Cash Position Improved to $7.6M
Cash at June 30, 2026 stood at $7,585,264, up from $319,294 at year-end 2025, primarily due to the April 2026 IPO that raised $20 million gross.

Analysis · DETX · Manufacturing
The second quarter brought a net loss of $2.2 million for Liberty Defense, pushing the six-month deficit to $4.9 million. More critically, the auditor's review flags a material uncertainty that casts significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern. While the April IPO lifted cash to $7.6 million, operating cash burn remained steep at $8.0 million for the first half. This going concern warning is a critical red flag that overrides the improved liquidity, as the company's survival still depends on obtaining additional financing.
