Current report
There have been instances of extreme stock price run-ups followed by rapid price declines and strong stock price volatility with recent initial public offerings, especially among those with relatively smaller public floats. As a micro-cap company with a relatively small public float, we may experience greater stock price volatility, extreme price run-ups, lower trading volume, and less liquidity than large-capitalization companies. In particular, our common stock may be subject to rapid and substantial price volatility, low volumes of trades, and large spreads in bid and ask prices. Such volatility, including any stock run-ups, may be unrelated to our actual or expected operating performance and financial condition or prospects, making it difficult for prospective investors to assess the rapidly changing value of our common stock.
Current report
Failure to comply with the Nasdaq Capital Market continued listing requirements may result in our common stock being delisted from the Nasdaq Capital Market.
Current report
The “controlled company” exception to the Nasdaq Capital Market rules provides that a company of which more than 50% of the voting power for the election of directors is held by an individual, a group or another company, a “controlled company,” need not comply with certain requirements of the Nasdaq Capital Market corporate governance rules. Until December 30, 2025, V-Cube, Inc., our largest stockholder, directly and indirectly, owned a majority of the voting power of our outstanding common stock and was able to determine all matters requiring approval by our stockholders. As a “controlled company” within the meaning of the corporate governance rules of the Nasdaq Capital Market, during 2025, we were exempt from the Nasdaq Capital Market’s corporate governance rules requiring that listed companies have (i) a majority of the Board consist of “independent” directors under the listing standards of the Nasdaq Capital Market, (ii) selection or recommendation for the Board’s selection of director nominees made by (a) independent directors constituting a majority of the Board’s independent directors in a vote in which only the independent directors participate or (b) a nominating and corporate governance committee composed entirely of independent directors (subject to exceptions under limited and exceptional circumstances) and a written nominating and corporate governance committee charter meeting the requirements of the Nasdaq Capital Market, and (iii) a compensation committee composed entirely of independent directors (subject to exceptions under limited and exceptional circumstances) and a written compensation committee charter meeting the requirements of the Nasdaq Capital Market. As of the date of this Annual Report, V-Cube, Inc. no longer owns a majority of the voting power of our outstanding common stock. As such, we no longer qualify as a “controlled company” and accordingly, on February 2, 2026, we formed a compensation committee and a nominating and corporate governance committee of the Board. We have also ceased our reliance on the exemption applicable to newly public companies relating to a majority independent board and have appointed independent directors representing a majority of our Board.
Current report
We are an “emerging growth company” as defined in the JOBS Act and a “smaller reporting company” under the applicable rules of the SEC, and we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies” and “smaller reporting companies” including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.
Current report
We currently have a substantial number of shares of common stock subject to potential issuance associated with our Equity Line of Credit (“ELOC”) with Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC (“Lincoln Park”). The issuance or sale of shares under our ELOC would substantially increase the number of shares outstanding and result in dilution to our security holders. This might substantially decrease the market price of our common stock.
Current report
We have a substantial number of shares of our common stock that may be issued in the future. On June 23, 2025, we entered into a purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Lincoln Park, pursuant to which Lincoln Park committed to purchase from us, from time to time and subject to certain limitations and conditions, up to an aggregate of $20.0 million of our common stock over the 24-month term of the Purchase Agreement. During the year ended December 31, 2025, we issued 2,402,754 shares of our common stock to Lincoln Park under our ELOC. To the extent that shares of common stock are issued or sold under our ELOC, dilution to our security holders may occur. The issuance of these additional securities may have an adverse effect on the market price of our securities.

