Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Revenue Growth: Revenue increased 328.3% quarter-over-quarter (QoQ) to $144,459 and 207.9% year-over-year (YoY) for the six-month period to $249,032, driven by increased tugger deployments.
• Expense Increases: Cost of revenue rose 425.2% QoQ to $88,983. Research and Development (R&D) expenses increased 60.1% QoQ to $3.15 million, primarily due to higher personnel and contractor costs. General and Administrative (G&A) expenses increased 3.0% QoQ to $3.66 million.
• Net Loss: Net loss increased to $6.35 million for the quarter compared to $5.45 million in the prior year quarter, reflecting higher operational costs despite revenue growth.
• Capital Structure: The company completed a registered direct offering in March 2026, raising approximately $8.75 million net. Additionally, at-the-market (ATM) sales generated $9.17 million in net proceeds during the six-month period.
• Share Count: Outstanding shares increased from 7.97 million (Dec 31, 2025) to 14.42 million (June 30, 2026) due to equity offerings and warrant exercises.

Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary

• Liquidity: Management believes current cash and short-term investments ($39.7 million total) are sufficient to fund operations for at least the next 12 months. The company continues to rely on equity financing to fund R&D and operations.
• Internal Controls: The company disclosed a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting related to the misinterpretation of accounting guidance for complex transactions. While a new control was implemented, it has not yet been tested due to a lack of relevant transactions, and the weakness remains unremediated as of June 30, 2026.
• Legal Contingencies: The company is contesting a potential obligation to pay a $2.3 million fee and issue warrants to a former placement agent. No liability has been accrued, but an unfavorable outcome is considered reasonably possible.
• Personnel Changes: Martin Petraitis, Vice President of Sales, was terminated on July 24, 2026. The CFO's base salary was increased from $250,000 to $300,000 effective August 1, 2026.
• Customer Concentration: Revenue is concentrated among a few customers. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, three customers accounted for approximately 72% of total revenue.

Investor Verification Checklist

• Material Weakness Remediation: Verify the timeline and specific steps taken to remediate the internal control material weakness regarding complex accounting transactions.
• Placement Agent Dispute: Monitor the status of the dispute regarding the potential $2.3 million fee and warrant issuance to the former placement agent.
• Revenue Sustainability: Assess the durability of the revenue growth given the high concentration of revenue from a small number of customers.
• Cash Burn Rate: Evaluate the runway provided by current cash reserves against the increasing R&D and G&A expense trends.
• Equity Dilution: Review the impact of recent and potential future equity issuances (ATM and direct offerings) on shareholder dilution.
