Executive summary
Completed sale of marquee consumer brands for $18.0 million and issued $7.0 million in preferred stock, resulting in a change of control and new CEO appointment.
All outstanding debt under the credit facility was repaid and the company now focuses on legacy brands Vremi and Xtava.
Substantial doubt remains about the ability to continue as a going concern due to limited scale and ongoing macroeconomic challenges.
Financial highlights
Net revenue from continuing operations fell 91.9% year-over-year to $7,000 for Q2 2026; discontinued operations revenue was $13.3 million, down 31.4%.
Net loss for Q2 2026 was $0.5 million, a significant improvement from $4.9 million loss in Q2 2025, driven by income from discontinued operations.
Gross profit margin from discontinued operations rose to 77.3% from 54.3% due to tariff refunds and product mix.
Operating loss from continuing operations was $4.0 million for Q2 2026, up 10.6% year-over-year.
Cash and restricted cash at June 30, 2026 was $3.7 million, down from $11.7 million at year-end 2025.
Outlook and guidance
Management plans to drive operational efficiencies, optimize supply chain, and evaluate strategic alternatives.
No formal financial guidance provided; future viability depends on scaling legacy brands or executing a strategic transaction.
