Executive Summary

### Bottom Line
The team advanced a complex 90/10 acquisition proposal for the 'Coyote' business while simultaneously managing a year-end audit requiring significant documentation and adjustments. The day balanced strategic growth initiatives with critical financial compliance and tight cash flow management.

### Today's Highlights
- **Coyote Acquisition Strategy:** Presented Hudson with a 90/10 equity split model for Star Wagons, projecting $18M EBITDA by 2027 but facing direct competition from Galpin.
- **Audit & Financial Adjustments:** The year-end audit identified key areas requiring action, including AR reserve validation, debt restructuring documentation, and related party disclosures for Versatile Studios.
- **Cash Flow & Cost Management:** Realized ~$40K in monthly savings from accounting changes, though cash flow remains tight, highlighting the need for continued financial discipline.
- **Operational Restructuring:** Both the potential acquisition and internal operations require significant footprint consolidation and headcount reduction to meet financial targets.

### Watch List
- **Competitive Threat:** Galpin's cash-rich position presents a serious risk to the Coyote acquisition deal.
- **Financial Compliance:** Several audit adjustments and document requests are outstanding and could delay financial statement completion.
- **Implementation Gap:** The organization's struggle to effectively implement AI and define clear growth strategies for ancillary businesses (like life care planning) remains a blocker.
