This Schedule 13D/A filing reveals a substantial increase in ownership by CEO Francis P. Kavanaugh, who purchased 40,000 shares on March 13, 2026. This transaction, valued at approximately $464,000 based on today's stock price, represents a significant commitment from the CEO, especially following the company's recent disclosure of a net loss for 2025 (March 2, 2026 10-K) and the sale of a property (March 6, 2026 8-K).
