  • Strong pipeline conversion: ~$13.0M in new SGS orders expected to be recognized over the next four quarters, reinforcing visibility into future revenue .
  • Strategic pivot of TTM assets: Management is repurposing GPUs/data center for AI/ML processing and hosted computing; positioning near renewable power and below-average power costs to support recurring revenue and margin profile over time .

  • High financing costs and derivative impacts: Q3 interest expense was ~$0.72M on convertible debentures, with complex derivative liabilities and default-related terms increasing financial risk .
  • Liquidity and going concern: Cash $0.14M, working capital deficit ~$21.6M; management disclosed substantial doubt about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern without new capital and improved vendor terms .
