Citizenship or place of organization of each Reporting Person is set forth in Row 6 of that Reporting Person's cover page and is incorporated by reference.

The securities reported in this statement were acquired over time by the Reporting Persons and entities they control, using working capital of Forfront Capital, LLC, Stewards Investment Capital Limited, and Stewards International Funds PCC (on behalf of the Stewards Private Credit Fund), and subscription capital of those entities, and not with borrowed funds incurred for the purpose of purchasing the Common Stock except as described in the Issuer's filings. As disclosed in the Issuer's Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-291586), those acquisitions include, among other things: - purchases of Series A Preferred Stock by Forfront Capital, LLC and by Stewards International Funds PCC, including issuances described in the S-1 (among them subscriptions dated on or about July 14, 2025, August 4, 2025, September 2, 2025, November 14, 2025, and December 17, 2025, and earlier Series A issuances); -the Conversion Agreement dated August 25, 2025, pursuant to which Forfront Capital, LLC converted 10,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock into 10,000,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock; - Common Stock held of record by Forfront Capital, LLC, Stewards Investment Capital Limited, and Stewards International Funds PCC; - common warrants and pre-funded warrants issued in connection with private placements and related financings of the Issuer; and - warrants issued in connection with the Loan Agreement dated September 17, 2025, between the Issuer and Stewards International Funds PCC (on behalf of the Stewards Private Credit Fund), as amended, including debt-facility warrants issued as draws were made. No Reporting Person paid cash for Common Stock in a single negotiated purchase of the type described in a new issuance at a stated per-share price covering the entire 106,000,868-share beneficial position. The 106,000,868 figure is the Rule 13d-3 total of outstanding Common Stock plus securities exercisable or convertible within 60 days (Series A Preferred Stock, warrants, and pre-funded warrants) and excludes the Barsoum nominee position and the Series B Preferred Stock. The descriptions in the S-1 and in the Issuer's Current Reports on Form 8-K relating to those issuances are incorporated by reference.

The Reporting Persons acquired and hold the securities reported in this statement for investment and in connection with Mr. Steward's role as Chairman of the Board and a director of the Issuer and the Reporting Persons' historical financing of the Issuer. Mr. Steward serves as Chairman and director and, in that capacity, participates in ordinary Board decisions concerning the Issuer's business, capitalization, compensation, listing, and governance. Forfront Capital, LLC is party to a Voting Agreement dated August 25, 2025 under which it votes 10,000,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock (50 votes per share) at the direction of a majority of the Issuer's founders (Glen Steward, Vincent Napolitano, and Shaun Quin). The Issuer's President holds an irrevocable proxy to vote those Series B shares in accordance with that direction. Forfront Capital, LLC does not own of record, and the Reporting Persons do not have an economic interest in, Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock within 60 days of the date of this statement. Those Series B shares are not included in Rows 7 through 13. The President holds the irrevocable proxy and has voting power over those Series B shares solely as proxyholder, exercisable at the founders' direction. As disclosed in the Issuer's Form S-1/A, holders of the Series B Preferred Stock collectively control approximately 87% of the total voting power of the Issuer. Except as described above, the Reporting Persons have no present plans or proposals that relate to or would result in: (a) the acquisition by any person of additional securities of the Issuer, or the disposition of securities of the Issuer, except that the Reporting Persons may from time to time acquire additional securities or dispose of securities in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, upon exercise or conversion of existing securities, or otherwise, depending on market conditions and the Issuer's business; (b) an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization, or liquidation, involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; (c) a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; (d) any change in the present board of directors or management of the Issuer, except for ordinary Board processes and Mr. Steward's continuing service as Chairman; (e) any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer, except for conversions, exercises, and Plan awards in the ordinary course as disclosed in the Issuer's filings; (f) any other material change in the Issuer's business or corporate structure; (g) changes in the Issuer's charter, bylaws, or instruments corresponding thereto or other actions that may impede the acquisition of control of the Issuer by any person, except the existing Series B voting structure and Voting Agreement described above; (h) causing a class of securities of the Issuer to be delisted from a national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system; (i) a class of equity securities of the Issuer becoming eligible for termination of registration under Section 12(g)(4) of the Act; or (j) any action similar to any of those enumerated above. The Reporting Persons may change their purpose or formulate plans or proposals of the type described in (a)-(j) at any time. Any such change would be reported by amendment to this statement as required by Rule 13d-2.

