Previous report
Our exploration of strategic alternatives is diverse, encompassing the consideration of a range of transformative actions. These include the possibility of a business combination, where we might merge with or be acquired by another company; a reverse merger, where a private company merges with us to become public without going through the traditional initial public offering process; or outright sale of the company. Each option is being carefully evaluated to ensure it aligns with our overarching goal of sustainable growth and value creation.
Previous report
Our strategy for growth is twofold: (i) we aim to grow organically by expanding our market presence and increasing adoption of our products and services, and (ii) we are actively seeking inorganic growth opportunities through strategic partnerships or acquisitions. Specifically, we are interested in early-stage technology companies that are not just innovating but have also developed minimum viable products (MVPs) that have gained some measure of market acceptance. These companies may complement our existing offerings, but could also open new avenues for expansion by tapping into significant market opportunities.
Previous report
In our quest to find the right partners or acquisition targets, we are particularly focused on ventures that have demonstrated their ability to innovate and capture early-stage interest of their target markets, indicating a clear path to scalability and a substantial market presence.
Previous report
However, it’s important to note that while we are committed to this strategic review process, there is no guaranteed outcome. The process of identifying and executing on the right strategic alternative, whether it be a merger, sale, or business combination, is complex and uncertain. We want our shareholders to understand that, despite our best efforts, there is no assurance that this strategic review will culminate in a definitive transaction involving the Company. Our priority remains clear: to explore every avenue that could potentially enhance the value we deliver to our shareholders and ensure the long-term success of our Company.

Previous wording
Historically, customers have used Mezzanine™ products in traditional office and operating center environments such as conference rooms or other presentation spaces. Sales of our Mezzanine product have been adversely affected during the last several years by the commercial response to the COVID-19 pandemic and its aftermath. Like many technology companies in recent months, we will continue to monitor and manage our costs relative to demand with the goal of growing the Company’s revenue in the future. To the extent we believe new investments in product development, marketing, or sales are warranted as a result of changes in market demand, we believe additional capital will be required to fund those efforts and our ongoing operations.
