Analysis · SOBR · Manufacturing
SOBR Safe's Q2 2026 10-Q reveals the company is in severe financial distress. Cash has dwindled to $429,068 from $4.76 million at year-end, and management states substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern within the next twelve months. The company wrote off its entire SOBRsafe intellectual technology intangible asset ($1.1 million impairment) and inventory ($142,222) after deciding to discontinue its legacy alcohol monitoring operations. The net loss widened to $5.35 million for the first half of 2026, up 38% from the prior year.