Previous report
We depend on our controlling stockholder, V-Cube, Inc., for financing and other resources.
Previous report
V-Cube, Inc. owns the majority of our equity interest as of the date of this annual report. We do not expect any material changes to our relationship with V-Cube, Inc. in the foreseeable future. We have relied on and expect to continue to rely on V-Cube, Inc. for financing and other resources. V-Cube, Inc. has made verbal pledges to provide financial support and other resources to our Company. However, such pledges have not been formalized by any contractual arrangements and there is no assurance that such financial support will be available as and when needed or in sufficient amounts. If there are any changes to our relationship with V-Cube, Inc., and/or if V-Cube, Inc. suspends or terminates its provision of financing and other resources to us, for a variety of reasons beyond our control, such as any changes to the Japan-United States relations, any business interruptions or financial distress of V-Cube, Inc., or any legal changes that affect international money transfers, it could have material adverse effects on our business and financial results.
Previous report
We may be the subject of detrimental conduct by third parties, which could have a negative impact on our reputation.
Previous report
We may be the target of anti-competitive, harassing, or other detrimental conduct by third parties including our competitors. Such conduct may include complaints, anonymous or otherwise, to regulatory agencies regarding our operations, accounting, business relationships, business prospects, and business ethics. Additionally, anyone may post false allegations online against us on an anonymous basis. We may be subject to government or regulatory investigation as a result of such third-party conduct and may be required to expend significant time and incur substantial costs to address such third-party conduct, and there can be no assurance that each of the allegations will be refuted conclusively within a reasonable period of time, or at all. Our business may also be materially negatively affected as a result of such public dissemination of anonymous allegations or malicious statements.
Previous report
We may not be able to maintain the listing of our common stock on Nasdaq.
Previous report
As of the date of this annual report, our largest stockholder, V-Cube, Inc., directly and indirectly own more than a majority of the voting power of our outstanding common stock and will be able to determine all matters requiring approval by our stockholders. V-Cube, Inc. is a Japanese company listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange and its chief executive officer, Naoaki Mashita, has served as our Director since February 2024 and is our minority stockholder. Under the Nasdaq listing rules, a company of which more than 50% of the voting power is held by an individual, group, or another company is a “controlled company” and is permitted to phase in its compliance with the independent committee requirements. We intend to rely on the “controlled company” exemptions under the Nasdaq listing rules. Specifically, we will not form the nominating and corporate governance and compensation committees, and a majority of our board of directors will not consist of independent directors, as permitted by the “controlled company” exemptions under the Nasdaq listing rules. We have formed an audit committee that will consist of three independent directors and we intend to phase in our compliance with the relevant audit committee composition requirements by having two independent directors at the time of our listing, and three independent directors within one year of our listing. During the period we remain a controlled company and during any transition period following a time when we are no longer a controlled company, you will not have the same protections afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to all of the corporate governance requirements of Nasdaq.
Previous report
We will remain an “emerging growth company” until the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date of the first sale of our common stock pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, although we will lose that status sooner if our revenue exceeds $1.235 billion, if we issue more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt in a three-year period, or if the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter.
Reworded paragraphs (22)
Previous wording
We had a working capital deficit for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, which raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern depends on our ability to generate positive operating cash flows and raise additional capital significant enough to result in operating profitability.
Current wording
We incurred losses and had negative cash flows from operations for the years ended December 31, 2025, which raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern depends on our ability to generate positive operating cash flows and raise additional capital significant enough to result in operating profitability.
Previous wording
We had a loss of $2,965,000 and $1,688,000 for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and had cash used in operations of $2,485,188 and $265,000 during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Further, we had a negative working capital of $5,667,000 and $2,236,000 as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and will require additional capital to operate. Given the preceding conditions, our auditor has raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern depends upon our ability to generate positive operating cash flows. To support our working capital needs, we will rely on our revenue generating customer contracts and equity and/or debt financing. There is no assurance that we will be successful in generating positive operating cash flows and raising additional capital significant enough to result in operating profitability in the future.
Current wording
We have incurred and continue to incur losses from operations as well as negative cash flow from operations. For the year ended December 31, 2025, we had a net loss of $19.5 million, net cash used in operations of $10.1 million, and as of December 31, 2025, we had an accumulated deficit of $21.4 million. Given the preceding conditions, our auditor has raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern depends upon our ability to generate positive operating cash flows. To support our working capital needs, we will rely on our revenue generating customer contracts and equity and/or debt financing. There is no assurance that we will be successful in generating positive operating cash flows and raising additional capital significant enough to result in operating profitability in the future.
Previous wording
Our business depends upon our ability to attract new customers, and maintain and expand our relationships with our existing customers, including providing additional services to our existing customers. Our customers engage us to provide support for their events or other corporate activities. We cannot provide any assurance that customers will extend or renew their engagement with us after the events or corporate activities for which we have been engaged are completed. Extensions or renewals of customer engagement may decline or fluctuate because of several factors, such as dissatisfaction with our platform and support, a customer no longer having a need for our platform, or a belief that a competitor’s service offering is better, more secure, or less expensive than our platform. For example, during the COVID-19 pandemic, we saw a significant increase in usage of our platform and services. Following the pandemic, some of our customers reduced their use of our platform, and additional customers may do so in the future. Extensions or renewals of customer engagement are also impacted by reductions in customers’ information technology spending budgets or decisions by customers to consolidate their spending budgets on one of our competitor’s platforms, both of which are more likely to occur during periods of high inflation, recessionary or uncertain economic environments. Finally, any decrease in customer satisfaction with our platform or support would harm our brand, word-of-mouth referrals, and ability to grow. We need to continually add new customers to grow our business and to replace customers who choose not to continue to use our platform. If customers terminate or do not renew their business relationships with us, or renew their service contracts on less favorable terms or for fewer services, and we do not acquire replacement customers or otherwise grow our customer base, our business and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.

