- Operating expenses declined 9% YoY to $2.14M, partially offsetting margin pressure; working capital improved to $9.40M with equity at $16.20M and cash at $2.86M .

Key Takeaways for Investors
- Margin stabilization is the critical near-term catalyst: telecom product mix drove gross margin to ~1.8%; watch for mix shift and scale benefits from C2/DaGe/Big Data to lift margins .
- Diversification advancing: tangible revenue from C2/DaGe/Big Data arrived; auto/OEM partnerships strengthen commercialization pathways for emergency response and intelligent mobility .
- Operating discipline provides a buffer: OpEx down 9% YoY; continued cost control can mitigate low-margin phases during new segment ramp .
- Receivables and credit quality are a watch-item: $0.31M impairment and high AR balance suggest tight working-capital management and collections will be key to cash conversion .
- Liquidity improved sequentially with financing and warrant exercises; working capital and equity strengthened, but cash can swing as deposits and growth initiatives expand .
- Absent guidance and no call transcript increases uncertainty; stock likely trades on execution signals (new contracts, deployments, segment revenue ramp) and any evidence of margin recovery .
- Medium-term thesis: if C2/DaGe/Big Data scale and mix shifts toward higher-margin data-driven lines, profitability trajectory can improve; monitor partnerships translating to recurring enterprise/municipal revenues .
