Risks Related to Our TON Treasury Strategy and Toncoin Holdings
Current report
Our financial results and the market price of the common stock may be affected by the price of Toncoin.
Current report
Toncoin is a highly volatile asset, and fluctuations in the price of Toncoin, like fluctuations experienced in prior years, are likely to influence our financial results and the market price of our common stock. Our financial results and the market price of our common stock has in the past been and would in the future be adversely affected, and our business and financial condition would be negatively impacted, if the price of Toncoin decreased substantially (as it has in the past) or entirely, including as a result of:
Current report
The Company’s Toncoin holdings will be less liquid than existing cash and cash equivalents and may not be able to serve as a source of liquidity for it to the same extent as cash and cash equivalents.
Current report
The Toncoin market has been characterized by significant volatility in price, limited liquidity and trading volumes compared to sovereign currencies markets and certain other digital assets, relative anonymity, a developing regulatory landscape, potential susceptibility to market abuse and manipulation, compliance and internal control failures at exchanges, and various risks inherent in its entirely electronic, virtual form and decentralized network. During times of market instability or due to contractual arrangements, we may not be able to sell our Toncoin at favorable prices, for a certain period of time, or at all. For example, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company entered into a purchase agreement on July 31, 2025, pursuant to which the purchased Toncoins are subject to a lock-up period. As a result, our Toncoin holdings may not be able to serve as a source of liquidity for us to the same extent as cash and cash equivalents. Furthermore, Toncoin we hold with our custodians and transact with our trade execution partners will not enjoy the same protections as are available to cash or securities deposited with or transacted by institutions subject to regulation by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or the Securities Investor Protection Corporation. Additionally, we may be unable to enter into term loans or other capital raising transactions collateralized by our unencumbered Toncoin or otherwise generate funds using our Toncoin holdings, including in particular during times of market instability or when the price of Toncoin may have experienced significant decline. If we are unable to sell our Toncoin, enter into additional capital raising transactions, including capital raising transactions using Toncoin as collateral, or otherwise generate funds using our Toncoin holdings, or if we are forced to sell our Toncoin at a significant loss, in order to meet our working capital requirements, our business and financial condition could be negatively impacted.
Current report
We have recently announced our new TON treasury strategy, and we may be unable to successfully implement it.
Current report
We have announced a significant change in strategy to our new TON treasury strategy. There is no assurance that we will be able to successfully implement this new strategy or operate Toncoin-related activities at the scale or profitability currently anticipated. TON operates with a Proof-of-Stake (“PoS”) consensus mechanism. This strategic shift requires specialized employee skillsets and operational, technical and compliance infrastructure to support Toncoin and related staking activities. Our new strategy also requires that we implement different security protocols and treasury management practices. Errors bythe Company could result in significant loss of funds and reduced rewards. Further, there is ongoing scrutiny and limited formal guidance from regulatory agencies, including Nasdaq and the SEC, with respect to the treatment of public company cryptocurrency treasury strategies. As a result, our shift to our TON treasury strategy could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.
Current report
Our TON treasury strategy requires substantial changes in our day-to-day operations and exposes us to significant operational risks.
Current report
Consensus on the TON network is accomplished through a Proof-of-Stake mechanism in which validators stake Toncoin to participate in block production and validation. Validators are selected through periodic election rounds, and the frequency at which a validator participates in consensus is generally proportional to its staked Toncoin. Validators earn rewards derived from transaction fees and network-generated Toncoin for successfully validating blocks. We may choose to operate our own validator node or delegate our Toncoin to third-party validators through nominator pools. If we delegate to third-party validators, those validators typically retain a commission from staking rewards, which would reduce our returns. The TON network automatically imposes slashing penalties on validators that experience significant downtime, commit consensus faults such as double-signing, or produce invalid blocks, and so would require that we maintain consistent up time to ensure that we are eligible for staking rewards and to avoid slashing penalties. If we delegate our Toncoin through a nominator pool, our delegated stake would also be subject to slashing proportionally if the underlying validator is penalized, which would be outside of our control.
Current report
Staked Toncoin is also subject to lock-up periods tied to election cycles, during which it cannot be withdrawn or sold. This lack of liquidity could limit our ability to respond to market changes or meet our financial needs. We may seek to mitigate this risk through liquid staking protocols, where we deposit Toncoin into a smart contract and receive a liquid staking token in exchange. While we anticipate that the price of liquid staking tokens will generally correlate to Toncoin, prices could diverge, particularly if the validators utilized by the liquid staking protocol are subject to slashing penalties, in which case we may be able to withdraw fewer Toncoin than we originally deposited.
Current report
The TON ecosystem continues to evolve, with protocol upgrades and changes that may require adjustments to our or our validators’ operational setup. Technical failures, slashing events, or operational errors could impact our ability to obtain staking rewards, which could result in our failure to meet our financial projections. Any of these operational risks could materially and adversely affect our ability to execute our TON treasury strategy and may prevent us from realizing positive returns and could severely hurt our financial condition.
Current report
Digital assets do not pay interest, dividends or other returns and must be used in staking or decentralized finance activities to generate revenue, which involves additional risks.
Current report
Digital assets such as Toncoin do not pay interest, dividends, or other returns and we can only generate revenue from our digital asset holdings if we sell our digital assets or implement strategies to create revenue streams or otherwise generate cash by using our digital asset holdings. For example, the Toncoin we purchase can be deployed in profit-making activities by operating a validator, staking to other validators, or engaging in yield-generating activities in decentralized financing.
Current report
Even if we pursue any strategies such as staking or decentralized finance transactions, we may be unable to create revenue streams or otherwise generate cash from our digital asset holdings, and any such strategies may subject us to additional risks. All trading and investment activity involves risk, which is heightened in the case of decentralized finance due to the irrevocable nature of blockchain transactions and the possibility of errors in smart contracts. Decentralized finance protocols also attract hackers and persons looking to exploit flaws in or the ability to misuse smart contracts, which may result in loss of our digital assets. We also may incur losses in connection with our decentralized finance activity due to human error or our inability to predict future price movements, or due to “slashing” in connection with our staking activities. Any losses we sustain in connection with decentralized finance activities or staking could cause an adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations, and the market price of our common stock.
Current report
In connection with our TON treasury strategy, we expect to interact with various smart contracts deployed on TON, which may expose us to risks and technical vulnerabilities.
Current report
