Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim reporting. As permitted under those rules, certain footnotes or other financial information that are normally required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) can be condensed or omitted. In the opinion of management, the financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments that are considered necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position and operating results. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

the same as those for the full year or any future periods.
5
Liquidity
The Company’s
operations have historically been financed through the issuance of common stock and preferred stock. Since inception, the Company
has incurred significant losses and negative cash flows from operations. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the
Company incurred a net loss of $374 ( 373,910 )
thousand, and used cash from operations of $371 ( 371,058 )
thousand, which was offset by $350 350,000
thousand in cash provided from financing activities. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $97 97,066,966
million and cash and cash equivalents of $9 9,104 thousand. The Company will continue to monitor its costs in relation to its sales
and adjust its cost structure accordingly.
Non-binding Letter of Intent
On March 25, 2025,
the Company entered into a non-binding letter of intent (“LOI”) with Hongyan Sun and Lin Lin (collectively, the
“Sellers”), pursuant to the terms of which the Sellers will transfer 100% of their equity interests in Suzhou Yixuntong
Network Technology Co., Ltd. (the “Target Company”) to the Company (the “Potential Transaction”) for a
purchase price not to exceed $2,000,000. The Company shall make a prepayment of $300,000 to the Sellers upon the signing of the LOI
and the prepayment had not been paid as of March 31, 2025.
Upon the signing of this LOI,
the Target Company and the Sellers (i) have granted the access of the Target Company’s service ports to the Company; (ii) have connected
the Company to the Target Company’s Software as a Service platform; (iii) and is working with the Company to ensure it can carry
out the Multi-Channel Network business in the second quarter of 2025.
The Potential Transaction
is subject to the Company’s satisfactory completion of legal, tax, financial, operation, human resources and administration, and
environmental due diligence of Target Company and such other due diligence as the Company may deem necessary.
The Company and the Sellers
expect to complete the Potential Transaction as soon as reasonably practicable, but in no event later than six (6) months after signing
of the LOI (the “Long-Stop Date”). The Sellers have agreed that that, from the date of the LOI through the Long-stop Date,
or the date when the Company informs the Sellers that the exclusivity expires, whichever occurs earlier, the Sellers shall refrain, directly
or indirectly from (i) soliciting offers from third parties to acquire Target Company and/or its business, and from offering Target Company
or its business to any person, firm, group or corporation other than the Company; and (ii) entering into any agreement aimed at selling
or otherwise transferring Target Company or the business or that may otherwise prevent the parties from consummating the Potential Transaction.
The Company expects to announce
additional details regarding the Potential Transaction if and when a definitive agreement is executed. No assurances can be made that
the Company will successfully negotiate and enter into a definitive agreement with respect to the Potential Transaction, or that the Potential
Transaction will be consummated on the terms or timeframe currently contemplated, or at all. Any transaction is subject to board and shareholder
holder approval of the Company, regulatory approvals and other customary conditions.
(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Company’s significant
accounting policies are disclosed in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. The Company’s significant
accounting policies did not change during the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
There have been no other new
accounting pronouncements that have significance, or potential significance, to the Company’s financial position, results of operations
and cash flows .
(3) REVENUE AND OTHER CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS
Revenue recognized for each distinct
performance obligation as control is transferred to the customer. Revenue attributable to hardware products bundled with Software-as-a-Service
(“SaaS”) offerings are recognized at the time control of the product transfers to the customer. The transaction price allocated
to the SaaS offering is recognized ratably beginning when the customer is expected to activate their account and over a period of one
to three years that the Company has estimated based on the expected replacement of the hardware.
6
Transaction Price Allocated to the Remaining Performance Obligations
The remaining performance obligations represent the transaction price allocated to performance obligations that are unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied as of the end of the reporting period. Unsatisfied and partially unsatisfied performance obligations consist of contract liabilities, in-transit orders with destination terms, and non-cancellable backlog. Non-cancellable backlog includes goods for which customer purchase orders have been accepted, that are scheduled or in the process of being scheduled for shipment, and that are not yet invoiced.
