Distribution revenue rose 15% year-over-year, driven by higher engagement and monetization at Kartoon Channel! and Ameba, both of which reached record paid subscriber levels. Total operating expenses declined 20%, narrowing the loss from operations as cost controls and past platform investments improved efficiency.

Current assets were $30.7 million versus current liabilities of $31.4 million, resulting in negative working capital of $0.7 million.
Management disclosed that recurring losses, cash burn, negative working capital, and reliance on external financing led to the conclusion that there is “substantial doubt” about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern for at least one year.