In connection with our TON treasury strategy, including staking, restaking, liquid staking, and other decentralized finance activities, we expect to interact with various smart contracts deployed on TON in order to optimize our strategy. Smart contracts are self-executing code that operate without human intervention once deployed. Although smart contracts are integral to the functionality of staking deposit contracts, liquid staking protocols, restaking platforms, and decentralized finance applications, they are subject to many known risks such as technical vulnerabilities, coding errors, security flaws, and exploits. Any vulnerability in a smart contract we interact with could result in the loss or theft of Toncoin or other digital assets, which could have a materially adverse impact on our business. A vulnerability in a smart contract could create an unintended and unforeseeable consequence that has adverse financial consequences, such as the inability to access funds. There is no assurance that the smart contracts we integrate with or rely upon will function as intended or remain secure. Exploitation of such vulnerabilities could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.
Current report
A significant decrease in the market value of our Toncoin holdings could adversely affect our ability to satisfy our financial obligations under any future debt financings.
Current report
Our ability to make scheduled payments on or to refinance any indebtedness and financial commitments we incur depends on our financial condition and operating performance, which are subject to prevailing economic and competitive conditions including financial, business and other factors beyond our control. If the market value of Toncoin decreases significantly, we may be unable to generate sufficient cash flow to permit us to pay the principal, premium, if any, and interest on any indebtedness.
Current report
If our cash flows and capital resources are insufficient to fund debt and other obligations, we may be forced to reduce or delay capital expenditures, sell assets, seek additional capital or restructure our indebtedness. Our ability to restructure or refinance indebtedness will depend on the condition of the capital markets and our financial condition at such time. Any refinancing of indebtedness could be at higher interest rates and may require us to comply with more onerous covenants, which could further restrict our operations. The terms of existing or future debt instruments may restrict us from adopting some of these alternatives. In addition, any failure to service our debt would likely result in a reduction of our credit rating, which could harm our ability to incur additional indebtedness. If we face substantial liquidity problems, we might be required to sell assets to meet debt and other obligations. Future indebtedness may restrict our ability to dispose of assets and dictates our use of the proceeds from such disposition.
Current report
We may not be able to consummate dispositions, and the proceeds of any such disposition may be inadequate to meet obligations. We may be unable to access adequate funding as a result of a decrease in lender commitments due to an unwillingness or inability on the part of lending counterparties to meet their funding obligations and the inability of other lenders to provide additional funding to cover a defaulting lender’s portion. As a result, we may be unable to execute our plan of operations, make acquisitions or otherwise conduct operations, which would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Current report
Unrealized fair value gains on our Toncoin holdings could cause us to become subject to the corporate alternative minimum tax.
Current report
Unless an exemption applies, the Internal Revenue Code imposes a 15% corporate alternative minimum tax (“CAMT”) on certain corporations. In general, CAMT applies to corporations with respect to their initial tax year and subsequent tax years if the average annual adjusted financial statement income for any consecutive three-tax-year period preceding the initial tax year exceeds $1 billion. However, the determination of CAMT applicability is computationally and administratively complex and limited guidance has been provided by the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”). In June 2025, the Internal Revenue Service released a notice covering CAMT, which included an optional simplified method for determining CAMT applicability and announced its intention to revise regulations addressing CAMT that were proposed in September 2024.
Current report
The Company may be required to adopt ASU 2023-08, under which the Company’s Toncoin holdings must be measured at fair value in the Company’s statement of financial position, with gains and losses from changes in the fair value of Toncoin recognized in net income each reporting period. When determining whether the Company is subject to CAMT and when calculating any related tax liability for an applicable tax year, although the September 2024 proposed regulations provide that, among other adjustments, the Company’s adjusted financial statement income must include any unrealized gains or losses reported in the applicable tax year, the June 2025 notice indicated that the IRS intends to issue additional interim guidance addressing how unrealized gains and losses on certain investment assets, such as the Company’s Toncoin holdings, which are reported for financial statement purposes, are taken into account for purposes of determining the application of CAMT, and that the revised CAMT regulations will incorporate such interim guidance.
Current report
Accordingly, although the exact approach that any guidance from the IRS or revised CAMT regulations would take is unclear, it is possible that if the Company adopted ASU 2023-08, the Company could become subject to CAMT. If the Company becomes subject to CAMT, it could result in a material tax obligation that the Company would need to satisfy in cash, which could materially affect the Company’s financial results, including its earnings and cash flow, and its financial condition.
Current report
Future developments regarding the treatment of crypto assets for U.S. and non-U.S. tax purposes could adversely impact the Company’s business and liquidity.
Current report
Due to the evolving nature of cryptocurrencies and the absence of comprehensive legal and tax guidance with respect to digital asset products and transactions, many significant aspects of the U.S. and non-U.S. tax treatment of transactions involving cryptocurrencies are uncertain, and it is unclear whether, when and what guidance may be issued in the future. In 2014, the IRS released Notice 2014-21, discussing certain aspects of “virtual currency” for U.S. federal income tax purposes and, in particular, stating that such virtual currency (i) is “property,” (ii) is not “currency” for purposes of the rules relating to foreign currency gain or loss, and (iii) may be held as a capital asset. In 2019, the IRS released Revenue Ruling 2019-24 and a set of “Frequently Asked Questions” (which have been periodically updated), that provide additional guidance, including guidance to the effect that, under certain circumstances, hard forks of digital currencies are taxable events giving rise to ordinary income and guidance with respect to the determination of the tax basis of virtual currency. However, this guidance does not address other significant aspects of the U.S. federal income tax treatment of cryptocurrencies and related transactions.
Current report
There continues to be uncertainty with respect to the timing, character and amount of income inclusions for various digital asset transactions. Although we believe our treatment of digital asset transactions for U.S. federal income tax purposes is consistent with existing guidance provided by the IRS and existing U.S. federal income tax principles, because of the rapidly evolving nature of digital asset innovations and the increasing variety and complexity of digital asset transactions and products, it is possible the IRS and various U.S. states may disagree with our treatment of certain digital asset transactions for U.S. tax purposes, which could adversely affect our business. There can be no assurance that the IRS, the U.S. state revenue agencies or other non-U.S. tax authorities, will not alter their respective positions with respect to cryptocurrencies in the future or that a court would uphold the treatment set forth in existing guidance. It also is unclear what additional guidance may be issued in the future on the treatment of existing digital asset transactions and future digital asset innovations for purposes of U.S. or non-U.S. tax regulations. Any such alteration of existing IRS, U.S. state and non-U.S. tax authority positions or additional guidance regarding digital asset products and transactions could result in adverse tax consequences for holders of cryptocurrencies and could have an adverse effect on the value of cryptocurrencies and the broader cryptocurrency markets. Future technological and operational developments that may arise with respect to cryptocurrencies may increase the uncertainty with respect to the treatment of cryptocurrency for U.S. and non-U.S. tax purposes. The uncertainty regarding tax treatment of digital asset transactions could adversely impact our business and our operations, including how we are taxed, if the volume of cryptocurrency transactions decreases due to an adverse tax effect.
Current report
The regulatory and legislative environment for digital assets is evolving rapidly and remains uncertain; changes in applicable law or regulation could materially and adversely affect our ability to execute our TON Treasury Strategy.