Our platform, Xyvid Pro Platform, has broad interoperability and is able to integrate and deliver event content to various devices, including Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android. See “Item 1. Business—Our Services—Virtual and Hybrid Events.” We depend on the accessibility of our platform across these devices that we do not control. Some of our competitors may have inherent advantages by being able to develop products and services internally that more closely integrate with their own software platforms or those of their business partners.

In addition, regulation of AI is rapidly evolving worldwide, as legislators and regulators are increasingly focused on these powerful emerging technologies. The technologies underlying AI and its uses are subject to a variety of laws and regulations, including intellectual property, data privacy and security, customer protection, competition, and equal opportunity laws, and are expected to be subject to increased regulation and new laws or new applications of existing laws and regulations. For example, In the United States, President Biden issued the Executive Order on Safe, Secure and Trustworthy Artificial Intelligence in October 2023, with the goal of promoting the “safe, secure, and trustworthy development and use of artificial intelligence in the United States.” The Executive Order has established certain new standards for the training, testing and cybersecurity of sophisticated AI models. It has also instructed other federal agencies to promulgate additional regulations within certain timeframes from the date of the Executive Order. Federal artificial intelligence legislation has also been introduced in the U.S. Senate. Since these regulatory frameworks rapidly evolve, we may become subject to new laws and regulations, which may affect the legality, profitability, or sustainability of our business, and we may be unable to predict all the legal, operational, or technological risks that may arise relating to the use of AI. The failure to comply with the relevant regulatory frameworks may also negatively affect our reputation. Because AI technology itself is highly complex and rapidly developing, it is not possible to predict all the legal, operational, or technological risks that may arise relating to the use of AI. Failure to appropriately respond to this evolving landscape may result in legal liability, regulatory action, or brand and reputational harm. As of the date of this annual report, the Company does not intend to utilize open-source AI.
Current wording
As of the date of this Annual Report, we utilize artificial intelligence, or AI, to empower the multi-language captioning and transcription features of our Xyvid Pro platform, and we plan to implement additional features driven by artificial intelligence in the future. See “Item 1. Business – Growth Strategies – Enhancing Technology and Innovation.” As with many innovations, there are associated risks involved in utilizing AI technology. There can be no assurance that our use of AI will eventually produce the intended results. Even if it could produce the intended results, we cannot guarantee that such AI will not produce errors going forward. AI, particularly generative AI, has been known to produce false or “hallucinatory” inferences or outputs. AI can also present ethical issues and may subject us to new or heightened legal, regulatory, ethical, or other challenges. Inappropriate or controversial data practices by developers and end-users, or other factors adversely affecting public opinion concerning AI, could impair the acceptance of AI solutions, including those incorporated in our services. If the AI tools that we use are deficient, inaccurate, or controversial, we could incur operational inefficiencies, competitive harm, legal liability, brand or reputational harm, or other adverse impacts on our business and financial results. In addition, regulation of AI is rapidly evolving worldwide, as legislators and regulators are increasingly focused on these powerful emerging technologies.

