Analysis · GAIA · Trade & Services
The second-quarter loss more than doubled to $3.0 million from $1.8 million a year ago, while revenue fell 5.3% to $23.3 million. Since year-end, the cash balance has been cut by more than half, dropping to $5.3 million, as operating activities burned $3.9 million in the first half of 2026. Heavy spending on marketing and capital projects is colliding with shrinking revenue — a combination that raises questions about how long the current cash runway will last without additional financing.
