The company posted an earnings per share (EPS) of -$0.10, compared to the forecasted -$0.05, while revenue reached $2.19 million, falling short of the anticipated $3.79 million.

King was elected as a Class Three director, and Weaver & Tidwell, L.L.P. was ratified as the independent auditor for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025.