Previous wording
Our competitors vary in size and in the breadth and scope of the products and services they offer. Many of our actual and potential competitors benefit from competitive advantages over us, such as greater name recognition; longer operating histories; more varied products and services; larger marketing budgets; more established marketing relationships; more third-party integration; greater accessibility across devices or applications; greater access to larger user bases; and greater financial, technical, and other resources. Some of our competitors may make acquisitions or strategic investments or enter into strategic relationships to offer a broader range of products and services than we do, which may prevent us from using such third parties’ technology or offering such products or services. These combinations may make it more difficult for us to compete effectively. We expect these trends to continue as competitors attempt to strengthen or maintain their market positions. As we introduce new services, and with the introduction of new technologies and market entrants, we expect competition to intensify in the future.

Demand for our platform is price sensitive. Many factors, including our pricing and marketing strategies, customer acquisition, and technology costs, as well as the pricing and marketing strategies of our competitors, can significantly affect our pricing strategies. Certain competitors offer, or may in the future offer, lower-priced or free products or services that compete with our platform or certain aspects of our platform, and they may offer a broader range of products and services than we do. Even if such competing products do not include all of the features and functionality that we provide, we could face pricing pressure to the extent that customers find such alternative products to be sufficient to meet their needs. Similarly, certain competitors or potential competitors may use marketing strategies that enable them to acquire customers at a lower cost than we can. Moreover, our major customers may demand substantial price concessions. As a result, we may be required to provide our major customers with pricing below our targets in the future. As a result, we could lose market share to our competitors or be forced to engage in price-cutting initiatives or other discounts to attract and retain customers, each of which could harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.

For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the same single customer independently accounted for more than 10% of our total revenue; accounting for approximately 64.6% and 51.1% of our total revenue, respectively. See “Item 1. Business—Our Customers.” We believe that, in the foreseeable future, we may continue to derive a significant portion of our revenue from such significant customer. If such customer fails to make payments, or experiences a downturn in business, our revenue and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected. We may lose our significant customer due to a variety of factors, including our capacity to deliver reliable services, service efficiency, as well as our competitiveness in pricing strategies. We cannot guarantee that we will continue to maintain the business relationship with our significant customer at the same level, or at all. If our significant customer terminates its relationship with us, we cannot assure you that we will be able to secure an alternative arrangement with a comparable customer in a timely manner, or at all. Losing our significant customer could adversely affect our revenue and profitability. In the short term, losing our significant customer may lead to a substantial loss of revenue and potentially disrupt cash flow. In the long term, it could impact market perception and our ability to attract new customers.

For the year ended December 31, 2024, one supplier independently accounted for more than 10% of our total purchases, accounting for approximately 17.9% of our total purchases. For the year ended December 31, 2023, one supplier independently accounted for more than 10% of our total purchases, accounting for approximately 27.2% of our total purchases. See “Item 1. Business—Our Suppliers.” Such third-party suppliers are subject to their own unique operational and financial risks, which are beyond our control. If such significant suppliers breach or terminate their contracts with us, or experience significant disruptions to their operations, we will be required to find and enter into arrangements with one or more replacement suppliers. Finding alternative suppliers could involve significant delays and other costs and these suppliers may not be available to us on reasonable terms, or at all. As a result, this could harm our business and financial results and result in lost or deferred revenue.

