Material Changes Versus Prior Period

- Principal Reduction: The facility principal was reduced from $10,000,000 to $7,000,000.
- Borrowing Base Adjustment: Advances are now limited to the lesser of $7,000,000 or the sum of 100% of Eligible Credit Card Receivables plus 100% of Product Costs for Eligible Inventory (capped at $750,000 for Prepaid Inventory).

Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
Management Commentary: The filing contains no forward-looking guidance, outlook, or management commentary regarding future financial performance beyond the terms of the debt agreement.
Risks and Contingencies:
- Default Risk: Failure to pay interest or principal when due triggers an "Extra Rate" interest charge of 8.00% above the Effective Rate.
- Termination Cost: Early termination of the amendment before December 31, 2025, incurs an exit fee of 0.50% of the principal ($35,000) plus unpaid fees.
- Rate Floor: The interest rate is protected by a floor of 6.50% per annum, regardless of prime rate fluctuations.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the current status of CardCash's "Eligible Accounts" and "Eligible Inventory" to ensure the $7,000,000 borrowing base is fully supported.
- Confirm the current Wall Street Journal prime rate to calculate the exact effective interest rate (Prime + 3.00%).
- Review the full text of Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 for specific definitions of "Eligible Credit Card Receivables" and "Product Costs."
- Assess the impact of the $250,000 cash release on the company's immediate liquidity position.
- Monitor compliance with the new borrowing base limitations to avoid covenant breaches.
