Liquidity

2. Liquidity

 

Through September 30, 2024, the Company’s primary capital requirements have been for cash used in operating activities and for the repayment of debt. Funds for the Company’s cash and liquidity needs have historically not been generated from operations but rather from loans as well as from convertible debt and equity financing. The Company has been dependent on raising capital from debt and equity financing to meet the Company’s operating needs.

 

The Company had an accumulated deficit of $87.0 million as of September 30, 2024, having incurred a net loss of $4.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

 

On October 7, 2024, the Company satisfied all of its secured debt and $2.5 million of unsecured debt by assigning ownership of its subsidiary, Craft C+P, to the creditors of that debt, who additionally surrendered to the Company 44,279 shares of Series C Preferred Stock. The transaction substantially reduced the Company’s debt obligations. On the same day, Beeline merged into a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Beeline used $8.6 million in operating activities during 2023 and $10.1 million in operating activities during the first six months of 2024, funds that it obtained from a variety of debt and equity financing transactions.

 

The Company’s ability, therefore, to meet its ongoing operating cash needs over the next 12 months will depend in part on generating positive operating cash flow through increased sales. However, the Company will continue to depend, for the foreseeable future, on debt and/or equity financing. If the Company is unable to obtain additional financing, or additional financing is not available on acceptable terms, the Company may seek to sell assets, reduce operating expenses, reduce or eliminate marketing initiatives, and take other measures that could impair its ability to be successful.

 

Although the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 were prepared under the assumption that it would continue operations as a going concern, the report of its independent registered public accounting firm that accompanied the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 contained a going concern explanatory paragraph in which such firm expressed substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, based on the financial statements at that time. If the Company cannot continue as a going concern, its stockholders would likely lose most or all of their investment in it.