Contract costs
The Company recognizes the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer if the Company expects the benefit of those costs to be longer than one year. The Company has determined that certain sales commissions meet the requirements to be capitalized, and the Company amortizes these costs on a consistent basis with the pattern of transfer of the goods and services in the contract. Total capitalized costs to obtain a contract were immaterial during the periods presented and are included in other current and long-term assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The Company applies a practical expedient to expense costs as incurred for costs to obtain a contract when the amortization period is one year or less. These costs include sales commissions on SaaS contracts with a contract period of one year or less as sales commissions on contract renewals are commensurate with those paid on the initial contract.
Contract Balances
The Company records accounts receivable when it has an unconditional right to the consideration. The Company did no t have contract liabilities at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

( 6) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
(a) Commitments
The Company was a party to a license agreement with Motorola Mobility LLC pursuant to which the Company has an exclusive license to use certain trademarks owned by Motorola Trademark Holdings, LLC for the manufacture, sale and marketing of consumer cable modem products, consumer routers, WiFi range extenders, MoCa adapters, cellular sensors, home powerline network adapters, and access points worldwide through a wide range of authorized sales channels. The license agreement had a term ending December 31, 2025 prior to its cancellation in 2023.
In connection with the license agreement, the Company had committed to reserve a certain percentage of wholesale prices for use in advertising, merchandising and promotion of the related products. Additionally, the Company was required to make quarterly royalty payments equal to a certain percentage of the preceding quarter’s net sales with minimum annual royalty payments. Following the Company’s agreement with Motorola Mobility LLC on January 22, 2024, the Company’s quarterly royalty payments, in addition to current and future obligations, were satisfied in exchange for certain assets of the Company.
The Company did not incur
royalty expenses under the License Agreement for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.
On January 22, 2024, the Company, entered into a Letter Agreement re Product Purchase (the “Letter Agreement”) and a Debt Settlement Agreement (the “Settlement Agreement,” and the Letter Agreement, the “Agreements”) with Motorola Mobility, LLC (“Motorola”). Pursuant to the Letter Agreement, the Company (A) initially transferred a portion of its inventory to Motorola and (B) agreed to transfer the reminder of such inventory upon receipt of certain funding in order to satisfy liabilities owed to Motorola, while agreeing to continue to provide certain customer and technical support. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, the Company agreed (i) to pay Motorola a settlement amount of $1,167,071 and (ii) to transfer additional funds as collected from the Company’s customers in an amount up to $263,752. The Company believes that the Agreements, together with arrangements it has finalized with other major vendors, will allow the Company to streamline its operations while reducing its current liabilities.
(b) Vendor Obligation Releases
In its efforts to manage its
liquidity and cash-flow position, the Company negotiated and executed liability release agreements with certain vendors in Q4 2023 who
comprised $ 5.0 million of outstanding accounts payable as of December 31, 2023. In aggregate, the executed release agreements resulted
in a reduction of outstanding accounts payable obligations by $3.6 million from $5.0 million to $1.4 million. The executed release agreements
became effective and are contingent upon payment of the $ 1.4 million negotiated amounts received during the period of Q1 2024. In addition,
the Company agreed to pay certain vendors an additional adjusted $ 0.3 million contingent upon successful collection of customer receivables.

consolidated balance sheets. In July 2024, the Company paid the contingent amount
of $ 0.3 million to its vendors.

(c) Contingencies
The Company is party to various lawsuits and administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company evaluates such lawsuits and proceedings on a case-by-case basis, and its policy is to vigorously contest any such claims which it believes are without merit.
The Company reviews the status of its legal proceedings and records a provision for a liability when it is considered probable that both a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. This review is updated periodically as additional information becomes available. If both criteria are not met, the Company reassesses whether there is at least a reasonable possibility that a loss, or additional losses, may be incurred. If there is a reasonable possibility that a loss may be incurred, the Company discloses the estimate of the amount of the loss or range of losses - that the amount is not material, or that an estimate of the loss cannot be made. At March 31, 2025, the Company is not currently a party to any legal proceedings that, if determined adversely to the Company, in management’s opinion, are currently expected to individually or in the aggregate have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, operating results or financial condition taken as a whole. The Company expenses its legal fees as incurred.
