achieve a Regulation A funding offering of $20,000,000.00, the amount of 200,000 shares will be issued, and then an amount that, with the calculation of the dilution formula, will keep those shareholders at the same percentage before this offering. 2 .

INTEREST OF MANAGEMENT AND OTHERS IN CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS Brief description of any transactions during the previous two years or any presently proposed transactions, to which the issuer or any of its subsidiaries was or is to be a party, in which any of the following persons had or is to have a direct or indirect material interest, naming such person and stating his relationship to the issuer, the nature of his interest in the transaction and, where practicable, the amount of such interest: A . Any director or officer of the issuer: with the exception of ownership of shares, and serving as officers and directors, none; B . Any nominee for election as a director: none; C . Any principal securityholder named in answer to Item 8 A., above: none; D . If the issuer was incorporated or organized within the past three years, any promoter of the issuer: The Issuer's representative, Tony Ramos, is also the Issuer of JOBS Act/Rule 506 securities, and notice of same was filed by the uploading of Form Regulation D onto EDGAR upon the opening of that opportunity, in September, 2013; 26 E . Any relative or spouse of any of the foregoing persons, or any relative of such spouse, who has the same house as such person or who is a director or officer of any parent or subsidiary of the issuer: none; F . Material transactions involving bank depositary of funds, transfer agent, registrar, trustee under a trust indenture, or similar services: Material transactions involving banks include security steps taken by the company with respect to co-signors on the accounts, as well as such steps taken to comply with rights of succession upon the death, disability or illness of one of the signers of the accounts. To this end, the company originated its 'Office of Financial Management,' with the sole purpose of appointing a trusted board member, and person of personal wealth, Marc J. Hagemeier, M.A., as having login, signing, and disbursement authority for the accounts upon such contingency as to any signers. Further, the board passed a resolution as to such transactions, to be implemented by November, 2015, that requires the board to replace the president and the office of the president as a signer on any accounts. This measure was also taken for security purposes, in order to avoid the president being placed in any coercive situations with respect to said accounts. Thus, the only 'transfer agent' would be Mr. Hagemeier. With the exception of the Issuer's representative, Mr. Ramos, there is no 'registrar' for any such material transactions. 27 There is no trustee under a trust indenture, or any other material transactions. There are no further 'similar services.' G . Material transactions or a series of similar transactions, including all periodic installments in the case of any lease or other agreement providing for periodic payments or installments that does not exceed $50,000: none; H . Where the interest of the specified person arises solely from the ownership of securities of the issuer and the specified person receives no extra or special benefit not shared on a pro-rata basis by all of the holders of securities of the class: none other than as to ownership of the shares and voting rights equal to all shareholders; I . Material indirect relationships: 1 . from such person's position as a director of another corporation or organization (other than a partnership) which is a party to the transaction: none; 2. from the direct or indirect ownership by such person and all other persons specified in subparagraphs (1) through (5) above, in the aggregate, of less than a 10 percent equity interest in another person (other than a partnership) which is a party to the transaction: none; 28 3 . where the interest of such person arises solely from the holding of an equity interest (including a limited partnership interest but excluding a general partnership interest) or a creditor interest in another person which is a party to the transaction with the issuer or any of its subsidiaries and the transaction is not material to such other person: none; 4 . material underwriting discounts and commissions upon the sale of securities by the issuer where any of the specified persons was or is to be a principal underwriter or is a controlling person, or member, of a firm which was or is to be a principal underwriter: none, however, as amended Regulation A is a new industry, the Issuer has yet been able to locate any such persons or companies who are taking such business. This said, the Issuer fully intends to engage such persons, once they begin to enter into this sector, and will, therefore, amend this subsection accordingly, or, if required by the rules, withdraw this Regulation A filing and file a new one; 5 . as to any transaction involving the purchase or sale of assets by or to any issuer or any subsidiary, otherwise than in the ordinary course of business, state the cost of the assets to the purchaser and, if acquired by the seller within two years prior to the transaction, the cost thereof to the seller: none; 29 6 . material transactions which involve remuneration from the issuer or its subsidiaries, directly or indirectly, to any of the specified persons for services in any capacity unless the interest of such persons arises solely from the ownership individually and in the aggregate of less than 10 percent of any class of equity securities of another corporation furnishing the services to the issuer or its subsidiaries: none.
