Material Changes

Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary

- Contingencies: The obligation to close is subject to customary conditions. If the purchase does not close, the $100,000 deposit may be refunded under certain circumstances.
- Risks: The primary risk is the failure to meet closing conditions or complete due diligence, which would result in the termination of the agreement.
