### Future Outlook and Strategy

DSS, Inc. plans to continue its evolution and deliver value to stakeholders across its diverse business lines. The Commercial Lending division intends to transition away from certain industries like direct marketing to focus on growing its inventory/equipment loan portfolio and engaging in specialized lending areas such as broker/dealer loans. The company will monitor its managed loan portfolio and explore future opportunities, anticipating the equity portfolio as a bank holding company to remain relatively stable.

### Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2026, DSS, Inc. had cash of approximately $4,936,000 and believes it will have access to equity and/or debt-based financing to meet its working capital needs, with sufficient cash for at least the next 12 months. Despite incurring operating losses and negative cash flows from operating and investing activities over the past two years, raising substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern, DSS, Inc. can generate operating cash through the sale of its $983,000 marketable securities and is implementing measures to materially reduce expenses and cash burn across all corporate and business line levels.
