PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS.

General

The Company is a Texas corporation which, prior to 1998, was engaged in the specialty packaging business, primarily as a supplier of packaging products to the agricultural industry. During 1997, the Company commenced an orderly liquidation of its assets (described below) which was completed in 1997. At present, management of the Company is seeking to secure a suitable merger partner wishing to go public or to acquire private companies to create investment value for the Company. For purposes of Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), the Company is considered a shell company.

History

Prior Business Operations

The Company was established in July of 1993 as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dawson Geophysical Company ("Dawson" and formerly known TGC Industries, Inc.). On July 30, 1993, the Company purchased certain assets of Union Camp Corporation's packaging division for a purchase price of approximately $6.14 million. The assets purchased included substantially all of the business of weaving and constructing Saxolin Ò paper mesh and polypropylene plastic mesh bagging material for agricultural and industrial applications and substantially all of the properties related to Union Camp's packaging division. The properties acquired by Chase consisted of Union Camp's plant facilities located in Portland, Oregon, and Idaho Falls, Idaho, and all machinery, equipment, and inventories connected with these facilities.

The Company experienced losses from 1994 through 1997, and in 1997 the Company's secured lender decided not to renew the Company's operating line of credit. The Company's Board of Directors therefore determined that it was in the best interest of the Company and all of its creditors to liquidate in an orderly fashion.

Effective July 21, 1997, the Company sold its operations at Idaho Falls, Idaho, to Lockwood Packing Corporation ("Lockwood"). The assets sold included substantially all of the Company's equipment, furniture, fixtures, and other assets located in the Idaho Falls, Idaho, facility for a total of $75,000. In addition, the Company sold inventory from the Idaho Falls operation to Lockwood for $255,000. The proceeds from these sales were used to reduce the Company's loan balance with its lender.

On July 25, 1997, the Company notified its creditors by mail that the Company would begin an orderly liquidation of all of its remaining assets, outside of a formal bankruptcy or receivership proceeding, in a manner intended to maximize the asset values. The Company retained the firm of Edward Hostmann, Inc. to assist the Company in such liquidation which was completed during 1997.

Post-Liquidation Operations

Since 1999, the Board of Directors has devoted its efforts to establishing a new business or engaging in a merger or other reorganization transaction and, accordingly, the Company is being treated as a development stage company in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ASC Topic 915.

The Company closed a private placement of 13,334 units (the "Units") on September 7, 2007. Each Unit was sold for $150 and consisted of: one share of Series A 10% Convertible Preferred Stock ($100 stated value) convertible into 1,000 shares of the Company's common stock (the "common stock"); 500 shares of common stock; and 500 five-year warrants, each warrant exercisable for one share of common stock at $0.15 per share. Gross proceeds from the offering were $2,000,100, expenses of the offering were approximately $38,000, and net proceeds were approximately $1,962,000.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.

The expenses related to identifying a target business and to complete a business combination will increase our losses.

Until presented with a specific opportunity for a business combination, we will be unable to ascertain with any degree of certainty the time and costs required to select and evaluate a target business and to structure and complete the business combination. Any costs incurred in connection with the identification and evaluation of a prospective target business with which a business combination is not ultimately completed will result in a loss to us and reduce the amount of capital otherwise available to complete a business combination and thereafter operate the acquired business. We cannot provide assurance that we will be successful in identifying a target business and completing a business combination on terms favorable to our shareholders, if at all.

The tax treatment of a potential business combination is not clear.

We will endeavor to structure a business combination so as to achieve the most favorable tax treatment to us and to the target business and the shareholders of both companies. We cannot provide assurance that the Internal Revenue Service or appropriate state tax authorities will agree with our tax treatment of the business combination.

We have limited ability to evaluate management's target business. We cannot anticipate what role, if any, our management will play in a combined business and whether our management has the necessary experience to manage the combined business. We do not know if we will be able to recruit more management if necessary.

Although we intend to carefully scrutinize the management of a prospective target business before effecting a business combination, we cannot assure you that our assessment of the target's management will prove to be correct. In addition, we cannot assure you that the target's future management will have the necessary skills, qualifications, or abilities to manage a public company. Furthermore, the future role of our officers and directors, if any, in the target business cannot presently be stated with any certainty. While it is possible that one or more of our officers and directors will remain associated in some capacity following a business combination, it is uncertain whether all of them will devote their full efforts to our affairs after a business combination. Moreover, we cannot assure you that our officers and directors will have significant experience or knowledge relating to the operations of the particular target business.

