Priority action items

Ranked most urgent first
Pioneer Real Estate, Inc. — dissolve-or-revive decision is overdueCritical

Still Active at the CA Secretary of State (entity 2719380), but its Statement of Information has been delinquent for 1.5+ years and no corporate return has been filed for TY2021–TY2025 (last one on file: TY2020, marked "final" but never confirmed accepted). A Certificate of Dissolution was drafted by CPA Brooke Horspool in March 2021 but never executed. The entity is still operationally live — a Village Plaza Associates commercial lease, a Wells Fargo notice, and a Frontier bill are current — so this isn't just paperwork. Do not file a new Statement of Information until an attorney confirms active-vs-dissolved status; Brooke needs a decision on filing the back returns vs. formal dissolution.

Owner: Lance, with Brooke Horspool (CPA) — open as of Sept 10, 2026 memo
Cobalt Escrow, Inc. & Cobalt Group of Southern California, LLC — confirm initial Statement of Information was filedVerify now

Both entities (formed 5/14/2026, same Riverside address, agent Wayne Tucker, Esq.) had an initial SOI due 8/12/2026 per the July tracker — that date is now over a month past and no filing has been uploaded to either entity's Drive folder since. Confirm with Wayne Tucker / RMA Compliance that both were filed on time. Also: don't sign the draft LLC operating agreement for Cobalt Group of Southern California, LLC until Lance, Drew and Drake have reviewed it and the correct legal entity name is confirmed with counsel.

Owner: Lance / Wayne Tucker, Esq.
DLD Ventures, Inc. — unresolved IRS letter on S-corp election validityNeeds resolution

An IRS letter from September 2025 questioning the validity of the S-corp election period remains open and unresolved. SOI/SOS standing is otherwise current through 4/30/2027 — this is a tax-election matter for Brooke Horspool and/or counsel, not a state filing issue.

Owner: Brooke Horspool (CPA)
Three signatures needed on drafted-but-unsigned corporate documentsMonitor

Lance Martin, Inc.'s 6/18/26 special meeting minutes (removing Julie Martin as Secretary), and Certificates of Amendment for both DLD Management, Inc. and DLD Partners, Inc. (100 → 1,000 authorized shares, 3-for-1 split) are drafted but still unsigned. Drake Martin (President) and Lance Martin (Secretary) need to sign the DLD amendments before they can be filed.

Owner: Drake Martin / Lance Martin
2024 & 2025 tax filings are prepared — just need signaturesReady to file

Brooke Horspool completed a large catch-up push today: 2025 S-corp returns for all four active corporations, and both the 2024 and 2025 personal returns for Lance & Julie Martin, are all sitting ready. Nothing is late yet — they're all waiting on e-file signature authorizations. See the filing status section below for amounts due.

Owner: Lance (and Julie, for the joint personal return)