Current report
Toncoin and other digital assets are relatively novel and are subject to significant uncertainty, which could adversely impact their price. The application of state and federal securities laws and other laws and regulations to digital assets is unclear in certain respects, and it is possible that regulators in the United States or foreign countries may interpret or apply existing laws and regulations in a manner that adversely affects the price of Toncoin or the ability of individuals or institutions such as us to own or transfer Toncoin.
Current report
The U.S. federal government, states, regulatory agencies, and foreign countries may also enact new laws and regulations, or pursue regulatory, legislative, enforcement or judicial actions, that could materially impact the price of Toncoin or the ability of individuals or institutions such as us to own or transfer Toncoin. For example, without limitation, within the past several years:
Current report
Furthermore, in 2019 the SEC filed a complaint against Telegram alleging that Telegram was conducting an unregistered offering of securities by selling interests (in the form of promissory notes) in unissued and incomplete “Grams”, which at the time was the proposed native token of the proposed Telegram Open Network blockchain. A district court enjoined Telegram’s distribution of Grams, ultimately resulting in Telegram returning more than $1.2 billion to investors and paying an $18.5 million civil penalty, on the basis that the SEC had shown a substantial likelihood of success in proving that Telegram’s plan to distribute Grams was an unregistered offering of securities to which no exemption applied. Following the injunction, Telegram ceased involvement with the Telegram Open Network blockchain. Grams were not fully developed, and the test version of the tokens was placed into smart contracts, which anyone could mine. A community of open-source developers continued development of the Telegram Open Network using its codebase, architecture, and documentation, subsequently updating its testnet to mainnet and rebranding it as TON, and used the open-source code as the basis for Toncoin.
Current report
Future regulatory actions, changes in interpretation or administrations, or new legislation could adversely affect our ability to hold, acquire, or utilize Toncoin and other crypto assets, and could materially impact our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Current report
Furthermore, these types of activities are subject to heightened regulatory scrutiny, and future changes in laws or regulations could restrict our ability to engage in such strategies or impact our ability to recover assets in the event of a counterparty default. If we are unable to recover our Toncoin or funds from a counterparty, or if regulatory changes adversely affect our ability to generate income from our Toncoin holdings, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.
Current report
It is not possible to predict whether, or when, new laws will be enacted that change the legal framework governing digital assets or provide additional authorities to the SEC or other regulators, or whether, or when, any other federal, state or foreign legislative bodies will take any similar actions. It is also not possible to predict the nature of any such additional laws or authorities, how additional legislation or regulatory oversight might impact the ability of digital asset markets to function, the willingness of financial and other institutions to continue to provide services to the digital assets industry, or how any new laws or regulations, or changes to existing laws or regulations, might impact the value of digital assets generally and Toncoin specifically. The consequences of any new law or regulation relating to digital assets and digital asset activities could adversely affect the market price of Toncoin, as well as our ability to hold or transact in Toncoin, and in turn adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
Current report
Moreover, the risks of engaging in a TON treasury strategy are relatively novel and have created, and could continue to create, complications due to the lack of experience that third parties have with companies engaging in such a strategy, such as increased costs of director and officer liability insurance or the potential inability to obtain such coverage on acceptable terms in the future.
Current report
The growth of the digital assets industry in general, and the use and acceptance of Toncoin in particular, may also impact the price of Toncoin and is subject to a high degree of uncertainty. The pace of worldwide growth in the adoption and use of Toncoin may depend, for instance, on public familiarity with digital assets, ease of buying, accessing or gaining exposure to Toncoin, institutional demand for Toncoin as an investment asset, the participation of traditional financial institutions in the digital assets industry, consumer demand for Toncoin as a store of value or means of payment, and the availability and popularity of alternatives to Toncoin. Certain other digital assets are better-known and have more liquidity than Toncoin. Even if growth in Toncoin adoption occurs in the near or medium-term, there is no assurance that Toncoin usage will continue to grow over the long-term.
Current report
Because Toncoin has no physical existence beyond the record of transactions on TON blockchain, a variety of technical factors related to TON blockchain could also impact the price of Toncoin. For example, malicious attacks by certain network participants, inadequate fees to incentivize validating of transactions, hard “forks” of TON blockchain into multiple blockchains, and advances in digital computing, algebraic geometry, and quantum computing could undercut the integrity of TON blockchain and negatively affect the price of Toncoin. The liquidity of Toncoin may also be reduced and damage to the public perception of Toncoin may occur, if financial institutions were to deny or limit banking services to businesses that hold Toncoin, provide Toncoin-related services or accept Toncoin as payment, which could also decrease the price of Toncoin. Actions by U.S. banking regulators, such as the issuance in February 2023 by federal banking agencies of the “Interagency Liquidity Risk Statement,” which cautioned banks on contagion risks posed by providing services to digital assets customers, and similar actions, have in the past resulted in or contributed to reductions in access to banking services for Toncoin-related customers and service providers, or the willingness of traditional financial institution to participate in markets for digital assets. Though this statement was withdrawn in April 2025, indicating a shift towards a more permissive stance on crypto-asset activities for financial institutions. there is no guarantee that federal banking agencies in the future will maintain this approach. The liquidity of Toncoin may also be impacted to the extent that changes in applicable laws and regulatory requirements negatively impact the ability of exchanges and trading venues to provide services for Toncoin and other digital assets.
Current report
The availability of spot ETPs for digital assets may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
Current report
Given the relative novelty of digital assets, general lack of familiarity with the processes needed to hold digital assets directly, as well as the potential reluctance of financial planners and advisers to recommend direct digital asset holdings to their retail customers because of the manner in which such holdings are custodied, some investors have sought exposure to digital assets, particularly Bitcoin, through investment vehicles that hold digital assets and issue shares representing fractional undivided interests in their underlying digital asset holdings. These vehicles, which were previously offered only to “accredited investors” on a private placement basis, have in the past traded at substantial premiums to net asset value, possibly due to the relative scarcity of traditional investment vehicles providing investment exposure to the underlying digital asset.
Current report
On January 10, 2024, the SEC approved the listing and trading of spot bitcoin ETPs, the shares of which can be sold in public offerings and are traded on U.S. national securities exchanges. Additionally, on May 23, 2024, the SEC approved rule changes permitting the listing and trading of spot ETPs that invest in ether, the main crypto asset supporting the Ethereum blockchain. The approved spot ETPs commenced trading directly to the public on July 23, 2024. Furthermore, on July 29, 2025, the SEC approved orders that permit in-kind creations and redemptions for crypto asset ETPs, aligning the regulatory treatment of digital asset ETPs with established practices for traditional commodity-based ETPs. The SEC has not, to date, but may in the future approve, a spot Toncoin ETP. The listing and trading of spot ETPs for ether offers investors another alternative to gain exposure to digital assets, which could result in a decline in the trading price of Toncoin as well as a decline in the value of our common stock relative to the value of our Toncoin.

