A1 CEO Mark Ayers

April 8, 2026

by A1's CEO Mark Ayers 

  I was talking on the phone with one of our portfolio clients

yesterday, and LRHC came up. She said, "Mark, now you know

I trust you 100%, and I've read all your bulletins on LRHC,

but I just can't seem to understand how a stock under 60 cents is going to jump in value to your range of $3 up to $147... Can you explain it in "middle of the road", most realistic, terms that a "10 year old" could understand?" ...Then it hit me. 

Although we've done exhaustive research on this stock, and merger subject, and posted numerous reports to our clients, and on Social Media, it's all still way over most folks' heads.

Now, don't get me wrong-- this nice lady was intelligent, she owned her own successful line of "Nail" shops, and was doing quite well...doing almost a million a month...BUT...she didn't understand this complex, almost unique merger. I could have

told her it was sort of like the Draft Kings (DKNG) story of

how it used a SPAC (remember DEAC?) and really flew when

online sports betting was hot. But she may not have fully understood that either...So, it was on me to explain things in terms everyday people could comprehend...things even

super smart millionaires were missing.

 So here goes, a re-creation of the LRHC/CCT "Super SPAC like" merger like Draft Kings did, using middle probability, put

in a "10 year old's terms" in her words: 

 "Once upon a time, (January 3rd, 2026) a boy named "Joey" owned a chain of lemonade stands in Florida,

called "Joey's Lemonade"(=LRHC).

 It had 5,350,000 shares which his friends all owned, because the lemonade was delicious, and they knew you would "make it big" one day. Lemonade was in a down trend though,

as Peach Iced Tea was the "hotter" drink of the time.

Still, his friend's shares were worth .96 each, so Joey's lemonade stand chain was worth: 5,350,000×.96= $5.13M...even though

he had $25M in lemonade inventory...which was slightly depreciating due to the Peach Tea craze. His next door

neighbor, we'll call him "Warren B"-- was an influential investor, a visionary in business.

 Warren had heard that Canada's top Hot Dog maker,

Maple Leaf (actual #1 Canadian Hot Dog company) was looking to bring its delicious, new "Lobster Hot Dogs" (= AI Data Centers) to America for expansion, because these luxury

Lobster Hot Dogs were selling for $18 in a combo with lemonade, all over the U.S. The lemonade and lobster were natural flavor partners...(= just how RE +Data Centers are).

 Warren invited the CEO of Maple Leaf, Curtis Frank

(the actual CEO...(is that name perfect, or what? )

= Wayne Lloyd CEO of CCT) to visit him in the U.S.

On the way to his house, Mr. Frank saw Joey's lemonade stand

and tried a cup..."Wow, it's delicious, I wonder if we can talk to your neighbor and strike a deal..." So, Mr. Frank met, and then said to Warren B:  “Our Lobster Hot Dogs are delicious and in demand, but they make you thirsty. We need some lemonade to sell them with — in a combo, and get the $18 price they're paying here...would the boy named Joey, selling lemonade outside, consider the partnership?"

--See, he really wanted to team up with your lemonade stand — because he needed a lemonade supply, and knowledge of lemonade (=RE Supply and RE expertise) but especially because your neighbor, "Warren B", was ready to invest big to take advantage of the "Lobster Hot Dog " (AI/Data Center) boom happening.

 So you and your Dad and his lawyers (=Maxim Group LLC), Warren B, and Mr. Frank and his lawyer( =DuMoulin Black LLP) all sat down and worked out a negotiation. All at the table want the deal to happen, so all 3 are ready to bend a bit...

 Now, these negotiations happened behind closed doors.

...But what we can infer from all the evidence is this: With Joey's dad and his lawyer behind him, Joey would not devalue his business too much. The LEAST he will accept is what his friends hold in value...($5.13m MC at the time)...but he needs money to buy more cups right now, and pay off the last guy he borrowed from, and buy some crypto which is really cheap right now, and he "knew" it's going up, so Warren B agrees-- and fronts you $11m...just .00088 of the total amount he's willing to put up to get in the "Lobster Hot Dog" game...but he mandates Joey does a Reverse Split to appease the Hot Dog deal about to happen - So Joey announces it, news spreads and Joey's stock drops to .43/share...it Reverse Splits 10-1 up to $4.30, spikes to $8, and falls again, due to geo-political reasons mainly.  So now his total shares are 535K, EV is around $11m, half of what it was...BUT his high interest toxic debt is gone, he bought his cups (capex), he bought out his old friend's profitable business (Prestige RE worth ~$5m) and he has the "promise" of crypto to make it all back, and more.

So we know Joey's value at the table is now between $5.13M & $16M after all existing debt. Mr. Frank and his  lawyer, show their valuation to be 30x to 70x that of yours...AND they are affiliated with Oscar Meyer (=NVIDIA) in the U.S. so the FULL value is immense!  Of course, they will still bend a bit to get access to Warren's money, and full U.S. market ties.

They all agree to a 3.1%-96.9% split, (32.26x)...

Meaning Maple Leaf Hot Dogs(=CCT) is 32.25x more valuable than Joey's hot dog stand chain(LRHC) and connections.

So Warren says: "OK, but for you to get me to convince all 50 State Fairs (=the Stock Market) to agree to sell the combos, I want to BUY 9.99% of this merger (=insider purchase, as filed with the SEC)" to be in on the massive upside...so INSTEAD of there going to be Maple Leaf's (CCT's)16.58M shares, and the lemonade stand's (LRHC's) 535K shares, I want 9.99% of the combination (1.71m shares=PIPE) which I'll pay $x (which=$9.02 to $28.17, depending on the "secret" CCT valuation ) for...so the total share count will be 18.825 million, and opening share price of Maple Leaf + Joey's Lemonade (CCT+LRHC) will be $9.02 to $28.17, and my 10% shares are locked up, due to all those

State Fair (=SEC) rules...

 Mr. Frank goes on to say "No one in our company will sell their shares, because we know the price of Lobster Hot Dog combos are rising almost daily right now, and we get lobster at 70% of the cost of the U.S. (=much cheaper Data Center cooling in frigid Canada)...Plus, besides Oscar Meyer (NVIDIA) we have connections with the Canadian Government (= former Parliament member Nathan Cullen) to sell these combos all over Canada...So we're going to double, triple, quadruple, or more, in no time!..."

 So, back to "adult" terms: After the merger, there will be ~18.82 million shares, LRHC shares held today would be worth between $8.79 to $27.30 fully diluted, no additional reverse split

needed, it was already done...ready to 2x, 3x, 4x from there.

​​

​                              🍋🌭 Why It Works:

CCT needs to get properties, and get "listed"...LRHC needs

and deserves a brighter future, a better industry, be connected to NVIDIA and Canadian Government contracts, through Finance Canada, and Stonepeak, Comcast, Arelion, and Cologix.  With their knowledge, connections with Maxim Group, and other benefactors, they're making it happen.
