• Acquisition Terms Corrected

  Cash consideration reduced from $474,000 to $384,000; share consideration increased from 105,000 to 180,000 shares at $1.20 per share. Total deal value unchanged at $600,000.

• Financial Impact

  The shift to more equity and less cash preserves $90,000 in cash but increases potential dilution. At today's $1.38 price, the 180,000 shares would be worth ~$248,400, above the $216,000 valuation in the agreement.

• Distress Context

  The company has a going-concern warning, a 77% revenue decline, and recently obtained shareholder approval for a massive increase in authorized shares, signaling potential further dilution.

• Prior Disclosure

  Original 8-K filed June 30, 2026, reported incorrect cash and share amounts. This amendment corrects those figures.

The amendment corrects the terms of the June 26 acquisition of an 8% stake in Margo Asia. Cash paid drops from $474,000 to $384,000, while shares issued rise from 105,000 to 180,000, still at $1.20 per share. Total consideration remains $600,000, but the shift to more equity and less cash is notable given the company's going-concern warning and recent massive authorized share increase. The deal now involves 180,000 shares, which at today's $1.38 price would be worth about $248,400, but the agreement values them at $216,000. This correction comes amid a backdrop of severe financial distress and shareholder approval for massive dilution.
