Overview
We
are an AI technology company focused on the growth and development of SemiCab. SemiCab is an AI-enabled software logistics and distribution
business that utilizes our SemiCab technology platform to enable retailers, brands and transportation providers to address common supply
chain problems globally. We operate our SemiCab business through our subsidiary, SemiCab Holdings.
Prior
to August 1, 2025, we had a second business, which was Singing Machine. Singing Machine was a home karaoke consumer products business
that designed and distributed karaoke products to retailers and ecommerce partners globally through our subsidiary, The Singing Machine
Company, Inc. We sold our Singing Machine business on August 1, 2025. Accordingly, we no longer own or operate the Singing Machine business.
SemiCab
SemiCab
is an AI-enabled, cloud-based collaborative transportation platform built to achieve the scalability required to predict and optimize
loads and the use of trucks. To orchestrate collaboration across manufacturers, retailers, distributors, and their carriers, SemiCab
uses real-time data from API-based load tendering and pre-built integrations with TMS and ELD partners. To build fully loaded round trips,
SemiCab uses AI/ML techniques and advanced predictive optimization models.
37
Since
2020, SemiCab has enabled major retailers, brands and transportation providers to address their transportation needs. SemiCab’s
Orchestrated Collaboration™ AI model has proven to increase transportation capacity, improve asset utilization, reduce empty miles,
lower logistics costs, and provide visibility into the entire transportation network. Models show that our SemiCab technology has the
capability of reducing costs through optimization. Additionally, our SemiCab technology has the potential to play a key role in the improved
sustainability model. Based on our proven ability to improve truck utilization rates, this could result in a dramatic reduction in the
carbon footprint of the industry. The optimization of existing truck utilization can add trucking capacity without adding more trucks,
drivers or driven miles which addresses common problems plaguing the industry like severe driver shortage and road congestion. Trucking
optimization could also reduce carbon emissions attributable to road freight.
Singing
Machine
Through
Singing Machine, we engaged in the development, marketing, and sale of consumer karaoke audio equipment, accessories, and musical recordings.
We were a leading global karaoke and music entertainment company that specializes in the design and production of quality karaoke and
music enabled consumer products for adults and children. Our products were among the most widely available karaoke products internationally.
We sold our Singing Machine business on August 1, 2025. Accordingly, we no longer own or operate the Singing Machine business line.
Financial
Results
We
generated net sales of $3,005,000 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2026, compared to $1,152,000 for the three months ended June
30, 2025. The increase in net sales was due primarily to the addition of net sales generated by our SemiCab business resulting from our
acquisition of SMCB on May 2, 2025. Cost of sales was $3,598,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $1,492,000 for
the three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase in cost of sales was due primarily to the addition of freight, handling and servicing
costs incurred by SMCB resulting from our acquisition of SMCB on May 2, 2025. Our operating expenses were $2,108,000 for the three months
ended June 30, 2026, compared to $868,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase in operating expenses was due primarily
to the increase in general and administrative expenses incurred in the growth and development of our SemiCab business during the three
months ended June 30, 2026.
We
generated net loss from continuing operations of $4,149,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to a loss of
$1,235,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase in the net loss from continuing operations was mainly due to
administrative expenses incurred in the growth and development of our SemiCab business and the interest expense incurred by us on
the pre-paid purchases under the Streeterville Transaction. We had total assets of $18,568,000 and $12,724,000 at June 30, 2026 and
December 31, 2025, respectively. Net cash used in operating activities attributable to continuing operations was $6,592,000 for the
six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $3,106,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2025.

including the amortization of deferred debt costs, associated with our recent financing transactions, and a $400,000 loss on debt extinguishment
recognized in connection with the exchange of the partitioned pre-paid purchase for the Series A preferred stock during the three-month

Liquidity
And Capital Resources
Since
our inception, we have funded our operations primarily through cash generated by our operations, private sales of equity securities and
the use of short- and long-term debt. As of June 30, 2026, our cash and restricted cash balance was $7,955,000.
Net
cash used in operating activities attributable to continuing operations was $6,592,000 during the six-month period ended June 30, 2026,
compared to $3,106,000 during the six-month period ended June 30, 2025. The increase of $3,486,000 was due primarily to decreases of
$6,468,000 for loss on the change in fair value of warrants recognized in connection with the public offering of securities that we completed
on December 6, 2024, and $2,550,000 for prepaid expenses and other current assets. These decreases were partially offset by increases
of $1,482,000 for the amortization of debt discount and issuance costs and $2,754,000 for accounts payable and accrued expenses.
Net
cash used in investing activities attributable to continuing operations was $267,000 during the six-month period ended June 30, 2026,
compared to $1,344,000 during the six-month period ended June 30, 2025. The decrease of $1,077,000 was due primarily to decreases of
$1,172,000 for advances to SMCB under our loan agreement with them and $758,000 for repurchases of shares of our common stock, partially
offset by a decrease of $593,000 for cash received in connection with our acquisition of SMCB on May 2, 2025 and an increase of $248,000
for the capitalization of internal use software costs
Net
cash provided by financing activities attributable to continuing operations was $8,668,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2026,
compared to $379,000 during the six-month period ended June 30, 2025. The increase of $8,289,000 was due primarily to net proceeds of
$9,020,000 that we received from Streeterville under the Fourth Pre-Paid Purchase.
