- Allocation: $2,250,000 per store ($2,240,000 for assets and $10,000 for beer/wine licenses).

Material Changes and Transaction Structure
The Company is divesting tangible personal property (machinery, equipment, fixtures, furniture, leasehold improvements) and beer/wine licenses for stores located in San Gabriel and Monrovia, California. The "Good Fortune" trade name and related goodwill are being retained by the Company. The transaction is structured as an asset purchase, with the inventory sold under separate agreements. The filing does not provide comparative financial data (revenue, profit, or cash flow) for the reporting period versus prior periods.
Outlook, Risks, and Contingencies
Management commentary is limited to the terms of the agreement. Key risks and contingencies include:
- Closing Conditions: The transaction is conditioned on Buyers obtaining lease assignments or new leases and securing a written release from landlords.
- Regulatory Approval: Transfer of beer and wine licenses is contingent upon approval by the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control.
- Financing Risk: The lump-sum payment is dependent on Buyer financing; failure to secure it triggers a deferred payment structure with interest.
- Default Risk: Unpaid balances after September 30, 2027, constitute an event of default with increased interest rates.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the status of the Buyer's financing to determine if the lump-sum payment or installment note structure will apply.
- Confirm the independent third-party inventory count results to assess total proceeds from the transaction.
- Monitor the status of lease assignments and landlord releases for both the San Gabriel and Monrovia locations.
- Track the approval status of the beer and wine license transfers with the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control.
- Review the creditworthiness of the guarantors (Qinghui Ni and ENSON GROUP, INC.) given the secured note structure.
