Material Changes and Status Updates
- Series B Delay: The closing of the $10,000,000 Series B Offering, originally scheduled for April 14, 2020, has been delayed. Unifinance attributed the delay to the global Covid-19 pandemic but remains committed to investing by June 1, 2020. The Company has agreed to this extension.

Guidance, Risks, and Unusual Items
- Pandemic Impact: The primary risk factor cited is the global Covid-19 pandemic, which has caused a delay in the receipt of the $10,000,000 Series B investment.
- Regulatory Compliance: Securities were sold under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Rule 506, relying on exemptions for accredited investors. No public offering or general solicitation occurred.
