Key Financial Metrics

Note: Debt figures include Loan Payable and Convertible Notes. Total Liabilities were $17.7 million as of March 31, 2025.

Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Revenue Decline: Service revenue decreased 37% to $0.3 million, driven by a reduction in engineering project services for U.S. Government organizations compared to the prior year.
• Expense Reduction: Operating expenses decreased 26% to $6.5 million. Research and Development (R&D) expenses fell 28% and Selling, General, and Administrative (SG&A) expenses fell 26%, primarily due to reduced headcount and lower stock-based compensation.
• Net Loss Improvement: Net loss narrowed by 26% to $6.2 million, reflecting the reduction in operating expenses.
• Capital Raising: The company raised approximately $5.0 million in a February 2025 public offering and $2.1 million via a March 2025 warrant inducement agreement, significantly increasing cash balances from $1.6 million to $3.4 million.
• Debt Restructuring: The company amended and extinguished several convertible notes, recognizing a $58,000 gain on debt extinguishment.

Outlook, Risks, and Contingencies

• Going Concern Warning: Management has concluded that there is substantial doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern for twelve months following the issuance of this report. Current cash levels are insufficient to fund operations, commercial production scaling, and existing services without raising substantial additional capital.
• Liquidity Strategy: The company expects to finance operations through equity or debt financings, which may not be available on favorable terms or in a timely manner. Failure to raise capital could result in scaling back or halting operations.
• Legal Proceedings:
  • Securities Class Actions: A settlement of $8.5 million was approved and paid in full as of December 31, 2024, though appeals regarding the release scope are possible.
  • Shareholder Derivative Litigation: Settlements were approved in January 2025 involving corporate governance reforms; costs were covered by insurance.
  • Vendor Dispute: A vendor has threatened legal action regarding approximately $0.4 million in outstanding invoices.
• Internal Controls: The company identified a material weakness in internal controls over financial reporting related to misclassification of revenue, legal expenses, and prepaid R&D expenses. Remediation plans are underway.
• Subsequent Events: In May 2025, the company issued a $1.2 million convertible promissory note to A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners and issued shares to settle vendor debts.

Investor Verification Checklist

• Cash Runway: Verify the sufficiency of the $3.4 million cash balance against the stated burn rate and the timeline for securing additional financing.
• Debt Covenants: Review the terms of the July and October Convertible Notes, specifically regarding conversion prices, maturity dates, and potential acceleration clauses upon default.
• Revenue Visibility: Assess the $3.0 million in customer deposits (contract liabilities) and the likelihood of converting these into recognized revenue given the lack of recent launch activity.
• Legal Exposure: Monitor the status of the vendor dispute ($0.4 million) and any potential appeals regarding the securities class action settlement release.
• Internal Control Remediation: Track the progress of remediation for the material weakness in financial reporting to ensure future financial statement reliability.
