Material Changes

Holdback Risk: The Company has retained $0.28 million as security against indemnifiable losses occurring within the first anniversary of the closing date.
Unregistered Securities: The stock issued as part of the consideration was sold to non-US persons in an offshore transaction relying on Regulation S and Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.
