Key Financial Metrics

Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Revenue: Relatively flat for the three months ended June 30, 2026 ($3.01M vs. $3.00M prior year). For the six months, revenue increased 5% to $6.01M. Growth in "Publishing and content studio" (up 15% QoQ) and "Media and advertising" (up 14% YoY for six months) was offset by the elimination of "Direct to consumer" revenue following the sale of the Mineville digital property in May 2025.
• Operating Expenses: Total operating expenses increased 10% for the quarter and 9% for the six months compared to the prior year. However, excluding noncash charges (stock compensation, amortization), operating expenses decreased 15% and 12% respectively, reflecting ongoing cost reduction initiatives.
• Noncash Charges: Significant noncash items impacted the net loss, including $2.07 million in stock-based compensation and $1.54 million in amortization for the six months ended June 30, 2026. A $825,000 write-off of deferred financing costs related to the termination of an equity purchase agreement was recorded in "Other income (expense)."
• Liquidity: Cash and cash equivalents decreased significantly from $14.39 million at December 31, 2025, to $1.13 million at June 30, 2026. This reduction was driven by investing activities, including the Misfits Transaction ($1.5M cash), investments in marketable securities ($9.0M net purchase), and operating cash outflows.

Guidance, Outlook, and Risks

• Acquisitions and Investments:
  • Misfits Transaction: Closed May 1, 2026. Consideration included $1.5M cash, stock, and warrants. The company expects to pay an additional $300,000 cash in one year and up to $1.2M cash plus stock based on earnout milestones.
  • Bounce Acquisition: Closed January 2026 for $200,000 cash plus up to $325,000 contingent consideration.
  • Strategic Investments: Invested $202,000 in "Hide or OOF!" (Roblox game) and $200,000 in Solsten, Inc. (AI audience intelligence).
• Capital Structure:
  • Reverse Split: A 1-for-12 reverse stock split was effective January 23, 2026. All share data is retroactively adjusted.
  • Debt: The company has extinguished several prior debt instruments (Agile, Diagonal, Belleau, RP Notes) through conversions to equity or cash settlements during the period. No significant long-term debt remains outstanding as of June 30, 2026.
  • Preferred Stock: Series C Preferred Stock was redeemed for $922,400 in June 2026.
• Liquidity Outlook: Management believes existing cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities ($6.7M total) are sufficient to meet working capital and cash requirements for at least the next 12 months. The company does not currently depend on additional financing to meet obligations.
• Risks and Contingencies:
  • Legal Proceedings: A complaint was filed in January 2026 by Global Leisure Partners, LLC and Blackwatch Advisors, LLC alleging breach of contract related to financing transactions. The company intends to vigorously defend the action and believes a material loss is remote.
  • Integration Risk: Risks associated with integrating the Misfits assets and realizing anticipated synergies.
  • Warrant Dilution: Outstanding warrants from the October 2025 PIPE contain down-round provisions that could reduce exercise prices and increase share count upon future dilutive issuances.

Investor Verification Checklist

• Cash Burn Rate: Verify the sustainability of the $4.7M operating cash burn over six months against the remaining $6.7M in liquid assets.
• Non-GAAP Adjustments: Review the reconciliation of GAAP net loss to non-GAAP metrics, specifically the impact of the $825k deferred financing cost write-off and $2.1M stock-based compensation.
• Acquisition Integration: Monitor the realization of revenue synergies from the Misfits and Bounce acquisitions against the $5.3M and $373k purchase prices respectively.
• Legal Exposure: Track the status of the Global Leisure Partners/Blackwatch Advisors lawsuit for any updates on potential liability.
• Warrant Terms: Review the specific terms of the October 2025 PIPE warrants, particularly the down-round floors and potential dilution impact.