Our ability to attract and retain customers depends on our ability to provide our customers and their users with a highly reliable platform. We currently use data centers in the United States. Our platform may not be fully available to customers in the event of catastrophic failure at one of those data centers. We also do not control the operation of the data centers we use, and they are vulnerable to damage or interruption from human error, intentional bad acts, natural disasters, war, terrorist attacks, cyber-attacks and other cybersecurity incidents, power losses, hardware failures, systems failures, telecommunications failures and similar events, any of which could disrupt our services. In the event of significant physical damage to one of these data centers, it may take a significant period of time to achieve full resumption of our platform, and our disaster recovery planning may not account for all eventualities. As of the date of this annual report, we have experienced service disruptions, outages and other performance problems, due to the introduction of new functionality, human error, and capacity constraints, and we may in the future experience further service disruptions, outages and other performance problems due to a variety of other factors, including infrastructure changes, software errors, zero-day vulnerabilities, and denial-of-service attacks, ransomware attacks and other cybersecurity incidents by malicious actors. In some instances, we may not be able to rectify these performance issues within an acceptable time-frame.

Previous wording
For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, we had total revenue of approximately $3.5 million and $3.7 million, respectively, and net loss of approximately $3.0 million and $1.7 million, respectively. Our financial results in the past may not be indicative of future results, and we cannot assure you that we will achieve or maintain profitability on a consistent basis. Our revenue growth may slow, or our revenue may decline for a number of reasons, including reduced demand for our products and services, increased competition, industry trend, or our failure to capitalize on growth opportunities. Meanwhile, we expect our overall operating expenses to continue to increase in the foreseeable future, as we will incur additional expenses in connection with the expansion of our business operations and as a newly public company. These efforts and additional expenses may be more costly than we currently expect, and there is no assurance that we will be able to maintain sufficient operating revenue to offset our operating expenses. Any failure to increase revenue or to manage our costs as we continue to grow and invest in our business would prevent us from achieving or maintaining profitability or maintaining positive operating cash flow at all, or on a consistent basis, which would cause our business, financial condition, and results of operations to suffer.

Occurrence of any catastrophic event, including pandemics such as COVID-19, earthquakes, fires, floods, tsunamis or other weather event, power loss, telecommunications failure, software or hardware malfunctions, cyberattacks, war or terrorist attacks, could result in lengthy interruptions in our services. In particular, our corporate headquarters are located in Pennsylvania, a region known for flooding, and our insurance coverage may not sufficiently compensate us for losses that may occur in the event of a severe flooding event or other significant natural disaster. In addition, acts of terrorism could cause disruptions to the internet, the electric grid or the economy as a whole. If our systems were to fail or be negatively impacted as a result of a natural disaster or other catastrophic event, our ability to deliver our products and services to our customers would be impaired or we could lose critical data. If we are unable to develop adequate plans to ensure that our business functions continue to operate during and after a disaster and to execute successfully on those plans in the event of a disaster or emergency, our business could be harmed.
Current wording
Occurrence of any catastrophic event, including pandemics, earthquakes, fires, floods, tsunamis or other weather event, power loss, telecommunications failure, software or hardware malfunctions, cyberattacks, war or terrorist attacks, could result in lengthy interruptions in our services. In particular, our corporate headquarters are located in Pennsylvania, a region known for flooding, and our insurance coverage may not sufficiently compensate us for losses that may occur in the event of a severe flooding event or other significant natural disaster. In addition, acts of terrorism could cause disruptions to the internet, the electric grid or the economy as a whole. If our systems were to fail or be negatively impacted as a result of a natural disaster or other catastrophic event, our ability to deliver our products and services to our customers would be impaired or we could lose critical data. If we are unable to develop adequate plans to ensure that our business functions continue to operate during and after a disaster and to execute successfully on those plans in the event of a disaster or emergency, our business could be harmed.

