Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2026. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 27, 2026, from which the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet dated December 31, 2025 was derived.

Going Concern and Management’s Plan

As of March 31, 2026, the Company was in default of its minimum Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (“FCCR”), of 1.10x as of the last day of the Fiscal Quarter, having only attained a ratio of 0.93x. All other financial and business covenants required under the terms of the Current Credit Facility were met. The Company’s debt under our Current Credit Facility and Related Party Subordinated Notes approximates $29,747,000. The Current Credit Facility is scheduled to expire on September 30, 2026, and the Related Party Subordinated Notes mature on October 1, 2026. These obligations are classified as current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2026. As a result of the default, the expiration dates of our Current Credit Facility and the rights that our Current Credit Facility lender could exercise, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the twelve months following the date of filing of these condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Company is required to maintain a collection account with its lender into which substantially all cash receipts are remitted.