Previous report
From time to time, we have financed our liquidity needs in part from borrowings made under various credit agreements. As of December 31, 2024, the aggregate outstanding balance of our note payable was $0.1 million. The note payable balance, including accrued interest, was fully repaid on March 7, 2025.
Previous report
We may be subject to risks associated with artificial intelligence and machine learning technology.
Previous report
We may not be able to find suitable software developers at an acceptable cost or at all.
Previous report
We currently rely on certain key suppliers and vendors in the coding and maintenance of our software. We will continue to require such expertise in the future. Due to the current demand for skilled software developers, we run the risk of not being able to find or retain suitable and qualified personnel at an acceptable price, or at all. These risks may be greater now than in the past due to current general labor shortages in the United States. Without these developers, we may not be able to further develop and maintain our software, which is the most important aspect of our business development.
Previous report
If we are not able to comply with the applicable continued listing requirements or standards of The NASDAQ Capital Market, The NASDAQ Capital Market could delist and adversely affect the market price and liquidity of our common stock.
Previous report
Our common stock is currently traded on The NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol “VERB”. We have in the past been, and may in the future be, unable to comply with certain of the listing standards that we are required to meet to maintain the listing of our common stock on The NASDAQ Capital Market. If we fail to meet any of the continued listing standards of The NASDAQ Capital Market, our common stock will be delisted from The NASDAQ Capital Market.
Previous report
These continued listing standards include specifically enumerated criteria, such as a $1.00 minimum closing bid price and a requirement that we maintain stockholders’ equity of at least $2,500,000.
Previous report
There can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain continued compliance with the listing requirements of The NASDAQ Capital Market. If we were unable to meet these requirements, we would receive a delisting notice from the Nasdaq Capital Market for failure to comply with one or more of the continued listing requirements. If our common stock were to be delisted from The NASDAQ Capital Market, trading of our common stock most likely will be conducted in the over-the-counter market on an electronic bulletin board established for unlisted securities such as the OTC Markets or in the “pink sheets.” Such a downgrading in our listing market may limit our ability to make a market in our common stock and which may impact purchases or sales of our securities.
Previous report
Our issuance of additional shares of preferred stock could adversely affect the market value of our common stock, dilute the voting power of common stockholders and delay or prevent a change of control.
Previous report
Our board of directors have the authority to cause us to issue, without any further vote or action by the stockholders, shares of preferred stock in one or more series, to designate the number of shares constituting any series, and to fix the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions thereof, including dividend rights, voting rights, rights and terms of redemption, redemption price or prices and liquidation preferences of such series.
Previous report
The issuance of shares of preferred stock with dividend or conversion rights, liquidation preferences or other economic terms favorable to the holders of preferred stock could adversely affect the market price for our common stock by making an investment in the common stock less attractive. For example, investors in the common stock may not wish to purchase common stock at a price above the conversion price of a series of convertible preferred stock because the holders of the preferred stock would effectively be entitled to purchase common stock at the lower conversion price causing economic dilution to the holders of common stock.
Previous report
Further, the issuance of shares of preferred stock with voting rights may adversely affect the voting power of the holders of our other classes of voting stock either by diluting the voting power of our other classes of voting stock if they vote together as a single class, or by giving the holders of any such preferred stock the right to block an action on which they have a separate class vote even if the action were approved by the holders of our other classes of voting stock. The issuance of shares of preferred stock may also have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of our company without further action by the stockholders, even where stockholders are offered a premium for their shares.
Previous report
If our common stock trades at a price less than $5.00 it would be categorized as a “penny stock”, which may make it more difficult for investors to sell their shares of common stock due to suitability requirements.
Previous report
The SEC has adopted regulations which generally define a “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price (as defined) less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our securities are covered by the penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors”. The term “accredited investor” refers generally to institutions with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with their spouse. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document in a form prepared by the SEC that provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. The bid and offer quotations, and the broker-dealer and salesperson compensation information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or with the customer’s confirmation. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from these rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for the stock that is subject to these penny stock rules. Consequently, these penny stock rules may affect the ability of broker-dealers to trade our securities. We believe that the penny stock rules discourage investor interest in and limit the marketability of our common stock.
Previous report
The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. has adopted sales practice requirements that historically may have limited a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our common stock, which could depress the price of our common stock.
Previous report
In addition to the “penny stock” rules described above, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) has adopted rules that require that, in recommending an investment to a customer, a broker-dealer must have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer. Prior to recommending speculative low-priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker-dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives, and other information. Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative low-priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. Thus, the FINRA requirements historically has made it more difficult for broker-dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which could limit your ability to buy and sell our common stock, have an adverse effect on the market for our shares, and thereby depress our price per share of common stock.

