Risks and Contingencies:
- Service Delivery Risk: The acquisition consideration depends on the Company's ability to provide software services over the next year.
- Conversion Uncertainty: The $60,000 note converts only upon specific future events (capital raises, mergers, or IPOs) or at maturity; there is no guarantee of conversion or repayment timing.
- Operational Dependency: US Realty's operations rely on a single independent contractor for licensing and compliance across 33 states.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the valuation and scope of the "in-kind services" to be provided in exchange for the $250,000 acquisition price.
- Review the full text of the Convertible Promissory Note (Exhibit 99.1) to understand specific conversion triggers and dilution risks.
- Confirm the financial health and operational status of US Realty, given it had no operations prior to the acquisition.
- Monitor the execution of the services agreement expected within 30 days of the closing date.
- Assess the liquidity and capital raising plans of Unreal Estate Inc. (the Parent) to evaluate the likelihood of the note converting.