We may seek to recruit additional management personnel to supplement the incumbent management of the target business. We cannot assure you, however, that we will be able to recruit additional managers who have the requisite skills, knowledge, or experience necessary to enhance the incumbent management and successfully operate the target business.

In our search for an appropriate combination partner, we will have to compete with other entities with more experience and greater resources; after a successful business combination we will have to face the competitors of the operating company we combine with.

We may encounter intense competition from other entities seeking to combine with a privately held operating company. Many of these entities, including financial consulting companies and venture capital firms, have longer operating histories and have extensive experience in identifying and effecting business combinations. Many of these competitors also possess significantly greater financial, technical, and other resources than we do. We cannot assure you that we will be able to effectively compete with these entities. Consequently, we may acquire a company with less favorable prospects then we would otherwise prefer, thus making our long-term prospects for success less likely.

If we effect a business combination, we will become subject to competition from the competitors of the acquired business. In particular, industries that experience rapid growth frequently attract larger numbers of competitors, including competitors with greater financial, marketing, technical, and other resources than our resources. We cannot ascertain the level of competition we will face if we effect a business combination, and we cannot assure you that we will be able to compete successfully with these competitors.

The Pink Sheets are characterized by high volatility which may negatively affect our stock price.

Our common stock is quoted on the Pink Sheets under the symbol "CPKA." The Pink Sheets, and the price of our common stock, are characterized by high volatility. We cannot guarantee any market for our shares of common stock and cannot guarantee that any stable market for our shares of common stock will develop or be sustained. We cannot predict the effect, if any, that our business activities or a business combination might have on the market price.

PART II

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

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

Results of Operations

For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014

Revenue

The Company had no operations and no revenue for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 and its only income was from interest income on its short-term investments which are classified as cash and cash equivalents.

Operating Expenses

The following table presents our total operating expenses for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014.

	Year Ended December 31,
	2015		2014
Stock-based compensation expense		-		2,078
Audit and accounting fees		28,450		74,100
Legal fees		18,870		40,221
Payroll		20,403		20,311
Other general and administrative expense		18,547		22,658
	$	86,270	$	159,368

Operating expenses consist mostly of audit and accounting fees and legal fees. Other general and administrative expenses are comprised oftransfer agent and EDGAR filer services and other services. These expenses were directly related to the maintenance of the corporate entity and the preparation and filing of reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The decrease in operating expenses in 2015 was mainly due to the decrease in audit and accounting fee and legal fees.

Loss from Operation

The Company incurred loss from operation of $86,270 and $159,368 for the year ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Other Income (Expense)

The following table presents our total Other Income (Expense) for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014.

	Year Ended December 31,
	2015			2014

Warrants modification expense		(14,684	)		(23,963	)
Interest and other income		102			1,301
Other Income (Expense), net	$	(14,582	)	$	(22,662	)

On August 31, 2014, 6,909,000 common share purchase warrants issued by the Company were modified to extend their maturity date to September 7, 2015. The exercise price and all other terms of the original warrant agreement remain the same. The warrants modification expense of $23,963 was computed as the incremental value of the modified warrants over the unmodified warrants on the modification date using a per share price of $0.15 per share which were the contemporaneous private placement offering price.

On August 31, 2015, 6,909,000 common share purchase warrants issued by the Company were modified to extend their maturity date to September 7, 2017. The exercise price and all other terms of the original warrant agreement remain the same. The warrants modification expense of $14,684 was computed as the incremental value of the modified warrants over the unmodified warrants on the modification date using a per share price of $0.15 per share which were the contemporaneous private placement offering price. See Note 7- Private Placement Offering of the financial statements.

Net Loss

The Company had a net loss of $100,852 for the year ended December 31, 2015, compared with a net loss of $182,030 for the year ended December 31, 2014. Net loss attributable to common stockholders was $100,852 for the year ended December 31, 2015, compared to $182,030 for the year ended December 31, 2014. Decreases in net loss attributable to common stockholders were due primarily to the abovementioned effect.

Loss per share for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 were approximately $(0.01) and $(0.01) based on the weighted-average shares issued and outstanding.

It is anticipated that future operating expenses will increase as the Company complies with its periodic reporting requirements and effects a business combination, although there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in effecting a business combination.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At December 31, 2015 the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $973,000 consisting mostly of money market funds and U.S. Treasury Bills. Management believes that its cash and cash equivalents are sufficient for its business activities for at least the next twelve months and for the costs of seeking an acquisition of an operating business.

