Liquidity and Financial Condition In accordance with Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40) (“ASU 205-40”), the Company has evaluated whether there are certain conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are issued. At June 30, 2024, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $54,045 and negative working capital of $9,184. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company generated operating income of $516 and positive net cash flows from operations of $4,206. The Company’s contingent consideration obligation is dependent upon the market value of the Company’s share price at a future date, February 17, 2025, and contractually must be settled in cash. The estimate for financial statement accounting purposes is $10,196 as of June 30, 2024. While the Company is currently generating cash from operations and has refinanced its debt, the Credit Agreement (as defined in Note 7 below) limits, via specific reserve, utilization of the Company’s line of credit to no more than $4,000 for payments to satisfy the contingent consideration. Should the contingent consideration require a cash payment at maturity in excess of the Company’s availability under the Credit Agreement, inclusive of such reserve, the Company may not have sufficient liquidity to settle this obligation without receipt of a waiver under the Credit Agreement or a reduction in the amount of the contingent consideration. The conditions and events raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern under the technical framework within ASU 205-40. In response to these conditions, the Company continues to evaluate its available options for amending its debt facilities or accessing the capital markets via equity financing. However, these plans have not been finalized, are subject to market conditions, in some respects are not within the Company’s control, and therefore cannot be deemed probable. As a result, the Company has concluded that management's plans do not alleviate substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
