Investor Verification Checklist

  • Verify the current market price of the Common Stock relative to the $0.03 conversion price to assess immediate dilution potential.
  • Confirm the total outstanding debt load including the $165,000 principal and any accrued interest from the Initial Debenture.
  • Review the Company's cash position to determine ability to meet quarterly interest payments or potential redemption obligations.
  • Check for any existing events of default that could trigger the 18% interest rate or 30% discount conversion.
  • Examine the status of the registration statement for the New Underlying Shares, as this affects redemption rights.