Previous wording
We have incurred recurring losses since our inception in 2012. Our net loss was $10.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, and $22.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. To date, we have funded our operations through cash collected from sales of our products and services, offerings of our equity securities, and debt financing. We have devoted substantially all of our resources to the design, development and commercialization of our products, the scaling of our technology and infrastructure, and our marketing and sales efforts. We may continue to incur significant losses in the future for a number of reasons, including unforeseen expenses, difficulties, complications, delays, and other unknown events.

The extent to which public health threats, natural disasters or catastrophic events, ultimately impacts our business, sales, results of operations and financial condition will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including, but not limited to, the duration and spread of the outbreak, its severity, the actions to contain the virus or treat its impact, and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume.

We have limited capital resources. We have financed our operations entirely through equity investments by founders and other investors and the incurrence of debt, and we expect to continue to finance our operations in the same manner in the foreseeable future. Our ability to continue our normal and planned operations, to grow our business, and to compete in our industry will depend on the availability of adequate capital. We cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain additional funding from those or other sources when or in the amounts needed, on acceptable terms, or at all. If we raise capital through the sale of equity, or securities convertible into equity, it would result in dilution to our then-existing stockholders, which could be significant depending on the price at which we may be able to sell our securities. If we raise additional capital through the incurrence of indebtedness, we would likely become subject to further covenants restricting our business activities, and holders of debt instruments may have rights and privileges senior to those of our then-existing stockholders. In addition, servicing the interest and principal repayment obligations under debt facilities could divert funds that would otherwise be available to support development of new programs and marketing to current and potential new clients. If we are unable to raise capital when needed or on attractive terms, we could be forced to delay, reduce, or eliminate development of new programs or future marketing efforts, or reduce or discontinue our operations. Any of these events could significantly harm our business, financial condition, and prospects.