The following table provides detailed information about our net cash flow for all financial statements years presented in this Report.

Cash Flow

	Year Ended December 31,
	2015			2014
Net cash used in operating activities	$	(88,256	)	$	(159,949	)
Net cash provided by investing activities		-			-
Net cash provided by financing activities		-			-
Net cash outflow	$	(88,256	)	$	(159,949	)

Net cash of approximately $88,000 was used in operations during fiscal 2015, a decrease of approximately $72,000 over the $160,000 used in operations during fiscal 2014. The decrease was due primarily to the decrease in the legal and professional fees in fiscal 2015. No cash flows were used or provided by investing activities for each of the periods presented. No cash flows were used or provided by financing activities for each of the periods presented.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-12, "Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period." This ASU provides more explicit guidance for treating share-based payment awards that require a specific performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period as a performance condition. The new guidance is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on the financial statements.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, "Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern (Topic 205-40)", which requires management to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity's ability to continue as a going concern for each annual and interim reporting period. If substantial doubt exists, additional disclosure is required. This new standard will be effective for the Company for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on the financial statements.

Factors Which May Affect Future Results

Future earnings of the Company are dependent on interest rates earned on the Company's invested balances and expenses incurred. The Company expects to incur significant expenses in connection with its objective of identifying a merger partner or acquiring an operating business.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA.

None.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. The term "disclosure controls and procedures," as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports, such as this report, that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that as of December 31, 2015, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Management's Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:

	·	Pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and the dispositions of the assets of the Company;

	·	Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorization of management and the board of directors of the Company; and

	·	Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluations of effectiveness to future periods are subject to risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or because of declines in the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures.

Our management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, assessed the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2015. 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.

Management has concluded that we did maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2015 based on those criteria.

Management's report was not subject to attestation by the Company's independent registered public accounting firm since the Company is classified as a smaller reporting company.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting.

We will regularly review our system of internal control over financial reporting and make changes to our processes and systems to improve controls and increase efficiency, while ensuring that we maintain an effective internal control environment. Changes may include such activities as implementing new and more efficient systems, consolidating activities, and migrating processes.

During the quarter ended December 31, 2015, there were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to affect materially, our internal control over financial reporting.

Herbert M. Gardner	76	Vice President
William J. Barrett	76	Secretary
Ann C. W. Green	74	Chief Financial Officer and Assistant Secretary

Additional information regarding Messrs. McInnes, Gardner, and Barrett is included in the foregoing information relating to the Board of Directors.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires the Company's directors and executive officers, and persons who own more than 10% of the Company's common stock, par value $.10 per share (the " Common Stock "), to file with the SEC certain reports of beneficial ownership of Common Stock. Based solely on copies of such reports furnished to the Company and written representations that no other reports were required, the Company believes that all applicable Section 16(a) filing requirements were complied with by its directors, officers, and 10% shareholders during the last fiscal year.

Committees

The Board of Directors has not established a separate audit committee within the meaning of the Exchange Act. Instead, the entire Board acts as the audit committee and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. The Board of Directors has determined that Dr. McInnes qualifies as an audit committee financial expert. He is not an independent director.

Code of Ethics

The Board of Directors has not adopted a code of ethics that applies to its executive officers. Since the Company is a development stage company with no operations and since only one of its executive officers receives compensation, the Board of Directors believes that a code of ethics is not necessary to deter wrongdoing and to promote honest and ethical conduct and accurate disclosure in the Company's public communications.

ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION.

Commencing November 1, 2007, the Company's Board of Directors agreed to pay the Company's Chief Financial Officer an annual salary of $17,000. No other officers of the Company receive compensation other than reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with Company business and development. There were no equity awards at fiscal year-end.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE.

Independence

The Common Stock is quoted on the over-the-counter market operated by Pink OTC Markets Inc., which does not impose any director independence requirements.

The Company did not engage in any transaction during the 2015 fiscal year, and does not currently propose to enter into any transaction, in which any related person had or will have a direct or indirect material interest in excess of $120,000.

ITEM 14. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING FEES AND SERVICES

The Company paid or accrued the following fees in each of the prior two fiscal years to ParenteBeard LLC, which served as theCompany's independent registered public accounting firm prior to October 31, 2013, and ZBS Group LLP, which served as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm since October 31, 2013.

We have considered whether the provision of any non-audit services, currently or in the future, is compatible with our auditors maintaining its independence and have determined that these services do not compromise their independence.

