Analysis · NYC · Real Estate & Construction
A net loss of $8.3 million marked the second quarter of 2026, while revenue nearly halved year-over-year to $7.3 million. Adjusted EBITDA swung to a positive $2.4 million, yet the external advisor's decision to accept $4.0 million in stock instead of cash—though it preserves liquidity—highlights persistent cash constraints. The company continues to operate under a going-concern warning, holding just $2.4 million in cash against $251 million in debt. Regaining NYSE compliance in July removes an immediate delisting threat, but the financial picture remains fragile.