In the ordinary course of its business, the Company is subject to lawsuits, arbitrations, claims, and other legal proceedings in connection with their business. Some of the legal actions include claims for substantial or unspecified compensatory and/or punitive damages. A substantial adverse judgment or other unfavorable resolution of these matters could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. Management believes that the Company has adequate legal defenses with respect to the legal proceedings to which it is a defendant or respondent, and that the outcome of these pending proceedings is not likely to have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows of the Company. However, the Company is unable to predict the outcome of these matters.

(10) EQUITY
Preferred Stock and Warrants
On January 23, 2024, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with David Lazar (“Lazar”), a member of our Board of Directors, whereby, at the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement (the “Closing”), the Company sold and Lazar (or to any transferee of Lazar’s which acquires the Securities Purchase Rights, as defined below, hereinafter a “Lazar Transferee”) purchased 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s preferred stock, $ 0.001 par value per share (the “Preferred Stock”), at a price per share of $ 1.40 , for an aggregate purchase price of $ 2,800,000 , subject to the conditions described below, pursuant to the exemptions afforded by the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Regulation S thereunder. Under the Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to designate 2,000,000 of the Preferred Stock as Series A Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) for the sale to Lazar (or a Lazar Transferee). Each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at the option of the holder, into 1.4 shares of common stock of the Company, $.01 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), and vote on an “as-if-converted” basis and shall have full ratchet protection in any subsequent offerings. Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company shall also issue Lazar (or a Lazar Transferee) warrants to purchase up to an additional 2,800,000 shares of Common Stock, with an exercise price equal to $1.00 per share, subject to adjustment therein (the “Warrants”, and together with the Series A Preferred Stock, the “Purchased Securities”).
11
The Company evaluated the Series A Preferred Stock and Warrants for liability or equity classification in accordance with the provisions of ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity , and determined that equity treatment was appropriate because neither the Series A Preferred Stock nor the Warrants met the definition of liability instruments.
The Warrants are classified as component of permanent equity because they are freestanding financial instruments that are legally detachable and separately exercisable from the shares of common stock with which they were issued, are immediately exercisable, do not embody an obligation for the Company to repurchase its shares, and permit the holder to receive a fixed number of shares of common stock upon exercise. In addition, the Warrants do not provide any guarantee of value or return. The Company valued the Warrants at issuance using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and determined the fair value of the Warrants to purchase 2,800,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at $ 4.7 million. The key inputs to the valuation model included a weighted average volatility of 162.0 % and an expected term of 3.0 years.
The proceeds from the issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock to the Company were allocated based on the relative fair value of the Warrants as compared to the fair value of the Series A Preferred Stock. The fair value of the Warrants incorporates assumptions regarding our common stock price, dividend yield, stock price volatility, as well as assumptions regarding the risk-free interest rate. Using this model, the Warrants was valued at $ 1.4 million at January 23, 2024 and was included in additional paid in capital on our condensed consolidated balance sheet.
The fair value of the Series A Preferred Stock was determined based on assumptions that incorporated our common stock price and dividend rate. The Company valued the Series A Preferred Stock at $ 4.5 million. Based on the fair value model to allocate the Series A Preferred Stock proceeds, the Series A Preferred Stock was valued at $ 1.4 million at January 23, 2024 and was included in Series A Preferred Stock on our condensed consolidated balance sheet.
On February 26, 2024, the Company held a special meeting of stockholders, who voted and approved (i) the issuance of shares of our common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”) upon conversion of Series A Preferred Stock or exercise of the Warrants to be issued at Closing of the Purchase Agreement, which conversions or exercise would result in a “change of control” of the Company under the applicable rules of Nasdaq and (ii) an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to effect the increase in authorized shares of Preferred Stock to 10,000,000 .