"Audit Fees" consisted of the fees billed for professional services rendered for the audit of our annual financial statements and the reviews of the financial statements included in our Forms 10-K and for any other services that were normally provided by our independent auditors in connection with our statutory and regulatory filings or engagements.

"Tax Fees" consisted of the fees billed for professional services rendered for tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning. Included in such Tax Fees were fees for preparation of our tax returns and consultancy and advice on other tax planning matters.

The Board of Directors, which functions as the audit committee, makes reasonable inquiry as to the independence of the Company's independent registered public accounting firm based upon the considerations set forth in Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X, including the examination of representation letters furnished by the independent registered public accounting firm.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of

Chase Packaging Corporation

Rumson, NJ

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Chase Packaging Corporation, (the "Company") as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the years in the two year period ended December 31, 2015. Chase Packaging Corporation's management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the auditing standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, 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. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Chase Packaging Corporation as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two year period ended December 31, 2015, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Management's plans for the Company include securing a merger or acquisition, raising additional capital, and other strategies designed to optimize shareholder value. However, no assurance can be given that management will be successful in its efforts. The failure to achieve these plans will have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations, and ability to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 2 - Immaterial Correction of an Error in Prior Periods

During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company identified errors related to an understatement of warrants modification expenses for the modification of the 6,909,000 common share purchase warrants to extend their maturity date to September 7, 2017 from the quarterly period ended September 30, 2014 through September 30, 2015. In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification 250, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, we evaluated the materiality of the errors from quantitative and qualitative perspectives, and concluded that the errors were immaterial to the Company's prior period interim and annual consolidated financial statements. Since these revisions were not material to any prior period interim or annual financial statements, no amendments to previously filed interim or annual periodic reports are required. Consequently, the Company has adjusted for these errors by revising its historical financial statements presented herein. Regarding the 2014 extension of warrants terms, the Company recognized the cumulative effect of the error on periods prior to those that are presented herein by increasing warrants modification expense by$23,963, increasing additional paid-in capital and reducing accumulated deficit by $23,963 for the quarter ended September 30, 2014, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, and as of the beginning of fiscal year 2015. Regarding the 2015 extension of warrants terms, the Company recognized the warrants modification expense of $14,684 by increasing additional paid-in capital and reducing accumulated deficit by $14,684 for the quarter ended September 30, 2015.

The following table presents the effects of the immaterial error correction on the balance sheet for the periods and year indicated:

NOTE 3 - NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:

NOTE 4 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

Use of Estimates:

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

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into cash with a remaining maturity of three months or less at the time of acquisition to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents balances with high credit quality financial institutions. As of December 31, 2015, and 2014, the Company had cash and cash equivalents held in financial institutions that were uninsured by Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation in the amount of approximately $973,000 and $1,062,000 respectively.

Income Taxes

The asset and liability method is used in accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for operating loss and tax credit carry forwards and for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured assuming enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce the carrying amounts of deferred tax assets unless it is more likely than not that such asset will be realized.

The Company adopted FASB Interpretation of "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes". There was no impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows as a result of implementing this guidance. At December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company evaluated its tax positions and did not have any unrecognized tax benefits. The Company's practice is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. The Company currently has no federal or state tax examinations in progress.

F-9

NOTE 5 - BASIC AND DILUTED NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE:

Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the sum of the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus the dilutive effect of shares issuable through the exercise of common stock equivalents.

We have excluded 37,424,000 and 34,675,000 common stock equivalents (preferred stock, warrants and stock options) from the calculation of diluted loss per share for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 respectively, which, if included, would have an antidilutive effect.

NOTE 6 - INCOME TAXES:

No current provision for Federal income taxes was required for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, due to the Company's operating losses. At December 31, 2015 and 2014 the Company had unused net operating loss carry-forwards of approximately $1,043,000 and $942,000 which expire at various dates through 2032. Most of this amount is subject to annual limitations under certain provisions of the Internal Revenue Code related to "changes in ownership."

As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, the deferred tax assets related to the aforementioned carry-forwards have been fully offset by valuation allowances, since it is more likely than not that significant utilization of such amounts will not occur in the foreseeable future.

	2015			2014
Deferred tax assets and valuation allowances consist of:
Deferred tax assets:
Net operating loss carry forwards	$	417,000		$	377,000
Less valuation allowance		(417,000	)		(377,000	)
Net deferred tax assets	$	-		$	-

We file income tax returns in the U.S. Federal and Texas state jurisdictions. Tax years for fiscal 2008 through 2015 are open and potentially subject to examination by the New Jersey and Texas state taxing authority.

