Second-quarter operating performance deteriorated materially: revenue declined 28.0% year over year to $1,181,296, gross margin fell to an estimated 39.1% from 43.4%, operating margin was approximately negative 147.4%, and diluted EPS was negative $0.15 versus negative $0.23. RemoteMore grew 17.8% for the first six months, but all operating segments declined in the second quarter and the company incurred a $1,716,073 quarterly net loss. Liquidity improved through financing and the NAPW divestiture, but the company continues to disclose substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern, alongside Nasdaq compliance and dilution risks.