On February 18, 2025, the
Company entered into an Amended and Restated Securities Purchase Agreement (the “February 18, 2025 SPA”) with David Lazar
(“Seller”) on the one hand, and Cao Yu, Hu Bin, and Youxin Consulting Limited (collectively, “Purchasers”), on
the other hand, whereby Seller, a director and former officer of the Company, sold to the Purchasers (i) 2,219,447 shares (the “Seller
Preferred Stock”) of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Preferred Stock”) of the
Company, (ii) a warrant to purchase up to an additional 2,800,000 shares of Common Stock, with an exercise price equal to $1.00 per share,
subject to adjustment therein (the “Warrant”), and (iii) certain amounts owed by the Company to Seller (the “Lazar Receivables”).
On April 10, 2025, Seller transferred 31,258 additional shares of Preferred Stock (the “Additional Shares” and collectively
with the Seller Preferred Stock and the Warrant, the “Securities”) to Purchasers. The aggregate purchase price for the Securities
and the Lazar Receivables paid to Seller was $500,000 (the “Purchase Price”), of which $300,000 was directed by Seller to
be contributed to the Company in exchange for 1,200,000 newly issued shares of Common Stock to be issued to Seller (the “Lazar Common
Stock”). Pursuant to the February 18, 2025 SPA, in the event certain milestones were achieved, Seller was to be issued newly issued shares of Common
Stock (the “Earnout Shares”).
On May 9, 2025, the Company
entered into a Second Amended and Restated Securities Purchase Agreement with Seller and Purchasers to remove references to the issuance
of the Lazar Common Stock, which issuance was rescinded and replaced with the Convertible Note described below, and remove references
to the Earnout Shares. Pursuant to such Second Amended and Restated Purchase Agreement, Seller sells and delivers to Purchasers, and
Purchasers purchases and accepts all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the Lazar Receivables and the Securities for
the Purchase Price, which Seller acknowledges and agrees had been previously paid by Purchasers. Purchasers agree that they will surrender
the Warrant to the Company for cancellation and irrevocably waive and forgive the Lazar Receivables for the benefit of the Company.

Overview
We historically delivered
comprehensive WiFi/Software as a Service platform to make everyone’s connected home safe and supportive for life and work. We
continue to grow and expand our Software as a Service (“SaaS”) operations as a digital service provider focused on
integrating artificial intelligence and data analytics into content creation and brand management.
Generally, our gross margin for a given product depends on a number of factors, including the type of customer to whom we were selling. The gross margin for products sold to retailers tended to be higher than for some of our other customers; but the sales, support, returns, and overhead costs associated with products sold to retailers also tended to be higher.
Our cash and cash equivalents balance on March 31, 2025 was $9 thousand compared to $30 thousand on December 31, 2024. On March 31, 2025, we had no outstanding borrowings and working capital of negative $743 thousand.
The Company’s ability to maintain adequate levels of liquidity depends in part on our ability to generate cash from operations and its ability to raise additional funds through equity or debt financing. The Company is evaluating options related to its liquidity. The Company will continue to monitor its costs in relation to its sales and adjust its cost structure accordingly.
The Company continues to experience losses, which in part is due to declining revenues. In the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, we generated net sales of $125 and $640 thousand, respectively.
Our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, as filed with the SEC on April 10, 2025, provides additional information about our business and operations.

Recent Accounting Standards
See Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 of Part 1 of this Report on 10-Q, for a full description of recent accounting standards, including the expected dates of adoption and estimated effects on the financial condition and results of operations, which are hereby incorporated by reference.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These accounting principles require us to make certain estimates and judgments that can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the periods presented. Management bases its estimates, assumptions and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. To the extent there are material differences between these estimates and actual results, our financial statements may be affected. Our management evaluates its estimates, assumptions and judgments on an ongoing basis.
Our critical accounting policies and estimates, which are revenue recognition, product returns, inventory valuation and costs of goods sold, warrants, valuation of deferred tax assets are described under “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, there have been no significant changes in our critical accounting policies and estimates.

The majority of the Company’s revenues by geographic area are earned in North America for the three months ended March 31, 2024. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company recognized revenue under a service agreement executed in March 2025, which governs content creation, account operations, and commercial monetization services.