The following is a reconciliation of the tax derived by applying the statutory rate to the earnings before income taxes, and comparing that to the recorded income tax (expense) benefits:

	Year ended
	December 31,
	2015			2014
Tax benefits (expense) at statutory rate		35	%		35	%
Unrecognized tax benefits (expense) of current period tax losses		(35	)%		(35	)%
Effective tax rate		-			-

The Company had no uncertain tax positions that would necessitate recording of a tax related liability.

NOTE 7 - PRIVATE PLACEMENT OFFERING:

On September 7, 2007, the Company completed a private placement, pursuant to which 13,334 units (the "Units") were sold at a per Unit cash purchase price of $150, for a total subscribed amount of $2,000,100. Each Unit consists of: (1) one share of Series A 10% convertible preferred stock, par value $1.00, stated value $100 (the "Preferred Stock"); (2) 500 shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.10 (the "Common Stock"); and (3) 500 warrants (the "Warrants") exercisable into Common Stock on a one-for-one basis. The proceeds of $2,000,100 were allocated to the instruments as follows:

Warrant liabilities	$	141,027
Redeemable and Convertible Preferred Stock		1,388,367
Common Stock		470,706
Total allocated gross proceeds:	$	2,000,100

Warrants

2014 Extension of Warrant Terms

On August 31, 2014, 6,909,000 common share purchase warrants issued by the Company were modified to extend their maturity date to September 7, 2015. The exercise price and all other terms of the original warrant agreement remained the same. The warrants modification expense of $23,963 was computed as the incremental value of the modified warrants over the unmodified warrants on the modification date using a per share price of $0.15 per share, which was the contemporaneous private placement offering price. Assumptions used in the Black Scholes option-pricing model for these warrants were as follows:

Average risk-free interest rate	0.10	%
Average expected life- years	1
Expected volatility	56.64	%
Expected dividends	4.01	%

2015 Extension of Warrant Terms

On August 31, 2015, 6,909,000 common share purchase warrants issued by the Company were modified to extend their maturity date to September 7, 2017. The exercise price and all other terms of the original warrant agreement remain the same. The warrants modification expense of $14,684 was computed as the incremental value of the modified warrants over the unmodified warrants on the modification date using a per share price of $0.15 per share, which was the contemporaneous private placement offering price. Assumptions used in the Black Scholes option-pricing model for these warrants were as follows:

Average risk-free interest rate	0.71	%
Average expected life- years	2
Expected volatility	49.01	%
Expected dividends	4.01	%

As of December 31, 2015, warrants to purchase 6,909,000 shares were outstanding, having exercise prices at $0.15 and an expiration date of September 7, 2017.As of December 31, 2014, warrants to purchase 6,909,000 shares were outstanding, having exercise prices at $0.15 and an expiration date of September 7, 2015.

As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, the average remaining contractual life of the outstanding warrants was 1.69 year and 0.68 years, respectively. The Warrants expire on September 7, 2017.

Series A 10% Convertible Preferred Stock

The principal terms of the Series A 10% Convertible Preferred Stock were as follows:

Voting rights – The Series A 10% Convertible Preferred Stock has voting rights (one vote per share) equal to those of the Company's common stock.

Dividend rights – The Series A 10% Convertible Preferred Stock carries a fixed cumulative dividend, as and when declared by our Board of Directors, of 10% per annum, accrued daily, compounded annually and payable in cash upon a liquidation event for up to five years, as well as the right to receive any dividends paid to holders of common stock.

Conversion rights – The holders of the Series A 10% Convertible Preferred Stock have the right to convert any or all of their Series A 10% Convertible Preferred Stock, at the option of the holder, at any time, into common stock on a one for one thousand basis.

Redemption rights –The shares of the Series A 10% Convertible Preferred Stock may be redeemed by the Company, in whole or in part, at the option of the Company, upon written notice by the Company to the holders of Series A 10% Convertible Preferred Stock at any time in the event that the Preferred Stock of one or more holders has not been previously converted. The Company shall redeem each share of Preferred Stock of such holders within thirty (30) days of the Company's delivery of notice to such holders and such holders shall surrender the certificate(s) representing such shares of Preferred Stock.

Liquidation entitlement – In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the holders of the Series A 10% Convertible Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, in preference to the holders of common stock, an amount equal to $100 per share of Series A 10% Convertible Preferred Stock plus all accrued and unpaid dividends.

