2. In August 2016, LIGA filed updated financials for 2015 and 2016 so that its status with OTC Markets was upgraded to OTC Pink Current. LIGA is committed to maintain this status and will aim to file audited financials in the future.
3. In October 2016, LIG Assets(LIGA) announced it would rebrand itself as the "Leader in Green Assets" -- also an acronym for its stock symbol "LIGA" -- to better represent the company's current and planned future focus.

Previous management agreed to pay over half of the reduced settled amount leaving LIGA with only $220,000 in debt to be paid over the next two years. This settlement was considered a win-win for all parties and allows LIGA to move forward aggressively on its new business plan.

Construction of the waterfront property in Panama City Beach, FL will begin in January 2017 with an aggressive completion schedule. LIGA high performance homes are designed to be constructed in a more efficient manner than conventional homes.
2017 Goals and Plans:
1. LIGA aims to deploy state-of-the-art technology and methodologies to bring sustainable housing to a price level that is competitive with traditional construction. Its business plan is to allow the average homeowner the ability to purchase a home in one of its developments that is sustainable; thus significantly reducing expenses for water and power. Additionally, LIGA will utilize construction materials that exhibit the highest ratings of moisture, mold and fire resistance and are far less susceptible to aging decay associated with traditional building materials. The Company's designs are not necessarily intended for a niche market, but scalable for mass development.
2. LIGA will begin construction of its first model home on the Panama City Beach property and will serve to demonstrate and incorporate all elements of the Company's innovative construction, design, and technology. LIGA's architectural and design team has produced renderings of many homes that are being used now to secure new development projects.
3. LIGA has a goal to sign Agreements to participate in at least four developments across the nation in 2017 for its brand of homes. In addition, LIGA is entering into strategic partnerships with material suppliers which will enhance net profitability. This will be accomplished by acting as a developer of sustainable communities, homes and "Post-Construct" upgrades for those who want to make their current homes more sustainable.
4. LIGA is actively pursuing and developing projects in at least six states that range from small scale high performance showcase homes like the one in Panama City Beach, to much larger home community developments that involves construction plans of over 1000 homes. LIGA is working with its partners and advisors to value engineer its own brand of energy efficient, high performance homes that are priced and built for developing mass markets.
5. LIGA plans to work closely with Mr. Robert Plarr to offer his large database of interested buyers a home that is truly sustainable and green. LIGA will implement many of Mr. Plarr's most highly recommended and approved technologies and building materials.
6. Through successful implementation of the business plan, we hope to deliver gains to our loyal shareholders that exceed our wildest dreams.