Net Sales
Our total net sales
decreased year-over-year by $640 thousand or 100%. The decrease in net sales primarily reflects the Company’s strategic
transition from legacy hardware operations to software-as-a-service (SaaS) solutions, with new business focus on
integrating artificial intelligence and big data into content creation and brand management.
Notably, during March 2025, the new business successfully secured its first customer orders and generated initial sales,
marking a critical milestone in the strategic pivot. Our target clients are individuals or entities seeking to grow their online
presence as influencers or content creators. As of April 30, 2025, the Company has onboarded 39 customers, corresponding to
prepaid service fees totaling $203 thousand, which underscore the early traction of our SaaS offerings. Subsequent to March 31, 2025,
incremental customer acquisitions and advanced payments further validate the scalability of the SaaS platform.
Cost of Goods Sold and Gross Margin
Cost of goods sold consisted
primarily of the following: the cost of direct labor; the cost of finished products from our third-party manufacturers; overhead
costs, including purchasing, product planning, inventory control, warehousing and distribution logistics; third-party software
licensing fees; inbound freight; import duties/tariffs; warranty costs associated with returned goods; write-downs for excess and
obsolete inventory; amortization of certain acquired intangibles and software development costs; and costs attributable to the
provision of service offerings.
The decrease in gross profit
was attributable to less sales, largely resulting from the Motorola license termination. Our gross margin can be affected by a
number of factors, including fluctuation in labor cost, foreign exchange rates, sales returns, changes in average selling prices,
end-user customer rebates and other channel sales incentives, changes in our cost of goods sold due to fluctuations and increases in
prices paid for components, overhead costs, inbound freight and duty/tariffs, conversion costs, and charges for excess or obsolete
inventory.

Gross profit decreased in the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the three months ended in the prior fiscal year period, primarily due to insufficient sales levels necessary to cover fixed costs and certain variable costs.
The gross margin of Q1 2025 is not representative of future trends, as the new business was in its initial launch phase during this period, incurring elevated upfront costs associated with market entry, product deployment, and operational ramp-up. Forecasting gross margin percentages is difficult, and there are several risks related to our ability to maintain or improve our current gross margin levels. Our cost of goods sold, as a percentage of net sales, can vary significantly based upon factors such as: uncertainties surrounding revenue volumes, including future pricing and/or potential discounts as a result of the economy, competition, the timing of sales, and related production level variances; and changes in technology components.
Selling and Marketing
Selling and marketing expenses consist primarily of advertising, trade shows, corporate communications and other marketing expenses, product marketing expenses, outbound freight costs, amortization of certain intangibles, personnel expenses for sales and marketing staff, technical support expenses, and facility allocations. The following table presents sales and marketing expenses, for the periods indicated:

Selling and marketing expenses decreased in the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024, primarily due to reductions in sales support costs of $21 thousand.
For the remainder of the fiscal year 2025, we expect our selling and marketing expenses may fluctuate depending on sales levels achieved as certain expenses, such as commissions, and are determined based upon the net sales achieved. Forecasting both selling and marketing expenses is highly dependent on expected net sales levels and could vary significantly depending on actual net sales achieved in any given quarter. Marketing expenses may also fluctuate depending upon the timing, extent and nature of marketing programs.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses consist of salaries and related expenses for executives, finance and accounting, human resources, information technology, professional fees, including legal costs associated with defending claims against us, allowance for doubtful accounts, facility allocations, and other general corporate expenses.

General and administrative
expenses decreased $678 thousand primarily due to the reallocation of our business operation from hardware - focus to software -
focus and cost reduction effort, which significantly reduced expenses associated with personnel, administrative support, and related
infrastructure.
Future general and administrative expense increases or decreases in absolute dollars are difficult to predict due to the lack of visibility of certain costs, including legal costs associated with defending claims against us, and other factors.
18
Research and Development
Research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel expenses, payments to suppliers for design services, safety and regulatory testing, product certification expenditures to qualify our products for sale into specific markets, prototypes, IT, and other consulting fees. Research and development expenses are recognized as they are incurred. Our research and development organization is focused on enhancing our ability to introduce innovative and easy-to-use products and services.

