("Allure), a Georgia corporation, Creative Realities Canada, Inc., a Canadian corporation, and Reflect Systems, Inc. ("Reflect"), a Delaware corporation. Reverse stock split On March 23, 2023, the Company filed Articles of Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Minnesota to effectuate, effective March 27, 2023, a 1-for-3 reverse stock split of the shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.01 per share. All share and per share information (including share and per share information related to share-based compensation) has been retroactively adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split within this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. As a result of the reverse stock split, effective 12:01 am on March 27, 2023, every three shares of common stock then-issued and outstanding automatically combined into one share of common stock, with no change in par value per share. No fractional shares were outstanding following the reverse stock split and any fractional shares resulting from the reverse split were rounded up to the nearest whole share of common stock. In connection with the reverse stock split, the total number of shares of common stock authorized for issuance was reduced from 200,000,000 shares to 66,666,666 shares in proportion to the reverse stock split. Effective as of the same time as the reverse stock split, the number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the Company's equity compensation plans were reduced in proportion to the reverse stock split. The reverse stock split also resulted in reductions in the number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercising or vesting of equity awards in proportion to the reverse stock split and proportionate increases in exercise price or share-based performance criteria, if any, applicable to such awards. Similarly, the number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding warrants were reduced in proportion to the reverse stock split, and the exercise prices of outstanding warrants were proportionately increased. Liquidity and Financial Condition In accordance with Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40) (“ASU 205-40”), the Company has evaluated whether there are certain conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are issued. At June 30, 2023, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $52,834, negative working capital of $6,071, including current debt obligations of $4,197, and cash of $3,264. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company incurred an operating loss of $790 and generated positive net cash flows from operations of $6,344. In addition, pursuant to the Second Amended and Restated Credit and Security Agreement (the "Credit Agreement") made between the Company and Slipstream Communications ("Slipstream") the Company is required to make monthly repayments of principal on the Consolidation Term Loan beginning on September 1, 2023 and on the first day of each month thereafter until the Maturity Date on February 17, 2025. The monthly principal payment beginning on September 1, 2023 is approximately $399, or total principal repayments for the twelve months subsequent to the reporting date of these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of $4,389. As a result of the principal debt service payments required to be paid on account of the Consolidation Term Loan, the Company does not currently have cash on hand or committed available liquidity to repay all of its outstanding debt due within one year after the date that these financial statements are issued. These conditions and events raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern under the technical framework within ASU 205-40. In response to these conditions, management plans to either refinance or recapitalize the debt. However, these plans have not been finalized and are not completely within the Company's control, and therefore cannot be deemed probable under ASU 205-40. We have been unable to obtain a continuing support letter from Slipstream beyond the period ending May 31, 2024. Obtaining a continuing support letter from Slipstream beyond one year of the date our financial statements were issued was a factor that previously alleviated the substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. As a result, the Company has concluded that management's plans do not alleviate substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