In the United States, federal, state, and local governments have enacted numerous privacy, data protection, and information security laws, including data breach notification laws, consumer protection laws, and other similar laws. See “Item 1. Business—Regulations.” While as of the date of this annual report, we have not been subject to any legal or administrative penalties or received any notifications from regulatory authorities for privacy, data protection, or information security concerns, the developments or changes to the applicable laws and regulations may complicate compliance efforts and increase legal risk and compliance costs for us and the third parties upon whom we rely. If we fail to comply with stringent and evolving laws and regulations, industry standards, policies, and contractual obligations relating to privacy, data protection, information security, and other matters, it could harm our reputation and business and subject us to significant fines and liability.

As a service provider, we do not regularly monitor our platform to evaluate the legality of content shared on it by our customers. While as of the date of this annual report, we have not been subject to legal or administrative actions as a result of the content shared on our platform, the laws in this area are evolving and vary widely between jurisdictions. Accordingly, it may be possible that in the future we and our business partners may be subject to legal actions involving our customers’ content or use of our platform.

Previous wording
From time to time, we may be involved in various claims, controversies, lawsuits, legal proceedings, or regulatory inquiries that arise in the ordinary course of business involving labor and employment, wage and hour, intellectual property, data breach and other matters. See “Item 1. Business—Legal Proceedings.” We expect that the number and significance of these potential disputes or claims may increase as our business expands and our company grows larger. Contractual provisions and insurance coverage may not cover potential claims and may not be adequate to indemnify us for all liabilities we may face. Any claims against us, whether meritorious or not, could be time consuming, result in costly litigation, require significant amounts of management time, and result in the diversion of significant operational resources. Litigation is inherently unpredictable, and the results of any claims may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects. In addition, negative publicity regarding claims or judgments made against our Company may damage our reputation and may result in a material adverse impact on us.

Our certificate of incorporation permits us to issue, without approval from our stockholders, a total of 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, none of which are outstanding. Our board of directors can determine the designations, powers, preferences and voting and other rights, and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions granted to, or imposed upon, the shares of preferred stock and to fix the number of shares constituting any series and the designation of such series. It is possible that our board of directors, in determining the rights, preferences and privileges to be granted when the preferred stock is issued, may include provisions that have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control, discouraging bids for our common stock at a premium over the market price, or that adversely affect the market price of and the voting and other rights of the holders of our common stock.

We are a public company in the United States subject to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 will require that we include a report of management on our internal control over financial reporting in our annual report on 10-K beginning with our annual report for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025. In addition, once we cease to be an “emerging growth company,” as such term is defined in the JOBS Act, our independent registered public accounting firm must attest to and report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Our management may conclude that our internal control over financial reporting is not effective. Moreover, even if our management concludes that our internal control over financial reporting is effective, our independent registered public accounting firm, after conducting its own independent testing, may issue a report that is qualified, if it is not satisfied with our internal controls or the level at which our controls are documented, designed, operated, or reviewed, or if it interprets the relevant requirements differently from us. In addition, after we become a public company, our reporting obligations may place a significant strain on our management, operational, and financial resources and systems for the foreseeable future. We may be unable to complete our evaluation testing and any required remediation in a timely manner.