The decrease of $42 thousand was primarily due to decreases in software subscriptions and support costs. For Q1 2025, we entered into a collaboration with a new vendor to develop the “FiEE All-in-One Media Operations SaaS Platform”, which is designed to provide content creation, multi-platform publishing, data analytics, and collaboration tools for media teams and individual creators.
Research and development expenses may fluctuate depending on the timing and number of development activities and could vary significantly as a percentage of net sales, depending on actual net sales achieved in any given year.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents. As of March 31, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $9 thousand as compared to $30 thousand on December 31, 2024. On March 31, 2025, we had no borrowings outstanding and working capital of negative $743 thousand. We have funded our operations and financing activities primarily through sale of preferred stock and common stock.
Our historical cash outflows have primarily been associated with: (1) cash used for operating activities such as the purchase and growth of inventory, expansion of our sales and marketing and research and development infrastructure and other working capital needs; (2) expenditures related to increasing our manufacturing capacity and improving our manufacturing efficiency; (3) capital expenditures related to the acquisition of equipment; (4) cash used to repay our debt obligations and related interest expense; and (5) cash used for acquisitions. Fluctuations in our working capital due to timing differences of our cash receipts and cash disbursements also impact our cash inflows and outflows.
Our consolidated financial statements, as of March 31, 2025, were prepared under the assumption that we will continue as a going concern. The going concern assumption contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, substantial doubt exists about our ability to continue as a going concern, and we will require additional liquidity to continue operations beyond the next 12 months.
Our consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2025, do not include any adjustments to the carrying amounts and classification of assets, liabilities, and reported expenses that may be necessary if we were unable to continue as a going concern. If we are unable to continue as a going concern, we may have to liquidate our assets and may receive less than the value at which those assets are carried on our financial statements, and it is likely that investors will lose all or part of their investment.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities. Cash used from operating activities of $371 thousand during the three months ended March 31, 2025 reflected our net loss of $374 thousand, adjusted for non-cash expenses, consisting primarily of $60 thousand in depreciation and amortization expense. Uses of cash included a decrease in accounts payable of $43 thousand and other assets of $88 thousand. Sources of cash included decrease of prepaid expenses and other current assets of $40 thousand.
Cash used from operating activities of $2.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024 reflected our net loss of $3.3 million, adjusted for non-cash expenses, consisting primarily of $426 thousand of stock-based compensation expense, $104 thousand in depreciation and amortization expense, and $2.4 million in vendor forgiveness, net of asset transfers. Uses of cash included a decrease in accounts payable of $3.2 million and accrued expenses of $66 thousand. Sources of cash included primarily a decrease of accounts receivable of $709 thousand, and inventories of $404 thousand.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company had no cash flows generated or used by investing activities.
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company had no cash flows generated or used by investing activities.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities. Cash provided from financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2025 consisted of proceeds from issuance of common stock of $350 thousand.
Cash provided from financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2024 consisted of proceeds from issuance of preferred stock of $2.8 million.
Future Liquidity Needs
Our primary short-term needs for capital, which are subject to change, include expenditures related to:
● upgrades to our information technology infrastructure to
enhance our capabilities and improve overall productivity;
●
support of our commercialization efforts related to our current and future products, including expansion of our direct sales force and field support resources;
●
the continued advancement of research and development activities.
Our capital expenditures are largely discretionary and within our control. We expect that our product sales and the resulting operating loss, as well as the status of each of our product development programs, will significantly impact our cash management decisions.
20
At March 31, 2025, we believe our current cash and cash equivalents may not be sufficient to fund working capital requirements, capital expenditures and operations during the next twelve months. Our ability to continue as a going concern will depend on our ability to obtain additional equity or debt financing, attain further operating efficiencies, reduce or contain expenditures and increase revenues. Based on these factors, management determined that there is substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern. The Company will continue to monitor its costs in relation to its sales and adjust accordingly.
