The company also recorded an inventory impairment of $2,038 thousand related to thermal cameras designed for medical applications, which could not be repurposed for industrial demand. MSAI's effective income tax rate for the quarter was negative due to losses generated and a valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets. The company experienced an ownership change on July 1, 2024, which subjected tax attributes to an annual limitation, including the utilization of net operating losses. In terms of business development, MSAI completed a merger with Legacy ICI, resulting in a reverse acquisition accounting treatment. MSAI continues to provide predictive maintenance and process control solutions across various industries. Looking ahead, MSAI has engaged in several financing transactions, including a public equity offering and private placement, to support its operations and growth strategies. The company acknowledges the substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern and is actively seeking additional capital to finance future operations.
