Material uncertainty over going concern
The Directors noted that the Company's ability to continue operating as a going concern is dependent on its parent company EKC adequately funding its existing preferred stock and debt obligations when they become due in May 2026. This gives rise to a material uncertainty related to the events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
