Q&A Highlights

Estimates Context
- S&P Global consensus coverage appears limited. For Q3 2025, we did not observe published consensus for revenue or EPS; S&P Global reflects the actual revenue of $1,939,542 and no consensus fields for EPS or number of estimates [GetEstimates].
- Implication: With no formal consensus, buyside modeling will likely tighten around reported SaaS KPIs (customers, prepaid fees) and implied ARR traction. Values retrieved from S&P Global.

Key Takeaways for Investors
- The business has turned a commercialization corner: sequential net sales re-accelerated to $1.94M in Q3, supported by expanding SaaS customer count and sizable prepaid balances signaling forward demand .
- Margin structure is now SaaS-like: 9M gross margin of 83% indicates the mix shift is working and should support operating leverage as scale builds .
- Losses are narrowing quickly, but scale remains small; monitoring G&A and efficiency metrics is essential to sustain momentum without pressuring cash .
- The dual-engine strategy (MCN digital services + customized software R&D) is gaining proof points via $480k in contracts and growing SaaS KPIs, offering multiple growth vectors .
- Liquidity improved materially with $5.91M cash and positive operating cash generation YTD, providing runway for product and GTM investments .
- Absence of formal guidance and lack of consensus estimates increases modeling uncertainty; focus near-term on leading indicators (customers, prepaid, retention/upsell) and sequential revenue cadence .
- Event exposure (Osaka Expo) may accelerate partnerships and international pipelines, potentially aiding FY transition to a recurring-revenue model .
