The operational improvements are positive, but the underlying financial structure remains highly precarious.

• The working capital deficit increased to $42,166,650 as of June 30, 2025, from $41,138,867 at December 31, 2024, primarily due to notes payable and accrued interest.

Risks

• Substantial doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern due to net losses and working capital deficit.
• Dependence on obtaining adequate financing to fulfill growth and operating activities and generate sufficient revenues to support the cost structure.
• Uncertainty of product development and successful testing of products.
• Dependence on key individuals for operations.
• Risks associated with successful protection of intellectual property.
• Ability to maintain and grow the customer base.
• Susceptibility to infringement on the proprietary rights of others.

Future Outlook

Management plans to continue funding operations by increasing sales volumes, controlling capital expenditures, managing new inventory orders, modifying debt, increasing sales outreach, streamlining general and administrative costs, competitive industry pricing, selling debt or equity securities, debt conversions, offering new products or services, and forming new business partnerships. The company is also assessing the adoption timing and effect of new accounting standards related to expense disaggregation disclosures.

Management Comments

• Management believes the financial statements include all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for the fair statement of the financial information.
• Management has evaluated the significance of the conditions related to the going concern and concluded that, without additional funding, the company will not have sufficient funds to meet its obligations within one year from the date the consolidated financial statements were issued.
• Management continues to monitor the immediate and future cash flow needs of the company through various strategies including forecasted net cash flows from operations, capital expenditure control, and new business partnerships.
• Management believes the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report fairly present, in all material respects, the financial position, results of operations and cash flows as of the dates, and for the periods, presented, in conformity with GAAP, despite the material weakness in internal control.

Industry Context

CareView operates in the healthcare technology sector, providing patient video monitoring solutions. The company's focus on reducing patient falls and sitter costs, alongside its expansion into remote patient monitoring (SitterView, TeleMedView) and long-term care (CareView Connect), aligns with broader industry trends driven by increasing demands for care, staffing shortages, and the need for operational efficiencies in hospitals and nursing facilities. The emphasis on virtual nursing workflows and hybrid patient care reflects the evolving landscape of healthcare delivery.

Corporate Governance

Related Party Transactions

• Notes payable to related parties totaling $700,000 as of June 30, 2025.
• Deferred officer compensation of $49,528 for Steve Johnson, CEO, representing remaining salary payable from February 15, 2018, to September 30, 2020.
• Steven G. Johnson (President and CEO) and Dr. James R. Higgins (a director) were parties to the Ninth, Tenth, and Eleventh Amendments to the PDL Credit Agreement.

Stakeholder Impact

• Shareholders face potential dilution from future capital raises (debt or equity) and significant risk due to the going concern doubt and large accumulated deficit.
• Creditors, particularly PDL BioPharma, Inc., are impacted by the repeated extensions of the credit agreement and its classification as a troubled debt restructuring.
• Employees may face uncertainty given the company's going concern issues, though management is focused on streamlining costs and increasing sales.
• Customers (hospitals, healthcare facilities) may benefit from continued product development and expanded service offerings, but the company's financial stability could be a long-term concern for service continuity.

Next Steps

• Implement remediation plan for the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting, including hiring qualified accounting personnel, enhancing documentation, providing training, automating controls, and engaging third-party experts.
• Continue efforts to increase sales volumes and streamline costs to improve cash flow from operations.
• Actively pursue additional capital through sales of debt or equity securities or loans to address liquidity needs and the going concern issue.
• Monitor and manage the PDL Credit Agreement, with the next maturity date set for September 30, 2025.

Key Dates

Recommendation

Despite improvements in revenue and reduced net losses, the company faces severe financial challenges, including a substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern, a growing working capital deficit of over $42 million, and a large accrued interest payable exceeding $21 million. The repeated extensions of the PDL Credit Agreement, classified as a troubled debt restructuring, highlight ongoing liquidity issues. While management has a remediation plan for internal controls and strategies for growth, the fundamental financial instability and heavy reliance on future capital raises present an extremely high risk profile for investors. The operational improvements are overshadowed by the precarious balance sheet and the explicit going concern warning.
