+Added: ended March 31, 2024.
+Added: The decrease in net sales was due primarily to the loss of retail shelf space at two major customers.
+Added: decreased $2,000 to $500,000, or 25.1% of net sales, for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025, compared to $502,000, or 20.7%
+Added: of net sales, for the three-month period ended March 31, 2024.
+Added: The decrease was due primarily to the decrease of $433,000 for net sales,
+Added: partially offset by a corresponding decrease of $431,000 for cost of goods sold associated with less products being manufactured for
+Added: Our operating expenses increased $521,000 to $3,310,000 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025, from $2,789,000 for the
+Added: three-month period ended March 31, 2024, primarily due to an increase in general and administrative expenses incurred for the growth
+Added: and development of our SemiCab business.
+Added: As a result, we incurred a loss from operations of $2,810,000 for the three-month period ended
+Added: March 31, 2025 compared to $2,287,000 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2024.

+Added: most significant contributor to the increase in our net loss available to common stockholders was a one-time, non-cash charge of $6,468,000
+Added: for the change in fair value of warrants that we issued in connection with the public offering of securities that we completed on December
+Added: In that offering, we sold Series A warrants and Series B warrants that had certain features and were subject to certain contingencies
+Added: that resulted in us having to record a warrant liability of $16,603,000 on our balance sheet at December 31, 2024.
+Added: All of the contingencies
+Added: that the Series A warrants were subject to were satisfied in January 2025, and all of the Class B warrants were exercised in full during
+Added: January and February 2025.
+Added: We re-measured the warrant liability for the Class A and B warrants on their respective measurement dates
+Added: and adjusted the liability to fair value which resulted in us recording the non-cash charge of $6,468,000 for the change in fair value
+Added: The warrant liability was reclassified as equity on our condensed consolidated balance sheet for our fiscal quarter ended
+Added: March 31, 2025.
+Added: As a result, we did not have any warrant liability on our condensed consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2025 and
+Added: will not incur any further non-cash charges for the change in fair value of warrants.
+Added: expect net sales of our Singing Machine karaoke products to decrease over the next 12 months due to the negative impact on our business
+Added: from recently implemented tariffs on our products manufactured in China.
+Added: However, we expect revenue generated from our SemiCab business
+Added: to increase over the next 12 months as we generate more business from our growing customer base in the United States and India.
+Added: result, total net sales are expected to increase over the next 12 months.
+Added: We expect gross profit to remain at similar levels over the
+Added: next 12 months as costs of goods sold decrease commensurate with the decrease in net sales of our karaoke products.
+Added: We expect operating
+Added: expenses to remain flat, if not decrease, over the next 12 months as we implement initiatives designed to reduce general and administrative
+Added: expenses, particularly those related to marketing and advertising initiatives.
+Added: The reductions achieved may be partially offset by legal
+Added: and accounting expenses that we incur as we engage in additional capital-raising activities as needed to fund our business and expenses
+Added: that we incur to fund the growth and development of our SemiCab business.
+Added: Net loss available to common stockholders is expected to decrease
+Added: substantially during the next 12 months primarily due to the fact that we do not expect to incur any additional non-cash charges for
+Added: the change in fair value of warrants, and due to the decreases in general and administrative expenses that we intend to generate.
+Added: Notwithstanding
+Added: the foregoing, in the event we complete additional acquisitions of controlling or non-controlling financial interests in other complementary
+Added: businesses or companies through mergers, acquisitions, joint ventures or other strategic initiatives, such as the acquisition of the
+Added: United States component of our SemiCab business on July 3, 2024 and the acquisition of the India component of our SemiCab business on
+Added: May 2, 2025, our financial results will include and reflect the financial results of the target entities.

+Added: of any such transactions in the future may have a substantial beneficial or negative impact on our business, financial condition and
+Added: results of operations.
