Use of estimates
−Removed: The preparation of financial statements in conformity

+Added: The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
+Added: Quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.
+Added: Inputs other than quoted prices that are either directly or indirectly observable, such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
+Added: Inputs that are generally observable, supported by little or no market activity, and typically reflect management's estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
+Added: The categorization of an asset or liability within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
+Added: The valuation techniques used by the Company when measuring the fair value prioritize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

+Added: The Company filed a certificate of designation with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada designating and establishing the terms of the SATA Stock.
+Added: The SATA Stock is listed for trading on the Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol “SATA.”
+Added: The SATA Stock accumulates cumulative dividends ("regular dividends") at a variable rate (as described below) per annum on the stated amount of $ 100 per share thereof.
+Added: Regular dividends on the SATA Stock will be payable when, as and if declared by the Company’s board of directors or any duly authorized committee thereof, out of funds legally available for their payment, monthly in arrears on the 15th calendar day of each calendar month, beginning on December 15, 2025.
+Added: The initial monthly regular dividend rate per annum is 12.00 %.
+Added: However, the Company has the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to adjust the monthly regular dividend rate per annum applicable to subsequent regular dividend periods.
+Added: The Company’s right to adjust the monthly regular dividend rate per annum is subject to certain restrictions.
+Added: For example, the Company is not permitted to reduce the monthly regular dividend rate per annum that will apply to any regular dividend period (i) by more than the following amount from the monthly regular dividend rate per annum applicable to the prior regular dividend period:
+Added: the sum of (1) 25 basis points;
+Added: and (2) the excess, if any, of (x) the one-month term secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”) rate on the first business day of such prior regular dividend period, over (y) the minimum of the one-month term SOFR rates that occur on the business days during the period from, and including, the first business day of such prior regular dividend period to, and including, the last business day of such prior regular dividend period;
+Added: or (ii) to a rate per annum that is less than the one-month term SOFR rate in effect on the business day before the Company provides notice of the next monthly regular dividend rate per annum.
+Added: In addition, the Company is not entitled to elect to reduce the monthly regular dividend rate per annum unless and until (x) three ( 3 ) months following the initial issue date, or such earlier time as the arithmetic average of the last reported sale prices per share of SATA Stock
+Added: for each trading day of twenty ( 20 ) consecutive trading days at any time during the three ( 3 ) months following the initial issuance date exceeds $ 100 , (y) all accumulated regular dividends, if any, on the SATA Stock then outstanding for all prior completed regular dividend periods, if any, have been paid in full, and (z) the arithmetic average of the last reported sale prices per share of SATA Stock for each trading day during the immediately preceding regular dividend period is not less than $ 99 per share.
+Added: The Company’s current intention (which is subject to change in the Company’s sole and absolute discretion) is to adjust the monthly regular dividend rate per annum in such manner as the Company believes will maintain SATA Stock’s trading price within its stated long-term range of $ 95 and $ 105 per share.
+Added: Declared regular dividends on the SATA Stock will be payable solely in cash.
+Added: In the event that any accumulated regular dividend on the SATA Stock is not paid on the applicable regular dividend payment date, then additional regular dividends (“SATA compounded dividends”) will accumulate on the amount of such unpaid regular dividend, compounded monthly.
+Added: The compounded dividend rate applicable to any unpaid regular dividend that was due on a regular dividend payment date (or, if such regular dividend payment date is not a business day, the next business day) will initially be a rate per annum equal to 12.00 % plus 25 basis points;
+Added: provided, however, that, until such regular dividend, together with compounded dividends thereon, is paid in full, such compounded dividend rate will increase by 25 basis points per month for each subsequent regular dividend period, up to a maximum dividend rate of 20 % per annum.
+Added: The SATA Stock also has certain redemption and repurchase rights, in the manner, and subject to the terms, set forth in the SATA Stock certificate of designation.
