Key Financial Metrics

Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Revenue Decline: Net revenues decreased 66.5% in Q2 2025 and 54.9% YTD compared to 2024. Management attributes this to the absence of over $13 million in federal government purchase orders that were shipped in the prior year's comparable periods.
• Non-Cash Fair Value Volatility: The Q2 2025 net loss of $23.76 million was driven primarily by non-cash losses totaling $22.26 million. This includes a $14.49 million loss from the change in fair value of warrant liabilities and a $7.30 million loss from the change in fair value of earnout liabilities, both resulting from an increase in the company's stock price.
• YTD Performance: Conversely, the YTD 2025 net loss was minimal at $49,000, compared to a $13.5 million loss in YTD 2024. This improvement was due to non-cash gains of $3.55 million from the fair value adjustments of earnout and warrant liabilities, which offset operating losses.
• Balance Sheet: Cash decreased from $11.41 million to $6.31 million. The company repaid $1.3 million in advances from founders during the period. Total liabilities decreased from $66.73 million to $56.96 million, largely due to the reduction in earnout liability.

Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary

• Government Policy Impact: Management highlights that an executive order signed on January 20, 2025, creating the "Department of Government Efficiency" to reduce federal expenditures, is materially affecting their business. Uncertainty regarding federal budget priorities and staffing levels poses a risk to future revenue.
• Going Concern: Management assessed liquidity in August 2025 and concluded there is no substantial doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern through at least August 2026, based on current cash and operations.
• Supply Chain Risks: The company relies on suppliers in Taiwan and Canada. Geopolitical constraints and potential tariffs could impact the timely delivery of edge AI hardware and increase costs.
• Customer Concentration: For the six months ended June 30, 2025, two customers represented 65% of total revenue. One customer represented approximately 83% of outstanding accounts receivable.
• Strategic Focus: The company aims to expand within existing government agencies, penetrate the commercial marketplace, and increase sales of edge AI hardware devices.

Investor Verification Checklist

• Revenue Sustainability: Verify the pipeline for new federal government contracts given the stated impact of the "Department of Government Efficiency" executive order.
• Cash Burn Rate: Monitor the $3.92 million cash used in operating activities YTD against the $6.31 million cash balance to assess runway without additional financing.
• Customer Concentration: Assess the risk associated with one customer representing 83% of accounts receivable and two customers representing 65% of revenue.
• Non-Cash Volatility: Understand that net income/loss is heavily influenced by non-cash fair value adjustments of warrants and earnouts, which fluctuate with the stock price and do not reflect operational cash generation.
• Debt and Liabilities: Review the $48.65 million in liabilities measured at fair value (warrants and earnouts) and the potential dilution from 21.9 million outstanding warrants.