Our future liquidity and capital requirements will be influenced by numerous factors, including the extent and duration of any future operating losses, the level and timing of future sales and expenditures, the results and scope of ongoing research and product development programs, working capital required to support our sales growth, funds required to service our debt, the receipt of and time required to obtain regulatory clearances and approvals, our sales and marketing programs, our need for infrastructure to support our sales growth, the continuing acceptance of our products in the marketplace, competing technologies and changes in the market and regulatory environment.
Our ability to fund our longer-term cash needs is subject to various risks, many of which are beyond our control—See “Risk Factors—We may require significant additional capital to pursue our growth strategy, and our failure to raise capital when needed could prevent us from executing our growth strategy.” Should we require additional funding, such as additional capital investments, we may need to raise the required additional funds through bank borrowings or public or private sales of debt or equity securities. We cannot guarantee that such funding will be available in needed quantities or on terms favorable to us, if at all.
At March 31, 2025, we have Federal net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $69.3 million available to reduce future taxable income. A valuation allowance has been established for the full amount of deferred income tax assets as management has concluded that it is more-likely than-not that the benefits from such assets will not realize the benefits of our deferred tax assets. As a result, as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we recorded a full valuation allowance against our net deferred tax assets.
To support the Company’s strategic transition to SaaS solutions and the scaling of its AI-driven platform, management anticipates requiring approximately $10 million in total funding over the next 3 years. The Company plans to allocate $3.0 million in 2025 to fund critical infrastructure development and initial operational scaling, laying the foundation for its SaaS transition, $4.0 million in 2026 to develop AI technology for content, build fan community and membership system, and $3.0 million in 2027 to enhance our SaaS system, and develop robust security for other IP protection technologies.
To provide for such liquidity needs over the next 3 years, on May 9, 2025, the Company entered into a Purchase Agreement with Helena Global Investment Opportunities I Ltd. (Helena Global Investment Opportunities I Ltd., “Helena”, and such purchase agreement, “Helena Purchase Agreement”) whereby the Company shall have the right to issue and sell to Helena, from time to time, and Helena shall purchase from the Company, up to $15,000,000 of the Common Stock.
Unless terminated earlier pursuant to Section 11.02 of the Helena Purchase Agreement, at any time between May 9, 2025 and the first day of the month next following the 36-month anniversary of May 9, 2025, the Company may require Helena to purchase Common Stock by delivering an Advance Notice to Helena and, in its sole discretion, select the amount of the Advance, not to exceed the Maximum Advance Amount, it desires to issue and sell to Helena in each Advance Notice and the time it desires to deliver each Advance Notice.
In no event shall the number of shares of Common Stock issuable to Helena pursuant to an Advance cause the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Helena and its affiliates as a result of previous issuances and sales of Common Stock to Helena under the Helena Purchase Agreement to exceed 9.99% of the then issued and outstanding Common Stock.
The closing of each Advance and each sale and purchase of Common Stock related to each Advance (each, a “Closing”) shall take place on the applicable Settlement Date, at a Purchase Price based on 95% of the lowest VWAP for the Common Stock, in respect of any Advance, during the three (3) Trading Days commencing on the date of Helena’s receipt of the shares of Common Stock relating to such Advance.
21
In consideration for Helena’s execution and delivery of the Helena Purchase Agreement, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued to Helenna, as a commitment fee, shares of Common Stock, having an aggregate value of $150,000, of which (i) $75,000 of such shares shall be issued on a date no later than three (3) Business Days from the Helena Purchase Agreement, and (ii) $75,000 of such shares shall be issued on the date which is ninety (90) days following such date.
On May 9, 2025, the Company also entered into,
and simultaneously closed the transactions under, a Securities Purchase Agreement with Cao Yu, whereby the Company sold 1,585,366 shares
of the Company’s Common Stock to Cao Yu, for an aggregate purchase price of $2,600,000.
On May 9, 2025, the Company also
entered into, and simultaneously closed the transactions under, a Securities Purchase Agreement with Hu Bin, whereby the Company sold
853,659 shares of Common Stock to Hu Bin, for an aggregate purchase price of $1,400,000.
