Substantial doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern.
“These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern over the next twelve months. The Company anticipates sources of liquidity to include cash on hand, cash flow from operations, cash generated from its sales under the Company's new Committed Equity Facility and cash generated from other potential sales of equity and/or debt securities and has taken several actions to address liquidity and performance concerns. Such plans include (1) a shift in focus to driving intentional digital marketing spend with current and future customers as well as new enterprise customers accessing the digital advertising market through its recently launched product – Ignition+ allowing for further growth and a return to profitability and (2) refinancing the 2021 Credit Facility by raising additional funds in a registered or private offering. There can be no assurance that the Company’s actions will be successful or that additional financing will be available when needed or on acceptable terms.”View the 10-Q filed May 15, 2026
Total shares sold short and not yet covered, reported to FINRA by broker-dealers twice a month. Each reading settles on the 15th and the last business day of the month and is published seven business days later — the next scheduled dates are listed at the top of the table. Days to cover divides the short position by average daily volume; a high value (above 5) can signal short-squeeze potential.
