Risk factors
Text added vs the prior filing · source: 10-Q · 2026-05-12
•Material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, which contributed to a previously disclosed restatement of our prior period financial statements expose us to significant risks and uncertainties.
•Defects and poor quality which require rework, replacement parts or systems and associated costs of service could have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
•We face the risk of losing recurring revenue and forecasting certainty if customers choose not to renew their typical four‑year subscriptions or if renewal terms result in lower revenue than expiring agreements, and significant losses if returned systems cannot be profitably redeployed.
•Our expansion into international markets exposes us to additional operational, regulatory, and compliance risks that could adversely affect our business.
•Our growth potential outside the U.S. may be limited or vary due to differences in security threats, customer perceptions, regulatory environments, and international market dynamics, as well as our own expansion and investment priorities.

•We identified certain misstatements to our previously issued financial statements and have restated the financial statements described below, which has exposed us to a number of additional risks and uncertainties.
•We have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting.
•Our failure to prepare and timely file our periodic reports with the SEC limits our access to the public markets to raise debt or equity capital.
•If we are not able to maintain and enhance our brand or reputation as an industry leader, our business and operating results may be adversely affected.
•We may be unable to acquire new customers or sell additional products to our customers and maintain retention rates.
How to read Risk Factors (Item 1A) in a 10-Q
A 10-Q risk-factor section usually takes one of three forms; this page classifies it as one of:
- Pointer — the filer states there have been no material changes and points back to the annual 10-K risk factors; there is no own risk text to compare this quarter.
- Partial update — the filer carves out specific updated risks ("except as set forth below"); the excerpts show exactly what is new this quarter.
- Restated in full — the quarter carries the complete risk-factor text. When the prior quarter was only a pointer there is no prior full text to diff against, so the page flags the section as restated instead.
This describes the filing structure only — it is never a judgement on whether risk went up or down.
