- Aggregate Gross Proceeds: $1,700,000.
- Net Proceeds: $1,500,000.

Note: The filing text does not provide a clear value for current revenue, profit, cash flow, margins, or existing debt levels.
Material Changes
The primary material change is the authorization and issuance of a new class of preferred stock:
- Capital Structure: The Company amended its Certificate of Incorporation to designate 1,700,000 shares of authorized preferred stock as Series B Convertible Preferred Stock.
- Liquidity: The transaction increased immediate liquidity by $1.5 million in net cash.
- Liabilities: The issuance creates a senior liquidation preference over common stock and a potential cash dividend obligation if equity conditions are not met.
Outlook, Risks, and Contingencies
- Registration Rights: The Company is required to file a registration statement within 30 days of the closing date to register the shares underlying the Series B Preferred Stock.
- Dividend Contingency: Dividends are payable in shares of common stock subject to "Equity Conditions." If these conditions are not satisfied, dividends must be paid in cash. If North Carolina law prohibits cash dividends, the Stated Value of the stock will increase.
- Ownership Limitation: A beneficial ownership limitation prohibits any holder from owning more than 4.99% of the Company's common stock immediately following conversion.
- Voting Rights: Holders of Series B Preferred Stock have no general voting power, except as required by law or regarding matters affecting their specific preferences.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the specific "Equity Conditions" defined in the Certificate of Designation (Exhibit 3.1) that determine whether dividends are paid in stock or cash.
- Confirm the timeline for the filing of the registration statement required under the Registration Rights Agreement.
- Review the anti-dilution adjustment mechanics and Alternative Conversion rights detailed in the Certificate of Designation.
- Assess the impact of the 4.99% beneficial ownership limitation on future conversion scenarios for institutional investors.
