  • Confirm the use of proceeds from the $325,000 capital raise, as the filing does not specify the intended allocation of funds.
  • Review the full text of the Share Subscription Agreement (Exhibit 10.1) for specific covenants or restrictions not detailed in the summary.
  • Check the Company's most recent Form 20-F or annual report for baseline financial health, as this 6-K does not provide liquidity or debt metrics.