Rows 11 and 13 of each Reporting Person's cover page are incorporated by reference. The Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own, in the aggregate, 106,000,868 shares of Common Stock, or approximately 35.9% of the class, consisting of: - 22,012,500 shares of Common Stock held of record by Forfront Capital, LLC, Stewards Investment Capital Limited, and/or Stewards International Funds PCC; - 71,250,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of 71,250,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock (convertible one-for-one; the 24-month period from the Initial Issuance Date of June 5, 2023 ended June 5, 2025; no remaining conversion limitation following the Certificate of Amendment filed September 10, 2026); - warrants exercisable for 8,147,368 shares of Common Stock (privately placed common warrants exercisable within 60 days; excludes debt-facility warrants, which are not exercisable until the later of the Loan Agreement maturity date or a Liquidity Event); and - pre-funded warrants exercisable for 4,591,000 shares of Common Stock. That amount excludes (i) 630,000 shares of Common Stock, warrants exercisable for 630,000 shares, and pre-funded warrants exercisable for 9,000 shares held of record by Stewards Investment Capital Limited as nominee for Wael Barsoum, which are reported on Mr. Barsoum's separate Form 3, and (ii) 10,000,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock held of record by Forfront Capital, LLC, which are not convertible into Common Stock within 60 days of the date of this statement and are not included in the beneficial-ownership totals. The percentage is based on 211,149,963 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of August 12, 2026, as reported in the Issuer's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, plus, solely for this group, the 71,250,000 Series A shares, 8,147,368 warrant shares, and 4,591,000 pre-funded warrant shares deemed outstanding under Rule 13d-3. Each of Messrs. Steward, Adam, and Tsang Mang Kin disclaims beneficial ownership of the securities except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein. This statement is not an admission that any Reporting Person is the beneficial owner of such securities for any purpose other than Section 13(d), except as required. Row 12 is checked solely because Row 11 excludes (i) the Barsoum nominee position and (ii) the Series B Preferred Stock, which is not convertible into Common Stock within 60 days. Row 11 does not include securities held of record by any spouse or household child of a Reporting Person; none are known to hold Issuer securities.

Rows 7 through 10 of each Reporting Person's cover page are incorporated by reference. Each Reporting Person has shared voting power and shared dispositive power over 106,000,868 shares and sole voting power and sole dispositive power over none.

Except as disclosed in the Issuer's Exchange Act reports, none of the Reporting Persons has effected any transaction in the Common Stock during the past 60 days.

Investors in the Stewards Private Credit Fund and clients of Stewards Investment Capital Limited have the right to receive dividends from, or proceeds from the sale of, a portion of the securities held of record by Stewards International Funds PCC or Stewards Investment Capital Limited. Wael Barsoum has the pecuniary interest in the excluded nominee position. The Whitefoord Trust 2025, The Hollywood Adam Trust 2025, and The Wooton Trust 2025, as members of Forfront Capital, LLC, and Whitefoord Family Management LLC and Mary Louise Gleissner, as trustee and Managing Member of the trustee, may have the right to receive proceeds of a sale of Forfront assets or to consent to a substantial sale of those assets. Beneficiaries of those trusts do not hold Issuer securities of record and are not Reporting Persons. Stewards Global Holdings Limited, as sole shareholder of Stewards Investment Capital Limited and Stewards International Funds PCC, may have the right to receive dividends or sale proceeds from those entities.
