Material Changes

- Debt Maturity: Significant extension of debt maturities totaling $4,275,000 ($4,000,000 to Westbury and $275,000 to other note holders) to dates in 2015, alleviating immediate repayment pressure.

Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
The filing contains no forward-looking guidance, revenue outlook, or management commentary regarding future operational performance. The primary risk highlighted is the reliance on unregistered securities exemptions (Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933) for the equity issuances, noting that the company relied on the belief that investors were accredited and had access to company information.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the total outstanding debt balance post-extension and the specific interest terms for the extended notes.
- Confirm the total number of authorized and outstanding shares following the issuance of ~1.26 million new shares.
- Review the valuation methodology used for the stock issued in lieu of cash for debt extensions and services.
- Assess the company's cash runway given the reliance on equity issuance and debt extensions rather than operational cash flow.
