Net loss for Q3 was $2.2M ($0.08 per share), compared to $1.6M ($0.06 per share) in Q3 2023.
The TRIO platform was discontinued after failing to meet market requirements, leading to a 19% workforce reduction and a company-wide restructuring.
Cash and investments at quarter end totaled $72.1M, with no debt, supporting a strong balance sheet and future strategic investments.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