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, one customer accounted for 26.0% of our revenues. If we are unable to retain our current customers or finding new major customers or gain major new engagements from existing customers to replace any nonrecurring contracts, there may be material adverse effects on our financial condition or results of operations. This potential dependency could threaten the sustainability of our growth and have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations if we are unable to retain such major contracts or replace them with similarly major contracts on a regular basis.

The market for livestream shopping platforms is intensely competitive and rapidly changing, barriers to entry are relatively low, and many of our competitors, have greater name recognition, longer operating histories, and larger marketing budgets, as well as substantially greater financial, technical, and other resources, than we do. In addition, many of our potential competitors have established marketing relationships and access to larger customer bases, and have major distribution agreements with consultants, system integrators, and resellers. As a result, our competitors may be able to respond more effectively than we can to new or changing opportunities, technologies, standards, customer requirements, competitive pressures, or challenges within the financial markets. Furthermore, because of these advantages, even if our products and services are more effective than the products and services that our competitors offer, potential customers might accept competitive products and services in lieu of purchasing our products and services. If we do not compete effectively against our current and future competitors, our operating results could be harmed.

In addition, we are subject to numerous federal, state, provincial and foreign laws regarding privacy and protection of data. Some jurisdictions have enacted laws requiring companies to notify individuals of data security breaches involving certain types of personal data and our agreements with certain customers require us to notify them in the event of a security incident. Evolving regulations regarding personal data and personal information, including the General Data Protection Regulation, the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”), and the recently passed California Privacy Rights Act, which amends the CCPA and has many provisions that became effective on January 1, 2023, especially relating to classification of IP addresses, machine identification, location data and other information, may limit or inhibit our ability to operate or expand our business. Such laws and regulations require or may require us or our customers to implement privacy and security policies, permit consumers to access, correct or delete personal information stored or maintained by us or our customers, inform individuals of security incidents that affect their personal information, and, in some cases, obtain consent to use personal information for specified purposes.

The application and interpretation of such requirements are constantly evolving and are subject to change, creating a complex compliance environment. It is possible that new laws, regulations and other requirements, or amendments to or changes in interpretations of existing laws, regulations, and other requirements, may require us to incur significant costs, implement new processes, or change our processing of information and business operations, which could ultimately hinder our ability to grow our business by extracting value from our data assets.

