- The company reported no material pending litigation, no material off-balance-sheet arrangements and no significant direct operational exposure to Russia or Ukraine.
- Disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2023 because of material weaknesses identified in the 2022 Form 10-K. Management reported increased workflow documentation and ERP training during 2023.

Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify whether the Q1 contract deliveries and 69% gross margin are repeatable or reflect unusually favorable product mix.
- Track conversion of the $18.9 million backlog and $4.4 million of Q1 bookings into revenue and operating cash flow.
- Review accounts receivable, unbilled revenue and inventory growth relative to revenue, including collectability and inventory reserves.
- Assess customer concentration, particularly government procurement timing and the customer representing 26% of accounts receivable.
- Monitor remediation of the material weaknesses in disclosure controls and internal control over financial reporting.
- Evaluate liquidity after considering the mortgage, lease commitments, working-capital requirements and the potential need for additional financing.
