The balance of the liability assumed by the Company amounted to a principal of $1,658,105 and accrued interest thereon of $44,614. The balance accrued interest at 4.75% per annum and is repayable in thirteen installments, the first installment of $44,614 was paid prior to the consummation of the acquisition transaction and a further twelve installments commencing on February 1, 2025 to December 1, 2026.
