Liquidity and Financial Condition; Going Concern 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. As of September 30, 2025, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $63,165 and positive working capital of $526.

On November 6, 2025, the Company completed a refinancing of its senior debt facilities, and on November 7, 2025, the Company completed the acquisition of DDC Group International, Inc. and related financing arrangements. Management believes these actions are likely to significantly improve the Company’s liquidity, scale, and overall financial condition. Our ability to generate positive net income and cash flows from operations is reliant on the successful integration and operation of this newly acquired business and therefore the financial impacts of this acquisition were not fully known at the time of the Company's going-concern assessment. Management believes the completion of these transactions and the planned integration and operating plan for the newly acquired business present the opportunity to mitigate the conditions giving rise to substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in future periods. However, there can be no assurance that these efforts will be successful. 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.
