Executive summary

  • Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 declined 81% year-over-year to $1.8 million, driven by sharply lower demand for DreamWeVR AR/VR and data center products.

  • Net loss for the nine months was $14.0 million, a 263% increase from the $3.9 million loss in the prior year, mainly due to lower revenue and a $6.9 million non-cash loss on convertible debenture extinguishment.

  • Gross margin for the nine months was 47%, down from 59% in the prior year, reflecting reduced sales of higher-margin products and lower shipment volumes.

  • The company completed a forced conversion of all outstanding convertible debentures and raised $9.2 million through a May 2024 private placement.

  • As of September 30, 2024, working capital improved to $6.4 million, and cash increased to $3.0 million, primarily due to the equity raise.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.

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.
