The company intends to grant underwriters a 30-day option to acquire an additional 15% of shares as part of the offering. Alongside the financial move, management released preliminary third-quarter results projecting revenue between $12.5 million and $12.7 million, exceeding the $11.7 million consensus estimate from FactSet analysts.

This represents at least a 25% improvement over the same period last year. With a gross margin anticipated between 36% and 38%, the company reported cash and short-term investments totaling $16.6 million.
