- Mix shift aided results: product sales surged to $1.02M vs. $0.12M YoY while monitoring services declined, driven by fewer monitored individuals in Virginia and Washington D.C. and the sale of the Chilean subsidiary; Illinois and the Bahamas offset some weakness .

- Cash increased to $4.91M (+37% since Sep 30, 2024), reinforcing liquidity against a high long-term debt load of $42.7M and continued stockholders’ deficit .
- Primary stock-reaction catalysts: structural cost reductions, strong product sales, and a sizable currency exchange gain, tempered by monitoring volume declines in key regions and leverage considerations .
