Material Changes vs. Prior Period
- Operating Expenses: Total operating expenses decreased by approximately 14.8% to $1.75 million from $2.05 million in Q1 2024.

- Revenue Generation: The company reported $0 revenue for both periods as it continues to develop and test paywalls for the faidr app.
- Interest Expense: Interest expense dropped significantly to $1,552 from $152,708 in Q1 2024, following the repayment of related-party bridge notes in April 2024.

Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary
- Liquidity and Going Concern: Management has raised substantial doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern. With cash of approximately $1.69 million and recent financing of $0.7 million, funds are projected to be sufficient only through the third quarter of 2025. Additional funding is required to complete product development and scale operations.
- Financing Activities: The company raised approximately $0.7 million in Q1 2025 through an At-the-Market (ATM) issuance. It also maintains an Equity Line Common Stock Purchase Agreement with White Lion for up to $10 million.
- Strategic Focus: The company is testing new paywalls and price points to optimize subscription conversions. It is also exploring mergers and acquisitions to scale user adoption and enter international markets.
- Nasdaq Compliance: The company received a notice in October 2024 regarding non-compliance with the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement. On April 14, 2025, Nasdaq notified the company that it had regained compliance.
- Risks: Key risks include the need for additional capital, limited operating history, dependence on key personnel, and the ability to generate revenue from new software services.