At any time on or after August 2, 2011, the Holders of 66 2/3% or more of the Preferred Stock then outstanding could have requested liquidation of their Preferred Stock. In the event that, at the time of such requested liquidation, the Company's cash funds (in excess of a $50,000 reserve fund) then available to effect such requested liquidation were inadequate for such purpose, then such requested liquidation should have taken place (on a ratable basis) only to the extent such excess cash funds were available for such purpose.

Other provisions – There will be proportional adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations and the like.

Effective June 30, 2012, the holders of the Convertible Preferred Stock agreed to an amendment to the Series A 10% Convertible Preferred Stock which deleted the liquidation provisions. As a result, the Convertible Preferred Stock has been classified as equity (rather than temporary equity) in all filings beginning with the quarter ended June 30, 2012.

NOTE 8 - DIVIDENDS:

The Board of Directors declared a ten percent stock dividend on its outstanding Series A 10% Convertible Preferred Stock for shareholders of record as of November 15, 2015, and such shareholders received the stock dividend for each share of Series A Preferred Stock owned on that date, payable December 1, 2015. As of November 15, 2015, the Company had 27,466 shares of Preferred Stock outstanding; the total dividend paid consisted of 2,749 shares of Series A Preferred Stock (which are convertible into 2,749,000 shares of Common Stock) with a fair value of $274,900 and a total of 14 fractional shares which will be accumulated until whole shares can be issued. Due to the absence of Retained Earnings, the $2,749 par value of Preferred Stock dividend was charged against Additional Paid-in Capital.

NOTE 9 - STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY:

The Company's 2008 Stock Awards Plan was approved April 9, 2008 by the Board of Directors and ratified at the Company's annual meeting of stockholders held on June 3, 2008. The 2008 Plan became effective April 9, 2008 and will terminate on April 8, 2018. Subject to certain adjustments, the number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued pursuant to awards under the 2008 Plan is 2,000,000 shares. A maximum of 80,000 shares may be granted in any one year in any form to any one participant, of which a maximum of (i) 50,000 shares may be granted to a participant in the form of stock options and (ii) 30,000 shares may be granted to a participant in the form of Common Stock or restricted stock. The 2008 Plan will be administered by a committee of the Board of Directors. Employees, including any employee who is also a director or an officer, consultants, and outside directors of the Company are eligible to participate in the 2008 Plan.

On June 24, 2013, the Company's Board approved the granting of incentive stock options to the 4 officers and 2 outside directors under the Company's 2008 Stock Awards Plan for the purchase of 200,000 and 100,000 shares with grant date on June 25, 2013, respectively of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $0.03 per share on June 25, 2013.

Stock Option

The fair value of each option was estimated on June 25, 2013 (date of grant) using the following Black-Scholes assumptions:

	Year ended December 31, 2013
Expected term (in years)		5
Expected stock price volatility		185.25	%
Risk-free interest rate		1.48	%
Expected dividend yield		-

The Company vested 50% of the optioned shares on date of granting the stock options and 50% of the optioned shares vested on June 25, 2014.

The following table summarizes all stock option activity under the plans:

	Number of Options		Weighted Average Exercise Price		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life (Years)		Aggregate Intrinsic Value

The Company recognized approximately $0 and $2,078 of stock based compensation costs related to stock options awards for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

The weighted-average grant date fair value of options outstanding at December 31, 2015 was $0.03.

As of December 31, 2015, the unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the plan was $0.

NOTE 10 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS:

ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure," ("ASC 820") defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, not adjusted for transaction costs. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels giving the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3).

The three levels are described below:

Level 1 Inputs — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that is accessible by the Company;

Level 2 Inputs — Quoted prices in markets that are not active or financial instruments for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly;

Level 3 Inputs — Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability including significant assumptions of the Company and other market participants.

There were no transfers in or out of any level the year ended December 31, 2015 and 2014.

Except for those assets and liabilities which are required by authoritative accounting guidance to be recorded at fair value in the Company's balance sheets, the Company has elected not to record any other assets or liabilities at fair value, as permitted by ASC 820. No events occurred during the year ended December 31, 2015 which would require adjustment to the recognized balances of assets or liabilities which are recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.

The Company determines fair values for its investment assets as follows:

Cash equivalents at fair value — the Company's cash equivalents, at fair value, consist of money market funds — marked to market. The Company's money market funds are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy since they are valued using quoted market prices from an exchange.

The following tables provide information on those assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively:
