Over the past six months, IFBC has entered into several Agreements which will allow it to significantly expand its food and beverage operations:

1) In early November, 2015, IFBC signed an Agreement with La Giubi srl, a company which has been chosen to represent the project "Path of Peace" for the Vatican's Extraordinary Jubilee of Mercy, to provide food trucks during the current Jubilee. As a partner in this project, IFBC will supply up to 100 food trucks, known as "Ape," to provide food and drink to the many pilgrims attending the Vatican's celebration during the period of December 8, 2015 through August 8^th, 2016 (http://mwne.ws/1lO1CMV).

The potential for IFBC is to be situated in over 7,000 locations throughout Europe. (http://mwne.ws/225UdZS).

3) In mid-December, 2015, IFBC entered in an Agreement with Brand Out, Inc., one of Italy's premier booking companies, to provide IFBC with the food stands necessary to service the aforementioned Agreements. As a consequence of this new arrangement, IFBC will significantly increase its revenues by supplying food and beverages to all the food stands provided by Brand Out. (http://brandout.it/).
