Key Financial Metrics and Obligations
- Loan Amount: $110,000 principal.
- Original Issue Discount (OID): $10,000 (10% of principal).
- Interest Rate: 8% per annum for the first nine months; increases to 18% per annum thereafter on the entire balance.
- Maturity Date: November 13, 2023, with automatic 2-month extensions unless terminated by the lender.

Material Changes and Related Transactions
The filing details a new debt obligation with Next Charging, LLC ("Next"). Michael Farkas, the managing member of Next, is a related party, beneficially owning approximately 24% of the Company's common stock. Additionally, the Company previously entered into an Exchange Agreement on August 10, 2023, to acquire 100% of Next's membership interests in exchange for common stock. As of the filing date, this acquisition has not closed.
Guidance, Risks, and Contingencies
- Acceleration Trigger: The entire outstanding principal and interest become immediately due upon the Company completing a capital raise of at least $3,000,000.
- Dilution Risk: In the event of default, the lender has the right to convert debt into equity, which could dilute existing shareholders.
- Liquidity Risk: The short-term nature of the note (due November 2023) and the high interest rate post-nine months present liquidity pressures.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the current status of the Exchange Agreement to acquire Next Charging, LLC, as it remains unclosed.
- Confirm the Company's ability to repay the $110,000 note by November 13, 2023, or secure an extension.
- Monitor for any capital raise activity exceeding $3,000,000, which would trigger immediate repayment.
- Review the potential dilution impact if the lender exercises conversion rights following a default.
