Initiated review of M&A opportunities to position as a biometrics solutions consolidator and drive future growth.
Financial highlights
Adjusted gross margin dropped to 39% in Q2 2025 from 57% in Q2 2024, mainly due to product mix and lower-margin shipments.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
