Changes to the Business, page 2
1. Please provide background information as to the business reasons and circumstances
for your change from “potash mining and exploration” to selling “mobile voice, data

users” where your sole officer and director, Mr. David Rector, does not have

those contracts. Please clarify how you are able to carry on this business with one
part-time officer who has no experience in the field, a part -time consultant, and no
employees.
3. Please clarify your business plan by providing more specific information regarding
the practical steps that you will need to take in order to make your business fully
operational and profitable. You state on page 2 that you intend to “carry on the
portion of GTC’s business related to the Globalstar Contracts . . . ,” as well as to
become a reseller of equipment and services. Please explain clearly what you will
need to do in order t o be able to offer these services and equipment for sale and how
long such preparations will take. Disclose the anticipated costs for such activities. In
your risk factor section you refer to a need for significant additional capital and you
describe pro duct development as a long, expensive process. We also note your
disclosure that David Rector has no experience in this industry and that you have no
other employees.
4. Disclose with greater specificity the nature of the products and services you intend to
offer. You frequently refer to your “solutions,” without disclosing very clearly what
the specific services and products are. For example, it appears that you intend to sell
satellite phones. If true, briefly explain the nature of such phones and how t hey differ
from cell phones. When you discuss markets, explain the nature of the intended
market for each product or service. Also, when you discuss competition, provide
greater specificity.
5. Please revise to clarify what type of products you intend to s ell through Amazon’s
website.

could cause you to make significant changes to your business profile.
