-
Nasdaq Delisting Threat Reiterated

Analysis
The company's annual report reveals substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern, driven by recurring net losses and significant cash outflows. Revenues plummeted by approximately 70% year-over-year, from $15.44 million in 2024 to $4.61 million in 2025. Recent and pending equity financings, including a $1.23 million PIPE and stock-based acquisitions, are highly dilutive, representing a potential increase of over 40% in current outstanding shares. This financial distress is compounded by an ongoing Nasdaq minimum bid price deficiency, previously disclosed, which threatens the company's listing.
