Reginald gave background story of Angels in Progress, explaining that Angels and Progress is renting property owned by Brighten at Brookmont. Balloon payment should have been received from AIP on November 9, but we never received it. 

AIP is in the process of receiving the loan. The loan will be in default if not received by November 29. They have asked for an extension to December 10, 2024. 

Reginald is waiting on confirmation from the bank they are requesting the loan from to confirm that they have been approved.

Cary suggested that we look into the funds we already received to see if we can make the proper upgrades ourselves to make the property more marketable. 

We will give AIP a 90-day extension, starting November 1, 2024, if AIP makes the November balloon payment and December payment. 

Jamilia and Reginald will contact counsel and our CFO to explore our options and what impact different scenarios will have on our finances.
