The following table sets forth the components of our results of operations:
Amounts include stock-based compensation expense as follows:
Stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended September 30, 2025 decreased compared to the prior year period.

The Aterian Transactions are subject to significant conditions, including stockholder approval; failure to complete these transactions could materially harm our business and our ability to continue as a going concern.
On April 27, 2026, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with Trademark Global, LLC and a Securities Purchase Agreement with David E. Lazar (collectively, the "Aterian Transactions"); however, there can be no assurance that we will obtain the necessary stockholder approvals or that other closi…
The strategic investment made by David E. Lazar will result in a change in control and significant dilution of existing stockholders, giving a single investor outsized influence over our corporate strategy.
Existing stockholders will experience immediate and substantial dilution and a change in control as a result of the Aterian Transactions. Upon the Second SPA Closing and the subsequent conversion of the Series AA and Series AAA Preferred Stock, Mr. Lazar is expected to hold approximately 95.13% of o…
The Company will dispose of substantially all of its revenue-generating assets upon the closing of the Asset Sale, and our future viability is subject to the successful execution of an unproven strategic pivot.

We have experienced significant after-tax losses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.

How to read Risk Factors (Item 1A) in a 10-Q
A 10-Q risk-factor section usually takes one of three forms; this page classifies it as one of:
- Pointer — the filer states there have been no material changes and points back to the annual 10-K risk factors; there is no own risk text to compare this quarter.
- Partial update — the filer carves out specific updated risks ("except as set forth below"); the excerpts show exactly what is new this quarter.
- Restated in full — the quarter carries the complete risk-factor text. When the prior quarter was only a pointer there is no prior full text to diff against, so the page flags the section as restated instead.
This describes the filing structure only — it is never a judgement on whether risk went up or down.