We believe that we take reasonable steps to protect the security, integrity and confidentiality of the information we collect, use, store, and disclose, and we take steps to strengthen our security protocols and infrastructure, however, our information technology and infrastructure may be vulnerable to attacks by hackers or breached due to employee error, malfeasance, or other disruptions. We also could be negatively impacted by software bugs or other technical malfunctions, as well as employee error or malfeasance. Advanced cyber-attacks can be multi-staged, unfold over time, and utilize a range of attack vectors with military-grade cyber weapons and proven techniques, such as spear phishing and social engineering, leaving organizations and users at high risk of being compromised. Any such access, disclosure, or other loss of information could result in legal claims or proceedings, liability under laws that protect the privacy of personal information, regulatory penalties, a disruption of our operations, damage to our reputation, a loss of confidence in our business, early termination of our contracts and other business losses, indemnification of our customers, liability for stolen assets or information, increased cybersecurity protection and insurance costs, financial penalties, litigation, regulatory investigations and other significant liabilities, any of which could materially harm our business any of which could adversely affect our business, revenues, and competitive position.
Current wording
The steps we take to protect the security, integrity and confidentiality of the information we collect, use, store, disclose and otherwise process, and to strengthen our security protocols and infrastructure may not always be successful, and our information technology and infrastructure may be vulnerable to attacks by hackers or breached due to employee error, malfeasance, or other disruptions. We also could be negatively impacted by software bugs or other technical malfunctions, as well as employee error or malfeasance. Advanced cyber-attacks can be multi-staged, unfold over time, and utilize a range of attack vectors with military-grade cyber weapons and proven techniques, such as spear phishing and social engineering, leaving organizations and users at high risk of being compromised. Any such access, disclosure, or other loss of information, and any failure or perceived failure by us to comply with laws and other requirements relating to the privacy, security and processing of personal information, could result in legal claims or proceedings (including class actions), regulatory penalties, a disruption of our operations, damage to our reputation, a loss of confidence in our business, early termination of our contracts and other business losses, indemnification of our customers, liability for stolen assets or information, increased cybersecurity protection and insurance costs, financial penalties, litigation, regulatory investigations or enforcement actions, costs in investigating and defending any such claims, and other significant liabilities, any of which could materially harm our business any of which could adversely affect our business, revenues, and competitive position.

We have integrated artificial intelligence (“AI”) technologies in many of our tools and features available on our website. We may continue to integrate AI technologies in new product or service offerings. Given that AI is a rapidly developing technology that is in its early stages of business use, it presents a number of operational, compliance and reputational risks. AI algorithms are currently known to sometimes produce unexpected results and behave in unpredictable ways (e.g., “hallucinatory behavior”) that can generate irrelevant, nonsensical, fictitious, deficient, offensive or factually incorrect content and results, which, if incorporated into our platform, may result in reputational harm to us and be damaging to our brand. Additionally, content, analyses or recommendations that are based on AI might be found to be biased, discriminatory or harmful. Data sets from which Large Language Models learn are at risk of poisoning or manipulation by bad actors, resulting in offensive or undesired output. Similarly, the data set could contain copyrighted material resulting in infringing output. AI output might present ethical concerns or violate current and future laws and regulations.

We have integrated artificial intelligence (“AI”) technologies in many of our tools and features available on our website. We may continue to integrate AI technologies in new product or service offerings. Given that AI is a rapidly developing technology that is in its early stages of business use, it presents a number of operational, compliance and reputational risks and there can be no assurance that our integration of such technologies will always enhance our services or be beneficial to our business, including our efficiency or profitability. AI algorithms are currently known to sometimes produce unexpected results and behave in unpredictable ways (e.g., “hallucinatory behavior”) that can generate irrelevant, nonsensical, fictitious, deficient, offensive or factually incorrect content and results. In particular, if the models incorporated into our platform, are incorrectly designed or implemented, trained or reliant on incomplete, inadequate, inaccurate, biased or otherwise poor quality data, used without sufficient oversight and governance, and/or adversely impacted by unforeseen defects, technical challenges, cybersecurity threats, data privacy concerns, or material performance issues, it may result in harm to the performance of our services and business, as well as reputational harm to us and be damaging to our brand or we could incur liability resulting from the violation of laws or contracts to which we are a party or civil claims. Additionally, content, analyses or recommendations that are based on AI might be found or viewed to be biased, discriminatory or harmful, exposing us to risks that we have discriminated against persons belonging to a protected class. Data sets from which Large Language Models learn are at risk of poisoning or manipulation by bad actors, resulting in offensive or undesired output. Similarly, the data set could contain copyrighted material resulting in infringing output. AI output might present ethical concerns or violate current and future laws and regulations. Any resulting investigation or litigation could have an adverse impact on our results of operations due to the associated costs and any related fines, and could also have an adverse impact on our customer relationships.
Previous wording
We expect that there will continue to be new laws or regulations concerning the use of AI technology, which might be burdensome for us to comply with and may limit our ability to offer or enhance our existing tools and features or new offerings based on AI technology. Further, the use of AI technology involves complexities and requires specialized expertise. We may not be able to attract and retain top talent to support our AI technology initiatives. If any of the operational, compliance or reputational risks were to materialize, our business and results of operations may be adversely affected.
Current wording
The regulatory framework for AI technologies is rapidly evolving as many federal, state and foreign government bodies and agencies have enacted or are currently considering laws and regulations governing AI technology. Additionally, existing laws and regulations may be interpreted or enforced in ways that would affect the operation of our AI technologies. As a result, implementation standards and enforcement practices are likely to remain uncertain for the foreseeable future, and we cannot predict the impact future laws, regulations, or standards, or market perception of their requirements, may have on our business or how we will respond to these laws or regulations. Such regulations might be burdensome for us to comply with and may limit our ability to offer or enhance our existing tools and features or new offerings based on AI technology.

