• The company expects results for the full year ending May 31, 2025, may differ from interim results due to the variable nature of investment returns.

• Continued focus on expanding cryptocurrency mining operations and indirect mining strategies.

• No formal asset gathering targets; preference for organic growth through appreciation rather than aggressive fundraising.
