-
Material Weakness in Internal Controls

Analysis
QUOTEMEDIA INC's annual report reveals a critical financial situation, with both management and auditors expressing substantial doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern. The net loss significantly widened to $2.32 million in 2025 from $1.33 million in 2024, and the working capital deficit worsened to $4.37 million. The company also disclosed a material weakness in its internal control over financial reporting due to a lack of segregation of duties. While revenue saw an 8% increase, this positive is overshadowed by the deteriorating financial health and the explicit need for additional financing, which could lead to substantial dilution from the 36.08 million potential common shares from outstanding convertible preferred stock and options/warrants. Investors should be highly cautious given these severe financial and operational red flags.
