Material Changes
The primary material change is the expansion of the Company's operations through the acquisition of SMW, a privately held manufacturer of microwave components and subsystems that services overlapping customers. This transaction was finalized on September 12, 2019, pursuant to an asset purchase agreement originally dated May 9, 2019. The Company opted to lease the acquired facility rather than purchase it outright, subject to the aforementioned purchase option.
Outlook, Risks, and Contingencies

SMW's audited financial statements for fiscal years ended November 30, 2018 and 2017, and unaudited interim statements for the period ended August 31, 2019, are scheduled to be filed as amendments to this report. Pro forma financial information is expected to be filed within 71 days.
Risks: The Company has assumed a $1,000,000 debt obligation guaranteed by the parent entity. The success of the acquisition depends on the integration of SMW's operations and customer base.
