Business Context and Reporting Period
This Form 10-Q covers the quarterly period ended September 30, 2025, for Intelligent Protection Management Corp. (IPM). The Company, formerly Paltalk, Inc., underwent a significant transformation in January 2025 through the acquisition of Newtek Technology Solutions, Inc. (NTS) and the divestiture of its legacy consumer applications (Paltalk, Camfrog, Vumber). IPM now operates as a single-segment business providing managed IT security, professional services, procurement, secure private cloud hosting, and backup/disaster recovery solutions, while continuing to support its ManyCam software.

Revenue Composition (9 Months 2025): Managed IT ($10.9M), Procurement ($3.9M), Professional Services ($1.9M), and Subscription ($0.8M). Related party revenue from Newtek and affiliates accounted for approximately 33% of total revenue for the nine-month period.
Material Changes vs. Prior Period
- Revenue Surge: Total revenue increased by 2,164.9% for the three months and 2,035.7% for the nine months compared to the prior year periods. This is primarily due to the inclusion of NTS operations, whereas the prior year only reflected legacy ManyCam subscription revenue.
- Expense Growth: Total costs and expenses increased significantly (447% for the quarter) driven by the integration of NTS, including higher cost of revenue for procurement and managed services, increased headcount (sales team grew from 0 to ~15; G&A from 4 to ~41), and $507,181 in litigation expenses related to the Cisco ManyCam case.
- Non-Cash Adjustments: The Company recorded a $352,000 goodwill impairment charge related to the NTS acquisition, which was fully offset by a corresponding decrease in the fair value of the contingent earn-out liability, resulting in no net impact on income.
- Divestiture: The Company completed the sale of its legacy consumer assets (Paltalk, Camfrog, Vumber) to Meteor Mobile in January 2025, receiving $1.35 million in cash and potential earn-out payments. These operations are now classified as discontinued.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
Outlook and Strategy: Management aims to integrate NTS services, cross-sell ManyCam to new enterprise clients, and explore strategic M&A opportunities. The Company plans to incorporate AI features into its secure private cloud offerings. No specific financial guidance for the full year 2025 was provided in this filing.
Key Risks and Contingencies:
- Cisco Litigation:
- WebEx Patent Lawsuit: IPM was awarded $65.7 million in August 2024. However, the Court granted Cisco a new trial regarding damages in August 2025. IPM estimates receiving no more than one-third of the gross proceeds after legal fees, subject to appellate proceedings.
- ManyCam Lawsuit: Cisco sued IPM in March 2025 alleging patent infringement. IPM has incurred ~$0.5 million in defense costs and believes the case is without merit, but an unfavorable outcome could adversely affect operations.
- Customer Concentration: Two customers represented 14% and 58% of total accounts receivable as of September 30, 2025. Newtek and affiliates represented 33% of total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2025.
- Liquidity: The Company has a $1.0 million revolving credit facility with Newtek Bank (mature April 2026), currently unutilized. Cash on hand is approximately $8.3 million (including restricted cash).
Investor Verification Checklist
- Revenue Quality: Verify the sustainability of revenue from Newtek (related party) which comprised ~33% of YTD revenue.
- Legal Exposure: Monitor the status of the Cisco WebEx damages retrial and the ManyCam infringement lawsuit, as these present significant financial uncertainty.
- Acquisition Integration: Assess the progress of integrating NTS operations and the realization of projected synergies versus the high amortization costs ($1.6M YTD on acquired intangibles).
- Cash Burn vs. Operations: Review the transition from negative operating cash flow in 2024 to positive operating cash flow ($0.99M YTD 2025) to ensure it is sustainable without the one-time tax benefit of $2.2M recorded in Q1.
- Earn-Out Potential: Evaluate the likelihood of achieving the EBITDA thresholds required for the $5.0 million NTS earn-out and the $5.0 million cap on the Divestiture earn-out.