Our
limited cash resources along with our recent history of recurring operating losses and decreases in working capital create substantial
doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. To date, our capital needs have been met through cash
generated by our operations, sales of our equity securities and the use of short- and long-term debt to fund our operations. We
have used these sources of capital to pay virtually all of the costs and expenses that we have incurred to date. These costs and expenses
have been comprised primarily of the professional fees, employee compensation expenses, and general and administrative expenses discussed
above. We intend to continue to rely upon each of these sources to fund our operations and expansion
efforts, including additional acquisitions of controlling or non-controlling financial interests in other complementary businesses
and companies during the next 12 months .
41
We
can provide no assurance that these sources of capital will be adequate to fund our operations and expansion efforts during the next
12 months. If these sources of capital are not adequate, we will need to obtain additional capital through alternative sources of financing.
We may attempt to obtain additional capital through the sale of equity securities or the issuance of short- and long-term debt. If
we raise additional funds by issuing shares of our common stock, our stockholders will experience dilution. If we raise additional funds
by issuing securities exercisable or convertible into shares of our common stock, our stockholders will experience dilution in the event
the securities are exercised or converted, as the case may be, into shares of our common stock. Debt
financing may involve agreements containing covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring
additional debt, issuing equity securities, making capital expenditures for certain purposes or above a certain amount, or declaring
dividends. In addition, any equity securities or debt that we issue may have rights, preferences and privileges senior to those
of the shares of common stock held by our stockholders.
We
have not made arrangements to obtain additional capital and can provide no assurance that additional financing will be available in an
amount or on terms acceptable to us, if at all. Our ability to obtain additional capital will be subject to a number of factors, including
market conditions and our operating performance. These factors may make the timing, amount, terms and conditions of any proposed future
financing transactions unattractive to us. If we cannot
raise additional capital when needed, or if such capital cannot be obtained on acceptable terms, we may not be able to pay our costs
and expenses as they are incurred, take advantage of future acquisition opportunities, respond to competitive pressures or unanticipated
events, or otherwise execute upon our business plan. This may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations
and, in the extreme case, cause us to discontinue our operations.
Nasdaq
Compliance
On
December 30, 2024, we received notice from the Nasdaq indicating that the bid price for our common stock had closed below $0.10 per share
for the 13-consecutive trading day period ended December 27, 2024 and, accordingly, we would be subject to the provisions contemplated
under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(iii) and our securities would be subject to delisting from Nasdaq unless we timely request a
hearing before the Nasdaq hearings panel. On February 10, 2025, we implemented a 200-for-1 reverse stock split. On that day, the closing
price of our common stock was $2.98 per share and the closing bid of our common stock remained above $1.00 for the next 10 consecutive
business days. On March 25, 2025, we received a letter from the Nasdaq stating that we had regained compliance with the minimum bid price
requirement of $1.00 per share for continued listing on the Nasdaq, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2).
On
November 28, 2025, we received an additional letter from the Nasdaq indicating that our stockholders’ equity as reported in our
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2025, did not satisfy the continued listing requirement under
Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1), which requires that a listed company’s stockholders’ equity be at least $2,500,000. We reported
a stockholders’ equity of approximately $100,000 on September 30, 2025 in that quarterly report. Pursuant to the listing rule and
instructions from Nasdaq, we submitted a plan to regain compliance with the listing rule and were given an extension until May 27, 2026
to evidence compliance through a public filing.
42
On
May 14, 2026, we filed our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2026 wherein we reported stockholders’
equity of $3,168,000. On May 21, 2026, we filed a Form 8-K where we stated that, as a result of the $3,168,000 of stockholders’
equity that we reported in that quarterly report, we believe that we had regained compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) for
continued listing on the Nasdaq. On May 26, 2026, we received a letter from the Nasdaq notifying us that, based on our Form 8-K, dated
May 21, 2026, the Nasdaq had determined that we complied with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1).
On
June 16, 2026, we received a letter from the Nasdaq notifying us that, based upon the closing bid price of our common stock for the 30
consecutive business days from May 4, 2026 to June 15, 2026, we did not meet the minimum bid price requirement of $1.00 per share set
forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market. The letter stated that we have a compliance
period of 180 calendar days, or until December 14, 2026, to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. If at any time
during this compliance period the closing bid price of our common stock is at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business
days, the Nasdaq will provide us with written confirmation of compliance and the matter will be closed. The Nasdaq also stated that it
may, in its discretion, require us to satisfy the minimum bid price requirement for a period in excess of 10 consecutive business days
before determining that we have demonstrated an ability to maintain long-term compliance.
We
intend to actively monitor the closing bid price of our common stock and consider available options to regain compliance with the minimum
bid price requirement, including such actions as effecting a reverse stock split of our common stock.
If
we are unable to meet the continued listing of the Nasdaq, our common stock could be subject to delisting. If our common stock is delisted
from the Nasdaq, trading of our common stock most likely will be conducted in the over-the-counter market on an electronic bulletin board
established for unlisted securities such as the OTC Markets or in the “pink sheets.” Such a downgrade in our listing market
may adversely impact our ability to raise capital, limit our ability to make a market in our common stock, and adversely affect the market
price and liquidity of our common stock.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
As
of June 30, 2026, we did not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partners, such as entities often referred
to as structured finance or special purpose entities, that had been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements
or for other contractually narrow or limited purposes. As such, we are not materially exposed to any financing, liquidity, market or
credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in such relationships.
43
Critical
Accounting Estimates
Our
interim financial statements were prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles, which require management
to make subjective decisions, assessments and estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. As the number of variables
and assumptions increases, such judgements become even more subjective. While management believes that its assumptions are reasonable
and appropriate, actual results may be materially different than estimated. Our critical accounting estimates and assumptions have not
materially changed from those identified in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
