Material Changes and Conditions

- The Company must file a registration statement with the SEC registering the shares within 60 calendar days of the agreement date.
- The purchase must not violate the 4.99% beneficial ownership limit for the Investor.
Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary
Management has secured a potential source of capital to raise up to $1.5 million, providing flexibility to fund operations or projects through December 31, 2018. However, the actual capital raise is contingent upon the Company's ability to file the required registration statement within the 60-day window and the Company's decision to exercise the capital call rights. The filing does not provide specific guidance on future revenue or operational milestones.
