Management calls the case a reorganization to stabilize operations.

  • Court filings show assets of roughly $100,000–$500,000 against $1 million–$10 million in liabilities, indicating insolvency.
  • Leadership says the business remains open and is fulfilling orders under court supervision during restructuring.
