A sharp turnaround drove net income to $580,542 in Q2 2026, compared with a $153,584 profit a year ago, fueled by a 49.1% gross margin and a one-time $494,829 employee retention credit. While revenue slipped 21.6% to $1.97 million, tighter cost controls and a favorable product mix lifted profitability. Cash more than doubled to $714,411, and working capital swelled to $1.4 million. Even with the stronger bottom line, the company still warns of substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern and discloses persistent material weaknesses in internal controls. The subsequent acquisition of Sunrise Paddleboards for 43 million shares and a new seven-year lease signal expansion ambitions, but the control environment remains a risk.
