As LIGA gets closer to breaking ground for new developments in Brentwood, Tennessee, and Panama City Beach, Florida. Both of these projects and a few others that will be announced soon will create significant revenue and profit for LIG Assets. Also, I'm proud to announce that BGTV has secured expansion opportunities and offices in Las Vegas, Indiana and China and already sourced cash flow that will allow LIGA's subsidiary BGTV to expand in its core business that could allow BGTV’s revenues to grow ten-fold in the future. Our goal for the rest of 2018 and moving forward is to focus on generating strong operating cash flows and profits that will create long term value for our shareholders," said Marvin Baker, President of LIGA & CEO of BGTV.
Also, the second quarter report noted that no shares were issued in Q2 and in the process of changing transfer agents and working towards audited financials, LIGA uncovered several discrepancies the first of which led to the stop order of the 160,000,000 shares and secondly there was a legend that was illegally removed that led to the stop order. The 160,000,000 shares are under review for cancellation. The above mentioned process has uncovered the fact that the previous float number provided by the former Transfer Agent was incorrect as of March 2018. The float has remained unchanged since November 2, 2017.