We completed our initial offering in 2025 and have started bearing significant legal, accounting, and other expenses as a public company that we did not incur as a private company since then. These additional costs could negatively affect our financial results. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as rules subsequently implemented by the SEC and Nasdaq, impose various requirements on the corporate governance practices of public companies.
Current wording
We completed our initial public offering in February 2025 and have started bearing significant legal, accounting, and other expenses as a public company that we did not incur as a private company. These additional costs could negatively affect our financial results. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as rules subsequently implemented by the SEC and Nasdaq, impose various requirements on the corporate governance practices of public companies.
Previous wording
Compliance with these laws, rules, and regulations increases our legal and financial compliance costs and makes some corporate activities more time-consuming and costlier. These laws, regulations, and standards are subject to varying interpretations and, as a result, their application in practice may evolve over time as new guidance is provided by regulatory and governing bodies. We intend to invest resources to comply with evolving laws, regulations, and standards, and this investment may result in increased general and administrative expenses and a diversion of management’s time and attention from revenue-generating activities to compliance activities. In addition, we will incur additional costs associated with our public company reporting requirements. It may also be more difficult for us to find qualified persons to serve on our board of directors or as executive officers.

There can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain the listing standards of Nasdaq, the exchange on which our common stock is traded, which includes requirements that we maintain our stockholders’ equity, total value of shares of common stock held by unaffiliated stockholders, minimum bid price, and market capitalization above certain specified levels.
Current wording
There can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain the listing standards of the Nasdaq Capital Market, the exchange on which our common stock is traded, which includes requirements that we maintain our stockholders’ equity, total value of shares of common stock held by unaffiliated stockholders, minimum bid price, and market capitalization above certain specified levels. For example, on June 30, 2025, we received a deficiency letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of Nasdaq notifying us that the Company had not been in compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum bid price requirement. In order to cure the deficiency, we effected a 1-for-15 reverse stock split on December 1, 2025 to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum bid price requirement. Because we effected such reverse stock split to cure our minimum bid price deficiency in December 2025, should our stock price fail to meet Nasdaq’s minimum bid price requirement at any time prior to December 1, 2026, we will not be eligible for any compliance period and our stock will be immediately delisted.
Previous wording
If we fail to conform to the Nasdaq listing requirements on an ongoing basis, our common stock might cease to trade on Nasdaq, and may move to the OTCQB or OTC Pink Markets operated by OTC Markets Group, Inc. These quotation services are generally considered to be markets that are less efficient and that provide less liquidity in the shares of common stock than Nasdaq.
Current wording

These quotation services are generally considered to be markets that are less efficient and that provide less liquidity in the shares of common stock than Nasdaq. A delisting could substantially decrease trading in our common stock, adversely affect the market liquidity of our common stock as a result of the loss of market efficiencies associated with Nasdaq and the loss of federal preemption of state securities laws, adversely affect our ability to obtain financing on acceptable terms, if at all, and may result in the potential loss of confidence by investors, suppliers, customers and employees and fewer business development opportunities.
Previous wording
We will be a “controlled company” within the meaning of the Nasdaq listing rules, and will follow certain exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements that could adversely affect our public stockholders.
Current wording
We are no longer a “controlled company” within the meaning of the Nasdaq listing rules. However, we will continue to rely on certain exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements during a transition period that could adversely affect our public stockholders.

As of the date of this annual report, we utilize artificial intelligence, or AI, to empower the multi-language captioning and transcription features of our Xyvid Pro Platform, and we plan to implement additional features driven by artificial intelligence in the future. The initial AI-driven enhancements are expected to be available in the second quarter of 2025. See “Item 1. Business—Growth Strategies—Enhancing Technology and Innovation.” As with many innovations, there are associated risks involved in utilizing AI technology. There can be no assurance that our use of AI will eventually produce the intended results. Even if it could produce the intended results, we cannot guarantee that such AI will not produce errors going forward. AI, particularly generative AI, has been known to produce false or “hallucinatory” inferences or outputs. AI can also present ethical issues and may subject us to new or heightened legal, regulatory, ethical, or other challenges. Inappropriate or controversial data practices by developers and end-users, or other factors adversely affecting public opinion concerning AI, could impair the acceptance of AI solutions, including those incorporated in our services. If the AI tools that we use are deficient, inaccurate, or controversial, we could incur operational inefficiencies, competitive harm, legal liability, brand or reputational harm, or other adverse impacts on our business and financial results.
