Key Financial Metrics

Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Revenue Decline: Revenues decreased 47.9% to $4.09 million, driven by a $3.25 million drop in drone sales due to delayed federal defense funding, government shutdowns, and shifting European market sentiment toward local producers. Sensor revenues also declined due to sales mix and repricing.
• Operating Expenses Increase: Total operating expenses rose 67.7% to $12.65 million. General and Administrative (G&A) expenses increased 47.6% due to higher compensation, relocation costs, and professional fees. Research and Development (R&D) expenses surged 142.1% to $3.75 million due to consultant engagement and engineering hires.
• Significant Non-Operating Losses: The Company recognized an unrealized loss of $3.36 million on short-term and long-term equity investments (Aerodrome Group and ThirdEye Systems). This contrasts with the prior year, which included an $8.5 million gain on warrant liabilities and a $250,000 gain from the sale of a domain name.
• Deemed Dividends: Down round triggers on Series F and G Preferred Stock resulted in $1.39 million in deemed dividends, increasing the net loss attributable to common stockholders.

Guidance, Outlook, Risks, and Contingencies

• Going Concern Warning: Management has expressed substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for the next 12 months. While the Company has $15.9 million in cash and working capital of $23.7 million, it does not have sufficient cash on hand to meet financial obligations without additional funding. The Company is evaluating restructuring initiatives and capital raising strategies.
• Capital Raising: During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company generated $8.25 million in net proceeds from the issuance of Series F and Series G Preferred Stock. As of June 30, 2026, 80,750 shares of Series G remain available for issuance.
• Strategic Investments: The Company invested $13 million in equity securities (Aerodrome Group and ThirdEye Systems) to expand into loitering munitions and counter-drone markets. These investments are marked-to-market, contributing to the current period's unrealized losses.
• Risks: Key risks include supply chain disruptions, global economic volatility, reliance on government defense contracts, and the need for continued equity financing to sustain operations.

Investor Verification Checklist

• Liquidity Runway: Verify the timeline for the next capital raise given the "substantial doubt" going concern disclosure and the $8.4 million cash burn from operations in the first half of the year.
• Investment Valuation: Review the fair value methodology and market performance of the $9.64 million invested in Aerodrome Group and ThirdEye Systems, which drove a $3.36 million unrealized loss.
• Debt Structure: Confirm the terms and conversion triggers of the outstanding Series F and Series G Preferred Stock, specifically the impact of down-round provisions on common shareholder dilution.
• Government Contract Exposure: Assess the impact of the U.S. federal government shutdown and delayed defense funding on the drone segment's revenue recovery.
• Expense Trajectory: Monitor the sustainability of the 142% increase in R&D expenses and 47% increase in G&A expenses relative to the declining revenue base.
