Exhibits

Prior to the formation of Atomic Studios Inc. in July 2019, “Atomic Network” was and an informal attempt in 2018 to gauge interest in a streaming network. The attempt was abandoned. An ICO for non-US investors was contemplated, but never executed. However, based on SEC statements that ICO’s may likely be deemed to be a sale of Securities and with the advice of Legal Counsel the project was abandoned and never moved forward.

Atomic.Video will be the official website of Atomic Studios, Inc. It should have been a landing page and the webmaster accidentally made it live. The term “Tokens” was used in place of “Loyalty Points” or credits, whereby subscribers have the ability to unlock additional levels in their Atomic Studios online subscription by assisting with social media postings, referring other subscribers, etc. Tokens in this case refer to an incentive program. The word “buyers” is incorrect and should be substituted with “holders.”

12. We note your disclosure that you have "years of experience in the low-budget production arena" and that you have completed certain shows with a loyal fan base. Given that the company was only incorporated in July 2019, please revise to provide a discussion of the history of the company during the past three years, including previous financing activity. News articles indicate that you may have raised funds previously. Clarify your reference to receiving working capital from a "parent company."

Our team has experience in producing low-budget films during their work with other independently-owned production companies prior to the formation of Atomic Studios, Inc., which are not affiliated with Atomic Studios. We plan to produce original content through Atomic Studios in the future upon funding.