Recent technological advances in AI and machine learning technology may pose risks to us. Our use of AI could give rise to legal or regulatory action, create liabilities, or materially harm our business. While we aim to develop and use AI and machine learning technology responsibly and attempt to mitigate ethical and legal issues presented by its use, we may ultimately be unsuccessful in identifying or resolving issues before they arise. Further, as the technology is rapidly evolving, costs and obligations could be imposed on us to comply with new regulations.
Current wording
Recent technological advances in AI and machine learning technology may pose risks to us. Our use of AI or any failure or perceived failure by us to comply with existing or newly enacted laws, regulations and other requirements relating to AI technologies could give rise to legal claims or proceedings (including class actions), regulatory investigations or enforcement actions, negative reputational impacts and other penalties or liabilities that materially harm our business. While we aim to develop and use AI and machine learning technology responsibly and attempt to mitigate ethical and legal issues presented by its use, we may ultimately be unsuccessful in identifying or resolving issues before they arise. Further, as the technology is rapidly evolving, costs and obligations could be imposed on us to comply with new laws, regulations, regulations or decisions and/or guidance interpreting existing laws, which could be significant and increase our operating expenses. Such an increase in operating expenses could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We also could be exposed to the risks of machine learning technology if third-party service providers or any counterparties, whether or not known to us, also use machine learning technology in their business activities. We will not be in a position to control the use of such technology in third-party products or services. Use by third-party service providers could give rise to issues pertaining to data privacy, data protection, and intellectual property considerations.

Demand for our products and services is highly correlated with general economic conditions, as a substantial portion of our revenue is derived from discretionary spending by individuals, which typically declines during times of economic instability. Declines in economic conditions in the United States or in other countries in which we operate and may operate in the future may adversely impact our financial results. Because such declines in demand are difficult to predict, we or our industry may have increased excess capacity as a result. An increase in excess capacity may result in declines in prices for our products and services. Our ability to grow or maintain our business may be adversely affected by sustained economic weakness and uncertainty, including the effect of wavering consumer confidence, high unemployment, and other factors. The inability to grow or maintain our business would adversely affect our business, financial conditions, and results of operations, and thereby an investment in our common stock.

Our future success largely depends upon the continued services of our executive officers and management team, especially our Chief Executive Officer, Chairman of our board of directors, and President, Mr. Rory J. Cutaia. If one or more of our executive officers are unable or unwilling to continue in their present positions, we may not be able to replace them readily, if at all. Additionally, we may incur additional expenses to recruit and retain new executive officers. If any of our executive officers joins a competitor or forms a competing company, we may lose some or all of our customers. Finally, we do not maintain “key person” life insurance on any of our executive officers. Because of these factors, the loss of the services of any of these key persons could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations, and thereby an investment in our stock.

We expect we will need significant additional capital in the future to continue our planned operations, including any potential acquisitions, hiring new personnel and continuing activities as an operating public company. To the extent we seek additional capital through a combination of public and private equity offerings and debt financings, our stockholders may experience substantial dilution. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the ownership interest of our existing stockholders may be diluted, and the terms may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect the rights of our stockholders. Debt and receivables financings may be coupled with an equity component, such as warrants to purchase shares of our common stock, which could also result in dilution of our existing stockholders’ ownership. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased fixed payment obligations and could also result in certain restrictive covenants, such as limitations on our ability to incur additional debt and other operating restrictions that could adversely impact our ability to conduct our business. A failure to obtain adequate funds may cause us to curtail certain operational activities, including sales and marketing, in order to reduce costs and sustain the business, and would have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.

We, our partners and our third-party service providers face numerous and evolving cybersecurity risks that threaten the confidentiality, integrity and availability of our information technology systems and confidential information, and may experience cybersecurity incidents due to human error, malfeasance, insider threats, system errors or vulnerabilities, or other irregularities. In particular, unauthorized parties have attempted, and we expect that they will continue to attempt, to gain access to our systems, as well as the systems and facilities of our partners and third-party service providers, through various means, such as hacking, social engineering, phishing and fraud and we cannot guarantee that material incidents will not occur in the future. Advanced cyberattacks can be multi-staged, unfold over time, and utilize a range of attack vectors with military-grade cyber weapons and proven techniques, such as spear phishing, social engineering, and malware (including ransomware), leaving organizations and users at high risk of being compromised. Any such access, disclosure, or other loss of information, or any other adverse impact to the availability, integrity or confidentiality of our information technology systems or confidential information could result in legal claims or proceedings (such as class actions), liability under laws that protect the privacy of personal information, regulatory penalties, a disruption of our operations, damage to our reputation, a loss of confidence in our business, early termination of our contracts and other business losses, indemnification of our customers, liability for stolen assets or information, increased cybersecurity protection and insurance costs, fines and financial penalties, litigation, regulatory investigations and other significant liabilities, any of which could materially adversely affect our business, revenues, and competitive position.
