Event: Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement to sell its wholly-owned subsidiary, Brigadier Security Systems (2000) Ltd. ("Brigadier").
Key Financial Metrics and Transaction Details
This filing details a specific transaction rather than periodic financial performance. Key metrics related to the sale include:
- Total Purchase Price: $2,220,000 (subject to adjustments).
- Payment Schedule:
- $220,000 initial payment due three business days after execution.
- $1,000,000 payable on the Closing Date (expected July 1, 2025).
- $1,000,000 final payment due September 1, 2025, subject to working capital adjustments based on the June 30, 2025 balance sheet.

- Buyer: SKCAL LLC, an Arizona limited liability company solely owned by Scott Schoenberger, a director and approximately 11% shareholder of the Company.
Material Changes and Strategic Shift
The Company is divesting Brigadier to align with a corporate strategy focused on its financial services sector. Management explicitly states that Brigadier is not considered a "significant" subsidiary under Regulation S-X rules, and the sale does not constitute the disposition of a "significant" amount of assets under Item 2.01 of Form 8-K. Consequently, this disclosure is provided voluntarily under Item 8.01.
Outlook, Management Commentary, and Risks
- Use of Proceeds: Expected to be used to pay down corporate debt and for general corporate purposes.
- Approval Process: The independent board members reviewed an independent valuation of Brigadier's fair market value and approved the transaction on June 17, 2025. The audit committee retains oversight until closing.
- Risks and Contingencies:
- The agreement is subject to customary closing conditions and may be terminated by either party for material breach, failure to perform, or material adverse change.
- The final payment is contingent on the reconciliation of Brigadier's current assets and liabilities (Target vs. Final Balance Sheet) as of June 30, 2025, including adjustments for uncollectable receivables or undisclosed liabilities.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the independence and methodology of the valuation report reviewed by the board on June 17, 2025.
- Confirm the relationship and potential conflicts of interest regarding the buyer, SKCAL LLC, and its sole member, Scott Schoenberger.
- Monitor the "Target Balance Sheet" versus "Final Balance Sheet" reconciliation to determine if the final $1,000,000 payment will be adjusted.
- Review the full text of the Stock Purchase Agreement (Exhibit 10.1) for specific indemnification rights and representations.
- Assess the impact of the debt reduction on the Company's overall liquidity and leverage ratios once proceeds are received.
