For the first quarter ended March 31, 2026, total revenues increased 2.9% year over year to approximately $1.55 million, driven primarily by contracted software development revenue. During the quarter, we improved liquidity, reduced our working capital deficit, and continued to focus on disciplined cost management and operational efficiency. As expected, first quarter results were impacted by higher non-cash depreciation and amortization expenses related to acquired and developed intangible assets.
